IIS Association demands a thorough overhaul of Sixth Pay Commission
Alleging that the government has given a raw deal to the officers of the Indian Information Service, the IIS Officers Association has demanded "a thorough overhaul of the Sixth Pay Commission".
In a statement issued here, the IIS Officers Association termed as "factually inaccurate" the report of the Sixth Pay Commission, which says "IIS Group B personnel join in the pay scale Rs 5500-9000. The next higher post is in the scale of Rs 6500-10,500 (Gazetted)".
"This assumption is incorrect because all IIS Group B personnel do not join in the scale of Rs 5500-9000. It is therefore, pointed out that IIS Group B has two components: (a) Junior Grade of IIS Group B (Non-Gazetted) in the scale of Rs 5500-9000 and are then promoted to Senior Grade of the IIS Group B (Gazetted) in the scale of Rs 650010,500; and (b) Direct Recruitment to Senior Grade of Group B (Gazetted) in the pay scale of Rs 650010,500", the statement said.
"However, the Sixth Pay Commission has recommended the merging of Junior Grade of Group B with Senior Grade of Group B. This has left the position of Senior Grade of Group B undefined. Thus, the Association has demanded that the Senior Grade of Group B must be given a higher Grade Pay," the statement said.
