Stenographers
of GNCT of Delhi were earlier covered under Delhi Administration Subordinate
Service (DASS) Rules, 1967 and were getting dual avenues of promotions, i.e. in
their own cadre as well as in DASS Cadre. Services Department of GNCT of Delhi
stopped the dual avenues of promotions and further on advice of MHA the
Stenographic cadre was re-structured at par with CSSS, GoI in the ratio of 40:40:20 (Grade-III, Grade-II and Grade-I) in accordance with the guidelines of
DoPT.
A
separate GNCT of Delhi Stenographers Service Rules, 2008 (GNCTDSS) were framed and
vide notification dated 21.02.2011; post of PPS was also made available in this
cadre after delinking from DASS & DANICS Cadre. Accordingly, posts in Stenographic cadre were
restructured in the ratio of 40:40:20 alongwith19 posts of PPS, which is as under:-

It was earlier represented that the
ratio of 40:40:20 of the Grade-I, II and III has got disturbed due to creation
of posts at the level of Grade-III and non-upgradation at the level of Grade-II
and Grade-I correspondingly to maintain the ratio as was provided. It has also
been pointed out that only 19 posts at the level of PPS are not justifiable to
cater the feeder category i.e. Grade-I.
MAGNITUDE
OF STAGNATION :
It was further represented that the
magnitude of stagnation in this cadre is increasing to the extent as under with
the passage of time:-
1.
A Grade-III Stenographer with more
than 18 years of service is still waiting for his first promotion.
2.
A Grade-II Stenographer with more than
28 years of service is still waiting for his 2ndpromotion.
3.
As there are 19 posts of PPS are available
to cater the feeder category of Grade-I/Sr. P.A with the total strength of 228
are not sufficient and thus not appropriately addressed the magnitude of
stagnation in the Cadre.
4.
With this structure, the junior most
incumbent in the cadre will get only one promotion before superannuation.
5.
In DASS Cadre, a Grade-IV (LDC) is
getting three promotions in his service period.
Stagnation
due to non-updation of Service Rules:- Further, it is submitted that O.M. No. AB.14017/61/ 2008-Estt.(RR)
dated 24.03.2009 has been issued by the Deptt. of Personnel & Training,
Govt. of India which has also been endorsed to Government of NCT of Delhi and
moreover it has also been further circulated by the Services Department to all
the HODs of GNCTD for taking necessary action in this regard. This O.M. is in
continuation of the different O.M.s issued by DoPT after implementation of 6th
Central Pay Commission. Vide above-said O.M., minimum qualifying service for
promotion between various posts/Grades has also been reduced as per the
recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission and change in pay structure
etc. For instance, in the case of Stenographers Cadre, for promotion from
Grade-II (Grade Pay 4200) to Grade-I (Grade Pay 4800) the minimum qualifying
service for promotion has been reduced from 8 years to 6 years and moreover it has been reduced to 5 years for
CSSS. Further, for promotion from Pvt. Secretary to
Pr. Pvt. Secretary it has been reduced from 8 to 6 years. It has been requested time and again for
passing necessary directions for timely updation of Statutory Service Rules/RRs
i.e. Government of NCT of Delhi Stenographers Service Rules by making
amendments therein as per instructions/guidelines of DoPT, to provide due
service conditions to the Stenographers at par with CSSS.
It
is also pointed out that in CSSS, GoI, there are five avenues of promotions available
to the Stenographers thereby having better avenues of promotions in GoI.
Further, it has also been pointed out that in GoI, entitlement criteria of
officers has also appropriately been relaxed to provide sufficient avenues of
promotions, therefore, stenographers in GNCT of Delhi are requesting that their
cadre be restructured adopting the procedure of up-gradation of posts at par
with CSSS, GoI with relaxed entitlement norms (following the precedent set by
DoPT) keeping in view the growth oriented management of Human Resources in
appropriate manner. Five promotional avenues available to the Stenographers in
CSSS, GoI are as under:

In view of the
submissions made as above, following points may kindly be considered favourably
before proceeding further in the matter of restructuring of stenographic cadre
in GNCTD :-
1. In the past it
was considered that non-secretariat / sub-ordinate organizations are one step
below vis-a-vis CSSS. But recently this
anomaly has been removed by MHA in consultation with Finance Department, GOI
and considered the services of GNCTDSS at par with CSSS alongwith pay
scales. Moreover, the 7th CPC
has also specifically considered this point and recommended in para _______
established the parity between GNCTDSS with that of CSSS setting aside the
established mindset that the non-secretariat / sub-ordinate organizations staff
has less workload. Therefore, it will
not be appropriate to emphasise at this juncture that the
workload/responsibilities of officers in administrative set up in any
department of Government of India is higher than GNCT of Delhi and employees of
Government of India are entitled for better service conditions for greater work
responsibilities.
2. As already
pointed out that the stenographers cadre was restructured in the year 2008 in
the ratio of 40:40:20 as per DoPT guidelines and vide notification dated
21.02.2011; 19 posts of PPS were also made available in this cadre after
delinking from DASS & DANICS Cadre.
3. On the point
of magnitude of stagnation there may also be presumption that there may be
creation of posts of Grade-III Stenographers on need basis and subsequent upgradation
at upper level may not have been done, but it may be seen that in the matter of
cadre review of CSSS by DOPT vide OM no.20/51/2009-CS.II(A) (Vol.II) dated
25.02.2011 they have created and upgraded the posts of stenographers at upper
level, i.e. PS & PPS by reducing the equal number of posts at lower level. Therefore, same analogy may be adopted in
case of stenographers of GNCT of Delhi.
Moreover, it is also informed that recently cadre restructuring in
respect of Accounts Cadre has taken place by creating a substantial number of
posts at upper level in parity with their counterparts in Central Government.
4. The pyramid formation
in the ratio of 40:40:20 initially adopted both in GNCTD & GOI could not
meet out the promotional avenues in the stenographer cadre and got disturbed by
creation of posts at the entry level.
Govt. of India, thereby adopted the need base formula by creating more
posts at PS and PPS level.
5. It is a fact
that different posts at different levels are created by departments of Delhi
Government itself in consultation with AR Department and there is no scope of
grant of any specific service condition to the employees by these departments. Any
change in service conditions and RRs are to be looked into by the Cadre
Controlling Authority. In case of
ministerial staff, such as DASS & Stenographer Cadre, being organized cadre
of subordinate staff (this fact that we are a organized cadre has been
established by 7th CPC also), their Cadre Controlling Authority is
Services Department. Any change in
condition of services of these categories of employees are to be looked into by
the Services Department itself by adopting DOPT guidelines issued from time to
time apart from management of total cadre strength/review and to provide them growth
oriented service conditions from the perspective of human resource management
to cater the demands / needs of the growing population of Delhi in a better way.
6. It may be
noted that having special status being National Capital Territory, with the
increasing population, expanding administrative set-up, over the last decade, there has been a sea-change in the work
environment of GNCT of Delhi due to IT innovations. This has resulted in
increase in efficiency and speed in performance of duties, including those by
the GNCTDSS personnel also. Such induction of technological advancement
and adoption of best practices of delivery oriented mechanism across the
Departments in GNCT of Delhi, workload of skilled and experienced employees has
indeed increased manifold. In addition, enactment of different laws, schemes
& policies and enforcement & implementation thereof have added more
responsibilities. Due to very long processes of creation, upgradation, cadre
reviews and recruitment, the Departments/Officers at different levels are
facing functional difficulties to perform time bound delivery oriented tasks in
accurate and professional way due to shortage of technically/professionally
skilled, qualified and experienced staff in ever expanding administrative
set-up.
7. Since the
qualification, job responsibilities/duties, mode of recruitment (SSC / DSSSB)
are same for stenographers as compared to their counterparts in CSSS, GoI, the
service conditions may also be at par in view of the recommendations of 6th
CPC at para 7.57.5 and recent orders of Ministry of Finance and MHA for pay
parity etc.
8. In the present
structure the last incumbent at the level of Grade-III is superannuating after
getting only one promotion. If we analyze on the analogy of DoPT in the context
of CSSS, there are five channels of promotions in stenographers’ cadre and
stenographers of GNCT of Delhi are requesting only for ensuring three
promotions in the entire service. Therefore,
to distribute the total number of posts in three categories and to provide 2nd
and 3rd avenue of promotion by re-arranging the total sanctioned
strength in a specific structure keeping in view the magnitude of stagnation, relaxation
in entitlement norms, functional requirement and financial implications apart
from perspective of growth oriented management of human resources in GNCT of
Delhi.
9. The need to review
the cadre structure of the GNCT of Delhi Stenographers’ Services (GNCTDSS) is to
harmonize the functional needs with the legitimate career expectations of its
members and to suggest measures to enhance the effectiveness of the Service. We should approach the issue in a holistic
manner keeping in view the larger public interest with the hope that the
suggested measures would enhance the effectiveness of the Service and usher in
better cadre management of the GNCTDSS in future. Hence, it is requested that the cadre
structure of GNCTDSS should be such as to enable it to attract best talent in
the service and provides the members of the service with excellent possible
career advancement opportunities which, in turn, encourages competence and
innovation, ensures capacity building at all level and makes the service more
efficient, effective and responsive.
10. After going
through the present cadre strength, magnitude of stagnation, historical parity
with CSSS, GoI in terms of service conditions, qualification, duties etc. there
is urgent need to upgrade a substantial number of posts at the level of Sr. PA
and PPS, as presently Grade-III and Grade-II Stenographers are more sufferers
due to prolonged delays in their promotions, hence the Government may propose
that these two categories may be ensured at least three promotions before
superannuation. Hence, Government is
requested to consider upgrading more posts at upper levels as under by way of
adopting methodology by DoPT for CSSS in the year 2011 (OM
no.20/51/2009-CS.II(A) (Vol.II) dated 25.02.2011, copy enclosed) :-

11. The relaxation
of norms for entitlement of officers for level of stenographic assistance has
further been continued to be proposed in the Report of 3rd Cadre
Review of CSSS. Further, it is also
proposed that being important issue this may not be delayed on the pretext that
first requisition will be sought from all the departments and then the process
of upgradation will be started. Therefore,
process of DoPT may be adopted and after said upgradation, posting of such
categories above Sr. P.A. may be posted as per functional requirement in
different departments of GNCT of Delhi as has been done in case of CSSS.
At the time of
creation of posts of PPS in this cadre, posts of PPS were created after seeking
requirement in different offices under GNCT of Delhi as per entitlement and 19
officers were identified by the General Administration Department. At present
in Govt. of NCT of Delhi PPSs are attached with LG, CM, Ministers and Pr.
Secretaries. However, in Ministries of
Govt. of India PPS posts have been attached against Joint Secretaries and
equivalent level officers working in different Ministries/Departments.
Therefore, it may also be considered that entitlement criteria of officers is
also required to be relaxed as per DoPT OM dated 25.02.2011. With above
mentioned structure entitlement of officers for level of stenographic
assistance may be as under :-
|

|
It
was also represented that the posts of PPS are to be attached with Secretaries,
Commissioners, Medical Superintendents, Addl. M.S of Hospitals, Directors of
Departments in hospitals etc. as they are the Head of their departments and are
also looking after the administrative work of different committees, Projects,
implementation of welfare schemes, policies and enforcement of different acts
and they are on Higher Administrative Grades/Super Administrative Grades.
12. Nomenclature
of posts in respect of Stenographic Cadre are also not changed since a very
long time and are required to be updated as per DoPT guidelines and recent 3rd
cadre review report of committee for CSSS dated 16.04.2015, which are almost equivalent in nature.
13. As per DoPT guidelines and CSSS, residency requirements for promotion
from one grade to the next higher grade may also be extended to GNCTDSS, as
under:-

14. Further, as
regards creation of posts of Sr. PPS in GNCT of Delhi to provide 4th
avenue of promotion to the stenographers, it
may not be feasible to provide ratio of any percentage or comparison with
the posts at lower level in these categories.
However, 8 symbolic posts of Sr. PPS may be considered for creating
additional avenue in view of the historical parity with CSSS, GoI. It may not be out of place to mention here
that in GNCT of Delhi itself with the kind approval of Hon’ble Lt. Governor,
Delhi, posts in Accounts Cadre have been created upto the level of Controller
of Accounts with Grade Pay Rs.8700/-, who are appointed through competitive
examination conducted by Principal Account Office and LDCs with qualification
of matriculation & Grade Pay Rs.1900/- and above are eligible for the said
competitive examination.
15. All the
officers functioning as Head of Office/Secretary of a department needs
experienced personnel, who are apt with all types of secretarial duties,
interpersonal skills, eloquent while on phone with senior officers, manage and
supervise personal section of Secretary/Spl. Secretary/Addl. Secretary. The stenographer after working for 20-25
years of service has got experience and have knowledge of the key areas and
could do the following duties in a very effective way like –
i)
Facilitating meetings
ii)
E-tracking of files and important papers
iii)
Facilitating grievance handling,
iv)
Handling phone calls
v)
E monitoring management system of important references
vi)
Noting & subsequently chalking out of minutes of
important meetings taken by Secretary
vii)
Handling coordination work.
16. The restructuring exercise of GNCTDSS should look at the structure of
the service which would be sustainable in the long term keeping in view the
functional aspects, reporting hierarchy and reasonable career
opportunities. For sustainable cadre
structure of GNCTDSS, there is a need to:-
i)
Recruitment be done at Steno Grade-III level with minimum
qualification to be Graduate.
ii)
Decrease the number of posts at Grade-III &
Grade-II level.
iii)
Increase the number of posts at Sr. PA and PPS level.
iv)
Introduce the additional promotional avenue at Sr. PPS
level by reducing the number of posts at Grade-III & Grade-II level and
distribute the same among Grade-I/Sr. PA, PPS and Sr. PPS level as mentioned in
Para 10 above.
17. As we are requesting
for symbolic 4th avenue of promotion to this category of staff, it
is also requested that their duties / responsibilities are also required to be
enhanced to the extent of Desk Officers in GoI as this category of employees
are technically/professionally skilled, qualified and experienced in
administrative set-up. Later on
performance based appraisal system may also be evaluated.
18. It is
pertinent to mention that mode of recruitment of stenographers in GNCTD is same
as for CSSS i.e. All India Competitive Examination with similar eligibility
criteria and presently all the Stenographers Grade-II and above working in GNCT
of Delhi have been recruited through Staff Selection Commission prior to Delhi
Subordinate Service Selection Board.

The
basis of above proposed tabulation
is formulated on the basis of the facts that:-
1. It may be seen that as per statutory service rules there are 262 posts
which have to be kept for leave and training reserve in addition to total
strength of 1312 @10% each. These posts may please be considered for addressing
the magnitude of stagnation in the cadre by distributing proportionately @7.5%
at all levels against the reserved posts of ST category, which comes to 97. After
this arrangement there are still 165 posts left for Leave & Training
Reserve.
2. At present there are 97 posts reserved for ST category at all levels
(PPS – 1, Grade-I – 17, Grade-II – 37 & Grade-III – 42) which shall always
remain vacant as there is no ST candidate available in entire cadre. Therefore, additional posts may be created at
all levels for ST category, which are going to remain vacant in future also.
3. 8 posts of Sr. PPS (with GP 7600) may also be considered for this cadre.
4. Presently 129 posts are filled at Grade-III level, who all are eligible
for getting their 1st promotion to the post of Grade-II which are
lying vacant (44 including reserved for ST) and likely to be vacant on account
of promotion of Grade-II to Grade-I (vacant posts 92 including reserved for
ST).
5. Out of 437 vacant posts of Grade-III, Services Department has received
72 dossiers in respect of Grade-III from DSSSB.
Consequently for the purpose of providing sufficient avenues of
promotion at upper level, 566-129-72=365 posts may be upgraded at upper
level.
6. Presently out of 228 posts at Grade-I level, 92 posts (including
reserved for ST) are lying vacant and more than 92 candidates at Grade-II level are eligible for
promotion to the post of Grade-I, resulting therein 136 (92+44) posts are to be
vacant at the level of Grade-II thereby creating enough room for accommodating 129
eligible Grade-III stenographers as mentioned in Point No.4. Therefore, 494 posts at Grade-III level are
available (129+365=494) and 7 posts at Grade-II level are available for
upgradation at upper level thereby a total of 501 posts will be in hand for
upgradation at upper level.
7. Further, on the basis of above analysis the cadre strength may easily be
rearranged as 8 posts of Sr. PPS may be considered, 134 posts of PPS level, 430
posts of PS/Grade-I level, 390 posts at Grade-II level and 447 at Grade-III
level may be considered for upgradation by way of adjusting 97 posts, reserved
for ST category, out of the Leave & Training Reserve Posts, which is
explained in the proposed tabulation and vacant posts of 501 posts at Grade-II
& Grade-III levels.
8. On the basis of rearrangement of number of posts at all levels, the
stenographic cadre will get only 8 symbolic posts of Sr. PPS, 115 posts of PPS,
202 posts of PS/Grade-I (total 325 posts) by way of creation / upgradation,
whereas there are 501 posts which could be utilized for upgradation at upper
levels.
9. Since all the senior most Grade-I/Sr.PA are already drawing Grade Pay of
Rs.5400 and senior Grade-II are drawing Grade Pay of Rs.4800 there is meagre
financial implication involved.
10. Fresh strength, change in nomenclature of posts and reduction in
qualifying service as per earlier proposals, DoPT guidelines and CSSS is
reproduced as under for consideration please :-
