Sub: - Regarding Anomaly in UGC Regulations 2010

Ref: Website notification in UGC website.

Sir,

Regarding the subject mentioned above I hereby wish to state that I am a Professor in Physics at Govt.J.Yoganandam Chhattisgarh College, Raipur under the Govt. of Chhattisgarh, Higher Education Department. I draw your kind attention to Para 9.4(i) and 9.10 of schedule for clause 6.8.0 of the UGC regulation 2010. The Para 9.4(i) entitles three non compounded advance increments to a teacher acquiring PhD in service on or after 1.1.2006, while Para 9.10 bars the Pre 2006 PhD holders for such advance increments. As a result of this condition many senior teachers, who were drawing more pay in pre revised scheme, are drawing less pay as compared to their juniors after fixation of pay in the new scheme 2006.
To cite an example, if ‘X’ is a teacher for the past more than 20 years who is already a PhD and registered as a guide and ‘Y’ is the student teacher who has been awarded the said PhD degree after 01.01.2006 under the guidance of ‘X’ . ‘Y’ shall be awarded 03 advance increments and as a result the student will draw more salary than the guide. Is it not a paradox? The same is the case with me and I am getting less pay as compared to many teachers who are junior to me in the state run Govt. colleges, which is an anomaly of UGC notification 2006 and the regulations 30th June 2010. Since in the present scheme the annual increments are compounded I will be at a recurring financial loss every year and will also be fixed at a lower stage than my juniors in next pay revision.
For your kind perusal a table showing comparative details of teachers drawing more pay in my college after getting the benefit of Para 9.4(i) is attached herewith.
This anomaly can be rectified by awarding 03 advance increments to all teachers holding PhD degree prior to the cut off date of 01.01.2006.
You are therefore, requested to look in to the matter and grant three advance increments to all the teachers who have acquired PhD before 1.1.2006.
