What is my intention (To bring to your kind notice) that uniformity may kindly be extended to all the Central Government Employees whether CSS Cadre o Subordinate Cadre Ministerial Staff of Field Offices / Field Formations. Why this proposal? because,
1. For that the minimum qualification is the same for appearing the competitive exam, which will be conducted by Staff Selection Commission.

3. For that the minimum Basic Pay is the same at the time of joining in service either by CSS Cadre Employee or Subordinate Cadre Ministerial Staff.
4. For that the Category “X” (CSS Cadre), “Y” (Subordinate Cadre) or “Z” (Delhi Development Authority) all are appearing the exam conducted by Staff Selection Commission.
5. For that as my Junior Counterparts in CSS Cadre are drawing the more Basic Pay and more Grade Pay
6. For that my Junior Counterparts in CSS Cadre are got the promoton as Personal Assistants and drawing the Grade Pay of Rs. 4800/- w.e.f. 01/09/2008 onwards as per MACP Scheme of VI Central Pa Commission whereas myself and my other counterparts in All India Subordinate Cadre Ministerial Staff are drawing the Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- w.e.f. 01/01/2006 onwards.
7. For that Assistants in All India Subordinate Cadre Ministerial Staff are drawing the GradePay of Rs.4600/- only w.e.f. 01/09/2008 onwards, those who completed the continuous service of 30 years whereas their Counterparts (Assisants in CSS Cadre) are drawing the Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- or Rs.5400/-(in some caes), which makes frustration amongst the Assistants of Subordinate Cadre Ministerial Staff.
8. For that in some Central Government Offices, some Assistants of Subordinate Cadre (Drawing the Grade Pay of Rs.4600/-) are working under the administrative control their Junior Counterparts in CSS Cadre who are drawing the Grade ay of Rs.4800/- or in some cases Rs. 5400/-
