Four-monthly meeting of the Association was held with Chief PMG on 11.12.2009. Discussions were held on the following agenda:
OLD ITEM:
6-2/2009: Request for supply of a set of FRSR published by M/s Swamy Publications to all Inspectorial Staff.
Brief: Consequent on implementation of 6th CPC Report, FRSR have undergone a lot of changes. The changes have been incorporated in the Compilations of M/s Swamy Publications, Chennai which are used as reference books by Govt. Departments. Inspectorial staff are required to keep themselves updated on the changes on the FRSRs and TA, Leave, Pension Rules etc. for day to day discharge of their duties. It is, therefore, requested that all inspectorial staff in the Circle may kindly be provided with a set of FRSRS, and Compilations on TA, Pension, Leave Rules etc.
Oral Reply: Instruction are to be issued. (Chief PMG was kind enough to accept the request and agreed to issue orders accordingly.)
NEW ITEMS:
1-12/2009: Request for issue of orders for treating the period covered by ad hoc promotion in ASP cadre as regular promotion.
Brief: At present ad hoc promotion is given to IPs to ASP cadre for 11 months with the arrangement of termination of ad hoc arrangement on completion of 11 months. Previously, the ad hoc promotion was allowed to continue beyond a year without any termination arrangement, making the IPs entitled to get increment in the cadre of ASP during period of their ad hoc promotion. IPs while continuing on ad hoc promotion to ASP cadre for more than a year got regular promotion to ASP cadre through DPC and earned increments on completion of 12 months of continuous service in ASP cadre. Now suddenly, recoveries have been made from the salary of the ASPs on the ground that the ASPs are not entitled to increments for the period covered under ad hoc promotion. This is inspite of the fact that uninterrupted service period of ad hoc promotion was followed by regular promotion to ASP cadre. Recoveries so made from the salary of ASPs like Sri A K Rath, ASP I/c Bargarh and Sri P N Dash, ASP Phulbani are not justified. They incurred substantial financial loss by way of not getting the increments in ASP cadre, paying income tax at higher rate on the basis of increments drawn for the ad hoc period and losing the PLB, without any fault on their part. The Association requests for issue of orders to DDOs to refund the recoveries made from the salary of ASPs on this count.

Oral Reply: Orders are there that ad hoc arrangement should not continue for more than a year at a stretch. Ad hoc appointment should have, therefore, been terminated at appropriate time. Ad hoc appointment is regulated as per orders of DOPT and Circle Office cannot do anything in the matter. The affected officials can claim refund of excess Income Tax paid, if any, for the relevant year from IT Dept on the basis of certificate to be obtained from DDOs.
2-12/2009: Request for required amenities and civil maintenance of Inspection Rooms in the Circle.
Brief: Most of the Inspection Rooms in the Circle are in very bad shape and condition without regular maintenance of civil work. In some cases there is even no facility for regular water supply. Case of the IR at Ashoknagar MDG is cited as an example. The Association requests for issuing orders for providing required civil maintenance and amenities in the Inspection Rooms in the Circle.
Oral Reply: IP/ASP of the concerned Sub-Division where IQ/IR exists will be asked to pay regular visits to IQ/IR to report to the Divisional Head concerned to take necessary action if there is any problem with any IR/IQ.
3-12/2009: Request for adoption of uniformity of principle for giving ad hoc promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.
Brief: It is observed that the cases of two senior ASPs (namely Sri K C Ghadei and Sri N K Samal) have been omitted while allowing ad hoc promotion to PS Gr.B cadre. No offer of ad hoc posting has been made to Sri K C Ghadei though there is no disciplinary / vigilance case pending against him. Similarly no new offer has been made to Sri N K Samal who had declined ad hoc promotion in January 2009. The Association requests for adopting a uniformity of principle so that everybody gets a fair chance of getting ad hoc promotion.
