2014 – An Unforgettable Year for Central Government Employees..!



2014 – An Unforgettable Year for Central Government Employees..!

2014 was a year of expectations, disappointments, and trials and tribulations for Central Government Employees and Pensioners too.

About Central Govt Employees at a glance 2014 – This article brings you some important events and announcements…

Strike: The year began with a collective decision of all employees federations to go on a strike demanding, among other things, 50% DA merger, and date of effect of the 7th CPC. When it became clear that there was going to be a change of government at the Centre, the federations began to plan their moves in order to somehow convince the Congress Government to accept their demands. At last, the Confederation alone held protests on February 10 and 11. Other federations announced that they want to resolve the issue by holding talks and withdrew their strike plans. But the Central Government remained unmoved.

Retirement Age: A huge rumour started that in a desperate attempt to secure votes, the party at the Centre would be more than willing to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. Despite a number of questions that were raised in the Parliament, and clarifications that were given for it, the topic somehow never quite died away. At least once every year, the issue makes headlines and vanishes.

7th Pay Scale: All the employees federations and associations, including the National Council – JCM, presented separate memorandums to the 7th Pay Commission listing their demands and expectations. Of particular interest was the ‘Expected Pay Structure‘, which described how the new pay package should be.

Income Tax: Since there were earlier news that the new income tax limit would likely be raised to Rs. 5 lakhs, a lot was expected from Arun Jaitley. But, he raised the income tax limit to Rs. 2.5 lakhs and the 80C limits to Rs. 1.5 Lakhs.

6-day work week: A lot of buzz was created when news appeared that 6-day work week was going to be soon implemented, particularly in Delhi circle.

Aadhaar Based Biometric Attendance System: Biometric attendance system, based on finger prints, were implemented in Central Government offices all over the country. Aadhaar Card-based attendance system was also introduced.

Air Travel on LTC: The popular air travel LTC facility was extended by another two years in September. In addition to J&K and NER, the facility now covers Andaman and Nicobar Islands too.

New announcements kept pouring in after Modi Government took charge.

Clean India: Orders were issued to clean up the country under the ‘Swachh Bharat’ mission. Since the movement was going to be launched on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the national holiday was cancelled.

Declaration of Assets: Central Government employees were asked to submit information about their assets and debts to the government.

Digital Life Certificates: In November, the Central Government made arrangements to issue Aadhaar Card-based ‘Digital Life Certificates’ for pensioners.

Retirement Age 58: Fear and tension prevailed among Central Government employees when announcements appeared that the Centre was actually planning to reduce the retirement age. The Government then denied such plans.

Mail vans to travel farther


The postal department expects to save time and cost by operating the vans to various places in the State — File Photo
In an effort aimed at improving delivery and reducing dependence on rail transport, the department of posts has started operating mail vans to places across the State.

Starting on a pilot basis, the department is now operating mail vans between Chennai and Madurai via Tiruchi, and between Chennai and Coimbatore via Salem. At present, nearly 75,000 mails and parcels, on an average, are processed and transported through trains every day. 

The department expects to save a minimum of two or three hours by operating the mail vans, and reduce the cost of transportation through the rail network by 50 per cent. “We plan to speed up delivery within the same postal region to the same day,” said Mervin Alexander, postmaster general (Chennai city region).

Officials of the postal department noted that operation of mail vans would also reduce congestion at railway stations. “Instead of transporting mail to railway stations and waiting to load them according to train schedules, we may save a few hours by operating mail vans directly to the post offices in other places,” an official said. 

Subhash C. Barmma, postmaster general (mails and marketing), said, “We are exploring more routes including Madurai to Coimbatore and Chennai to Puducherry and Villupuram. We also plan to tap the e-commerce market by transporting mails through the road network.” 

Earlier, dedicated rail coaches were used to transport mails. Now, mail bags are loaded on unreserved passenger coaches, thereby posing inconvenience to commuters and sometimes resulting in damage to goods. 

Officials, recalling instances of mails falling onto railway tracks, said delivery through the road network would ensure safer delivery, and reduce damage to mail bags, which, at present, are pilfered at the rate of one or two per cent. More mail vans will be operated depending on the success of the pilot project, officials said.

    FINACLE : SAVINGS ACCOUNT (SB) ISSUES AND SOLUTION


    Solution For Finacle SB Issues

    Issues 1:
    How to see balance in SB Account at the time of deposit and withdrawal ?

    Solution: Invoke Menu CTM and then Enter Account Number

    Please see below screen shot.
    Issues 2 : 
    What to do when cheque is presented but not recognized by Finacle CBS?
    Issue noticed in one of CBS Post Office in Account number 0289818958 where instrument number 805380 was presented.


    Solution : When the cheque book is issued through the menu HCHBM, the radio button Acknowledge should be clicked as Yes. The issue was resolved by acknowledging the cheque through the menu HCHBM- Function Acknowledge and then verifying using the function Acknowledge Verify.

    Issues 3 : 
    How to convert existing SBGEN (non cheque) account to SBCHQ (cheque account) ? 

    First the account should be transferred to the SB cheque scheme using the menu HACXFRSC by PA. Supervisor has to verify the same. Then through the CASBAM menu option the account should be modified to allow cheques. Again, Supervisor has to verify the modification. 

    Issues 4 : 
    Account Not Getting Closed. Error G3 is coming. 

    Solution : This issue occurs if the account being closed is the interest credit account for some other account e.g MIS or SCSS or TD account. To check to which account this is linked, the user can check the transactions in the account being closed in the menu HACLI. The interest transactions will show the account number to which the account being closed is linked as shown below
    If the closure account is Interest Credit Account, go to Account Modification menu for that linked account. Change the Interest Credit Account to some other account and then proceed closing this account.

    Issues 5 : 
    Dormant SB account closure issue?
    Dormant means Silent
    Issue Reported : Since the SB account being closed is dormant, the account closure transaction is not verified and gives error.

    Solution:
    The closure process has to be cancelled and the account status to be modified to Live before closing it.
    Steps
    a) Cancel the closure operation in HCAAC menu. While cancelling an user info will be shown that the transaction has to be manually reversed. After the cancel operation in HCAAC, the transaction has to be deleted in HTM. 
    b) If the account has to be closed , then after cancelling the transaction in HTM menu by selecting Modify function.
    c) Modify the account status of the SB account in CASBAM menu from Silent to Live and verify it
    d) Close the account now in HCAAC and verify it

    Issues 6 : 
    Even after deleting RD Standing Instructions using HSSIM menu, Savings account is not allowed to close.
    After deleting the instruction serial number in teller, same has to be verified in supervisor. Then only closure can be done.

    Issues 7 : 
    Trial closure for SB and PPF accounts

    There is no Trial Closure for SB and PPF. However, to see closing interest, following process is to be followed:-

    It involves two components-Closing accrued Interest for completed months and balance outstanding in the account.

    • The closing accrued interest will be arrived after rounding off the amount shown in HPR to next rupee. The total amount to be paid to depositor will be arrived at by adding the balance in the account shown in HACLI/HACCBAL Menu option and the closing accrued interest. 
    • This amount is to be shown to depositor who wants to close the account. If he agrees, actual closure has to be done.
    • In case SB7A is received from BO for closing sanction of a Savings Account, this amount is to be entered in SB7A by Supervisor with the remarks on the top that "This sanction is valid up to last working day of the current month" . Sending the closing sanction to BO should be avoided in the last week of the month.

    Now, post offices can provide ATM cards, account statements


    Post offices moved a step closer to becoming banks. The government has allowed certain eligible branches to issue ATM cards to their account holders and also account statements instead of giving out passbooks, as most private sector banks do. 

    On Tuesday, the government issued a gazette notification amending the Post Office Savings Bank General Rules, 1981. The rules will come into force immediately. These facilities will be available to the branches that are working on core banking solution software, essentially branches that part of an electronic network. 

    Post offices currently provide savings account, recurring deposits, fixed deposits and many other small savings schemes run by the government including the popular Public Provident Funds. 

    The funds raised by them largely go to finance central and state governments. India post currently has about 1.55 lakh branches, nearly 90% are in the rural areas, which many experts see as a good vehicle for financial inclusion. The notification says the post office savings bank could issue automated teller machine or debit card to account holders on request or otherwise which can be used to withdraw funds from any of the branches having core banking. 

    The deposits to these accounts could be made and accepted through any electronic mode. The RBI had decided against issuing a banking licence to India Post when it gave out licence to IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services saying it would decide after consultation with government. The new rules notified by the government will push India Post closer to banks.

    Launch of PAHAL (DBTL) scheme on 1st January 2015 in entire Country




    1.      The Direct Benefit transfer of LPG (DBTL) scheme PAHAL (Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh) has been re-launched in 54 districts on 15.11.2014 in the 1st Phase and will be launched in the rest of the 622 districts of the country on 1.1.2015.
    2.       Consumers who wish to join the scheme will have to either link their Aadhaar number into their bank account and their LPG consumer or if they do not possess Aadhaar number, they will have to link their bank account directly with their 17 digit LPG Id. Once a Consumer joins the scheme, he will get the cylinders at market price and will receive LPG subsidy directly in his bank account. A sum of Rs.568 will be paid in advance to the consumer, in the bank account, who now joins the scheme, as soon as he makes the first booking for a cylinder after joining the scheme to ensure that he has extra money required to pay for the first LPG cylinder at market price. This is in addition to subsidy that is paid on each cylinder.  Camps are being set up at various banks, and LPG distributor’s premises to enable LPG consumers to open bank account and enroll for Aadhaar if they need to do so to join the scheme.
    3.      To keep consumers informed about their status in the scheme, consumers will receive SMS at every stage in the scheme. To avail of this feature all LPG consumers are requested to register their mobile numberwith their distributor if they have not done so. They are also advised to receive cylinders only with cash memos to be assured of their subsidy transfer.
    4.      The scheme will cover over 15.3 crore consumers across 676 districts of the country. Currently over 6.5 crore consumers i.e. 43% have already joined the scheme and will receive subsidy in their bank account.
    5.      DBTL is designed to ensure that the benefit meant for the genuine domestic customer reaches them directly and is not diverted. By this process public money will be saved. All LPG customers are requested to immediately join the scheme as above (Detailed Scheme is in Annexure).
    6.      All LPG consumers who are yet to join the scheme must do so quickly. Those who do not have bank accounts must first open bank accounts and then submit the required details to their LPG distributor/Bank for becoming cash transfer compliant.
    7.      As on 30.12.2014, an amount of Rs.624 Crore has been transferred to over 20 Lakh LPG consumers since the launch of the scheme on 15th November 2014.
    8.      LPG consumers who do not wish to avail the LPG subsidy for LPG cylinders can simply choose to opt out of subsidy. Over 12000 citizens have already voluntarily given up subsidy freeing up crores of subsidy amount for their less privileged brethren.

    Annexure
    Salient Features/Timelines of the modified DBTL scheme
    What if LPG consumer had joined the scheme earlier?
    LPG consumers who had joined the scheme earlier by linking his Aadhaar number in LPG and Bank database will get the cylinder at Market price w.e.f 1.1.15 and the subsidy will be transferred into their bank account. They do not have to do anything further. They can check CTC (cash transfer compliance) status on www.mylpg.in.
    How to Join the modified Scheme?
    For joining the scheme, the consumers have to fill up a form available with distributors and also on www.mylpg.in. The options are as under:
    1.      LPG consumers can join the scheme by providing their Aadhaar number to LPG distributor and to Bank.
    2.      LPG consumers who do not have Aadhaar number can
    a.       Give Bank details to LPG distributor OR
    b.      Give 17 digit LPG ID to the Bank (select banks only).
     What happens if the LPG Consumer joins the scheme or if he doesn’t join it?
    Once the scheme is launched on 1.1.15, LPG consumers who join the scheme will get a one time permanent advance of Rs.568/- as soon as they book a cylinder after joining the scheme.
    All consumers who have joined the scheme will get LPG cylinders at market price and subsidy amount in their bank account after launch of the scheme in their district/state.
    Between 1st January 2015 and 31st March 2015 (three months), any LPG consumer who does not join the scheme will get the cylinder at subsidized price as they are getting it today.
    Between 1st April 2015 and 30th June 2015 (three months), those LPG consumers who still do not join the scheme will start getting the cylinder at market price and subsidy will be parked with the OMCs. As soon as they join the scheme within this 3 month period, the parked subsidy would be sent to their bank account, else it will lapse.
    From 1st July 2015, consumers who have still not joined the scheme will get the cylinder at market price, but subsidy will not be admissible. Subsidy will be transferred only to the bank account of those consumers who have joined the scheme prior to 30th June 2015.
