Civil Service officers present memorandum to Dr Jitendra Singh on 7th CPC report
A delegation of Civil Service officers
representing the “Confederation of Civil Service Associations” called on
the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of
North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances,
Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh here and sought his
intervention for implementing the recommendations of the 7th Central
Pay Commission (CPC) report, so as to address their long standing
grievance of discrimination vis-a-vis certain other All-India Services.
In a memorandum presented to the
Minister yesterday, members of the delegation acknowledged that the 7th
CPC, while recommending the status-quo, had addressed their long pending
demand for “parity” with other services. But, the memorandum alleged
that the main cause of resentment among the non-IAS Civil Service
Officers was that all the senior level posts covering majority of
Departments, be it technical or administrative, are today manned by IAS
Officers, which is the main cause of grievance among the non-IAS Civil
Service Officers. The memorandum called for giving equitable treatment
to all the Services so that the gap between the IAS and other Services
does not widen and lead to, what they described as, chaotic situation.
The memorandum claimed that the majority
view in the 7th CPC was in favour of changing the status-quo on the
issue of pay disparity also. They said, at present, there is a clear
edge enjoyed by the IAS and Indian Foreign Service over other Services
in terms of additional increments.
The memorandum requested that disparity
in Pay may kindly be removed altogether. In addition, it also requested
that the new system of cadre restructuring be adopted and a
comprehensive cadre review may be undertaken by all Services so that
officers can get promoted in time.
The memorandum also requested that in
the Committee of Secretaries, appointed by the Government to examine the
report of the 7th CPC, such members should be appointed who represent
all different sections of stakeholders and may function with neutrality.
Dr Jitendra Singh gave the delegation a patient hearing and said that he will forward their case to the Union Finance Ministry.
