7th Pay Commission : Central government employees are feeling let down by the political authority as well as their own union, due in terms of better monthly salary and allowances

7th Pay Commission : Central government employees are feeling let down by the political authority as well as their own union, due in terms of better monthly salary and allowances.

Despite representations to the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Finance Minister, Railways Minister, Departmental heads and Committees set up by the government to look into the pay and allowances related grievances, the employees have expressed utter disappointment that they have not been heard so far.
"We had sought a minimum pay of Rs 26,000, they gave us Rs 18,000. After every meeting they do not say anything. We ask, how much you can improve upon, you tell us how much you can go, buy they don't say anything, said K. K. N. Kutty, President, Confederation of Central Government employees and Workers, on the discussions the union has had over Allowances.
"There is no discussion in real terms regarding 7th pay commission, they simply listen to us and do not commit anything. We think the political authority, we don’t know, it could be Prime Minister, has not authorized the bureaucracy to commit anything to us,"added Kutty.
When around 33 lakh central government employees threatened to go on strike on July 11 protesting the implementation of 7th Pay Commission, the Finance Ministry had agreed to set up Anomalies Committee, and Allowances Committee who would be mandated to go through the fine print of the 7th Pay Commission.
Even after the formation of 22-member Anomalies Committee headed by Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) with members from both the official and staff side, and Allowances Committee headed by Finance Secretary, no settlement on the wage hike or allowances issue appears in sight.
The Government is yet to set up the high level committee on minimum wage, fitment formula revision and other main demands of central government employees as assured by Cabinet Ministers in July 2016.
The National Joint Council of Action, a front formed by six government staff unions, including Confederation of Central Government Employees (CCGE), All India Defence Employee Federation and National Coordination Committee of Pensioners Association representing the staff side of the central government employees have even threatened to go on a large scale agitation and hold a march up to the Parliament on December 15, if government fails to improve on pay and allowances over what has been implemented under 7th Pay Commission.
The point not to be missed here is that, while the salaries of central government employees were revised after 10 years, However, our country's MPs’ and MLA' s salaries doesn't need a pay commission, they will increase it themselves.

Death Claims to be Processed within 07 Days and Retirement Claims to be Settled on the Day of Retirement

Press Information Bureau

Death Claims to be Processed within 07 Days and Retirement Claims to be Settled on the Day of Retirement
Payment of Statutory Contributions Henceforth only through Internet Banking
The Prime Minister of India during the PRAGATI review meeting held on 26th October desired that claims related to death cases be prioritized and expedited and retirement claims may be settled on the day of retirement. In accordance, the processes have been reviewed and instructions have been issued to field offices to settle death claims within a period of 07 days from the date of receipt of proposal and retirement claims on the day of retirement. The officials in the facilitation centre of field offices have been instructed to scrutinize the claims and guide the claimant regarding submission of required documents in appropriate shape. An official has been posted in the facilitation centers of EPFO this category of claims.

Employers are now increasingly using internet banking to deposit statutory EPF dues since EPFO made it mandatory to use internet banking as the mode of receipt of EPF dues. 96.03% contributions in October 2016 were received online.


In an important judgment delivered by the High Court of Madras in the matter of writ petition filed by Builders Association of India, Madurai, the High Court dismissed the petition praying non enforcement of EPF & MP Act, 1952 every employee employed in or in connection with the work or that factory or establishment, other than an excluded employee, who has not become a member already shall also be entitled and required to become a member of the Fund from the date of joining the factory or establishment.

To expand the reach of convenience offered to EPF members, EPFO has joined the network of Common Services Centers (CSC). A Memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between EPFO and CSC e-Governance Services India Limited (CSC SPV) on 25th October 2016. The MoU is initially for a period of five years. Every year on 14st November, pensioners were required to submit their life certificates. From this year onward, pensioners can submit digital life certificates via Jeevan Pramaan Patra programme through a large number of points of Presence (PoP) of CSC network in addition to those available at EPFO offices. The pensioners living in remote areas can avoid cost and inconvenience of travelling down to the EPF offices or their banks for filing paper based life certificate through this arrangement.

            Proposal: The allowance is required to be continued as this special            allowance has been sanctioned in lieu of higher pay scale.

(i.e. if      this allowance  is drawn for three  years it will be  added to basic pay while          pay fixation on promotion.)

To,
            The Secretary,
            Department of Posts,
            Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110 001

Sub: Withdrawal of the proposed indefinite hunger fast in front of Dak Bhawan from 3rd November, 2016 and two days strike on 9th & 10th November 2016
                                                
Sir,
            While expressing our sincere thanks to you and the Postal Board for taking positive action for settling the demand for bonus parity to Gramin Dak Sevaks, we would like to request your sympathetic and immediate intervention for implementing the Directorate orders for payment of revised wages to Casual, Part time Contingent employees working in the Postal Department with effect from 01.01.2006. 

      The Directorate has issued orders for payment of revised wages (6th CPC minimum) to casual labourers in the month of January 2015. Subsequently the queries raised by some Chief PMGs were also clarified by Directorate. Even though 21 (twenty-one) months are over, the Directorate orders are not yet implemented in some circles. We have already brought the case to your notice and the notice of the concerned Chief PMGs several times, but the issue still remains unsettled. Hence we were compelled to include this demand also as the second demand of the proposed indefinite fast in front of Dak Bhawan from 3rd November and two days strike on 9th & 10th November 2016.

         As you have assured us that the grievances of this poor and most downtrodden section of workers will be settled in a time-bound manner, we hereby inform you that we have decided to withdraw the proposed hunger fast from 3rd November and two days strike on 9th & 10th November 2016.

          We once again request you to issue strict instructions to all Chief PMGs to implement the Directorate orders in a time bound manner, say, before 30th November 2016.
        
              Thanking you in anticipation

                                                    Yours faithfully

Kiran Parmar -(MTS) A RMS employee and a member of Indian Kabaddi Team which won the 2016 World Cup

Thirty-one-year-old Kiran Parmar from Ahmedabad is a member of Indian Kabaddi team which won The Kabaddi World Cup, 2016. But Kiran’s is not a regular story. What makes his journey special is how he overcame various obstacles to achieve this feat.Kiran is a resident of Jamalpur area in Ahmedabad. He started playing at a fairly young age, and at 16, represented his schools in national tournament. But success didn’t come easy.His father, Lakshmanbhai Mafatlal Parmar, was a national-level kabaddi player who had to take up sewage cleaning to feed his family of five. Lakshmanbhai works at Nikol, Naroda, where he cleans the local society drains, and now manages a group of cleaners. He is just three years away from his retirement.Kiran’s first break came when he was selected to represent his school at a national tournament in 2001. That got him an admission to the Sports Authority of India’s hostel. “My son has achieved what I dreamed for myself. I always told him not to lose focus, keep playing and luck will follow,” says Lakshmanbhai.In 2007, Kiran secured a job with Railway Mail Service (RMS), Bhavnagar. When that left him with hardly any time to practice, he got a transfer to his hometown Ahmedabad and has since been working at the RMS, Kalupur. Meanwhile in 2008, Kiran married the love of his life, Kusum, a former national kabaddi player. She was recognised as the Best Player of Gujarat in 2003 in the national-level Kabaddi Tournament in J& K.“I catch up with practise two hours in the morning near the river front and an hour and a half in the evening. The Indian Kabaddi Federation selected me for the Pro Kabaddi League after I represented the RMS speed post kabaddi team at the nationals,” says Kiran, who never had to look back since.Kiran at play Kiran is a defender and raider. He was part of the winning side Hyderabadi Horses in Karnataka Premier League in 2011. He has also been part of the Ahmedabad Kabaddi team, which has been winning at state level since 2010.He played for Bengaluru Bulls in the Pro Kabaddi League in 2014. Kiran only played a single season for Bengaluru Bulls as he suffered an injury that season.
