स्वायत्त संस्थानों को एक तिहाई राशि जुटानी होगी

नई दिल्ली। केंद्र सरकार ने 300 से अधिक स्वायत्त संस्थानों को सातवें वेतन आयोग का लाभ देने के लिए शर्त रख दी। वित्त मंत्रलय ने कहा कि इन संस्थानों को एक तिहाई खर्च खुद या उनके मंत्रलय को करना होगा, अन्यथा यह वेतनमान लागू नहीं होगा। 

बता दें मंत्रलयों के कर्मियों को सातवां वेतनमान मिला शुरू हो चुका है।इन संस्थानों में सीएसआईआर, आईसीएमआर, आईसीएआर जैसे वैज्ञानिक महकमे हैं, तो केंद्रीय व नवोदय विद्यालय जैसे शैक्षणिक संस्थान भी। 

एक अधिकारी ने बताया, वित्त मंत्रलय ने इन संस्थानों में सातवां वेतनमान लागू करने को सहमति दी है। पर एक तिहाई राशि संस्थानों को बंदोबस्त करने की शर्त रखी है। इन संस्थानों में लाखों कर्मचारी कार्यरत हैं।

कइयों का अपना राजस्व नहीं :कई संस्थान ऐसे हैं जिनका अपना कोई राजस्व ही नहीं है। सीएसआई जैसे कुछ संस्थानों को रॉयल्टी से आय होती है। पर उसे अन्य शोध कार्य पर खर्च किया जाता है। केंद्रीय विद्यालय को फीस से आय होती है पर उसे विद्यालयों में ही खर्च कर दिया जाता है।

Merger of Dearness Allowance equal to 50% of basic pay w.e.f 01-04-2004 – Reckoning as pay for running Staff: Railway Board Clarification

No.EP&A-II/2006/RS-28
New Delhi, dated 20.11.2016.

The General Secretary
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

New Delhi – 110 055.

Sub: Merger of Dearness Allowance equal to 50% of basic pay w.e.f 01-04-2004 – Reckoning as pay for running Staff.
[post_ads]

Ref: (i) DC/JCM Item No.15/2009.
(ii) GS/NFIR’s letter No.IV/RSAC/Conf/Vol.VI dated 28-03-2016.

Please refer to your letter dated 28.03.2016 under reference no. (ii) on the subject noted above. In this connection, it is mentioned that Board’s letter dated 21.10.2014 addressed to both the Federations highlighted that the basis for the exclusions was the Ministry of Finance’s OM dated 01.03.2004 on the merger of 50% DA with basic Pay that was adopted by the Ministry of Railways. Vide letter dt. 28.03.2016, however, NFIR has not agreed with the reply and has reiterated that the exclusions violate the IREM provision of Running Allowance and that the OM dt. 01.03.2004 of MoF is not relevant in this connection.


For a better understanding of the logic on which the three exclusions have been made. the table given below may kindly by seen:-

Clause No.
Benefit of 30% pay element (mentioned in the clause) applicable to Running Staff
Relevant wording in MoF O.M. dated 01.03.2004 pertaining to the benefit
Remarks
A
Entitlement for Pass/PTO
LTC specifically excluded from revision of entitlement on merger of 50% DA with Basic pay
As Railways, do not have LTC Pass. PTO revision excluded accordingly vide RBE No.77/2008
B
Fixation in pay in stationary posts
Fixation of pay not included as an admissible benefit for revision of entitlement on merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay
Counting of the benefit (of merger of DA with Basic) for Fixation of pay is an issue pertaining to all Government employees and not merely Running Staff of Railways. When this benefit has not been extended to any Government employee, it cannot be extended to Running Staff isolation. RBE NO.77/2008 has been issued accordingly. As erstwhile Basic Pay element (without merger of 50% DA) however continued to be admissible for Fixation of pay of Running Staff in stationary posts, there is no violation of relevant IREM provision.
C
Entitlement of Quarters
Government accommodation specifically excluded from revision of entitlement on merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay.
As Railway Quarters are Government accommodation. Revision of entitlement has been excluded accordingly vide RBE No.77/2008.

As brought out in the table above, there has been no violation of the Rules, It is therefore requested that the item may be closed.

Implementation of 7th CPC Pay Matrices — Pay fixation to staff — Anomaly resulting less pay to senior in comparison with junior: NFIR writes to Railway board

National Federation of Indian Railwaymen
No. IV/NFIR/7 CPC (Imp)/2016/R.B./Part I

Dated: 06/03/2017

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Implementation of 7th CPC Pay Matrices — Pay fixation to staff — Anomaly resulting less pay to senior in comparison with junior-reg.

Ref: NOtification issued by the Railway Ministry vide RBE No. 90/2016 — Rule 10 (2) thereof.

[post_ads]

NFIR desires to bring to the notice of the Railway Board, the anomalous situation arisen pursuant to sub-para (2) of Rule 10 of the Notification issued by the Railway Board vide RBE No. 90/2016. A case on North Western Railway is cited below as example:-


  • Mr. X and Y have been working as SSE in the Loco Workshop, Ajmer in GP 4600/- (Level 7). Mr. X is senior to Mr. Y.
  • Both X & Y have been drawing pay equal to Rs. 60,400/- on 1st July 2016. Both the employees are due for financial upgradation benefit under MACPS in the month of February 2017.
  • Mr. X has been given financial upgradation under MACPS and his pay when fixed in Level 8 comes to Rs. 62,200/-. His next increment is due on 1″ January 2018 when his pay will raise to 64,100/-.
  • Mr. Y has been denied financial upgradation due to ‘Good ACR’ for the year 2014. His pay on 1st July 2017 will be Rs. 62,200/- in Level 7 which will be equal to Mr. Y’s pay as on 1st July 2017.
  • When Mr. Y becomes fit for financial upgradation under MACPS sometime between July and December 2017, then his pay will be 64,100/- in Level 8 which will be equal to the pay of Mr. X in January 2018. Subsequently, when Mr. Y will be given next increment in January 2019 ultimately Mr. X will lag behind by six months despite being senior.


The position mentioned above clearly reveals that senior has been put to loss by way of drop in emoluments. This needs to be remedied to do justice to senior employees.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to examine the case in the light of above illustration and take necessary action for rendering justice to senior staff in whose case, the drop in emoluments has taken place. Federation may also be apprised of Board’s response early.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

EPF & MP Act, 1952 made applicable to all staff employed in ECHS on contractual basis 
A single page composite claim form in death cases replaces Form 20, form 5-IF and Form 10-D 

Noticing that many pensioners are yet to submit Aadhaar authenticated Jeevan Pramaan as life certificate for continuation of drawal of pension, the EPFO has further extended the last date of submission of Digital Life Certificate through Jeevan Pramaan Patra upto 31st March 2017. Earlier the last date was 28th February 2017.

  • Administrative charges have been waived.

Even though the EPF & MP Act, 1952 does not differentiate between casual, contractual and regular employees, it was noted that a large number of contractual employees hired by principal employer including those by the government departments, PSU and autonomous Organizations have remained out of coverage under EPFO. It is the duty of the principal employer to ensure compliance of their outsourced / regular / contract / casual / daily wager to the schemes under EPF Act. 

To ensure coverage of workers, principal employers have been advised to ensure that their contractors are registered with EPFO before award of any contract or making any payments.  EPFO provides relevant information in this regard to principal employers online.    

A health care scheme called ECHS was formulated by Ministry of Defence for its ex-servicemen.  The contractual workers of ECHS till now were deprived of the social security benefits under EPFO.  The ECHS now has been brought under the ambit of the EPF Act.  Ministry of Defence has issued necessary directions to the ECHS for enrolling their contractual staff.  Similarly, all eligible workers engaged by contractors working with Military Engineering Services (MES) and Indian Railways have also being requested to ensure coverage of contractual employees under EPFO.

Towards continuous strive to bring increased conveniences and efficiency, a single page Composite Claim Form (Aadhar) replaces Forms No. 19 (UAN), 10C (UAN) & 31(UAN) for subscribers seeding their Aadhar number with UAN.  This can be submitted without the attestation of employers. For subscribers who are yet to seed Aadhaar and Bank details with their UAN, a new Composite Claim Form (Non-Aadhar) replaces the existing Forms No. 19, 10C & 31.

[post_ads_2]

In addition, a Composite Claim Form in death cases replaces the existing Forms No, 20, 5-IF and  10-D.  The claimants can apply for claim of Provident Fund, Insurance Fund and monthly pension through this single page composite claim form in case of death of a member.

Seventh Pay Commission: Allowance Hike Announcement Likely Soon in Parliament Session

Seventh Pay Commission: Allowance Hike Announcement Likely Soon

Union officials had held final round of talks on February 22 with members of the Ashok Lavasa panel on Seventh Pay Commission allowances.

Expectations are rising that the government may soon announce a hike in allowance as part of the Seventh Pay Commission awards. The second half of the Budget session starts from March 9. Union officials had held final round of talks on February 22 with members of the Ashok Lavasa panel on Seventh Pay Commission allowances, according to Shiv Gopal Mishra, the convenor of National Joint Council of Action (NJCA), a joint body of unions representing central government employees. Some union officials said that the panel on Seventh Pay Commission allowances has already submitted its report. 

The unions have demanded HRA at the rate of 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent. The Seventh Pay Commission had recommended that HRA be paid at the rate of 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent of the new Basic Pay, depending on type of cities.

[post_ads]

The Seventh Pay Commission had also recommended that the rate of HRA be revised to 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent respectively when DA crosses 50 per cent, and further revised to 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent when DA crosses 100 per cent.

The panel headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa had reviewed Seventh Pay Commission allowances. The government had in June accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension but its suggestions relating to allowances were referred to the committee. The Seventh Pay Commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and, by way of rationalisation, recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances.

The committee on allowances was initially given a time of four months to submit its report to the finance minister. Allowances form a significant chunk of government employees' salary.

7th Pay Commission: As Budget session starts tomorrow, all eyes on Arun Jaitley to announce hike in allowances

The Committee on Allowances has already submitted its report to the Finance Ministry in which it has reviewed the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission on allowances.

With the second part of the Budget session in Parliament starting on Thursday, all eyes are on Finance Minister Arun Jaitley who may just announce a hike in allowances for Central government employees.
The Committee on Allowances has already submitted its report to the Finance Ministry in which it has reviewed the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission on allowances.

The Committee under Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa is believed to have suggested that the house rent allowance be kept as it is and not brought down as recommended by the Seventh Pay Commission.

[post_ads]

The pay hike under the Seventh Pay Commission has been the lowest in the last 70 years and a decrease in allowances is unlikely to go down well with nearly 50 lakh government employees.
THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SEVENTH PAY COMMISSION STORY:

  • With Uttar Pradesh and Manipur voting in the final phase today, the model code of conduct will be lifted by the end of the day. The Narendra Modi government, which could not make any major announcements during the poll season, is expected to speak on the allowances soon.
  • The second part of the Budget session will continue for a month till April 12, and it is widely believed that Arun Jaitley can make an announcement during the session, and employees may start getting revised allowances from the new fiscal in April.
  • On allowances, this pay commission has not had the best news for government employees with the panel recommending axing 53 of the 196 allowances and merging a few others.
  • Following protests by employees, the government formed a committee under Ashok Lavasa to look into the recommendations. The pay commission had suggested bringing down the house rent allowance (HRA) to 24 per cent from 30 per cent of basic pay for metros.
  • While the Committee on Allowances decided against a slash in HRA, reports suggest that it has agreed with Seventh Pay Commission's recommendation on no hike in transport allowance.
  • To add to the growing resentment among employees, the dearness allowance (DA) is likely to be hiked by just 2 per cent this year. "The dearness allowance as per the agreed formula by the Centre works out to be 2 per cent which would be effective from January 1, 2017," Confederation of Central Government Employees President K K N Kutty said.
  • Representatives of employees unions are not happy with the hike and said it is not in sync with price rise and inflation. According to some reports, employees' union are planning to protest against the "meagre" hike in DA.

7वां वेतन आयोग : बजट सत्र में अरुण जटली कर सकते हैं अलाउंसेस बढ़ाने की घोषणा - 7वें वेतन आयोग के 7 डेवलपमेंट्स

7वां वेतन आयोग : बजट सत्र में अरुण जटली कर सकते हैं अलाउंसेस बढ़ाने की घोषणा

संसद में बजट सत्र के दूसरे भाग के शुरू होते ही सबकी निगाहें वित्त मंत्री अरुण जेटली पर होंगी। ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि जेटली केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों के भत्ते बढ़ाने की घोषणा कर सकते हैं। कमेटी ने इन भत्तों पर अपनी रिपोर्ट पहले ही जमा कर ​दी है, इसमें 7वें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों शामिल हैं।

ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि वित्त सचिव अशोक लवासा के अंडर बनी इस कमेटी ने सुझाव दिया है कि हाउस रेंट अलाउंस को ज्यों का त्यों ही रखा जाए और 7वें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिश को मानकर इसे कम न किया जाए। 7वें वेतन आयोग के तहत हुआ वेतन में इजाफा पिछले 70 साल में सबसे कम है, ऐसे में अलाउंसेस में कमी करीब 50 लाख सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए नुकसानदेह होगी।

[post_ads]
7वें वेतन आयोग के 7 डेवलपमेंट्स

1. उत्तर प्रदेश और मणिपुर में चुनाव का अंतिम चरण बुधवार को समाप्त हो चुका है और इसके साथ ही आचार संहिता का भी समापन हो गया है। अब ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि मोदी सरकार भत्तों पर कोई घोषणा कर सकती है।

2. बजट सत्र का दूसरा भाग 12 अप्रेल तक चलेगा। ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि अरुण जेटली इस सत्र के दौरान जरूरी घोषणा कर सकते हैं और कर्मचारियों को इसी वित्तीय सत्र की शुरुआत यानी कि अप्रेल से रिवाइज्ड भत्ते दिए जा सकते हैं।

3. गौरतलब है कि भत्तों के मामले में 7वें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशें कुछ लुभावनी नहीं हैं। इसमें 196 में से 53 भत्तों को खत्म करने और कुछ भत्तों को मर्ज करने की सिफारिश की गई है।

4. कर्मचारियों के विरोध के बाद सरकार ने इन भत्तों को लेकर अशोक लवासा के अंडर एक कमेटी का गठन किया था। पे कमिशन ने प्रस्तावित किया था कि एचआरए को 30 प्रतिशत से कम कर बेसिक पे का 24 प्रतिशत कर दिया जाए।

5. कमेटी ने जहां एचआरए को कम किए जाने के विरुद्ध निर्णय लिया है, वहीं रिपोर्ट की मानें तो कमेटी ने 7वें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिश कि ट्रासपोर्ट अलाउंस को न बढ़ाया जाए, से सहमति जताई है।

6. ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि डियरनेस अलाउंस यानी कि डीए 2 प्रतिशत से बढ़ाया जा सकता है। यह 1 जनवरी 2017 से लागू किया जा सकता है।

7. हालांकि इम्पलॉईज यूनियंस इस बढ़ोतरी से खुश नहीं हैं। उनका कहना है कि महंगाई को देखते हुए महंगाई भत्ता काफी कम बढ़ाया जा रहा है।

SC orders welfare scheme for Army porters: The Hindu

The Supreme Court on Monday came to the aid of 12,000 civilian porters working for the Army in high-risk and active field areas such as Rajouri, Jammu and Poonch by directing the Centre to finalise a scheme providing them better pay, medical facilities, enhanced compensation and a severance grant higher than the Rs. 50,000 proposed by the government.
army+porters+news

A Bench of Chief Justice T.S. Thakur and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar issued the directions, while noting that though the porters belong to the poorest strata of society and may not even possess educational qualifications, they provide valuable support to the Army and is an integral part of operations in border areas.
‘Sure-footed ally’

“The value addition which they provide to the Indian Army in terms of their knowledge of conditions makes them a sure-footed ally in hostile conditions. To look at their work from a metro-centric lens is to miss the wood for the trees. They work, albeit as casual labour, for long years with little regard to safety,” Chief Justice Thakur wrote in a judgment.

“Faced with disability, injury and many times death, their families have virtually no social security. Such a situation cannot be contemplated having regard to the mandate in Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution,” the apex court held in its 11-page verdict.

The court ordered that the scheme be finalised within three months, and disposed of the pleas moved by 29 porters seeking regularisation of their employment on minimum pay-scales considering their long years of service in high-altitude terrain.

Procedure for dealing with cases of disagreement between Disciplinary Authority and CVC - instructions regarding consultation with UPSC thereof.

No.372/3/2017-AVD.III
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel and Training
North Block, New Delhi
Dated 1.3.2017
OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Procedure for dealing with cases of disagreement between Disciplinary Authority and CVC - instructions regarding consultation with UPSC thereof.

The undersigned is directed to refer to the OM No. 372/19/2011 AVD-III (Pt. I) dated the 26th September, 2011 on the above subject which provided for dispensing with second stage consultation with the CVC in disciplinary matters. However, in those cases where consultation with UPSC is not required as per extant rules/instructions, the second stage consultation with CVC was to continue. Further, CVC issued a circular dated 7/12/2012 stipulating that wherein Disciplinary Authorities (DA) tentatively proposes not to impose any of the statutory penalties at the conclusion of the proceedings, the second stage consultation would continue to be made with the Central Vigilance Commission, involving Group ‘A’ officers of the Central Government, members of All India Services and such other categories of officers of the Central Government involved in composite cases.

[post_ads]

2. Despite clear instructions on the subject some instances have come to the notice where Ministries and Departments are not following the above guidelines leading to delay in disposal of the disciplinary cases.

3. The matter has been considered in consultation with UPSC and CVC and following are being reiterated:

(i) All cases, where the Disciplinary Authority (DA) decides to impose a penalty after conclusion of the proceedings and where UPSC consultation is required as per existing rules/instructions, shall not be referred to the CVC for second stage consultation.

(ii) The CVC circular 8/12/14 of 3rd December, 2014 stipulates that all such cases where the DA proposes to take any action which is at variance with the Commission’s first stage advice would continue to be referred to the Commission for obtaining second stage advice. In this regard it has now been clarified by CVC that the aforementioned circular applies only to the disciplinary cases of non-Presidential appointees including officials of CPSEs, Public Sector Banks, and Autonomous Bodies etc. The above instructions, therefore, do not apply to the cases of the officers of Group A services of the Central Government, All India Services (AIS) and such other categories of officers of the Central Government where consultation with UPSC is necessary before imposition of any of the prescribed penalties. 

4. In a situation where on conclusion of the departmental proceedings, DA is of the tentative view that no formal penalty needs to be imposed in respect of officers of Group ‘A’ services of the Central Government, All India Services (AIS) such other categories of officers of the Central Government and refers the case for second stage consultation with CVC and if CVC advises imposition of a penalty which the DA on consideration decides not to accept, then this becomes a case of disagreement between DA and CVC which as per standing instructions require resolution by DoPT.

5. All Ministries/Departments are, therefore, advised to strictly adhere to these instructions.

6. Hindi version will follow.
