Those teachers who had opted for an earlier promotion scheme called Merit
Promotion Scheme had been given lower scales of Pay for the post of Professor and
Reader. The last Pay Review Committee had abolished the dual scales of pay in
respect of Professor but had not done so in the case of Readers. This is clearly
anomalous.
The Pay Review Committee, therefore, recommends that dual scales of pay in
respect of the position of Reader should be abolished and all those who are
Readers—whether promoted under MPS or CAS—should be given the same revised
scales of pay recommended by this Committee.
Granting of two Advance Increments at the time of Promotion as
Associate Professor
The last Pay Review Committee had recommended that all those who are promoted
to the post of Reader would be granted two advance increments at the time of fixing
their salaries in the new post. However, a large number of teachers from across the
country have represented that they have been denied this benefit on various grounds
including that they had already received the benefit earlier on completion of the Ph.d.
degree.
Since the last Pay Review committee had placed no restrictions of any kind on
granting of these advance increments, the Committee recommends that all those
teachers who have been denied the benefit of these two increments should be given
the same.
Promotions under Career Advancement Scheme
The last Pay Review Committee had recommended that all those teachers who are
promoted under CAS should be given the scales of pay and arrears of the new post
with effect from the date of their eligibility and not from any later date. However, a
large no of teachers promoted to various posts under CAS have been denied this.
The Committee, therefore, recommends that all those who have been promoted to
various positions after the implementation of the last Pay Review Committee
recommendations should be given the benefits of promotion, including arrears with
effect from the date of their eligibility for promotion.
Eligibility of Promotees under MPS for Promotion under Career
Advancement Scheme
A number of teachers who had been promoted under the earlier scheme of Merit
Promotion Scheme have been denied a second promotion under Career
Advancement Scheme although there is no such restriction as per the
recommendations of the last Pay Review Committee recommendations.
The Committee recommends that all those who had been promoted previously under
the Merit Promotion Scheme should be considered eligible for a second promotion
under CAS.
It has been brought to the notice of the Committee that some institutions are denying
promotion opportunities to teachers under CAS because they are also applicants for
positions advertised for direct recruitment. No such restrictions were put in place in
this regard by the last Pay Review Committee.
The Pay Review Committee recommends that all those teachers who have applied
for direct recruitment against openly advertised positions should not be debarred
from being considered for promotion under the Career Advancement Scheme.
