Sixth Pay Commission: Remove pay anomalies, demand coop officers

15 Sep 2008 11:14:00 AM ISTBHUBANESWAR: The Orissa Cooperative Non-gazetted Officers Association has stepped up its demand for removal of pay anomalies in the pay-scale of inspector and sub-assistant registrar of cooperative societies before implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission.


Addressing mediapersons here today, association president S.Khan rued that while the scale of pay for sub-inspector of police (SI) and supply inspector was fixed at Rs 5,000-8,000, the inspector of cooperative societies being in the same grade, got the basic pay at Rs 4,750-7,500.

Similarly, the association has demanded fixation of basic pay of sub-assistant registrar of cooperative societies at Rs 5,900-9,700 as granted to the inspector of police. The existing basic pay of the sub-assistant registrar is Rs 5,500-9,000.

Protesting the anomaly, the association had submitted a memorandum to the pay anomaly committee for removal of the disparities. However, this anomaly has not been corrected while the Government has already set up another Fitment Committee to study the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission.

A delegation of the association recently met Cooperation Secretary U.P. Singh and submitted a memorandum with four-point charter of demands. They requested Singh to take up the issue with the Government for removal of the pay anomaly before the Fitment Committee submitted its report.

Khan further informed that 254 posts of inspector of cooperative societies and 110 posts of sub-assistant registrar are lying vacant.

If the vacancies in sub-assistant registrar post were filled up through promotion, the effective vacancies in the post of cooperative inspector will be 364, he added.

He urged the Government to fill up the vacant posts without delay.
