Govt considering interim relief to avoid criticism that the govt employees have not benefited from the 7th CPC Award

Govt considering interim relief to avoid criticism that the govt employees and pensioners have not benefited from the 7th CPC Award: Times of India Report

The two panels set up by the government to review pensions and allowances are expected to announce interim relief and help blunt the criticism that the government employees and pensioners have not benefited from the 7th pay commission recommendations.

"They are expected to announce some interim award. The government will consider them," a senior government official, who did not wish to be identified, told TOI .

This should come as a relief to thousands of government employees and pensioners who have slammed the commission's recommendations saying the increase was paltry. Government employees and pensioners say the increase in pay and pension is limited and some employee associations have taken up the issue with the government.

After taking into account dearness allowances at the prevailing rate, the salary and pension of all government employees, including pensioners, was raised by at least 14.3% as on January 1, 2016 and up to 23% in upper brackets. While assuring employees and pensioners, officials say there is a limit to which salaries and pensions of government employees can be raised.

In June, the cabinet approved the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and decided that arrears of pay and pension benefits will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself. The recommendations have benefited over 1 crore employees, including over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which 14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.

But the government had set up two panels to examine the Pay Commission's recommendations with regards to pensions and allowances and they were given four months' time to submit their reports.

The government has implemented one of the two options suggested by the pay commission on pensions and has allowed all the allowances to be paid at their existing rates until the panel submits its recommendations.

Future computation of Dearness Allowance and adoption base index figure to Revised Minimum Wage – Regarding

“The next instalment of DA, which has become due as on 1.07.2016 if computed on the above basis of 260.46, shall work out to 3.28%. On ignoring the faction, the DA with effect from 01.07.2016 shall be 3%. We, request you to kindly take the above into account and issue orders for grant of 3% DA w.e.f. 01.07.2016.”

Dear Sir,

Sub: Future computation of Dearness Allowance and adoption base index figure to Revised Minimum Wage – Regarding

The revised pay structure, as recommended by the 7th CPC, was given effect as on 01.01.2016 as per the Government’s Notification. The Dearness Allowance, which was computed at 125% ( i.e 125.75 fraction of 0.75 being ignored), got merged with Pay as on that date. The 7th CPC has not indicated as to what base figure of AICPI(IW) the Revised Wages will relate to hereafter wards. As you are aware, the actual DA that was due as on 01.01.2016 was 125.75. It is only due to the practice of ignoring fraction; the DA was determined at 125%. No doubt, the said practice had not been impacting very much except for the postponement of the benefit by six months. It is, therefore, necessary that, Revised Wages are related to a base index figure equivalent to actual Dearness Allowance percentage of 125 that stands merged as on 01.01.2016. This is more so due to the fact that there is no possibility of the ignored fraction of 0.75 being reckoned for any computation in future.

We, therefore, request that, 12 monthly average, which stood at 261.33 as on 31.12.2015, may be taken at 260.46, which would provide the exact percentage of DA at 125. The future percentage increase in DA in other words may be computed with the base figure of 260.46. The next instalment of DA, which has become due as on 1.07.2016 if computed on the above basis of 260.46, shall work out to 3.28%. On ignoring the faction, the DA with effect from 01.07.2016 shall be 3%. We, request you to kindly take the above into account and issue orders for grant of 3% DA w.e.f. 01.07.2016.

Trade unions refuse to call off 2 September strikeTrade unions reject the request to call off the strike saying that the government has failed to address their 12-point charter of demands 

Senior Union ministers on Saturday held extensive talks after trade unions said no to the government’s request to call off their proposed nationwide general strike on 2 September.

Labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya had urged the central trade unions  on Friday to reconsider their decision to go on strike. However, trade unions on Saturday rejected the request saying that the government has failed to address their 12-point charter of demands. Replying to Dattatreya’s letter, All India Trade Unions Congress (AITUC) and Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) said the status report on the demands is “almost the same as that you circulated exactly one year ago, in the joint meeting with the CTUs held on August 26-27, on the eve of the general strike in 2015”. 
The unions attacked the government saying it is “equally unfortunate” that no concrete measures have been spelt on the issue of price control of essential commodities, statutorily fixing the minimum wage as per norms and social security. Meanwhile, power and coal minister Piyush Goyal and Dattatreya on Saturday held extensive consultations and meetings with senior labour ministry officials over the proposed countrywide strike, sources said. 
Both Goyal and Dattatreya are part of the five-member ministers’ panel on labour issues, which is chaired by finance minister Arun Jaitley, to talk to the CTUs over the 12-point charter of demands. The panel has recently held two-rounds of discussions with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affiliate Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) on 16 August and 24 August, which has also been “severely criticised” by other unions for holding such “exclusive discussions”. 
The panel last met all the unions on 26-27 August 2015. The unions had requested Dattaterya on 18 July this year to hold a meeting with the ministers’ panel to pay heed to their point of view, but no such meeting was convened. 
In anticipation of some positive response on the charter of demands, BMS is holding back its decision to join the stir on 2 September. Last year, BMS had opted out of ‘Bharat Bandh’ (2 September 2015) in view of the government’s assurances to work on nine out of the 12 demands. 
CITU general secretary Tapan Sen told PTI that there is no question of calling back the strike. Similarly, Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) vice president Ashok Singh also said that the decision to go ahead with strike stands. AITUC said, “AITUC along with other CTUs finds it difficult to accept your (government’s) request for reconsideration of call of protest strike on September 2, 2016. The decision to go on strike stands.”

Central Government considering not to form Pay Commission in future

No new commission may be formed in future for increasing salaries of central government employees, a senior Finance Ministry official told The Sen Times on condition of anonymity.

“The government is going to take a policy decision in this regard,” official told our reporters after issuing the 7th Pay Commission notification.

Pay Commissions makes much impact on the fiscal deficit, since pay commission awards come once in 10 years, the two to three years subsequent to each award tend to be fiscally stressful for the central government. States also suffered major blows to their finances for implementation of pay commission report, he added.

Presenting an idea about an alternative arrangement, he said that the 7th Pay Commission Chairman Justice A K Mathur had earlier told The Financial Express in an interview, “The government should review the salary of central government employees every year looking into the data available to it and based on the price index.”

The 7th Pay Commission recommended that the pay matrix may be reviewed periodically without waiting for the long period of ten years. It can be reviewed and revised on the basis of the Aykroyd formula which takes into consideration the changes prices of the commodities that constitute a common man’s basket, which the Labour Bureau at Shimla reviews periodically.

The Pay Commission also suggested that this should be made the basis for revision of that pay matrix periodically without waiting for another Pay Commission.

So, it will not be necessary to form a new pay Commission after every 10 years for central government employees and pensioners and whether any change is required regarding pay and allowances would be made considering inflation.

Accordingly, the central government is to follow this proposal of the Pay Commission and to discontinue the practice of appointing pay commissions in future to suggest salary structure and other perks for all central government employees and pensioners, the official gave his views.

The official said there would be an officer who would submit a report of inflation to the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley every three years.

He added some changes regarding pay and allowance would be made considering inflation.
