Subject: - Removal of anomaly in grade pay arisen in PAO, CRPF
after amalgamation of the office in the Civil Accounts Organisation.
Madam,
I have been directed to invite your kind attention to the
Principal Accounts Office, Ministry of Home Affairs letter No. 200/13-C/Admn
/MHA/2016-17/9034-35 dated 03-11-2016 on the above mentioned subject forwarded
under your office letter No.A-11019/25/2011/MF.CGA(A)/NGE/AICAEA-HQ/384 dated
21-11-2016. On examining the contents of the said letter, we have observed that,
by not allowing the grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- to the erstwhile Inspectors
(Ministerial) of Pay and Accounts Office, CRPF, New Delhi who were encadered in
to CCAs cadres as Senior Accountants, the Principal Accounts Office, Ministry
of Home Affairs has in fact denied one of the benefits of MACPs to this
category of employees now working as Senior Accountants.
The encadrement in PAO, CRPF, New Delhi was done in
public interest in pursuance of the
decision taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India and circulated
vide CCA, Ministry of Home Affairs vide Office Memorandum No. 45024/7/2009-Pers
II dated 12-10-2009.
The matter of anomaly is that, the erstwhile Inspectors (Ministerial)
who were drawing the grade pay of Rs.4600/- till the date of their encadrement as
Sr. Accountant had been denied this grade pay and were placed in the Grade Pay
of Rs.4200/- from the date of their encadrement with the condition that the
difference in their grade pay would be paid as personal pay to them and it
would to be absorbed in future increments- which was not permissible under CCS
(RP) Rules, 2006.
On the other hand, their juniors in the rank of
Sub-inspectors who were granted the benefit of II MACP by their previous
employer i.e. authorities of CRPF were allowed to continue with the Grade Pay
of Rs. 4600/- even after their encadrement as Sr. Accountants.
As such, the Senior Accountants who were erstwhile Sub
Inspectors are getting three financial upgradations, first to the grade pay of Rs:-
4200, second to the Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- and third to the grade pay of Rs.
4800/- while their seniors who were erstwhile
Inspectors (Ministerial) are reaching the to the grade pay of Rs. 4600/- on
completion of thirty years of service.
Erstwhile Inspectors (Ministerial) in the CRPF had entered into
the Government service in the posts of ASI (Ministerial) in the Pay Scale of Rs.
4000-100-6000(as per 5th CPC) and in the Grade Pay of Rs. 2800/-(as
per 6th CPC). Therefore, in
terms of the DOPT orders No. 35024/7/2009-Estt. (D) dated 19/05/2008, three
financial upgradations under MACPs for this category of employee shall be as
under-
1. First upgradation to the Grade
Pay of Rs. 4200/- on completion of ten years.
2. Second upgradation to the Grade
Pay of Rs. 4600/- on completion of twenty years.
3. Third upgradation to the Grade Pay
of Rs. 4800/- on completion of thirty years.
The provisions of the DOPT orders dated
04.10.2012 on MACP quoted in the para (iv) of the Principal Accounts Office,
Ministry of Home Affairs office letter No. 200/13-C/Admn /MHA/2016-17/9034-35
dated 03-11-2016 deals with the cases of
inter departmental transfers including unilateral transfer cases. Whereas
the O. M. No. 200/61/CRPF/Pr.AO/MHA/2010-11 dated 14th March 2011
issued by the office of the Chief Controller of Accounts Ministry of Home
Affairs in pursuance of the Ministry of Home Affairs Office Memorandum No.
45024/7/2009-Pers II dated 12-10-2009 conveyed that the Pay and Accounts
Office, CRPF shall form the part of the Civil Accounts Organisation and
officials working in the Pay and Accounts Office, CRPF shall be absorbed/
inducted(not transferred) in to the Civil Accounts Organisation in the interest
of service and their pay band grade pay shall be adjusted. Hence, transfers
from one department to another department and lateral induction/absorption due
to amalgamation of the departments are two different conditions and the
provisions of MACP quoted by Principal Accounts Office, Ministry of Home
Affairs are not applicable here.
Therefore, the Senior Accountants and
erstwhile Inspectors (Ministerial) of PAO, CRPF who have been denied one of the
MACPs benefits may kindly be allowed the Grade Pay of Rs. 46OO/- A as II
MACP so that they are ensured three financial upgradations under MACP s .
An early favourable decision in this
respect shall be highly appreciable.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
(V.Bhattacharjee)
Secretary General
