SEVENTH CENTRAL PAY COMMISSION
7CPC/99/RR/2014/1
Dated: 8th September, 2014
Dear
The 7th Central Pay Commission has been receiving a number of
memoranda, representations from associations/federations as well
as individual cadres on pay and related issues. As part of its
working, the Commission is also hearing various groups of employees
both in Delhi and during its visits outside Delhi.
2. One of the major issues raised before the
Commission centres on the subject of parity. One aspect of parity
manifests in how posts of a similar nature are placed. Certain
cadres/category of employees have, in their deposition before the
Commission, stated that there are cases when identical or similarly placed
cadres/categories of employees in different Ministries/Departments are
placed differentially in terms of pay and promotional prospects.
3. With a view to examining and addressing this aspect of parity
amongst apparently similarly placed cadres/posts, the Commission has
devised a template to be filled in for posts being administered by your
Department. The template seeks to elicit information that would be readily
available in the Recruitment Rules for the concerned post(s)/cadres. In case
your Department only operates posts involving common cadres like the Central
Secretariat Service (CSS), Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS),
Central Secretariat Clerical Service (CSCS), a NIL report may kindly be
furnished to the Commission.
4. Since the Work of the Commission is time
bound may I request that information as sought is furnished by 25
September 2014. Perhaps a copy of the RRs themselves could be sent as advance
information.
Yours sincerely,
sd/-
