Subject: Non implementation of the MOD ID No. 11(5)/2009-D(Civ-I)(PC-II) dated 06.07.2016 regarding pay fixation benefit in case of promotion from Master Craftsman to Chargeman(T).

Refer MoD ID No. 11(5)/2009-D(Civ-I)(PC-II) dated 24.08.2017 addressed to this section on the above mentioned subject, copy endorsed to OFB.

2. D(Civ-I)/MoD has forwarded OFB ID No. Per/I/Ol/CR/658/2017 dated 19.07.2017 and AIANGOS L/No.AlANGOs/CEHQ/FGK/17 dated 06.07.2017 and 09.08.2017 on the subject wherein it has been informed that PCA(FyS) Vide their UO. Note dated 09.06.2017, have not agreed to grant the benefit of pay fixation benefit in case of promotion from Master Craftsman to Chargeman(T) as communicated by D(Civ-I)/MoD dated 06.07.2016, till finalization of the revised SRO of MCM and Chargeman(Tech). CGDA, Delhi Cantt to whom the matter was referred by PCA(Fys) for a possible resolution has also confirmed that in the absence of revised Recruitment Rules, promotions to or from grades which were not present earlier, may not be considered as authorised under rules.

3. From the order dated 06.07.2016, it is learnt that the incumbents of the post of MCM (carrying Grade Pay Rs. 4200/-) on their promotion to the post of Chargeman (Grade Pay Rs. 4200/-) as per instructions on the MACP Scheme, are entitled to the pay fixation benefits at the time of grant of financial benefit under the MACP Scheme. This is more so in view of the fact that the provisions of the FR 22(l)(a)(1) are invoked in case of non-functional up-gradations wherein the individual remain in the same post but are granted the next higher grade pay in the promotional hierarchy. In this context, D(Civ-l) has informed that the order issued by MoD vide ID No. 11(5)/2009-D(Civ-I)(PC-II) dated 06.07.2016 related to the subject was issued after due consultation with DoP&T and Ministry of Finance.

4. In view of the above, OFB is requested to convey the above mentioned clarification to the PCA(Fys) so that it may allow the benefit equal to one increment as available on pay fixation under FR 22(i)(a)(1) to the MCM on their promotion to the post of Chargeman/Upgradation under the MACP Scheme.

5. Regarding advice related to amendment of the RRs of the posts of MCM and Chargeman, it is intimated that it is in the process in terms of restructuring order No. 11(5)/2009-D(Civ-I) dated 14.06.2010 wherein MCM Grade Pay was made equal to that of Chargeman.

6. The views of DoP&T and Ministry of Finance on the D(Civ-I)/MOD order dated 06.07.2016 have been arranged and the same are enclosed for better understanding of the case by the PCA(Fys).
