Postmaster Cadre - It is wise to ask 3 months time to give option Form ?...

Dear Postmasters...

Because of the Cadre restructure is nearing, It is wise to ask 3 months time as per the Central Civil services (Revised Pay rules) 2016 Para no 6(1) provisions by the Postmaster cadre officials especially Grade I postmaster cadre officials.

Reasons are as follows...

Reason 1 :

As per the para 'F' of cadre restructure order dated 27.05.2016, General line LSG posts are elevated to G.P Rs4200 from G.P Rs.2800.

In the same way, as per the "same work same pay concept" and "PM Cadre is carved out only from LSG posts, it is more or less confirmed that PM Cadre is gonna fixed with G.P Rs.4200/-.

But the question is when?

Fine these are the illustrations of two postmaster cadre officials......

A Postmaster cadre official, his basic pay is Rs.13810 is fixed with new pay rules w.e.f., 01.01.2016.

Another postmaster cadre official, and his basic pay also Rs.13810 is asked three months time.... Comparative study is as follows....

Fixing the new pay as on 01.01.16 Amount in Rupees		Asking three months time Amount in Rupees
Basic Pay as on 1.1.16	35900	Basic pay as on 1.1.16	13810
After increment 1.7.16	37000	After increment 1.7.16	14230
Within 3 months we could come to a conclusion about cadre restructure. After that, if G.P is elevated to Rs.4200 to PM Grade I then we could give New pay fixation on Subsequent increment 01.07.2017 (Within a year C.R shall be implemented) (No arrears and no pay upto 30.06.2016) Or not we could give pay fixation option from 01.01.2016 and we shall get arrears of six months. But we shall loss huge amount in basic pay.
After G.P is elevated to Rs.4200 in between 26.07.2016 to 30.06.2016 Next cell after Rs.37000 is 38100 Fixing in the Level 6 (G.P Rs.4200 Level) his new pay is	38700	In old pay structure his new pay is 14230 +1400 =15630 One notional increment 3%	16100 + DA 125% =36225
On 01.07.2017 his next pay	39900	After continuing old pay upto 30.06.2016. Switching over to new pay as on 01.07.2017	Old pay=16100 3% increment=490 Total = 16590 *2.57 fixing level 6 =44900
In basic pay itself Difference is Rs. 5000. Loss will occurred if option is given before cadre restructure i.e., 01.01.2016

 

Conclusions...

1. If necessary we could opt new pay from 01.01.2016 and we shall get arrears too within the 3 months time
2. Before cadre restructure if we opted new pay then it shall be the loss to the Postmaster cadre employees especially to the G.P From Rs.2800 to 4200 (i.e., Grade I officials)
3. In a long run, we shall regain the loss of arrears of 18 months within 2 years.
4. The above calculations are applicable to the MACP I to MACP II officials too.
5. Think wisely and decide with your own calculations.

All the best.
