As
you all are aware that the above matter is pending due to finalization of
seniority list.
3. Cadre
Review of Chargeman and JWMs :
OFB has already send the proposal to
create a post of JWM (SG) in the G.P. Rs 5400 (PB-2).
In continuation of the above the OFB
send an another new proposal for JWM to the MoD for approval as under

5400 (PB-2) for 2746 post

Apart from the
above condition it is further intimated that 165 (approx) post of JWM has to be
surrendered in acceptance of above proposal and it is pending with MOD at
present.
In addition to above this issue and query was raised
during the CE meeting held on 5th March-14 at Bhishma Club, HVF
Estate Avadi, Chennai regarding the action & opinion of CEHQ/AIANGOs. In
this regard it is to inform that the views & opinion of AIANGOs in this
matter is very clear as briefed by GS during the above meeting and we are
submitting the subject proposal very soon to OFB.
4. Recruitment of Chargeman :
During the JCM-III meeting the OFB official stated that all the
hurdles in this matter are resolved and the tender opening for service agency
will be done by 28th Feb/2014. After finalization of service agency
for recruitment process the further action will be taken accordingly.
6. Corrective
action on anomaly in promotion for CM-NT (OTS) & OS to JWM-NT(OTS) :

As
per the chart shown above its seems that the ratio of Tech & Non-Tech as
demanded by AIANGOs at par, and also assured by OFB to maintain parity with
them equal to 40% (Tech) is not seen any where it is still 30%.
Therefore the association is not
convinced with the above proposal and I, again raised the issue on behalf of
AIANGOs for equal ratio of T&NT.
7. SRO of CM-T/NT :
AIANGOs
proposed for the qualification of LDCE Chargeman to be incorporated
in SRO of Chargeman, that the Diploma obtained through an institute/university
duly approved/recognized by UGC/MHRD/DEC/IGNOU/AICTE or any other establishment
of Government of India empowered to grant such approval/ recognition.
In addition to above AIANGOs insisted that the Distance
Education needs to be considered as the employees cannot acquire qualification
through full time Diploma, because employees working in remote areas do not
have any facility near to them. Further acquiring Diploma/Degree is only
eligibility criteria for selection & final selection will be done after
qualifying all requisite test. Therefore, the Diploma/Degree obtained through
distance education should be considered eligible for appearing to Chargeman post
through LDCE Quota both for Tech and Non-Tech.
Chairman
while replying said that, on this distance education issue we need to take a
longer view and settle the matter at the earliest.
8.

OFB. All CPC Committee Members (OFB) and two Office Bearers of each federations

of cadre vide OFB letter No. 07/09/12-A/HRD Dated: 14-02-2014 after rigorous
efforts & unity of AIANGOs.
11. Escort duty related grievances
with specific reference to chemical & explosive factories
Issue was discussed
in detail for implementation the decision for granting of OT & submission
of self certified bills for food during Escort journey duty at the road side
hotels of the Escorters. However the present status is as follows: for granting
OT on escort duty is under examination by OFB finance and so for self certified
bills for food during Escort journey is concern, the rep. of PCofA stated that
this issue solved by our end shortly.
However the OF Chanda
Branch of AIANGOs has already filled a suite at Mumbai CAT (Nagpur Bench) for
not deputing of Chargeman cadre on escort duty, which is fully supported by
AIANGOs, the final decision is still awaited.

13. Framing of recruitment
rules for the post of Master Craftsman (MCM) and Chargeman both in the same grade pay of Rs.
4200 – Proposed by MoD
With
reference to the MoD proposal vide MoD letter ID No. 11(5)/2009-D(Civ-I) Dated:
23rd January 2014 in respect of framing recruitment rules for the post of Master Craftsman (MCM) and Chargeman
both in the same grade pay of Rs. 4200. The AIANGOs disagree with the MoD
proposal and mentioned the following
proposals for further processing –
Since the percentage strength of JWM (T)and Chargeman (T) is
as
follows :
Sl.
|
Name of the Post
|
Existing
ratio
|
Operating
Strength
|
1
|
JWM (Tech.)
|
40%
|
6911
|
2
|
Chargeman (Tech.)
|
60%
|
10320
|
In view of the above existing
ratio & strength of JWM-T (6911), CM-T (10320) & MCM (12675) = 29906.
The 40% of the above strength including all cadre will be 11962 which
strength to be sanctioned for the post of JWM(T). Where as the existing JWM(T)
sanction post is 6911, which is less 5051 than the present sanction post of
JWM(T) and further will be required for sanction.
In view of the above explained
scenario it is further proposed that the
entry level of MCM & Chargeman (T&NT) is GP-4200 however the
responsibility is quite deferent as the MCM is working under the control of
Chargeman, who is the line in charge of that group bearing all the higher
responsibility of his group on behalf of HOS. Therefore keeping view of the
higher responsibility of the Chargeman in comparison to MCM, the Chargeman should be granted GP Rs. 4600/- and it should
be ensure that MCM next promotion will be in Chargeman with GP Rs. 4600.
During the discussion in large the official side fully supported the
subject proposal of AIANGOs. There after the DGOF & Chairman-OFB added that
we may also take views of all GMs/Sr. GMs in this matter.
14. Fixation of pay on promotion to a post ( MCM to CM, CM-II
to CM-I, AF to JWM) carrying higher duties
and Responsibilities but carrying the same grade pay.
There
is an order of pay fixation of pay on promotion to a post carrying
higher duties and Responsibilities but carrying
the same grade pay by the Ministry of Finance on Dt: 7.01.2013 which was
reproduced by the OFB. It is understood that the clause of this letter is
neither accepted by PCofA, nor any further action taken by OFB end in this
regard. However there is CAT Banglore Bench vide its original Application No.
407/2009 Dt 11th April 2011 given decision in favor of the
applicants. During the discussion the copy of the decision of CAT Banglore
Bench was produced by AIANGOs. Taking in view of the above decision the OFB
officials expressed that after going through the decision this issue may be
consider.
However the AIANGOs authorized the RFI
Branch of AIANGOs for advanced preparation of court case on the subject. The note portion leading to issue of Ministry
of Finance (Department of Expenditure) OM No. 10/02/2011-E.III-A dated:
7.01.2013 was asked & received by RFI branch of AIANGOs through RTI.
15. MACP in the hierarchy of Post in light of
CAT Chandigarh, High Court Chandigarh, Principal CAT New Delhi judgments and
rejection of SLP by Supreme Court.
During
discussion OFB expressed that we have send letters to DOP&T in the light of
above decision for their further guidelines.
In
addition to the above stated circumstances, IOFGOA had also filled a suite
before CAT principal bench on the above subject.
16. JWM
