The brief note on the agenda items sent to the Secretary General is given here-under:  

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION/DECISION IN THE SECRETARIAT MEETING OF THE CONFEDERATION, TO BE HELD ON 22^nd JULY

1.     LDC/UDC ISSUE:

            This Association had sent an appeal to the Prime Minister in the year 2010 on the issue. And the PM’s Office forwarded the same to the DoPT vide PMO letter 4/3/2010-PMP4/158890 dated 18/05/2010 for action. When DoPT has not taken any action till the last year, we sought action taken information of the aforesaid letter under RTI.  DoPT has informed us that no such letter has been received by them. The Association has collected the proof of the receipt of the letter at DoPT from the PM’s Office under RTI.  According to which The Association has again sought information from DoPT on the matter under RTI. But DoPT repeated their earlier reply of not receiving the letter at DoPT. Following this, Association has written a second letter to the Prime Minister, enclosing all copies of the RTI letters, for immediate action.

            This issue has been posted in all the web sites related to the Central Government Employees issue viz. Central Government Employees News, Gconnect, karnmk.blogspot.com, staffcorner.com, gservants.com, govtempdiary.com etc, and posted hundreds of comments by the readers, requesting the Confederation to take up the issue in its own seriousness.

          Meanwhile, Rajasthan State Government has upgraded the grade pay of LDC & UDC to 2400 & 2800 respectively.

            We request the Confederation to take concrete decision in this connection.

(Copies of the correspondence made so far has already been sent to your e-mail id)

2.    Granting of MACP on Hierarchical basis:

            Chandigarh CAT has given judgment in favour of granting MACP on hierarchy basis and the high court of Chandigarh upheld the decision. The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the Government on this issue. This led a photocopy operator to get 2^nd MACP on hierarchy basis.

            By citing this decision, 19 UDCs of defense Department filed a case at Principal CAT for granting MACP on hierarchical basis and the Principal CAT ordered the respective department to grant second MACP Rs. 4200/ i.e. on hierarchical basis to all these UDCs.

We request the Confederation to take a common decision on the implementation of these court judgments to all Central Government Employees affected with the MACP orders, which do not provide hierarchical grade pay.

(Copies of both of the judgments have already been sent to you by e-mail).

            

3.    Recognition of the Association:

            A letter along with its enclosures has already been sent to you on the matter. A copy of the same is again sent herewith. Meanwhile, the CEC meeting of the Association held at Pune on 19^th July has decided to conduct the General Body Meeting in the month of November 2012. In case a favorable decision not received till the General Body Meeting the Assistants will be excluded from attending the meeting as delegates so as to get recognition to the Association. However, the meeting has decided to send letters to the Secretary, Ministry of Statistics by all Units of the Association, demanding the continuation of the existing status since there is no provision for de-recognition of already identified distinct category in the CCS RSA Rules.

          It is requested to please take suitable action at Confederation level to continue the status of the existing Association so that the Assistants including myself may take part in the next General Body Meeting as a delegate.

4. Granting of Rs. 4200/ grade pay to UDCs of subordinate offices.
