Subject : Grant of NPL Bonus to teachers of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya-regarding

Ref:
1) Office Memorandum No:7/24/2007/EMA of Ministry of finance, department of Expenditure EIII(A) Branch dt 28/08/2009 granting Non-productivity Linked Bonus to Central Government Employees.
2) No:7/22/2008-EIIIA of Department of Finance, Department of Expenditure dt 02/09/2009- extension of orders of Bonus to Autonomy Bodies.
3) F No: 125-8/2003-04/KVS( Budget) dt 09/09/2009 of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, New Delhi extending the benefit of the orders referred under (1) and (2) to all the eligible employees of KVS as per the Govt of India orders including teaching staff.
4) Letter no: 6-22/2001-02/NVS(F&A) dt 08/10/2009 of NVS ,New Delhi extending the benefits of order no: 1 & 2 to only non-teaching staff of NVS .

Respected Sir,
Kindly refer to the orders cited above regarding extension of Grant of NPL Bonus to the Central Government employees and employees of autonomous organization fully or partially funded by Govt. of India.
In this connection the following facts are submitted for necessary action at your end.
NVS vide order (4) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus only to non-teaching staff of samiti.
KVS vide order (3) referred above has extended the benefit of bonus to all the employees as per the eligibility spelt out by the Govt.
When teachers of Kendriya Vidyalayas are extended the benefit of Bonus, it is beyond the comprehension of any body, why the same benefit is not extended to teachers of NVS.
The last para of orders of NVS extending the benefit of Bonus for the year 2008-09 to the non-teaching staff, states that the matter is referred to the Ministry of HRD for clarifications.
Sir, this is an example of discriminatory approach of NVS officers where as KVS implements the orders with a straight forward interpretation. There is an attitudinal problem with our officers in NVS Headquarters. Whenever there is a benefit for employees, the same is sabotaged by delay tactics. The following are the examples.
a) As per the recommendations of 6th pay Commission, Group D employees, who have passed class X are to be granted the next higher scale, which has been implemented by KVS where as NVS has not done the same( Refer orders of 6th pay Commission and KVS letter no:FNo:F1108K-4/2003-KVSHQ(Admin) dt 21/11/2008).
b) When 5th pay Commission recommended to double the special allowance of 150 /- granted to the principals, the same was not taken up by NVS for implementation.
c) Most of the teachers who have completed 16 to 18 yrs of service in Hyderabad Region didn’t get the benefit of senior scale to be given after completion of 12 years of service as per 5th pay commission reports. The same is extended to all the teachers in other regions where as the case of Hyderabad region has been referred to the Ministry is the version of NVS Headquarters office. When teachers have completed two 21 days in service programs and 12 yrs of service what stops from NVS to grant the senior scale is a mystery.
If the special allowance of 10% granted to teachers of NVS by 6th Pay Commission is a point of doubt for grant of Bonus to teaching staff. We should like to implore on your good self that this special allowance is not an incentive and any interpretation of the same within the purview of incentive is not only misinterpretation and will not hold good in front of Law.
As per the orders (1) & (2) above all the non gazetted group B employees are entitled to receive the NPL Bonus where as section officers whose grade pay is Rs 4200(similar to that of OS) are also entitled for bonus. All the more no employee of group B cadre in an autonomous organization under Govt. of India is holding the gazetted post, they aught to be considered as non gazetted for whom orders (1) & (2) are applicable.

Sir, the intention of this letter is to request your good self kindly to examine the grant of Bonus to teachers and all group B employees of samiti and issue necessary orders urgently as it has been done by KVS authorities.
We shall remain highly obliged to you for your favorable action.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
