REMINDER
To,
The Secretary,
Department of
Expenditure,
North Block, New
Delhi.
Sub: Request for uniform/common formula for pay
benefits in r/o VIth as well as VIIth Pay Commission.
Sir,
Kindly refer to earlier letter Ref.
No. 139/AIB/P/18 Dt. 05.06.18 and 222/AIB/P/18 Dt. 21.08.18 of the Association.
2. It is to submit again with due
regards that the Pay Bands and Grade Pays were created replacing the pay scales
as a result of the implementation of the report of the VIth Central Pay
Commission. As a result of the implementation of the report of the VIIth
Central Pay Commission, the pay band/grade pay system was changed to pay
matrix/pay level system.
3. The formula to decide the pay
benefits for different categories of the employees was not uniform for the
implementation of the report of any of these Pay Commissions. No need to say
that the lower cadre officers were granted lower pay benefits and the higher
ones were granted the higher pay benefits but the formula for the fixation of
the pay for all categories was not uniform/common. This differentiation between
the pay formulae for fixation of their pays gave rise to the discrimination in
the greatest democracy of the world.
4. There was a great jump from PB3
to PB4 in comparison to the Pay Bands meant for the lower cadres when the
report of the VIth Pay Commission was implemented. Again fitment formula was
enhanced to 2.67 for Level-13 whereas it was kept merely 2.57 for lower levels
for the implementation of the report of the VIIth Pay Commission. Thus, the
gazetted officers of the level of Grade Pay of Rs. 8700/- (Level-13) and above
were not only benefited extraordinarily in the terms of the jump from PB3 to
PB4 (Level-12 to Level-13) but were also benefited in terms of the enhancement
of the fitment formula resulting in the discrimination to other lower cadres,
gazetted as well as non-gazetted.
5. In view of the above, it is
requested to look into the matter for the sake of uniform/common formula for
pay benefits for all employees in terms of the jump from one Pay Band/Grade
Pay/Pay Matrix/Pay Level to other as well as fitment formula regarding the
implementation of the reports of VIth as well as VIIth Pay Commission to give
the due justice to the lower cadres.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
