Respected Sir,
Postal Officers Association intend to refer to Association’s lettersdated 23.08.18 and 17-12-2018 (Copy enclosed as Annex- I & II)requesting directorate for causing necessary orders for grant of Non Functional Selection Grade to PS Group ‘B’ officers on completion of four years of regular services as was granted during 6th CPC recommendation and now same has been extended in all cadres.
No such orders have been passed for Group B officers extending the benefit of Non-functional Grade Pay and fixture benefit of higher responsibility on promotion as required under rule FR 22 1(A) 1 to PS Group B officers. Whereas NFSG orders have been granted to all category of employees including AAO but department is silent for Group B officers.
It is therefore requested to kindly intervene and issue orders to extend the benefit of NFSP to all PS Group B officers on completion of four years particularly who joined after 1-1-2012 so that the members of the Association may not feel discriminated.
With warm regards
Yours sincerely,

No. CHQ/POA/1-29/2017-18 Dated 17.12.18
Sub. Request for grant of Non-functional Grade Pay to PS Group ‘B’ officers on completion of four years of regular service in PS Group B.
Respected Sir,
Your kind attention is invited towards this Associations letter number CHQ/POA/1-22/2017-18 dated 23.08.18 (Copy enclosed as Annex-A) wherein it was requested to issue necessary orders for grant of Non Functional Selection Grade to PS Group ‘B’ officers on completion of four years of regular services as was granted during 6th CPC recommendation and now same has been extended in all cadres. Whereas no such orders have been passed for Group B officers extending the benefit of Non-functional Grade Pay and fixture benefit of higher responsibility on promotion as required under rule FR 22 1(A) 1 to PS Group B officers.
It is retreated that on the recommendation of 7th CPC, Postal Superintendents (PS Group B officers) of DOP have been given upgraded GP of Rs. 5400/- w.e.f 1.1.2016 without withdrawing benefit of NFGP after four years of service in Group B. Apparently benefit of pay fixation as required under Rule 13 of CCS (Revised Pay Rules) 2016 covered under FR 22 1(a) 1 is required to be bestowed on completion of four years of service at level 10. Unfortunately this benefit of NFSG has not been conferred to PS Group officers on completion of four years of regular service. Merely placement in GP of Rs.5400/- without actual pay fixture is against the fundamental rules in view of Rule 13 of CCS (Revised Pay Rules) 2016. As such, it is clear that PS Group B officer has been given GP of Rs. 5400/-( Level 9) as a replacement to Rs. 4800/- w.e.f 1.1.2016 without withdrawing benefit of NFGP after four years of service in Group B that should be at level 10.
In this regards attention is also invited towards Ministry of Finance letter No. 26017/219/2016- Ad.II.A dated 10-4-2017 (copy enclosed as Annex-B) wherein it has been clarified to the revenue department that since 7th CPC recommended only normal replacement pay level for Superintendents so NFSG introduced on the basis of 6th CPC recommendation will continue under 7th CPC regime by replacing the pay structure of pay band and Grade Pay with the corresponding Pay Levels/ Cells in Pay Matrix. As such PS Group B officers are also eligible for fixture of pay on completion of four years of service in Group ‘B’ with corresponding pay levels/cells in Pay Matrix. It is pertinent to mention here that NFSG is being allowed in all the cadres as given in the recommendation of 6th CPC. Hence putting PS Group B officers at disadvantageous and detrimental position by not extending the benefit of NFGP is great injustice.
From the foregoing submissions it unambiguously clear that as given in the various GoI notifications PS Group B officers are eligible for grant of non functional up-gradation after four years of regular service in PS Group “B” by replacing the pay structure of Pay Band and grade Pays with corresponding Pay Levels/Cells in Pay Matrix i.e level 10 with all consequential benefits.
With warm regards

Sub. Issue of orders to grant NFSG to PS Group ‘B’ officers on completion of four years service w.e.f 1-1-2016 as were granted during 6th CPC recommendation.
Respected Sir,
It is to bring to your kind notice that on the recommendation of 7th CPC, Postal Superintendents (PS Group B officers) of DOP have been placed at level 9 in the replacement scale of Rs.5400/- in PB 2 w.e.f. 1-1-2016 which was otherwise given after 4 years of service under 6th CPC with full benefit of pay fixation at that level. Apparently benefit of pay fixation as required under Rule 13 of CCS (Revised Pay Rules) 2016 should also be given to the officers promoted after 1-1-2012 at appropriate level on completion of four years of service. But unfortunately the officers promoted after 1-1-2012 has been debarred from the benefit of NFSG without any logic, reason and rhyme and they have neither given benefit of pay fixation while conferring level 9 on 1-1-2016 nor their pay is being fixed on completion of four years of service.
Your attention is invited towards Ministry of Finance letter No. 26017/219/2016- Ad.II.A dated 10-4-2017 (copy enclosed) wherein it has been clarified to the revenue department that since 7th CPC recommended only normal replacement pay level for Superintendents so NFSG introduced on the basis of 6th CPC recommendation will continue under 7th CPC regime by replacing the pay structure of pay band and Grade Pay with the corresponding Pay Levels/ Cells in Pay Matrix. As such all PS Group B officers are eligible for fixture of pay on completion of four years of service in Group ‘B’ with corresponding pay levels/cells in Pay Matrix. It is pertinent to mention here that NFSG is being allowed in all the cadres as given in the recommendation of 6th CPC. Hence denying this benefit to PS Group B officers those who promoted after 1-1-2012 is great injustice.
Furthermore, non grant of NFSG to Group B officer will create big anomaly as direct recruit inspector with entry level 7 will be directly placed at level 10 with maximum of three up-gradations under MACP as such their meaning to promotion at JTS level will cease the purpose. Whereas the promotional hierarchical level of PS Group B is 9 and as such the given pay matrix will restrict the movement of promotes IPs in level 9 under MACP giving no solace of promotion to PS Group B.Therefore, placement grade for the Superintendents should be that of GP 5400/GP2 and after four years GP 5400/PB3 (the improved one), i.e. Level 9 and Level 10.
It is therefore urged to kindly intervene and issue orders to fix the pay of PS Group ‘B’ officers as given in fundamental rules at appropriated level under NFSG on completion of four years particularly who joined after 1-1-2012 so that the members of the Association may not feel discriminated. The officers joined prior to 1-1-2012 have already enjoyed the benefit of fixture of pay under NFSG.
With warm regards
Yours sincerely,
