Some Points / Suggestions for VII th pay commission

It is proposed to give a memorandum to the Chairman of the VII th pay commission our suggestion on the following points, hence it is invited from the colleagues more suggestion   to incorporate in the memorandum. 

 

Since 1946, six pay commissions had been constituted to review and recommend the pay structure of the Central Government Employees. The pay commissions have taken many aspects into consideration to prescribe the pay structure. Some mile stones are

i)                    Living wage

ii)                   Need-based wage

iii)                 Proper pay package

 

Generally, the pay commission will analyse all the aspects including the economic situation of the country, financial resources of the government, comparison with public sector, private sector and state government pay structure.

It is observed an interesting factor which is common to all the past pay commission recommendations, particularly in the matter of percentage of increase in the pay. Average 3 times increase in the pay commission recommended by each pay commission and it was implemented.

 

The proposed pay commission prefer to continue the same running pay band and grade pay system the revised pay structure may like as below.

The 6 th Pay commission introduce a new method of giving annual increment in 1^st July and employees completing six months and above in the scale as on July 1^st will eligible for increment.

 

It is suggested instead of 1^st July if it is as 1^st Jan the problem of Feb to June and also the increment earned for 6 months qualifying service having the punishment of 6 months increment withheld of the punishment having no effect also solved .The full increment will be earned after completion of one year only.

 

The pay in the revised scale should be fixed to both those in either in substantive or officiating post on 01.01.2016. The next increment will be on 01.01.2017.

 

If those who are having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be given as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced for full completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on 01.01.2017 which is beneficial to the official without any postponement of increment from 01.01.2017.

Those who are promoted on 01.01.2016 the pay in the pre-revised scale should be fixed on 01.01.2016 and 3% increment should be given for promotion with next grade pay.

 

The increment for promotion having higher responsibility should be minimum 10% (deputation allowance is 10% and teaching allowance 15%) for not involving higher responsibility it may be 3% . For MACP either it may be 3% increase only or a separate intermediately grade pay to be introduced for getting 10% increase. The promotion is not attractive meagre amount of increase in Pay and even in drop in emoluments when promoted to station from 30% station  to 20% station.

 

Those who are promoted after 01.01.2016 the next increment will be on 01.01.2017 only but at proportionate rate.

 

               Eg: if promoted on 02.02.2016 then his next increment on 01.01.2017 at 2.75%(3*11/12%)

                ie 0.25%  to be reduced per month. 

      

If those who are having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be given as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced for full completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on 01.01.2017  which is beneficial to the official.

 

The same will be adopted for retirement cases also.

 

Those who are retiring between  Jan to June even though they are having more than six months qualifying service they are not eligible for increment but those who are retiring on or after July and having only six months qualifying service will earn increment on 01.07. This also can be removed by adopting the same analogy as mentioned above by giving proportionate increment.

 

If this will be recommended it will be another mile stone in the recommendation of pay commission.

 

For example those who are retiring in between Feb to June they will get a proportionate increment @0.25% per month and it will give some benefit to the retiring employee.

Nowadays, any organized sector or corporate sector welcoming the cashless treatment nearby residence. Hence, instead of Medical Attendance Rules, it is better to provide Health Insurance coverage to all employees with their family on recovering Rs300/= per month as CGHS recovery and provide Insurance coverage to all employees. Nowadays only 20 -30% employees only enjoying the benefit under MA rules but this scheme will cover all the employees.

 

The yearly contribution by all Central Government employees will touch the amount of Rs 1326 crores by 3684543 employees if it becomes 2 times (ie Rs 600) in 7^th Pay Commission the amount will be Rs 2652 crores but the expenditure on reimbursement of medical claims shows 50% of the above amount for the past 3 years.

2009                        2010                             2011

518.89                    641.21                         599.34 (brochure 34 of Govt of India)

 If health insurance provided, the fear on health will reduce and will give hope on living and on department welfare.

Cadre re-structuring of Gr. ‘C’ cadre in SBCO.

CHQ/AISBCEU/2014/01                                                                            Dt. 01.01.2014.

To,

Sri V.P.Singh

DDG (P) [Chairman, Cadre Restructuring Committee]

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhavan,

New Delhi 110 001.

            Sub: Cadre re-structuring of Gr. ‘C’ cadre in SBCO.

            Ref: DDG (p)’s proposed meeting with Postal Joint  

              Council of Action on 08.01.2014

Sir,

                        This is regarding the proposal in connection with SBCO cadre views and demands to consider the same in the Cadre Re-structuring committee for Gr. ‘C’ staff in Post Offices. The All India Savings Bank Control Employees Union is the largest non-federated union in SBCO cadre under Department of Posts secured 69% membership. As there is no representative to this union in the Postal JCA, our Union suggests the following to express our demands and views regarding restructure of SBCO cadre. This may kindly be taken into consideration in the Cadre Restructuring committee.

I.                           The present set of SBCO function is a failure one, since the officials of SBCO could not discharge their auditing work properly due to the direct intervention of Divisional Heads and Postmasters by threatening the SBCO staff not to raise the objections.

 

II.                        The main reason for the above problems that  they are working under the control of Postmasters and Divisional Heads instead of separate control either under the control of Director, Postal Accounts or Chief Accounts Officer.

III.                        The agreement work in SBCO cadre is a failure one in the past ten years in all Circles due to shortage of staff, increased work load and non submission of daily returns to SBCO in time.

IV.                                 The agreement process is very difficulty due to handling three databases in three different server one for Head Office , another one for Sub office and third one for SBCO which is taking more time in reconciling the discrepancies.

V.                       The maintenance of statistical information and voucher checking only is in progress in all Circles.

Necessity to restructure the SBCO cadre:

a.                 After decentralization, nowadays there are so many frauds in sub offices/Branch Offices due to failure of periodical inspection and in sufficient vigilance.

b.                 Due to none monitoring of sub offices ledger bulk deposit posting, bulk deposits are not brought in to account.

c.                 The depositors money are not brought in to account, even though pass book entries are being made by the sub office officials. These non accounting of Public money are not checked during periodical inspection by the Divisional/Sub Divisional Heads/Inspector of Post offices.

d.                 The Core Banking Solution is under operation in all nationalized Banks and in all the branches and there is no ledger agreement as being done in SBCO. Instead they are doing the Supervisory check with daily agreement Receipt/Payments balance sheet.

e.                 In our Postal Department also, the CBS is under process and it will be introduced shortly in all Head offices.

f.                    Simply saying, the vigilance check has to be improved by making some changes in the SBCO setup with the approval of Cadre Restructuring Committee.

Suggestions to changes in the SBCO setup

1.                  In all the Regions, the SBCO staff has to be brought under the control of Group Officer in the cadre of CAO/Senior AO who is under the direct control of Director, Postal Accounts. Then only, the SBCO staff could discharge their auditing work properly.

2.            The designation of SBCO staff has to be changed as given below according to their nature of work. 
 

Existing Designation	Proposed Designation
Postal Assistant	Junior Auditor [Entry level] Senior Auditor – Grade-II [Grade Pay-2800] Senior Auditor – Grade I [Grade pay-4200] Chief Auditor                    [Grade pay-4600]
Supervisor – LSG Senior Supervisor – HSG-II Chief Supervisor – HSG-I	Section Officer – Grade Pay -4800] [GAZ ] [The Section officer post has to be filled up from the seniority of Chief Auditors. In the set up, the SBCOs may be centralized at Divisional level and after introduction of Core Banking Solution, it may be centralized at Regional level for bigger Circle and Circle level in smaller Circle]

3.                  Changes in the nature of work:

a.                 Maintenance of statistical information for all categories

b.                 Maintenance of Office wise Registers for all categories

c.                 10%  test checking of vouchers for HO transactions other than RD deposits and 2% test checking of RD deposits of each date.

 

d,        In the Sub offices, the following checks are to be carried out until the introduction of CBS in all the sub offices.

i.                     In r/o of SB category, 5% of vouchers  BAT have to be checked by visiting surprisingly with voucher balance and Sub offices ledger balance at Sub Offices itself In r/o of RD category, 2% of Deposits and 10% of closures/withdrawals have to be checked by visiting surprisingly with voucher balance and Sub offices ledger balance at Sub Offices itself.

 

ii.                   In r/o of TD/MIS/SCSS  category, 10% of Deposits and 1% of interest payments  have to be checked by visiting surprisingly with voucher balance and Sub offices ledger balance at Sub Offices itself.

                                                          OR

iii.                   A One day transaction of all categories marked by the vigilance squad has to be checked for all categories.

 

iv.                After introduction of Core banking solution in all offices, the percentage checking may be withdrawn for which all the datas would be stored in Centralized server.

e.     If the voucher checking work is ordered at sub offices level directly, the present ledger agreement work in SBCO branches may be withdrawn.

f.        In the present atmosphere, the SBCO branch work must be restructured with a vigilance setup to avoid more number of frauds. 

 

g.     In the proposed CBS, all the SBCOs are to be centralized under Region wise  under the control of Group Officer in the cadre of CAO/Senior AO

           

This union therefore requests your kind honour to consider views of this union to prevent the frauds by improving vigilance check and also the SBCO staff could discharge their auditing work properly under the direct control of CAO/Director. In the present atmosphere, the Department requires some changes in the vigilance of all Head Offices/Sub Offices.

Our Union may please be called for this meeting for further discussions in this regard.

                 Thanking you, Sir.

                                                                                                                  Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                [R.K.Tandon, General Secretary]

Expected DA from Jan 2014 - Additional DA from Jan 2014 likely to hike by 11%

The one more and another additional Dearness allowance to Central Government employees and Pensioners from Jan 2014 will be announced in the middle of March 2014.

This is too early and predict the enhancement in percentage of Dearness allowance with effect from January 2014. The prediction and announcement of this hike make us cool, that the additional DA will jump to 101% and another word, an additional DA would be 11%.

But, still we have to wait for one more month, that the magic number of AICPIN would be increased by 3% and more..! From the existing level of the AICPIN is now 243, if it becomes 246 in end of December 2013, out prediction will be right…or otherwise certainly we would cross century in total Dearness allowance…

The table describes the prediction of additional DA from Jan 2014…

Month	Year	AICPIN (IW) BY 2001=100	Points Increasing in AICPIN	Total	Average	App. DA	DA
Jun	2013	231	3	2648	220.67	90.62	90
Jul	2013	235	4	2671	222.58	92.28
Aug	2013	237	2	2694	224.5	93.93
Sep	2013	238	1	2717	226.42	95.59
Oct	2013	241	3	2741	228.42	97.32
Nov	2013	243	2	2766	230.5	99.12
Dec	2013	Expected 246	3	2793	232.75	101.06	101
