Consequent upon the restructuring of the Artisan Cadre vide MoD letter of even number dated the 14.06.2010 framing of RRs for the posts of Master Craftaman and Chargeman could not be finalized as DOP&T has objection to promotion of MCM as Chargeman in the same GP of Rs.4200/-. Moreover, Ministry of Finance has also not agreed to grant of increment to MCM on their promotion in the same GP of Rs.4200/- to the post of Chargemen.

↓				↓
Highly Skilled Grade-I (PB-1, GP Rs.2800)	→	(4 years as HS-I through LDCE)	→	Chargeman (PB-2, GP Rs.4200)

→		(on eligibility basis) (Foreman / JWM) (PB-2, GP Rs.4600)		←

3. As per the above model the following is proposed :
