GS writes to Secretary (Posts) regarding Non implementation of MACP.

No. CHQ/IPASP/MACP/UTR/2012                                    Dated : 4/3/2013.

To,
Ms P. Gopinath,
Secretary (Posts),
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.

Sub: Non Implementation of Modified Assured Carrier Scheme for Inspector Posts /Asstt. Supdt. Posts Cadre in true spirit particularly in Uttarakhand Circle and others in General.

Respected Madam,

Kindly refer to this Associations letter of even number dated 10/12/2012 wherein justice being denied to our members due to non convening of DPC for grant of timely MACP by Circles particularly Uttarakhand Circle was brought to the notice of the then Secretary (Posts) but unfortunately no attention seems to have been paid at Directorate level towards above said letter. Resultantly the Circles are taking every communications from Circle Secretaries very lightly and no due consideration is bestowed to our genuine demands. The members are taken as granted every time and none of the demands has been settled in our favour.

Convening of timely DPCs and draw up panel for future vacancies is otherwise also obligatory on the part of administration and legitimate right of the employees as given in DOP&T’s OM No.35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19/5/2009, which interalia, provides that in order to prevent undue strain, the Screening Committee shall follow a time-schedule and meet twice in a financial year - preferably in the first week of January and first week of July of a year for advance processing of the all cases for grant of MACP maturing in that half. Directorate Memo No. 4-7(MACPS)/2009-PCC dated 18th September 2011 also refers.

It will be worth mentioning here that Uttarakhand Circle has not convened DPC for grant of 1st, 2nd or 3rd financial up-gradation to IP/ASPs fully till today though it was due in January 2011 and July 2011. Now you can well imagine the apathy of circles. Whereas, despite having clear instructions, in Uttarakhand Circle IPs/ASPs are made to suffer that results in considerable frustration amongst IPs/ASPs and this also adversely affect their morale.

Madam, department should realize that Inspector Post cadre is the most isolated and depressed cadre due to non Grant of Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- and now they are struggling even to get next Grade Pay under MACP. In case this is the level of justice being conferred to our members, it is not understood why department is expecting extra from the Inspector Posts (IP) cadre and all the schemes are virtually tried to devolve to this cadre for implementation. In case department intend to have cooperation from IP cadre the department should also take care of the demands of the cadre. In view of our genuine problems, it is once again requested that suitable instructions may kindly be passed to all Circles to complete pending MACP promotions immediately.

With Warm Regards,

Yours sincerely,
