Expected DA from Jan 2014 - 11%
The one more and another additional Dearness allowance to Central Government employees and Pensioners from Jan 2014 will be announced in the middle of March 2014.
This is too early and predict the enhancement in percentage of Dearness allowance with effect from January 2014. The prediction and announcement of this hike make us cool, that the additional DA will jump to 101% and another word, an additional DA would be 11%.
But, still we have to wait for one more month, that the magic number of AICPIN would be increased by 3% and more..! From the existing level of the AICPIN is now 243, if it becomes 246 in end of December 2013, out prediction will be right…or otherwise certainly we would cross century in total Dearness allowance…
The table describes the prediction of additional DA from Jan 2014…
Month | Year | AICPIN (IW) BY 2001=100 | Points Increasing in AICPIN | Total | Average | App. DA | DA |
Jun | 2013 | 231 | 3 | 2648 | 220.67 | 90.62 | 90 |
Jul | 2013 | 235 | 4 | 2671 | 222.58 | 92.28 | |
Aug | 2013 | 237 | 2 | 2694 | 224.5 | 93.93 | |
Sep | 2013 | 238 | 1 | 2717 | 226.42 | 95.59 | |
Oct | 2013 | 241 | 3 | 2741 | 228.42 | 97.32 | |
Nov | 2013 | 243 | 2 | 2766 | 230.5 | 99.12 | |

Roll Out Help Desk Management Systems(HDMS) by CEPT, Mysore
The center for Excellence in Postal Technology (CEPT) is providing technical support for the software developed by CEPT. Presently, the support is provided through e-Mail and over telephone.
The field units are sending the emails over the support email id (support@ceptmysore.net) for resolution of various technical issues to CEPT. This existing system has a number of limitations. Moreover a particular issue is being raised at various levels e.g. PO / Division /Region / Circle resulting in multiple handlings of same case thereby difficulty is being experienced to attend to fresh cases. Further there is very little scope to monitor the performance in the existing system.
In order to have a better system in place, CEPT has developed an application named "Help Desk Management System (HDMS)". This application is hosted at the CEPT website i.e. http://cept.gov.in under the 'Support' Menu. To access HDMS, registration to http://cept.gov.in is required.
The HDMS shall be made operational from 10.01.2014. The existing system of email support will be continued upto 31.01.2014. CEPT will attend on priority, the cases registered on HDMS and subsequently attend to email requests.
The salient features of this application are furnished below:

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Rule 32 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965- Advice of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to be communicated to the delinquent Government servant along with the final order of penalty- Amendment - regarding
The undersigned is directed to refer to the provisions of the Rule 32 of the Central Civil Services Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 and to say that the nature of consultation with the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and the manner of communication of the advice of the UPSC to the delinquent Government servant have been subject matter of litigation in some cases in CAT/High Courts etc.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the T. V. Patel case, delivered on 19.04.2007, held that the Disciplinary Authority is not required to furnish a copy of the advice tendered by the Union Public Service Commission to the Charged Officer before the final order of penalty is passed. Accordingly, vide Office Memorandum No. 11012/10/2007- Estt.(A) dated 07.01.2008, the Ministries/ Departments/ Offices were requested to comply with the existing provisions of CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965 and bring the contents of the O.M. to the notice of all concerned for adopting a uniform stand.
2. Now, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment on 16.03.2011, while dismissing the Civil Appeal No. 5341 of 2006 in the matter of Union of India & Ors. vs S. K. Kapoor, has held that it is a settled principle of natural justice that if any material is to be relied upon in departmental proceedings, a copy of the same must be supplied in advance to the charge sheeted employee so that he may have a chance to rebut the same. The Hon'ble Court also observed that there may be a case where the report of the Union Public Service Commission is not relied upon by the disciplinary authority and in that case it is certainly not necessary to supply a copy of the same to the concerned employee. However, if it is relied upon, then a copy of the same must be supplied in advance to the concerned employee, otherwise, there will be violation of the principles of natural justice.
3. The matter has been examined in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs and it has been decided that in compliance of the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in S.K. Kapoor case, a copy of the advice of UPSC, in all cases where the Commission is consulted, may be provided to the Charged Officer, not withstanding the provisions of Rule 17 and Rule 32 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 before a final decision is taken by the Disciplinary Authority (DA).
4. Accordingly. it has been decided that in all disciplinary cases where the Commission is to be consulted, the following procedure may be adopted:
(i) On receipt of the Inquiry Report, the DA may examine the same and forward it to the Commission with his observations;
(ii ) On receipt of the Commission's report, the DA will examine the same and forward the same to the Charged Officer along with the Inquiry Report and his tentative reasons for disagreement with the Inquiry Report and/or the advice of the UPSC;
(iii) The Charged Officer shall be required to submit, if he so desires, his written representation or submission to the Disciplinary Authority within fifteen days, irrespective of whether the Inquiry report/advice of UPSC is in his favour or not.
(iv) The Disciplinary Authority shall consider the representation of the Charged Officer and take further action as prescribed in sub-rules 2(A) to (4) of Rule 15 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965.
5. A flow chart indicating the present and revised procedure is annexed for ready reference.
6. All Ministries/ Departments/Offices are requested to bring the above guidelines to the notice of all Disciplinary Authorities under their control. All cases, where final orders have not been issued may be processed as per these guidelines.
7. Formal amendment to CCS (CCA) Rules will follow.
8. Hindi version will follow.

Help Desk Management System ( HDMS ) by CEPT Mysore
The newly developed ‘Help Desk Management System (HDMS)’ to be made operational from 10.01.2014 is an attempt to standardize the mechanism of providing support to the field units in respect of various technical issues in a number of application packages developed by CEPT, Mysore. At present the technical support is being provided through email using the support email id (support@ceptmysore.net).
This existing system has a number of limitations of which the most important is the limit of sending emails via Gmail on a particular day resulting in delayed replies to the field units. Moreover a particular issue is being raised at various levels e.g. PO / Division / Region / Circle multiple times resulting in multiple handlings of same case thereby delaying the new cases. “Help Desk Management System (HDMS)" is developed as a solution to a number of such issues. This application is hosted over the website of CEPT i.e. http://cept.gov.in under the ‘Support’ Menu.
| |
The Salient features of this application are as follows: | |
1. Only registered users having valid user id and password (registered for logging into the CEPT website) can raise a technical issue, called “Ticket”, in respect of pre-defined modules.

However in the first phase of HDMS, a ticket can be raised in respect of 25 major modules / application / website being used at 06 major types of operative offices. The remaining applications / office type is planned to be included under HDMS in second phase subsequently.
3. Each technical issue raised is allotted a unique identity called “Ticket Number” automatically.

The user / ticket raiser may remind the CEPT in case the ticket raised by him is not replied within a pre-fixed time frame.
4. Each operative unit shall be mapped to the concerned Division / Region / Circle, which in turn will be able to view the tickets raised for the units under their administrative control. They can also remind on the pending tickets.
