The association has demanded upgradation of the grade pay of the post of Technical Officers to GP 4600 to restore parity with the Revenue Inspectors existing prior to the VI CPC. It is stated that even after merger of some scales by the VI CPC, the Revenue Inspectors should have stayed at the same level as Technical Officers. However post VI CPC, the Revenue Inspectors were extended a higher grade pay.

Analysis and Recommendations

The Commission is of the view that seeking parity across disparate cadres merely on account of historicity is not quite justified. However, independent of the parity issue, there is merit in the demand as Technical Officers have an entry grade qualification of B.Tech. against which the VI CPC had recommended a uniform GP 4600. The Commission accordingly recommends that the Technical Officers in the Office of the Textile Commissioner, who are presently in the GP 4200 may be upgraded to GP 4600. With this upgradation, Technical Officer shall come to lie in a scale identical to their promotion post of Assistant Director Grade II (Technical). It is, accordingly, recommended that Assistant Director Gr. II (Technical) be placed in the next higher GP 4800. The next promotional post of Assistant Director Grade I (Technical) shall remain in the existing GP 5400 (PB-3).
