Dear members,
On 13.01.2015, 7th CPC has granted time for NDGBGOA and NDNGSA at 1550 hrs at The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel, Kolkata. On behalf of NDGBGOA General Secretary and Organising Secretary was presenting in front of 7th Cpc team. Honorable justice A.K. Mathur along with secretary Madam Meena Agarwal and Vivek Rae (Member for Defence) other members of CPC were present.
Presentation was started by NDNGSA and followed by NDGBGOA. General Secretary/NDNGSA presented that Chargeman/Junior Engineer should be upgraded to the grade pay of 4600 as MCM which is the feeder CADRE are in same grade pay of 4200. Vivek Rae asked how both the CADRE were kept in same grade pay. General Secretary NDNGSA expressed that it was decided by a first track committee in the year 2010 after implementation of 6th cpc. Again Sri V.Rae asked about the educational qualification of Direct Recruited CM. GS/NDNGSA replied that minimum qualification is Diploma but most of Direct Recruited Chargeman are having qualification of Degree in Engineering. Treasurer NDNGSA expressed that many employees from feeder cadres are reluctant to take promotion to the post of CM,as they are losing financial benefit of incentive and Risk allowance. Therefore incentive and Risk allowance should be considered up to Supervisor level in Ordnance Factories. Honorable Chairman 7th cpc accepted the demand of NDNGSA.
General Secretary, NDGBGOA began his presentation to honorable CHAIRMAN and Secretary by showing the pyramid structure of the organisation in which it was highlighted that for 7694 number of JWM CADRE there is only 188 of JTS promotional post by which next promotion of JWM takes more than 15 years.If a person with diploma or degree engineer joined in CM CADRE in the grade pay of 4200 then he has to retire as JWM at the Grade Pay of 4600 or with a MACP at the grade pay of 4800. In the total service period one group B cadre can earn maximum 600 Rupees in grade pay benefit.Moreover the employees like Hindi officer, matron, those were in 6500- 10500 in the 5 th CPC were upgraded in the pay band III and grade pay of 5400 but the JWM at the 7450-11500 were kept at 4600 GP.This indicates that this gazetted CADRE was degraded in the 6 th CPC.
Honorable Chairman 7 th CPC Justice A.K.Mathur could understand the deprived position of JWMs by seeing the promotion Channel(Diagram) shown by GS/NDGBGOA. The Chairman,7th CPC expressed that there is a real injustice to the JWM CADRE and this CADRE is compressed in the organisation without any promotional avenue. He has expressed that 7 th CPC will take care of this CADRE and categorically told that we will remove this Grade Pay system.
Organising Secretary/NDGBGOA presented the UPSC advertisement(2013 Advt.) to Madam Meena Agarwal(Secretary 7th CPC) and told that both JWM and AWM/JTS are appointed in Ordnance Organisation through UPSC with same qualification of Degree in Engineering. While JWMs at the grade pay of 4600 retain in the same cadre for more than 13 years, one DR AWM/JTS used to promoted up to JAG in 8700 Grade Pay in PB-4 within 13 year. One Direct Recruited JWM has to loss more than 13 years of his carrier without any promotional aspect which is demoralizing the CADRE.
The justification was accepted by Honorable Chairman and Secretary of 7 th CPC and assured to short out the anamolies which was occured by 6th CPC.
General Secretary kept his view that our Group B Gazette CADRE has been denied for all the allowances like PlB,Incentive,Risk Allowances by which the gross salary are becoming very less as compared to our subordinate.In Ordnance Factories getting promotion in group B cadre implies in financial loss. Therefore we should be granted with all these allowances.
GS asked for industrial allowances for ORDNANCE FACTORIES employees as it works as per factory act with 6 days working pattern.
In this regard honorable CHAIRMAN replied that this should be taken up by the department.
Finally General Secretary requested 7th CPC for considering JWM and PS CADRE at 5400 Grade pay in PB III and International LTC for all the Govt. EMPLOYEES.
While thanking to all the members of 7 th CPC for granting more time General Secretary requested the Honorable CHAIRMAN to granting a meeting with association at New Delhi Office and it was accepted by honorable CHAIRMAN and Secretary of 7th CPC.
This is for the information to all the members.
JAIGOPAL SINGH
