Cabinet approves Implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission 

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) on pay and pensionary benefits.   It will come into effect from 01.01.2016.

In the past, the employees had to wait for 19 months for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations at the time of 5th CPC, and for 32 months at the time of implementation of 6th CPC.  However, this time, 7th CPC recommendations are being implemented within 6 months from the due date.

The Cabinet has also decided that arrears of pay and pensionary benefits will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself, unlike in the past when parts of arrears were paid in the next financial year. 

The recommendations will benefit over 1 crore employees. This includes over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which 14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.

Highlights:

1.     The present system of Pay Bands and Grade Pay has been dispensed with and a new Pay Matrix as recommended by the Commission has been approved. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the Pay Matrix. Separate Pay Matrices have been drawn up for Civilians, Defence Personnel and for Military Nursing Service. The principle and rationale behind these matrices are the same.

2.     All existing levels have been subsumed in the new structure; no new levels have been introduced nor has any level been dispensed with. Index of Rationalisation has been approved for arriving at minimum pay in each Level of the Pay Matrix depending upon the increasing role, responsibility and accountability at each step in the hierarchy.

3.     The minimum pay has been increased from Rs.  7000 to 18000 p.m.  Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at lowest level will now be Rs.  18000 whereas for a freshly recruited Class I officer, it will be Rs.  56100.  This reflects a compression ratio of 1:3.12 signifying that pay of a Class I officer on direct recruitment will be three times the pay of an entrant at lowest level.

4.     For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices. After taking into account the DA at prevailing rate, the salary/pension of all government employees/pensioners will be raised by at least 14.29 % as on 01.01.2016.

5.     Rate of increment has been retained at 3 %. This will benefit the employees in future on account of higher basic pay as the annual increments that they earn in future will be 2.57 times than at present.

6.     The Cabinet approved further improvements in the Defence Pay Matrix by enhancing Index of Rationalisation for Level 13A (Brigadier) and providing for additional stages in Level 12A (Lieutenant Colonel), 13 (Colonel) and 13A (Brigadier) in order to bring parity with Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) counterparts at the maximum of the respective Levels.

7. Some other decisions impacting the employees including Defence & Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel include :

·        Gratuity ceiling enhanced from Rs.  10 to 20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity will increase by 25 % whenever DA rises by 50 %.

·        A common regime for payment of Ex-gratia lump sum compensation for civil and defence forces personnel payable to Next of Kin with the existing rates enhanced from Rs. 10-20 lakh to 25-45 lakh for different categories.

·        Rates of Military Service Pay revised from Rs.  1000, 2000, 4200 & 6000 to 3600, 5200, 10800 & 15500 respectively for various categories of Defence Forces personnel.

·        Terminal gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments for Short Service Commissioned Officers who will be allowed to exit Armed Forces any time between 7 and 10 years of service.

·        Hospital Leave, Special Disability Leave and Sick Leave subsumed into a composite new Leave named ‘Work Related Illness and Injury Leave’ (WRIIL). Full pay and allowances will be granted to all employees during the entire period of hospitalization on account of WRIIL.

8.     The Cabinet also approved the recommendation of the Commission to enhance the ceiling of House Building Advance from Rs.  7.50 lakh to 25 lakh. In order to ensure that no hardship is caused to employees, four interest free advances namely Advances for Medical Treatment, TA on tour/transfer, TA for family of deceased employees and LTC have been retained. All other interest free advances have been abolished.

9.     The Cabinet also decided not to accept the steep hike in monthly contribution towards Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS) recommended by the Commission. The existing rates of monthly contribution will continue. This will increase the take home salary of employees at lower levels by Rs. 1470. However, considering the need for social security of employees, the Cabinet has asked Ministry of Finance to work out a customized group insurance scheme for Central Government Employees with low premium and high risk cover.

10. The general recommendations of the Commission on pension and related benefits have been approved by the Cabinet. Both the options recommended by the Commission as regards pension revision have been accepted subject to feasibility of their implementation. Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 shall be implemented immediately. A Committee is being constituted to address the implementation issues anticipated in the first formulation. The first formulation may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by proposed Committee which is to submit its Report within 4 months.

11. The Commission examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of rationalization, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of 37 Allowances. Given the significant changes in the existing provisions for Allowances which may have wide ranging implications, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Committee headed by Finance Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC on Allowances.  The Committee will complete its work in a time bound manner and submit its reports within a period of 4 months. Till a final decision, all existing Allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates.

12. The Cabinet also decided to constitute two separate Committees (i) to suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of National Pension System (NPS) and (ii) to look into anomalies likely to arise out of implementation of the Commission’s Report.

13. Apart from the pay, pension and other recommendations approved by the Cabinet, it was decided that the concerned Ministries may examine the issues that are administrative in nature, individual post/ cadre specific and issues in which the Commission has not been able to arrive at a consensus.

14. As estimated by the 7th CPC, the additional financial impact on account of implementation of all its recommendations in 2016-17 will be Rs. 1,02,100 crore. There will be an additional implication of Rs. 12,133 crore on account of payments of arrears of pay and pension for two months of 2015-16.

       भारतीय डाक कर्मचारी महासंघ

                   

    11 जुलाई से हड़ताल का निर्णय राजनीतिक - बी.पी.ई.एफ.

भारतीय डाक कर्मचारी महासंघ के नवनिर्वाचित सेक्रेटरी जनरल श्री संतोष कुमार सिंह ने बताया कि हड़ताल पर हम भी जायेंगे लेकिन सारी स्थितियों की समीक्षा करने के बाद l आज कोई ऐसी समस्या नहीं है कि हड़ताल की बात की जाय l आज जो भी लोग हड़ताल की बात कर रहे हैं वे पूरी तरह राजनीतिक हैं l विरोध के लिए विरोध करना इनका स्वभाव है l 11 जुलाई से हड़ताल के लिए छापे गये पोस्टरों में यह लिखा जाना कि “जीने मरने का सवाल है” इन संगठनो की सोच पर एक प्रश्नचिन्ह लगाता है। पिछली सरकार के दस वर्ष के कार्यकाल में एक भी ऐसा पोस्टर नहीं छापा गया । जहाँ तक रेल की एन.आर. एम.यु. का प्रश्न है तो इस संगठन ने हड़ताल में कभी भी अन्य संगठनों का साथ नहीं दिया । वैसे भारतीय डाक कर्मचारी महासंघ के हड़ताल में शामिल हुए बिना 1% भी हड़ताल नहीं होगी!

श्री सिंह ने कर्मचारियों को आश्वस्त किया कि परेशान होने की जरूरत नहीं है l वेतन आयोग पर सरकार एवं बी.पी.ई.एफ./जी.ई.यन.सी.(भारतीय मजदूर संघ) बहुत गंभीर है यही कारण है कि इतिहास में पहली बार भारत के कैबिनेट सचिव ने सभी विभाग के संगठनों से सीधे वार्ता की है l

ज्ञात हो कि सातवें वेतन आयोग ने वेतन में 2.57 गुना बढ़ोत्तरी की सिफारिश की है जिसे कैबिनेट सचिव के साथ वार्ता में इस संघ के अलावा सभी अन्य संघों ने 2.87 गुना करने की बात की है l भारतीय मजदूर संघ के प्रयास से अन्य संघों ने जो मांग की है सरकार उससे अधिक देने वाली है l  फिर हड़ताल की बात कहाँ से आती है l सीधे साधे कर्मचारियों को गुमराह करके वर्तमान में हड़ताल की बात करना केवल राजनीतिक फैसला है l अगर सरकार अपने वायदे से अलग हटती है तो निश्चित रूप से सबसे आगे रहकर भारतीय डाक कर्मचारी महासंघ हड़ताल का नेतृत्व करेगा l भारतीय मजदूर संघ ने अपनी इस भावना से माननीय वित्त मंत्री जी को एवं माननीय कार्मिक मंत्री श्री जितेन्द्र सिंह जी को भी अवगत करा दिया है l कर्मचारी इन राजनीतिक ठेकेदारों से होशियार रहें। मान कर चले कि जो माँगा गया है उससे ज्यादा मिलने वाला है l

सूत्रों से ज्ञात हुआ है कि वित्तमंत्रालय वेतन आयोग पर कैबिनेट नोट तैयार कर रहा है l कैबिनेट नोट आते ही सारी स्थिति स्वतः साफ हो जायेगी l इससे पहले कोई हड़ताल की बात करना  उचित नहीं है!
