Madam,
Sub: - Grant of Raod Mileage Allowance to Systems Administrators of Chennai City Divisions – regarding
It is brought to our notice that on receipt of Directorate instructions vide No. 17-01/2011-PAP dt. 23.06.2011, the road mileage allowance hitherto granted to system Administrators of Chennai divisions has been stopped and they were brought under conveyance allowance. This has caused resentment amidst the employees and also put to heavy loss since they have to rush to the spots to attend the unforeseen errors and technical snags only by using their two wheelers in the city. Other conveyances are not suitable to attend the faults from time to time.
In the orders cited in para supra under para 2-1, it is clearly stated that the Heads of circle shall determine the nature of Allowance whether conveyance Allowance, Road Mileage Allowance, TA etc can be attended considering the nature of job as they are the competent authorities.
As such, the chief PMG may weigh the role and responsibilities of the Systems Administrators considering their immediate requirement to attend the faults and also sitting late nights to install software, patches etc. and the non availability of public conveyance at odd hours etc.
In respect of System Administrators working in Chennai City divisions, there is every justification to bring them under the purview of Road Mileage Allowance.
It is therefore requested to kindly consider and cause appropriate orders at the earliest applying the Road Mileage Allowance to Systems Administrators working in Chennai City divisions.
A line in reply about the action taken is highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
(J. Ramamurthy)
Circle Secretary
