Cabinet decisions on CG Employees and Pensioners after a long wait! 





Cabinet has taken decision only on Allowances and no word on minimum wages and fitment factor enhancement contrary to some News Channels which were telecasting wrong news of raise in basic pay and figment factor.

Highlights of Cabinet approval on Allowances:

1) Fully DA-indexed allowances such as Transport Allowance were not given any raise. Allowances not indexed to DA were raised by a factor of 2.25 and the partially indexed ones by a factor of 1.5. The quantum of allowances paid as a percentage of pay was rationalised by a factor of 0.8.

2) Government has decided not to abolish 12 of the 53 allowances which were recommended to be abolished by the 7th CPC. The decision to retain these allowances has been taken keeping in view the specific functional requirements of Railways, Posts and Scientific Departments such as Space and Atomic Energy. It has also been decided that 3 of the 37 allowances recommended to be subsumed by the 7th CPC will continue as separate identities. This has been done on account of the unique nature of these allowances. The rates of these allowances have also been enhanced as per the formula adopted by the 7th CPC. This means 41 Allowances are abolished as recommended by 7th CPC.

3) 7th CPC had  recommended that HRA rates will be revised upwards in two phases to 27%, 18% and 9% when DA crosses 50% and to 30%, 20% and 10% when DA crosses 100%. Keeping in view the current inflation trends, the Government has decided that these rates will be revised upwards when DA crosses 25% and 50% respectively.This means the existing higher rate of HRA will not continue.

4) FMA doubled from 500/- to 1000/- per month to Pensioners. So the FMA is enhanced to 1000/- instead of 2000/- already being granted to PF Department since 2006 and demanded by us.

5) Rate of Children Education Allowance (CEA) has been increased from ₹1500 per month / child (max. 2) to ₹2250 per month / child (max.2). Hostel Subsidy will also go up from ₹4500 per month to ₹6750 per month.

6) Existing rates of Special Allowance for Child Care for Women with Disabilities has been doubled from ₹1500 per month to ₹3000 per month.

7) Higher Qualification Incentive for Civilians has been increased from ₹2000 - ₹10000 (Grant) to ₹10000 - ₹30000 (Grant

8) Cycle Allowance to Postman retained and doubled from 90/- to 180/-;

9) Rate of constant attendance allowance increased from 4500/- to 6750/-; this means this allowance is not doubled but only 50% increased.

10) The 7th CPC had recommended that TLA will not be admissible with Special Duty Allowance (SDA) payable in North-East, Ladakh and the Islands. Government has decided that employees will be given the option to avail of the benefit of SCRLA at pre-revised rates along with SDA at revised rates.

NCCPA Circular and Notice for NCCPA National Executive Meeting

NCCPA CIRCULAR & 
NOTICE FOR NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEETING 

Dear Comrades! The NCCPA Circular is placed for your information. Kindly go through the Circular and discuss at your State / District / Divisional level with other comrades and email to AIPRPA CHQ about the possible anomalies to be taken up with the Government through the NCCPA in the National Anomaly Committee. The definition of anomaly is to be understood clearly; any recommendation that are negatived by the Government is an anomaly automatically; any aberration in the pension fixation is an anomaly. Therefore comrades are requested to forward any such anomalies to our CHQ for compiling them and sending to NCCPA Secretary General through the CHQ. The Notice for National Executive Meeting is only for the information as the General Secretary and the CHQ President will be attending the said meeting at Nagpur on behalf of AIPRPA besides other Office Bearers of NCCPA elected on behalf of AIPRPA.

PRESIDENT:       COM.SHIV GOPAL MISHRA.(97176 47594)
SECRETARY GENERAL:COM.K.K.N.KUTTY. (98110 483030

Dear Comrades,

            We are sending herewith the notice for the National Executive meeting.  We had already intimated you over sms that the meeting would be held at Nagpur on 19th August, 2017.  We have also placed a copy of the Notice on our website.  The exact venue of the meeting and other details would be communicated to you by the Reception Committee or Com.D.V. Dhakthod, our vice President. 

            We have been informed that arrangements for stay would be made by the host unit from 18th evening to 20th forenoon.  Those who are likely to reach earlier and perhaps leave later will have to make their own arrangements.  Nagpur is expected to have a humid and hot climatic condition at that time..  Rains are also expected.  Besides, the National Secretariat members, the Chief Executives of all affiliated Associations are members of the National Executive and they are all requested to be present at the meeting.  If for some unavoidable reason, the General Secretary of the affiliated Association is not able to go over to Nagpur, he is entitled to deploy any other office bearers to attend the NE meeting, with due information to the CHQ.  If any of the Sectt. member or the other NE members prefers to make their own arrangements for stay, they are free to do so.  However, if such arrangements are made, the same may please be communicated to the reception committee.  In fact we would very much welcome such arrangements if somebody is able to do so.

            Please inform in advance your journey details to the reception committee.  They are to deploy comrades to take you to the boarding place and make you comfortable.  We also advise that it would be better that the comrades reach on 18th night itself so that the  reception committee will have less pressure on 19th morning.  Those who are to leave on 19th itself, we would request them to kindly  book their tickets only by the train or flight after 8.30 PM. 

            The meeting is expected to commence on 19th at 10.30AM and we want it to be concluded latest by 7.30PM.  Since we have a heavy agenda for discussion,  we request you to kindly co-operate with us to keep the time schedule. 

            Our Finance Secretary has informed us that there had been no remittance of subscription except a few in the last financial year. i.e. 2015-16  Whatever is due to be paid depending upon the membership, we request that the same may please be remitted immediately.  We give hereunder the bank details so that the amount could be remitted by you without any hassle.     

                                    Name of the Bank:     Syndicate Bank.
Branch Name:            India Park Branch, RZ 44331. Street No. 24, Sadh Nagar, Palam Colony, New Delhi. 110 0045.
MICR Code:                110025329
IFSC No.                     SYNB 0009188
Account  No.               91882010026870
Account is the joint name of the Finance Secretary and Secretary General i.e. Harbajan Lal Sidhu and K.K.N. Kutty.

            To ensure that the financial position of the NCCPA is strengthened, and  enable it to function properly, we may if all of you permit, propose to double the existing rate of subscription to. Rs. 2 per member per annum for the FY 2016-17 onwards.

            By the end of this months, the final decisions of the Government on various issues pertaining to 7th CPC recommendations and  referred to different committees  would become available.  In so far as pension matters are concerned, the only matter of interest that has remained pending is the fixed medical allowance.  As the things go, we do not expect any positive decision on the part of the Government in the matter, unless the top bureaucrats have any benefit thereon.  It is expected to be a long drawn out struggle for the Pensioner community.  In this connection, we are to inform you that the Staff Side of the JCM National Council has fixed 23rd June, 2017 as the last date for the submission of National anomaly committee items to their office.  As you are aware the National Anomaly Committee has already been set up and its first meeting has also been held. All pension related items would be within the ambit of the National Anomaly Committee.  Kindly go through the expanded definition of anomaly.  Please prepare items that are to be taken up and send the same to the NCCPA in its e mail only.  Please see our e mail address on the top of this letter-head.  Please send the items neatly typed in double space and send the same through e mail only as a word file.  Please do not send the same as either a Pdf file or in the  image form.  Since the items can be sponsored only once,  kindly cause discussions on this issue in a wider forum and prepare the items and send it to us immediately.  The Staff Side is expected to meet by the end of this month to finalise the items, they had received upto 23rd June, 2017. 

            We shall have a comprehensive discussions on the items, which would be included int he list of the NAC agenda in our NE meeting to formulate our  oral arguments when these issues are taken up for discussion.  No doubt the refusal of Option No. 1. And the denial of pensionary benefits to the employees of the autonomous bodies must figure in our discussions on 18th and no less importance we mush assign to the organisational issues. 

            Lastly the NE meeting must discuss and decide upon future programme of action especially to pursue the issue concerning the Option No. 1. and the untenable rejection thereof by the Pension Department.  Once we chalk out the programme, we may be able to get in touch with other pensioners Associations for eliciting their co-operation and participation.  So far our attempt to forge a united platform has not fructified.

            With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Sd/-

Secretary General.
