LDC-UDC ISSUE: A STEP FORWARD

DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE WRITES TO FA, DoPT

Dear friends,

   While going through the letter of the Ministry of Finance, as given below, it has become more clear that the Ministry of Finance is not willing to consider the genuine case of  Lakhs of LDC & UDC of the Government of India Offices. It appears, the Ministry of Finance proposes Ministry/Department wise restructuring(with the provision of reduction of number of posts while applying matching/saving) of the posts. the proposal is not practical since the LDC & UDC are common cadres and spread over the entire Government of India Offices of various Ministries unless the MoF/DoPT clarifies the position further. In this context, the matter was discussed  in the National Executive Meeting of the Confederation and the decision taken in it is given below. Thus all of us should prepare for the action as proposed by the Confederation. I feel it would be better if we exibit our unity/strength in the proposed Nation wide Mass Dharna called by the Confederation  on 9th January 2014 at Delhi. I have discussed the matter with some like minded Associations who will also attending the Dharna Programme. All our friends are requested to give their valuable comments/opinion so that we may take the appropriate action on the matter.

Composition of the 7th Pay Commission

           Some Blogs have said that Shri. Raminder Singh Gujral ,IAS, the Finance Secretary , might be appointed as Member secretary of 7th Pay Commission. But the fact is he is retiring from the service on 30th November 2013. New Finance Secretary will be appointed after the approval of the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet. But the issue here is not regarding who will be the next Finance secretary. The issue is ‘can the retiring official be appointed as Member secretary to the 7th Pay Commission? . It is needed to mention that the previous pay commissions did not have retired bureaucrats as its Member secretary.
