CHQ LR NO: AISBCEU/7TH CPC REPORT VIEWS/51-2015 DATED: 05.12.2015
TO
SRI.ARUN MALIK
DIRECTOR [SR&LEGAL]
Department of Post
Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110001
Sir,
Subject:  Notice for Meeting with Representatives of recognized non affiliated Service Associations/Unions and recognized Associations/unions to  discuss the issues relating to the recommendations of the Seventh  Pay Commission.

Ref: Dte. Lr.No. 06/04/2015-SR Dated: 02.12.2015
      The comments of the 7th CPC report is brought by AISBCE Union to your kind information with the following changes/suggestions required.
PARA
7TH CPC RECOMMENDATIONS
CHANGES/SUGGESTIONS REQUIRED
5.1.27
Fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees
The fitment factor must be allowed as given in Pay Matrix table-5  according to their previous Pay Band to maintain their status of the employee  instead of 2.57 for all employees
Pay Band  I    – 3.00
Pay Band II    – 3.05
Pay Band III   – 3.10
5.1.45 & 46
The Commission recommends that this benchmark, in the interest of improving performance level, be enhanced from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good.
The Commission is therefore proposing
withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.
It may be considered to the cadre other than Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ employees
8.7.15
HRA should be rationalized to 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the Basic Pay for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively.
The HRA for the cities ‘Z’ may be considered as 10% instead of 8%, since almost the rent applicable to ‘Y’ cities is the same to ‘Z’ cities
8.17.51
Fixed Medical Allowance to Pensioners -300 Revised to Rs.500/= w.e.f.19.11.2014
The existing amount of Rs.300/= has to multiplied by 3.00= rounded as Rs.900/= in view of their old age medical expenses
8.17.53
Funeral Allowance
Must be continued
9.1.4
Advance for Medical/LTC
Must be continued. These advances should not be included in the list of interest free advances. Eventually abolishing these advances will make the central government employees not to avail LTC facility and medical treatment in Private hospital, since the amount of 90 % of the expenses paid in advance will not be available for them any more due to this recommendation. By availing this advances they were able to manage the Medical Expenses and by availing this advance only they were able to by Air or Train Tickets to go on LTC.
Without these advances, the Group C and B employees cannot imagine availing of LTC to visit some places in India with their family. The Central Government should not accept the proposal of Abolishing these advances..
10.1.27
The minimum pension based on the recommendations of this Commission will
increase by 2.57 times over the existing level
It must be increased as given in Pay Matrix table-5  according to their previous Pay Band grade pay stage  to maintain their status of the pensioner  instead of 2.57 for all pensioners
Pay Band  I    – 3.00
Pay Band II    – 3.05
Pay Band III   – 3.10
11.8.26
SBCO cadre staff have demanded an increase in the entry grade pay of Postal Assistants (SBCO) from GP 2400 to GP 4200, on the grounds that their duties are such that they cannot be equated with postal assistants in postal circles but more pertinently with audit staff
The SBCO [Savings bank Control Organization] wing is one of the separate identity cadre in the Department of Post to attend the audit function of Postal Savings Bank transactions.
           The P&T board decided in 1960 to take over the SB control work from the A.G P&T and abolish the duplicate ledger card system maintained in branch Audit office. The approval of the A.G, P&T, C.A.G and Ministry of Finance was also obtained. Initially, the scheme was started w.e.f.1.1.1961 and then extends in all office w.e.f.01.10.1965. As such, our parent cadre is Postal Audit and even after bifurcation from audit office, still we are doing the auditing work as a separate group with separate identity called as SBCO cadre in all Head Post Offices. This cadre should be identified as a separate “Audit wing”  for the POSB transactions.
11.8.27
The Commission has noted that the stipulated entry level qualification and recruitment process of Postal Assistants (SBCO) is similar to that of direct recruit Postal Assistants in the Postal Assistants’ cadre and their promotional channel is also identical. The Commission is therefore of the view that no upgradation is warranted
The both basic cadre was with the strength of  LDC [20%]/UDC [80%] and also the qualification for UDC is Graduation. Later date, both LDC/UDC post were merged and it is called as PA, SBCO. The recruitment procedure and entry level qualification was recently changed. 
In SBCO, pre 1983 the pay scale of LSG Supervisor post 425-15-500-15-560-20-700 equivalent to IPO scale, but the scale of LSG Supervisor in Post side 425-15-560-20-640.
In the recent CBS implementation, our role is defined as Auditor for controlling the daily Savings Bank Transactions
Even though, our cadre is not considered as Organized cadre by the 7th CPC due to the entry level qualification is same for Postal assistant, our SBCO wing gas to be identified as Audit wing which is part of DAP office and their designation has to be changed as given below
PA [SBCO]                              -     AUDITOR
PA [SBCO]  -MACP -I            -   SENIOR AUDITOR  
PA [SBCO]  -MACP -II        - DY. SENIOR AUDITOR
PA [SBCO]  -MACP –III     - CHIEF AUDITOR
LSG SUPERVISOR     -  ACCOUNTANT
HSG-II SUPERVISOR  -  SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
HSG-I  SUPERVISOR  -  CHIEF  ACCOUNTANT         
                                                                                                                                                                    
        The above comments and suggestions of our Union may please be considered.
                                                                 
        With regards.
                                                                                                                        Yours faithfully,
  [ P.A.MHATRE, GENERAL SECRETARY]
