  1. Its high time IP/ASP cadre is merged. We will reap more benefits. Having the gazetted post, we only get to attest in green ink besides getting newspaper bill reimbursement. Whereas we loose the yearly Bonus. Also, if cadre is merged with GP of 4600, we will get 4800 at 10 years from IPO, whereas having ASP cadre we get 4800 only after 20 years. Pl calculate the approximate monitary loss. It is in lakhs for sure????

  3. Every time cadre restructuring taking place for higher posts by surrendering the post of JTS and below Posts. 6th cadre e proposed the same. The surrender of of STS and below posts will result in snatching away of promotional avenues upto Inspector cadre due to cascading effect.
    The creation of Posts of JAG and above will increase the promotional avenues of top babus but may deprive the facilities given to promote officers. Every newly created posts will have to provided facilities like personal assistants, drivers, vehicles etc. As there is ban on creation of posts , these posts will be snatched away from the divisional heads and other poor promotee officers.
    So any proposal of upgradation of higher posts which will adversely affect the promotional aveunes of promote officers is not justified.
