Department of Personnel & Training

Proceedings of the two interactive Sessions on 14th December. 2010 at 10:30 AM and 03:OO PM in Room No.72, North Block, New Delhi in connection with e-service book

The Interactive Sessions of nodal officers on e-Service Book implementation was held on 14 12.2010 at 10:30 a.m. & 3.00 p.m. in Room No.72, North Block, New Delhi under the Chairpersonship of JS(Estt.), Ms. Mamta Kundra. The officials of this Department and NIC besides the representatives from the Ministries/Departments attended the session.

2. Smt. Simmi Nakra, Director, Department of Personnel & Training, welcomed all the participants to the Interactive Sessions. The background of the e-service book project was explained to them and the benefits of the system were outlined. It was stressed that employee profiles may be generated and employee feedback may be recorded. The participants were advised to start current entries in the e-service book format alongwith the previous entries, which could be taken care of in a phased manner by them. This would ensure that the e-Service Books become current quickly. The Joint Secretary (Establishment), Ms. Mamta Kundra, essayed that the basic objective of the Sessions was to seek suggestions and feedback on the issues related to e-Service Book. She stressed upon the importance of service book for the employee and how the e-format would be beneficial in facilitating quicker implementation.

3. The participants were also apprised of the MIS reports generated from the
system. A brief was given to the participants with regard to the requirements for the Plan Scheme and they were requested to send the information as sought in the Questionnaire and prescribed proforma immediately. Shri G. K. Gaur, Sr. Technical Director, NIC, gave a brief presentation on the responses to the questionnaire and proforma received from some Ministries. He stressed upon the fact that his sample was too small to reach to some definite conclusion. It was therefore requested that remaining Ministries/ Departments may immediately forward their responses for better appreciation of the issues.

4. During the discussion various issues were raised by the participants. The
representative of Ministry of External Affairs, Shri Arun Kumar Chatterjee,
highlighted the security angle of the service book data. He requested the NIC to look into this aspect to ensure that the data may not be fiddled with. He aiso highlighted the specific issue of frequent postings abroad in case of MEA officials and associated maintenance of their service records. It was also mentioned that the Service Books of the officials joining the mnistries from outside Delhi are manual service books compared to e-Service Book here and again after completion of their tenure they would have to be provided with manual service book. It was informed that the purpose of the Plan scheme is to introduce e-Service Book throughout the Government in a phased manner and hence all employees will be covered in due course.

5. Some of the suggestions received during the session include:

    • The ‘Help Desk’ has to be more proactive. A ‘Call Centre’ type help desk was suggested.
    • Details of spouse, such as working or not working, place of work, date of birth, etc., may be added in the parameters to enable the user Ministry to have firsthand knowledge of status of spouse.
    • Name & designation of the employee should be reflected automatically on all pages once the service book is opened.
    • Service verification page is not user friendly. Mostly the Drawing & Disbursing Officer furnishes a certificate and on the basis of it service is verified as qualifying service or otherwise. Further discussion was held on the issue of verification. NIC was requested to devise a proper system for verification of the data as there is no provision of digital signature.
    • LTC field is not restricted to one of the members of the family but instead names of all the members furnished in the family details are reflected.
    • There needs to be some arrangement for e-service book to be sent electronically to the Pay & Accounts division for issuing “Qualifying Service” Certificate as well as at the time of settlement of retirement benefits.
    • The leave format in the e-service book needs to be simplified and made more users friendly. At present it is just the replica of physical service book. The balance of leave does not reflect automatically. The previous account of leave is also not reflected. It was also decided to look at the leave format in the physical service book.
    • Information entered in any field cannot be deleted. It was clarified by NIC that information once fed cannot be deleted. Only new information can be added

6.The participants were requested to intimate change of Nodal Officer/administrative oficers/officials immediately for the security and authenticity of the data. They were informed that MIS reports generated with a perspective and the access to these would be provided to JS and above level officials in the Ministry, If the need for generation of some more reports was felt, the concerned Ministry may inform DOPT. It was also stressed that any other issues or suggestions which could not be highlighted in the Session could be mailed at [email protected].

7. The Ministries/Departments were requested to furnish the Questionnaire and Proforma A & B, including information in respect of attached and subordinate offices, at the earliest. For updated infomation on e-service book, the webpage, viz., persmin.gov.in/esbl23/html is required to be seen from time to time by the Ministries/Departments.

The Session ended with a vote of thanks

A large number of references were received from various Ministries/ Departments and service Associations regarding stepping up of pay of senior Assistants/PAs of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) /Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service (CSSS) promoted prior to 01.01.2006 and drawing less pay than Assistants/PAs of CSS/CSSS promoted after 01.01.2006.

Department of Personnel & Training may please refer to their File No.7/7/2008-CS.I(A) regarding the manner in which pay of Assistants/PAs is to be fixed consequent upon the grant of revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to them on the basis of this Department’s O.M. dated 16.11.2009.

2. The matter has been considered in this Department in the light of the points raised by DOPT (CS Division) at pre-page and also clarifications on similar lines sought by certain other cadre controlling ministries of Services covered by this Department’s O.M. dated 16.11.2009. Based on the points raised, the following clarifications are issued for guidance: –

Point raised Clarification
(a) The manner in which pay of Assistants/ PAs in position on 1.1.2006 is to be fixed as per the provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. Whether there will be any bunching in this case. The pay in the pay band of Assistants/PAs working as on 1.1.2006 will be fixed with reference to the fitment table of the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.5500-9000 annexed with this Department’s O.M. No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30th August, 2008 and they will be granted the grade pay of Rs.4600. Since the minimum pay in the pay band in the revised pay structure corresponding to the stage of Rs.5500 (pre-revised scale of Rs.5500-9000) is more than the minimum of the pay band PB-2 i.e., Rs.9300, no benefit of bunching is admissible in this case.
(b) The manner of fixation of pay of officials promoted as Assistants/ PAs before 1.1.2006 but who have given option for pay fixation w.e.f. 15.9.06 w.r.t. pre-revised scale
of Rs.6500- 10500.		 In the case of those Assistants/PAs who were already working as Assistants/PAs as on 1.1.2006, but who had given option for pay fixation w.e.f. 15.9.2006 with reference to the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500, their pay will be fixed as per their option by determining their pay in the pay band with reference to the fitment table of the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 annexed with this Department’s O.M. No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30th August, 2008. In such cases, they shall not be entitled for arrears of pay from 1.1.2006 till the date of option.

However, if fixation of pay as per this option is no longer beneficial for any particular employee, he may be allowed to revise his option without referring the matter to Department of Expenditure.
(c) The manner of  fixation of pay of officials promoted as Assistants/ PAs between
1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008		 In the case of Government servants who were promoted as Assistants/PAs between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008, their pay will be fixed as per the option exercised by them. In terms of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, they have the option to (i) either have their pay fixed w.e.f. 1.1.2006 with reference to the lower scale which they were holding as on 1.1.2006, or (ii) from the date of promotion which took place after 1.1.2006; in such cases, their pay will be fixed with reference to the fitment table of the higher pay scale, however, they- will not be entitled to arrears of pay from 1.1.2006 till the date of option.

Accordingly, in the case of officials who were promoted as Assistants/PAs between 1.1.2006 and 31.8.2008, they have the option to have their pay fixed w.e.f. 1.1.2006 with reference to the pre-revised scale of the lower grade i.e. UDC/Steno ‘D’. In such cases, on the date of their promotion, their pay will be fixed by granting them one increment in the pay band (subject to the minimum pay in the pay band being Rs.9300) and grade pay of Rs.4600.

Alternatively, they can opt to have their pay fixed from the date of promotion with reference to the fitment table of the upgraded pay scale i.e. pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500, in which case, they shall not be entitled to arrears of pay from 1.1.2006 till the date of option.
(d) The manner of fixation of pay of officials promoted as Assistants/ PAs between on or after 1.9,2008. In the case of UDCs/Stenographers Gr.D promoted as Assistants/PAs on or after 1.9.2008, their pay will be fixed by granting them one increment in the pay band (subject to the minimum pay in the pay band being Rs.9300) and grade pay of Rs.4600.

3. Insofar as the point raised by DOPT regarding the difference between the pay of Assistants!PAs directly recruited in the Central Government on or after 01.01.2006 and the revised pay of those Assistants/PAs who are already serving on 1.1.2006, it is clarified that the pay of those Government servants who joined the Government as direct recruits on or after 1.1.2006 is to be fixed as per Section II, Part `A’ of the First Schedule to the CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. This provision of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 and the procedure of pay fixation are based on a specific recommendation of the Sixth Pay Commission, which has been accepted by the Government. As far as pay fixation in respect of those Government servants who were already in service on 1.1.2006 is concerned, their revised pay will be fixed in the manner indicated above. Further, in this context, it needs to be noted that the revised pay structure comprises grade pays and running pay bands and in the case of those Government servants who were already in service before 1.1.2006, Sixth Pay Commission has not prescribed a minimum pay in the running pay band with reference to the minimum entry level pay prescribed for direct recruits appointed on or after 1.1.2006. Accordingly, as per the provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, pay of those Government servants who were already in service on 1.1.2006 can not be fixed with reference to the, pay of those who joined the Government as direct recruits on or after 1.1.2006. However, stepping up of pay can be considered in cases where a Senior Government servant is drawing lesser pay than his directly recruited junior borne on the same gradation list.

4. Further, it is noticed that DOPT proposes to issue a separate order on the subject of grant of pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to Assistants of Central Secretariat Service. In this connection, it is intimated that generally the Government issues only one Order regarding modification in pay scales of a particular category of Government servants. In the present case, since Department of Expenditure has already issued an O.M. on the subject of grant of pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to Assistants and Personal Assistants of CSS and CSSS respectively, there does not seem to be any need to issue another Order ,.on the same subject. Internal instructions may, however, be issued on matters like manner of fixation of pay, etc.

5. This issues with the approval of Joint Secretary (Per).

Railways to Switch to ‘Five’ – Digit System for Numbering all its Passenger Carrying Trains from Tomorrow

By
igeadmin
-
In a significant move to make the train numbering system of passenger carrying trains of Indian Railways more scientific, logical, uniform and computer-friendly, Ministry of Railways has decided to use ‘five’ – digits for numbering trains, in place of the existing ‘four’- digit numbering system. The new ‘five’- digit numbering system of trains will come into effect from tomorrow.

To make the transition smooth and simple under the new scheme, only a prefix of the digit ‘1’ (one) will be added to the ‘four’- digit numbers of the existing trains which would cover all scheduled and regular express/mail and superfast trains including the Durontos, Yuva Trains, Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express, Jan Shatabdi Express, Garibrath Express, Sampark Kranti Express and all category of trains that have a mail/express character during any part of their journey. The names of the trains are not being changed/modified. All the numbers will be converted to the new ‘five’ – digit system by simply adding a prefix of digit ‘1’ to the existing ‘four’-digit numbers

The special trains run by the Railways to clear holiday/festival rush etc. shall be numbered on the pattern of the mail/express trains except that they shall have the prefix of digit ‘0’ (zero). This shall apply to all special trains, whether superfast, express or passenger train in character, running between any pair of destinations. This numbering scheme shall also apply to special trains run on Full Tariff Rates (FTR) basis. The passenger trains and the suburban trains are also proposed to be renumbered and brought under this new ‘five’- digit system and separate notifications for such changes will be issued by the respective zonal Railways.

The introduction of the new system covering all kinds of passenger carrying trains run by Indian Railways will lay scientific and logical basis for numbering of trains on all India basis for all the trains which was earlier confined to express trains only, enabling better dissemination of information to the public. The new system will go a long way in monitoring the movement of trains more effectively on all India basis and in facilitating dissemination and management of train information more scientifically benefiting the public/customers. This major initiative will create a unique “train number” which will be a national level identity for each train and will cover all the passenger carrying trains running in the Indian Railways network.

Five digit train numbering scheme has become necessary in view of the four digit numbering scheme having got exhausted as Indian Railways runs more than 10 thousand trains every day. Need has also arisen to integrate the passenger and suburban train services in various information systems such as Control Office Application, Passenger Reservation System and other software applications.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme for the Central Government Civilian Employees – Clarification regarding.

A joint committee is set up to examine the anomalies pertaining to the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) vide Department of Personnel & Training O.M.No.11/1/2010-JCA dated 03-05-2010.

2. During the joint committee meeting it was pointed out by the Staff Side that the word ‘new organization’ of the last line of para 24 of Annexure-I of MACPS dated 19.05.2009 was not in consonance with the spirit of the Scheme. The issue has been examined and it is clarified that in case of transfer ‘including unilateral transfer on request, regular service rendered in previous organization / office shall be counted alongwith the regular service in the new organization / office for the purpose of getting financial upgradation under the MACPS. However, financial upgradation under the MACPS shall be allowed in the immediate next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of revised pay bands as given in CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. Para 24 of MACPS stands amended to this extent.

3. The Staff Side also raised an issue on the ‘benchmark’ for MACP as given in para 17 of Annexure-I of MACPS dated 19.05.2009, which provides that the financial upgradation would be on non-functional basis subject to fitness, in the hierarchy of grade pay within the PB-1. Thereafter for upgradation under the MACPS, the benchmark of ‘good’ would be applicable till the grade pay of Rs.6600/- in PB-3. The benchmark will be ‘Very Good’ for financial upgradation to the promotion to the grade pay of Rs.7600 and above. It was pointed out that in some cases the promotion to the next higher grade was made on the basis of ‘fitness’ as the method of promotion as specified in the relevant recruitment rules, was ‘non-selection’. Therefore, such cases benchmarks should not be insisted upon under the MACPS. The issue has been examined and it is clarified that where the financial upgradation under MACPS also happen to be in the promotional grade and benchmark for promotion is lower than the benchmark for granting the benefits under MACPS as mentioned in para 17 ibid, the benchmark for promotion shall apply to MACP also.

4. All Ministries/Departments may give wide circulation to the contents of this O.M. for general guidance and appropriate action in the matter.

Office Memorandum

Subject: Consolidated guidelines on cadre review of Central Group ‘A’ Services.

The undersigned is directed to say that provisions governing the process of cadre review of Central Group ‘A’ Services are contained in various Office Memoranda issued by the Department of Personnel and Training and the Department of Expenditure. As a part of this Department’s endeavour to keep the personnel policies relevant to current and future needs, these provisions have been reviewed in consultation with various stakeholders and it has been decided to issue a consolidated and revised set of guidelines on cadre review. The revised guidelines are given below. Besides, the broad issues concerning cadre review have been elaborated in the revised Monograph on Cadre Review of Central Group ‘A’ Services enclosed herewith. The list of existing Central Group ‘A’ Services is at Annex-I.

2. Formulation of Proposal

(i) The proposal would be formulated, to the extent possible, in consultation with the representatives of service association (s). While drafting the proposal, all issues like expected changes in the Organization’s activities, automation, amendment in the business processes, recruitment planning, plugging the skill gaps, cadre structure, career progression, financial implications etc. must be analyzed and made part of the proposal. These issues and their impact on cadre structure have been discussed in Section-5 and Section-6 of the Monograph.

(ii) Full functional justification for each creation of post/upgradation should be given. A job evaluation exercise may be undertaken for each category of posts so as to ensure that different grades are assigned corresponding level of functions and responsibilities.

(iii) It may be ensured that the cadre review would not have an adverse impact on the feeder grade.

3. Reference to Department of Personnel and Training/Department of Expenditure

(i) The proposal should be referred to Department of Personnel and Training with the approval of Integrated Finance Division and the Minister in charge.

(ii) The Cadre Controlling Authority would also give a certificate that there is no Court Case pending having a bearing on the cadre review.

(iii) The name (s) of contact officer (s) for further/additional information may be clearly indicated in the reference.

(iv) The proposal should be examined vis-à-vis the checklist given in Section-6 of the Monograph to ensure that the proposal is complete in all respect.

4. Financial Implications

(i) The proposal having additional financial implications would be entertained strictly on functional considerations like consistent increase in workload, horizontal expansion in activities etc.

(ii) While calculating the additional expenditure, the impact of Non-Functional Upgradation may be taken into account. The calculation sheet must be enclosed with the proposal.

5. Procedure for cadre review

(i) Every cadre should be reviewed once every five years. The review should be first carried out by the Cadre Controlling Authority, preferably in consultation with the representatives of the service/cadre in question. However, if it is convinced after such a review that no change in the cadre structure is required, the decision should be conveyed to DoPT with the approval of Minister in charge.

(ii) The cadre review proposal would be prepared by the Cadre Controlling Authority in the form of a Note for Committee of Secretaries. DoPT would obtain the approval of Secretary (P) and then refer it to Department of Expenditure for approval of Secretary (Expenditure).

(iii) The Note would then be placed before the Cadre Review Committee by DoPT.

(iv) Based on the recommendation of Cadre Review Committee, the proposal would be submitted for MOS (PP)’s approval. It would then be referred to the Department of Expenditure for Finance Minister’s approval.

(v) The Cadre Controlling Authority would then take approval of Cabinet. The Note for Cabinet should ideally be prepared within a month of the Cadre Review Committee’s approval.

6. Composition of Cadre Review Committee-The Cadre Review Committee would comprise the following functionaries:

(i) Cabinet Secretary Chairman
(ii) Secretary of the Ministry controlling the cadre Member
(iii) Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training Member
(iv) Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure Member
(v) The senior most member of the service/cadre concerned Member

7. Restriction on direct recruitment-

There is a restriction on direct recruitment to the extent that it should not exceed 3% of the total cadre strength.

The authority to relax the condition rests with DoPT. It has now been decided to do away with this restriction. The Cadre Controlling Authorities are, however, advised not to resort to any bulk recruitment as it would create a bulge in the structure leading to stagnation at later stage. This may be kept in view while projecting recruitment planning.
