Sub: Request to continue the Special Allowance to PO&RMS
Accountants wef 1-7-2017 itself.
We are organized to realize the
facts of discontinuance of Special allowance to PO&RMS accountants w.e.f
1.7.2017 as per the implementation order of MOF. We submit here with the
following reasons as to why the allowances to PO&RMS Accountants should be
continued on duly taking up the matter with MOF availing the chance given to do
so by the said OM.
The PO&RMS Accountant are on
qualifying in examination were empanelled as separate entity and promoted as
LSG accountants as per the year of passing.
They were placed in the scale of 360-640, above the PA and below the
LSG’s up to 1992. They were not given the TBOP which was implemented from 1993
for the only reason that they were not borne on PA Gradation general line list.
Subsequently when they were doomed to loose the BCR, also the PO&RMS
Accountant were given an opportunity to switch over to general line forfeiting
the scale 360-640 by giving an onetime option/life time option. But owing to
the fact of their qualification in the prescribed examination and a need for to
work in Supervisory nature of duties like fixation of Pay, Posting of Service
books etc.. the PO&RMS Accountant were given a special pay Rs.90/-.
However as this Special pay were
to be taken for fixation of pay while they were granted TBOP/BCR as per various
court orders the special pay was doubled as special allowance during 5th
CPC contemplation and came effective from 1.4.1998. This special allowance
which was granted in lieu of forfeiting a higher scale was continue to be given
and now earmark for abolition.
We are with firm belief that the
allowance if discontinued is nothing but denial of natural justice that has
been accorded to them in the past on the basis of valid and bonafied reasons.
Hence we request you to not to kindly
discard the sprit which the special allowance was allowed and to take up the
matter with MOF in order to ensure the continuance of the same.
Yours Sincerely,
(D Kishan Rao)
