Latest News about UGC submitted its reports to MHRD; Now UGC pay hike FEDCUTA opposes promotion based on students evaluation
The FEDCUTA Association demanded that promotion to professorship in colleges of Central Universities must be introduced, on the line of the Government's policy to grant three promotions in one's career.
It also demanded that readers, associate professors and lecturers, who were in the pre-revised scale of 12000-18300, must be placed in the pay band 4 instead of PB 3 as recommended by the UGC appointed Chadha Committee.
In a statement, FEDCUTA president A N Misra said the existing four-tier structure--lecturer, lecturer in senior scale, reader and professor--should not be disturbed and accordingly the hierarchies sought to be introduced among professors and readers should be scrapped.

He said the parity of librarian and computer professionals with that of pay scale, retirement age, study leave and entitlement due to research must be provided for.
He said the Association will be forced to agitate if these issues are not resolved amicablyThe higher scale recommended are for lecturers in senior scale and selection scale and readers in selection grade. “These grades will bring teachers at par with bureaucrats,” a UGC official said. Increase in pay structure was done by UGC following a representation of Federation of Central Universities Teacher’s Association Federation of Central Universities Teachers Association (FEDCUTA). UGC chadda Committee discussions by reader's and professors.
In a report submitted to the HRD Ministry this week, the UGC has agreed with the committe’s recommendations that the Centre should foot the entire bill of the increase in pay scales of teachers of state universities for the first five years. Thereafter, for another five years it should bear 50 per cent of expenses of the state universities, the UGC has recommended.
Till now, the Centre used to pay for 80 per cent of the extra burden. But, even after that many states failed to implement UGC pay scales for university and college teachers.
“To prevent any such a situation we have recommended that the Centre should pay the entire cost of implementing the new pay scales,” a UGC official said. But, the ministry, which would discuss the new pay structure may face a problem of getting a clearance from the Finance Ministry to foot the bill.

Discripancies in Prof. Chadda committee report (Panishment/humilation to Associate Professors/Readers)
There is clear panishment/discrimination of Associate Professor/Readers in Prof. Chadda Committee Report. Prof. Chadda have degraded/humilated the Reader in light of following.
1. The basic salaries of Lecturer, Reader and Professor was in ratio of 1.0 : 1.5 : 2.05 and 1.0 : 1.68 : 2.045 in 5th Pay commission implemented w.e.f. 1.1.1996 and 4th Pay commission implemented w.e.f. 1.1.1986, respectively.
Basic salary on 1.1.2006 (As per Prof. Chadda’s Report) will be
Lecturer/Assistant Professor 15600 + 6600 = 22200
Reader/Assistant Professor 15600 + 8000 = 23600
Professor 37400 + 1100 = 48400
in the ratio of 1.0 : 1.06 : 2.16 for the Lecturer, Reader and Professor, respectively.
Have Prof. Chadda done justice with Readers in his report or he has humiliated them?
2. Govt. of India have put the following scales of 5th pay commission
(i). 8000 – 275 – 13500/
9000 – 275 – 9550/
10325 – 325 – 10975/
10000 – 325 – 15200/
12000 – 375 – 16500/
12000 – 375 – 18000/
into Pay band 3 where the yearly increment was less than Rs. 375/= PM and end salary was maximum of Rs. 18000/ and below.
(ii). 14300 -400- 18300/=
15100 - 400 - 18300/=
16400 – 450 – 20000/=
16400 -450 – 20900/=
14300 – 450 – 22400/=
18400 – 500 – 22400/=
All into new Pay band 4 where annual increment was Rs.400/= PM and above.
Readers/Associate Professors were in scale 12000- 420 - 18300/=
having higher annual increment of Rs. 420/=
Thus, Readers/Associate Professors scale does not match exactly with pay scales of Central Govt. Employees in 5th Pay Commission. Readers/Associate Professors scale has similar end pay and higher annual increment (Rs. 420/=) than those pay scales which have been put into Pay Band 4 ( as in cases of Rs.14300 -400- 18300 and 15100 - 400 – 18300}. Only their starting basis was little less.
So Prof. Chadda have considered the negative points and omitted the positive point of the Readers/Associate Professors scale and have bunched them in Pay Band 3.
Consequence: Reader with longer experience will be getting salaries equivalent to new lecturers and ratio of basic salary of Reader and Professor will be 23600 : 48400 i.e. 1.0 : 2.05 whereas this ratio was 1.0 : 1.37 and 1.0 : 1. 21 in the 5th pay commission implement w.e.f 1.1.1996 and 4th pay commission implemented w.e.f. 1.1.1986.
In view of above, Readers/Associate Professors are feeling humiliated.
Request with Government (Chairman UGC, Hon’ble Minister HRD, Prime Minister and UPA chair person, Secretary of concerned Departments)
1. In light of above, please honour your own revision of 6th Pay commission recommendation and put the Reader/ Associate Professors in Pay band 4 as you have done in case of Central Govt. Employees inorder to save the humiliation of Teachers.
The 6th Pay Commission has not recommended the pay scales for the Computer Centre staff like System Analyst/Programmers ( 8000-275-13600),Senior System Programmer (12000-420-18300) and Director (16400-450-23000), who are equivalent to lecturer, reader and Professor respectively as already notified by UGC. This Discrimination may be sorted out.
