    v.      Assistant Director (Agriculture/Soil) from GP 4600 to GP 5400 (PB-3)

    vi.      Lab Assistant from GP 2000 to GP 2800.

Analysis and Recommendations

Taking into consideration the essential educational qualification of BSc (Agriculture) and the hierarchical pattern in the cadre, the posts of Junior Agriculture Assistant/Junior Soil Conservation Assistant presently in PB-1, GP- 2400 are recommended to be upgraded and merged with the posts of Agriculture Assistant/Soil Conservation Assistant in the pay scale of PB-1, GP-2800. Since the posts above GP 2800 in the cadre are already placed in appropriate level, the demand for pay hike is not justified and status quo is recommended.

7th Pay Commission has recommended higher grade pay for Auditors.

Officers in accounts cadres to get higher grade pay – 7th CPC Recommendations

7th Pay Commission recommends higher grade pay for officers in organised accounts cadres from GP 4800 to GP 5400 PB-2.

Organised Accounts Staff

11.12.134 The demands made in respect of the organised accounts cadre of the Ministry of Defence by the Confederation of Defence Recognised Association are focused on two posts viz., Senior Auditors and Assistant Accounts Officers.

Senior Auditors

They have contended that Senior Auditor of organised Accounts cadres have traditionally been at par with Assistants and that the existing parity between them has been disturbed by the government upgrading the level of Assistant from GP 4200 to GP 4600, while Senior Auditors remains at GP 4200. To advance their case, they have stated that a job evaluation of the Audit staff of IA&AD and Assistants of CSS carried out by Administrative Staff College, Hyderabad at instance of III CPC, gave a higher job rating to Auditors than Assistants of CSS.

In 1984, the government bifurcated the Audit cadre of IA&AD into Auditors (20 percent) and Senior Auditors (80 percent) and granted the pay scale of Assistant of CSS to Senior Auditors. The IV CPC, had, after above consideration, taken the view that there should be broad parity in the pay scales of the staff in IA&AD and other accounts organisations. The recommendation  of  IV  CPC  was  accepted  by  the  government  and implemented  w.e.f. 01.01.1986 for audit and from 1 April, 1987 for accounts in case of IA&AD and other Accounts Departments and Senior Auditors have been given same pay scale of Assistant of CSS.

Analysis and Recommendations
The Commission, in Chapter 7.1, has already taken a view with regard to pay level of Assistants of CSS. The recommendation there in will settle the parities as have been sought to be established.

Assistant Accounts Officers

They have contended that the existing parity between Assistant Account Officer (AAO) of organised accounts cadre and Section Officers of CSS was disturbed by granting Non Functional upgradation to GP 5400 (PB-3) after four years of service to the latter. They have stated that in the original scheme of things, Section Officer(A)/ Assistant Accounts Officer of organised accounts were also included for non functional upgradation to GP 5400 (PB-3) after four years as evident from English release dated 14 August, 2008 of Press Information Bureau. Para 10 (v) of this English release reads “Government has continued the present position of granting Group `A’ scale to Group `B’ officers after 4 years of service and these officers would be placed in PB-3 instead of PB-2 recommended by the VI CPC. This would benefit Group `B’ officers of the Railways, Accounts Services, CSS, CSSS and DANICS and DANIPS.”

Analysis and Recommendations

The Commission notes that non-functional upgradation from GP 4800 to GP 5400 (PB-3), on completion of four years of service, has been accorded to a number of posts by the government in 2008 viz., Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar Islands Civil Service, Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar Islands Police Service, Officers of the Central Secretariat Service and those of Central Secretariat Stenographers Service as well as other similarly placed Headquarters Services. This has also been extended to Group `B’ Officers of the Departments of Posts and Revenue. While extending this benefit, officers in GP 4800, both in Headquarters and in the field formations of these two organisations have been covered. In 2015, this benefit was also extended to Section Officers in the Indian Coast Guard.

The Commission is therefore of the view that there is no justification for excluding officers in the organised accounting departments who are at GP 4800 from this dispensation. It therefore recommends that all officers in organised accounts cadres (in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, Defence Accounts Department, Indian Civil Accounts Organisation, Railways, Post and Telecommunications) who are in GP 4800 should be upgraded, on completion of four years’ service to GP 5400 (PB-2), viz., Pay level 9, in the pay matrix.

Assistant Archivists, presently in GP 4200 are being currently recruited through the Staff Selection Commission. They are the feeder cadre for Archivists who are in the GP 4600.

To advance their case they have stated that the entry level education qualification for the post is post-graduation and one year diploma in archival studies or two years experience of research in modern Indian History.

Analysis and Recommendations

The Commission notes that that Assistant Archivists are being currently recruited through the Staff Selection Commission. The ministry in its reply to the Commission have supported the demand of the Association of Indian Archivists and suggested a GP 4800 for Assistant Archivists which is slightly higher than the GP 4600 available for the Assistants of CSS. For the post of Archivists, the ministry has suggested GP 5400 (PB-3).

The Commission taking note of the demands made, reply of the ministry, the role of Archivists and the entry level qualifications recommends as under:

• The existing cadre of Assistant Archivists should be upgraded to GP 4600 from the existing GP 4200, and then placed at the appropriate level in the Pay Matrix.
• Accordingly, the Commission recommends upgradation in the pay for the cadre of Archivists to GP 4800 from the existing GP 4600. After upgradation, these employees should be placed at the appropriate level in the Pay Matrix.

To advance their case they have stated that they are professionals in conservation/preservation of records and have lower entry level pay scales than their counterparts in the National Museum. Similarly for the post of Micro-photographist and Scientific Officer a higher GP 5400 (PB-3) has been sought.

Analysis and Recommendations

The Commission notes that that Assistant Microphotographist and Assistant Chemist are being currently recruited through the Staff Selection Commission and their entry level qualification is graduation. They are the feeder cadre for Microphotographist and Scientific Officer respectively who are in the GP 4600. The essential qualifications for a Scientific Officer is post graduation/Bachelor of Engineering in paper technology with three years experience in research/teaching in a recognised educational institution etc.

The ministry in its reply to the Commission have endorsed the demand of the Association for revision to GP 4800 for the cadre of Assistant Microphotographist and Assistant Chemist. For Microphotographist/Scientific Officer the ministry has recommended GP 5400 (PB-2).

The Commission taking note of the entry level qualification of graduation does not recommend any upgradation in the pay of Assistant Microphotographist and Assistant Chemist.

The Commission is recommending upgradation in the pay for the post of Scientific Officer from the existing GP 4600 to GP 4800, and a non-functional upgrade to GP 5400 (PB-2) after four years. After upgradation, these employees should be placed at the appropriate level in the Pay Matrix.

Pay of Central Government Employees and Bank Employees after 7th Pay Commission Report

Pay of Central Government Employees and Bank Employees after 7th Pay Commission Report

Comparison of Pay of Central Government Employees and Bank Employees after 10th Bipartite Wage Settlement and 7th Pay Commission Recommendations

No doubt, careers in both Central Government as well as PSU Banks are much sought after among job aspirants. Then, which one is better among these two?

It would be an effort of comparing and apples and oranges if these two are set against each. Both these careers have different service conditions and have their own merits and demerits. While Bank Employees Pay and allowances are revised every five Years, Central Government Employees are due for pay revision every ten years.

However, salary at various levels in these sectors are being compared regularly. Prior to implementation of 10th Bipartite Settlement many bank unions and individuals from banks demanded for equating salary of bank employees with that of government employees. To justify their demand they had come up with a comparison of salary of Group C & D employees in PB-1 of Central Government Service and Sub-Staff in Banks. Like wise pay and allowances of a Graduate Assistant (clerical staff) and officers in both of these organisations were also compared.

The following tables provides those comparisons (Salary before implementation of 10th Bipartite wage Settlement)

MONTHLY SALARY OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT STAFF AND BANK STAFF (OTHER THAN OFFICERS) AS ON 01-08-2013

Present Position of Salary after implementation of 10th BPC for bank employees and release of 7th Pay Commission Report In May 2015, IBA accpted to grant overall 15% increase in pay slip component of bank employees with effect from November 2012 which will be valid for five years. Also, we have the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission in black and white now. 7CPC has proposed an increase of 14.29% in Basic Pay alone and overall increase in Pay and allowances will be 23.55% as per Finance Ministry official press release.


In this background we have attempted here to compare the revised pay and allowances of Bank Employees and 7CPC proposed pay and allowances of Central Government Employees.

It may please be kept mind that this exercise is merely an arithmetical comparison and the same do not advocate anything relating to conclusion that one is better than the other.  As we mentioned earlier, nature of work, service conditions and intrinsic benefits involved in respect of employees of these organisations are not comparable.

Transport Allowance	3,600 ***	870
Gross Monthly salary	68,676	44,975

 ** As 10th BPS was implemented with effect from 2012, Basic Pay of sub-staff, Clerical Staff and officer as on 2016 will be basic pay with four increments, which are calculated to be 10,535/-, 13,730/- and 27,620/- respectively.

*** HRA proposed by 7CPC for X,Y, and Z cateogory cities is 24%, 16% and 8% respectively. We have taken 16% in this case as most of Central Government Employees would be entitled for the same. Like wise, Transport Allowance rate for which most of PB-1 and PB-2 employees would be entitled to has been taken in to account.

Pay Revision for Kerala Government Employees would be implemented by February

Pay Revision for Kerala Government Employees would be implemented by February

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today told the state assembly that new pay scales for government employees would be implemented by January end or in February next.

Replying to a notice for an adjournment motion on the issue moved by CPI(M)-led LDF opposition, Chandy said the cabinet sub-committee, set up to study the 10th Pay Revision Commission report,had already considered the report two times.

The report was submitted in July last.

Government would not delay implementing salary revision, the chief minister said, adding, “UDF government would take employees into confidence before implementing the revision.”

Seeking notice for the motion, A K Balan (CPI-M) said UDF was trying to sabotage the recommendations by delaying it even though the report was submitted six months ago.

More than five lakh government employees and four lakh pensioners would benefit by the revision, he said.
