Lets March towards Merger of Junior and Senior Translators.

Dear Friends, 7th pay commission has already been constituted. Soon they will start inviting representations from different stakeholders. But the big question here is, Are we ready for representing our demands ? Do we really know what and how we have to represent? If our representatives are interested in taking translator's views into account ? Among many issues, one pertains to the merger of Junior and Sr. Translators, which is just an absurdity for many of us. We are also aware of some so called logics for this differentiation, which lack any sound reason. This issue has been in the air for years but never chased seriously. Once again we are on the door-step of a new pay-commission. Mr. Deepak Dagar, Jr. Translator, Ministry of Economic Affairs is throwing some light on this issue. Lets us all think, discuss and decide how to proceed further on this issue.

MERGER OF SENIOR & JUNIOR TRANSLATOR

Deepak Dagar
Demand regarding the merger of aforesaid posts was raised at various times. As per the averments of the pervious association, a couple of years back, a proposal was made to the Cadre Reviewing Committee that these posts should be merged and designated as Translation Officer. This proposal was considered by the Department of Official Language and the Department of Expenditure during the process of Cadre Review, but the same was rejected by the Dept. of Expenditure and reasons for the rejection are still not known to the public in general except that the proposal became a victim of whims and fancies of few of our own  seniors. Rumors and stories are galore in this regard. Thereafter, no one endeavored for review on that proposal. At present, nothing is being done by current association in this aspect.

Now the time has awarded us another opportunity for this merger and definitely we should utilize it by representing this proposal to the 7th Pay Commission.

In case, the merger is accepted by the Pay Commission, pay and all other disparities between senior and junior translator will come to an end and in pursuant to the judgement of the Hon'ble Apex Court next MACP will be equivalent to Grade Pay of Assistant Director. Consequently, it will be highly beneficial for Junior Translators in pecuniary nature.

It is pertinent to mention here that this process will not affect any seniority; the seniority of all translators will remain same whatever is right now.

IF MERGER IS NOT FEASIBLE

If aforesaid merger could not be feasible due to any technical obstacle, in this case the post of Senior Translator may be designated as Translator Officer and it should be upgraded as Group – B (Gazetted) post in equivalent of the post of Section Officer (With 4800 GP).  Since, in past, senior translator was enjoying the pay scale of Section Officer. This disparity was raised only after 2006.

In this second scenario Junior Translator will be equivalent of Assistant (CSS) and Senior Translator will be equivalent of Section Officer (CSS).

To take a decision in aforesaid both situations is not beyond the jurisdiction of 7th Pay Commission.  But, unfortunately, present stakeholders of any association are not doing and also not trying to do anything in this aspect while the matter is already in their knowledge. It’s the call of time that we should come together and must do all possible efforts in this aspect and all responsible and relevant persons must furnish their strategy in this regard.  Now we are on doorstep where we have to decide whether we would like to keep ourselves tight-lipped or demand for that which is just, fair and reasonable. The associations must also disclose their strategy, if any.


Lets' come together and raise the voice.

  1. during 6th paycommission i represented the matter on the disparity on individual basis. no result. has come.
    but during 6th cpc all should raise to the occasion both office other than csols offices in delhi and subordinate office jr and sr translators located all over india , use the blogs such as translatorscols.blogspot.in and rajbasha google groups to know the opinion and submit the representation on regional basis about the merger of scales of jr. and sr. translators . not only to remove the disparity in the scales of jhts of csols and subordinate offices. Every pay commission this problems persists, again we have to go to court. this should not continue. Inspite of supreme court orders , neithrer dept. of expenditure nor department of official language have taken any action rectify the anamoly in the payscales of jhts between csols and subordinate offices. an attempt is being made to exhaust the department channel inorder to file the court on group or individual basis , from department side no reply is given .hence we will be forced to approach cat

    1. Naresh Ji,

      Consequent upon the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission after 01.01.2006, all junior translators are getting their salary with a grade pay of 4200/-. Parity between the scales of CSOLS and Subordinate Offices has been provided by the Department of Official Language itself by issuing the Order dated 24.11.2008, and hence there is no disparity between the scales. If your department is still not answering, you should take the assistance of RTI and if you are circumstantially forced to file any case you must not only ask the fixation or parity but the interest on arrears also.

      As far the merger of Senior and Junior is concerned, we have to work with a great force and you are right that we need to make each and every possible effort to achieve the success on regional basis also.

      Your suggestions and advice are welcomed kindly share, if any.

    2. Naresh Ji, Consequent upon the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission, the Department of Official Language has removed the disparity among the scale of CSOLS and Subordinate Offices, by virtue of O.M. dated 24.11.2008. And, if your department is still not answering your representation, you must approach the Court not only for fixation but for interest on arrears also and you may also seek the compensation of all legal expenses which occurred due to the negligence of your department.

      As far as the merger of Sr. and Jr. is concerned, you are apt that we need to do all possible tasks on regional basis also. We should share and reveal our strategy and raise the voice unanimously. If you would like to share your strategy and suggestions, you are always welcomed. Kindly share, if any.

  2. The merger of these two posts and their designation as Translation officer will be most appropriate for these posts. AS ln most of the subordinate offices the single post of jr. translator exists in the name of Rajbhasha posts who has to perfom all the respnsibilities pertaining to Rajbhasha implementation also in addition to translation work just ike an officer.But because he/she has not been designated as an officer, he/she and his/her work is not taken seriously and they are humiliated also sometimes saying that they behave like an officer though they are just translators. So the job requirements of this post as well requires the designation of an officer.This will also pacify and satisfy the huge group of those jr.Translators working in subordinate offices who have not got any promotion for 23 or 24 years due to being single rajbhasha post in their offices though they are extremely qualified and deserve promotions...so please hurry up ...as this Pay commission may certainly do this in our favour if we all unite and follow this aim seriously..This time we have to achieve this target at any cost...If we will not blow our own trumpet who else will..? So without wasting anymore time we should start working in this direction...

  3. कैसा अनुवादक मंच है, चाहिए सबकुछ लेकिन लिखेंगे अंग्रेजी में ही। वाह भाई वाह। खुद सुधरे नहीं और दूसरों से उम्मीद करते हो कि हमें न्याय दो। अरे अनुवादक मंच के साथियों कृप्या अपना विचार हिंदी में तो प्रकट करो। अगर अंग्रेजी के दुमछल्ले हो तो हिंदी का हक क्यों माँग रहे हो.

  4. A very good move..Its high time the services of the Hindi section is recognized...the staff of the hindi section are recognized only during the Hindi day celebrations..otherwise the work as well as the staff are ridiculed..I also suggest that hindi section should be given independent charge and reporting to Day Director/Director/PDA or whosoever is the Head of office...that way some respectability could e brought to our home as well.as.office.

  8. Dear Ashis Kr, Jain ji in a reply to rti IA&AD has provided that after three years of regular service in panel year i.e. on 01 Jan jr. Translators will be promoted as Sr. translator and hence one of my friends working in P.A.G. (A&E) has been promoted as Sr. Translator after three years of service.

  9. Sir, same case is in EPFO, joining as SSA in 2400 GP and automatically financial up gradation to 2800 GP and also possible 4200 at some technically procedures. But why there is no such financial up gradation in case of JHT's. Officers also given next GP i.e. 6600 after 4-5 years. This this we should brought to the notice of Sh. Modi Ji and his cabinet.
