CADRE REVIEW OF S.B.C.O. STAFF
This memorandum submitted to D.G.POSTS New Delhi 110001 and Member [P] on 22-09-08 by G.S. IPSBCO STAFF ASSOCIATION -:
The saving bank control organization ,functioning under department of post having nature of work as internal audit and accounts as per provisions & approved control procedure by the finance ministry & postal board .This section is decentralized from audit & accounts in 1962-63 for the convenience of the local audit and attached to each H.O. The staff of SBCO having distinct cadre having more responsibility & technical job. The staff of SBCO is recruited by competitive exam. From open market& promotions through postal operative staff. The section is functioning as CUSTODIAN of government & public money. Thus the role of this section is exactly as audit & accounts and this section is working for finance ministry as internal audit and controlling over postal saving bank business as per procedure laid down by the ministry of finance.
The matter was pointed out to the 6th CPC and concerned ministry by this association vide ref. Even no. dated. 10/03/08 &20/03/08 and above references to consider this section for pay scales at par with staff belonging to the organized accounts department cadre staff as per ministry of finance order no. 6/82 /EIII/dated 28 Feb. 2003 by enhancing scales of account & audit staff W.E.F. 01-01-1996 notionally with actual benefit from 19-02-2003.
It is also pointed out to consider this issue in the light of the judgment vide kolkatta CAT O.A. no.793-8/2006. The case filed to consider this SBCO section to get pay structure as per audit & accounts staff. Hon’ble court has directed to the union to approach to the 6th C.P.C.
One important issue in this case through this section is performing audit and accounting function and under technical control of audit and accounts for its inspections and some of its HSG1 posts are controlled by audit and accounts staff JAO’s as in charge, this section was not considered for ACP Promotion in 1986 which was enjoyed by audit and accounts staff.
SBCO section has to accept time bond in 1991 and down graded at par with postal operative staff as PA[SBCO] denying its previous status as this staff was recruited by competitive examinations from outside and through postal operative staff as promotions in UDC cadre. Contrary the staff of Audit & Accounts & its equal status staff of IP/ASP’S upgraded in scales & status it can be cleared by the comparative chart attached for you ready reference.
One more issue in this regard is to consider that all benefits of TBOP/BCR are not given to this section. Through the SBCO official is senior most in office he cannot be office in charge as postmaster but his junior from postal side is working as postmaster. That is the staff is not consider for pay scales benefits & promotions as Audit & Accounts staff as well as it is not considered for benefit of senior most in the TBOP &BCR scheme in administration that is this staff is not given benefit of operative staff in promotion issues as PSS “B” group exam. Etc. & local promotions.
Considering its Audit & Accounting nature of work this SBCO section may be consider all benefits as pay structure at par with Audit & Accounts with higher post promotions in audit and accounts as JAO/AAO after HSGI through seniority. Its cadre must be reviewed accordingly at par with Audit &Accounts.
The latest development in this the 6th CPC report is accepted and according to the recommendations of 6th CPC report part II sec.3 [1] page 45 the scales referred to the office staff working in organizations out side the secretariat Para- 3.1.14 sr. no. 1 Head clerk/Astt./steno grade ii equivalent pre-revised scale 4500-7000 &5000-8000 are consider for revised scale 6500-10500 in PB-2 with grade pay 4200.
Vide Para 3.8.5 of 6th CPC the existing relativity between accounts post outside organized accounts cadres and ministerial posts will be maintained and the accounts staff belonging to unorganized cadres shall be enhanced the corresponding replacement pay band and grade pay.
As per SBCO control procedure SBCO staff ,this section is considered as ministerial staff working for finance ministry as internal auditing and checking organization so the pay scales granted for the audit and accounts staff cadre may be consider for the staff of SBCO to maintain their status.
Once this staff was having equal status with IPO’S /ASP’S &Audit & Accounts staff which can be shown by the comparative chart but this section staff is kept deprived in ACP promotion to audit and accounts staff in 1986& TBOP in 1983/BCR in 1991 to operative staff.
If not so this staff seniority must be considered in offices and senior official in office from SBCO must be considered for POSTMASTER promotion in administrative post with all benefits of TBOP/BCR seniority as operative staff including PSS GROUP ‘B’ promotion to SBCO staff . because all juniors are working as postmaster and even HSG I ,SBCO staff and there is no any provision to SBCO staff to work on higher posts in operative cadres as well as in audit and accounts. It may be considered.
Finally it is requested to consider ACP Promotion to SBCO staff at par with AUDIT&ACCOUNTS STAFF. It is also granted by the finance/ government for central employees after 10,20,&30 years service with pay structure at par with Audit & Accounts staff. Even notionally as in order dated 28 feb.2003 .
The federation has also requested /accepted for cadre review and accepted ACP scheme. This association is also ready to accept the scheme with modification as suggested above in the light of the Kolkatta CAT verdict in O/A NO. 793-8/2006 to get pay structure as per audit and accounts staff vide order no. 6/82/E III/dated 28th Feb.2003 attached h/w for your reference . considering situation as compared and explained in annexure 1 to4 attached h/w. the decision of ACP to SBCO may be taken.
Hope that you will consider this issue to grant ACP to SBCO at par with Audit &Accounts cadre staff suggested by the 6th CPC & accepted by the govt. This will AVOID THE INJUSTICE CAUSED TO THE SBCO STAFF SINCE 1981 in issue of Time Bound / BCR & for operative staff and ACP in 1986 to the Audit & Accounts staff.

The Union Cabinet has given its approval for implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission. The revised pay scales will come into effect from 1/1/2006 and revised rates of allowances from 1/9/2008. The Cabinet has also decided that arrears will be paid in cash in two instalments – first instalment of 40% during the current year (2008-09) and the remaining 60% in the next financial year (2009-10).
For further details:
Salient features of 6th Pay Commission
2. The Cabinet has broadly accepted the recommendations of Sixth CPC with some modifications in the wake of representations received from various sections/Associations of Central Government employees. The new system of four Pay Bands with 20 Grade Pays recommended by the Commission has been accepted with some minor modifications.
3. The minimum Basic Pay for a Government servant has been increased to Rs.7000 from Rs.6660 recommended by the Sixth CPC. Consequently, the total emoluments of an employee at the lowest level will exceed Rs.10,000 p.m., including allowances.
4. The other highlights of the Cabinet decision covering all Government employees including the Defence Forces are:-
(i) Enhancement in the fitment in revised pay bands, which was recommended by the Sixth CPC to be based on multiplication factor of 1.74 to 1.86. This would result in increased emoluments for Government employees.
(ii) Increase in the rate of annual increment from 2.5% to 3%.
(iii) Removal of Campus restriction for grant of Transport Allowance.
iv) Increase in Transport Allowance at the lowest level to Rs.600 (from Rs.400 in A-1/A class cities recommended by the Sixth CPC) and Rs.400 (from Rs.300 in other cities recommended by the Sixth CPC).
(v) At least three promotions have been assured for all Defence Forces’ personnel and civilian employees under the modified Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme. While the civilians would get it after 10, 20 and 30 years of service, the Defence Forces Jawans would get ACP in 8, 16 and 24 years.
5. For the Armed Forces personnel, the Commission, for the first time recommended a Military Service Pay (MSP). The Cabinet has increased the rate of MSP for PBORs to Rs.2000 from Rs.1000 recommended by the Commission. The Officers of the Defence Forces would get an MSP of Rs.6000 over and above their Pay.
6. The middle level officers of the Defence Forces namely Colonels and Brigadiers have been placed in the highest Pay Band of PB-4.
7. Senior Lt. Generals overlooked for promotion as Army Commanders due to lack of residual service would now get the grade of Army Commander (Secretary’s grade). In the case of existing Major Generals/Lt. Generals, MSP will be taken into account notionally for fixation of pay on 1/1/2006.
8. As replacement of the pay scale of Rs.24050-26000, a separate pay scale has been carved for DGPs, PCCFs, GM (Railways), members of the Boards of Income Tax, Customs & Central Excise, Postal and Ordnance Factories, among others, who were in this pre-revised scale. This would take them to the level of Rs.80000 in two years as against three years in the pre-revised scale.
9. Further, the IPS Pay Rules and the Indian Forest Service Pay Rules will be appropriately modified to provide in each State cadre one post of DGP and one post of PCCF at the apex level of Rs.80000 for heading their respective Forces.
10. Middle level Police and Civilian officers i.e. DIGs, Conservator of Forests, Scientists E & F, Superintending Engineers, Directors, Additional Commissioners of Income Tax and Central Excise and posts in equivalent grades have also been placed in PB-4.
11. Other salient decisions taken by the Cabinet are:-
(i) The lower limits of Disability Pension for Defence personnel to be doubled from Rs.1550 to Rs.3100. War Disability Pension to be granted at 60%;
(ii) The rates of Special Forces Allowance for Army and Air Force to be equated with navy’s Marine Commando Allowance;
(iii) For the officers of Central Para Military Forces, all the posts of Additional DIG upgraded to DIG level by the Pay Commission to continue to be manned by the cadre officers of CPMFs;
(iv) For the Railway employees who are in receipt of Running Allowance, this allowance will be taken into account while fixing their pay in revised pay bands;
(v) Government has continued the present position of granting Group A scale to Group B officers after 4 years of service and these officers would be placed in PB-3 instead of PB-2 recommended by the Sixth CPC. This would benefit Group B officers of the Railways, Accounts Services, CSS, CSSS and DANICS & DANIPS.
(vi) For Doctors, the Cabinet has approved promotions under the Dynamic ACP Scheme upto Senior Administrative Grade (Joint Secretary level) for Doctors with 20 years of service. Counting of Dearness Allowance (DA) on Non-Practicing Allowance (NPA) as on 01.01.2006 for fixing their pay in revised pay bands has also been approved;
(vii) For the scientists, continuation of the existing system of grant of Special Pay of Rs.2000 p.m. to Scientists G on promotion and doubling of the amount to Rs.4000 p.m. in Departments of Space and Atomic Energy and Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) has been recommended.
12. The financial implications in 2008-09 on account of the implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission as modified by the Cabinet will be around Rs.15700 crore on the Central Budget and Rs.6400 crore on the Railway Budget.

6th cpc soon
Cabinet likely to clear Pay Panel report, PM may declare on I-DayWritten by news paper 13th, 2008
The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) is working overtime to ensure that the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission are deliberated and approved by the Cabinet on Thursday so that the Prime Minister could announce it on Independence Day.
Sources said that DoPT officials were readying the note for the Cabinet which would retain the Commission’s recommendation of an average 25 per cent increase in the basic pay of the Central government employees, including the armed forces.
However, there would be minor changes from the panel’s advisory with the proposal to introduce the raise from January 2007, as is being pushed by Finance Minister P Chidambaram, instead of January 2006 suggested by the panel.
The wage hike would be available in hard currency from April 2008 with past dues—or arrears—parked in the general Provident Fund to be provided as pension after retirement.
The aim of this exercise is to limit the outgo this year to Rs 12,500 crore, or else Chidambaram would have to shell out Rs 30,000 crore in one go, said sources.
The proposal would also incorporate the wish of the armed forces to improve the emoluments for jawans posted at frontiers by doubling the military special pay to Rs 2,000 per month.
The Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service would get relief with the abolition of the Deputy Inspector General scale as this position was getting to become a resting place for them thereby delaying their promotion.
There is no mention of the retirement age being raised to 62 years from current 60 years as has been frequently reported in the media, said sources.
The ball was set rolling last Thursday when the Principal Secretary to the PM, TKA Nair, was shown a presentation on the Committee of Secretaries’ approvals on Pay Commission recommendations.
The timing matches with the likely monsoon session of Parliament in September when the Finance Ministry would have to move for a supplementary demand for grant to fund the wage bill.
Defence Minister A K Antony is meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday to take a final decision on the pay hike revision for the armed forces. The meeting, which will also be attended by the Finance Minister, will take a final call on salaries for the armed forces who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Sixth Pay Commission Report.
Sources said while the main change would be doubling of the Military Service Pay (MSP) for soldiers to Rs 2,000 per month, the pay structure of officers will not be changed much. However, allowances for Lt Gen rank officers posted at Service Headquarters are expected to be increased and brought at par with Commander in Chiefs posted across the country.
Ministry sources said that Antony would also be pitching for an increase in pay over and above the recommendations of the Committee of Secretaries before the PM. The minister is expected to push for an MSP of Rs 3,000 for soldiers due to the hardships faced by them.

Dear employees,
The sources from NDTV says it will take some more time to implement the sixth pay commission. The contradictions between defence and finance ministry was quoted as the reason. The Hounourable FM or PM atleast quote atleast few lines on pay commission while going through nuclear deal. We have to wait till 22 of this month to hear some golden words from our FM since they are going to face no confidence motion on 22 of this month. Wait, wait,wait then what else to do.

Commission, Omission - Pay Commission disappoints Postal Group ‘C’ employees
There is a great deal of resentment over the recommendations of the sixth Pay mmission amongst the Postal Employees. The 5th CPC had recognized the skills of the Postal Assistants and recommended higher scale of pay than the other Group ‘C’ employees of other Central Government establishments. Now, the various types of new works other than that of Post Office work are introduced which also requires highly skilled performance. However, the 6th CPC had not recognized this aspect and rescribed same pay band for the Postmen and Postal Assistants and only the Grade Pay has been increased to Rs.400/-to P.As. This has caused irksome to Postal Assistants and hence needs modification. The Grade Pay should be of Rs.2800 for P.As instead of Rs.2400. The gross injustice done to the TBOP cadre, though admitted in the evidence stage, the anomaly was not set right.The Pay Commission has also not recognized the heavy responsibility shouldered by LSG Supervisors and did not recommend higher pay band. This is totally unjustified and unacceptable.Now the LSG is a Circle Cadre and many have to go to outstation and maintain two establishments. If the LSG Scale is not in commensurate with the esponsibilities they shoulder, many will decline to work in norm based LSG posts. The officials are justified in declining LSG promotion since they are not financially benefited to shoulder additional higher responsibilities. Further, the Department had already filed a SLP in the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Madras High Court and pleading that TBOP and BCR are only financial up gradation and not promotion. No body could predict the outcome of the Supreme Court case and when the final judgment would be pronounced. Therefore, now there is an urgent need that we should negotiate with the Govt. and the department to get higher scale of pay to the norm based LSG cadre. If we miss the bus, we have to wait for the next pay commission. We had lost already 10 years to get enhanced pay scale for TBOP/BCR cadres. Now, in middle class families mostly husband and wife are employed and ransfer is a liability since many have already settled in their respective towns/cities and constructed houses on getting loan from the department and banks.Hence the LSG Pay needs modification. We demand pre revised scale of pay of Rs.5000-150-8000 to LSG grade now. As stressed in the Pay Commission memorandum, there can be only one HSG cadre instead of 2 (HSG II & HSG-I). If there is one HSG cadre with a decent pay scale, the officials can go for some time to out stations on promotion till they can get vacancies in their towns/cities and the HSG scale can be pre revised scale of Rs.7450-225-11500.The 6th CPC had also done injustice to PO & RMS Accountants by simply doubling the present special allowance of Rs.180 to Rs. 360. Majority of the officials will not become eligible to get the allowance once they become eligible for up gradation of pay in TBOP. The Special Allowance should be treated as special pay and should be paid to all PO & RMS Accountants irrespective of their grade in TBOP/BCR and the special pay should be taken for fixation when they are promoted to LSG cadre.The 6th CPC’s contention that higher Pay Scales for System Administrators and Marketing Executives is not justified is unacceptable to us. We may demand pre revised scale of pay of Rs.5000-150-8000 to these officials and should be treated as separate cadre. The next promotional avenue for these cadres should be in HSG, Group‘B’ and Group ‘A’. The department can promote them to Group ‘B’ after conducting an examination or the department can prescribe some specific qualifications and allow these officials sufficient time to acquire themAs far as the basic structure of pay scale of CG employees is concerned, the Grade Pay should be raised by Rs.2000/- to all cadres up to Group B to set right the anomalies. The annual increment should be 4% to avoid derogation of emoluments compared to the future cost of living. All the new recommendations made by the Pay Commission should be discussed with the Staff Side JCM before implementation.The recommendation that annual increment be at 2.5% per annum and date of effect should be from 1st July every year, is totally unjustified we may demand increment at 4% per annum and the same should be drawn after completion of one year of service as in existence at present.The sixth pay commission has not recommended that merger of DA with basic pay at any stage. This is unacceptable. The present arrangement should continue.The Sixth Pay Commission salaries at the top have gone much more and bleak as you go down and down.We do not wish to express our opinion on other subjects, as we are awaiting the reactions of the Leaders of the other concerned Unions and as well as Leaders of the JCM.We urge the Government and the Department of Posts to rectify these anomalies or otherwise the employees will be pushed to launch trade union agitations including industrial strike to achieve these genuine reasonable demands.

“Public servant must be told of all ACR entries”
All entries, “good” or “bad” made by a superior in the annual confidential report (ACR) of a government employee must be communicated to him or her, the Supreme Court held on Monday (12.5.08). The Bench, of Justice H.K.Sema and Justice Markandya Katju rejected the Center’s contention that only an adverse entry had to be made known.Writing the judgment, Justice Katju said non-communication of an entry “is arbitrary’ because it deprived the employee of an opportunity of making a representation and praying for its upgrade. ‘Moreover, the object of writing the confidential report and making entries in them is to give an opportunity to a public servant to improve his performance.”“Fairness and transparency in public administration require that all entries (whether poor, fair, average, good or very good) in the ACRof a public servant, whether in civil, judicial, police or other service (except the military) must be communicated to him (or her) within a reasonable period so that he (or she) can make a representation for its up gradation,” the Bench said.This would apply to an employee under the State or its instrumentality.“If we hold that only a ‘poor’ entry is to be communicated, the consequences may be that persons getting ‘fair’ ‘average’ or ‘good’ entries will not be able to make a representation for their upgrade and this subsequently adversely affect their chances or promotion (or get some other benefit),” the Bench said.It held that if the September 10, 1987, Office Memorandum was interpreted to mean that only adverse entries (i.e., ‘poor’) needed to be communicated it would become arbitrary and illegal.
Morale boosterThe Court made it clear that even an ‘outstanding’ entry should be communicated since that would boost the morale of the employee and make him /her work harder.Once a representation was made against an entry, the authority concerned must make a fair decision within a reasonable period. “We also hold that the representation must be decided by an authority higher than the one who gave the entry, otherwise the likelihood is that the representation will be summarily rejected without adequate consideration as it would be a n appeal from Caesar to Caesar,” the Bench said.“All this would be conducive to fairness and transparency in public administration and would result in fairness to public servants. The state must be a model employer, and must act fairly towards its employees. Only then would good governance be possible.”In the instant case, Dev Dutt, working in the Border Roads Engineering Service, was not considered for promotion as Superintending Engineer as he did not have the benchmark of “very good” entry; he got only a ‘good ‘entry for 1993-94. His petition before the Gauhati High Court that this was not communicated to him was dismissed.Allowing his appeal against that judgment, the Bench said though he had retired, the ‘good’ entry must be communicated to Mr. Dutt and if an upgrade was allowed, he should be considered for promotion retrospectively. If promoted, he would be entitled to all consequential benefits with eight per cent interest a year.

Pay commission report: Change in work practices required
The introduction of performance related incentive scheme (PRIS) in the Sixth Central Pay Commission(CPC) Report is to be welcomed. However, its implementation presents challenges that need careful consideration. Moving from an annual bonus system, which is more gratia than a reward for performance, to a strictly monitored system of measuring performance has less to do with policy changes and more with changes in the mindset of employees across hierarchies.
The pay commission report has covered almost all aspects of introducing such a scheme from using SMART goals, developing an objective score card based performance management system, leveraging ICT and MIS and a focus on building the corpus through internal savings resulting from process improvement. However, the aspect that will need most attention is the on-the-ground implementation of a system that is not only easily understood and acceptable but supported by other related initiatives that guarantee its success and sustainability.
A change in work practices will be required. Building a system which discourages inefficient use of time and rewards high productivity, would need to be supported by adequate communication of what constitutes performance. Overtime, for example, is more a norm than an exception — a component of compensation that proves highly lucrative for most employees. On the one hand internal communication, messages, workshops that demonstrate the benefits of productivity need to be introduced. On the other, strong and smart planning processes needs to be put in place to drive a culture that appreciates work life balance, encourages achievement of more in less time and looks down on inefficient practices such as regular use of overtime.
'Measurable indicators' relevant to job holders would need to be defined. While performance for the government employees goes beyond profit to include social goals, the challenge is to determine the extent to which the achievement of these goals is controlled by the employee being measured and rewarded. For example, how can a reduction of crime rate or reduction in infant mortality rate be attributed to the performance of an individual?
A further exercise of cascading these end outcomes to actual measurable goals within the purview of the individual employed is necessary to make the measurable indicators relevant. The stated performance objectives at the macro level need to be broken down and contextualised to the actual job at hand for an individual employee, to ensure performance can be predicted and controlled.
While this can be easily achieved for roles primarily into execution, there are roles at the higher echelons that focus on work like policy making. What parameters would be used to define the outcomes of these roles and how would they be measured? Another dimension would be those working in functions like quality, finance, personnel and administration, where outcomes may not be easily seen. The key challenge anticipated in these jobs is in identifying 'measurable indicators'.
And then there is the voice of the citizen. Measurement of performance of government officials who serve citizens cannot be limited to internal parameters only. Mechanisms to capture public feedback need to be introduced and relevant inputs need to be considered in measuring performance. The CPC report does propound the multiple assessor concept and makes a reference to the Sevottam model. However, since most of this feedback would be based on perception, the challenge would be to define the parameters to make them measurable.
The existing performance measurement system (or the lack of it) revolves around confidential reports (CRs) that are used mostly for career growth programmes – and not for measuring performance. If these CRs are to be replaced by balanced score card-based PMS having SMART goals, adequate sensitisation and training of all involved in the process is necessary. More often than not a well-developed system does not meet its objectives because the end users are unable to leverage its benefits. The goal setting activity, for example, cannot be top down. It needs to be mutually decided in an open discussion, include realistic and achievable goals, accepted by all involved with mid course corrections to ensure that individuals are not demotivated with excessively stretched goals or given too soft targets.

Ref no.- IP SBCO [circular [02/08]
TO,
Circle secretary/conveners/ CWC members /& SBCO staff
Dear friends,
Struggle for survival- Recognition process through membership check off system
Vide DTE no.- 13/4/07 SR dated 26TH MARCH2008 process is started. We have to submit maximum membership in the prescribed declaration forms to DDO`S / P.M. / SR.P.M.s within 10th of june2008. This time we have to choose only “Indian Postal SBCO Staff Association” membership to maintain our status as superior position in Post Bank of India proposal / to get audit status which is in process through only this association. Only this association has all India policy to protect SBCO staff with its identity & better future for SBCO staff as one of the federal association. It is involved in 6th pay commission for first time and put up our proposal in two/three meetings with 6th CPC. For our all proposal NFPE has apposed & tried every time to abolish SBCO or to control over SBCO staff by avoiding its superiority. It must be noted, because this time even NFPE has submitted its SBCO union as ”all India postal SBCO employees association” [NFPE] to cover SBCO membership of its own. NFPE has never supported SBCO issues since TBOP/BCR/HSGI, pay status etc. but every time we have to face its policy to get succeed. Even after its future & identity. This time NFPE through this association is trying to misguide SBCO staff by its resembled name with AISBCE union one recognized union. It has no any all India status only on paper as recognized. In all issues TBOP/BCR/HSG1, 6TH CPC, to protect SBCO staff in fraud cases, suspension cases, transfer issues etc. it is nowhere. So we have to choose only INDIAN POSTAL SBCO STAFF ASSOCIATION as our association to fill up membership forms.
Suppose it is struggle for our survival. If we win we will survive if failed we will be lost. So be ready for mission of our survival through recognition for our achievement in our goal/ target. Best luck to all of you for this mission. We hope you will prepare yourselves for this battle.
