Sagar Watch News/ The District President of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Officers and Employees Association, Sagar unit, Gajendra Bohat, has raised concerns over pay anomalies affecting officers of the Madhya Pradesh Subordinate Accounts Service (MPSAS) cadre under the Finance Department.
Bohat stated that nearly 700 officers are serving in the MPSAS cadre, performing highly responsible and sensitive financial duties at various administrative levels.
Despite their significant role in maintaining financial discipline, revenue recovery, pension fixation, pay determination, and preventing financial irregularities, the officers are not receiving salaries commensurate with their responsibilities and experience.
He pointed out a major pay discrepancy, noting that while promotions to the post of Assistant Director (MP Finance Service) carry a pay scale of ₹15,600–39,100 with a Grade Pay of ₹5,400, officers under the first time-bound pay scale after 10 years are receiving ₹9,300–34,800 with a Grade Pay of ₹4,200. Their initial Grade Pay remains ₹3,600 instead of ₹4,200, unlike equivalent posts in other cadres under Pay Band-2.
The association emphasized that correcting the Grade Pay from ₹3,600 to ₹4,200 would automatically resolve the anomaly and would not impose a significant financial burden on the state government.
Bohat added that MPSAS officers often handle additional responsibilities, including deputation assignments and senior-level duties, further expanding their scope of work.
The association has urged the state government to address the long-pending pay disparity and ensure fair compensation in line with the cadre’s responsibilities and contributions.
