                     Sub:- Finalization of the MMS Cadre Restructuring Committee  report-              

                              granting higher pay scale ratio to Master Crafts Man (MCM) 

                             MMS–Reg.

                

                    Ref:- Gazette Notification under No. G.S.R.552(E) to  CCS(RP) Rules, 2008         

                             and Directorate order No. 4-3/2009- PCC dt 05.01.2010,

Respected Madam,

                We beg to lay down the following few lines for favor of your kind perusal

 sympathetic consideration and favorable action please.                                                                                                       

               Master Craftsman in Department of Posts were granted Rs.4500-7000 pay scale by V CPC while in Railways and Defence, they were granted Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f. 1.1.1996..  The problem which cropped us with 5th CPC has been settled with the emergence of 6th CPC. MCM in the Department of Post were availing pay scales equivalent to Railway-MCM until 4th CPC.  But after the down of 5th CPC the equal pay scales has been ceased . After 5th CPC, the Dept. of Post-MCM received the pay range as Rs.4500-7000 , whereas Railways and Defence MCM received the pay range of Rs.5000-8000.

             Aggrieved by this, a demand was raised before the Govt. of India, and it was agreed to refer to the NAC to enhance the pay to PB-2 Rs.9300-34800 + 4200 Grade Pay. Accordingly, the Department of Posts, and the Department of Expenditure issued Gazette Notification by amending the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 during  july, 2009.

            The revised 4 graded structure on par with Railways was worked out-by Department of Post by distributing ratio between MCM, HS-I, HS-II of Skilled  as 0%, 15% & 15% and 70% respectively. The Department of Posts has granted the  revised  pay scale with effect from 1.1.2006 and also gave exemption for HS-I from Trade Test as one time relaxation.

           It is a matter great regret to note down here that the above order has not been implemented even after a lapse of 16 years. It is, therefore, requested that Hon’ble Secretary may intervene in this matter to get the clearance both from Ministry of Finance and Department of Posts and to issue necessary orders for implementation.

                                  Thanking You.

                                                                                                                     Yours sincerely
