Submissions on Pay Anomaly of Superintendents
Dear friends and Comrades,
In the meeting convened by the CBEC under the chairmanship of Member (Admn), we have projected the pay anomaly pertaining to our cadre. While we are yet to get back the parity with DySP of CBI, we have been further overtaken by the Superintendents of Posts and Section officers in the CSS.
We have also pointed out how the 7th CPC erred in stating that the V CPC found no ground to have parity between our cadres and that of the CBI.

Para 11.8.21
The Commission has noted that the VI CPC had
placed Inspector (Posts) at par with Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC. Subsequently
the inspectors of CBDT/CBEC were elevated to GP 4600. The Commission has
further noted that Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC are
recruited through the same combined graduate level examination. The
Commission, therefore, recommends that Inspector (Posts) who are presently in
the GP 4200 should be upgraded to GP 4600. With this upgradation, Inspector
(Posts) shall come to lie in an identical grade pay as that of their
promotion post of Assistant Superintendent of Posts (ASPOs). A higher grade
would thus need to be extended to ASPOs. Accordingly, the Commission
recommends that the promotional post of ASPOs be placed in the next higher GP
4800 and further, the post of Superintendent (Posts), which is presently in
the GP 4800, be moved up to GP 5400 (PB-2)’
Similar anomaly has been created while allowing
replacement pay in Level-9 to the Section Officers of CSS from the 6th
CPC pay in GP 4800.

The
association had demanded restoration of parity of Central Excise
Superintendent with the Deputy Superintendent of CBI i.e. replacement scale
of Rs.5400/- Grade Pay in PB-3, based on the analogy accepted while the pay
scales were revised with effect from 21.04.2004. But the Commission instead of restoring
that parity, broke one more parity that existed between the Superintendent of
Central Excise and the Superintendent of Posts by assigning replacement scale
of Grade Pay 5400 in PB-2 to the Postal Superintendents, but granting only
the replacement scale of Rs. 4800 in P.B 2 for the Superintendents of Central
Excise. The anomaly militates against
the position of the 7th CPC itself in Para 11.8.21. placing
Inspectors of Post at par with Inspectors in CBEC/ CBDT. The above position
is also without taking into consideration the level of responsibilities of
the respective cadres.

In para
11.18.61 the 7th CPC states: “It has been demanded that the post
of Superintendents and Appraisers may be upgraded from GP 4800 to GP 5400
(PB-3) on the grounds of historical parity between the gazetted executive
officers of CBI, IB, Central Police Organisations, Enforcement Directorate,
Customs, Income Tax and Central Excise.”
In para
11.18.62 the CPC says: “As reflected earlier, the V CPC had specifically
noted that no relativity could be established between executive posts in
Income Tax and Customs vis-à-vis those existing in CBI/IB.”
The
above observation is erroneous because the 5th CPC had clearly
stated that there was no justification to increase the pay scale of
Inspectors/DySPs and recommended that they be brought down to that of that of
Inspectors/Supdts of Central Excise. The categories of Officers on both sides
were not found on par only with their counterparts of the Central Police
Organisations. But the Government had
not brought down the scales of the Officers of CBI and precisely due to that
reason the scales of Officers in CBEC and CBDT were revised upwards with
effect from 21.04.2004. The 6th CPC had again created the same
anomaly. But instead of settling that
anomaly, now the 7th CPC has created a further anomaly by placing
comparable officers of Posts and CSS have been placed on Level 9 while Supdts
of Central Excise are only on Level 8.
