Major. Major has made the plea in a letter to Admiral Sureesh Mehta, Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee and the Indian Navy chief, urging him to intervene before the government implements the recommendations made by the pay commission.<BR/><BR/>“The finance ministry is introducing yet another anomaly by lowering the extant of parities of officers of the armed forces, of the Lt. Col. (and equivalent), by retaining them in pay band-3, while raising similarly placed civilian and paramilitary officers to pay band-4,” Major wrote in the letter sent Monday. A copy of the letter was made available to IANS.<BR/><BR/>“It is reliably learnt that civilian and paramilitary officers in the extant pay scales S-24 (Rs.14,300-400-18,300) and S-25 (Rs.15,100-400-18,300) will be placed in pay band-4, whereas the same is being denied to the armed forces officers (Lt. Col. and equivalent) who were already in S-25,” Major said.<BR/><BR/>The IAF chief has pointed that because of this the civilian officers who were in the lower pay bracket (S-24) and were hitherto drawing lesser pay than Lieutenant Colonels and officers of equivalent ranks would now draw a higher basic salary.<BR/><BR/>At present, the India Army, the Indian Navy and IAF have 11,187, 3,528 and 4,216 officers, respectively, of the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and equivalent. <BR/><BR/>“This is not just affecting a Lt. Col. Because of this the pay of Coast Guard’s commandant with 23 years of experience will be equivalent to a Rear Admiral with 30 years of experience,” a senior army official said.<BR/><BR/>The cabinet Aug 14 cleared the revised recommendations of the pay commission, granting huge hikes to five million government employees, with special attention paid to military and paramilitary personnel. <BR/><BR/>According to the government, the revision translates into a 20 percent hike over the 40 percent across-the-board increase the pay commission had recommended.<BR/><BR/>The government promised at least three promotions for defence personnel and civilian employees under the modified assured career progression (ACP) scheme. <BR/><BR/>Civilians will be assured of promotions after 10, 20 and 30 years of service. Junior and non-commissioned officers and personnel below officer rank (PBOR) will be eligible for this after 8, 16 and 24 years of work.<BR/><BR/>The Military Service Pay recommended by the pay commission has been doubled to Rs.2,000 for PBORs and retained at Rs.6,000 for officers up to the rank of brigadiers.<BR/><BR/>Middle level officers - colonels, brigadiers and equivalent - are now placed in the highest pay band of PB-4. Lieutenant generals overlooked for promotion as army commanders due to lack of residual service will get the grade of an army commander.<BR/><BR/>The report of the Sixth Pay Commission, headed by Justice (retd) B.N. Srikrishna, was submitted to Finance Minister P. Chidambaram March 24.<BR/><BR/>It led to protests from both civilian and defence personnel, following which the government appointed a committee under Cabinet Secretary K. Chandrashekhar to study the various demands for financial corrections.<BR/><BR/>The three service chiefs also made a joint representation to Defence Minister A.K. Antony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-86059912878224825692008-08-27T22:31:00.000+05:302008-08-27T22:31:00.000+05:30dear annony...WHAT DO U MEAN BY SUPERSEEDED...NOT ...dear annony...WHAT DO U MEAN BY SUPERSEEDED...NOT MAKING TO NEXT RANK BECAUSE OF NON AVAILABILTY OF VACCANCY IS NOT SUPERSEESION..I GUESS UR ARE FROM ARMY ALLIED SERVICE AND THAT IS WHAT IS UR PROBLEM....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-52545283064804733362008-08-27T20:46:00.000+05:302008-08-27T20:46:00.000+05:30dearif your superseeded ltcols are so capable why ...dear<BR/>if your superseeded ltcols are so capable why do not you post them to regiments which are supposed to have huge deficiencies .why army does not withdraw its officers from ERE appointments .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-65212658124934542082008-08-26T21:08:00.000+05:302008-08-26T21:08:00.000+05:30Dear anonymous,Why don't you wait for AVSC II whic...Dear anonymous,<BR/>Why don't you wait for AVSC II which is likely to be announced on army day early next year.

You are welcome to ask for better promotion prospects within your own departments but you should not really crib about status enjoyed by IAS should not even aspire for that status. The fact that you still do that too using exservicemen and ex-chiefs is merely an expression of rampant trade unionism devoid of any rationale or reason. After all we all gave the exams to get into the IAS but having not made it does not mean that we try to usurp the IAS's status through spurious arguments and ill informed comments about the IAS's dominance, a dominance which in any case stems from the different constitutional and legal roles of these services and not due to anything hatched by IAS officers as a tribe, as the thinking of these contributors seems to be. Demanding status based on length of service is a poor argument....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-48677542987054399012008-08-26T10:48:00.000+05:302008-08-26T10:48:00.000+05:30Why so much of controversy on status here?

When our senior officers know that our Brigadiers work as Directors and Colonels work as Deputy Secretary, while posted in Ministry. Friends they have been deciding status on the basis of highest of the pay scale without counting rank pay and will continue to do so. It is high time we stop thinking about these issues and concentrate on improving our working conditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-33222233262071507572008-08-25T22:47:00.000+05:302008-08-25T22:47:00.000+05:30There is a major problem in the Pay Commission Imp...There is a major problem in the Pay Commission Implementation. Director Level of the IAS on completion of the 12th year (100% make the grade), and other civilian officers in the 13th year have been elevated to the highest Pay Band 4. However, Defence Officers have been denied the same after 13 years of service unless they are promoted to Colonel rank (Only 30% are selected after many more years). Thus, Service beyond this point is unattractive for Lt Cols as they do not reach Pay Band 4 despite putting in more than 13 years of service. Even, if Military service pay is given the defence officers draw about Rs 7500 to Rs 8000 less than his civilian counterparts including the paramilitary forces. Hence, para military forces are more attractive than defence forces post Independence Day.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, after the 15th year Pay Band 4 is available to Para Military Forces, namely Commandants of ITBP, CRPF, Coast Guard etc. Currently Commandant’s rank is equated with Lt Cols, but Commandants draw lesser pay than Lt Cols. <BR/><BR/>As on 15 Aug 2008, IAS directors were drawing Rs 15100 on Promotion. Non IAS Directors, Addl Commissioners, including Commandants etc draw Rs 14300 at the bottom of the scale. The starting salary for Lt Cols is Rs 15100 (which includes rank pay, but remember rank pay was carved out of basic pay and it is basic pay for all purposes) as on 15 Aug 2008. Sadly, Independence Day was chosen by the Committee of Secretaries to erode the defence forces, the very persons who stand for the nation’s independence.<BR/><BR/>Strangely, Sri Krishna Commission had recommended Rs 26280 for the IAS directors drawing Rs 15100. The same amount viz Rs 26280 was recommended for Lt Cols drawing Rs 15100. What has changed now? Post independence day, the Lt Cols are in Pay Band 3 and draw Rs 14000 less than the civilians in Pay band 4. Even if Rs 6000 Military Service Pay is given the services are no longer attractive. Rs 26280 recommended by Sri Krishna Commission, if so differently calculated and applied for the two types of officers, means that the sixth pay commission report itself is flawed and has to be junked. Else these figures should be the same. No wonder the defence forces who have made every sacrifice are cut up.<BR/><BR/>Another component is the grade pay. While logic says both should get the same grade pay it is not so. The civilians draw a higher grade pay!!!!<BR/><BR/>Hence two officers drawing the same basic pay viz Rs 15100 on 15 Aug 08 would draw grossly different salaries. This is a sad day for the nation. <BR/><BR/>Ideally, the ‘Pay in pay band plus grade pay’ for IAS directors and Lt Cols should be exactly the same. Will the government rise above petty interests of a certain section!!!! This is a great problem area for the nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-47755961304784923042008-08-25T17:32:00.000+05:302008-08-25T17:32:00.000+05:30A whole lot of intresting posts there. What I find...A whole lot of intresting posts there. What I find more intresting is the comparision of civil and defence services. Both are right in their own ways, but on the strength of logic alone I tend to appreciate (though not agree completely)with the point of view that we guys in the army do dervive a lot of benefits which are not available to civilians. Some guy here mentioned abt AWES schools/transport/90 days of lve. Here is some food for thought for such gentlemen:<BR/><BR/>1. Every palce that has an AWES funded school has Military personal numbering 5000 at the very least. In most places there would be thrice as many as that. But how many IAS fellas in that same place ? 2 at most. Allied services? ADD 5-6 more. The simple reason that it cannot be replicated by other services is becos you do not have the economies of scale. Pls also remember that these schools are largely self funded after being set up. You guys are welcome to set up ur own schools if u wish. Come to think of it. Why have u not done it already??Speaking of Colleges, yes we do enjoy an advantage but why dont you set up ur own colleges like the numerous group housing societies that u keep floating and acquring concessional land for?<BR/><BR/>2. Did somebody say that we dont need 90 days of lve in these days of incr comn? Be informed then: every govt servent has a 5 days working week. The entire Army (less AHQ) has a 7 day working week.Yes even in peace stns!!You gentlemen get 104 days off a year just on acct of Saturdays and Sundays. We have been provided only 80 out of those 104. Do you still say that 80 days is too much.Then pls let us exchange places!!<BR/>3.If you do not get a house when you are posted to any place what do u do? Hire one and claim HRA( you may still be paying money from ur pocket but at least you have that option). In the case of armed forces, in many places not only do you NOT have accn available , you also not allowed to live outside the cantt.<BR/>3. Wards of Army personnal live without one parent for something like 50 percent of their formative years.Can any amt of MSP make up for that?<BR/><BR/>4. To put everybody's mind at rest we must monetise every facility that we get.So lets go ahead and monetise CSD/ LTC / Rations and whatever else that can be considered a perk.Then as a added measure go ahead and put a negetive monetary value to all our problems like seperation/inability of spouses to work becos of frequency of transfers, lack of housing.If anybody thinks that CTC is any better than the average civil servants after all those calculations I wud like to know how.<BR/>5.And as a final step, if what the army gets is more than it deserves then can someone pls explain why there is de-facto ban on processing applications for retirement/resignation?<BR/><BR/>6. But all that aside , some of the problem lies within the army. Why are we holding on to offrs who don't want to serve? Let anyone who wants to leave go. And then based on our manpower availability start saying "there is only so much we can do, with the present strenghth, not any more" I can say with some degree of confidence that our numbers wud not fall too drastically! There might be a temp spike in the numbers quitting, but for a very short period.Can our bosses take that decision? No!!Everyone wants to bow out smelling of roses. <BR/>So many of us lament the quality of life in peace stations.Long working hours. Shamiana and working party commanders.Much of it is in our own hands to control.Can we say that Sundays are holidays so I don't report to office for routine work which can be done on any working day? We should but we do not.Ultimately a large part of the army life is tough becos we are unable to put our foot down and call a spade a spade.Our wives are treated like serving soldiers, what with detailments for ladies meets and so called welfare meets.But thats not something that the govt wants out of you.All this is happening to pander to the egos of our top echlon.Should we really want MSP for poor quality of life in peace stns which is of our own making?<BR/>7.BTW , that is only one facet of life in a peace stn. There are so many difficulties that are genuine. Exercises , camps Aid to civil agencies all take a lot of time and contribute to toughness that is as bad as in field areas.My point of saying what I have is that we should improve whatever we can. But that requires being the odd one out and being looked upon as the black sheep in a community that is delibrately gated to extract max pliability.Kartik Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408605172347564608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-15586738238464710862008-08-25T16:45:00.000+05:302008-08-25T16:45:00.000+05:30SOLDIER SALUTES THE PARA-MILITARY...dear ll...1.wh...SOLDIER SALUTES THE PARA-MILITARY...dear ll...1.when riots occur u do uncontrolled firing and run away from bunkers...read crpf firing in j&k..2. in naxal areas u sacrifice ur life like sheeps..and call ur self grey hounds...3. fail to prevent demolition of babri mosque..4. involved in coal smuggling... go to mehgalaya - bangladesh border...5. all bangladeshis r in india thanx to para military forces..6.

Army (as it is organised and trained) is only fit to fight a visible enemy- that is why it is ineffective for last twenty years in J & K and more than 40 years in NE where is no visible enemy and these states basically facing insurgency problem due to ethnic/ political and economic development reasons. what ever job you are performing in J &K and NE can be very well performed by para military forces with much less expenditure on all allowance that you are getting and they are not.<BR/> Don't try to play the same old record of paying with your life and sacrifice. Every job has a risk element. So many jobs have more risks than that in army (war is only once in last 40 years (1971) You try to paint a picture to public as if you are sitting on the verge of a war on an eyeball to eyeball situation all the time. You cannot make fool all the people all the time. Go an see life of a construction worker on the top of a 30 storied building, a safaiwala inside a manhole, a miner 150 meters deep inside the earth,a health worker disposing off medical waste or a engineer on a dam site or a police office controlling a mob or communal tension. Most of you will not even dare to go there leave aside doing that job. You talk of restriction on fundamental rights - you are already getting every thing you want from the govt. much more than civil services-SPC is live example. If IAS secretareis / joint secretareis and other civil servant come to know of your life style- they will rethink about what for they are slogging all the years- every thing come free of cost to you( well alomost).You are already getting much more than than civil services and para military forces if all your allowances are converted in to monetroy value -SPC has proved it with facts and figures despite of being very conversative. Why does in modern times an officer need 90 days leave in a year when he is staying in a big bunglow with his family in a peace station. We are not living in 1930s and 40s when communication was difficult. <BR/> You always cite siachin and difficult conditions at borders- para military forces are working in equally difficult situations on borders , why not MSP for them.<BR/><BR/>Everything civilian seems to be a free for all to you ( here in the army it not free for all as in civil services...)every civil servent and politician appear corrup and joker to you. Please note that we civilian are achieving 9-10 % economic growth, best in the world. I really feel pity on your mindset. come out of your coocoon , which you will have to come out on retirement any way. <BR/> And by the way your comment about civilian officers marrying off their daughters to army officers. I wish that may god help you to find groom/ bride for you children from army background only as civilian parents/ civilians boys/ girls are not upto your standards. And if your children are not willing to join army, don't look down on them , they too have a right to be different from you and be a civilian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-45320189180115645242008-08-24T21:57:00.000+05:302008-08-24T21:57:00.000+05:301.Linking of grade pay in armed forces with a rank...1.Linking of grade pay in armed forces with a rank has no meaning when running pay band has been implimented. Interestingly the fixation of grade pay has been done on the highest of the prerevised pay scale. example Rs.8000-275-13500 becomes Rs.15600-39100 + 5400<BR/>here 13500*0.4=5400(gradepay). Now digest this 12000-375-18000 becomes Rs.20880 + 7600(GP)<BR/>here 18000*0.4=7600. Now for a maj with (11600+1200)-325-(14850+1200)i.e. 12800-325-16050 becomes 22280+6100 here 16050*0.4=6420(grade pay) but it has been fixed at 6100 probably excluding rankpay. So now you get the catch: for 12000-375-18000 gP is 7600 and for Armed forces 12800-325-16050 GP is 6100. Certainly great minds at work.<BR/>2. Now the next catch we settled for rank pay in 5CPC so the pay scale looked like this for armed forces example(maj) (11600-325-14850)+1200(rank pay)here rank pay is stagnant so the highest pay for wich the grade pay has been fixed is 14850. I hope you all get the second catch also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-52480817134620481352008-08-24T21:52:00.000+05:302008-08-24T21:52:00.000+05:30Dear Major,Lots of discrimination financial and st...Dear Major,<BR/>Lots of discrimination financial and status wise has been done by 6CPC for the Lt Cols of army. This needs to be resolved and justice be given to them. The 6cpc should reconsider this and give a suitably place Lt Cols at par with civil services both in pay and statusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
