Sub: Clarification on pay fixation consequent upon the upgradation and merger of the post of Accounts Officer (Pay Level-09) to Sr. Accounts Officer (Pay Level-10)

This HQrs. AN-VIII section has issued a letter no. AN/VIIN/8210/ RR/SAO/ 2021/p-212 dated 08.08.2023 notifying that in the DAD the posts of Accounts Officer has been upgraded from existing Pay Level-09 to Pay Level-10 and subsequently it has been merged with the post of Senior Accounts Officer.

2. Consequently, the following provisions may please be adhered to while regulating the pay fixation of the affected officers:-

(i) Assumption of higher duties and responsibilities is not involved in the upgradation and merger of Accounts Officer (L-09) with the post of Sr. Accounts Officer (L-10). Therefore, the provisions of Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 and FR 22(I)a(1) are not applicable. i.e. the benefit of notional/ promotional increment is not to be granted.

(ii) The upgradation is not a promotion and no higher responsibilities are involved, therefore. pay is to be fixed as per provision of FR 22(1)a)(2) ie. the officer shall draw as initial pay, the stage of the time-scale (L-10) which is equal to his pay in respect of the old post(L-09) and if there is no such stage, the stage next above his pay in r/o of the old post (L-09) in the upgraded Pay Level-10.

(iii) There is upwards revision of pay scale of the post of Accounts Officer from Pay Level-09 to the post of Sr. Accounts Officer in Pay Level-10. Therefore, FR 22(I)(a)(2), the officer will have an option to be exercised within one month from the date of such appointment, for fixation of his pay in the new post with effect from the date of appointment to the new post or with effect from the date of increment in the old post.

(iv) If the officer chooses to get his pay fixed w.e.f. his date of increment in the old post of Accounts Officer (L-09), as per FR 23, he will retain his old pay until the date on which he has earned his next or any subsequent increment. On the DNI the officer will get his usual increment in the post of Accounts Officer (L-09) and thereafter his pay will be placed in the pay Level-10 (applicable to Sr. Accounts Officer) at the same stage and if there is no such stage the stage next above his pay in Pay Level-09. The option once exercised will be final.

(v) As per FR 23 the holder of a post. the pay of which is changed, shall be treated as if he were transferred to a new post on the new pay. As a consequence of upgradation and merger of Posts of Accounts Officer (L-09) and Sr. Accounts Officer (L-10). the pay of incumbents is changed to L-10 as such they may be treated as if they are transferred to a new post on the new pay. As per FR 22 (1)(a)(2) in cases where pay is fixed at the higher stage, he shall get his next increment on completion of the period when an increment is earned in the time-scale of the new post. Since the qualifying service for earning increments in a post is six months, the officers would be entitled to next increment after six months of qualifying service thereafter they will be granted increment annually.

This issues with the approval of CGDA.

Subject : Clarification regarding admissibility of Night Duty Allowance to FED re-designated to Station Officer.

Night Duty Allowance was admissible to the Fire Fighting staff as per list of categories identified for grant of NDA in accordance to the MoD OM dated 15.03.1990 (copy enclosed). It is pertinent to mention here that among the list of staff identified FED ‘B’ Fire Supervisors have been re-designated to the post of Station Officer with a revised pay level Gand GP 2800 / –

Further, as per DoPT OM No. A-27016/02/ 2017-Estt (AL) dated 13.07.2020. the ceiling of Basic Pay for entitlement of NDA has been upgraded to Rs.43600/- per month.

Since, the list of categories has not been revised w.r.t admissibility of NDA to the Fire Fighting Staff who have been re-designated to the post of Station Officer, it is difficult to conclude whether Station Officer is eligible to get NDA or not.

In view of the above, your views and practice followed in r/o grant of Night Duty Allowance to fire fighting staff ( FED ‘B’) re-designated to Station Officer may please be furnished to this office within 15 days for our better appreciation and enabling this office for further necessary action on the subject matter.

MIGRATION OF OLD DATA INTO SPARSH

1. We have received certain grievances in last few days wherein a message has been received by pensioners from SPARSH. The message talks about generation of pensioner ID and corr PPO against original PPO and pensioners have been asked to login to SPARSH after 24 hr of receipt of the message.

2. However, pensioners have not been provided any login credentials for SPARSH. This has led to unrest and anxiety amongst the affected pensioners. The matter has been referred to SPARSH team at PCDA(P), Allahabad.

3. There could be a technical issue due to which such messages have got triggered. SPARSH team is examining it and is likely to be corrected shortly. It may otherwise be noted that consequent to receipt of migration of pension acct message, the SPARSH login credentials would be generated in due course of time. Pension of Veterans will continue and will not get affected by this. The same has been clarified by PCDA(P), Allahabad.

4. It is for your information that few mandatory data i.e. mobile no, e-mail, Aadhar and PAN of offrs and spouse are directly taken from concerned bank of retirees by PCDA (P), Allahabad at the time of migration to SPARSH. User ID and password are sent to veterans through SMS/e-mail by PCDA (P), Allahabad only after generation of SPARSH PPO.

5. However, after Login, if a pensioner finds that any of above details are not there in SPARSH after migration, he can approach bank to send those details to SPARSH Cell, PCDA(P), Allahabad on email sparsharmyco.dad[at]gov.in with copy to DPCC on e-mail liaison.1986[at]gov.in.

6. During the process of migration/partial migration, password and Login ID will not be issued by PCDA(P), Allahabad and password and login ID, if issued during partial migration, it will be functional only after full migration.
