Merger & Upgradation of the posts of LDC & UDC-Reply of DoP&T under RTI Act

Dear friends,
Now DoP&T has replied that they have not taken any initiation for the merger of the posts of LDC & UDC and upgradation of the Grade Pay, whereas the entire clerical staff in the offices of the Government of India were expecting a positive action from the DoPT on the matter. DoP&T says that a portion of the posts of UDCs in the CSSS have been upgraded. By giving this reply they want to mislead us,on the following reasons:

1.The decision for the upgradation of 30% posts of UDC in CSSS has not implemented for the UDCs of subordinate offices, whereas recruitment rules of the LDC & UDC of CSSS & subordinate offices are the same.

2.An average 15 years take place for the promotion of LDC to UDC in the subordinate offices. Thus without upgrading the post of LDC, the benefit of upgradation of 30% UDC granted will not give any benefit to LDCs.

3.The sufferings of LDCs increased many fold after the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission/MACP. Upgradation of the GP of the LDC is the only solution for these genuine problem.

I doubt, DoP&T is willing to upgrade the LDC & UDC of CSSS only. 6th Pay Commission had recommended parity in the pay scale of Assistants but the Government had upgraded the grade pay of the Assistants of CSSS. Now they willing to upgrade the posts of UDC & LDC of CSSS as well. The entire Ministerial Staff of Government of India should raise their voice against this injustice.
