Congress warns govt on pay commission report
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president, Ajay Maken, on Sunday said the Congress party will strongly oppose if the 125 percent increase in DA (Dearness Allowance), which will be due on 1 January, 2016,
is not merged with the basic pay when the Central government implements
the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission for Government employees.
Maken said
while the 7th Pay Commission has increased the salaries of higher grade
officers by many folds, there will be no benefit for middle and lower
level employees.
Maken said
injustice was being done to the Central government employees, and the
Congress will fight safeguard their interest. He said the Union
government should protect the interests of the country and its people.
"The Congress party is with the Government employees in this matter",
Maken asserted.
Addressing two
meetings to discuss the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission at
Sadiq Nagar and R K Puram today, Maken said the Congress party will
spare no effort to protect the interests of the Government employees,
who are its "eyes, ears and brains", inside and outside Parliament.
He said it was
necessary to give a good deal to the Government employees to attract the
best brains to Government service, as the government needs the services
of the brightest, who come through tough competitions, for the best
interest of the nation.
He said it was
necessary to have the best brains in the government to ensure that in
these days of globalisation, the multi-national companies do not push
their way in and put such clauses, conditions and demands that would be
detrimental to the interest of the nation and its people.
Meanwhile,
reiterating his party's commitment to a strong Lokpal, Maken extended
support to the move to bring DDA and Delhi Police, which are controlled
by the Centre, under the purview of Delhi Lokayukta.
“As long as
this applies to public functionaries of departments of Delhi government,
DDA, MCD, NDMC, Delhi Police, and the Members of Parliament from Delhi
and Union and state ministers from Delhi pertaining to their actions
concerning people of Delhi, this provision in my opinion should be
allowed,” Maken said.
The Congress
leader, however, clarified that in the absence of any officially
circulated draft, he would like to reserve his final comments on
procedure and on other aspects of the Bill, till it is tabled in the
Assembly on Monday.
The draft
Janlokpal Bill, approved by the Delhi Cabinet, mandates the Lokayukta to
look into complaints of corruption in MCD, DDA and Delhi Police.
This move has
drawn flak from various quarters, including former AAP leader Prashant
Bhushan who said it has been done to “provoke” the Centre.
Maken said his
party had earlier also stated that under no circumstances it would
support the dilution of the Janlokpal Bill as introduced by the AAP
Government on February 13, 2014, in Delhi Assembly.
“Delhi
Lokayukta should be allowed to look into acts of corruption directly
impacting people of Delhi through the actions of MCD, DDA and Delhi
Police also. The Congress party would again like to re-iterate its
commitment for a strong Lokpal in Delhi,” he said.
“We believe in action and not just rhetoric. Delhi Government has wasted
precious 10 months and we hope it would now fulfil its very important
pre-poll promise by enacting a strong Jan Lokpal,” Maken said in a press
statement.

Check out top 10 points to clear all doubts in mind regarding the 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, MSP, MACP and more:
7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales – highlights, more:
The
7th Pay Commission report has recommended an average 23.55% hike in
salaries and allowances of Central government staff and the same is
likely to be replicated in all the states too, except Puducherry where
the same system as in Centre is already applicable – minimum pay set at
Rs 18,000 per month and maximum pay at Rs 2,50,000 per month –
recommended date of implementation: 01, January, 2016.
Here we provide all you ever wanted to know in 10 points on most crucial aspects of the 7th Pay Commission report:
1. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Minimum Pay:Based on the Dr Wallace Aykroyd formula (nutrition) , the minimum pay (salary) in government is recommended to be set at Rs 18,000 per month; Maximum Pay: Rs 2,25,000 per month for Apex Scale and Rs 2,50,000 per month for Cabinet Secretary and others presently at the same pay level. If passed, the salary hikes this report is recommending are likely to boost demand for consumer goods across the spectrum, even though it could also be inflationary. (Reuters)
2. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Advances:a. All non-interest bearing Advances have been abolished; b. Regarding interest-bearing Advances, only Personal Computer Advance and House Building Advance (HBA) have been retained. HBA ceiling has been increased to Rs 25 lakhs from the present Rs 7.5 lakhs. (PTI)
3. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Pension:The Commission recommends a revised pension formulation for civil employees including CAPF personnel as well as for Defence personnel, who have retired before 01.01.2016. This formulation will bring about parity between past pensioners and current retirees for the same length of service in the pay scale at the time of retirement. The 7th Pay Commission received many grievances relating to New Pension System (NPS). It has recommended a number of steps to improve the functioning of NPS. It has also recommended establishment of a strong grievance redressal mechanism. (PTI)
4. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Performance Related Pay:The Commission has recommended introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) for all categories of Central Government employees, based on quality Results Framework Documents, reformed Annual Performance Appraisal Reports and some other broad Guidelines. The Commission has also recommended that the PRP should subsume the existing Bonus schemes. (PTI)
5. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – New Pay Structure:Considering the issues raised regarding the Grade Pay structure and with a view to bring in greater transparency, the present system of pay bands and grade pay has been dispensed with and a new pay matrix has been designed. Grade Pay has been subsumed in the pay matrix. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the pay matrix. The rate of Annual Increment is being retained at 3 percent. (PTI)
6. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP):a. Performance benchmarks for MACP have been made more stringent from “Good” to “Very Good”; b. The Commission has also proposed that annual increments not be granted in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or for a regular promotion in the first 20 years of their service; c. No other changes in MACP recommended. (Thinkstock)
7. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Military Service Pay (MSP):The Military Service Pay, which is a compensation for the various aspects of military service, will be admissible to the Defence forces personnel only. As before, Military Service Pay will be payable to all ranks up to and inclusive of Brigadiers and their equivalents. The current MSP per month and the revised rates recommended are as follows: (Reuters)
8. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Short Service Commissioned Officers:Short Service Commissioned Officers will be allowed to exit the Armed Forces at any point in time between 7 and 10 years of service, with a terminal gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments. The Seventh Pay Commission also says they will further be entitled to a fully funded one year Executive Programme or a M.Tech. programme at a premier Institute to better their prospects in later life. (PTI)
9. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Allowances:The Commission has recommended abolishing 52 allowances altogether. Another 36 allowances have been abolished as separate identities, but subsumed either in an existing allowance or in newly proposed allowances. Allowances relating to Risk and Hardship will be governed by the proposed Risk and Hardship Matrix. a. Risk and Hardship Allowance: Allowances relating to Risk and Hardship will be governed by the newly proposed nine-cell Risk and Hardship Matrix, with one extra cell at the top, viz., RH-Max to include Siachen Allowance. (PTI)
10. 7th Pay Commission pension, pay scales, allowances – Financial Implications:The total financial impact in the FY 2016-17 is likely to be Rs 1,02,100 crore, over the expenditure as per the “Business As Usual” scenario. Of this, the increase in pay would be Rs 39,100 crore, increase in allowances would be Rs 29,300 crore and increase in pension would be Rs 33,700 crore. In percentage terms the overall increase in pay & allowances and pensions over the “Business As Usual” scenario will be 23.55 percent. Within this, the increase in pay will be 16 percent, increase in allowances will be 63 percent, and increase in pension would be 24 percent. (Image by PTI)
