Chairperson's note dated 19.05.2014 regarding implementation of the Cadre restructuring

Message from Chairman-II

Greetings to the officers and staff of the IC&CE. This message is in continuation of my earlier message dated 12.5.2014. As I had mentioned the implementation of the CR has to be taken up in right earnest, but it will require patience and perseverance. I have got a number of communications urging that immediate DPCs be held as officers are retiring every month. There is a lot of anxiety as to how the CR is to be implemented. Through this message I would like to apprise to you all of the steps being taken at CBEC level and also reiterate to you those steps which are required to be taken by Cadre Controlling Authorities (CCAs).

You must have already gone through letter F.No. 8/B/106/HRD(M)/2013 dated 28.11.2013 issued by DG(HRD) giving the details of the 6 committees which had been set up for implementation of the CR. The action to be taken now, flows from the work of those committees.

See also CBEC Cadre Restructuring Order with Annexures

The steps to be taken are as follows:

I. Issue of notification defining the jurisdiction of the reorganised zones/Commissionerates/Directorates. Letters have already been issued to the CCs on 13.5.2014 to recheck and resubmit the notifications to be issued. These notifications are expected to be issued from the concerned wings of the CBEC by 23.5.2014. Sh. S.B. Singh, Member (CX) is monitoring this.

II. (a) Simultaneously, the notification regarding allocation of staff in the various grades for the revised formations have to be issued by AD-W section’ of CBEC. Member (P&V) is monitoring the timely issue of the notification on allocation of staff.

(b) On issue of notification for allocation of staff, all CCAs must work out the vacancy position, update rosters and inform the same within one week to Member (P&V) so that the number of fresh recruitments & category can be intimated to SSC. This is also monitored by Member (P&V).

III. Action for issue of notification for the amendments to various statutes based on revised designations has been undertaken by committee no. V.  Some of the amendments are required to be introduced through Finance Bill since amendments to Act are involved. (Member (B) is monitoring the work of this committee). Other notifications are to be issued by Board. Member (B) would also examine the appropriate timelines for each.

IV. For all the new formations which are to come into existence, location codes have to be given. In addition there would be requirement for providing thin clients, infrastructure such as WAN/LAN etc. These matters are under the domain of Dte. of Systems and is being monitored by me.

V. Immediately after the issue of the notification mentioned in para I & II, infrastructure committee would be working out the requirements for additional space for the new formations and submit their infrastructure proposals (including Budget Requirement) after collecting and vetting the same. Member (CK) would be monitoring this.

VI. There are 2 other important activities. One is the conduct of DPCs for promotions to various grades in Group C and B by the CCAs.

(a) There are large number of cadres in group B 84 C. DPCs can be done in those cadres which do not require any change in RRs. Whereas in some other cases, new RP.s may have to be drafted or amendments may be required to the existing RRs. Member (P&V) would be intimating to the CCAs by 28.5.2014, the RRs in respect of those cadres where no change is required and for which DPCs can be held. This is necessary to ensure that DPCs are conducted in a coordinated manner across all the Zones.

(b) CCAs would recall that vide letter No. 8/B/106/HRD(HRM)/2013 dated 13.2.2014 a format had been prescribed to enable monitoring of APARS by the CCAs. It had been desired that all folders be in readiness by 1.4.2014.  However, reports received from the CCAs indicate that still considerable work is required in some of the zones. It is reiterated that unless folders are updated and all action such as finalization of representations, NRC, vigilance certificate, rosters, etc. are ready, the CCA will not be able to conduct the DPCs. Member (L&J) has been nominated to monitor the readiness of the CCAs for holding the DPC in Group B and C cadres. She would also monitor the conduct of DPCs across all the zones. Member (LBJ) shall take up this action immediately on receipt of the list of RRs cleared by the Member (P&V).

VII. In so far as the promotions of 2118 officers of Group B to Group A is concerned, the zone of consideration would involve the verification and updated status of around 10,000 APARS. Letter dated 23.11.2013 of the DG(HRD) indicates that sub committee no.I of the committee no.II has been given the task of ensuring the readiness of the folders. Member (P&V) is reviewing the work of this committee. It will be the responsibility of every CCA to ensure that the APAR folders are complete and correct in all respects. CCAs may therefore contact the sub committee members to ensure that the folders in respect of group B officers belonging to their respective zones are complete and correct in all respects. Only thereafter, verification would be done by AD.II/JS(Admn.) before forwarding to UPSC. Further update on this shall be given after review. It is reiterated that unless the work of APAR verification is completed it would not be possible to move to UPSC for getting the date(s) for holding the DPC. You would all appreciate that DPC for 2118 officers is quite unprecedented, and one matter which will involve a lot of work for UPSC as well. Hence officers, staff & associations are requested to have patience, cooperate & assist the administration to the maximum so that this major activity can be carried out as smoothly & swiftly as possible.

Chairperson's note regarding implementation of the Cadre restructuring

Implementation of the Cadre Restructuring of the department has been approved by Hon’ble FM on 10.05.2014- Chairperson’s note regarding implementation of the Cadre restructuring

Greetings to the IC&CE family. It is my pleasure to inform you that implementation of the cadre restructuring of the department has been approved by the Hon’ble FM on 10.5.2014. Months of hard work and waiting have finally paid off. The cadre restructuring is late by 7 years, even so there is a cause for happiness as a large number of promotions in different grades can now take place.

However, we have no time to rest as the implementation of the CR requires focus and a lot of hard work.

It is in the interest of the department to have a committed and largely satisfied work force. Stagnation is one of the de-motivating factors in this regard. While CR resolves some of the issues leading to stagnation. it does not address some of the root causes of stagnation. For this we have to take other actions such as amending the RRs, raising the matter before the next Pay Commission etc. Addressing the root of the problem also takes clarity of mind, time, patience and persistence since other Ministries & agencies are involved. It also requires that we remain united at all times. We should be cautious that divisiOns & differences do not derail/side track the process of CR which is in the larger interest of the entire department. Just as a motivated work force is important, credibility of the higher bureaucracy in the department is also equally important and must not be undermined.

Promotions to Group B gazetted and lower posts are to be done by the CCA’s. I hope that ACRs/rosters and vigilance clearances etc. are up to date. I urge all officers, staff and associations of the department to be united and face the challenges of implementation with patience, persistence and a spirit of cooperation. I again thank all of you for your support in carrying through this important work.

Will 7th CPC Add Lustre to the Children Education Allowance Scheme..?

Will 7th CPC Add Lustre to the Children Education Allowance Scheme..? Will 7th CPC Add Lustre to the CHILDREN’S EDUCATION ALLOWANCE & HOSTEL SUBSIDY SCHEME? It was only in the 6th CPC that the CHILDREN’S EDUCATION ALLOWANCE & HOSTEL SUBSIDY was introduced to Central Government employees with new face..! Prior to this, the scheme was being granted in a simple form as Tuition Fees. From Rs. 30 to 40 per month, the scheme was revamped much to the excitement of the Central Government employees, and earned their appreciation.  One could see that the scheme, launched in the nation’s interest and with the intention of attaining higher standards in the field of education and literacy, had succeeded.  Under this scheme, Central Government employees were now eligible to refund the educational expenses of Rs. 1000 per month per child, for two children, adding up to Rs. 12,000 per annum per child. By submitting original receipts for the expenses incurred for the education of their children from Kindergarten, right up to Class XII, the employee could claim a maximum reimbursement of Rs. 12,000 per year. The scheme was applicable for two children, at the most. As a result, Central Government employees began sending their children to only the best schools. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the scheme was a big boon for Central Government employees living in small and medium-sized towns and cities.  In addition to this, a recommendation was made to raise the Dearness allowance by 50% each time, the allowances and advances also revised by 25%. As a result, from 01.01.2011, from Rs. 12,000 per annum, it has increased to Rs. 15,000 each year. And now the Children Education Assistance once again revised by 25% from 1.1.2014. Even though there were some procedural difficulties in implementing these schemes, they were generally welcomed by all. A Glittering Diamond in 6th CPC’s Crown Everybody is eagerly waiting to see how this scheme, which was introduced for the betterment of the future generation, is going to be handled by the 7th CPC.  Let's see the scheme highlights... § Applicable to all Central Government Employees without any pay limit... § Child means, employee's child, wholly depends on the employee... § Reimbursement is admissible only if the children study in a recognized school... § If both(husband&wife) are  working, reimbursement will be allowed to one of them... § Reimbursement is allowed for two eldest surviving children only, accepted in case of multiple birth in second child birth... § Children from nursery to twelth and two years diploma course in polytechnic... § Nursery means, two classes prior to class 1 irrespective of nomenclature... § Even if a child fails, reimbursement shall not be stopped... § Reimbursement of school bags, pens and pencils are not allowed... § Age limit for claiming reimbursement for children is 20 years...  And related orders...
