Dear Sir ,

                Administrative facilities to DDMs- Revision thereof

    Please refer to  AC-187 / PPD-56/2011 dated 21/09/2011 on the captioned subject. We thank you for the decision taken by the bank towards revising the administrative facilities to DDMs , which were long long overdue.

    However we are dismayed to note that the revisions affected upon are TOO LATE AND TOO LITTLE , to say the best. Infact many of the existing facilities , which are otherwise available to the officers posted in ROs  have been withdrawn from the DDMs (eg.leased rent to all the officers , irrespective of the population of the town is pegged at Rs.9000/=  , however the same facility has not been extended to the DDMs , officers who are not drawing drivers allowance are eligible for claiming local conveyance but the same has been withdrawn from the DDMs).

  Even the increase in office maintenance allowance @ Rs. 4000/= per month which has been revised after a decade or so is not commensurate to the present inflation rate.  The 'additional' hither to available to DDMs , having tagged districts , too have been unilaterally withdrawn, putting DDMs having tagged districts at a disadvantage vis-a-vis with a DDM having no tagged district.

   More so , the revisions affected too are in great variance to those which were agreed upon by the NBOA at the time of discussions held with CPD/PPD.

    In view of the above we request you to consider suitable modifications to the contents of the AC under reference in consultation with NBOA so as to provide meaningful facilities to the DDMs.

Thanking you

Yours Sincerely ,

(Dr.D.S.Chauhan)
