Dear Comrades,
D.G. Posts No. 2-13/2009-PCC dated 12 Aug 2011.
The
issue of financial upgradations admissible to the cadre of Wireman of
Postal Building Maintenance Staff {other than those of civil/electrical
wing} under ACP Scheme of Aug, 99 has been examined in this Directorate
in the light of the clarifications given by the DOPT vide OM No.
35034/1/97-Estt (D) (Vol. IV) dated 10.02.2000 under Items No. 2 &
10 and in particular the availability of isolated posts of Electrician
in some Postal Circles of the Department in promotional hierarchy with
no other further promotional avenue.
2.
The issue has been considered and I am directed to clarify that the
mobility under ACPS was prescribed to be allowed in the 'existing
hierarchy' & selection grade allowed to them, if any, which was not a
part of the hierarchy was prescribed to be not counted as promotion for
the purpose of ACPS. Since the selection grade was not a part of the
defined hierarchy for them, the pay scale not being part of hierarchy
was required to be withdrawn and fall in pay resulting out of this was
to be protected by granting personal pay in the aforesaid direct entry
grade to be adjusted against future increments in the light of
clarification on item No. 2. Thereby, at the time of allowing financial
upgrdation under ACP I of Aug, 99 Scheme, direct recruited Wireman was
to be allowed the scale of pay of Rs. 4000-6000 (Pre-revised scale of
pay of isolated posts of Electrician in the promotional hierarchy within
the Department) under ACP-I. Further, a directly recruited Wireman was
to be allowed pre-revised scale of pay of RS. 4500-7000(S-8) under ACP
II {taking into account no further promotional avenue} as per Annexure
II to DOPT OM No. 35034/1/97-Estt(D) dated 09.08.1999.

This issues with the approval of competent authority. The contents of
this letter may be brought to the notice of all concerned.
