VII Pay Commission : First CPC to Third CPC Pay Scales.

   Now all the central government employees federations are demanding the govt. to set up seventh pay commission soon. So far six pay Commissions have been set up till date from 1946 by Government of India to review and recommend wage structure for all the central government employees including postal, railway, defence civilian employees and armed forces. All the matters pertaining to the government servants like Pay and Allowances ,promotion policy, retirement benefits, service condition also been thoroughly reviewed by these Pay commissions after every ten years and they submit recommendations to the government for the approval.

   At the advent of First Pay Commission, there was 1934 th year pay Scales were remained in effect. The pay scales prescribed by first pay commission replaced the 1934 pay Scales.

First Pay Commission

   The first pay commission was constituted in 1946 and the government appointed Srinivasa Varadacharia as Chairman of this commission. The first pay commission was based upon the idea of “living wages” to the employees, this idea was taken from the Islington Commission and the commission observed that “the test formulated by the Islington Commission is only to be liberally interpreted to suit the conditions of the present day and to be qualified by the condition that in no case should be a man’s pay be less than a living wage.The minimum basic pay for Class IV staff has been raised from Rs. 10/- to Rs. 30/- and for Class III from Rs. 35/- to Rs. 60/- per month. The Commission had fixed Rs. 55/- as minimum wage (Rs. 30 plus Rs. 25 as Dearness Allowance). The recommendations were accepted and implemented in 1946.

The Second Pay Commission

   10 years after independence, the second pay commission was set up in August 1957. Shri Jaganath Das was appointed as Chairman of this Commission. The second pay commission finished its report within two years and submitted it to the Government. The recommendations of the second pay commission had a financial impact of Rs 396 million.The second pay commission reiterated the principle on which the salaries have to be determined. It stated that the pay structure and the working conditions of the government employee should be crafted in a way so as to ensure efficient functioning of the system by recruiting persons with a minimum qualification. The Commission revised the pay scales by merging 50% of the Dearness Allowance with basic Pay and it recommended Rs. 80 as the minimum remuneration(Basic Pay Rs. 70plus DA Rs.10/-) payable to a Government employee.

Third Pay Commission

   Shri. Raghubir Dayal was appointed as Chairman of the third pay commission. It was set up in April 1970 and gave its report in March 1973. The commission took almost 3 years to submit the report,. The main demand of employees for a need based minimum wage as per the norms of 15th Indian Labour Conference was accepted in principle even though Commission evolved its own concept of need based wage.

   The Third Pay Commission recommended Minimum remuneration of Rs. 185 per month.

   By taking into the consideration  of employee’s views Government modified some of the recommendations of the Commission and minimum wage was raised from Rs. 185 per month to Rs. 196/- per month.

   The pay scales of group ‘D’, ‘C’ and ‘B’ of Third Pay commission and IV pay commission given below. In the case of minimum basic pay of each scale of Pay in the two pay commissions recommended scales given below , it is to be kept in mind that 4th CPC pay was increased by 2.8 to 3.8 times from 3rd CPC.

Revision in documentary requirements in case of exits arising from Death of the subscriber under NPS-Swavalamban.

CIRCULAR

PENSION FUND REGULATORY AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

PFRDA/2013/3/PDEX/3 

                                            Date: 06/02/2013

To,
Dear Sir/Madam,

Subject:   Revision in documentary requirements in case of exits arising from Death of the subscriber under NPS-Swavalamban.

   Attention of all stakeholders is invited to the requirement of Death Certificate in original for claiming the benefits of the accumulated pension wealth in the account of a deceased subscriber by the nominee/legal heirs under National Pension System (NPS).

   Basing on representations from some of the stakeholders, the matter has been re-examined in light of the difficulties faced by subscribers in obtaining several sets of original death certificates.   

   It has been now decided that “a certified copy of the death certificate duly attested by the Aggregator/ POP (with the Aggregator/ POP having seen the original of death certificate and returning the same to the nominee/legal heirs) would be acceptable as sufficient proof of death of the subscriber for settlement of death claims arising from NPS-Swavalamban accounts only”.  The Aggregator/ POP in such cases have to specifically certify the copy of the death certificate with wording “ORIGINAL SEEN AND VERIFIED”.

   This is for the information of all concerned.

   The circular has also been placed on PFRDA website at  http://www.pfrda.org.in and CRA website at http://www.npscra.nsdl.co.in

Yours Faithfully

Modified ACP Scheme (MACPS) for Railway employees - clarification-regarding.

RBE No.08/2013
New Delhi, dated 31/01/2013

(As per mailing list)

Subject :- Modified ACP Scheme (MACPS) for Railway employees - clarification-regarding.

   Reference is invited to the Board’s letter of even number dated 10-06-2009 regarding the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) to Railway employees. Pursuant to the discussions in the meeting of National Advisory Committee held on 17-07-12 and subsequent meeting on 27-07-2012 held with the Staff Side and in continuation to clarifications issued vide Board’s letter of even number dated 28-12-2010, it is further clarified as under:-

2 (i). Financial upgradation under MACPS in the case of staff who joined another unit/organization on request.

   Railway Board’s letter of even number dated 28-12-2010 provides that in case of transfer ‘including unilateral transfer on request’, regular service rendered in previous organization/office shall be counted along with the regular service in the new organization/office for the purpose of getting financial upgradations under the MACP Scheme. However, financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme shall be allowed in the immediate next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of revised Pay Bands as given in Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. It is now further clarified that wherever an official, in accordance with terms and conditions of transfer on own volition to a Lower post, is reverted to the lower Post/Grade from the promoted Post/Grade before being relieved for the new organization/office, such past promotion in the previous organization/office will be ignored for the purpose of MACP Scheme in the new organization/office. In respect of those cases where benefit of pay protection have been allowed at the time of unilateral transfer to other organization/unit and thus the employee had carried the financial benefit of promotion, the promotion earned in previous organization has to be reckoned for the purpose of MACP Scheme.

2. (ii) Benchmark for MACP Scheme:

   Para 17 of Annexure-1 of Railway Board’s letter dt. 10-06-09 provide that the financial upgradation would be on Non-functional basis subject to fitness, in the hierarchy of grade pay within the PB-1. Thereafter for upgradation under the MACPS, the benchmark of ‘Good’ would be applicable till the grade pay of ` 6600/- in PB-3. The benchmark will be ‘Very Good’ for financial upgradation to the grade pay of ` 7600 and above. Railway Board’s letter of even number dated 28-12-2010 provides that where the financial upgradation under MACPS also happens to be in the promotional grade and benchmark for promotion is lower than the benchmark for granting the benefit under MACPS as mentioned in para-17 ibid, the benchmark for promotion shall apply to MACP also. It is now further clarified that wherever promotions are given on non-selection basis (i.e. on seniority-cum-fitness basis), the prescribed benchmark as mentioned in para-17 of Annexure-I to Board’s letter dated 10-06-2009 shall not apply for the purpose of grant of financial upgradation under MACP Scheme.

   3. The instructions issued on MACP Scheme vide Board’s letter of even number dated 10-06-2009 stands modified to the above extent.

   4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

   5. Hindi version is enclosed.

Subject: - Allotment of General Pool residential accommodation (C-I houses to Secretary/Secretary equivalent officers and Chairpersons / Members of Commissions / Tribunals etc.

   Attention is invited to this Directorate’s O.M. of even number dated 11.09.2007 modified vide OM dated 08.10.2010 and 29.12.2011 wherein decision to allot C-I houses among Secretaries, Secretary equivalent officers and Chairpersons/Members of Commissions/Tribunals in the ratio of 2:1:1 and to prepare three waiting Lists i.e. List-A, List-B and List-C was communicated. Further it was also decided vide OM dated 11.05.2011 that no HAG officer waiting in list A or list B will be allotted C-I house if an Apex Grade officer is waiting in the other list. Thus, HAG officers will be allotted C.I houses only after meeting the claim of the Secretary/Secretary equivalent officers irrespective of availability of units as per the above ratio.

   Considering the improved availability of houses in higher categories after redevelopment of New Moti Bagh Complex, the issue has been re-examined in the Ministry and it has been decided that allotment of C-I houses will now be made in the ratio of 1:1:1 among Secretary/Secretary equivalent officers and Chairmen/Members of eligible Commissions etc. instead of the existing ratio of 2:1:1.

Leveraging Aadhaar for improving the services of EPFO — regarding.

Subject:- Leveraging Aadhaar for improving the services of EPFO — regarding.

Sir,
     This is in reference to Head Office letter No. RI/UID/2010/30051 dated 21.01.2013 on the subject cited above.

   The issue of expeditious enrolment of the EPF members was discussed with UIDAI Officials. It has emerged that UIDAI through its registrars has been organising enrolment camps in 18 states only. Register General of India (RGI) has been collecting data in respect of the remaining states through National Population Register (NPR). While the data collected by RGI is also being processed for issue of Aadhaar numbers by UIDAI, the methodology used by RG1 for setting up enrolment camps is different i.e. it is being done on the basis of house-to-house data collected by enumerators during Census Operations 2011, unlike UIDAI camps, where any resident, irrespective of the place of residence, can get himself enrolled for Aadhaar number. Thus enrolment may take considerable time.

   In view of the discussions held with UIDAI officials and the time required in the process of obtaining Aadhaar numbers, it may not be possible to obtain Aadhaar number/ Aadhaar Enrolment number by EPF members by 1st March, 2013. Therefore, it has been decided to not to make Aadhaar Number/Enrolment number mandatory for EPF members from 1st March, 2013. However, the field offices would make maximum efforts to obtain the available Aadhaar numbers of the EPF members.

   Further your attention is invited to Head Office letter no. MIS-II/ISO- 9001/2011-12/24686 dated 9th November 2012 on implementation of ISO 9001 Certification for the field offices which is a mandatory success indicator under the Results Framework Document (RFD). The updation of members' master in database is one of the standards required for the purpose. In view of the benefits that would accrue both to the EPF members as Well as EPFO, it has now been decided to collect the core banking account number of all the contributing members as indicated in ECR.

   The Regional offices and Sub-Regional offices should make an all-out effort to collect the core banking account numbers in respect of all the contributing members as indicated in ECR. Compliance of instructions may kindly be ensured in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

Launching of Web Based software solution for Cadre Management of CSS.

IMMEDIATE

No. 21/11/2010-CS.I (U)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pension
Department of Personnel & Training

2nd Floor, Lok Nayak Bhawan,
Khan Market, New Delhi

Dated : 4th February 2013

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Launching of Web Based software solution for Cadre Management of CSS

   The undersigned is to refer to this Department’s d.o. letter of even number dated 15th June 2012 and subsequent communications on the subject mentioned above. CS Division, Department of Personnel & Training is the cadre controlling authority for the three Central Secretariat Services viz. Central Secretariat Service (CSS),Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS) and Central Secretariat Clerical Service (CSCS). The cadre management functions of these services are being carried out through paper communications. It involves manual updatation of data by keeping track of each and every cadre management activity which is found to be a cumbersome task and unreliable as many of the orders issued by Ministries/Departments for posting/ transfer/ relieving on deputation / disciplinary proceedings are not received by CS Division. Absence of accurate, updated information leads to delay in carrying out cadre management activities and avoidable reworking.

   2. To obviate various difficulties presently being faced in the cadre management activities, this Department has undertaken the task of development of a web based cadre management system for the three Central Secretariat Services. The software has since been developed and is being tested at CS Division level.

   3. The software has also been hosted in a test server at URL http://10.21.145.125 The system is intended for the following users:

   (i) CS Division, DoPT and AVD.I Division, DoPT - being cadre controlling authority and disciplinary authority for CSS Officers. CS Division will function as the administrator of the software.

   (ii) Ministries/ Departments - Nodal officers can view the data in respect of officers under their administrative control and forward applications of officers for cadre clearance/VRS. Further, all the cadre management activities such as monitoring of submission of immovable property returns and APAR of officers under their administrative control, relieving and joining orders of officers, training, encadrement proposals, seeking vigilance clearance from AVD.I Division and from their own vigilance Division can be undertaken through the system.

   (iii) Individual CSS Officers They can view their data and make requests for cadre clearance for deputation through on-line system. They can also file annual Immovable Property Return, lodge grievances; view orders related to them and file applications for voluntary retirement. Officers can login to the system with the userid which is a combination of six digit date of birth followed by first four letters of their name i.e.: ddmmyyabcd. Officers may contact the nodal officers concerned for password for login to the system. They may change the password at their discretion.

   4. Incomplete Data Ministries/ Departments may appreciate that the software can be fully operationalised for cadre management activities only if the complete and accurate data in respect of all the CSS Officers are available in the system. However, despite twelve reminders in the past six months, data in respect of about 7300 CSS Officers have only been received till date. Data in respect of about 3000 employees are yet to be received. Data in respect of few of the officers is also not complete. It may be appreciated that in the absence of complete and accurate data, it is not possible to fully utilize the software for all cadre management activities envisaged for its development.

   5. Correctness of Data Ministries/ Departments and individual CSS officers should, therefore, immediately visit the website to check if their complete and updated data is available in the system. All CSS Officers should take a print out of their data and certify that the same is complete and correct in all respects. A copy of the data sheet duly certified for its correctness both by the individual officer and the Ministry/ Department concerned should be forwarded to CS.I Division of this Department for records. Further, if the data of any officer is not available in the system, the same should be forwarded in the MS Access sheet to this Department without any delay, considering the fact that sufficient time has already been given and the delay reflects very poorly on the officer and the Ministry/ Department concerned. Officers concerned are also informed if their complete and accurate data is not available in the system any request for cadre clearance for deputation, training etc. will not be considered. Further, their names may also get excluded from the zone of promotion. Accordingly, all officers in their own interest are advised to ensure that their data complete in all respects is available in the system. Once complete data is available in the system, this Department will issue posting, transfer and promotion orders only through the system. Similarly, thereafter, the Ministries/ Departments will issue orders for relieving/ joining, appointment on promotion etc. only through the system.

   6. Nodal Officers The details of nodal officers as intimated by Ministries/ Departments are at Annexure. The same may please be confirmed so that userid and password can be e-mailed to them. Ministries/ Departments may nominate two-three nodal officers viz, for Administration issues and vigilance related matters.

   7. To start with w.e.f. 1.3.2013, CS.I Division, DoPT will entertain requests for cadre clearance for deputation in respect of US and above officers only through the system. Once complete/accurate data in respect of all CSS officers is available, it will be extended to other cadre management activities.

   8. Improvements if any required in the software may please be brought to the notice of this Department urgently for consideration. This Department will also shortly organize workshops to nodal officers to clear doubts about the web based cadre management system. Further, a detailed manual will also be brought out shortly for guidance.

Govt. to raise income tax exemption limit to Rs 3 lakh in revised DTC.

   The government will come up with a modified Direct Taxes Code (DTC) Bill after incorporating the suggestions of the Standing Committee on Finance, which among things had suggested raising annual income tax exemption limit to Rs 3 lakh.

   “Will come out with modified DTC (Bill) in response to Standing Committee suggestions,” said Advisor to the Finance Minister Parthasarathi Shome at a FICCI event here.

   He said the Finance Ministry is looking at the Bill and working on tax structures as suggested by the Parliamentary committee.

   The Parliamentary panel headed by senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha in its report (March 2012) had suggested raising the annual income exemption tax limit to Rs 3 lakh as against Rs 2 lakh proposed in the original DTC Bill. Current tax exemption limit is Rs 1.8 lakh.

   It has also suggested that subsequent tax slabs be adjusted accordingly to provide relief to people reeling under the impact of inflation. The DTC will eventually replace the over five decades old Income Tax Act.

   “We are trying to see what could be the best in terms of transparency so that issues that are hurting industry could be covered adequately,” Shome said.

   He further said the Finance Ministry is also addressing the issue of expenditure control and that remains a major challenge.

   “We are looking into expenditure efficiency. We should do more in terms of efficiency. Issues on expenditure side is being addressed. Expenditure control is a major challenge and is being addressed by the Finance Minister,” he said.

   The DTC Bill, tabled in August 2010, was referred to the Standing Committee for scrutiny.

   Shome also said there has been some improvement on the government’s non-plan expenditure side since the time of financial crisis in 2008.

   Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had in November 2012 announced a fiscal consolidation road map wherein he plans to restrict fiscal deficit at 5.3 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal and bring it down to 3 per cent by 2016-17.

   Shome further said that the government is showing its intention to bring in clarity in tax laws and reforms in tax administration.

   “We have to increasingly do so (tax reforms). That is going to be a vehicle and we won’t put it on back burner,” Shome said.

   He also said the Ministry has asked National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) to calculate the impact of the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the GDP.
