This Authority had passed an Order on 9 August 2001 revising rates of
levy applicable to the services of the Registered Cargo Handling Workers Wing (RCHW)
of the New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT), which was notified in the Gazette of
India on 29 August 2001. The
NMPT was then advised to formulate within 6 months its proposal for switching
over to a commodity-wise per-tonne rate with productivity linkage for deployment
of Registered Cargo Handling Workers and the validity of the revised rates was
fixed upto 31 January 2002.
2.
The NMPT had vide its letter dated 7 January 2002 requested the
Authority to extend the validity of the existing rates of levy upto 31 March
2002 which was allowed by this Authority recognising the fact that the
NMPT had already initiated action to formulate the proposal as directed. The Order in this regard was passed by this Authority on 11
January 2002.
3.
The NMPT has vide its letter dated 13 March 2002, submitted a proposal
for fixation of commodity-wise per tonne rate with productivity linkage for
deployment of Registered Cargo Handling Workers.
4.
The NMPT has also requested that since the processing of the proposal and
finalisation of the rates by this Authority will take time, it is requested that
the validity of the existing rate of levy be extended upto 31 May 2002 or till
the approval of the rates on tonnage basis for the RCHW wing, whichever is
earlier.
5.
Recognising the fact that the NMPT has already submitted the proposal for
consideration of this Authority and the processing of the case following the
procedure prescribed will take some time, this Authority is inclined to
allow the existing rates to operate till a new rates are prescribed.
6.
In the result, and based on a collective application of mind, this
Authority extends the validity of the existing rates of levy applicable to the
services of the NMPT RCHW till disposal of the proposal for revision of these
rates received now.
