Brief about Master Craftsman granting MACP – III to Rs.4600/- Grade Pay in Defence

· Master Craftsman in Defence were drawing the pay scale Rs.4500 – 7000 prior to 01.01.2006

·  Through Fast Track committee on the recommendations of 6^th CPC, Master craftsman (MCM) were upgraded to Rs.4200/- Grade Pay w.e.f. 01.01.2006 at par with Railways – vide M of D letter No.11 (5)/2009-D(Civ-I) dt 14.06.2010 and the re-structuring of Artisans were implemented by introducing 4 grade structure i.e., Skilled, HS Grade – II, HS Grade-I and MCM with a ratio of 45 : 20.625 : 20.625 : 13.75% respectively.

·   Principle Controller of Accounts Fys (PC of A(FYS), Kolkatta vide their letter No.Pay/Tech-II/04/2011/15 dated 26.10.2011 and 12.12.2011 clarified that the Industrial Employees who become MCM before 01.01.2006 is eligible for 3^rd  MACP in the Grade Pay of Rs.4600/-.

ISSUE

CLARIFICATION

Whether an Industrial Employee who was placed to MCM before 01.01.2006 and promoted to MCM on  01.01.2006 is eligible for 3rd MACP with Grade Pay of Rs.4600 after 30 years on the plea that he was granted only two up-gradations in his entire service i.e. Skilled to HS and HS to MCM

YES, such MCM is eligible for 3rd MACP with Grade Pay Rs.4600/- after 30 years of service if found otherwise eligible, as they got two promotions prior to 01.01.2006 i.e. Skilled to HS and HS to MCM.  But those Industrial Employees who were not placed to MCM before 01.01.2006 are not eligible for 3rd MACP because such persons have got or shall get promotion from Skilled to HS –II, from HS II to HS I and HS I to MCM, so there is no scope for 3rd MACP upgradation.

·      After issue of the above clarifications by the PC of A (FYS) Kolkatta, Master Craftsman (MCM) who became MCM before 01.01.2006 were granted 3^rd MACP to Rs.4600/- Grade Pay on completion of 30 years of service.

·      Subsequently the DOP&T vide their letter DOP&T I.D.No.7680/12/CR dated 13.07.2012 and M of D I.D. No.11 (5)/2009-D (Civ-I) Dated 23.07.2012 clarified.

a)  Para 8 of Annexure-1 of DOP&T OM No.35034/3/2008-Est(D) dt. 19.05.2009 of MACPs provides that promotion earned in the post carrying same grade pay in the promotional post carrying same grade pay in the promotional hierarchy as per recruitment rules shall be counted for the purpose of MACPs.  Financial up-gradation under MACPs in respect of Master Craftsman will be in the same Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- as that of the Promotional post of Chargeman.

b)  ACP/MACP schemes have been introduced by the Government in order to mitigate stagnation faced by employees due to lack of promotional avenues.  Financial up-gradation under ACP/MACP scheme cannot be more than what can be allowed to an employee on his normal promotion.  It may be classified that placement of Highly Skilled Grade as Master Craftsman prior to 01.01.2006 is to be treated as one Promotion for the purpose of MACP benefits.

·      After issue of the above clarifications, the IEs who became MCM prior to 01.01.2006 and who were granted Rs.4200/- Grade Pay were denied the 3^rd MACP and the up-gradation of Pay was considered as promotion.  Similarly, MCM who got Chargeman which is also having identical pay were also counted as promotion and the Grade Pay Rs.4600/- granted have been denied.  Now, accounts authorities have fixed pay be revising to Rs.4200/- Grade Pay accordingly, MCM employees on their superannuation, pension and all other terminal benefits have been re-fixed and paid on the Grade Pay of Rs.4200/-.

Representation was sent by the Federations and by Ordnance Factory Board to   M of D which was forwarded to DOP&T in which we have submitted that:

As per clarification No.35 of DOP&T OM F.No.35035/1/97-Estt(D)(Vol-IV) dt 15^th July 2001 which is being reproduced.

Sl.No	Point of Doubt	Clarification
35	Whether Placement/ Appointment in higher scales of Pay based on the recommendation of the Pay commissions or committees set up to rationalize the cadre is to be reckoned as Promotion/Financial up-gradation and offset against the two financial up-gradations applicable under the ACP Scheme?	Where all the post are placed in Higher scale of Pay, with or without a change in the designation, without requirement of any new qualification for holding the post in the higher grade, not specified in the Recruitment Rules for the existing post and without involving any change in responsibilities and duties, then placement of all the incumbents against such upgraded posts is not be treated as promotion/upgradation

a)     As per DOP&T OM of 2001 mentioned above, it is clear that all the posts of MCM as on 31.12.2005 were enbloc upgraded to higher pay scale, the higher pay scale granted to MCM w.e.f 01.01.2006 cannot be treated as promotion.  Accordingly the MCM who are placed in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f 01.01.2006 are entitled for their next ACP/MACP in PB2 +Grade Pay Rs.4600/- by ignoring the higher pay scale granted to them w.e.f. 01.01.2006.

b)     The post of MCM was not a post of hierarchy prior to 01.01.2006 and it was part of HS Grade.  The ratio which was introduced for Industrial Employees in M of D w.e.f. 20.05.2003, the ratio was 45:55 between Skilled and HS Grade respectively 25% of 55% was placed as MCM which is a part of hierarchy till 31.12.2005.  Therefore MCM placed from HS Grade was not treated as promotion only after 01.01.2006; it was treated as a separate grade.

c)       The post of MCM, is part of hierarchy w.e.f.01.01.2006 but not a feeder post to Chargeman and as such any movement from MCM to Chargeman cannot be treated as promotion in the identical Grade Pay.

From 20.05.2003	w.e.f 01.01.2006
Skilled                 -   45% HS Grade            -   55% MCM                   -   25% of 55% Only two grades were there till 31.12.2005	Skilled               -        45% HS Grade II       -       20.625% HS Grade I        -       20.625% MCM                 -       13.75%

Thus, till 31.12.2005, MCM was part of HS Grade and it was treated as part of HS Grade and was treated as placement and not counted for ACP.

Skilled       --------   HS Grade        I Promotion/ I ACP

HS Grade    ---------    MCM               II ACP

MCM          -----------    was granted 3^rd MACP w.e.f. 01.09.2008

Further, ACP – II to the erstwhile pay of Rs.5000-8000 was granted prior to the promotion of MCM and subsequently they were promoted to Rs.4500 – 7000 but they continue to draw the ACP scale Rs.5000 – 8000 prior to 01.01.2006.

They were also denied the benefit of 3^rd MACP after 01.09.2008 which is unfair.

MCM to Chargeman is not a feeder post only as per SRO HS I is the feeder post thus MCM to be treated as re-designation and not as promotion.

Therefore, denial of 3^rd MACP is not as per the DOP&T clarification of 2001.They should be allowed to continue in Rs.4600/- Grade Pay as was granted.

                                                                                  Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                  (R.SRINIVASAN)

     8.    PIECE WORK CO-RELATION ON VI CPC PAY        DDG/Admin

             A.K.Singh Committee report on incentive scheme submitted during 2003 was not considered as feasible by M of D which was an additional scheme to Piecework.  Due to this the Piece Work revision proposal is pending with M of D.  Federations were agreed to withdraw the A.K.Singh Committee report so that Piece Work revision proposal can be processed and implemented at the earliest.

    9.    ORDNANCE FACTORIES RECRUITMENT BOARD             A/IR – DDG               Upto 2013-14, around 23000 posts have been sanctioned for Recruitment in Ordnance Factories and as per the feedback received around 12000 persons have joined already.  Recruitment process is in various stages for 10,000 to 11,000 posts.  Some Factories not yet advertised vacancies; some of them are under the investigation due to some complaints.  In the recent Head of Departments (HOD) meetings (GMs Conference) this was discussed with Secretary DDP, M of D and Secretary agreed for Centralised Recruitment.  So the Ordnance Factories Recruitment Board will be approved soon to recruit all Group ‘C’ Posts.  For Chargeman DR, NADP Ambajhari will take the responsibility for recruitment.

    

      10. RECRUITMENT IN NIE CADRE        During 2013-14, 900 posts were sanctioned for recruitment in various factories.  Further sanction is also being considered and will be issued shortly, particularly for CMDs, Stenographers etc for sanction.

    11. Tradesmen SSK on completion of 2 years are to be promoted to Skilled.  Factories are delaying in conducting Trade Test and effecting promotions.  It was agreed to the Staff side suggestions to conduct Trade Test before 3 months of completion of            2 years and the promotion will be released on time i.e., on completion of 2 years.

      

     12. 30 Days EL FOR IES WHO HAVE OPTED FOR FACTORIES ACT            DDG/A/A 

                  After granting 30 days EL to all industrial Employees from November, 2006, the Piece Workers are denied the benefit of availing 30 days EL on the reasons that they have opted leave under Factories Act.  PC of A Fys denied to grant 30 days EL for Piece Workers as the Factories Act restrict EL only upto 18 days.  They said either fresh option is to be allowed or it will remain in the same status.

              The reasons because, for Industrial Employees in Ordnance Factories TWO set of leave rules are there

      (i)  Under Factories Act                    (ii) Departmental Leave Rules

                 Whereas in Railways only one Rule is applicable to all i.e., Departmental Leave Rules, we have therefore agreed to kill theproblem to agree for retaining/opting for only Departmental leave Rules by which all will get 30 days EL and can accumulate upto 300 days.  Due to this issue, Piece Workers are granted only 18 days and at the time of retirement they are given @ rate of 18 days per year.  We therefore, agreed to switch over to Departmental Leave Rules thereby all will get 30 days EL per annum.  Proposal has been sent to M of D and DOP&T for approval.  Further we will try to get the benefit with retrospectively so that those who have paid less on leave encashment will be granted.  Pensioners will be benefited.

      13. DIRECTOR /A/NI

      a)    The issue of stepping up of Pay between Direct Recruitees and pormotees among the Teaching Staff of Ordnance Factories have been raised.  Director/A/NI replied that in respect of PRT, TGT and PGT wherever the promotees are drawing lesser than the Direct Recruitees, will be given Stepping up of Pay as was done in Sr.Staff Nurse, Fireman etc.  This will be considered on receiving the details from the INDWF. 

           b)    Revival of abolished posts was taken up with DOP&T but they did not get any reference.  M of D wants matching saving for releasing of Additional Sanction in NIE Cadre proposal is being worked out. 

            

             NG Group

   

    14. On the demand of INDWF, it was agreed by the official side to provide quota on promotions to CMDs, Data Entry Operators and Tracers to Chargeman (T).  91% IEs, 3% DEO, 3% CMDs, 3% Tracer & FED against the 50% promotion Quota.  This will be incorporated in the Draft SRO for obtaining necessary approval.

   

     15. Seniority of Chargeman & JWM.  For JWM Seniority list was finalised circulated.  For the Chargeman, there are about 10500 individuals.  To finalise the seniority a task force has been constituted, by July 2013 the list will be finalised after receiving the report.

   

  16. Promotion for JWM was finalised, left our seniors will be reviewed by review DPC and orders will be issued.

   

  17. Cadre Review committee report will be presented to OF board and after getting Board views, it will be placed to Staff side.  

   

   18. For Chargeman through LDCE, Degree qualification approved by UGC and for Diploma, AICTE approved will be criteria to decide the level of qualification.

  19. For forwarding the application for outside employment, PH, SC/ST candidates, it has been agreed and finalised.  For JWMs, OF Board is Appointing Authority.  For others, GMS are made competent to decide.  Draft guidelines are prepared on this.

    20. To increase the strength of JWM (NT), Office Supdt, a proposal will be taken up with UPSC.

    21. For creating promotional opportunities to Storekeeping Staff, Cadre Review proposal was submitted to M of D as a long term benefit.  For immediate relief, no further action is made as it does not become feasible to divert the vacancies form other stream.

   22. CMDs, Stenographers, Direct Recruitment agreed to consider releasing the vacancies.

   23. For Direct Recruitment of Posts, a comprehensive guideline will be prepared by OF Board and will be distributed to Factories to follow uniformity in respect of advertisement, scrutiny, conducting of Test, level of preparing questions etc.

  

  24. Durwan shortage in Factories, M of D agreed to consider increasing the sanction.  But for immediate Relief outsourcing will be done.  For Direct Recruitment, a case file will be submitted to M of D for approval.

    25. For HS I and MCM promotion, yearly two times, DPC will be conducted and the promotions will be released instead of now conducting yearly once.

    26. Group ‘D’ employees and Labourers who were appointed as CMDs, their services will be counted from CMDs for the purpose of ACP/MACP treating this as appointment and not as Fast Track Promotion.

 Yours Sincerely,

(R.SRINIVASAN)
