Letter of GCGTA General Secretary regarding fitment formula from official website

=====================================================
           
Date: 15.1.2014

To
The Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister,
Govt of Andhra Pradesh,
Hyderabad.

Respected sir,
                       
Sub:- Lecturers promoted in November, 2010 and working in Govt. Degree Colleges – Fitment formula for Conversion from State Pay Scales of 2005 and 2010 to UGC RPS-2006 – Request to issue the formula recommended by the Commissioner of collegiate Education in May, 2011 – Regarding.

With reference to the subject cited, I submit that around 332 Junior lecturers possessing  NET/SLET/PhD were promoted as lecturers in November, 2010. All these Lecturers are drawing their minimum pay and allowances in the UGC pay scales for two and half years i.e., since their date of promotion incurring heavy loss. A new fitment formula is needed for these lecturers for conversion from State pay scales of 2005 and 2010 to UGC RPS-2006. The committee constituted as per Go.Rt.No. 49 recommended as below.

“Lecturers drawing State RPS 2010 are retrofitted in the State RPS 2005 (by withdrawing the benefits gained in RPS 2010) and subsequently placed in the UGC 2006 so that they do not get benefits twice”
Based on the recommendation of the committee, the government requested the APSCHE to send its views to issue orders on fitment formula and the APSCHE sent two models of fitment formulae.

In this connection, it is submitted that as recommended by the committee retrofitting the pay of lecturers into RPS 2005 is totally unscientific. The incumbent  was promoted in the year 2010 and has been drawing APRPS 2010 since 1.7.2008. Therefore, retrofitting him/her into RPS 2005 as recommended by the committee is not justifiable as it results in a loss of emoluments varying from Rs.500/- to Rs.9,000/- per month depending on the seniority of the incumbent. As a result, senior teacher with higher length of service are subjected to greater loss which is against natural justice and unscientific also. Further, when an employee moves into a promotion post, he should not draw less than what he was drawing in the lower cadre, which was accrued due to the length of service by addition of periodical increments as per FR 22 a (iv). In this regard some illustrations are enclosed herewith for your kind perusal.
Therefore, we request the Govt to issue the fitment formula already proposed by the Commissioner of Collegiate Education in May, 2011 at an early date as the members are subjected to a lot of mental agony.

Thanking you,

                                     Yours faithfully,

                                                                 
                                    (J. Rama Murthy)

                                         General Secretary
