Grant of arrear of stagnation increment, consequent to the implementation of 6th CPC — reg.

NFIR

No.1/I
Dated: 13.06.2012.

The Secretary,
Department of Personnel & Training,
Government of India,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub:- Grant of arrear of stagnation increment, consequent to the implementation of 6th CPC — reg.

   During the period when recommendations of 5th Central Pay Commission were in vogue i.e. prior to implementation of the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, there were employees, who had reached the maximum of the scale of pay and (5th CPC) were in receipt of stagnation increment, after an interval of two years.

Fixation of pay of such employees as per recommendations of 6th cpc was done based on pay drawn by them on 31.02.2005 and they were given increment from 1st July, 2006. The pay structure of 6th CPC was given effect from 01.01.2006. However, such of the stagnated employees were not extended the under noted benefits:-

  “Those employees should have been extended the benefit of their normal increment during Feb to June 2006 as if they were not stagnating during the same period. They may also be considered accordingly for re-fixation of pay and payment of consequent arrears.”

   The above demand of the employees assumes more significance because of the fact that such employees had been stagnating for longer durations in the same scale of pay without any promotion, and really deserved the financial benefits. Since number of such employees is not going to be too large, NFIR therefore, requests the DOPT to issue instructions for granting the benefit mentioned above. Action taken in the matter may be advised to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,

NFIR
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen.

No.11/43
                                       Dated: 12.06.2012

The Secretary,
Ministry of Finance,
(Department of Expenditure),
Government of India,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub: - Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme — Upward revision of rate of monthly subscription — reg.

Ref: - Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) OM No.7(1)EV/2008 dated 10th September, 2010.

   NFIR vide letter of even number dated l3th February, 2012 (copy enclosed) had drawn the kind attention of the Hon’ble Finance Minister to the fact that the rates of monthly subscription towards Group Insurance Scheme deducted from the monthly salaries of different categories of Central Government Employees were prescribed way back in the year 1990. Thereafter despite repeated correspondence for a long time with the Government of India to enhance the monthly deduction and upward revision of corresponding maturity value, there are no instructions from the Government. There have been recommendations of Vth & VIth Central Pay Commissions since 1990 but unfortunately no upward revision has been considered by the Government in this direction till date.

   NFIR, once again requests you to kindly see that the deduction of amount towards Employees Group Insurance Scheme is raised by 10 times with the corresponding increase of maturity value. Decision taken in the matter may be advised to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,

Payment of Provident Fund accumulation through Account Payee Cheque — Instructions regarding.

Employees Provident Fund Organisation
(Ministry of Labour & Employment. Govt. Of India)

No.: WSU/17(2)/2000

Dated: 15.06.2012.

To
All Regional P.F. Commissioners
In-charge of the ROs/SROs.

Subject: Payment of Provident Fund accumulation through Account Payee Cheque — Instructions regarding.

Sir,
   May kindly refer to the above subject. As per prevailing instructions, Provident Fund accumulations/withdrawal benefits are being credited only in the single bank account of the member.

   In order to rationalize and simplify the process of settlement and also to curb the return/rejection ratio of the received claims, it is decided that henceforth amount of Provident Fund accumulation/ withdrawal benefit may also be credited in the joint bank account of the member, if member opts for the same. However, this is to clarify that the joint bank account shall be acceptable for the purpose only in case when the bank account is maintained with his/her spouse.

   In view of above, it is directed that no claim should be returned/rejected due to the reason that member has preferred to claim his/her Provident Fund accumulations/withdrawal benefit in his/her joint saving bank account maintained with his/her spouse.

Yours faithfully,

sd/-
