(1). PROMOTION: Despite of OFB's instruction to Fys, many Fys did not send the Clubbed Seniority List of CM-II+CM-I (T/NT) in time to OFB, as instructed vide Circular-18 our Branch Secretaries also could not assured the same due to which DPC could not be held as per clubbed seniority.

Further we have discussed and OFB has assured to hold Review DPC after issuing of Merged Seniority List at the earliest.

NOW DGOF & Chairman is telling that He will merge the posts when the case of JWM is regretted and he has sent negative reply to MOD against the query of MOF. NOW the case is pending with MOF-Expenditure for decision. We are putting our best efforts at the level of MOF-Expenditure for merger before any up-gradation of JWM . We have also taken up that in any case if Grade Pay Rs, 4800/- is granted to JWM the same must be granted to AF/FM/SH/JTO under OFB/DGQA/DGAQA /DGNAI also.
