When the recommendations of the 6th pay commission were implemented, I had opted to fix my pay in the revised pay structure w.e.f. 1-1-2006.
I got a promotion in 2009 w.e.from 21-3-2008 and I didn't change options.
Later, I have revised my above option and elected the revised pay structure from the date of promotion effective from 21-3-2008.
Accordingly my office has notified the revised pay on dated 16-5-2011.
Soon after realizing that the change of option caused financial loss instead of benefit, I gave another representation to the office on 26-5-2011 to cancel and it was under consideration with the office FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS.
Later Ministry of Finance issued instructions vide OM No. 10/2/2011-EIIIA dated 19-3-2012 providing that those central Government employees who were due to get their annual increment between February – June 2006 may be granted one increment on 1-1-2006 in the pre-revised pay scale as a onetime measure. I gave few more representations on 15-6-2012 and 31-7-2012 to approve my request of and seeking revision.
However, office has turned down my requests.
Later Ministry of Finance issued instructions vide OM No. 10/2/2011-E-III(A) dated 03-01-2013 providing for another opportunity to re-exercise of option to switch over to the revised pay structure. Immediately, I gave my representation seeking revision of option on 26-01-2013 and 2-12-2013.
According to OM No. 16/8/2000-Estt. (Pay-1) dated 25-2-2003, an employee may be allowed to revise the option in the pursuant to ANY unforeseen developments or change of rules.
I would now request you consider the unforeseen developments or change of rules in my case as detailed below:
⦁ As I was not fully aware of the pros- and cons- of the pay fixation, the option given by me incurring huge financial loss to the tune of more than Rs. 2.0 lakhs instead of benefit, which is an unforeseen development.
⦁ Though office issued an OM dated 16-05-2011 is issued, I have realized the loss incurred by implementing this OM and immediately I gave another representation dated 16-05-2011, which was pending in the office for several months.
⦁ On 23-12-2010 when I opted for revision of option, I can not anticipate that after 15 months Ministry of Finance would issue O.M.No.10/2/2011-EIIIA on 19-3-2012 providing that those Central Government employees who were due to get their annual increment between February – June 2006 may be granted one increment on 1-1-2006 in the pre-revised pay scale as a onetime measure.
⦁ MY REQUESTS WERE PENDING SEVERAL MONTHS. EVEN THOUGH PAY ACCORDING TO OUR REVISED OPTION WAS NOTIFIED, IN 2011, THE SAME WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED TILL DECEMBER 2013.
That means, whenever I have small advantage, office delayed it and when I am in loss, office is actively taking it. Is there a way to fight our case?
Thx and Regards,
