7th CPC-THE REAL TRUTH BEHIND THE DEMAND
Honourable General Secretary of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers of Karnataka State published a valuable post regarding 7th CPC. It is reproduced the same for your reference.
Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers have been demanding constitution of the 7thCPC, DA merger , and other 15 charter of common demands of the Central Government Employees apart from 48 common demands of the CG Employees which has been accepted by the Kolkatta conference.
The Common questions & answers which the Government of India has been answering is that as follows.
1) The 6th CPC has not recommended the DA merger has recommended 25% increase in certain allowances.2) The 6th CPC has not recommended the constitution of the 7th CPC and is silent on this issue.3) Normally it takes 10 years to set up another Central Pay Commission.4) The DA as recommended as per the Consumer price index is released which works out to 80% as on 1/1/2013. So when ever the prices have gone up DA is provided to compensate the rising of prices.5) If another Central Pay Commission is set up there will be huge burden on common man, at this stage the Government of India cannot afford to set up 7th CPC6) The anomalies are being taken up the National anomalies committee
Now comrades the above reply are standard in nature, all the above questions are answered in the following text.
If we really look at the DA and the Cost of living we can find that the actual cost of prices have gone up over 200% and the actual DA we are getting is only 80%. Hence there is a big gap between the actual price rise and the real DA we get there are many factors behind it, hence 7th CPC and DA merger are too vital things to bridge the Gap between the actual spending and the actual salary. For example in case of an MTS / LDC / Postmen his salary will be around Rs 15,000/- The actual spending is Rs 25,000/ which includes house rent of Rs 8,000/- (against Rs 3000/- as HRA) light bill, water bill telephone bill, petrol bill, local travelling etc itself will account for Rs 5000/- apart from purchase of provisions and vegetables which accounts for Rs 12,000/ for a family of 4 persons. Apart from above there will be many unforeseen expense such as attending marriages, medical, Children education expenses, which may work out more than Rs 30,000/- today the salary given to the CG Employees by the Central Government are insufficient. The minimum wages should be Rs 25,000/- the actual salary should be doubled.
Today the Government has itself admitted that the inflation is around 11% and the Consumer Price Index has crossed more than 110 points from 116 as on 1/12006 to 226 points as on April 2013. In that case the actual DA should have been 110 % not just 87% as on April 2013.
Once the price rise is more than 100% ,we are entitled for an Central Pay Commission and DA merger. Comparing price rise in last 30 yrs are so we can observe in last six years the price rise graph has risen dramatically, ie the prices have increased to a maximum beyond common mans reach, the rupee value has gone down drastically , internationally the dollar rate is higher, GDP is very low just around 6%. The purchasing power has gone down. The value of our salary six years back and now if we make a simple compare, our salary is nothing compared to private market. Now we observe that the Banks, LIC & PSU wages are revised every 5 years. As far as CG Employees it is more than 10 yrs. The DA has crossed more than 50% as on 1/1/2011. We should demand 7th CPC effective day from that day ie 1/1/2011.
The DA merger was accepted principal of many CPC and 5th CPC had recommended it there by if DA merger is implemented our salary will increase by 20 to 25 %. and we should get arrears from 1/1/2011. This will also affect other allowances such as HRA, Tour TA/DA etc. The present DA as on April 2013 is 87%. and in a span of one year it will cross 100%. there by dual benefit we should get.
The Railways have got the benefit in revision of many allowances let it be OTA, NDA, Compassionate appointment etc. Where as for other CG Employees many of the allowances are not revised from past 15 years or so
Even the 5th & 6th CPC Pay Anomalies are not rectified even after many years. there is discontent amongst the employees.
The actual wage bill is just 8.5 % of the revenue collection. The Government being model employer should pay its employees the real wages.
Our joint struggles have yielded results in the past we have to once again wage a long battle before the Government, the above statements by the Government will also undergo a change if we are serious about the issue.
If we look at the actual prices recommended by 6th CPC wide para number 2,21 and the current prices we can notice that

There are nearly 252 items in the consumer basket for determination of consumer price index, in real terms the essential items for determination of CPI should have been only 52 items as per need based wages, by keeping a vast items in the basket the actual price rise is not reflected.
The actual DA for central government employees should have been 200 % not just 80% as on 1/1/2013. The Consumer Price Index of 2001 which was at 115 points as on 1/1/2006 should have been more than 300 points rather than at 219 points as on 1/1/2013. The Miscellaneous articles weight age accounts for 25%. the food articles accounts for 58% weight age . Even if the rise in food articles is there, the cost of TV , Computer, Mobile etc where there is reduction is taking place , thus depriving of the actual increase in CPI. Overall the Consumer Price Index for the CG Employees is not satisfactory, this has deprived us of the actual DA & wages.
Current DA formula
Dearness Allowance = (Avg of AICPI for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100/115.76
by which is the DA for entire year of 2006 was only 2% due to faulty formula.
The Average of the past 12 months should be removed and the division factor of 115.76 is also not correct. The weighted of three months average should have been taken in account rather than

The Average of the past 12 months should be removed and the division factor of 115.76 is also not correct.The weighted of three months average should have been taken in account rather than 12 months average, by this today DA would be 108% rather than 87%. when we are getting DA in six months, why should we go for 12 months average. .
The actual cost of the goods at villages and the cities are differently different The cost of one kg of tomato will cost around Rs 15 in a village after it brought to a retails shop in a city it is sold at Rs 40/- per kg. The weight age of just 20% is not correct it should be 40% .
The whole system of the All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 & DA formula for the Government employees is wrong and needs a relook.
Now the question of government paying capacity we can observe that actual spending on wage bill is on 8.5% of the revenue collection compared to 30% earlier days.
The background of the demand for setting up the 7th CPC raised by the Central Government employees on the ground that the wage revision was due in January, 2011,it would be pertinent to examine the wages as a ratio to the revenue resources and revenue expenditure of the GOI in the crucial years 1960-61`,1975-=76, 1986-087, 1997-98 and 2006-07 the relevant years in which the 2nd, 3rd,4th 5th and 6th CPC recommendations were given effect to. It is not difficult to discern the declining trend over the years , which is suggestive of the erosion in the real wages of the Public servants in India.

Impact of raising retirement age from age 60 to 62
It has been seen that one of the long time waging demand of raising the retirement age of govt employees has finally caught afire. Through the Media and blogging sites re abound with news that the cabinet would announce news regarding the retirement age yet it has not been finalizes.
Even then it has been come to known that a favorable decision would be put forth regarding this issue due to the oncoming lok sabha and three state assembly elections. In India the retirement ages of most of the state government employees range from 58 to 60. This is low in comparison to the government employees of foreign nation.
We shall see the effect of raising the retirement age in the following passage
Advantage
1. If only 7th pay commission would be implemented in the year 2016 those retiring in the year span 2014 -2016 would be greatly benefitted.
2. Economically the employees would be in better position due to this rise of the age of superannuation.
4. There this chance of imparting fruitful experience to the subordinates or new recruit by those benefitted by rise in retirement age.
5. More over there is chance of getting an additional MACP by the central govt employees.
6. A good health psychological effect would prevail in their minds due to this boon of rising their retirement age and thus removing their fatigue.
Disadvantage
1. Promotion would be greatly affected due to no retirement in the long span.
2. Unemployment would come in to being due to the increase in retirement age.
3. Output of work would be greatly affected if the retirement age of unhealthy employees would be increased.
This announcement would not be received in praise among those searching for employment in general. Moreover among the retirement employees this decision is receiving a mixed response as some welcome while others detest it

Failure to deposit TDS on time will attract penalty
NEW DELHI: Failure to deposit timely and correct TDS or TCS will now attract a penalty ranging from Rs 200 to Rs one lakh by theIncome Tax department.
All the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) range offices of the department across the country have been asked by the Central Board ofDirect Taxes (CBDT) to ensure compliance in this area and also inform and make aware the authorised deductors about this new action being initiated by the taxman.
According to the new instructions issued, a deductor, either government or private, will have to submit a "compulsory" fine of Rs 200 for delay in filing either TDS or Tax Collected at Source (TCS) every day beyond the stipulated date of remittance of these category of taxes.
Similarly, the penalty would be between Rs 10,000 to Rs one lakh for furnishing incorrect information or failure to file the collection statement within the due date.
"The assessing officer of the department will use sections 234E and 271H of the I-T Act to ensure that TDS or TCS collections are not delayed or faltered. The department, in many cases, has found that deductors delay for long the filing of these category of taxes even after deducting it from the salary of their employees," a senior official said.
The TDS regime has to be strengthend and hence such measures are important, the official said.
A big chunk of 41 per cent, in the total tax collections in the last fiscal, came from the TDS category alone.
During financial year 2012-13, Rs 2,30,188 crore tax was collected under the TDS category while the total direct taxes collections stood at 5,58,970 crore.
The department, during its recent deliberations with top I-T and CBDT officials here, has also decided to strengthen its regime for obtaining TDS from salaries of employees in order to collect more revenue under this category.
