Update on discussion with Pay Commission and departmental issues from ITEF

ITEF issued a detailed circular regarding discussion with 7th CPC, other departmental issues including departmental examination for the year 2015.
We reproduce the gist of the circular.
Oral evidence before the VII-CPC
On a discussion with seventh CPC JCA urged for same pay scale of ITOs with Officers in the Audit & Accounts Department with a grade pay of Rs 5400 and Inspectors at par with IB and CBI Inspectors. They soufgt similar pay for TAs with other Accounts counterparts and NS with Postal Assistants. As per ITEF CPC has taken "positive and appreciative approach" to all the demands.
Departmental Examination
Departmental Exam for the year is likely to be held in the first half of July
Recruitment Rule
New RR for Ex. Assts. is being delayed by DOPT. DOPT wants a 10 year residency period for the promotion to the new cadre while the association stressed for 3 years. Dept. assured to pre3ss the demand for 3 years to DOPT. 
Association objected any mandatory training programme for promotion in any cadre.
Implementation of NR Parmar Judgement & DoPT Instructions.
"...The true revision as per the spirit of the CBDT instruction to correctly determine the seniority,has to be  the revision from the bottom.  The point was made clear to all and it has been decided to revise the seniority of the cadres where the element of both DR & PR  exists accordingly.  It was also decided that  progress of implementation and revision of seniority list of all such cadres will be monitored by the Authorities every month."

 '..Our further persuasion at all levels and the sincere efforts made by the Chairperson and Member (P&V) the said benefit has finally been extended to Sr. Tax Assistants and Stenographer Gr. II(Old). We sincerely thank all the members who stood with us patiently for quite long."
