Subject:          REQUEST FOR UPGRADATION OF THE POST OF SUPERINTENDENT FROM BPS-16 TO BPS-17 ALONGWITH INCUMBENTS IN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF PAKISTAN.

Dear Sir,

                        I have the honor to state that Finance Division (Regulation Wing) vide its Office Memorandum No. F. 6(4)R.I/2006 dated 29.06.2007 has conveyed the approval of President of Pakistan regarding upgradation of following Clerical/ Auditors posts along with incumbents as detailed below w.e.f. 01.07.2007.

S. No.	Name of the post	Existing BPS	Upgraded BPS

2.	Junior Auditor	BPS-5	BPS-7
3.	Upper Division Clerk (UDC/Senior Clerk)	BPS-7	BPS-9
4.	Assistant/ Head Clerk	BPS-11	BPS-14
5.	Senior Auditor	BPS-11	BPS-14

The Cabinet Secretariat, Establishment Division vide its notification No. S.R.O. 823(I)/2007 dated 08.08.2007 has amended recruitment rules of Ministerial staff as a result of upgradation of the posts of Assistant from BPS-11 to BPS-14, U.D.C. BPS-07 to BPS-09 and L.D.C. BPS-5 to BPS-07 and to this effect was issued.

2.                     Later on Controller General of Accounts, Islamabad vide its Notification No. 455/Estt-III/150-C/Court/Creation of Posts/2008 dated 20.04.2010 in continuation of its notification of even number dated 03.04.2010 and in pursuance of Finance Division O.M. No. F. 9(9)-R/2008-335 dated has upgraded the following posts along with incumbents in the departmentalized accounts offices under the Controller General of Account Organization,

S. No.	Name of the post	Existing Scale	Upgraded Scale
1.	Accounts Officer	BS-17	BS-18
2.	Assistant Accounts Officer	BS-16	BS-17
3.	Senior Auditor/ Assistant Supervisor	BPS-14/15	BPS-16
4.	Junior Auditor	BPS-7	BPS-11

The Geological Survey of Pakistan has departmentalized Accounts under the administrative control of Controller General of Accounts; therefore, the posts of Accounts Officer, Assistant Accounts Officer were upgraded along with incumbents working against these posts.

3.                     Soon after Controller General of Accounts, Islamabad vide its Notification No. 54/Estt-II/AO/238-C/2008 dated 14.01.2011 in pursuance of Establishment Division letter NO. 8/57/2009-R-1 dated 10.06.2010 read with Finance Division O.M. No. F. 1(6)-R-I/2009-1069 dated 20.12.2010 has approved the upgradation/ re-designation of the posts of Accounts Superintendent, BPS-11 as Senior Auditor, BPS-16 and Accounts Assistant, BPS-9 as Junior Auditor, BPS-11 in the office of Chief Accounts Officer, Geological Survey of Pakistan. Now it has come to the knowledge that the posts of Stenographer, BPS-15 and Stenotypist, BPS-12 are also being upgraded to BPS-16 and BPS-14 respectively.

4                      Keeping in view the above it is submitted that all the Ministerial and Auditors posts have been upgraded but the post of Superintendent (BPS-16) being part of Ministerial cadre as notified vide Cabinet Secretariat, Establishment Division Notification No. S.R.O. 1077(I)/2005 dated 15.10.2005 was neglected and not upgraded which is injustice with the incumbents is working against the posts of Superintendent (BPS-16) because in the same department Auditors/Accounts posts along with incumbents upgraded twice but the post of Superintendent (BPS-16) was not placed under consideration for upgradation, even for a single time.

5                      It is therefore, requested that the Establishment Division and Finance Division may be approached for upgradation of the post of Superintendent from BPS-16 to BPS-17 along with incumbents similar to upgradation of Ministerial and Auditors/Accounts posts in the past to fulfill the modes of justice.

Yours faithfully,

……………….
