   Prior to this meeting, Member/Pers, OFB convened a meeting to discuss the co-relation piece work on revised pay of 6th CPC in continuation of the earlier meeting held on 12.12.12. In the last meeting three Federations have strongly objected to any reduction in the job rate/Estimates on account of Co-relation in every pay commission.

   No conclusion could be arrived taking our views Member/Pers discussed with DGOF & Chairman and then convened this meeting with Federation leaders.

OFFICIAL SIDE PROPOSED THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS

   PROPOSAL – I:  Rs.5200/- PB-I will be the basic pay for SSK, SK, HS II, HS I and MCM without any reduction. This minimum of pay Rs.5200/- will be correlated irrespective of the job and skill.

   PROPOSAL II:  Rs.5200/- PB-1 will be co-related to SSK, SK to HSII & I and for MCM Rs.9300 will be co-related as minimum pay but 70% to 80% will be reduced in the earnings.

   The above two proposals were totally disagreed by the Federations and submitted the following proposals

   PROPOSAL-I:  Semiskilled is going to be abolished. Therefore, Skilled Grade PB-I Rs.5200+1900 GP = Rs7100/- should be fixed as Basic Pay for all the grades upto HIS and for MCM Rs.9300/- should be co-related for piece work without any reduction in Rates/Estimates
   In addition, annual movements and allowances should be paid as separate elements without linking to piece work.

   Further 3 ¼ hours between 44 ¾ and 48 Hrs in a week, piece workers should be paid OT Allowance on Time Wages at par with Day Workers.

   After prolonged deliberations, to contain the cash out go, the following proposal was mutually agreed subject to the approval of DGOF & Chairman in consultation of Finance division/OFB and will be forwarded to M of D

   For Skilled, HS Grd-II Rs.5200 will be taken as minimum of pay for calculating Hourly rate and HS Grd –I for all the correlated piece work

   For MCM Rs.9300/- will be taken as minimum of pay for calculating the Hourly rate.

   The Demand of payment of OT for 3 ¼ hours to Piece workers has to be paid for which a separate case will be submitted to Government of Indian, Ministry of Defence. This has to be approved by Defence Finance, DOP&T, Ministry of Defence. This has to be approved by Defence Finance, DOP&T, Ministry of Finance and finally cabinet has to approve for issue of final orders.

   To reach a Settlement it was unanimously agreed that there will be no reduction in rates/Estimates.

Yours Sincerely,

(R.SRINIVASAN)
General Secretary.

Pre 2006 Pensioners : Benefits of 6th CPC to Pre 2006 Pensioners - reg.

   Whether the Central Government employees, who retired before 2006 have been deprived off the benefits of Sixth Pay Commission as recommended by the Central Pay Commission..?

   The Minister of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Shri.V.Narayanasamy answered in the Parliament to the question above quoted on 19th December 2012 as follows...

   The orders for implementation of the recommendations of VIth Central Pay Commission for revision of pension of pre-2006 retirees were issued vide Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 1.9.2008. As per para 4.1 of this OM, the pension/family pension of existing pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners will be consolidated w.e.f. 1.1.2006 by adding together.

   (i) The existing pension/family pension

   (ii) Dearness pension, where applicable

   (iii) Dearness Relief @ 24% of basic pension/family pension plus dearness pension and

   (iv) Fitment weightage @40% of the existing pension/family pension. In Para 4.2 of this OM, it is stated that fixation will be subject to the provision that the revised pension, in no case, shall be lower than fifty per cent of the minimum of the pay in the pay band plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired. These orders also provided for immediate payment of arrears on revision of pension by the pension disbursing banks. Subsequently, on some doubts being raised in this regard, Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare issued an OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 3.10.2008 and 14.10.2008 inter alia clarifying that the pension calculated at fifty per cent of the minimum of pay in the pay band plus grade pay under Para 4.2 of OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) would be calculated at the minimum of the pay in the pay band (irrespective of the pre-revised scale of pay) plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale. The pension will be reduced pro rata, where the pensioner had less than the maximum required service for full pension as per rule 49 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 as applicable on 1.1.2006 and in no case it will be less than Rs.3,500/-p.m.

   Based on some petitions filed in the Central Administrative Tribunal by pre-2006 retirees, Hon’ble Tribunal held that the clarification issued vide OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 3.10.2008 and 14.10.2008 were not in conformity with the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission and the O.M. dated 1.9.2008. Central Administrative Tribunal directed to re-fix the pension of all pre-2006 retirees w.e.f. 1.1.2006, based on the resolution dated 29.08.2008 and in the light of the observations made in the judgement dated 1.11.2011 of the Hon’ble CAT.

   The Government has filed a Writ Petition in Delhi High Court challenging the judgement dated 1.11.2011 of the Hon’ble CAT. The matter is subjudice.
