RESPECTED PM SIR
ReplyDelete1; UPA II HAS BEEN UNKIND & UNCONCERNED TO ARMED FORCES. THE CASE WAS UNDULY DENIED BY GOVT. NOW COURT HAS GIVEN DECISION TO PAY WHICH SHOWS GOVT WAS WRONG. THE AMOUNT IS TO BE PAID WEF 24/9/2012 INTEREST WEF 1/1/2013 @ 9%INTEREST
BUT ACTUALLY IT SHOULD BE PAID WEF 1/1/2006.
HOPE UPA II WILL PAY WEF 1/1/2006 ELSE IT WILLAMOUNT TO TAKING BREAD FROM MOUTH OFOLD AILING PENSIONERS & WIDOWS. WHICH NO ONE WILL TOLERATE ,EVEN IF U TAKE FOOD
FROM ANIMAL MOUTH ,THE ANIMAL WILL BITE BACK. THUS IN CASE UPA II WANTS VOTES OF FORCES[MONEY EARNED BY BLOOD] THEN GIVE THEM THEIR DUE WEF 1/1/2006. [ LOOTERS ARE LOOTING CRORES ALMOST WEEKLY IN NEWS] KINDLY PAY THE FOLLOWING ALSO ELSE THE VALUABLE VOTES MAY VANISH
2]NFU STATUS: ARMY HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN NFU STATUS YET.KINDLY DO AT THE EARLIEST WEF 1/1/2006
A]. THE BULK OF ARMY OFFICER RETIRES IN Lt COL RANK & BELOW.
SO IDEALLY THEY SHOULD BE IN SUPER TIME SCALE.
B]COL [SELECTION GRADE] SHOULD BE ABOVE SUPER TIME SCALE,
SO IS BRIG, BUT IN REALITY IT IS NOT SO. THEY ARE BEING PAID DEGRADED
PAY & PENSION
C]Colonel has been equated with Non-Functional Selection Grade (NFSG). The rank of a
DIG who was till date between a Lt Colonel and a Colonel is now officially equal to a
Brigadier. Both are now on a Grade Pay of Rs 8900
D]IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT POLICE HAS GONE ONE RANK UP
ALREADY DURING COAS MALHOTRA TIME. HE DID HIS BEST TO REVERSE
POLICE ACTION, BUT COULD NOT DO SO & DID NOT UPGRADE RANK OF HIS FORCES.NOW FURTHER DEGRADATION
E]WHERE IS REWARD TO COL/BRIG WHO WORKED HARD FOR
PROMOTION & ORGANISATIONAL GROWTH, ALL THEIR LIFE
COL/BRIG SHOULD BE PLACED IN HAG SELECTION GRADE
COL/BRIG IS IN FORE FRONT DURING PEACE/WAR AND
WITH DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH MEN.COL/BRIG IS A KING PIN BETWEEN TROOPS & HIGHER UPS.
3] DA SHOULD NOT BE TAXED: IT IS UNJUSTIFIED TO TAX DA. BY TAXING THE DA, EMPLOYEES ARE DENIED THEIR LEGITIMATE RIGHT TO FIGHT
INFLATION AS A PIE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR PLATE BY INCOME TAX.
IT WAS NOT BEING TAXED FOR SIX DECADES, BUT SMART EX FM PC HAS TAXED THE DA AT HIS OWN WISDOM & NO WHEN RESISTED/CONTESTED.KINDLY DONOT TAX DA.
4. MERGER OF DA ON ATTAINING DA SLAB OF 50 % IS NOT DONE IN 6 CPC: IT WAS IN 5th CPC, BUT AN OMMISSION HAS TAKEN PLACE & NEEDS CORRECTION. DA IS MOTHER OF ALL ALLOWANCES. AS SERVING PERSONALS OTHER ALLOWANCES HAVE BEEN ENHANCED ON BASIS OF DA AT 50% BY 25% THAN HOW CAN YOU FORGET MERGING DA IN PAY/PENSION AS DP.[BABU FORGOT TO MENTION & CREATED MESS FOR ALL]

A] EX COAS JJ SINGH: WHEN CASE OF RANK PAY WAS RAKED .HE WAS THE ONE HE PUT HIS FOOT DOWN .SAYING RANK PAY HAS NOT BEEN CLAIMED, SO IT CANNOT BE GIVEN OR WORDS TO THAT EFFECT. SEE LEVEL OF FOOLING HIMSELF & HARMING ARMY TO GET PLUM POSTING OF GUV AFTER RETIREMENT. THE GENERAL MUST BE AWARE THAT PAY IS NEVER CLAIMED . HE HAS PUT EVERYONE IN SPIN FOR HIS PERSONAL RISE. I AM SURE HE TOO MUST HAVE GOT RANK PAY ARREARS BY NOW.A SHAMELESS ACT.
B] EARLIER THERE WAS ONE IG POLICE IN COMBINED HARYANA+UT+PUNJAB. IN EX COAS MALHOTRA POLICE WENT ONE RANK UP. NEITHER HE UP GRADED ARMY NOR HE PUT HIS FOOT DOWN FOR POLICE. SO IN AID TO CIVIL POWER ARMY OFFICER WENT DOWN IN RANK STRUCTURE.NOW SEE AMOUNT OF DGP+IGP FLOATING IN THESE PLACES
C] IN 6th CPC GOVT WAS GIVING NFU STATUS TO US.NAVY & AIR FORCE WERE WILLING BUT ARMY DENIED. TO DATE A TIME SCALE IAS/IPS OFFICER GETS PENSION OF Lt Gen. MOREOVER THERE IS COMMAND & CONTROL PROBLEM NOW A CWE IS SENIOR TO MAJ GEN
D]OUR ACR SYSTEM ALLOWS WRONG ONE TO COME UP. PEN PICTURE HAS NO MEANING WHICH 95% OFFICER MAY NOT KNOW. IT IS NUMERIC RATING WHICH MATTERS . AN EXCELLENT COMMAND WORD IN PEN PICTURE WILL NOT MAKE UP IF AT ONE ODD PLACE 7 REMARKS ARE GIVEN IN QUALITY . ALTHOUGH 7/8 ARE NOT PROPERLY DEMARCATED [ 7 OR 8 HAVE EQUALITY TO FOOL THE RECEIVER]
E] CORRUPT & GOOD CHAMACHA'S MAKE UP
