Juniors grade pay enhanced

VAIBHAV JAIN (Querist) 05 June 2012 This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir,

We are working in UPCL,Urja Bhawan, Dehradun as Assistant Accountant.
Our Scale of Pay as per 6th Pay Commission is 5200-20200 and Grade Pay is Rs 3000.
Recently in our Organisation the Data Entry Operators were demanding a cadre as they don't have one as yet. They initiated many correspondences with the Human Resource Department of UPCL and sought information through many mediums including RTI's.
There claims are under consideration in the Secretrait also and due to this their demands were placed in the 56th Board Meeting of UPCL in which their grade pay was enhanced from current Rs 2600 to Rs 3000, which is equivalent to the Grade pay of an Assistant Accountant in our department, whereas the responsibilities and the skills involved in the work of both are very contrasting and the post of Asst Accountant entails more skill and calls for higher accountability from all sections of the department.
The old scale of data entry operators was Rs 4200-100-6400 whereas the revised payscale is Rs 5200-20200.(Grade Pay 2600)revised Grade pay Rs 3000.
The old scale of Asst Accountants was Rs 4500-125-7500 whereas the revised payscale is Rs 5200-20200.(Grade Pay 3000)

In reference to the details cited above. we would kindly request your goodself to guide us in this regard as to whether we should also claim an enhanced grade pay which is Rs 4200 and what are the ways we can adopt to get our deserved grade pay.

Thanking you

Yours Sincerely

All Asst Accountants
UPCL, Dehradun.

Be wise, think positive. There is a great difference between the term "enhanced" and "under considertion."

Take up your case only after the cause arises. Let their claim be admitted first. If you start claiming the enhanced grade pay during the pendency of their claim, not only they will lose their case, but also you won't be able to get benefited.
