The order itself shows the difference among different cadres of CSCS. DOPT is being run by some of the association leaders and orders are being issued in consultation of all these gr8 fellows, those who only knows devide and rule. Is this the way to zeopardize the future of all UDC/LDC, nothing eles.
This OM should be extended to other departments of central government.
This order is of immense help if implemented in all India radio &doordarshan as admn staff of these two organisations are the worst sufferes because of indifferent attitude of the authorities concerned
UDCs of Central Secretariat Clerical Services are being granted with GP of Rs.4200/- in Pay Band II on completion of 5 years regular service (NFSG). Thanks to the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel Public Grievance and Pensions. Is this in conformity with the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission or National Anomaly Committee Recommendations? God knows! With this the U.D.Cs of Central Secretariat Services have been placed at par with the Supervisors i.e. Office Superintendents of Subordinate Offices. A good initiative to differentiate the subordinate offices and secretariate offices. The recommendation of the 6th Pay commission, that duties and responsibilities of secretariat services and that of field offices upto the level of Assistants are very well fulfilled. Thanks to the 6th Pay Commission to to make his recommendation to merge the pre revised pay scales of Rs.5000-8000/- ,Rs.5500-9000/- and Rs.6500-10500/-(Assistants and Office Superintendents) and to form a single GP and thereby down grading the Office Superintendents (Pay Scale of Rs.6500-10500/- has been taken out and granted GP of Rs.4600/- subsequently) . Wake up Office Superintendents and fight together for obtaining higher pay for higher responsibility. Make representations, approach the association people, make RTI queries etc. about this discrimination etc. or what ever the possible ways , to all concerned till you achieve the goal.
