Sub: Stepping up of pay of seniors, if junior is
drawing more pay on account of ACP/MACP upgradation/s.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 76/M/13 Dt. 01.05.13 of the Association as well as letter
F.No. A-23011/06/2011/Ad.IIA Dt. 26.06.13 of the CBEC.
2. It
is submitted with due regards that the clarification has been issued
incompletely quoting some CAT judgements but ignoring the verdict given by the
Hon’ble Apex Court. The issue of stepping up of pay
regarding ACPS has been linked to pay revision of 2004 instead of issuing a
general & complete clarification based on Supreme Court verdict dt. 02.05.11 in SLP(C) No. CC 7278/11. The issue has been settled finally by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court vide the said verdict granting the benefit of
stepping up of the pay to seniors, if
junior is drawing more pay on account of ACP/MACP upgradation/s.
3.
If a complete & exhaustive clarification is not issued based on Supreme Court verdict, many of our senior officers
particularly entered into the job through Ministerial cadre will suffer with
recurring loss due to the inaction of the concerned section on the issue. It is really not understood why the general
clarification can’t be issued based on the verdict of the Apex Court, if it is
conveniently issued based on CAT verdicts.
4.
In view of the above, it is requested that the much awaited general
clarification may also kindly be issued on the issue at an early date based on
the verdict given by the Hon’ble Apex Court.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
