The narrative of a recent meeting of some ESM
with the 7th CPC has elicited some comments – of praise and derision
– and the latter variety has based itself on certain perceptions and “quick”
reference of the terrible state that the Armed Forces officers are vis-à-vis
the IAS officers.
Writing the truth based on personal experiences
elicited some more unkind comments and even a threat that if this author does
not publish all his comments, then he would cease to comment, on this blog
atleast.
Therefore, after having introspected on the
reasons why authentic and documented information is being posted on this blog,
this author scoured the World Wide Web to provide both the information as well
as the sources, should any reader wish to (1) check the authenticity, and (2)
increase his/her knowledge base by reading more.

Para 3 (2) Every member of the Service

Explanatory Memorandum
A new pension system based on defined
contribution has been introduced in respect of persons recruited to the
Government service from the 1st day of January 2004. As the new

interest of existing officers of All India Service shall not be affected by
giving retrospective effect to the amendment.
For more details see: DOP&T U.O. No.
25014/14/2001-AIS(III) dated 08 Sep 2009.
Chapter
9. The Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Rules 2007
Para
2. Definitions

numerical weighted mean score arrived at for overall grading above which an
officer shall be regarded as fit for promotion or empanelment, as the case may

Para
4. Fixation of initial pay.
Para
5. Regulation of increments.
Para
6. Withholding of increments.
Para
7. Grant of advance increments
Chapter
25. Miscellaneous Executive
Instructions concerning All India Services
1. Confirmations:
1.2. Confirmations
will accordingly be of three types: -
(i) an
officer on completion of probation should be confirmed in the Service. The
number of officers to be confirmed will be limited only by the sanctioned
strength of the cadre.
(ii) an
officer on promotion to the senior scale may be confirmed in that scale. Such
confirmations will be limited by the sanctioned strength of the cadre; and
(iii) an
officer may be confirmed in specified post or group of posts e.g., the post of
Chief Secretary or Inspector General of Police or Posts of Magistrate and
Collector
……………………………
2.1. There
is no provision in the All India Services Rules which make it necessary that an
officer of the Service should be confirmed at every stage of his career. But
nonetheless such a convention has always been in existence. Officers of the
junior scale on their appointment to the senior scale should be allowed to
officiate in such posts for some period roughly one or two years, at the end of
which a definite decision should be taken regarding their confirmation in the
senior scale on the basis of their suitability and performance during the
period of officiation. ……
3. Financial
Sanctions.- Individual
sanctions and orders (including clarificatory orders) having financial
bearing in regard to any of the All India Services Rules may be issued direct
to the Audit Officers concerned by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Ministry
of Finance need only be consulted and it would be enough if there is a mention
of this fact in such orders and sanctions. Wherever the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India
has been consulted, this fact should also be indicated in the order/sanction.
(2) The
expression "Central Government" used in the All India Services Rules
means `the Ministry of Home Affairs' (in respect of matters which have no
financial bearing) or `the Ministry of Home Affairs in consultation with the
Ministry of Finance' (in respect of matters having financial bearing.)
Monetary
Spend Limit on mobiles/telephones:
Joint Secy & above : Rs 1200
p.m. & Rs 14,400 p.a.
Others : Rs 1000 p.m. & Rs 12,000 p.a.

Perks
The advert states "Apparently,
there are about 61 types of facilities, benefits and allowances that are
applicable to Army in general.
In fact if one were to work out the remuneration of a service officer vis-à-vis
a comparable job in the private sector, on the basis of ‘cost to company’ you would be astounded to find the returns of
an Army man to be more if not the same.
Some of these perks which are not quantified in
terms of cash and are immune to inflation are as follows in case of a
Lieutenant, which is the starting rank."
