MAGNIFICENT STRIKE BY CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND WORK

Manishinath Bhawan, A/2/95 Rajouri Garden

New Delhi. 110 027

Date: 28th February 2012

PRESS STATEMENT

The General Strike of Indian working class for which the call was given by the Central Trade Unions and endorsed by all the Federations and the Central and State Govt. Employees elicited the largest participation today. The increased participation of workers in the industrial action was indicative of the growing realization of the need to struggle against the present economic policies of the Govt. of India.

The Central Govt. employees throughout the country responded to the call admirably in as much as the strike was almost total in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur and about 80% in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and partial in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Orissa and Gujarat.

The strike was no doubt an impressive reflection of the total discontent of the employees over the various policy decisions like scrapping of the existing pension scheme, outsourcing, contractorisation and privatisation which have threatened the job security. The increasing prices of essential commodities had added to the agony and despite periodical wage increase through the system of Dearness Compensation, the employees found it difficult to make the ends meet with the existing emoluments.

The Confederation National Secretariat while congratulating the Central Govt. Employees in general for the total co-operation in making the strike action a grand success, particularly place on record the exemplary and magnificent achievement of Income Tax Employees Federation and All India Central Ground Water Board Employees Association, who could make cent percent of their members to participate in the strike.

We once again call upon the affiliates to go ahead with the preparation of the next strike action in pursuance of the 14-point Charter of Demands which are of exclusive concern to Central Government Employees.

Secretary,

Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation,

Sardar Patel Bhawan,

New Delhi-110001

Sub: Request for a personal audience with the Secretary to apprise him of the most serious problems faced by the Administrative Staff in NSSO Offices.

Sir,

It is humbly brought to the notice of your goodself that the Administrative Staff who have even rendered 35 years or more valuable service in NSSO Offices are retiring with tears on the post of Assistants, who discharge the duties of Administrative Officer without getting equal pay. The administration of NSSO, especially the FOD is doing nothing seriously to address this problem. Proposal of Cadre restructuring is pending in the FOD/Department for the last one & half years. Vacancies of Administrative Staff in FOD are filled with consultants by skipping all rules.

It is also humbly submitted that this Association has been continuously requesting the NSSO/Ministry for the restructuring of the Administrative Staff of the NSSO Offices since long. As a consequence of the continuous efforts of this Association, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation has forwarded our letter dated 14/06/2010 regarding the issue, to all Divisions of NSSO, vide MoS&PI letter No B-12011/1/2010-Ad.III dated 08/07/2010 seeking their comments. In response to this, Data Processing Division and SDRD have sent the proposal containing the recommendation of renaming of office Superintendent and upgradation of grade pay to Rs. 4800/ vide letter No. A-13012/4/2009-CSW dated 23.07.2010 and as a result now the proposal is under consideration of the Finance Ministry.

Unfortunately, NSSO (FOD) could send the proposal only in the month of February 2011 i.e. after a lapse of 7 long months that too after continuous efforts of our Association on the matter. It is learnt that Ministry is yet to finalize the proposal and forward it to DoPT with its recommendations for consideration.

Consequent to the aforesaid lapses the officials who have been promoted to the post of Office Superintendent in the FOD have been reverted to the posts of Assistant vide FOD letter No.A-12026/1/2004-E-III/Vol.I dated 21/29-12/2010. The Non Gazetted Assistants with 4200 grade pay are compelled to discharge the duties of Administrative Officer with 4800 grade pay in the offices of NSSO (FOD) and retire on the post itself. It is to be reiterated that Gazetted Office Superintendents with 4200 grade pay have been discharging the duties of the highly responsible Gazetted post of Administrative Officers in the FOD Offices so far and no action was taken by the NSSO (FOD) Administration, till the Ministry sought comments on the issue. It is evident that unlike in any other Departments, the situation of down gradation of the post of Assistant is warranted because of the reason that the pay scale granted to the Office Superintendents so far was not in conformity with the status and responsibility held them.

In the meantime, FOD vide letter No. A-12034/7/2011-E.III (Vol. I) dated 10/01/2012 asked the Regional Offices to appoint consultants against the vacant posts of LDC, UDC, Stenographer and Assistants even without the direction of the promotion of eligible LDC & UDCs to the post of UDC & Assistants respectively. Interestingly, retired Field Superintending Officers, who occasionally discharge the duties of disbursing officers in addition to their field responsibilities in a few Regions in the absence of Gazetted Office Superintendents, are given preference to get appointed as consultants in the Administrative Offices of the RO. It appears that the FOD is not willing to solve the real problem faced by the Ministerial Staff in Regional Offices where the basic work of data collection is done.

This Association, therefore, proposes to send a delegation for a personal audience with you to apprise you of the most serious problems faced by the Administrative Staff of NSSO Offices. We shall be grateful for a personal audience with you at the earliest.

An early reply is requested please.

Yours faithfully

Encl: As above

DISCUSSION IN THE JCM NATIONAL ANOMALY COMMITTEE MEETING

2012-01-08T09:36:00.000-08:00

Conf/01/2012 Dated: 07.01.2012

Dear Comrades

A brief on the outcome of the meeting of the National Anomaly Committee held on 5^th January 2012 is given below.

With greetings

Yours fraternally

KKN Kutty

Secretary General

BRIEF ON THE DISCUSSIONS HELD IN

ANOMALY COMMITTEE MEETING

The IV meeting of the National Anomaly Committee was held on 5.1.2012. The meeting was chaired by Shri Mishra Secretary DOP&T.

The Chairman welcomed all members of Official and Staff Side and expressed New Year Greetings while making his introductory remarks.

The Leader Staff Side also welcomed the Chairman and gave new year's Greetings. The following issues were raised by him and by other Staff Side Members:-

1. Meeting of the National Council and other forums should be

convened as often as possible and at least once in four months.

2. The issue relating to increment should be resolved in this meeting.

3. Issues relating to MACP may be allowed to be settled departmentally.

4. The 2 (actually 11) items which have not as yet been included in the agenda should be included and discussed by arranging another meeting.

5. The meeting of the National Council which has not met for about 2 years may soon be convened.

6. Issues relating to Loco Drivers (not getting any benefit of MACP) should be discussed and resolved on priority basis.

7. Several decisions taken in the Railway Departmental Anomaly Committee have been referred to Department of Expenditure long time back, but these have not been disposed of. This may be expedited.

The following agenda items were then discussed on the basis of Status Note given by the Official Side:-

Items No. 1 to 4 & 5 (iii) - Anomaly in fixation of pay band in case of merger of pay scales.

The Staff side reiterated that since the pre-revised scales 5000-8000 [S9]; 5500-9000 [S10]; 6500-9500[S11]; and 6500-10500[S12] were merged and all are given the benefit of placement in the new Grade Pay 4200 equivalent to pre-revised 6500-10500 scale, the starting of the Pay Band 2 cannot be computed on the minimum of the erstwhile S9 Scale of Pay viz., Rs.5000/-. In fact the commencement point of the Pay Band 2 should be at Rs.12090/- based on the minimum of S12 scale [6500X1.86 = 12090] instead of Rs.9300/- computed by multiplying Rs.5000/- by 1.86.

The Official Side however insisted that what has been recommended by the Commission is correct in terms of the above principle stated by the Commission; This was not acceptable to the Staff Side.

The official side then stated that this item may be further discussed in the next meeting.

Item No 5 (i) and 34 & 35 - Reopening of the option for fixation of pay on promotion.

The Staff Side pointed out that the orders reopening the option up to 31.12.2010 was received in the lowest formations late & therefore all persons could not exercise the reopening option and therefore it should be extended up to 31.12.12. Defense Staff Side also raised the issue of not allowing this option to those who have been promoted to Master Craftsman upgraded post as because final orders have been issued late.

The official side agreed to refer these matters to DOPT, which would be considered and decided.

Item No. 5 (iii) - Special Allowance & Qualifying Pay.

The Staff Side pointed out that special qualifying pay may have been treated as allowance but it is treated as pay for purpose of fixation of pay on promotion to higher post. The result is that senior employees who have been promoted during the period 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 get the benefit of pre-revised qualification pay when they have been promoted whereas the junior employees promoted on or after 1.9.2008 have been granted the benefit of doubled qualification pay and therefore the seniors are getting fixed at lower stage.

The official Side agreed to look into this matter

Item No.5 (iv) - Anomaly in fixation of pay between Direct Recruits & Promotees.

The Staff Side pointed out that in terms of FR 22 no person who is promoted should be fixed below the minimum of the Pay Scale of the higher post and as the system of Pay Bands have been introduced clubbing several posts, the Commission has devised a formula for fixing the entry pay (which is always the minimum) for fresh recruits. That being the case all promotes have to be fixed not below the said minimum i.e. the entry pay of the fresh recruit for each grade pay.

Official side insisted that what they have ordered i.e. stepping up the pay of promotes to the post subject to certain conditions is more than enough and if there are certain difficulties, these may be referred to be considered.

The Staff Side however insisted that all the conditionalities may be withdrawn and all Promotees may be fixed at the entry pay of that post for the direct recruitee if there is a quota for direct recruitment in that post irrespective of any new recruitee has joined the post or not.

The official side stated that the matter may be discussed in the next meeting.

Item No (v) - Date of Next Increment.

The Staff Side urged for grant of one increment in pre revised pay scale on 1.1.2006 as one time measure in respect of all those whose next increment would be between 1.2.2006 to 30.6.2006 and then re-fixing them in the revised pay band and to grant next increment on 1.7.2006. This is only as a one-time measure and we would not demand similar treatment in respect of others.

The official side then agreed to the above formulation.

Item No 5 (vii) - Temporary Status casual labourers.

The Staff Side pointed out that as per the scheme of Temporary Status, these employees have been granted the pre-revised minimum of Rs.2550-3200 applicable to the lowest post with the benefit of annual increment etc. Therefore so far as pay scale are concerned they are being treated as regular employees. They have to be granted the Grade Pay of Rs.1800 and fixed at Rs.7000 with effect from 1.1.2006 if they are already matriculates and if not they should be given the training and then fixed at Rs.7000 with grade pay of Rs.1800 w.e.f. 1.1.2006.

The official side noted this demand and assured consideration.

Item No.11 - Grant of Revised Allowance w.e.f. 1.1.2006.

After discussion it was indicated that the issue may be discussed further in the next meeting before recording a disagreement if necessary.

Item No 12& 13 - Transport Allowance.

The Staff Side pointed out that the calculations desired by the official side are already available in item no. 13. It has been pointed out that Transport Allowance at the rate of Rs. 3200 granted to those in PB-3 of grade pay Rs.5400 and above is 2.9 times of their pre-revised TA+CCA which was Rs.1100. The Transport Allowance in respect of Grade Pay of Rs.4600 & 4200 has been revised to Rs.1600 which is only 2.28 times of the pre-revised TA+CCA amounting to Rs.700/-.

The demand was that the raise granted in respect of grade pay of Rs.4600 & 4200 should also be 2.9.times of Rs.700 which would work out to Rs.2030.

The official side stated that this is a new demand and cannot be treated as anomaly.

The Staff Side then stated that this item would be included in the agenda of the National Council

Item No.14 - Revision of the existing allowance which are to be replaced by new schemes.

In the last meeting it was stated that if within six months the new schemes are not finalized and introduced, the rates of these allowance like risk Allowance & Patient Care Allowance would be doubled.

The official side agreed to take a decision in this matter within a month's time i.e. latest by 5.2.2012.

Item No.15, 16, 17 - Parity in pension.

In Para 5.1.47, the VI CPC has stated that in order to maintain the existing modified parity between present and future retirees it will be necessary to allow same fitment benefit as is being recommended for existing employees.

Having so recognised the maintenance of parity between the present and future retirees, the Commission has not extended the following liberalization benefits.

Full pension after completion of 10/20 years of qualifying service

- Last pay drawn for determination of pension if it is more advantageous than the average emoluments and

- 50% of Grade Pay as against 40% of pre-revised basic pension

Benefit of these liberalisations may be extended to present pensioners w.e.f. 1.1.2006 (we do not want arrears) so that parity between present and future retirees is ensured as desired by the VI CPC.

The official side suggested that the matter may be discussed in the next meeting and disagreement if necessary will then be recorded.

The Staff Side also pointed out the latest judgment of full bench of Principal Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal according to which the clarificatory orders issued by Department of Pension dated 30^th October 2008 for determining the modified parity has been quashed and Government has been directed to grant 50% /30% of sum of minimum pay in the pay band and grade pay of the corresponding pay scale of the post from which the employee had retired and re-fix the pension / family pension with effect from 1.1.2006 and pay arrears.

The official side stated that the Judgment is being considered and decision would be soon taken.

Item No. 20 - Daily Allowance on Tour.

The Staff Side insisted that rates of daily allowance may be doubled if the present system of reimbursement on the basis of actual expenditure on conveyance, boarding and lodging etc. are not suitable / practicable in the case of employees who go on tour to places where there are no such hotels / restaurants and the Auto drivers do not issue the receipts.

They also pointed out that when all allowances have been doubled and the Railway has also already doubled the rate of daily allowance on tour, why the Government should insist that DA should be at the pre-revised rates which are quite inadequate to meet the expenses on conveyance, boarding and lodging.

The matter was deferred to be discussed in the next meeting.

tem No. 24, 25, 26 - Commutation of pension.

The Staff Side demand is that option of Commutation had been given when a person retires. The commutation was allowed in terms of pension then fixed on the basis of pre-revised pay etc on the day following the date of retirement and in terms of the Table then in force.

If as a result of revision of pay and consequent revision of pension, additional amount of commutation arose the table which was applicable on date of retirement will have to be operated.

The New Table which has come in to force on or after 1.9.2008 cannot be made applicable in determination of additional commutation value which Table was not in existence on date of retirement.

The official side deferred this item for next meeting and to consider recording of disagreement if need be only in that meeting.

Item No. 28 - Grant of Grade Pay of Rs. 5400 in PB-2 for Asstt. Accounts/Audit Officer.

In the last meeting it was agreed that this and other connected issues would be discussed separately outside this forum by the Jt. Secretary (Estt.) & Jt. Secretary (Pers) with the Staff Side.

Though a detailed note has been sent to the above officers, no meeting has been fixed to discuss the note.

It was stated that a meeting would soon be fixed.

As there was no time, it was decided that next meeting of the National Anomaly Committee may be fixed soon and before the Budget session of Parliament commences.

LDC/UDC ISSUE WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE NEXT MEETING OF ANOMALY COMMITTEE

Sub: Grant of Financial upgradation in the promotion hierarchy instead of grade pay hierarchy under the

MACP.

Sir,

It is my humble submission that I joined as LDC in the Government of India, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, NSSO (FOD), Bhopal in 1989. In spite of the fact that an LDC qualifies for promotion to the post of UDC after completion of 8 years service, I could get promotion to the post of UDC only after 15 years due to heavy stagnation. The Assured Career Progression Scheme introduced by the Government in the year 1998, only partially met the monetary part as I was granted 1st financial upgradation under ACPS to the scale 4000-6000. As a result of implementation of MACPS w.e.f. 1.9.2008, I could get the next financial upgradation with Grade Pay of Rs. 2800 only. However, had the previous Assured Career Progression Scheme been continued, I could have been the beneficiary of 2nd financial upgradation with the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 on completion of 24 years. At present, I have been entrusted/allotted with the duties which are normally handled by an Assistant or an official at a still higher cadre. Even though, I have not been promoted to the next higher post, the duties and responsibilities assigned to that higher post are being allocated to me on a regular and continuous basis. Thus, the denial Financial Upgradation in the promotional hierarchy to me for the reason that I have not been promoted to the higher post is not justified.

It is therefore requested that the financial upgradation under MACPS may be granted to me on the promotional hierarchy instead of grade pay hierarchy. Otherwise I may be allowed the option to choose ACPS or MACPS whichever is beneficial to me.

I request your early favorable action on the subject please.

Yours faithfully

Sub: Grant of Financial upgradation in the promotion hierarchy instead of grade pay hierarchy under the
MACP.
Sir,

It is my humble submission that I joined as LDC in the Government of India, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, NSSO (FOD), Bhopal in October 1999. In spite of the fact that an LDC qualifies for promotion to the post of UDC after completion of 8 years service, I could not get promotion as UDC till date due to heavy stagnation. Meanwhile I was granted first financial upgradation with hierarchical grade pay of Rs. 2000 under Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme introduced by the Government w.e.f. 1.9.2008 which results in a meager monetary benefit of Rs. 100 only. However, had the previous Assured Career Progression Scheme been continued, I could have been the beneficiary of 1st financial upgradation with the Grade Pay of Rs. 2400 on completion of 12 years.

At present, I have been entrusted/allotted with the duties which are normally handled by a UDC or an official at a still higher cadre. Even though, I have not been promoted to the next higher post, the duties and responsibilities assigned to that higher post are being allocated to me on a regular and continuous basis. Moreover I am doing work in computer which is normally handled by an EDP in Government of India Offices where the EDP has been placed in a higher grade pay whereas I get the benefit of Rs. 100/- only for my hard work for more than 10 years. In the light of the above, the denial Financial Upgradation in the promotion hierarchy to me for the reason that I have not been promoted to the higher post is not justified.

In order to remove this anomalous situation, it is my fervent appeal to you to issue necessary instructions to grant grade pay of the promotional post in the hierarchy instead of grade pay hierarchy. Otherwise I may be allowed the option to choose ACPS or MACPS whichever is beneficial to me.

I request you an early favorable action on the subject please.

Yours faithfully

Sub: Filling up of the vacant posts of LDC by educationally qualified MTS.

Sir,

It is to inform you that the General Body meeting of this Association held at Mumbai on 15-16 September 2011 discussed and decided an item demanding filling up of the vacant posts of LDC in the FOD Offices by promotion of educationally qualified MTS. The meeting observed that in several of the Offices of the FOD educationally qualified MTS have been engaged in the administrative work against the vacant post of LDC. In the Sub Regional Offices of FOD MTS do the entire work related to administration. Majority of these MTS have got proficiency in computer operations as well.

It is to be noted that qualified MTS who are declared surplus and who do not have even meager average knowledge of administrative work are sponsored against regular vacancy of LDC in Central Government Offices. Whereas the educationally qualified MTS of the FOD offices are already working in the administrative section and knows the routine administrative matters as well. It is therefore requested that educationally qualified MTS may be promoted against the vacancies of LDC as a onetime measure.

An early action on the matter is requested please.

Yours faithfully

Sub: Promotion of UDC to the post of Assistant on 18 years Combined Seniority of LDC & UDC.

Sir,

This is in continuation of this Association letter of even number dated 12/07/2010 wherein it was requested to consider promotion to the post of Assistant on the combined seniority of LDC & UDC. But we have not received any information on the progress of the action taken so far and such the matter was discussed in the General Body Meeting of the Association, held at Mumbai on 15-16 September 2011.

While discussing the matter the delegates pointed out that as per DoPT manual LDCs have to do the work of dispatch/diary, copying, typing and other minor administrative work only. Whereas in NSSO offices especially the Regional Offices of FOD major subjects, viz. Establishment, Accounts, Store, TA/Medical, Budget, MPER, Reconciliation, NPS Pension maintenance, Pension cases, Pay Fixation etc. are rotated among LDCs and UDCs through periodical work allocation. Moreover, on an average it takes 15-16 years for an LDC to get promotion to the post of UDC in NSSO Offices especially in FOD Regions whereas DoPT provides only 8 years of qualifying service for promotion to the post of UDC. Thus considering the time period taken and also the quality work/section allocated to the LDCs from the date of their joining as LDC in the FOD Offices, it is requested that promotion to the post of Assistant may be made on combined service put in the post of the LDC & UDC together and amendments in the recruitment rule of the Assistant may be made accordingly.

Till the amendment of recruitment rule is finalized all vacancies of the Assistant may be filled by the UDCs on ad-hoc basis.

An early action on the matter is requested please.

Yours faithfully

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: - Revision of PPOs of pre—2006 family pensioners — regarding.

The undersigned is directed to refer to Secretary (Pension)'s d.o. letter No.42/68/2009-P&PW(G), dated the 25th May, 2011 and 8th June, 2011 concerning revision of Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) in respect of pre-2006 Pensioners consequent to implementation of 6th CPC recommendations.

2. It is heartening to learn from replied received the Ministries/ Departments that they are responsive to the needs of Pensioners/Family Pensioners. In the mean while, Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO) has issued an advertisement, which has been published in the Newspapers on 3rd September, 2011, requesting pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners to provide prescribed information to the Head of the Department/Office concerned for issue of revised PPOs. In another advertisement published on 15th and l6th September, CPAO has circulated its toll-free telephone number 1800-11-77-88 for registration of grievances. Therefore, all the Ministries/ Departments are requested to seize the opportunity and revise the pre-2006 PPOs at the earliest possible.

3. It has come to the notice of this Department that the family pensioners are a sufferer's lot as the Banks have not revised the family pension in most of the cases and it is being paid either at the pre-revised rates or at the minimum rate of Rs.3500/- per month. Therefore, all Ministries/Departments and PAOs are requested to take up the matter of revision of family pension as first priority.

“OCCUPY WALL STREET”

“Occupy Wall Street” has become now a very important slogan of American working class. For the last few weeks workers are being assembled at Wall Street New York (America) and protesting the globalization policies which have caused tremendous unemployment, soaring inflation mainly in the food items and rampant corruption. Wall Street is the place where office of world’s No. 1 Stock Market New York Stock Exchange is situated. Besides this there are offices of World’s most important Banks and financial Corporations and Multinational Companies. This is the perception of American general public that this is the place of greed, gambling, cheating and euphemism of profit making and exploitation of working class and general people through which the economic policies of America are decided and US Government dances on its finger tip. The palpable anger of the people against the deprivations imposed upon them since the financial meltdown of the “Big Five” (Multinational giant financial corporations) on Wall Street in New York in 2008 have now reached on unprecedented level of unemployment and declining livelihood standards. The rallying point was focus against corporate greed and loot as the genesis of their travails is like the severe pain to a woman at the time of giving birth to a child. This anti Wall Street protests against globalization policies has spread over 1500 cities word over. This is the self generated agitation among the people who are badly affected by this capitalist system. The myth that the state under capitalism is a benign natural entity has been shattered. True to its character, the capitalist state intervened to bail out these very financial giants who in the first place caused the current crisis.

To show their disbelief in banking system, hundreds of people have withdrawn their money and closed the accounts as a symbolic protest.

This type of protest has spread in the cities like London, Rome, Athens and other cities of Europe and Asia. Now this trend of profit making by giant financial corporate sector has become a symbol of hate.

This self generated agitation of U.S. people can be compared with anti corruption movement of Anna Hazare in our country, India. As the people of India think that the wide spread corruption in all walks of life is the root cause of miserable condition of working class and general public in India (even though there are other burning issues like price rise, unemployment etc also as a fall out of capitalist globalization policies). The anti Wall Street protesters rightly believe that main reason of all evils of economic system exists in capitalist system operated from Wall Street.

Now the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ agitation has become international. The policy makers in every country should think very seriously to put check on this financial, banking and share market oriented globalization policies and try to search alternative path for the welfare of working class and people of not only in USA and Europe but for whole World where a common man can earn his livelihood and can live his life peacefully getting rid of miserable condition fulfilling the minimum requirements of life.

As the living legend of socialist world Comrade Fidel Castro of Cuba has correctly put it “there is an alternative and socialism is the only alternative”. Let us hope for a new world order.

AN ORDER GRANTING Rs. 2800 GRADE PAY TO UDC

2011-10-29T03:15:00.002-07:00

Dear readers,

You are aware that this Association had raised a demand for merger of the posts of LDC & UDC and granting of Rs. 2800 grade pay. The demand was very genuine and as such several of the popular web sites flashed the demand in their web sites and accordingly hundreds of readers recorded their positive comments. Close on heal several Staff Associations have taken up the issue in their respective departments. Information under RTI were sought and DoPT had informed that an anomaly case on the matter is under consideration. Thereafter 30% posts of UDC in Central Secretariat Service have been upgraded to 4200 grade pay & 85% LDC's posts in Central Secretariat offices have been abolished. And now DoPT/Department of Expenditure has agreed to grant Rs. 2800 grade pay to UDCs (copy of the order enclosed). Since the LDC & UDC are common cadres, restructuring/upgradation of the posts were not being considered by the various Department so far. This order togetherwith the order abolitiing of 85% posts LDC's posts CSS has opened a new chapter for restructuring of Miknisterial posts.

Bhopal, dated 07/10/2011

Dear friends, To withdraw the PFRDA Bill from the Parliament both in the interest of the Civil Servants and the exchequer Confederation of Central Government Employees & workers has given the call to organise one crores signature campaign and a massive parliament march on 25th of November 2011. Our Association has decided to organize one lakh signatures campaign from the members, members of fraternal Associations, family members and well wishers by 15th of November 2011 so that the same can be submitted to the Confederation by 20th of November 2011.

A pamphlet in HINDI is put in the Association e-mail which may please be used for campaigning amongst the Hindi speaking people.

Dear friends,

You are aware that the Government of India has introduced a new contributory pension scheme for the Civil Servants, recruited to Government service after 1.1.2004. The scheme is mandatory in as much as the employee is bound to subscribe 10% of his emoluments to the Pension Fund. All the State Governments except the Left ruled have also introduced the New Pension Scheme for the employees in their states.

Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority (PFRDA)

The PFRDA was established by Government of India on 23rd August, 2003 and the Government has, through an executive order dated 10th October 2003, mandated PFRDA to act as a regulator for the pension sector. PFRDA has appointed Fund Managers to manage and decide investment of the Fund.

PFRDA Bill:

In order to authenticate the PFRDA established through executive order, the Government of India has introduced the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill, in the Parliament. The first version of Bill was placed before the Parliament by the NDA Government in 2003. The UPA-I brought it again in the parliament which was forced to drop due to the opposition of the left parties, supporting the UPA-I Government. The present Government reintroduced the bill in the parliament recently with an intention to allow the fund managers to invest the amount in speculative share markets wherein the actual quantum of pension one get would depend on the accruals to be decided by the market forces.

Why we oppose the PFRDA Bill?

1. As per the principle adopted in determining of pay package of civil servants the wages paid out during the work tenure is low in order to effect payment of pension on retirement. As such civil service pension is rightly termed as deferred wage. And then the logic of the constitution of a separate Pension Fund for Civil Servants is not justified.

2. The same wage structure designed for those who are recruited prior to the 1.1.2004 has been enforced to the person recruited after 1.1.2004 and yet denied to enable the liability of pension in future by the Government. By imposing the new contributory pension scheme on the employees who are recruited after the cutoff date the Government not only denies the statutory defined pension benefit to them but also compel them to contribute for earning an undefined pension, which must be characterized as highly discriminatory.

3. It is stated that the prime objective of the introduction of the contributory pension scheme is to substantially reduce the outflow on account of pension liability. Whereas the major pension liability of Government is accounted for by Armed Defence personnel, they are however excluded from the purview of the contributory pension scheme. Of the present pension liability of the Government of India, which in 2004-05 was only 0.51% of the GDP out of which 0.26% is accounted for by the Defence. The study report of the Centre for Economic Studies, the Committee set up by the 6th CPC, has observed that at present the pension liability as a percentage to GDP which is just 0.5% which is likely to decline given the growth rate of Indian economy. The committee concluded that the new contributory pension scheme will increase the outflow from the exchequer from Rs. 14,284 Crores to Rs. 57088 Crores by 2038. The Committee has ultimately recommended that the existing pension scheme which is presently in vogue will be ideal and may be continued.

4. As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment “pension is neither a bounty nor a grace bestowed by the sweet will of the employer, but a payment for the past services rendered. It was construed as a right step towards socio-economic justice and a concrete assurance to the effect that the employee in his old age is not left in the lurch. Accordingly the fifth Central Pay Commission observed (Para 127.6) that " pension is the statutory, inalienable and legally enforceable right earned by the civil servant by the sweat of the brow and being so must be fixed, revised, modified and changed in the way not dissimilar to salary granted to serving employees."

5. In the case of Civil Servants recruited after the cut-off date, the new scheme replaces the existing much better "defined benefit" pension scheme. In the process, the Government has created two classes of civil servants viz. the one with a defined benefit pension scheme and the other with the contributory pension scheme in which the employee is to part with 10% of his emoluments to become entitled for an old age social security subject to the vagaries of share market permits. Since in both the cases, the pay, allowances, perks, and other benefits, privileges, duties and responsibilities are the same it amounts to wanton discrimination of one against another which is not sustainable in law, rather violative of the existing constitutional provisions.

6. Those who are covered by the contributory pension scheme will become entitled for an pension, a portion of the accumulated contribution is able to purchase, basing upon the accretion to the fund from the investment. There is, however, no guaranteed minimum amount of pension for those who are covered by the new scheme, whereas the civil servants covered by the existing scheme do get a defined and guaranteed minimum pension and on his death his family members (wife, widowed and unmarred daughters and unemployed sons below the age of 25) become entitled for family pension. The discrimination factor is thus compounded.

7. The pension fund created by the employees' subscription and the employers' contribution which directly flows from the exchequer ( which is nothing but tax revenue of the Govt.) is made available for the stock market operations which is not only unethical but also blatant diversion of public fund for private profit, both Foreign and Indian capitalists.

8. The PRFDA Bill stipulates that there will not be any explicit or implicit assurance of the benefit except market based guarantee. The subscriber is thus exposed to the following risks at the exit.

a) If there is a major market shock, the subscriber to the New Pension scheme may end with no ability to purchase an annuity.

b) Since annuity is and cannot be cost indexed, the real worth of the annuity might fall depending upon the inflationary pressure on the economy.

c) As per the scheme, the subscriber is to make the choice of investment portfolio. The Civil Servant being mostly uninformed in finance and investment related matters, he might end up in making wrong choices which would eventually rob him of the old age pension.

d) The subscriber is perforce to contribute to the charges of the investment managers, whose priority often is as to how much profit they could make through investment of the huge corpus of pension fund in the volatile share market.

9.. The collapse of pension fund in the western capitalist countries in the year 2008-09 illustrate how the market recession and meltdown in the financial markets affect the lifelong savings of the working people. According to a study the private pension funds lost around 30% in the western capitalist countries which make an estimated US$ 5.4 Trillion. In the given the circumstances no one can be sure that the money of the subscriber deposited in the pension fund will get them back. And yet IMF in their work paper advocated for the creation of New Pension Fund in place of old Defined Benefit pension scheme, which can be treated as the voice of the capitalist and market brokers who want to bring the pension fund to the share market.

Action initiated/proposed:

From the above it is clear that the Civil Service pension is the deferred wages of the employees and the same should be paid from the consolidated fund of India under the ‘defined benefit’ of pension scheme. In the given circumstances, in order to oppose the PFRDA Bill, a National Convention under the leadership of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers; All India Railway men Federation; All India State Government Employees’ Federation; School Teachers Federation of India; Bharat Sanchar Nigam Employees’ Union; All India Defense Employees Federation and allied Unions, was organized at New Delhi on 22/7/2011.

The convention unanimously decided to organize a mass signature campaign to be submitted to the Prime Minister (Copy of the petition is enclosed); to approach the Standing Committee for a hearing by the participating organizations; to organize state level conventions; to organize march to Raj Bhawan at all State Capitals; to organize march to parliament on 25th of November & to organize a day’s strike.

With warm regards

Yours Sincerely

Dr Manmohan Singh,
Hon’ble Prime Minister,

Sir,

We submit this petition to bring to your kind notice certain aspects of the re-introduced PFRDA Bill which will have an extremely adverse impact on the pension and retirement benefits of the Government employees. We may also state in this connection that the contributory pension scheme will be a drain on the exchequer.

The guiding principle adopted in determining the pay package of civil servants is to spread out the wage compensation over a long period of time because of which the wages during the work tenure is low to enable pension payment on retirement. This makes the pension a “deferred wage”, which the Supreme Court has upheld as such in their landmark judgment in the case of D.S. Nakara Vs. Union of India. As the bill does not provide implicit or explicit assurance of a minimum pension except marked based guarantee, the civil servant even after contributing huge sums to pension fund may end up with no annuity if the invested company become bankrupt or the equity market crashes. Moreover the annuity which would be the pension under the new scheme being not cost indexed will make it difficult for the pensions to make the both ends meet.

The Committee set up by the 6th CPC has concluded that the new contributory pension scheme will increase the outflow from the exchequer from Rs. 14,284 Crores to Rs. 57088 Crores by 2038. The Committee has also observed that the pension liability of the Government which was 0.5% of the GDP in 2004-05 under the defined benefit scheme is likely to decline if the same is not replaced by the contributory pension scheme as envisaged in the PFRDA bill. The Committee has ultimately recommended that the existing “Pay as you go” pension which is presently in vogue will be ideal and may be continued.

Since the new scheme is neither in the interest of the country as it increases the outflow on account of pension liability nor to the Civil Servants for it does not guarantee a minimum pension, we appeal to you kindly cause withdrawal of the PFRDA Bill from the Parliament immediately.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

MINUTES OF THE GENERAL BODY MEETING OF THE ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF(NON GAZETTED)-FORMERLY ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF MINISTERIAL STAFF (GROUP C), MINISRY OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, HELD ON 15 & 16 09.2011 AT NAVI MUMBAI

The 9th Biennial Conference of the All India Association of Ministerial Staff (Group C) (now All India Association of Administrative Staff (Non Gazetted)) was held at Belapur Mumbai from 15th to 16th September, 2011.

The meeting was held in two sessions viz. Open Session and delegate session.
(a) Open Session.

The Open Session was inaugurated by Com. R.P. Singh, Secretary, Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers Maharastra State Committee. The Chief Guest on this occasion was Shri S.K. Jana, Deputy Director General, NSSO (FOD) Mumbai. Com. Jairaj KV, Secretary General, National Federation of Atomic Energy Employees (NFAEE) and Chairman, Reception Committee welcomed the Guests. The Conference was addressed by Shri R.N. Chaudhary, Head of Office, NSSO (FOD) Mumbai; Shri R.N. Yadav, Superintending Officer on behalf of the Association of Superintending Officers in Subordinate Statistical Service(SSS); Shri H.V. Rabhadia, Superintending Officer, NSSO (FOD), Mumbai; Shri Gopal Singh Palyal, President All India Association of Statistical Investigators; Com. T.R. Janardhanan, President, National Federation of Civil Accounts Association; Com. Laxman Salve, President, Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers, Mumbai; Com. P.M. Warlikar & A. Sridharan, respectively President & General Secretary, Atomic Energey Workers & Staff (BARC) Union, Mumbai; Com. Sunil Kumar & Damodharan, Central Government Pensioners Association; Shri Umed Singh, President AIAMS and others.

The disastrous consequences of the liberalization, privatization and Contractorisation policies pursued by the Government and also the resistance of the working class, opposing these policies were in focus of the speeches delivered. Closure and privatization of the Government Departments, outsourcing of services, abolition of posts, New Pension Scheme etc are adversely affecting the very existence of the Government Employees. The market forces, which rule the society today, have decided to take away the facilities enjoyed by the Government Employees so far, the speakers said. Education, health care, electricity and all other essential services are becoming highly expensive due to the bad affects of the present policies. In this surcharged situation the Central Government Employees are left with no option other than resisting all these anti employee and anti people policies tooth and nail, the speakers said. They called up on all NSSO Employees to join all the action programmes of the Confederation because united action organizing all employees only can save us from the clutches of the anti people exploiters. Also, called to make the proposed 2 crores signature campaign programme called by the Confederation a grant success. The speakers called up to join the March to Parliament programme on 25th November to oppose the introduction of New Pension Scheme Bill in the Parliament.

Shri TKR Pillai General Secretary of the Association, spoke on this occasion briefed the working of the Association since its formation in the year 1993. He re-iterated the role played and the necessity of the Confederation in safeguarding the rights of the Central Government Employees in view of the increased attack on them by the Government.

The following items were discussed and decided during the delegate session.

1. Approval of the Minutes of the Previous General Body Meeting.
Minutes of the last General Body Meeting held in Kolkata on 13.07.09 and 14.07.09 was presented in the meeting for its approval and the General Body Meeting unanimously approved the minutes.
2. Biennial report of the General SecretaryThereafter, General Secretary presented the biennial report on behalf of the Central Executive Committee. The report touched each and every aspect of the common problems of the Ministerial Staff of FOD, SDRD and DPD of NSSO. The report also touched major National and International events affecting the working class in the intervening period. The report was discussed in detail and adopted unanimously.

3. Presentation of Accounts
The Treasurer presented the audited accounts before the General body meeting. After a brief discussion the accounts for the period 1.4.2009 to 31.3.2011 was passed unanimously.

4. Discussion and adoption of demands/grievances of the Ministerial Staff.
4.1 Maintenance of hierarchy in MACP: LDC & UDCs are the most victims of the MACP which provide only Rs. 100/ to an LDC after completion of 10 years. LDC & UDC will send representation to the Secretary, MoS & PI, individually. If the problems are not solved they will file a case challenging the MACP Scheme. A sub-committee with the approval of the General Body Meeting has been constituted to monitor the court cases, if any, filed.

4.2 Merger of the posts of LDC & UDC & Upgradation of grade pay to Rs. 2800: The matter was discussed and decided in view of the fact that the Association was sent a letter to the Prime Minister of India which got widespread support from Ministerial Staff from various Departments including Railways of Government of India and also from various State Government Organizations. DoPT had not given satisfactory reply to the issue so far. Thus the meeting decided to send another letter to the Prime Minister along with the copies of letters received from the DoPT etc. for consideration.

4.3 Re-designation of the LDC & UDC: It was demanded the re-designation of the merged post as Junior Executive Assistant or Executive Assistant Grade II.

4.4 Vacant posts of LDC should be filled up educationally qualified MTS as a one time measure: Quite a lot of posts of LDC are lying vacant in the NSSO Offices especially in the Regional Offices of FOD. Surplus Cell and SSC are failed to deploy candidate to fill up the vacancy so far. It has seen that Surplus cell also deploys educationally qualified MTS, against the regular vacancy of LDC. Thus educationally qualified MTS should be promoted against all vacant posts of LDC as one time measure.

4.5 Promotion to the posts of Assistant on the 18 years combined Seniority of LDC & UDC: The LDC & UDC have been rotated between major sections viz. Establishment, Accounts, Store, TA/Medical and also allocate work viz. Budget, MPER, Reconciliation, NPS Pension maintenance, Pension cases, Pay Fixation etc which are supposed to be allocated to higher posts. Since the LDCs have been allocating work worth to do by UDC & higher posts from the date of their joining as LDC, consideration of combined seniority for promotion to the post of Assistant is justified. And decision has been taken in the meeting accordingly.

4.6 Immediate implementation of the restructuring of the Ministerial Staff: The proposal for the restructuring of Ministerial posts is pending for approval and implementation. Quick measures should be taken for early implementation of the same.

4.7 Early Implementation of the restructuring of the Official Language Posts: The contents of the cadre restructuring proposal in respect of Official Language Posts, put up to the Ministry by the FOD, have been discussed in the meeting. The meeting while expressing satisfaction on the proposal has unanimously decided to demand its immediate implementation also.

4.8 Granting of Rs. 4200 grade pay to 30% UDCs on completion of 6 years service on the grade: The matter was discussed as per DoPT vide O.M. No.20/49/2009-CA.II (B) dated 22nd June 2011 wherein the upgradation of 30% posts of UDC & Steno grade III in Central Secretariat Offices, after completion of 5 years on the posts, was ordered. The meeting unanimously decided to demand implementation of the order in subordinate offices also immediately.

4.9 Additional Ministerial Staff should be posted in the offices where DDGs posted: The matter was discussed in the meeting and decided that the DDG is equal to the rank of the Joint Secretary entitled with various additional facilities. But no additional staff is posted in the offices where DDGs are posted. Thus the DDG uses the service of Ministerial Staff in addition to the stenographer attached with him to assist him in day to day matters. This increases the burden of already burdened limited Ministerial Staff in the FOD Offices. Thus additional staff should be posted in these offices.

4.10 Sanction of Additional posts of UDCs to Regional Offices: In Regional offices of FOD sufficient posts of UDCs are not sanctioned. Two UDCs for 4 or 5 LDCs are not according to the norms. The matter was discussed in the General Body Meeting and decided to demand creation of more UDCs in the Regional Offices.
4.11 Administrative high handedness should be stopped to create congenial working atmosphere: A warm working environment gives extra energy to the employees at work. But often administrative high-handedness especially due to ego problem & voracity of the officers posted disturbs the congenial administrative atmosphere in the offices. The egoistic activities of such officers often create disturbance in the mind of Administrative staff who are already burdened with work load. Thus it should be ensured that congenial working atmosphere in the office should not be disturbed by the activities of such officers.

4.12 Transfer of UDCs in violation of the existing transfer rules/recruitment rules: As per the standing rules LDCs & UDCs in FOD are state level cadres only. But the cases of transfer of the UDC in other states have been reported in the General Body Meeting. The Meeting strongly felt that such transfers hamper the promotion chances of the LDCs of the state where the incumbent transferred and as such the same should be stopped forthwith.

4.13 Granting of equal honorarium to Ministerial Staff: Instances of Neglecting the Ministerial Staff in the grant of honorarium was raised in the GB and delegates said that the Ministerial Staff are being neglected while granting honorarium for equal work in comparison with the amount of honorarium granted to the Field Staff. The meeting discussed the matter and unanimously resolved to take up the same with the concerned office to rectify the irregularity in future.

4.14 Filling up of all vacant posts of Administrative Staff & Official Language Posts: A large number of posts of Assistant, UDC, LDC, MTS, Stenographers, Junior Translators etc. are lying vacant in various offices of NSSO especially in FOD Regions. As a result work in the administrative section of FOD Regions suffers badly and the available Administrative staff has to do over time to complete the work there. The matter was discussed in the General Body Meeting and unanimously decided to demand immediate filling up of these posts. It has also decided to demand the DPD/SDRD Divisions to fill up all vacant posts of Administrative Staff there immediately.

4.15 Creation of Ministerial Staff in SROs: Assistant Directors have been posted as in charge in several of the Sub-Regional Offices of FOD. The post of Assistant Director shall be replaced with the present in Charge SO in the remaining SROs also in future. At present the MTS posted in the SRO are doing the related work of administration. Consequent to the appointment of a class I officer as in charge, the volume of administrative work will further increase in the SROs. Further, proposal for sanction of Junior Translators in 20 selected SROs have been approved by the FOD. Thus posting of Ministerial Staff in SRO is necessarily required and the General Body Meeting unanimously decided to put up a demand on the matter from the Association’s side.

4.16 Conduct of JCM DC & OCM Meetings immediately: The meeting was informed that The Department had notified the conduct of 100th meeting of the Departmental Council on 3rd June 2009. But the 100th meeting has not conducted as yet. Similarly, the Office Council Meetings are not being conducted for the last 2 years. The matter was discussed in the meeting and decided to demand immediate revival of the JCM /OCM forms in the Department.

4.17 Training of Ministerial Staff in ISTM/Zone Training Centre: The meeting was informed that training of Ministerial Staff of NSSO Offices has not been organized in ISTM for the last several years in the plea that ISTM has stopped conducting short term Administrative Training. The matter was discussed in length and decided to ensure the conducting of periodical training in ISTM for Ministerial Staff by the NSSO Offices.
In FOD Zonal training centre also the necessity of inviting expert guest lecturers from out side or from Hqrs/Regional Offices stressed and decided to put up the demand to FOD.

4.18 Educationally qualified MTS should be trained in Zonal Training Centre: The demand has been put up in view of the fact that MTS have been engaged to do the routine administrative work in all Regional Offices /SROs of the FOD.

4.19 Maintenance of time schedule for DPC: The matter was come up in view of the fact that the FOD Hqrs and various Regional Offices are not conducting DPC as per the time schedule prescribed.

4.20 Promotion should be affected from back date: If any financial loss caused due to delay in DPC then promotion should be given from the back date as in the case of ISS, considered recently.

4.21 Compassionate appointment to all: The meeting noted that the existing ceiling of 5% of the total Group C posts for compassionate appointment is not sufficient.

9th Biennial Conference and decisions.
The 9th Biennial Conference of the All India Association of Ministerial Staff (Group C) (now All India Association of Administrative Staff (Non Gazetted)) was held at Belapur Mumbai from 15th to 16th September, 2011. The meeting was inaugurated by Com. R.P. Singh, Secretary, Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers Maharastra State Committee, Mumbai. The Chief Guest on this occasion was Shri S.K. Jana, Deputy Director General, NSSO (FOD) Mumbai. Com. Jairaj KV, Secretary General, National Federation of Atomic Energy Employees (NFAEE) and Chairman, Reception Committee welcomed the Guests. The Conference was addressed by Shri R.N. Chaudhary, Head of Office, NSSO (FOD) Mumbai; Shri R.N. Yadav, Superintending Officer on behalf of the Association of Superintending Officers in Subordinate Statistical Service(SSS); Shri H.V. Rabhadia, Superintending Officer, NSSO (FOD), Mumbai; Shri Gopal Singh Palyal, President All India Association of Statistical Investigators; Com. T.R. Janardhanan, President, National Federation of Civil Accounts Association; Com. Laxman Salve, President, Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers, Mumbai; Com. P.M. Warlikar & A. Sridharan, respectively President & General Secretary, Atomic Energey Workers & Staff (BARC) Union, Mumbai; Com. Sunil Kumar & Damodharan, Central Government Pensioners Association; Shri Umed Singh, President AIAMS and others.

The disastrous consequences of the liberalization, privatization and Contractorisation policies pursued by the Government and also the resistance of the working class, opposing these policies were in focus of the speeches delivered. Closure and privatization of the Government Departments, outsourcing of services, abolition of posts, New Pension Scheme etc are adversely affecting the very existence of the Government Employees. The market forces, which rule the society today, have decided to take away the facilities enjoyed by the Government Employees so far, the speakers said. Education, health care, electricity and all other essential services are becoming highly expensive due to the bad affects of the present policies. In this surcharged situation the Central Government Employees are left with no option other than resisting all these anti employee and anti people policies tooth and nail, the speakers said. They called up on all NSSO Employees to join all the action programmes of the Confederation because united action organizing all employees only can save us from the clutches of the anti people exploiters.

Shri TKR Pillai who spoke on this occasion briefed the working of the Association since its formation in the year 1993. He re-iterated the role played and the necessity of the Confederation in safeguarding the rights of the Central Government Employees in view of the increased attack on them by the Government. Shri K.V.Kandalgaonkar, convener Reception Committee proposed a vote of thanks. Smt V. D. Bhatkar conducted the proceedings.

The delegate session of the meeting were held at B.T. Randive Smarak Trust Building. 40 delegates from 21 Branches were present at the delegate session. The meeting adopted the report and accounts submitted on behalf of the CEC. Majority of the delegates participated in the discussion on the report, accounts & other agenda items. General Secretary on behalf of the CEC provided all the clarification sought by the members before adopting the report/accounts and other items discussed. The amendments to the Constitution proposed by the CEC were adopted. As a result now the name of the Association is changed as “All India Association of Administrative Staff (Non Gazetted)” in place of the existing All India Association of Ministerial Staff (Group C). The gist of the major decision taken is given below:

Maintenance of hierarchy in MACP: LDC & UDCs are the most victims of the MACP which provide only Rs. 100/ to an LDC after completion of 10 years. LDC & UDC will send representation to the Secretary, DoPT, individually through proper channel. If the problems are not solved they will file a case challenging the MACP Scheme. A sub-committee with the approval of the General Body Meeting has been constituted to monitor the court cases, if any, filed.

Merger of the posts of LDC &UDC &Upgradation of grade pay to Rs. 2800: The matter was discussed and decided in view of the fact that the Association was sent a letter to the Prime Minister of India which got widespread support from Ministerial Staff from various Departments including Railways of Government of India and also from various State Government Organizations. DoPT had not given satisfactory reply to the issue so far. Thus the meeting decided to send another letter to the Prime Minister along with the copies of letters received from the DoPT etc. for consideration.

Re-designation of the LDC &UDC: It was demanded the re-designation of the merged post as Junior Executive Assistant or Executive Assistant Grade II.

Vacant posts of LDC should be filled up educationally qualified MTS as a one time measure: Quite a lot of posts of LDC are lying vacant in the NSSO Offices especially in the Regional Offices of FOD. Surplus Cell and SSC are failed to deploy candidate to fill up the vacancy so far. It has seen that Surplus cell deploys educationally qualified MTS, become surplus in the Government India Departments, against the regular vacancy of LDC. Thus educationally qualified MTS should be promoted against all vacant posts of LDC as one time measure.

Educationally qualified MTS should be trained in Zonal Training Centre: The demand has been put up in view of the fact that MTS have been engaged to do the routine administrative work in all Regional Offices of the FOD.

Maintenance of time schedule for DPC: The matter was come up in view of the fact that the FOD Hqrs and various Regional Offices are not conducting DPC as per the time schedule prescribed.

Promotion should be affected from back date: If any financial loss caused due to delay in DPC then promotion should be given from the back date as in the case of ISS, considered recently.

Promotion to the posts of Assistant on the 18 years combined Seniority of LDC& UDC: The LDC & UDC have been rotated between major sections viz. Establishment, Accounts, Store, TA/Medical and also allocate work viz. Budget, MPER, Reconciliation, NPS Pension maintenance, Pension cases, Pay Fixation etc which are supposed to be allocated to higher posts. Since the LDCs have been allocating work worth to do by UDC & higher posts from the date of their joining as LDC, consideration of combined seniority for promotion to the post of Assistant is justified.

Immediate implementation of the restructuring of the Ministerial Staff: The proposal for the restructuring of Ministerial posts is pending for approval and implementation. Quick measures should be taken for early finalization of the same.

Early finalization of the restructuring of the Official Language Posts: It has come to know that the cadre restructuring proposal for the Official Language Posts is under consideration of the Ministry. It is requested to take necessary action for early impllementation of the same.

Administrative high handedness should be stopped to create congenial working atmosphere: A warm working environment gives extra energy to the employees at work. But often administrative high-handedness especially due to ego problem of the officers posted disturbs the congenial administrative atmosphere in the offices. The egoistic activities of such officers often create disturbance in the mind of Administrative staff who are already burdened with work load. Thus it should be ensured that congenial working atmosphere in the office should not be disturbed by the activities of such officers.

Additional Ministerial Staff should be posted in the offices where DDGs posted: DDG is equal to the rank of the Joint Secretary entitled with various additional facilities. But no additional staff is posted in the offices where DDGs are posted. Thus the DDG uses the service of Ministerial Staff in addition to the stenographer attached with him to assist him in day to day matters. This increases the burden of already burdened limited Ministerial Staff in the FOD Offices. Thus additional staff should be posted in these offices.

Transfer of UDCs in violation of the existing transfer rules/recruitment rules: As per the standing rules LDCs & UDCs in FOD are state level cadres only. But the cases of transfer of the UDC in other states have been reported in the General Body Meeting. Such transfer hampers the promotion chances of the LDCs of the state where the incumbent transferred and as such the same should be stopped forthwith.

Granting of equal honorarium to Ministerial Staff: Instances of Neglecting the Ministerial Staff in the grant of honorarium was raised in the GB and delegates said that the Ministerial Staff are being neglected while granting honorarium for equal work in comparison with the amount of honorarium granted to the Field Staff. The matter should be considered while granting honorarium in future.

These are only the major demands. Detailed Minutes are being sent to the Branches separately. The Meeting elected the following as the office bearers for the ensuing term of two years. The Meeting concluded its deliberations on 16th at 6.30 PM.

PARLIAMENTARY PANEL RECOMMENDS HIKE IN THE RATE OF GPF

2011-08-18T09:42:00.001-07:00

Hike rate of return on GPF, panel advises govt

Dear friends,

You are aware that the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has been demanding for the enhancement of the interest rate on the GPF of Central Government Employees and this had been one of the demands of the CG Employees Charter. Now according to the PTI, a Parliamentary Panel headed by the former Finance Minister Sri. Yashwant Sinha has recommended hike to the GPF interest rates. We are reproducing the news item [courtesy: Central Government Employees News]:

A Parliamentary panel today asked the Central government to increase the rate of return on provident fund for its employees in the light of rising bank rates and EPFO's decision to hike its rate to 9.5% for 2010-11.

"The rate of interest on General Provident Fund (GPF) which is pegged at 8% may be reviewed so that government employees are not put to any disadvantage more so now when the interest rates for bank deposits has also been raised," the Standing Committee on Finance suggested in its report.
If the suggests of the panel finds favour from the government, over 50 lakh Centre's employees will stand to benifit.

The panel headed by former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, pointed out that retirement fund body Employees Provident Fund Organiation has also increased rate of interest on PF deposits to 9.5% for 2010-11 from 8%.

The EPFO had been paying 8.5% interest on PF deposits since 2005-06. In September last year, it had recommended an increase in interest rate to 9.5% for 2010-11 after discovering Rs 1,731 crore surplus in their books of accounts.

In the present scenario, the bank rates are also increasing. Reserve Bank of India has increased its short term lending and borrowing rates by half a percentage point to 8 and 7%, respectively in its recent quarterly review unveiled on July 26.

Following the central bank's rate hike, some private and public sector have also hiked their rates.

Dear Comrades,

RESIST ONSLAUGHT ON DEMOCRATIC RIGHT TO PROTEST;
MANIFEST SOLIDARITY WITH MOVEMENT AGAINST CORRUPTION

Confederation records its deep resentment over the denial of right to organise peaceful agitation against corruption by the Civil Society led by Gandhian Shri Anna Hazare.

This attack is an eye-opener for democratic forces and trade union movement across the country and is a warning to toiling masses that their fight for decent living wages and right to live with dignity would also be met with similarly. Confederation is therefore of the firm view that all employees and workers should protest against this action of the government of denying the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right to protest peacefully.
Confederation calls upon every government employee to join the protest in their station along with other trade unions and democratic forces against the attack on the right to protest and ensure that such attacks are not repeated. State Units of Confederation may arrange protest demonstration in all work places today itself.

Confederation further calls upon every state unit to manifest solidarity with the movement against corruption at all levels.

Merger & Upgradation of the posts of LDC & UDC-Reply of DoP&T under RTI Act

2011-07-22T03:02:00.002-07:00

Dear friends,
Now DoP&T has replied that they have not taken any initiation for the merger of the posts of LDC & UDC and upgradation of the Grade Pay, whereas the entire clerical staff in the offices of the Government of India were expecting a positive action from the DoPT on the matter. DoP&T says that a portion of the posts of UDCs in the CSSS have been upgraded. By giving this reply they want to mislead us,on the following reasons:

1.The decision for the upgradation of 30% posts of UDC in CSSS has not implemented for the UDCs of subordinate offices, whereas recruitment rules of the LDC & UDC of CSSS & subordinate offices are the same.

2.An average 15 years take place for the promotion of LDC to UDC in the subordinate offices. Thus without upgrading the post of LDC, the benefit of upgradation of 30% UDC granted will not give any benefit to LDCs.

3.The sufferings of LDCs increased many fold after the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission/MACP. Upgradation of the GP of the LDC is the only solution for these genuine problem.

I doubt, DoP&T is willing to upgrade the LDC & UDC of CSSS only. 6th Pay Commission had recommended parity in the pay scale of Assistants but the Government had upgraded the grade pay of the Assistants of CSSS. Now they willing to upgrade the posts of UDC & LDC of CSSS as well. The entire Ministerial Staff of Government of India should raise their voice against this injustice.
