I was working as a Jr. Assistant w.e.f. 12.9.2003 (3050-4590) and departmentally promoted as Assistant (4000-6000) w.e.f. 5.11.2008. What will be my basic pay in the post of Assistant w.e.f. 5.11.2008 as per 6th pay commission?
where is the comparison table acp fixation , please Nandhi give the table details of various pay fixation and send me on my email id. ddradha@ymail.com
Three ACPs are loss for all LDCs and UDCs because in 24 years they would have been got the pay scale for the post of Assistant according to Vth pay commission i.e 5000-8000. According to Vth pay it will be got in 30 years what is the benefit of 3 ACP. Our department is not carrying the pay scale of Rs. 4500-7000 in between UDC (i.e.Rs.4000 - 6000)and Assistant(Rs. 5000-8000). Then why we should accept the grade pay of Rs. 2800/- and I am working as LDC for the last 22 years after 2 years I would have get the pay scale of Rs. 9300-34800. I have not get any promotion till date. You have to give option that 2 ACP in 24 years and 3 ACP in 30 years whichever is beneficial to officials like me.
Dear,Govt orders are very shameful on implementation of ACP and MACP. ACP had not been granted as per DOPT orders of Aug 1999 even for the employees granted ACP before the implementation of 6th CPC i.e. from 01 Sep 2008. Pay commission orders forced to opt for the ACP from from its date of grant to get the higher grade pay and loose the arrear from 01-01-2006 to the date of ACP opted, which is not at all fair because ACP granted on completion of 12/24 years of service and not on completion of 10/20/30 years. Govt intentions is very bad and against the principal of natural justice. Govt should reconsideration for all the cases granted ACP between 1-1-06 to 31-08-2008 in accordance with full DOPT orders of Aug 1999.
Abolish GP 4600 and merge them with GP 4800.
