IP GS writes on Grade Pay

Letter to Minister of State for Finance to intervene in GP matter. No. GS/AIAIASP/GP/2012                                                                            Dated 3rd September, 2012 To, Hon’ble Shri Namo Narain Meena, Minister of State for Finance, Govt. Of India, New Delhi 110 001. Subject : Disparity in the pay scale of Inspectors Post (Group B). Respected Sir, I wish to bring to your kind notice the discrimination meted out to the cadre of Inspectors Post (Group B) in the Department of Post under Ministry of Communication in the matter of Grade Pay in comparison to the grade pay granted to the analogous cadres in other departments such as CBEC/CBDT and Assistants in Central Secretariat. The pay scale of Inspectors Post (IPs) was having a historical parity with the pay scales of Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC/IB. However, this parity was disturbed in 1986 and Inspectors Post cadre is forced to perpetuate miserable fate by 1986 pay commission. The 5th Central Pay Commissi

Proportion of SC, ST employees in Government Service

How are members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes faring  i n the government hierarchy? At the very top level of the government bureaucracy, out of a total of 149 secretary-level officers, there were no SC officers while there were only 4 ST officers, as of March 2011. Actually, even in the most sought after civil services, IAS, IPS and IFS, the proportion of SC, ST and OBC officers was below the mandated quotas. Out of 3,251 directly recruited IAS officers, SC officers made up 13.9%, ST officers 7.3% and OBCs just 12.9%. This information , too, was stated in the Lok Sabha by Narayanasamy in 2011. Clearly, the underprivileged sections are not yet getting the full advantage of  affirmative action   envisaged by the Constitution makers. This is further confirmed by the huge number of vacancies    in government positions reserved for SCs and STs. According to a statement given in the LS in November last year by Shri. Narayanasamy, there were 25,037 ‘backlog’ posts for SC lyi
