Technical Supervisors - 6th ( VI ) Central Pay Commission Report

7.36.77 The   Fifth   CPC   had   recommended   an   assured   career progression scheme (ACPS) for all Government employees which were  implemented  with  some  modifications  in  respect  of  the employees belonging to Groups B, C & D. This scheme also exists in the Ministry of Railways. The Commission has separately recommended certain modifications in the scheme to improve it further. The modified ACPS will also apply in Ministry of Railways. It is not possible to extend the scheme of time bound promotions and cadre structure similar to that existing in CPWD in the Ministry of Railways as this will disturb the entire functional structure of Railways and will also upset many of the existing relativities. Diploma Holders in Engineering have been given a higher grade at entry (Rs.5000-8000) as compared to Graduates in the Clerical category i.e. Senior Clerk in scale Rs.4500-7000. No further upgradation is, therefore, warranted. Introduction of running pay bands will, in any case, ease existing levels of stagnation. In any case, Commission has recommended merger of the scales of Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500. This will necessitate some restructuring in the existing cadre along with merger of some posts which are functionally similar. The Commission, accordingly, recommends the following revised structure for the cadre of Technical Supervisors:-
