Sub: Upgraded Grade Pay for the post of Lower Grade Clerks/Higher Grade Clerks - regarding.
--------------
Sir,
I am to draw your kind attention towards this Association’s letters addressed to you on the above subject. This Association and the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers, New Delhi have been representing to the Govt. of India for the last several years to enhance the scales of pay of Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. The educational qualification for recruitment to the post of Lower Grade Clerk was raised to Class XII with computer education and typewriting essential, through an amendment in the Recruitment Rules during the year 1994. The Government of India, DOPT has also enhanced the educational qualification for the post of LGC from matriculation to Class XII, after the implementation of the Sixth Centrlal Pay Commission.
As pointed out by us earlier, the duties and responsibilities of the Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks are higher than those of their counterparts in the Central Secretariat Services of the Govt. of India and subordinate offices. Manual of Office Procedure of the central government and that of the A & N Administration clearly reveal that HGCs and LGCs working under the A & N Administration are performing higher nature of duties. As stated by us earlier also, the LGCs and HGCs, being the Dealing Assistants in the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, are required to deal with complicated cases of various kinds and, thus, shoulder higher responsible work.
The Sixth Central Pay Commission and the Govt. of India continued to neglect the Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks even after the Sixth Central Pay Commission. On the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the erstwhile Group D staffs have been brought at par with the Lower Grade Clerks in the Pay Band-1 upgrading them to Group C. When the Group D staffs have been brought to Group C category, the existing employees in the lowest category of Group C should have been upgraded atleast to the next scale of pay.
I would, therefore, once again request you kindly to examine this matter and issue necessary orders upgrading the scales of pay/Grade Pay of Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, treating it as a special case.
