This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I was working in BSNL as TTA( Non-executive post) since 2002. In year 2008, I applied for JTO POST( Executive post) in OPEN COMPETITIVE EXAM through PROPER CHANNEL and cleared and joined that post in 2009 after submitting TECHNICAL RESIGNATION. Since PSUs pay revision took place in the year 2009,NON-EXECUTIVES were given the following options to choose for their pay revision-
1. They can choose pay revision from 1.1.2007
2. They can choose from the DATE OF PROMOTION
3. From the date of next increment
Since i got promoted to JTO, I opted the revision from DATE OF PROMOTION in which i should get 30% fitment on JTO's initial basic. But, our Organisation refused to give that scale as I had cleared the OPEN COMPETITIVE EXAM. My colleagues who had cleared the DEPARTMENTAL EXAM in the same period are getting the benefit of SECOND OPTION. Their basic is approx. 2000 Rs. more than me. Since, i had given TECHNICAL RESIGNATION,am I not eligible for the SECOND OPTION??? I got all other service benefits like salary during my JTO training, old service book and leaves were carried forwardexcept THIS PAY REVISION FROM THE DATE OF MY PROMOTION. Kindly clarify my query.
Thanks

You were working as TTA, which is a non-Executive post.
For non-executives, there was wage negotiation with the Recognised Union and revised pay scale w.e.f. 1.1.2007 was granted allowing 30% fitment benefit. You were enjoying the said benefit from 1.1.2007 till such time you were promoted to the post of JTO.
The JTO is an Executive Post. For those posts the Revised pay scale has been announced as per the guidelines of DPE.
The 30% fitment benefit in the JTO post would be available only to those who were working as JTOs in the pre-revised pay as on 31.12.2006.
Whoever, comes to the JTO post on or after 1.1.2007 will straight away come to the revised pay scale. No fitment benefit (i.e. 30% will be given). However, on promotion from the post of TTA to JTO the pay in the JTO post will be fixed with reference to the pay drawn by you in TTA post. It will be as per FR-22(I)(a)(i) i.e. one increment in TTA post and if there is equivalent stage in JTO your pay will be fixed in that stage, if not your pay will be fixed at the immediate next state. That's all.

Thanks for the reply sir,
But there was an option of getting the revised pay scale from the date of promotion. And the persons who got promotion during that period are enjoying the benefit of 30% fitment.
