meeting held on 17.6.2010 recommended that a Committee of
Group of Joint Secretaries (COJS) may be constituted to look
into
the specific issues relating to disparity in pay scales etc.
7. The COJS held various meetings and also met various
Union/Association to hear their views in the matter. After
detailed
deliberations in the meetings the COJS recommended the
following:-
(i) The upgraded pay scales granted to 11 categories vide orders
dated
25.2.1999
may be withdrawn. This is in consonance with the spirit
of the then Cabinet decision according to which the employees
were
not to be entitled to the upgraded pay scales in the event of
their
not getting absorbed in Prasar Bharati. It may also be mentioned
in
this context that the new recruits were, in any case, not
being
granted the upgraded pay scales. These 11 categories would,
therefore, be entitled to pay scales drawn by DRs.
(ii) In view of the fact that the 11 categories which were
granted higher
pay scales have been drawing these pays scales for a long
period
and the sudden withdrawal of these scales would lead to a drop
in
their emoluments, it is recommended that treating these as cases
of
hardship, their basic pay may be protected till their next
promotion/retirement, whichever is earlier.
8. However, the recommendations of COJS could not be placed
before the GOM as the GOM constituted by the outgoing
Government could not meet during the tenure of previous
Govt.
The new Govt. however scraped the concept of GOM. The
recommendation of COJS lost its sanctity and accordingly the
recommendation of COJS became redundant.
