In-situ Promotions at SAG level in ISS
According to insiders, the ISS Board headed by Cabinet Secretary has approved in-situ promotion of ISS officers having put-in 20 years of Service to the level of SAG.

This has been done despite the fact that recommendations of the VI CPC are yet to be implemented by the Government, implying the importance of statistics and economics in today's information age. While welcoming this step of Government, other Group "A" service officers like from IFoS, IIS, ITS, IOFS, etc are wondering whether similar view for all other Group "A" Services with lot of stagnation would be taken by the Government outside VI CPC so as to bring parity amongst atleast the Group "A" Services."

Manmohan or Manu may skip going to G8 meet,
He'll say his own diktat to save money karr raha hoo meet!!!
As you know Manu had issued a diktat to his Ministers to drop apne apne overseas travel plan!
And he'll say he has to obey his own ban!!!
If he goes to G8 he'll have to meet Bush!!!
And Bush will say, " Howdy Pardner you said the Deal you'll be able to push"!
Though Manu could go and pretend he's lost his voice and respond in sign language,
And then in 'meaningful' conversation Bush ko karr sakke ga Manu engage!!!
So UPA has run away to fight another day!!!!
And for these power games ultimately India and Indians will pay!!!
Bottom line is UPA and Commies cannot face the Public so they don't want polls!!!
Nowadays with possibility of pre poll looming all of them are dukhi souls!!!
On the other hand BJP is ready to face the Public and is ready for pre poll!!!
As they know post election there will be a reversal of role!!!
BJP will form Sarkaar and UPA will be the Opposition!!!
And for UPA this is indeed a very grim proposition!!!
Elections in winter should be good!!
One thing everyone is in a good mood!!!
The heat and stickiness have gone and redness is back in the cheeks!!!
Only problem is one has to take one too many leaks!!!
I'm saying this because Sonia they say is contemplating a winter poll!!!
And she's now evaluating that what will be the climate's role???
She's been told inflation would by then be in control!!!
So December would be a good time to go in for a poll!!!
Madam Ji for inflation this Sarkaar will have to pay!!!
Congress ko Indian voter karre ga waylay!!
Pawar and Paswan may take refuge in UNPA and Laloo will be benched!!!
High time that from Laloo's hands the reins of power are wrenched!!
Laloo says now Sarkaar should forget the Deal and tackle inflation on a war footing!!!!
Aside he says Deal will get no votes but inflation will get from voters a booting!!
Laloo is in a flux as he knows be it pre polls or on time elections he's out!!!!
Nitish will win pre poll or on time election bout!!!!
Laloo will be knocked out!!!!
And on this Laloo too does not have any doubt!!!!
So he wants to enjoy power before the sooka (famine),
Because then for at least five years for power he's going to be bhooka!!
In a tizzy Laloo has upped his kheni dose and spitting is much more!!!!
Into the spittoon or onto the street empties his oral store!!!!
He's been advised to cut the hair sticking out of his ear or kaan!!!
And in a superstitious frame of mind yeh baath jaye gaa Laloo maan!!
' These are my antennas' at one time Laloo used to say about his kaan ke baal!!!!
Used to boast ' that's why mujhe pathaa chall jaathi hai dushman ki harr chaal'!!!
Maybe he can auction his kaan ke baal or hair!!!!
USP …… Phenomenally enhance the hearing abilities of your aural pair!!!
'Inflation will recede from double to single digit ' PC's new call!!!
Now he says from double digit to single digit inflation will fall!!
PC's now trying to position double digit inflation as high,
As per his argument if inflation is in single digit people should not sigh!!
So now as per PC's new formula inflation up to 9.99% is low!!!
Inflation is high once from 9.99% to 10% karti hai go!!!!
Manu is issuing be frugal diktats and Hooda's splurging on cars!!!!
Having a whale of a time as knocked out by inflation Public is seeing stars!!
Hooda's priorities and principals are funny!!!
Buying cars as people bleed and you all saw how he stood up for Venod Sharma's sonny!
Venod Sharma's sonny is none other that Manu Sharma who shot Jessica Lal!!!!!
And it's well known that Venod Sharma is Hooda's OSD - Maal!!!!
Amar Singh is indulging in long distance politics from Uncle Sam's Land!!!!!
On 29th of this month back into 'the ring' he'll land!!!
Amongst other things he's there for his health!!!
Though some say he's there for health and wealth!!!
Confucius says…. we spoil our health for wealth!!!
And all the wealth in the World cannot buy back lost health!!!

Sixth Pay Commission Says Rs.100/- =Rs.12830/-.Y Mishra has rightly said that the Directors who are in the SAG but working on deputation in Central Government under Central Staffing scheme as Director and their pay was fixed as 18300/- maximum of NFJAG, after opting the Proforma Promotions, are the worst sufferers. In earlier pay scale, the difference in basic pay was just Rs.100/- (18400-18300= Rs.100/-), but this 100 rupees difference has become now Rs.12830/- (52280-39450=12830/-). This may be more if other allowances are added to it. So the interest of such officers, the Pay Commission should review its decision. If the officers in the pay scale of Rs. 14300-22400 can be put in the Pay Band 4, then why not the Directors of SAG rank? The Review Committee should avoid this greatest anomaly while giving its recommendations.

Retirement age should be 58

Ideally the retirement age should be at 58 yrs only but since it's an issue no politico would dare to touch for the time being and it's in the interest of nation as well as political class to leave it untouched as it's difficult to say which way it bounce back to affect their prospects. The current limit is good enough for the outgoing staff and it's time they should give a thought to the younger mass for the sake of an efficient and vibrant nation.

Induce work culture

I don't understand this debate on retirement age. These days with opportunities galloping I hardly see anyone after retirement jogging for nothing. Nobody eats into any one's share. Retirement gives a feeling of an official license to go home and wait for death. You raise my retirement age to 90; I swear I will refuse to die. We need to induce work culture into the government offices rather than debate on when should one retire. Someone rightly posted the comments; if after 60 employees are allowed to work on compassionate grounds then the country is being run by politicians working on compassionate ground.

Home Town Concession:

At present this facility is once in a year for Bachelors and once in two years for family person. We have been requesting to remove this clause and allow this concession once in a year irrespitive of being bachelor or a family man. It seems this Pay Commission is not interested in it. The most affected are the persons whose home town is in the south. Netiher the MPs/Ministers from the Southern States seems to show any interest because they can fly to their place and come to Delhi at their wish an pleasure for which lakhs of public money is wasted. These MPs/Ministers should be ashamed that they are not bothered about our interests. Anyhow; local and general elections being around the corner; we along with our families here and also our relatives at our native would definately vote against this government. It may or may not be effective; but alteast we can satisfy our ego.

Department of Personnel & Training:

Recently vide your order dt:16.6.08 you have consitituted a Committe for cadre restructing of the CSS only to look into the stagnation at various stages.

What sin we CSSS have committed. May be the Sr.PPS/ PPS/Functional Scale PS are enjoying with good salary. But the fate of others is pathetic. In fact, a Grade "D" who has put in 25 years of service is a adhoc PA. Only we Grade "D" and PAs are forced to stay late beyond office hours and also are required to come on holidays. What solution DOPT has for us. If there is not solution for we PAs and Grade "D"s; DOPT may rechristen our CSSS Service in respect of PAs/Grade "D" as Central Secretariat Dog Service.

BSP will get 75 per cent seats in UP
BSP will get more than 75 per cent seat in comming Lok Sabha polls. Your observation regarding SP graph is OK. BJP and Congress will be major looser in Uttar Pradesh elections. In addition BSP will do better in coming state assembly election in Madhya Prades, Chhattisgarh, Rajstan and Delhi. So, it may be in balance in power in coming Central Government. Thanks.
