LEARN TO LEAD NOT TO BULLY :
PHYSIOLOGY CORNER:
Many times people don’t even realize that their boss is bullying them. Instead, they falsely believe that their boss is just tough or pushes his workers to get results. But workplace bullying can have significant consequences and can impact your health and overall well being. Therefore, it’s important to be able to distinguish between a tough boss and a bullying boss. Here are some signs that your boss is a bully. Your boss is a bully if he:
Verbally abuses you. For instance, a bullying boss humiliates you in front of others. He also might shout, swear or yell at you on a consistent basis or make offensive jokes at your expense. Verbally abusive bosses also make snide remarks or offer unfair criticism about you or your work.
Intimidates you on a regular basis. Intimidating behavior might include threatening to fire you as a way to maintain power and control. It also can include threatening gestures or threats to harm you physically.
Questions your adequacy and your commitment. Bosses question your adequacy by belittling your opinions and ideas. This may be done in private or in front of others. They also may blame you for problems at work while boasting that their skills are responsible for good outcomes. And they may question your commitment to the job unless you work long hours and sacrifice personal time.
Intrudes on your privacy. Sometimes bosses will spy on you or even stalk you. They also may listen in on your private conversations, open your mail and go so far as to tamper with your personal belongings or your work equipment.
Undermines your work. Bosses who bully set unrealistic deadlines that are bound to cause failure. They also change project guidelines on a regular basis causing extra work and increasing the chance for failure. They also withhold necessary information in order to cause failure and sabotage your success by making your work late or incomplete. Refusing to sign off on projects or refusing to provide needed feedback are other tactics used to undermine work.
Impedes your success. Bullies don’t want to see you succeed because they will lose control over you. As a result, they may punish you for mistakes that are not yours or bring up past mistakes in order to shift blame during a discussion. They also may make it impossible for you to apply for a promotion, a transfer or additional training. They may even over-control or micromanage your work or projects.
Spreads rumors about you. Bullies often go to great lengths to make others look bad. As a result, they may gossip with others about your work, your appearance, your health or your personal life.
Isolates you at work. Bullying bosses might exclude you socially. They leave you off party lists and don't include you in company outings, sporting events or after-hours meetings. They also may schedule meetings when they know you have a conflict in your schedule. And they may go so far as refusing to allow you to attend work meetings or work lunches.
If you are experiencing any of these abuses, it’s important to recognize that this is workplace bullying and it’s not a normal part of any workplace environment. Repetitive verbal abuse, exploitation, micromanagement and other activities that repeatedly demean you or are discourteous will eventually take a toll on you.
Possible Signs of a Bully
Exhibiting poor impulse control. Bullies with poor impulse control are quick-tempered, tend to yell and use profanity. They also are prone to using insults and calling names.
Attempting to monitor, control or isolate other workers. Workplace bullies may hold surprise meetings as a means to humiliate another person. They also may make surprise appearances in an employee’s work area in an attempt to catch them doing something they shouldn’t be doing. And, they conveniently leave others out of important meetings or e-mails.
Sabotaging the work of others. Bullies tend to discount the accomplishments of others and take credit for things they didn’t do. They also may withhold valuable information from other employees in an effort to sabotage their work performance. And they threaten subordinates with job loss, set unreasonable schedules, make unrealistic work demands and squash attempts at promotion.
Appearing self-centered or inconsiderate. Bullies are the ones who dominate meetings with interruptions, sarcasm and insults. They also consistently question and criticize other people’s ideas. Additionally, bullies use non-verbal cues to control other employees such as coughing, rolling their eyes, squeaking their chair, tapping a pencil on the table, tapping their foot impatiently and so on.
Talking behind the backs of co-workers. Watch out for people who seem to be “in-the-know” about other people. Some of what they say may be fabricated rumors and gossip. Bullies tend to make snide remarks about other people, make fun of people and criticize others.
Learning to recognize bullying will help you learn not to blame yourself for someone else’s behavior. Additionally, you will be less likely to take responsibility for something that isn’t your fault. Remember, bullying doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. Instead, bullying is a choice that is made by the bully.
Additionally, remember that workplace bullying is a widespread issue that affects millions of people. As a result, keep the situation in perspective and don’t let it affect your self-esteem or health. Find outside support for what you are experiencing and look for options for your situation whether it is reporting your boss, filing a complaint or getting outside counseling.

Ministerial Staff demanding MACP on Hierarchy basis in view of Court Order
MACP
MINISTERIAL STAFF ASSOCIATION
SURVEY OF INDIA, CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS : DEHRADUN
C/o NPG, Hathibarkala Estate, Dehradun-248 001
No.CHQ- 31 /MSA/2013 Dated 14 -8-2013
To
The Secretary to the Government of India,
Department of Science and Technology,
(Ministry of Science and Technology)
Technology Bhawan, New Mehrauli Road,
New Delhi-110 016.
( Through the Surveyor General of India)
SUB:GRANT OF THE BENEFITS UNDER MACP TO UPPER DIVISION CLERK (UDC) AND OTHER
MINISTERIAL STAFF OF SURVEY OF INDIA IN THE HIERARCHY OF THE PROMOTIONAL
GRADE – REQUEST FOR.
Sir,
With due respect, I would like to submit the following few lines on the subject for favour of
your kind consideration and necessary action:-
1) That the Ministerial Staff of Survey of India are recruited to the post of Lower Division
Clerk (LDC) in the then pay scale of Rs.950-1500. The said pay scale was revised to
Rs.3050-4590 w.e.f. 1-1-1996 in terms of the Fifth CPC. The said pre-revised pay scale was
revised to Pay Band-1(Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay Rs.1900 w.e.f. 1-1-2006 in terms of the
Sixth CPC.
2) That as per the provisions contained in the Recruitment Rules for the Ministerial Staff, the
LDCs are eligible to be promoted to the post of UDC on completion of 8 years
regular service by DPC (1s promotion). It is also provided in the said Rules that the LDCs
can be promoted to the post of UDCs after completion of 3 years regular service subject to
passing of the 25% the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for promotion to the
post of UDCs (1st Promotion). Accordingly, the LDCs are promoted to the post of UDCs
by DPC/LDCE in the pay scale of Rs.4000-6000.
3) That it is also provided in the said Recruitment Rules of Ministerial Staff that UDCs in the
pay scale of Rs.4000-6000 shall be eligible for promotion to the post of Assistants by DPC
(2nd promotion) in the pay scale of pre-revised Rs.5000-8000 (previous pay scale Rs.1400-
2300) after 5 years service as UDC.
4) That it is also provided in the Recruitment Rules of Ministerial Staff that Assistants in the
pay scale of Rs.5000-8000 shall be eligible for promotion to the post of Office
Superintendent (Rs.5500-9000) by DPC (3rd promotion) after 3 years service as
Assistant. But due to lack of appropriate promotional ratio, the incumbents are not granted
promotion within the prescribed residency period and hence are stagnating in the same post.
The Heirarchy Chart for the Ministerial Staff in Survey of India is annexed as Annexure-1
for your ready reference please. MACP
- 2-
5) That it is submitted that based on the recommendations of the Fifth CPC, Government of
India introduced the Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACP Scheme) under DoP&T’s
OM No.35034/3/97-Estt. (D) dated 9-8-1999. The main objective of the Scheme was to
deal “with the problem of genuine stagnation and hardships faced by the employees
due to lack of promotional avenues”. In said Scheme, it was provided for grant of two
financial upgradations in the promotional hierarchy of the cadre on completion of 12 and
24 years of service respectively, counted from the direct recruitment grade. The said benefits
under the ACP shall be applicable w.e.f. 9-8-1999.
6) That at the time of the introduction of the ACP Scheme, there was an acute stagnation in the
LDC, UDC and other cadres in the Ministerial Staff. Accordingly, most of the LDCs were
granted 1st ACP in the next hierarchical grade i.e. in the pay scale of Rs.4000-6000 w.e.f.
9-8-1999 or on completion of 12 years. A number of LDCs and UDCs were also granted 1st
and 2nd ACP in the 1st and 2nd promotional grade i.e. in the pay scale of Rs.4000-6000 and
Rs.5000-8000 (Pre-revised pay scale of Assistant) respectively w.e.f. 9-8-1999 or on
completion of 24 years of service.
7) That the Govt. of India implemented the recommendations of the Sixth CPC under Ministry
of Finance’s Notification No.F.No.1/1/2008-IC dated 29-8-2008 effecting from 1-1-2006
and accordingly LDC. UDC, Assistant, Office Superintendent and Establishment &
Accoutns Officers were placed in the pay structure furnished as under:-

5 Establishment

Officer
Rs.7550-11500 - Pay Band-2(Rs.9300-34800)+Grade Pay Rs.4600
8) That the Govt. of India also issued orders regarding revised ACP Scheme i.e. Modified ACP
(MACP in short) under DoP&T’s OM No.35034/3/2008-Estt. (D) dated 19-5-2009 for
the Central Govt. Civilian Employees replacing the existing ACP Scheme with two
financial upgradations in the hierarchy of the promotional grade on completion of 12 and 24
years of service counted from the direct entry grade to three financial upgradations on
completion of 10, 20 and 30 years counted from the direct entry grade in the hierarchy of
grade pay under MACP. As per the aforesaid orders, the benefit under the MACP is
applicable from 1-9-2008.
9) That the Surveyor General’s Office has decided to grant MACP to the Ministerial staff
keeping the pay structure of LDC as PB-1(Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay Rs.1900 in view as
entry grade pay structure and contended to grant the First, Second and Third MACP in the
pay structure of PB-1 (Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay Rs.2000, PB-1(Rs.5200-20200)+Grade
Pay Rs.2400 and PB-1(Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay Rs.2800 after completion of 10, 20 and MACP
-3-
30 years of service as LDC/UDC respectively. As such, the said decision is detrimental to
the interest of the cadre and discriminatory in nature.
10) That the following table shows how the benefits under MACP Scheme is less
advantageous because of the fact that the MACP is granted in the hierarchy of the
successive grade pay than the erstwhile ACP Scheme to the Ministerial Staff which was
granted in the promotional hierarchy. An extract of the same is furnished hereunder:-

(before the cut-off date of 1-9-2008), were have been granted the benefits of 2nd ACP in the
pay scale of Rs.5000-8000. As such, these UDCs have been placed in the revised pay
structure of PB-2 (Rs.9300-34800) + Grade Pay Rs.4200, the UDCs who have not got the
2
nd ACP prior to 31-8-2008 have been placed in PB-1(Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay Rs.2800
towards 2nd MACP and thus deprived of the said benefits without any justified reason. A

the pay structure of PB-1 (Rs.5200-20200)+Grade Pay of Rs.2800 instead of granting the same

(Assistant) w.e.f. 1-9-2008 or on completiton of 20 years service counted from the direct
recruitment grade (Entry date).
-4-MACP
13) That in the mean time, a point was raised in the National Council (JCM) for grant of MACP
in the hierarchy of promotional grade instead of hierarchy of the grade pay. After thread
bare discussion in the Joint Committee of the National Council (JCM), it was decided that
the Cadre/Department may represent for grant of the MACP or ACP Scheme which
shall be beneficial to the incumbents in that cadre. The decision, in this regard, was taken
in the Second Meeting of the Joint Committee on MACP held under the Chairmanship of
Joint Secretary (E), DoP&T on 15-9-2010. The same was circulated under GOI. DoP&T’s
OM No.11/1/2010-JCA dated 6-10-2010. An extract from the decisions on item No.1 –
Provide Grade Pay of the Next Promotional Post under MACP.
As item No.1, 3, 8, 9, 29 & 46 are similar, it was decided to club them together.
After detailed discussions on the issues, it was decided that Para 13 of MACPS
shall be revised to the effect that Organizations / Cadres shall have the option to
choose either the ACP Scheme or the MACP Scheme. Individual options, however,
cannot be permitted.
14) That thereafter, the Third Meeting of the Joint Committee on MACP was held on 15-3-2011
and discussed the issue in the agenda item No.1,3,8,9 and 29 inter alia on Grant of
Financial upgradation in the promotional hierarchy instead of Grade Pay hierarchy under
MACP. An excerpt of the Minutes / decisions of the same circulated under DoP&T’s OM
No.11/1/2010-JCA dated 20-4-2011 is furnished hereunder:-
“ The Staff side reiterated their demand that the financial upgradation under the
MACP Scheme should be granted in the promotional hierarchy of posts instead of
Grade Pay hierarchy. The Staff Side stated that the erstwhile ACP Scheme was
implemented on the recommendation of the 5th CPC and , as such, has become a
part of the service conditions of the employees. The Staff Side, therefore, contended
that the Government cannot impose the MACP Scheme thereby altering the service
conditions to the detriment of the employees.
The Official Side stated that the 6th CPC recommended two financial upgradations
in the Grade Pay hierarchy. However, the Government improved upon the
recommendations of the 6th CPC and has implemented MACP Scheme with three
financial upgradations in the Grade Pay hierarchy after 10, 20 and 30 years.
Referring to earlier discussions held in the matter, the Official Side stated that the
Government was willing to consider revision in para 13 of MACP Scheme to the
effect that organizations/cadres shall have the option either to choose the ACP
Scheme or the MACP Scheme. However, the Staff Side pointed out that such a
dispensation will not be practical and hence there is a need to explore other
alternatives to solve the issue. After discussion, it was agreed that there is no need
to change basic structure of MACP Scheme. However, there is need to separately
examine those cases where MACP Scheme is less advantageous than the ACP
Scheme. Accordingly, it was decided that the Official Side will write to the
Ministry of Railways, Defence, Urban Development, Home and the Department of
Posts to forward the information in respect of the specific categories of employees
where the MACPS is less advantageous than the erstwhile ACP Scheme. The
Official Side also requested the Staff Side to collect and forward such information
to the Department of Personnel and Training for further necessary action…”
-5- MACP
15) That then, the point was again discussed in the Joint Committee on MACP held on 27-7-
2012. An extract of the Minutes of the said meeting on the agenda item No.1 Grant of
MACP in the promotional hierarchy, is furnished hereunder:-
1. Grant of MACP in the promotional hierarchy.-
“…. The Staff side stated that the employees who were in service prior to 1-1-2006 had
the right to retain first two financial upgradations in the promotional hierarchy and
the Government cannot alter the existing services conditions adversely. The Official
side, however, sated that since MACPS is in supersession of earlier ACP Scheme, this
cannot be agreed to. The Staff Side insisted that at least option be given to individual
employees in this regard to facilitate him/ her to opt either ACP or MACP for availing
benefit of financial upgradation. The Staff Side was insistent that either MACPS
should be in promotional hierarchy or individual options should be given to the
employees.
The Official Side stated that it was not possible to agree to individual options and if
they have any alternate suggestions, the Staff Side could come back with them.”
16) That thereafter, the further progress in the matter is not known.
17) That it is learnt that one employee named Raj Pal of CAT, Chandigarh designated as Photo
copier, approached the Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh Bench for grant of MACP in the hierachy
in the anology of a similar post of Hindi Typist and filed OA No.1038/CH/2010 in the case
of Raj Pal Vs.Union of India representaed by the Department of Personnel and
Training and others. The Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh in the order dated 31-5-2011 allowed
the aforesaid OA and accordingly the said employee was granted MACP in the hierarchy of
the promotional post of the comparable cadre i.e. Hindi Typist. Extracts of the aforesaid
judgement of the Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh is furnished as under:-
“13. It has been settled that the ACP would be granted on the completion of the
required years of service in the hierarchy of posts for the posts of LDC/Hindi
Typist, and not in the next higher scale in the recommended scales. The same
principle would have to be applicable in regard to grant of MACP to the
applicant. The only difference is that while in case of ACP two financial
upgradations were granted on completion of 12 and 24 years of service, in case of
MACP, three upgradations on the intervals of 10, 20 and 30 years of service.
15. Be that as it may, the principle enuniciated and settled by the Tribunal / High
Court for grant of ACP cnnot be changed and the same principle would apply for
grant of MACP to him. The only difference is of number of years is required to be
completed. We find no justification to take a different view in the matter.
16. For the foregoing reasons, the impugned order dated 9-8-2010 (Annexure A-1)
qua the applicant, fixing his pay in PB-1 with grade pay of Rs.2400/- under the
second MACP, and the order dated 9-8-2010 (Annexure A-2) are hereby quashed
and set aside. Consequently, the respondents are directed to grant second financial
upgradation to the applicant under the MACPS from due date fix his pay in the
hierarchy of posts decided in his case earlier and to pay the resultant arrears
without interest within a period of 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of
this order….”

<MACP
18) That thereafter, the Union of India represented by the Secretary, Department of Personnel
and Training and others approached the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana at
Chandigarh in CWP No.19387 of 2011 (O&M). The Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and
Haryana at Chandigarh, in the order dated 19-10-2011, dismissed the CWP and issued
orders at page 5 and 6 of the same, which reads as under:-
“… An order adversely affecting an employee in terms of grant of financial
upgradations had already been passed which entailed civil consequences and as
such CAT has rightfully proceeded to adjudicate for the petitioners to the effect
that the earlier scheme of ACP stood superseded by MACP Scheme is being
noticed only to be rejected. The entire objective of introduction of ACP/MACP
Scheme is to alleviate stagnation as regards an employee who has a number of
regular years of service on the same post without any avenue of promotion. It is
such circumstances that a financial incentive is sought to be granted to an employee
upon completion of a certain number of years of service on the same post. Under
the ACP Scheme of 1999, the financial upgradations were to be granted upon
completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular service whereas under the MACP
Scheme such financial upgradations are envisaged upon completion of 10, 20 or 30
years of service, the contention raised on behalf of the petitioners if accepted would
defeat the very objective for which such Schemes have been introduced.”

No.1038/CH of 2010. The petition stands dismissed.”

No move to hike Central Retirement age : PTI
There is raging speculation that the Centre may raise the retirement age of its staff but top sources say there is no such move.
"There is no such plan to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60 years," a reliable source in the government said.
There are about 50 lakh central government employees working in various departments including the Railways across the country.
Recent media reports had claimed that theMinistry of Personnel was working on a proposal to increase the age ofservice by two years as part of government's plan to defer payouts in the form of pensions and other payments to check fiscal deficit.
It was also speculated that the move may be timed ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
Sources in the Ministry said raising retirement age requires a detailed consultation with all stake holders and discussion with the Finance Ministry. Without the Finance Ministry's nod, the matter cannot be processed, they said.
The retirement age for a majority of central government employees is 60 years. However, the age for retirement in case of teachers and scientists is 62 years.
In a related development, Chhattisgarh Govt. has recently increased the age of retirement to 62 years from 60 for its employees.
The age of superannuation varies in state governments with majority of them keeping it at 60 years.
The Centre had in 1998 raised the retirement age of central government employees to 60 from 58 years.
