Govt employees jubilant in hope of fatter pay: Business Standard
Want srade differences to be narrowed
Government employees cutting across grades, from peons to senior officers, were overjoyed after the Centre on Wednesday decided to constitute the seventh Pay Commission.
While it is too early to know who will chair the commission or what will be the recommendations, none of it stopped jubilant central government employees from distributing sweets in some departments, though Diwali is more than a month away. Ironically, the reaction was muted in the finance ministry like the stony walls of the North Block. Most of the staff did not display any outward exuberance, although they welcomed the government’s decision in a hush-hush tone.
It is the expenditure department of the finance ministry that will ultimately implement the recommendations. Or are they worried about the impact on the fiscal situation? A senior official said the 7th Pay Commission should correct the anomaly of the previous pay panel, which had recommended a lower pay increase in the S4 to S-23 grades, compared with employees of S-24 and higher grades.
Meanwhile, trade unions representing central government employees hailed the announcement. They went a step further in their demand and pressed for implementing the recommendations with retrospective effect from January 1, 2011. The government plans to implement them from calendar year 2016.
“We welcome the government’s move to set up the 7th Pay Commission, but we have a reservation. It should be implemented with effect from January 1, 2011 as in the case of Central PSUs whose employee pay scales are revised every five years,” Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers President K K N Kutty told PTI.
Kutty said that the Confederation would press for merger of up to 50 per cent of dearness allowance with the basic pay, which is a prerequisite for setting up a pay commission.
The merger of DA with basic pay will help employees as certain allowances are paid as proportion of the basic pay and hence merger results in higher allowances.

| The Union Cabinet today approved the proposal of the Ministry of Railways for payment of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) equivalent to 78 days wages for the financial year 2012-13 for all eligible non-gazetted railway employees. PLB equivalent to 78 days wages will be paid as a special case considering the good financial performances which is expected to motivate employees. The Gross Traffic Receipt (GTR) during 2012-13 is Rs. 1.24 lakh crore showing an increase of 18.85 per cent against GTR of Rs. 1.04 crore during 2011-12. This increase of GTR was 10.13 per cent during 2011-12 as against 2010-11 and 8.71 per cent during 2010-11 as against 2009-10. The financial implication is estimated to be Rs. 1043.43 crore. The wage calculation ceiling prescribed for payment of PLB to eligible non-gazetted railway employees is Rs. 3500/- per month. The payment of PLB to eligible railway employees is made each year before the Dusshera / Puja holidays. About 12.37 lakh non-gazetted railway employees all over the country are likely to benefit. Background: The Railways were the first departmental undertaking of the Government of India where the concept of PLB was introduced. The PLB Scheme for the Railways came into force from 1979-80 on wards and was evolved in consultation with the two recognized federations, that is the All India Railwaymen`s Federation and National Federation of Indian Railwaymen. The scheme envisages a review every three years. Source : PIB (Release ID :99850) Dearness Relief to Pensioners from July, 2013 - Order Issued

B cadre - IP/ASP CHQ News:
All are aware that recently GS, CHQ President, CHQ Treasurer, OGS-II and CS WB Circle met with Member (P), DDG (Estt) and discussed the pending issues including merger of IP/ASP cadre. During the course of discussion it was apprised to the administration that copy of the resolution passed in AIC Bangalore on merger issue was submitted to Directorate on 22/2/2012. Thereafter officers dealing our case asked this Association to submit a fresh proposal of merger of IP/ASP cadre immediately. The essence of the scheduled meetings at different level remains that association have to accept merger of ASPs to IPs and ASPs to PS Group “B” in a given ratio by surrendering gazetted status, ASPs presently enjoying.
Now, time has come that we have to think with some broad mind. As such arguable proposal from our side should consist of upgradation of all the divisions to class-I having one or two posts of PS Group “B” with independent powers by up-gradating the existing post of ASP(HQ) to SP(HQ) and conversion of all the sub divisions to that of IPs in the GP of Rs.4600/- making them comparable with Inspectors in CBDT/ CBEC after merger of remaining posts of ASP to that of IPs. Where posts of OS exist that should also be upgraded to SP (HQ) or Dy SP. It will also be proposed that all post of ASPs presently held in Circles and Regions be upgraded to the level of Asstt. Directors. The post of IP (CO/RO) can be retained as it is.
The IP cadre will be benefited in the following way:
1. GP of Rs.4600/- at entry stage.
2. First MACP in GP of Rs. 4800/-(direct recruits) & 2nd for promotee after 10 years service in IP cadre
3. Next promotion in PS Group “B’” in GP of Rs 4800/- after 16-17 years but without financial benefit.
4. 2nd MACP in the GP of Rs.5400/- after 20 years in IP cadre. Thus, the IP having total 26 years of service can get 5400/- which today we are not getting even after 34 years of service even if inducted to IP cadre after rendering 6 years service in PA cadre.
5. 3rd MACP in GP of Rs.5400/- in PB-3(direct recruits).
6. Upgradation of PSG “B” to JTS and ASP(HQ) to SP(HQ)
7. In 6th cadre review of IPos, it is learnt that few STS posts would be down graded to JTS.
The Circle wise IP/ASP posts are furnished herewith for kind information.
Postal Divisions
RMS Divisions
All Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office bearers are requested to confirm the above data within week to General Secretary to enable to submit the proposal at the earliest. The total number Postal and RMS Divisions headed by PS Gr. B officers should also be reported. Any suggestion that is workable will be given due weightage in the proposal being formulated at CHQ level.
