Subject: Promotion to the post of Supervisor (NT) from Leading Fireman: Norms Relaxation in OFB.

Respected Sir,
With due regards, your attention is invited to the Agenda Point No. 63 raised by this federation BPMS in the Steering Committee meeting for the 90th Departmental Council (JCM) (MoD) held on 27.09.2013 {Refer MoD F.No. 5(2)/2013/D(JCM), Dated 24.09.2013}. This federation submitted that Hon’ble CAT/Principal Bench, New Delhi in OA No. 1396 of 2008 Shri M.R.Meena Vs Union of India has ordered that parity should be maintained between Leading Hand Fire with other feeder grades (viz. LDC, Photographer, Telephone Operator II & Subedar Durwan) for the promotion to the post of Supervisor (Non Technical).
According to existing SRO 30, dated 14.07.2010, Ministry of Defence, Ordnance Factories, Supervisor (Non-Technical) and Telephone Operator Grade II Group C Posts Recruitment Rules, 2010, 50% vacant posts of Supervisor (Non-Tech) will be filled up by promotion from Photographer, Telephone Operator Grade-II, Subedar Durwan and Leading Hand Fire. This fifty per cent post of Supervisor (NT) may be filled up by 64% from the Leading Hand Fires in the Pay Band I Rs. (5200 to 20200) plus Grade Pay of Rs. 2000/- with five years of regular service in the grade and possessing any of the following qualification:

(a) having passed the Senior Fire Supervisory Course from Defence Institute of Fire Research, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi; or
(b) having passed the Sub Officer's Course from National Fire Service College, Nagpur or any other recognized institute; or
(c) having passed Station Officer's Course or Assistant Divisional Officer's or Divisional Officer's Course from National Fire Service College, Nagpur or any other recognized institute;
or
(d) Degree in Fire Engineering from Nagpur University or any other recognized institute; or
(e) having passed Graduateship from Institute of Fire Engineers United Kingdom or Graduateship from Institute of Fire Engineers India

It is to be noted that this fifty per cent post will be be filled up by 17% from amongst Telephone Operators in the Pay Band I Rs. (5200 to 20200) plus GP Rs. 1900/- with 08 years regular service; 12% from Subedar Durwan in the Pay band of Rs. (4400 to 7440) plus GP Rs. 1600/- with 14 years regular service in the grade; 7% from Photographer in the Pay band I Rs. (5200 to 20200) plus GP Rs. 1900/- with 08 years regular service. From above it is seen that Leading Hand Fire should have more qualification in comparison to the other feeder categories for Supervisor (NT) whereas all the incumbents have to perform the same responsibility with the same Grade Pay, i.e. Rs. 2400/- (Pre Revised Rs. 4000 to 6000).

It is to be kept in the mind that Vide Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) Notification G.S.R. 622(E), dated 29.08.2008 CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 has been introduced and the First Schedule Part-B, Section II states that Station Officer’s pay scale Rs. (4000 to 6000) (Fire Fighting Staff) has been upgraded to Rs. (4500 to 7000) and revised to GP Rs. 2800/-, whereas Supervisor (NT) is being granted the GP Rs. 2400/- on promotion from the post of Leading Hand Fire. Thus, the provisions of SRO 30 have not been framed considering the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 as the qualification of only one of the feeder posts Leading Hand Fire has been enhanced but the Grade Pay of promotional post Supervisor (NT) for Fire Fighting Staff has not been enhanced to Rs. 2800/-

In this regards, comments offered by D(Estt./NG) is enclosed for your ready reference. Therefore, your attention is invited to Rule 6 of SRO 30 which empowers the Central Government to relax the provisions of these rules to any class or category of persons and you are requested to take appropriate action so that existing Leading Hand Fire incumbents who are not fulfilling the requisite qualification may also be promoted to the post of Supervisor (NT) by granting relaxation in qualification as mentioned here in above.

Thanking you.

Sincerely yours

(MUKESH SINGH)
Secretary/BPMS &
Member, JCM-II Level Council (MOD)

QUALIFYING SERVICE FOR PROMOTION

QUALIFYING SERVICE FOR PROMOTION

Eligibility for promotion : – It is necessary to fix suitable standards for promotion from one grade to another, including minimum length of service in the lower grade. As far as possible, the minimum length of service in the lower grade prescribed as a condition for promotion to the higher grade should not markedly be different from that prescribed by other Departments for promotion to similar grades involving the same nature of duties and responsibilities.

 

The qualifying service for promotion from one grade to another is necessary so that there is no premature promotion or undue jump in pay and also to ensure that the officer has sufficient opportunity to demonstrate his competence/potential for holding the higher post. The period of qualifying service varies from post to post depending upon the scale of pay and the experience, required for manning the higher post. Broadly, the following qualifying service for promotion from one grade to another may be followed:

Granting of Financial Upgradation under MACP Scheme - Clarification reg.

Granting of Financial Upgradation under MACP Scheme - Clarification reg.

Southern Railway issued a clarification order on MACP Scheme regarding the terms used "In same Grade Pay" and "Normal Promotion".

SOUTHERN RAILWAY

No.P(R)535/P/MACPS/Vol.III

Headquarters Office
Personnel Branch
Chennai – 600003
Dated: 20-05-2013
PBC No: 54/2013

All PHODs / DRMs / CWMs / CEWE / CAO / CPM / Dy.CPOs / Sr.DPOs / DPOs / SPOs / WPOs / APOs if HQ / Dvisions / Workshops / other Units, etc., (As per mailing list – ‘A’)

Sub: Granting of Financial Upgradation under MACP Scheme — Clarification reg.

Ref : Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 13-12-2012 (RBE No. 142 / 2012, PBC No. 189 / 2012).

Consequent to issue of Railway Board’s letter dated 13-12-2012 (RBE No. 142 / 2012), many doubts have been raised from various quarters as to how the the clarification given is to be followed.

In terms of the above cited letter, an employee holding feeder post in a cadre where promotional post is in the same Grade Pay, financial upgradation under ACP / MACP scheme cannot be to a higher Grade Pay than what can be allowed to an employee on his normal promotion and would be granted the same Grade Pay. The doubts were with regard to the terms used i.e., "In same Grade Pay" and "Normal Promotion".

As clarified by Board, the following clarifications are given citing certain examples :

(a)A Sr. Clerk on direct recruitment with GP Rs. 2800/- having earned two promotions to GP Rs. 4200/- and Rs.4600/- is entitled to be considered for 3rd Financial Upgradation to GP Rs. 4800/- under MACP Scheme subject to fulfilling other terms and conditions relating to the scheme.

(b)A Technical supervisor on direct recruitment with GP Rs. 4200/- having earned one promotion to GP Rs. 4600/- is entitled to be considered for grant of 2nd and 3rd Financial Upgradation to GP Rs. 4800/- and GP Rs. 5400/- of PB 2 respectively under MACP Scheme subject to fulfilment of terms and conditions relating to the scheme.

(c)A Sr.Section Engineer on direct recruitment with GP Rs. 4600/- is entitled to be considered for grant of 1st, 2nd & 3rd Financial Upgradation to GP Rs. 4800/- in PB 2, GP Rs. 5400/- in PB-2, and GP Rs. 5400/- in PB-3 respectively under MACP Scheme subject to fulfilment of terms and conditions relating to the scheme.

(d) A Chief Matron with GP Rs. 5400/- in PB-2 is entitled to be considered for Financial Upgradation under MACPS to the same GP Rs. 5400/- in PB-3, as per terms contained in Para 8.1 of Annexure to Board’s letter dt. 10-06-2009 (RBE No. 101 /2009, PBC No. 112/2009)

(e) A Staff Nurse directly recruited with GP Rs. 4600/- is entitled to be considered for 3rd Financial Upgradation under MACP scheme to GP of Rs. 5400/- in PB-3 after earning two Promotion / Financial Upgradation to GP Rs. 4800/- and Rs. 5400/- in PB-2, subject to fulfilment of terms and conditions relating to the scheme.

It has been further clarified that 3 % increment as Pay Fixation in respect of employees who are granted Financial Upgradation to the same Grade Pay is to be allowed or not, (since as per RS(PR) Rules 2008 it is still not allowed) is under consideration in consultation with Ministry of Finance. Hence, for example a Sr. Technician on promotion / Financial Upgradation granted same Grade Pay, or when Goods Driver promoted / granted Financial Upgradation under MACP to the same Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/-, the pay fixation is under consideration and yet to be clarified.

The cases decided otherwise than as clarified above may be reviewed and action taken accordingly.

This is issued with the approval of CPO/MAS.
