Dear Sir,

Sub:- Item No. 2, 10 and 48 of the Joint Committee of MACP – Agenda items of the Standing Committee:

Kindly refer to the above all the three items, which were discussed together pertains to the date of effect of the MACP Scheme which was introduced by the Government on the basis of the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission. The Staff Side demand to give effect to the revised promotional scheme from the date of the effect, the Report of the Commission itself i.e on 1.1.2006 was unfortunately not accepted by the official side and was not allowed to reach its logical conclusion i.e. either by an agreement or disagreement.
[post_ads]
We now send herewith copy of the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter vide W.P 3744 of 2016 dated 08/12/2017.

The Hon’ble apex court has categorically stated that the Govt’s decision to make the scheme effective prospectively was wrong and the scheme has to be implemented with effective from 1.1.2006 . We request that the Govt. may issue necessary orders making the MACP Scheme Effective from 1.1.2006 instead of 1.9.2008. While issuing such an order it may also be clarified that the employees who were granted the benefit of ACP between 1.1.2006 to 31.08.2008 are not adversely affected and no recovery is ordered from them in this connection.

Thanking you

Relief to salaried taxpayers: standard deduction of Rs 40,000 allowed in lieu of present exemptions 
2.5 Crores salaried employees and pensioners to benefit Differently-Abled will continue to get transport allowance at enhanced rate 

In order to provide relief to salaried taxpayer, the Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley, proposed to allow a standard deduction of Rs. 40,000/- in lieu of the present exemption in respect of transport allowance and reimbursement of miscellaneous medical expenses. However, the transport allowance at enhanced rate shall continue to be available to differently-abled persons. Also, other medical reimbursement benefits in case of hospitalisation etc., for all employees shall continue.

Presenting the General Budget 2018-19 in the Parliament here today, the Finance Minister said, “Standard deduction shall significantly benefit the pensioners also, who normally do not enjoy any allowance on account of transport and medical expenses. The revenue cost of this decision is approximately Rs.8,000 crores. The total number of salaried employees and pensioners who will benefit from this decision is around 2.5 crores.”
[post_ads]
Shri Jaitley said, “The Government had made many positive changes in the personal income-tax rate applicable to individuals in the last three years. Therefore, I do not propose to make any further change in the structure of the income tax rates for individuals. There is a general perception in the society that individual business persons have better income as compared to salaried class.”

The Finance Minister further said, “Apart from reducing paper work and compliance, this will help middle class employees even more in terms of reduction in their tax liability.”

वेतनभोगी कर दाताओं को राहत : वर्तमान कटौतियों के बदले 40,000 रुपए की मानक कटौती

2.5 करोड़ वेतनभोगियों और पेंशनभोगियों को लाभ प्राप्त होगा

दिव्यांगजनों को मिलने वाला परिवहन भत्ता बढ़े दर पर मिलना जारी रहेगा
प्रकाशन तिथि: 01 FEB 2018 2:26PM by PIB Delhi

वेतनभोगी कर दाताओं को राहत देने के उद्देश्य से केन्द्रीय वित्त एवं कॉरपोरेट मामलों के मंत्री श्री अरुण जेटली ने कहा कि परिवहन भत्ता और विविध चिकित्सा व्ययों के संदर्भ में वर्तमान कटौतियों के बदले 40,000 रुपए की मानक कटौती की अनुमति दी गई है। हालांकि दिव्यांगजनों को बढ़े दर पर मिलने वाला परिवहन भत्ता जारी रहेगा।
[post_ads_2]
संसद में आज आम बजट 2018-19 प्रस्तुत करते हुए वित्त मंत्री ने कहा कि मानक कटौती से पेंशनभोगियों को महत्वपूर्ण लाभ मिलेगा, जो सामान्यतया परिवहन और चिकित्सा व्यय के कारण भत्ते का लाभ नहीं ले पाते। इस निर्णय की राजस्व लागत लगभग 8,000 करोड़ रुपए है। इस निर्णय से लाभांवित होने वाले वेतनभोगी कर्मचारियों तथा पेंशनभोगियों की कुल संख्या लगभग 2.5 करोड़ है।

श्री जेटली ने कहा, ‘सरकार ने पिछले तीन वर्षों के दौरान व्यक्तिगत आय कर की दरों में अनेक लाभकारी परिवर्तन किए हैं। इसलिए मैं व्यक्तिगत आय कर के दर-ढांचे में किसी  और बदलाव का प्रस्ताव नहीं करता हूं। समाज में एक सामान्य विचार व्याप्त रहा है कि वेतनभोगी वर्ग की तुलना में व्यक्तिगत व्यवसाय करने वाले व्यक्तियों की आय बेहतर होती है।’

Sub: Amendment to Railway Board Transformation Cell’s letter No. 2017/Trans/ 01/Policy dated 16.11.2017 on Process Reforms- improving Delivery and Performance with regard to registration of vigilance cases. 

Ref: Railway Board Transformation Cell letter no 2017/Trans/01/Policy dated 16.11.2017


Subsequent to the issue of guidelines vide letter under reference, it has been decided that para 1, “Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case” may be modified to read as under:

l. Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case :
[post_ads]
1.1 While investigating a case arising out of a complaint or preventive check, it is necessary for vigilance officials to establish that the matter has a Vigilance Angle before registration of a case against an officer. In order to have a comprehensive picture of the entire case, it is thus important that the views of the PHOD on Vigilance Angle are also taken before the case is registered against an officer. Therefore the following procedure may be followed:

a) SDGM/CVO may first examine the ease/complaint from the standpoint of Vigilance Angle and, in case no Vigilance angle is prima-facie found, the case may be sent to PHOD concerned for taking appropriate action as per the disciplinary procedure under the service roles on the administrative omission/lapses which may have been identified in the Preliminary Investigation Reort of Vigilance However, cases referred by CVC, PMO, RB etc, for investigation and submission of Report, are required, to be submitted to Railway Board Vigilance for further necessary action/advice duly incorporating the views of the PHOD(s).

b) In case SDGM/CVO arrives at an opinion that the case involves Vigilance Angle the matter should be referred to the PHOD(s) concerned for his/their reasoned views on the existence of a vigilance angle or otherwise before a final decision on registration of a case is taken. The PHOD may, if required, consult DRM/CWM etc. However, in the interest of ensuring that the vigilance investigation is not delayed and processed as expeditiously as possible, it is important that the PHOD(s) concerned give his/their views within a period of 14 days. If this is not done, the case may be withdrawn from PHOD(s) and processed further without the views of the PHOD(s), it is also important that the PHOD(s) concerned maintain, the requisite confidentiality in the matter so that the reputation of the officer, identity of complainant and critical issues requiring investigation are not adversely affected or compromised.

c) In case of a disagreement between PHOD and SDGM/CVO, the matter should be put up to the General Manager for his views. in case of difference of opinion between SDGM/CVO and the General Manager, the case should be referred to PED/Vigilance i-e. the CVO of the Ministry of Railways for taking a final view on the matter in terms of the provisions of the IR Vigilance Manual and extant CVC guidelines. 
d) In the case of non-gazetted officials, SDGM may consult PHOD concerned before taking a final view on registration of a case.

e) The PHOD/DA while giving his reasoned views may also consider, among other things, the following:

i. Law of ordinary prudence be kept in mind for the evaluation of a case, and instructions which are not available in codes/manuals, or not readily available on websites, need not be the sole criteria for ascertaining the vigilance angle.
[post_ads_2]
ii. Whether a pattern has emerged on the basis of which an inference that an officer was actuated by extraneous consideration can be drawn.

iii. Whether there has emerged from record, one or more circumstances which indicate that the decision which formed the basis of the charge of misconduct was not an honest exercise or the executive discretion and delegation of power.

iv. The charge of misconduct against an executive must be distinguished from a purely erroneous decision whether on law, policy or fact.

v. Try to differentiate between a malafide and a genuine lapse/mistake and also keep in mind the practical aspect of an event/working.

This is issued with the approval of the Chairman Railway Board. Kindly acknowledge the receipt and ensure compliance.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM


Sub :- Travelling Allowance Rules — Implementation of the Recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.

Consequent upon the issuance of this Department’s O.M. of even number dated 13.07.2017 regarding implementation of recommendations of 7th CPC on Travelling Allowance (TA), various references are being received in this Department seeking clarification regarding admissibility of Daily Allowance (DA) in case Govt. employee avails free boarding and lodging.
[post_ads]
2. The 6th CPC had changed the old concept of Daily Allowance by introducing reimbursement of Hotel Accommodation, Food Bill and Taxi Charges on production of vouchers for the same. Since this was a new concept, therefore, option was given to the employees to choose either the old 5th CPC single rate of DA or the new system of DA based on reimbursement of expenses as per 6th CPC. The 7th CPC has recommended to continue the concept of reimbursement of Hotel Accommodation, Food Bill and Taxi Charges with the exception that vouchers are not required to be produced for Food Bills.

View: 

3. The matter regarding admissibility of DA in case of free boarding and lodging, has been considered in this Department. Daily Allowance is given to the Govt. employees as a reimbursement of the expenditure incurred by him on tour for his stay, food and travel at that station. In case of free boarding and lodging, the Govt. employee, if incurring any expenditure on local travel, can claim the same as per Para 2 E (i) and (iii) of the Annexure to O.M. of even No. dated 13.07.2017. The earlier system of giving 25% of DA is being discontinued. Also, after implementation of 7th CPC recommendations, the facility of DA at 5th CPC rates is done away with.
