questionnaire to be given to CPC

VII CPC QUESTIONAIRE  & SUGGESTIONS

1.      Many posts in lowest Group ‘D’ and group ‘C’ are merged by vi cpc and minimum qualification also raised.  i.e. MTS minimum qualification 10^th Std. or ITI certificate and LDC  12^th Std. plus computer etc.  Hence MTS  be treated as  unskilled and lowest posts in Group ‘C’ – LDC onwards semi-skilled.  Pay of lowest functionary and Secretary level posts may be determined in the ratio of 1:8, presently it is 11.43, and the gap between the lowest grade employees higher grades be reduced.

1.2.  Instead of merely placing on conventional pay scales semi-skilled/skilled workers and professional engineers/scientists engaged in hazardous duties be given special pay package.

2.1.  Government jobs and private jobs are not comparable as the first one is service oriented and second one is profit oriented.

2.2           There may not be wide gap between the wages of similarly placed Govt. Sector and Private Sector employees.

2.3           The concept of performance based pay in private sector can be workable but it is difficult to introduce in Govt. Sector.

3.1 & 2.  With the introduction of contributory pension scheme in 2004 talented youths are reluctant to join in Govt. service.  To attract such talents statutory pension scheme be reintroduced.

5.3: No. Uniform should be in uniform manner.  Higher achievers can be awarded with Special Pay or Cash award  or additional increments.

5.4 .  Present system of MACP requires some changes.  Irrespective of the higher posts 3 up-gradations under MACP are given at present.  There should be 4 upgradations ie, 8/16/23/30.  This will boost the morale of the employee.

6.        Higher achievers can be compensated with Special Pay/additional increments/lump sum grant etc.

7.        Usually Central Govt. employees are having all India transfer liability and subject to lot hardships on change of place of posting after completion of every tenure and cannot be comparable with State Govt./local Municipal Body employees.

Suggestions for Stenographers cadre:  VI CPC recommended for treating stenographers in field offices and Central Secretariat equally.  Govt. also accepted parity upto the level of PAs in both field and CSSS cadre.  But it has not been implemented.  There should not be different cadre in stenographers. All benefits and promotional avenues entitled to CSSS cadre should be given to subordinate office stenographers.  The qualification for further recruitment to Stenographer Grade-II(entry grade) may be enhanced to Graduate and  recruitment be made along with graduate level examination.
