Respected Sir,
Subject: Revision of guidelines for
considering placement under TBOP/BCR Scheme in cases
where seniors are considered
for placement at par with their juniors – reg
Ref: Dte.Lr.No: No.22-612000-P. E. I (Pt.) Dt:
16.02.2017
I
wish to bring your kind notice about the recent Directorate letter Dated:
16.02.2017 as referred above regarding
the revision TBOP/BCR guidelines Scheme in cases where seniors are considered
for placement at par with their juniors which is one of the welfare matter of
SBCO staff.
The
Department issued orders for the
Modifications of TBOP/BCR Scheme vide D.G. Posts letter No. 22-5/95-PE-l dated
8.2.1996 & 26.3.1996 that all the officials such as, UDCs in the Circle
Office and SBCO, whose seniority was adversely affected by implementation of
TBOP/BCR scheme for extending benefit to
seniors for grant of 1st.
financial up gradation i.e. TBOP w.e.f. on par with juniors who got higher pay
scale after completion of 16 years of service & Second financial up
gradation i.e. BCR w.e.f. on par with juniors who got higher pay scale after
completion of 26 years of service.
Latter on, the Department issued orders Vide D.G
Posts letter No. 22-6/2000-PE.I dated 17.5.2000 that Completion of 16/26
years of service is a must for promotion under TBOP/BCR Scheme. Now, the Directorate is seeking information
from all Circles to reconsider the TBOP/BCR promotions on par with the juniors
as per the Directorate order given below.
“Now, the Directorate
issued orders that as per the Hon'ble Supreme Court's Order dated 13.02.2017
inI.A.No.2,3,412016 in SLP No.35654/2015 this Department is to review the
Directorate's Order No.22-6/2000-PE dated t7 /5/2000 for extending benefit to
seniors for grant of Second financial up gradation i.e. BCR w.e.f. on par with
juniors who got higher pay scale after completion of 26 years of service.
lt is reiterated that
as per the direction of the Hon'ble Supreme Court the entire exercise is to be
completed in a TIME BOUND manner. It is therefore, requested that the above
information may please be sent by return
FAX or email adgestt@indiapost.gov.in in
any case latest by 20.02.2017”.
It is come to our notice that the Head of the Offices
[Postmaster] of each HO did not pursue all the eligible senior officials on par
with their junior official on the basis of the gradation list, instead they
have sent the report to Circle Office for the directly recruited UDC officials
case only.
The seniors pay on
promotion should be protected with the junior officials pay fixation on their
promotion. It is the intension of the Supreme Court verdict. So that, in the
subject referred by the Directorate, it is mentioned as “Revision of guidelines
for considering placement under TBOP/BCR Scheme in cases where seniors are
considered for placement at par with their juniors”. i.e. including TBOP
scheme. As such, all the senior officials TBOP/BCR promotions have to be
reviewed with their junior official pay fixation on promotion.
Further in the
Supreme court Special Leave Petition order vide No: 35654/2015 Dt: 13.02.2017,
it is mentioned that “Learned counsel appearing for the Union of
India, referring to the affidavit filed by the Joint Secretary, submits that on
an overall view of justice, the Government of India has decided to extend
the benefit of the judgment to all similarly situated persons. However, it is
pointed out that the process will take a little time in view of the
inter-ministerial consultation.
Therefore, this application is disposed of, directing the petitioners
to extend the benefit arising out of the judgment to all similarly situated
employees, within a period of twelve weeks from today.
We make it clear that there shall be no further
extension of time and in case the payment is not made within the time granted,
the employees will be entitled to interest @ 12% per annum from the date of
original judgment by this Court and the officers responsible for the delay
shall be personally liable for the same”.
Since
it is a welfare matter of our SBCO cadre and also it is referred in the SLP No:
35654/2015 that the Government of
India has decided to extend the benefit of the judgment to all similarly
situated persons. However, it is pointed out that the process will take a
little time in view of the inter-ministerial consultation and petitioners to
extend the benefit arising out of the judgment to all similarly situated
employees, within a period of twelve weeks from today.
In
most of the Circles, this order is wrongly interpreted that it will applicable
to the directly recruited UDCs of SBCOs and accordingly, the Head of the
offices send the details only for the directly recruited UDCs. It is not
correct. The seniors pay on promotion
should be protected with the junior officials pay fixation on their promotion.
It is the intension of the Supreme Court verdict. So that, in the subject
referred by the Directorate, it is mentioned as “Revision of guidelines for
considering placement under TBOP/BCR Scheme in cases where seniors are
considered for placement at par with their juniors”. i.e. including TBOP
scheme. As such, all the senior officials TBOP/BCR promotions have to be
reviewed with their junior official pay fixation on promotion.
Hence, it is kindly requested to consider
the following prayer to recollect the full details from the Head of the Offices
to review all pending & new claim of
senior official cases as a onetime
measure to avoid any further legal proceedings and confusion in dealing this
promotional matter by the Head of the offices.
1.
This order is applicable to all the SBCO officials whose seniority was
adversely affected by implementation of TBOP/BCR scheme for extending benefit to seniors for grant of of 1st. financial up gradation i.e.
TBOP w.e.f. on par with juniors who got higher pay scale after completion of 16
years of service & Second financial up gradation i.e. BCR w.e.f. on par
with juniors who got higher pay scale after completion of 26 years of service.
2.
Number of senior SBCO employees who were not granted financial up gradation
under the TBOP/BCR Scheme on account of non completion of 16/26 years whereas
their juniors were granted financial up gradation under TBOP/BCR scheme after
completion of 16/26 years.
3. In such
case, if all the senior SBCO employees are granted financial up gradation under
TBOP/BCR scheme w.e.f. the date of their juniors were granted TBOP/BCR, what
will be the total financial implications
thereof.
It is kindly requested that the earlier
order Dt: 16.2.2017 may please be modified accordingly as suggested above.
Thanking you, Sir.
Yours faithfully,
[P.A.MHATHRE, GENERAL SECRETARY]
