Use of Postal Stamps for Payment of RTI Fees not Feasible - DOPT

Press Information Bureau

Government of India

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions

11-March-2015 17:38 IST

Postal Stamps as RTI Fee

The Government has constituted a committee consisting of representatives of Department of Personnel & Training, Central Information Commission, Department of Posts and Office of Controller of Accounts (Department of Personnel & Training) to examine whether postal stamps can be used for payment of RTI fees under the Right to Information Act, 2005. The Committee has given its report on 24.02.2015. The Committee has observed that the use of postage stamps as mode of payment for RTI fee/costs is neither legally feasible nor feasible from the accounting point of view. Moreover, it would not be in line with the Government initiatives towards Digital India. Hence, the Committee has recommended that postage stamps may not be used as mode of payment for RTI fee/costs. The report of the Committee has been accepted by the competent authority.

The Central Government has already launched RTI Online portal for online filing of RTI applications, including online payment of RTI fee/costs. Moreover, the facility of eIPO (electronic India Postal Order) has been launched for purchase of IPOs electronically by online payment.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in Prime Minister’s office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri Dhananjay Mahadik, Shri Satav Rajeev, Dr. Heena Vijaykumar Gavit and Shri Mohite Patil Vijayasinh Shankarrao in the Lok Sabha today

Encashment of 300 days of Earned Leave for Defence and other Industrial employees other than Railways

Encashment of 300 days of Earned Leave for Defence and other Industrial employees other than Railways

Many of our readers have requested to provide the orders and clarifications of DOP&T regarding the matter of 300 Days EL encashment for Central Government Civilian Employees other than Railways

The Industrial Employees other than Railways were not allowed to accumulation of EL upto 300days and it was limited to 120 days before the issuance of order on 07/11/2006. It was a long pending demand of Staff Side Members of National Council JCM to grant of accumulation and encashment of 300 days of earned leave and it was agreed and granted with effect from the date of issue of the order that is from 07th November 2006. The employees those who were retiring on and after 07/11/2006 were unable to encash the Earned Leave to the extent of 300 days since they were restricted to accumulate their EL upto 120 days only. Due to that they couldn’t avail the benefit of encashment of 300 days EL at that time.

This anomaly had been removed after a long struggle and necessary order was issued on 25th September 2008 regarding the issue of shortfall in Earned Leave . To make up the shortfall in Earned Leave it had been decided by the government that in supersession of all earlier orders on the subject, both Earned Leave and Half Pay Leave shall be considered for encashment of leave subject to overall limit of 300 days. The cash equivalent payable for Earned Leave shall continue unchanged. However, cash equivalent payable for Half Pay Leave shall be equal to leave salary as admissible for Half Pay Leave plus Dearness Allowance admissible on the leave salary without any reduction being made on account of pension and pension equivalent of other retirement benefits payable.

Both the orders are given below;

CADRE REVIEW – DOPT

CADRE REVIEW – DOPT

MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS

CADRE REVIEW

Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional requirements of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower projection and recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once ever y five years .

The Department of Personnel and Training, being the nodal Department for cadre review of all Group ‘A’ Central Services/Cadres, has issued various guidelines to facilitate the process. Cadre Review as a subject has been allocated to the Cadre Review Division, which also acts as the Secretariat for Cadre Review Committee constituted to review individual service/cadre. The cadre review proposals are scrutinised in this Division keeping in view the  broad factors like functional requirements, stagnation at various levels, financial implications, measures for saving, organisational proficiency, etc . The proposals are then referred to the Department of Expenditure for financial concurrence and placed before the Cadre Review Committee for its approval. The Division also renders advice to the Cadre Controlling Authorities for better cadre management.

The status of Group ‘A’ Services is reviewed regularly. After first such review this year in April, all the concerned Departments were advised by the Cabinet Secretary to formulate appropriate cadre review proposals. Further, Para 1(ix) of the Government of India, Department of Expenditure Resolution No.1/1/2008-IC   dated 29 August,  2008, whereby its decisions on the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission have been conveyed enjoins upon all the Cadre Controlling Authorities to review the services/cadres under the administrative control within a year. The Cadre Controlling Authorities have been reminded again October 2008.

There are 58 Central Group ‘A’ Services, out of which 44 services are due for cadre review this year, i.e., 2008.  The cadre review proposals of five of the remaining forty four Group ‘A’ Services are already under active consideration. These are Indian

The inconsistencies, if noted during the analysis, are brought to the notice of the concerned Cadre Controlling Authority. This exercise is undertaken on half yearly basis in January and July every year. The data as on 1st January, 2008 has already been compiled and analysed. The detailed report in this regard is also posted on this Department’s website. However, it has been decided that the next analysis would be done only after completion of cadre review of all the services envisaged in the Government’s Resolution mentioned above.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Notional fixation of pay to officers included in the Deputy Secretary Select List 2009 and 2010 reg.

As per DPC guidelines promotions are effective from a prospective date. However, in the case of Central Secretariat Service. Select Lists for the Selection Grade (Deputy Secretary) for certain years got delayed due to protracted litigation over the question of inter-se seniority between the direct recruit and promotee Section Officers.

2. In consideration of the above facts, extending the benefit of notional fixation of pay to CSS Grade I officers on their promotion to the Selection Grade from the lit July of the Select  List year. which is the date for counting approved service in all grade of CSS, was allowed till the Select List Year 2007. 2008 was a no panel year for promotion to the grade of Deputy Secretary. For the Deputy Secretary Select List years 2009 and 2010, no such benefit has been extended.

3 The Office Order issued by CS Division promoting the CSS Grade I officers against 

DSSL 2009 specifically mentioned that the pay and allowances of the officers are to be fixed under FR 22 (1) (a) (i) w.e.f the date of taking over the charge of Deputy Secretary on regular basis. No separate instructions for fixation of pay on a notional basis from 1ST July. of the Select List year in respect of officers who have been included in DSSL 2009 or DSSL 2010 have been issued

4 It has, however, come to notice of this Department that some of the Ministries/Departments have fixed the pay of Grade I Officers of CSS on their promotion as Deputy Secretaries against DSSL 2009 and 2010 notionally with effect from 1/7/2009 and 1ST July. 2010 respectively, which is not consistent with extant rules on the subject and without any specific instructions in this regard by CS Division of DOP&T. All the Ministries/Departments are, therefore, requested to review the cases of fixation of pay of Grade-I officers ( Under Secretaries) of CSS on their promotion to the Selection Grade (Deputy Secretary) against the Select List years 2009 and 2010 and take steps to rectify the pay fixation in those cases where the benefit of notional fixation of pay has been incorrectly extended.

Stepping up of pay of senior member of All India Service vis-à-vis pay of his junior in the cadre

Dated: the 11th January, 2012

To
All Chief Secretaries,
in States/Union Territories.

Subject: Stepping up of pay of senior member of All India Service vis-à-vis pay of his junior in the cadre — regarding.

Sir, 

I am directed to say that references from various State Governments regarding anomalies in the pay of senior members of All India Services vis-a vis pay of their juniors in the cadre who have been promoted to the Service or to a higher grade in the Service subsequent to the seniors, have been engaging attention of this Department.

2. The matter has been examined with reference to the existing instructions of the Government on this subject and it is stated that such anomalies on account of fixation of pay on promotion, including the promotion from State service to All India Services, can be solved by stepping up the pay of the senior member of Service at par with the pay of the junior in the cadre from the date when the anomaly arose, subject to fulfillment of following conditions:

(j) Both junior and senior should belong to the same cadre both in lower and higher grade. In the case of anomaly in the pay of officers promoted from State service to IAS/IPS/IFS in a State cadre, both junior and senior should belong to same cadre in the State Service (lower grade).

(ii) Anomaly must have arisen as a result of fixation of pay either on promotion from one grade to another in IASIIPS/IFS or on promotion from State service to IAS/IPS/IFS, as the case may be.

(iii) Posts in higher and lower grade must be identical and in lower grade senior must not be drawing less pay than junior for whatsoever reasons For example if the junior officer draws higher rate of pay than the senior in the lower post or State service post by virtue of advance increments or on any other account, the above provisions will not be invoked to step up the pay of the senior officer.

Yours faithfully
