PENSIONER’S PARITY

We are getting many phone calls and messages from Central Government Pensioners and employees regarding the Cabinet decision on 03.05.2017. Government has approved the recommendations of the Committee headed by Secretary (Pension) constituted by it as per the cabinet decision on 29.06.2016. The full details of the cabinet decision will be known only after issuing orders by Pension Ministry. The Pension Committee has told the JCM Staff Side that instead of Option-I parity, recommended by 7^th CPC, it is considering 5^th CPC recommended parity. It is presumed that the decision of the Cabinet may be to extend 5^th CPC recommended parity to pre-2016 pensioners as recommended by Pension Committee. We are waiting for detailed orders to confirm.

Regarding option-2 parity recommended by 7^th CPC, the Pension Committee and Cabinet has rejected the recommendations as NOT FEASIBLE, eventhough JCM Staff side has tried its best to convince the Pension Committee that it is Feasible. The intention behind the Cabinet decision dated 29.06.2017 to constitute a committee to examine the feasibility of option-I recommended by 7^th CPC was to deny the Option-I parity which is more beneficial to pre-2006 pensioners than the 5^th CPC Parity. Of course 5^th CPC parity is also beneficial but option-I parity of 7^th CPC is more beneficial to many employees.

Confederation of Central Government Employees and workers shall continue its struggle for Option-I parity alongwith the National Coordination Committee of Pensioners Association (NCCPA).

The details of the 3^rd May Cabinet decision will be published as and when orders are issued by Government. Please wait for detailed orders before coming to any conclusion.

REVISION OF PENSION AND GRANT OF DEARNESS RELIEF TO AUTONOMOUS BODY PENSIONERS

Pensioners & Employees of Autonomous Bodies are requested join 23^rd May 2017 Mass Dharna in front of Finance Ministers office organized by Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers.

The above issue was raised in the Standing Committee meeting of National Council (JCM) by Com. K. K. N. Kutty, who is the President of Confederation and Secretary General of National Coordination Committee of Pensioners Association (NCCPA) as an out of agenda item. Finance Ministry has repeated it stand as follows:

“Employees of Autonomous bodies are not Central Government employees and they are not covered with the terms of reference of the CPC. Therefore, like the previous pay commissions, the recommendations of the 7^th CPC are not directly applicable to the employees of Autonomous Bodies. The Govt. has taken specific decision and has extended the benefit of 7^th CPC to the employees of Autonomous Bodies and accordingly Finance Ministry has issued instructions contained in OM No. dated 13.01.2017.

The Central Government does not issue any instructions regarding implementation of recommendations of CPCpertaining to Pension in respect of Autonomous Bodies. The Ministry of Finance has not issued orders, earlier also, with regard to extension of orders relating to pension, as per CPC recommendations, to the retirees of Autonomous Bodies. The appropriate decision is to be taken by the concerned Autonomous Body in consultation with the concerned Administrative Ministry in keeping with the practice on the previous occasions and also in the light of the Rules and Regulations/Bye-laws governing the services conditions of the employees of the respective Autonomous Bodies.”

Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has included this issue as an important demand in the proposed mass dharna being organized in front of Finance Minister’s office New Delhi on 23.05.2017 (in addition to other demands like Revision of Allowances w.e.f 01.01.2016, increase in minimum wage and fitment formula as assured by the Group of Ministers etc.) Pensioners and employees of Autonomous bodies are requested to participate in the mass dharna in large members. Confederation is the only organisation of serving employees which is relentlessly fighting for the cause of Employees and Pensioners of Central Government Services and Autonomous Bodies.

PAY FIXATION OF RE-EMPLOYEED EX-SERVICEMEN

(PERSONNEL BELOW OFFICERS RANK-PBOR)

DOP&T has issued orders on 01.05.2017, regarding applicability of Revised Pay Rules 2016 to persons re-employed in Government Service after retirement including those re-employed Ex-Servicemen. Confederation has been demanding fixation of pay of re-employed Ex-Servicemen (Personnel Below officers Rank) by protecting their last pay drawn in Military service. We have written a detailed letter to Shri Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Department of Personnel) on 28.09.2016 giving full justification of pay protection, which is published in the Confederation Website – www.confederationhq.blogspot.com on 29.09.2016. We have also discussed the case as an agenda item in the Standing Committee meeting of National Council JCM on 25.10.2016 and Govt’s reply is published in the website on 3^rd December 2017 under the heading Minutes of the Standing Committee Meeting. After issuing of orders on 01.05.2017, we have again raised the issue in the Standing Committee meeting of National Council JCM on 3^rd May 2017 which was presided by Secretary, Department of Personnel. DOP&T took a firm stand that “PROTECTION OF LAST PAY DRAWN CANNOT BE EXTENDED TO RE-EMPLOYED EX-SERVICEMEN (PBOR) AS THEIR ENTIRE MILITARY PENSION AND PENSIONARY BENEFITS ARE IGNORED FOR PAY FIXATION IN THE RE-EMPLOYED POST”. In cases where the entire pension and pensionary benefits are not ignored for pay fixation (as in the case of officers) the initial basic pay on re-employment shall be fixed at the same stage as the last basic pay drawn before retirement. Inspite of our best efforts, there is no chance in changing the stand taken by DOP&T. we have to explore other means for getting justice to the re-employed Ex-Servicemen (PBOR).

Cabinet approves modifications in the 7th CPC recommendations on pay and pensionary benefits -- PIB News

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi approved important proposals relating to modifications in the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission) recommendations on pay and pensionary benefits in the course of their implementation. Earlier, in June, 2016, the Cabinet had approved implementation of the recommendations with an additional financial outgo of Rs 84,933 crore for 2016-17 (including arrears for 2 months of 2015-16).

The benefit of the proposed modifications will be available with effect from 1st January, 2016, i.e., the date of implementation of 7th CPC recommendations. With the increase approved by the Cabinet, the annual pension bill alone of the Central Government is likely to be Rs.1,76,071 crore.  Some of the important decisions of the Cabinet are mentioned below:

1.        Revision of pension of pre – 2016 pensioners and family pensioners

The Cabinet approved modifications in the recommendations of the 7th CPC relating to the method of revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners and family pensioners based on suggestions made by the Committee chaired by Secretary (Pensions) constituted with the approval of the Cabinet.  The modified formulation of pension revision approved by the Cabinet will entail an additional benefit to the pensioners and an additional expenditure of approximately Rs.5031 crore for 2016-17 over and above the expenditure already incurred in revision of pension as per the second formulation based on fitment factor.  It will benefit over 55 lakh pre-2016 civil and defence pensioners and family pensioners.

While approving the implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations on 29th June, 2016, the Cabinet had approved the changed method of pension revision recommended by the 7th CPC for pre-2016 pensioners, comprising of two alternative formulations, subject to the feasibility of the first formulation which was to be examined by the Committee.

In terms of the Cabinet decision, pensions of pre-2016 pensioners were revised as per the second formulation multiplying existing pension by a fitment factor of 2.57, though the pensioners were to be given the option of choosing the more beneficial of the two formulations as per the 7th CPC recommendations.

In order to provide the more beneficial option to the pensioners, Cabinet has accepted the recommendations of the Committee, which has suggested revision of pension based on information contained in the Pension Payment Order (PPO) issued to every pensioner.  The revised procedure of fixation of notional pay is more scientific, rational and implementable in all the cases.  The Committee reached its findings based on an analysis of hundreds of live pension cases.  The modified formulation will be beneficial to more pensioners than the first formulation recommended by the 7th CPC, which was not found to be feasible to implement on account of non-availability of records in a large number of cases and was also found to be prone to several anomalies. 

2.         Disability Pension for Defence Pensioners

The Cabinet also approved the retention of percentage-based regime of disability pension implemented post 6th CPC, which the 7th CPC had recommended to be replaced by a slab-based system.

           

The issue of disability pension was referred to the National Anomaly Committee by the Ministry of Defence on account of the representation received from the Defence Forces to retain the slab-based system, as it would have resulted in reduction in the amount of disability pension for existing pensioners and a reduction in the amount of disability pension for future retirees when compared to percentage-based disability pension. 

The decision which will benefit existing and future Defence pensioners would entail an additional expenditure of approximately Rs. 130 crore per annum.

GRANT OF CASUAL LEAVE FOR HOLDING THE MEETING OF THE “FEDERAL EXECUTIVE OF NATIONAL FEDERATION OF POSTAL EMPLOYEES” TO BE HELD ON 12th MAY-2017 AT NEW DELHI CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS, NEW DELHI-110 001. CELEBRATE MAY DAY IN A BEFITTING MANNER HOIST FLAGS IN FRONT OF ALL CENTRAL GOVT. OFFICES. CONDUCT JOINT RALLIES & MEETINGS From time immemorial relentless battles are being waged against the slavery and misery of the humanity. The rebellious flag of Spartacus against the Roman Empire, the heroic fight of Africans for generations together in search of Freedom from slavery, the flutters of red flag to save the human values which are under deadly attack on the anvil of industrial revolution.... all are noble struggles to stop the human exploitation. 19th Century stood mute witness to the bloody human history writ with oppression and suppression to maximize the profit at the cost of human lives. Later part of the19th Century ushered in a new creed of slavery to machines. The madness for profits peaked and the workers were reduced to the state of machines and the worker in the factory was a mere tool to earn profit for his master. There were no definite working hours. There were no respect for labour. There was no value for labourer. It is not exaggeration to say that the smoke ridden factories sucked out the life of a labourer at the young age of mere 20 years. This was the state of condition of workers world over. Many dreamt a great society free from exploitation; many wished for a society of eternal source of full realization of human potential in a pleasant and healthy environment; respect for labour, equal opportunities are the hall marks of a new ideal society. Many dedicated their lives to realize their dream society. Many more risked their lives to realize and reach that goal. Every defining moment, every upheaval in the history was the result of the struggles waged by progressive minds. These are the struggles that steered and decided the course of history of mankind. At its national convention in Chicago, held in 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labour Unions (which later became the American Federation of Labour), proclaimed that “eight hours shall constitute a legal day’s labour from and after May 1, 1856.” Working class heroes of Hey Market embraced the hanging noose with smile on their lips. The fight for eight-hour working day spread like a wild fire throughout the Continents. European and Russian workers jumped into strikes and walked out of their factories. In India for the first time Howrah Railway workers went on strike for working hours in the year 1882. Later on Indian workers struck the work for more than 25 times on the demand of working hours between 1882 - 1890. Eight-hour work; Eight-hour recreation; Eight-hour sleep had become the slogan of the workers worldwide. The struggle for eight-hour work has become a stepping-stone for future architect of a new society. The thought itself is horrifying that, had those struggles not happened and but for their sacrifices what would have been our condition in the present day society! How degrading it would be to have no control on our own lives? The struggle for eight-hour work challenged that de-humanizing state annihilating all the atrocities, laid a solid foundation for building a better future society. Thus, the struggle which appears simple and of no consequence for this generation, stood as a single cause for sweeping changes in the present day society. This May Day is the occasion for remembering reverently all the sacrifices and prepare to shoulder the responsibilities. Still the exploitation is continuing. Only deference is that the exploiter and exploitation has wrapped in sophistication! The form of exploitation changed but the reason and essence remains the same. This situation encompasses all the countries in the world. The three decades of implementation of so called omnipotent new economic policies destroyed the economic fabric of our country. The country became dependent on foreign powers. Our agriculture sector doomed. Monopoly of our farmers on their own seeds ceased. Health and education is not within the reach of common man. Wealth of the nation has been handed over to the private corporates for plundering. Corporate Sector dented the jealously guarded right of 8-hour work. Now we will find casual and outsourced labour working for 12 hours a day. Technology has not ceased the drudgery of the worker. Instead workload increased due to the ban on filling up of vacancies. Unemployment and under-employment increased alarmingly. Central government employees are facing onslaught on their dignity by not honouring the assurance given on the minimum pay, fitment factor and allowances. Attempts are afoot to weaken and render the unions and working class irrelevant. As the conscious workers, employees and citizens of this country, this May Day has manifolded our responsibilities. The silenced voice of the Chicago Martyrs should explode in reverberation in the raised fists, throats and thoughts of millions of workers. Let’s march in unison with the inspiration of May Day! Let’s protect our own rights and be part of that great effort to build a society of equality, justice and usher in peace and prosperity to the toiling millions of our countrymen. ........

Ref: -   Dte. No. 2-19/2015-PCC dated 01.03.20417.

Sir,

Your kind attention is invited towards Directorate letter No. referred above under which the instructions were issued to Chief PMG Tamilnadu Circle to grant MACP III to Sri. D. Siva Kumar Retd. SPM, Madras Medical College SO, Chennai ignoring his promotion earned through Departmental competitive examination based on the judgment given by Hon’ble Madras Tribunal in case No.1088/2011 vide order dated dated 14.03.2013 which was upheld by Supreme Court of India vide order in SLP No. 4848/2016 dated 16.08.2016.

As you are aware that in Department of Post about 50% of employees come through various departmental competitive examinations do not get the benefit of 3^rd MACP as the promotion earned through departmental competitive examination is counted as one MACP.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause suitable instructions according to this verdict of Supreme Court, so that all similarly placed officials may get the benefit of it to meet the end of justice as per spirit of constitutions of India.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(R. N. Parashar)
