CWC Meeting

Circle President and Circle Secretary attended the 3rd CWC meeting at Goa on 17 & 18 August. Al the Issues were raised in the meeting as per discussion held in the CEC meeting at Jalandhar. In the Secretary report I raised the issue ;

1, STS promotion : The officer belonging to SC/ST category promoted in the DPC of year 1994 on dated27.05.1994 and 03.06.1994 to the cader of TES Grp B are not promoted, where as the officers of DPC year 1998 are promoted keeping in view of the judgment on SENIORITY. OC promoted out of 1966 which are ranked enblock senior to other OCs of later years were all OC and the seniority was replaced by OC candidates only and there was no SC/ST officer in those 1966 who could be ranked enbloc senior to SC/ST candidates. So officers of DPC year 1994 should be given promotion as they are entitled for the vacancies as were in 1994 with other OC candidates of 1998.

2, Increase of monetary limit for TDS in respect of Leave Encashment: As per section 10(10AA)of Incom Tax entire payment received on Acct. of Earned Leave encashment at the time of retierment or othervise, is non taxable to the State or Central Govt. Employees. Where as vide notification dated 08.06.1988 and 31.05.2002 the monetary limit for the PSU/BSNL employees was fixed Rs. 3,00,000 for the purpose of Income Tax.Thus the TDS is deducted from the leave encashment beyond Rs. 300,000.This issue should be taken up at appropriate level/ ministary.

3, Promotion policy for Grup. A executives: As there is no financial upgradation or promotion policy for Grup A officers like DE and CAO.The adhoc officers are getting the financial upgradation.The issue should be taken.

4, Date of increment should not be changed at any level as at present no fixation benefit is being given to the staff at the time of revision of pay scale. Only 3% of the B Pay is being given to fix the officer in next stage. So date of incement should remains the same at the time of financial upgradation or promotion based fixation.
