MAIN ISSUE BEFORE CWC

One thing is certain: the IP GP issue is being scrutinized by our members very closely and it should be because all are concerned about its impact. I am sure it is in the forefront of their minds as well. Everybody knows what it means and how difficult it is for us to obtain. Always crisis or problem exists when a barrier prohibits in achieving a goal. In order to make the problem solving method easier we can divide the solving method in different stages. At least for now we should leave this issue for discussion in the Patna CWC. Moreover it is at the final stage in the Hon'ble court of Law and we should wait for its outcome. I do not think that our directorate will be able to solve it even if the proposal to surrender the Gazetted status as offered by GS is given because no one in the Directorate is serious about solving our problems. It is not easy to get higher GP from our Directorate. So CAT case is the hope. Moreover merger of IP & ASP under nomenclature of ASP as proposed by GS is not possible without approval of Ministry of DOPT and Finance because:

ü  Recruitment rules for ASPs are not available. First, these will have to be framed. However, ASPs can be possibly merged to IPs after withdrawing Gazetted status under the nomenclature of Inspector Posts.

ü  Before this merger ,the approval of DOPT will be required to withdraw the Gazatted status where financial implications will have to be chalked out afresh. It will have to be seen who will dare to own responsibility when the question of granting Bonus to ASPs on merger will arise.

ü  Direct recruitment element has to be worked out afresh owing to merger of two cadres.
