ICAR Technical Cadre - Approval of New Designation

INDIAN COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
Krishi Bhawan, Dr.Rajendra Prasad Road, New Delhi - 110114

F.No.19 (20)/2011-Estt.IV

Dated 22nd July, 2013

OFFICE ORDER

The Technical Services were introduced in ICAR w.e.f. 1975. The Technical Services are grouped into three categories consisting of eight grades which are being denoted by their grade numbers viz. T-1, T-2, T-3..... T-7-8, T-9. The technical employees have been representing that they may be given suitable designations instead of the grade numbers such as T-1, T-2 etc.

The issue of giving suitable designations to the eight grades of Technical cadre viz. T-1 to T-9 was under consideration of the Council. It has now been decided with the approval of the Competent Authority that the following designations may be given to the technical employees of the Council:

Existing Grade	Existing pay band and pay scale in Rs.	Grade pay (Rs.)	New designation as approved by the Competent Authority
T-1	PB-1 5200-20200	2000	Technician
T-2	PB-1 5200-20200	2400	Sr.Technician
T-3	PB-1 5200-20200	2800	Technical Assistant
T-4	PB-2 9300-34800	4200	Sr.Technical Assistant
T-5	PB-2 9300-34800	4600	Technical Officer
T-6	PB-3 15600-39100	5400	Sr.Technical Officer
T-7-8	PB-3 15600-39100	6600	Assistant Chief Technical Officer
T-9	PB-3 15600-39100	7600	Chief Technical Officer

 For the purpose of identification of duties performed by different functionaries, designations of the person will be appropriately distinguished to reflect duties attached to the posts. For example, a post of Laboratory Technician in T-2 grade may be denoted as Sr.Technician(Lab Technician). The change of designation does not give any entitlement to any enhanced pay or perk. Further, this change shall also not entail any change in existing chain of command or basis for refusal to perform an assigned function.

Pensioners Portal Orders - Clarification on issue of Identity Cards to Central Government Pensioners

Pensioners Portal Orders - Clarification on issue of Identity Cards to Central Government Pensioners

 Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare has issued orders to clarify some doubts arising out of issuing identity cards to central pensioners. The Head of Departments, Pensioners Associations and the Individuals are also seeking clarifications from the nodal ministry regarding the procedure of issuing identity cards to retired Central Government employees under New Pension Scheme...

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub:- Issue of Identity Cards to Central Govt. Pensioners - reg.

The undersigned is directed to say that instructions were issued vide this Department OM No.41/21/2000 dated 16/11/2000 for issue of Identity Cards to Central Govt. Pensioners, These instructions have been reiterated vide this Department’s letter of even number dated 30th April, 2013.

2. Clarifications have been sought by various Departments / Associations / pensioners in regard to issue of Identity Card to Pensioners’. The matter has been examined and the position / clarifications are as under:

(i) Whether National Emblem or Ashoka Chakra is to be printed on Pensioners’ Identity Card to facilitate their entry into the Government Buildings.	The pensioners are retired servants. The Identity card only establishes the identity of the person and it does not confer any right on the pensioner to enter into a security zone. Therefore, it would not be necessary to have the National Emblem on their Identity Cards.
(ii) Whether Pensioners’ Identity Card can be issued to retired employees covered under NPS.	The concerned Ministries / Departments may issue Pensioners Identity Card (PIC) to retired NPS employees. A revised format for Pensioners’ Identity Card, for pensioners retiring under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules 1972 (or other corresponding rules) is at Annexure I. A format for Pensioners’ Identity Card for pensioners retiring under New Pension System is at Annexure II.
(iii) Issue of Pensioners’ Identity Card (PIC) to absorbee /pro rata pensioners.	Instructions issued by this Department cover only the retired/retiring Central Government employees. On permanent absorption in a PSU , the employee severe their connections with the Government and are treated as employees of the PSU in which they are absorbed. Such absorbees generally do not require frequent interaction with the Ministry / Department where they were working prior to their permanent absorption. Therefore there is no justification for issuing Identity Card to PSU absorbees.
(iv) Issue of Pensioners’ Identity Card to Retired All India Service Officers.	The pensioners’ Identity Card is issued by the Department in which the employee last worked. Therefore, in the case of IAS officer retiring while on Central deputation, the Identity Card may be issued by concerned Ministry / Department. In case of officer retiring from State Government, the Identity Card may be issued by the concerned State Government.
