DY OFFICE SUPDT - ONE TIME INCREMENT - IF deprived, represent to the Chairman, CBEC

Dear DOS of CE & Customs,
If you are deprived of one time increment benefit, then represent to the Chairman, CBEC for it with copy to Ministerial Federation for taking up the issue with the Board.   Here is my representation.   You may customise according to your position and represent.   Givenbelow:-

From

Deputy Office Superintendent,

To

The Chairman,

Central Board of Excise & Customs,

New Delhi. (Through proper channel)

Respected Sir,

Sub: One time increment – Deprival of benefit to Deputy Office Superintendents due to

non-acceptance of Revised Option - Request for issue of orders/instructions –

Regarding.

---

I would like to humbly bring the following for issue of necessary orders/instructions to enable Deputy Office Superintendents like me to get the benefit of one time increment for which order has been issued vide Office Memorandum No.10/02/2011-E.III/A dated 19^th March, 2012 of Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, New Delhi granting One time increment for those who had their increment from February 2006 to June 2006 prior to implementation of 6^th Pay Commission recommendations (copy enclosed as Annexure-I).

2. I was working as DOS Level-II and my increment month was April, prior to merger of DOS Level-I & DOS Level-II. In order to get the one time increment benefit, I had given Revised Option citing letter F.No.A-26017/131/2008-Ad.IIA dated 15^th December, 2009 (copy enclosed as Annexure-II) of Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, New Delhi which had permitted revision of option on implementation of 6^th Pay Commission recommendations.

3. Based on the revised option given by me, the Pay Fixation Statement & Arrears Bill was sent to PAO, Central Excise, Chennai. But the same has been returned that my case is not covered under One time increment order dt.19.3.2012 (copies of Bill Return Memos enclosed as Annexure-III).

4. On merger of DOS Level-I & DOS Level-II, pay fixation was done granting the benefit of merger w.e.from April, 2006 prior to implementation of 6^th Pay Commission. 6^th Pay Commission being an unforeseen event, the revision of option for Dy. Office Superintendents was allowed by the Board vide letter dated 15^th December, 2009 on the grounds that if revision of option has resulted from Notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, a Govt. Servant may be allowed to revise the option for fixation of pay within one month from the date of issue of the OM dated 29.1.2009 and all the Cadre Controlling Authorities were requested to take necessary action in terms of aforesaid OM dated 29.1.2009.  Since revision of option was permitted vide letter dated 15^th Decmeber, 2009, I exercised for revision of option as getting pay fixation on 20.9.2005 itself was beneficial to me, but only till grant of one time increment.    Now, one time increment which is an unforeseen event has occured, I have again given revised option to avail the benefit.   But, the same has been returned by the PAO though Pay fixation was made and arrears bill was prepared.   It is to be stated here that I would not have revised my option at all (as per letter dt.15.12.2009), if one time increment benefit was in place on pay commission's notification itself.    Since it is a new development but one of the benefits of 6th Pay Commission, I have given revised option which is not being accepted by the PAO.    Denial of such benefit which is an unforeseen event, does not render any justice.  

5. Though one time increment is one of the benefits of 6^th Pay Commission which has been announced only now and the order dated 15^th December, 2009 covers it by default, it is not being accepted by PAO. Denial of revision of option is not justified in view of the unforeseen circumstances and I am deprived/denied of genuine opportunity for no fault of mine.

8. I would like to further add that mine is not an isolated case and there are many Dy. Office Superintendents similarly placed persons spread through out the Department in all Commissionerates who have been deprived of and denied the benefit due to non-acceptance of revised option.

10. In view of the above submissions, I request for issue of necessary clarification/order with regard to letter dated: 15^th December, 2009 to enable submission and acceptance of revised option, which is solely due to unforeseen circumstances/event i.e., one time increment which is one of the benefits of 6^th Pay Commission granted w.e.from 1.1.2006.

I shall be so grateful for doing the needful in this regard.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
