Extract of Item No.3
3. Request for issue suitable instructions to all the concerned for drawal of Pay and Allowances for Sundays and Holidays to the substitutes appointed by GDS on Leave Without Allowances for longer periods at a stretch and the Minimum TRCA of the relative post.

Breif : In some divisions in the Circle the DDOs are denying for drawal of Pay and Allowances to Substitutes appointed by the GDS staff for Sundays and Holidays while availing their Leave Without Allowances for full calendar months continuously against the privilege. Similarly some of the  DDOs are drawing the first TRCA of the cdre to the substitutes instead of minimum TRCA of the post to which the regular GDS is due.

In this connection, as per the orders of the competent authority, I am directed to intimate that,

1. Regarding drawing the First TRCA of the Cadre to the substitutes instead of minimu TRCA of the post to which the regular GDS is due the clarificatory orders of the competent authority were already communicated to all Regions / units in HCR vide this office letter of even No. dated 24-11-2011 stating that the minimum of the TRCA drawn by the regular incumbent which may any of the authorized TRCA is applicable to the substitutes, but not the minimum of the First TRCA applicable to the GDSs concerned.

3. Regarding denying of drawl of Pay and Allowances to Substitutes appointed by the GDS staff for Sundays and Holidays while availing their Leave Without Allowances, there is no provision in GDS (C&E) rules, 2011 denying drawal of Pay and Allowances to substitutes appointed by the GDS staff for Sundays and Holidays.

Kindly arrange issue of suitable instructions to all concerned on the subject as per the above instructions.
