Letter from AGS to Sh. Roop Chand

• To Sh. Roop Chand General Secretary, AIAIPASP HQ New Delhi Subject: Regarding Enhancement of honorarium for Supervisor/Invigilator duties. Sir Our CS on my directions and on the demand of association members of Punjab Circle has taken up some issues relating to IPs/ASPs including the subjected one. The matter was taken up long ago but no action seems to have been taken as yet. Relevant portion on the subject is reproduced as under:- “The IP/ASP put on invigilator duty (mostly on Sunday) is being paid Rs.20/- for one duty subject to maximum of Rs.40/- per day. Whereas the conveyance charges are always more than amount being paid left aside other issues like Sunday duty etc. I request you to take this issue with Directorate to enhance the honorarium equal to, as paid by Staff Selection Commission to the officials engaged for such duties. In case it cannot be enhanced, Directorate should do away with this honorarium as paying Rs.20-40 for invigilator duty is just a joke with IP/ASP.” It is apparent that this item is genuine one and can be considered without interference of any Ministry. Moreover, the Honorarium rates fixed, may be, three decades back are still in vogue , whereas the Invigilators appointed by the Recruiting Commissions are being paid Rs. 500/- per shift per day per examination. Now it is demanded as under:- Designation / Sundays & Holidays /Working Days Supervising Officer /1000 / 750 Invigilator / 750 / 500 Stenographer / 500 / 400 Postal Assistant / 500 / 400 Drivers / 400 / 300 Multi Skilled Employees /300 / 250 The rates should be fixed irrespective of its durations. The rates are very genuine in view of the facts that no TA/DA is being paid for the duty so assigned and no compensatory off is given in lieu of the duty performed on the Holidays. Please take up the matter with Dte expeditiously along with other demands as asked by CS in his letter addressed to you. It will better if copy of letter addressed by you to Directorate is reflected on your BLOGs please. राजिंदर कुमार जोशी Asstt General Secretary & Asstt Supdt Posts West Sub Division Chandigarh – 160017.
