23nd   Mar 2004The case taken by our Association for allowing option to retain CDA pay scales till next promotion has been accorded in the PO itself. This has been further clarified by our GS  - and text of the relevant order is reproduced below. The POs issued for permanent absorption contain instructions regarding regulation of pay on absorption- " pay will be regulated in terms of Para 4 of DOP& PW OM No.4/18/87-P&PW (D) dated 05/07/1989" which reads thus "The Public Sector Undertaking/ Autonomous body will formulate the terms and conditions of service in the new body at the earliest possible date. The Employees will however have an option to retain their Government pay scales till their next promotion or retirement whichever is earlier or to come over to the service conditions of the PSU / Autonomous body. However until the exercise of option they will be continued to be governed by the pay scales, leave entitlements and terminal benefits under the Government." Members find it beneficial to exercise such option may do so immediately.
