This item could not be discussed during the last DC/JCM meeting held on 05-06 October 2021 due to paucity of time. However, the matter has been examined in consulation with Concerned Directorates.

The demand raised by the Staff side already stands covered under the extant instructions. Therefore, the item may be treated as closed.

It is hoped that the Federations will appreciate the above position.

Yours faithfully
