Respected Sir,
1. I would like to invite your kind attention towards upgrading of pay band from Rs 4200 to Rs 6600 in PB 3 to General Manager, Departmental canteen working in ministry of Defence under the Administrative Instructions of DOP&T the same is requested on the basis of same rank same pay because the General Manager of Deptt. of space Banglore is getting band pay Rs 6600 in pay band- 3 wef 3rd CPC. It is therefore requested to save the goodwill of the apex post of canteen i.e. General Manager, hence he is controlling and managing the 22 to 57 staff of canteen , performing a job of Reporting Officer during the completion of ACRs of staff and their responsibility as Incharge of Canteen. The apex post of the General Manager in the hierachy of the Non Statutory canteen employees cadre will be filled now by promotion on the basis of 10 years experience and from the feeder grades of D. G. M., Manager Grade II, and Manager cum Accountant etc. after the commerce graduation as per the ammended model rules od DOP&T. Due to merger of pay scales by 6thCPC General Manager carrying the same grade pay as per their juniors- Manager Grade II , DGM and Accountant cum Manager of feeder grade i.e. Rs 4200 which is the cause of functional disturbance. Befor 6thCPC GM was in the scale of 5500-9000 and Manager Grade II & others were in 5000-8000 pay scales. This can be seen from the hierachical chart of canteen cadre post at para 3 of the Vth CPC, and as per SIU report of Dec 2004 when the feeder grades of D.G.M etc were upgraded to Rs 5000-8000 from Rs 4000-6000, then also consequently SIU D.O.P&T upgraded the pay scale of General Manager from Rs 5000-8000 to Rs 5500-9000, A similar situation has now taken place whereby the apex post of General Manager has been brought at par with the feeder grades i.e Manager gd II, D.G.M etc. This anomaly warrants reconsideration on lines of post Vth CPC upgradation order of D.O.P&T OM No. 13/10/2001-Dir(c) dated 22 Dec. 2004.
2.. Designation of Manager gd II should be replaced as Manager only because there is no post of Manager gd I in Departmental Canteen cadre of Ministry of Defence , Therefore the designation of Manager gd II in the absence of Manager gd I does not arise.
3. Please take on priority and include in the agenda of next meeting of conceren Committee and Cadre Review committee for Non Statutory Departmental Canteen Employees as deemed fit.
4. It is humbly requested to the Honourable Authority of 7th CPC, Authority ,the Honourable Authority of DOP&T and our Executive Members of National Council JCM to solve the issues as mentioned above and also mentioned in forwarded 10 copies to the 7thCPC for all AFHQ canteen cadre in a positive manner please.
Your favourable action in this matter will be highly obliged .
