Dear Comrades,
LDC-UDC ISSUE: Deputy Secretary JCA writes to Under Secretary CS-II, DoPT
Dear friends,
I
am posting a letter addressed to Shri K Suresh Kumar, Under Secretary,
CS II Section, DoPT returning the proposal for the upgradation of Grade
pay of LDC and UDC on the ground given therein. This letter was not
attached with the original documents while returning the case to the
Association by the CS II. Shri Bipin Kumar Pandey has obtained this
letter through RTI and forwarded to me through e-mail.
In
para II it is stated that no anomaly item related to the upgradation of
the grade pay of LDC and UDC is pending with the National Anomaly
Committee. The matter was discussed with Shri S.K. Vyas, who
representing the Confederation in the National Anomaly Committee. Shri
Vyas has informed me that 11 additional items including item related to
the LDC & UDC, have been admitted for discussion in the National
Anomaly Committee. Shri Vyas further said that the assurance of taking
up these items in the final meeting of the National Anomaly Committee
was given to the Staff Side. But any initiative to conduct the final
meeting of the NAC has not been come up from the side of the Government.
Thus the statement given by the Deputy Secretary (JCA) is not in match
with the statement of Shri Vyas, Member NAC.
It
is to be noted that in Para IV the Deputy Secretary suggested the CS II
to take up the upgradation work of the Grade pay of LDC & UDC in
consultation with the Department of Expenditure which itself speak the
genuiness of the issue.

Dated the 14th August, 2013
Office Memorandum
Sub: Upgradation of Grade Pay of LDC and UDC in the Administrative branch of Government of India Offices.
The
undersigned is directed to refer to CS II ID No. 25/2/2013-CS. II (B)
dated 13/08/2013 relating to PMO ID No. 4/3/2013-PMP4/67682 dated
15.07.2013 on the subject mentioned above.
It
is noted that the General Secretary of All India Association of
Administrative Staff (NG) has demanded revision of Grade pay of LDCs and
UDCs in the Administrative branch of Government of India. This is not
an issue of anomaly and no such item was before the National Anomaly
Committee.
In
this regard it may be noted that the Sixth Central Pay Commission had
recommended a hierarchical structure and revised pay scales for the
Central Secretariat in Para 3.1.9 of its report. A similar
recommendation in respect of Non-Secretariat Organization had been made
in Para 3.1.14 of
the report. Sixth CPC has granted parity in hierarchical structures and
revised pay scales to posts existing in the Central Secretariat and
Non-Secretariat Organizations up to the level of Assistant. Accordingly,
Sixth CPC granted identical revised pay structures to LDCs, UDCs and
Assistants both in Central Secretariat and Non-Secretariat
Organizations.
Accordingly,
the demand of the All India Association of Administrative Staff(NG) for
the revision of the Grade Pay of LDCs and UDCs in the Administrative
branch of the Government of India is required to be considered by the CS
II Division (which deals with the LDCs and UDCs of CSCS) in
consultation with the Department of Expenditure who are the nodal
Ministry in respect of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. JCA Section has
no role in this issue.
This reference in original is accordingly returned to CS-II Division for action as appropriate.
