Chapter 3.6 of the CPC Report covers organnised medical services namely Central Health Services (CHS), Indian Railways Medical Services and the Ordinance Factories Health Services as well as others including Army Medical Corps and other Paramilitary Medical Corps.
CHS constituted in 1963 presently comprises of General Duty Medical Officers(3139),Teaching and Non Specialists (638+780) & Health Specialists(078). There are 13 posts in Higher Administrative Grade.
In matter of promotion, presently ACP Scheme with two promotions at 12 and 24 years is in place for isolated posts. For CHS and other organized Services the Scheme of Dynamic Assured Career progression (DACP) is in place. DACP involves change of nomenclature at promotion stage and is considered more attractive as compared to scheme of ACP. The Sixth CPC has made a major recommendation of extending the DACP for other categories of doctors also. The doctors in other streams of Indian Medicine viz. Ayurveda, Yoga,Unani,Sidhaand Homeopathy shall also get similar benefit if the recommendations are accepted.
The rates of conveyance allowance payable to doctors have been doubled. These shall henceforth be as given below. One important recommendation is to link this allowance to Consumer Price Index and make the same subject to annual revision as per he DA formula.
The pay for Junior residents (present scale: 9000 fixed or 9000-9550) and senior residents (present scale: 10325-10975) shall be fixed in pay band 3 (15600-39100) with grade pay of Rs.5400 and 6100 respectively . Benefits proposed for doctors have also been recommended to dental surgeons.
NPA payable to doctors is already discussed in the post on other allowances on this blog. Sixth CPC has rejected the demand made by Para Medics for simsilar allowance.
The MOs working in the Ordinance Factories Health Services are not getting Conveyance allowance as recommended by 6th Pay Commission. in fact, the Conveyance Allowance has been stop all together citing lack of communication from the Ministry. Is there any remedy so that the allowance be paid ( asa in Govt. of Delhi where doctors are getting the old allowance?
ReplyDeleteThe Senior and Junior residents working at NEIGRIHMS, Shillong (Meghalaya) are being denied their NPA among other allowances after the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations. THe Director, despite repeated requests refuses to grant the same. Is their any way to address our grieviances as we have no choice but to resort to a strike.
