Central Government should pay the dearness allowance of state government employees as well – Mamata Banerjee

Central Government should pay the dearness allowance of state government employees as well – Mamata Banerjee

W.B Government Employees would be able to avail themselves of cashless hospitalisation facility of up to Rs 1 lakh

Centre should come forward and pay the dearness allowance of state government employees as well, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee demanded today.

“Whenever the Centre announces DA, state government employees should be given the same on a par (with central government employees).

“They (Centre) give it (to central government employees) before elections. Will others (state government employees) suck their thumbs?” Banerjee asked.

“We want the Centre to pay the DA for (state government) employees,” Banerjee said. She added that paying DA cost Rs 6,900 crore to the state exchequer.

“How will we be able to afford it when the central government is taking all the money from us?” she asked.

Speaking at a convention of state government employees organised under the banner of the Paschimbanga Sarkari Karmachari Federation, Banerjee said the matter had also been taken up with the Finance Commission.

She reiterated her charge that the Union government had stopped funds for various central schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.

“There should be a tax for those who lie,” she said.

She also added that restructuring should be done for the interest on loans taken from the Centre by the previous Left Front government.

“Why should we pay for the faults of CPI(M)?” she asked. Criticising the Left-affiliated coordination committee of state government employees, Banerjee said the body should now be dismantled as it did no work.

“They have no work besides criticising others. They are shameless. They did no work for the last 34 years and now, too, are not working,” she said while adding that such employees were holding up various files.

She, meanwhile, announced that housing loans would be restarted for the welfare of employees. Rs 100 crore has been earmarked for the same under a scheme entitled ‘Akanksha’.

A health scheme has also been extended for another two years under which government employees would be able to avail themselves of cashless hospitalisation facility of up to Rs 1 lakh.

“We have added new hospitals to the list and also (expanded the disease cover),” Banerjee said.

As to contractual employees, she said none would lose jobs but, due

Subject:- Grant of family pension to the widowed/divorced daughter- clarification thereof.

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to this office letter No. 2/53/ 2009-1Pension dated 26.4.2010 vide which clarification for entitlement of a person to receive family pension on the date of death of the employee or pensioner was issued.

2. Sometime past the issue has been received in Finance Department for further clarification in r/o family pension to widowed/divorced daughter. After due consideration, in reference to Rule 14 of Haryana Civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2009 and earlier clarification issued vide No. 2/53/2009-1 Pension dated 26.4.2010, it is further clarified that the family pension will be payable to widowed/divorced daughters if she fulfils all the eligibility conditions at the time of death of the Government servant or his/her spouse, whichever is later provided she is still eligible for family pension when her turn comes. The family pension will continue only till she remarries or starts earning her livelihood equal to or more than the sum of minimum family pension and dearness relief thereon.

The position is iliustrated through an example. Shri X, a Pensioner, died in 1985. He was survived by his wife, Smt Y, a son Shri Z and a daughter, Kumal E the daughter being the younger. Kumari E married in 1989 and got widowed in 1995. Smt. Y died in 2000. Thereafter, Shri Z (son) was getting family pension being disabled and died in 2002. Thereafter, the family pension was stopped as. Kuniari E was not eligible for it at that time. She applied for family pension on the basis of Haryana Civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2009. Since she was a widow and had no independent source of Income at the time of death of her mother (family pensioner) and on the date her turn came, she may be granted family pension.

3. These instructions may please be brought to the notice of all concerned for necessary action.

Yours faithfully,
