REQUEST TO DROP THE PROPOSAL OF DOWNGRADATION OF NILAKKOTTAI HO

Ref: P/2-19/Dindigul Dated – 13.05.2011

To,
Smt. Shanthi Nair
Chief PMG
Tamilnadu Circle
Chennai – 600002
Madam,

Sub: - Request to drop the proposal of downgradation of Nilakottai HO – Dindigul division.                                                         
Ref: - This union letter of even no. dt. 26.11.2010
                                              ...............
Apropos reference, it is brought to our notice that the regional administration is once again pursuing the proposal of down gradation of Nilakottai Ho which will cause hardship to the officials and existing arrangements.

Nilakottai HO is having 16 sub officers including Kodaikonal and 111 BOs. There was a proposal earlier to transfer six post officers from Dindigul HO to Nilakottai HO considering the geographical proximity like officers at Chinnalapatti, Gandhigram, Kannivadi, Ponjampatti, Atur, Ambathurai R. S. etc.

If the abovesaid proposal is considered, it will justify the HOs existence and serve better to those offices under the HO.

It is therefore requested to kindly intervene and cause instructions to drop the proposal forthwith and ensure status quo.
Soliciting favourable consideration.
With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

Sir,
Sub: - Irregular interpretation on grant of 50% Minimum Pay & Grade Pay to the
          pre 2006 pensioners – Case of Tamilnadu Circle – request clarification
                                                    ...........
It is brought to our notice that the Accounts officer, regional office Madurai has disposed the representation made by five retired officials of Dindigul Division retired prior to 2006 stating the no dispensation can be made in respect of pre 2006 pensioners for the application of the provision of para 04.02. of the Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pension OM No. 38/37/08-P & PW (A) dt. 11.02.2009.

It is pertinent to mention that the DOPT vide its clarification of the said OM Dated 11.02.2009 categorically clarified that the benefits of the said OM is applicable to the pre 2006 pensioners also and in no case, it shall be lower than fifty percent of the minimum of the pay in the pay band plus grade pay corresponding to the pre revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired.

However, this provision has not been extended to the pre 2006 pensioners, in Tamilnadu Circle due to the objections raised by the Accounts officer, RO Madurai.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause necessary clarifications for that effect and ensure implementation of the spirit of DOPT orders.
Soliciting response,
Yours faithfully,
