WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IP AND ASP CADRES ARE MERGED?
Merits
1. All IPs will get GP of Rs 4600 w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and all will get arrears immediately.
2.As the IP and ASP cadre will be merged, the promotions already given from IP to ASP will be ignored for MACPS. The MACPS to IP cadre will be as follows:-
Promoted IPs*
After 10 years of service in IP Cadre or 20 Years of totalservice
GP Rs 4800 (2nd Promotion)
After 20 Years of Service in IP Cadre or 30 years of total service
GP Rs 5400 (3rd Promotion)
Direct IPs**
After 10 years of service as IP
GP Rs 4800 (1st Promotion)
After 20 years of service as IP
GP Rs 5400 (2nd Promotion)
After 30 years of service as IP
GP Rs 6600 (3rd Promotion)
* It is presumed that no chance of promotion within 20 years of service in IP cadre.
**If we presume that direct IPs will get promotion to PSS Group B before completion of 30 years of service, they will be put into GP of Rs 4800 (like BCR PA drawin g GP of Rs 4200 is promoted to LSG cadre having GP of Rs 2400/-)
3. The reivsed GP under MACPS will be with effect from 1.9.2008. Those already completed 20 years of total service or 10 years of IP service will get GP Rs 4800 and those who have completed 30 years of total service or 20 years of IP service will get GP Rs 5400 from 1.9.2008 and arrears will be paid.
Demerits:-
1. There will no promotion for atleast 25 years in IP cadre. But there will no loss to IPs who have not passed PSS Group ‘B’ examination as they will get GP of Rs 5400 when they complete 30 years of total service or 20 years in IP Cadre.
2. IPs/ASPs who have passed PSS Group ‘B’ examination will be affected as follows:-
If promoted through examination within 10 years of IP service
GP Rs 4800 will be fixed with one increment
If promoted through examination after 10 years of IP service
As GP Rs 4800 would have been given already under MACPS no pay fixation will be done.
If promoted through examination after 20 years of IP service
He may be drawing GP of Rs 5400, but will be promoted to GP of Rs 4800. No benefit at all
In all the cases IP/ASP having 20 years of service in IP cadre will get GP of Rs 5400 i.e more than the PSS Group ‘B’ (promoted through exam).
3. A big question will be for Gazetted status. IP may be placed as Group ‘B’ non gazetted.
Already there is anomaly in giving promotion to BCR PA who are getting GP of Rs 4200 to LSG with GP of Rs 2400. Then why we should worry about for promotion to PSS Group B (GP of Rs 4800) after 25 years of service as we would get GP of Rs 5400 when we complete 20 years in IP cadre. We can opt for merger with the condition that the gazette status already given should not be withdrawn.
