4. As most of these anomalies remained unresolved till mid 2014,
MoD suggested that the issue be taken up 7th CPC which has already
been constituted by then. However Services felt that till the time MoD and MoF
do not refer the issues to 7th CPC, no cognisance would be taken of
the anomalies. Further correspondence on the issues are appended below: -
(a) AFPCC letter Air HQ/99140/03/AFPCC dated 15
Jul 14 to MoD for confirming that MoD has referred the issues to 7th
CPC and requesting for MoD communication to 7th CPC.
(b) MoD replied vide No. 22(4)/2012/D
(Pay/Services) dated 22 Jul 14 asking TRIPAS to take further necessary action
on the matter.
(c) AFPCC letter No. Air HQ/99140/03/AFPCC
dated 05 Aug 14 to MoD for undertaking the matter with Department of
Expenditure/MoF.
(d) MoD vide note No.
22(4)/2012-D(Pay/Services) dated 25 Aug 14 stated that the five Core Anomalies
are referred to 7th CPC.
(e) Based on a query raised by Army Pay
Commission Cell on the status of core anomalies, the MoD once again stated vide
No. 22(4)/2012-D (Pay/Services) dated 03 Sep 14 that the five Core Anomalies
have already been referred to the 7th CPC vide their note quoted at
para 4 (d) above.
