      | Patna,   (Bihar Times): The All India Federation of State
Civil and Administrative   Service Associations has
sought increase in quota for promotion to IAS   cadre
from 33 per cent at present to 50 per cent.
 |  |      The secretary   general of the Federation, Jiban
    Chandra Chakrovorty, while addressing the   15th
    Convention in Patna on Sunday said that his trade
    union unanimously   pressed for setting up of a national
    pay commission for state civil service   officers to
    bring in uniformity in pay-scale. He said that at
    present the   pay-scale of state civil services varied
    from one state to   another.
 Quoting Shetty Committee Recommendations he said that
    their   pay-scale be made on the pattern of IAS and
    judicial officers.
 
 The   Convention also called for the better
    co-ordination between the IAS and state   civil service
    and claimed that the officers of the state service are
    much   more responsive than the IAS. The Bihar
    Administrative Service Association   hosted the
    Convention.
