@ Dr. Kamal : The Code of conduct will not affect this as the process already started and ordinance reached Dept. before Code of conduct. Had the Ordinance not been issued by Gov. by now, then it would had affected completely.

Yestarday Dr. NS Khinda (President RVO) and Dr. JS Bajwa (President RMO) met newly joined FC (RD), Mr. MS Sandhu to inquire about the delays in the process of salary and the service rules amendment. FC Assured that its being done and will be done at the earliest. And today the delegation (Dr. NS Khinda & Dr. JS Bajwa) met RD Minister, S. Brahmpura at Chd. The minister on persuation of the delegation called all the officials involved, to fasten the remaining process to release our full scale salaries. Its worth mentioning here that despite various rumors and false messages sent by people, the notification is yet awaited. Only the ordinance has been passed yet by governor (Issued 22nd july & Reached RD on 28th July). You might've seen the copies of this Ordinance at Fb or here at this website.(Not to be confused with notification). The Dir. RD will issue the notification on basis of that Ordinance and the rest of the process will follow. If you heard that its notified (as per some rumors), confirm the same from your ZP as if its notified, they must've got the fax and further directions. Although its a 30 min. process from typing the notification, signing it (by Dir. RD), and sending Fax to all ZP and FC (RD), but its being delayed. And that particular notification will reveal the actual status of NPA (We getting or not & from when ?).

Here's the copy of PCS Act (amended) repeal ordinance dated 26/07/2011. this ordinance has already reached RD as on 28/07/2011. The Dir. RD on basis of this ordinance will issue Notification to RD/ZPs soon. We'd like to mention here that the Code of conduct due to SGPC elections do not have any effect on this as its been already approved. Its also worth mentioning that if the NPA matter isn't resolved in-vivo then it won't be resolved as long as the CODE OF CONDUCT is in effect.

Its true. Only the ordinance has been issued yet and notification has yet to be issued by/to RD. But it won't even take long now as the ordinance has already reached RD Director, and notification will be issues soon. The bigger concern at this moment is NPA.

Tribune : "Chandigarh, July 23 Electoral politics has forced the Punjab Government to withdraw the controversial Punjab Civil Services (Rationalisation of Certain Conditions of Service) Act, 2011. This Act had mandated that all new employees to get only basic salary for three years. Passed in haste during the last Vidhan Sabha Session without any debate, the SAD-BJP Government has given a quiet burial to the Act by bringing an ordinance to scrap it. Punjab Governor Shivraj Patil signed the ordinance scrapping the Act on Friday. Sources in the government said that the SAD-BJP alliance was in a hurry to undo the damage caused by this controversial legislation. After its implementation in April this year, the legislation had put every new government employee on probation for three years. This had caused immense heartburn, besides making new employees get less than half the salary, for equal work, as compared to those who were recruited prior to April 5, 2011. The cash-strapped government had introduced this legislation on pattern of contract employment in a bid to save money. As per this legislation, a new employee was put on probation for three years during which time he or she would draw only basic salary - the carry home was much lower than regular employees as it did not include any allowances. Besides, all such employees were subject to annual appraisals and could be dismissed without notice. Many new employees had quit high-paying private jobs to join the government only to find their salaries reduced to one-fourth of what they were drawing previously. Sources in the government said that since the Congress had announced that it would withdraw the controversial legislation if voted to power, SAD-BJP alliance did not want Zila Parishad doctors, government teachers, public relations officers, etc. (that were most affected) to turn against the government on this issue. All the new employees were placed in the minimum pay band. For the 1,200-odd qualified doctors and veterinarians, the government remuneration was a mere pittance. At least 72 MBAs and post-graduates who had joined Punjab Agro Industries Corporation, too got salaries ranging between Rs 8,400 to Rs 9,000. With the scrapping of the legislation, the salaries of all the employees would increase manifold. Other departments where voices of discontent were loud, included the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, Punjab Water Supply and Sanitation Department and the Punjab Secretariat staff. As per the Punjab Civil Services (Rationalisation of Certain Conditions of Services) Act, 2011, all recruits in group “A” to “D” were to undergo a three-year induction period during which they would be given a basic pay of Rs 10,000 or less, sans perks or facilities. This three-year period, extendable up to five years, would not be included in the service tenure, affecting their pension, gratuity and other benefits. The seniority of these employees was to be calculated from the day they complete the induction period. They were entitled to only 12 days of casual leave and 30 days of extraordinary leave on account of sickness or accident. Women were eligible for three months’ maternity leave. During the induction period, the services of the employee could be terminated at a one-month notice. After the scrapping of the legislation, these employees would now be treated on a par with other regular employees. "

@ Dr. daman : we understand your genuine concern and frustration but blaming anyone for this or cursing fellow brothers isn't also gonna get us anything. We're doing whatever we could and we're always open to suggestions. you indeed might be having better plans or there might be few things that although important but we could've skipped them and you or anyone of us could come up with those. We all have common goal. and after all that has happened till date and the extent of what we've achieved so far, i guess there's no point of being sarcastic. We should be rather thankful to those people who for us visit Chd. every other day, meet ministers, and other officials regularly. They're not just doing for themself but also for everyone of us. And especially now when we're very close to our goal.

Our file has been cleared by Finance and Legal dept. Pb. Govt. This time an RMO delegation headed by Dr. Bajwa has personally seen n confirmed the same.. Hope its gets through Gov. soon too.

We've now confirmed that governor has not signed the file and it has been returned to legal dept. for re-evaluation. We were deliberately provided wrong info to keep us calm. Although we won't name anyone in particular but on behalf of Punjab Govt., it wasn't a good move.

@Dr daman, yesterday evening a delegation of RVOs and RMOs met CM at Vill. Kot bhai (Muktsar), and asked about the notification. CM assured that it'll be done in few days.

Due to strong recommendations by AH minister, the process resumed. Interview to be held from 13 onwards.

Well Said Doc.

The Hon' Governor, Punjab today signed our file for PCS Act waive off for doctors. Notification will reach RD in a day or 2 (working day). So congrats everybody and start preparing your shopping lists .
