Highlights of the recommendations of 7th Pay commission approved by cabinet


HIGHLIGHTS


 1.      The present system of Pay Bands and Grade Pay has been dispensed with and a new Pay Matrix as recommended by the Commission has been approved. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the Pay Matrix. Separate Pay Matrices have been drawn up for Civilians, Defence Personnel and for Military Nursing Service. The principle and rationale behind these matrices are the same.
2.      All existing levels have been subsumed in the new structure; no new levels have been introduced nor has any level been dispensed with. Index of Rationalisation has been approved for arriving at minimum pay in each Level of the Pay Matrix depending upon the increasing role, responsibility and accountability at each step in the hierarchy.
3.         The minimum pay has been increased from Rs 7,000 to 18,000 per month. Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at the lowest level will now be Rs 18,000 whereas for a freshly recruited Class I officer, it will be Rs 56,100. This reflects a compression ratio of 1:3.12 signifying that the pay of a Class I officer on direct recruitment will be three times the pay of an entrant at the lowest level.
4.         For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices. After taking into account the DA at prevailing rate, the salary/pension of all government employees/pensioners will be raised by at least 14.29 % as on 01.01.2016.
5.         Rate of increment has been retained at 3%. This will benefit the employees in future on account of higher basic pay as the annual increments that they earn in future will be 2.57 times than at present.
6.        The Cabinet approved further improvements in the Defence Pay Matrix by enhancing Index of Rationalisation for Level 13A (Brigadier) and providing for additional stages in Level 12A (Lieutenant Colonel), 13 (Colonel) and 13A (Brigadier) in order to bring parity with Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) counterparts at the maximum of the respective Levels.
7.        Some other decisions impacting the employees including Defence & Combined Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel include :
—        Gratuity ceiling enhanced from Rs10 to 20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity will increase by 25 % whenever DA rises by 50%.
—        A common regime for payment of Ex-gratia lump sum compensation for civil and defence forces personnel payable to Next of Kin with the existing rates enhanced from Rs 10-20 lakh to Rs 25-45 lakh for different categories.
—        Rates of Military Service Pay revised from Rs 1,000, 2,000, 4,200 and 6,000 to Rs 3,600, 5,200, 10,800 and 15,500 respectively for various categories of Defence Forces personnel.
—        Terminal gratuity equivalent of 10.5 months of reckonable emoluments for Short Service Commissioned Officers who will be allowed to exit Armed Forces any time between 7 and 10 years of service.
—        Hospital Leave, Special Disability Leave and Sick Leave subsumed into a composite new Leave named ‘Work Related Illness and Injury Leave’ (WRIIL). Full pay and allowances will be granted to all employees during the entire period of hospitalization on account of WRIIL.
8.        The Cabinet also approved the recommendation of the Commission to enhance the ceiling of House Building Advance from Rs 7.50 lakh to 25 lakh. In order to ensure that no hardship is caused to employees, four interest-free advances namely Advances for Medical Treatment, TA on tour/transfer, TA for family of deceased employees and LTC have been retained. All other interest-free advances have been abolished.
9.        The Cabinet also decided not to accept the steep hike in monthly contribution towards Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS) recommended by the Commission. The existing rates of monthly contribution will continue. This will increase the take home salary of employees at lower levels by Rs 1,470. However, considering the need for social security of employees, the Cabinet has asked Ministry of Finance to work out a customised group insurance scheme for Central Government Employees with low premium and high risk cover.
10. The general recommendations of the Commission on pension and related benefits have been approved by the Cabinet. Both the options recommended by the Commission as regards pension revision have been accepted subject to feasibility of their implementation. Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 shall be implemented immediately. A Committee is being constituted to address the implementation issues anticipated in the first formulation. The first formulation may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by proposed Committee which is to submit its Report within 4 months.
11.        The Commission examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of rationalisation, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of 37 Allowances. Given the significant changes in the existing provisions for Allowances which may have wide-ranging implications, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Committee headed by Finance Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC on Allowances. The Committee will complete its work in a time bound manner and submit its reports within a period of 4 months. Till a final decision, all existing Allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates.
12.       The Cabinet also decided to constitute two separate Committees (i) to suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of National Pension System (NPS) and (ii) to look into anomalies likely to arise out of implementation of the Commission’s Report.
13.    Apart from the pay, pension and other recommendations approved by the Cabinet, it was decided that the concerned Ministries may examine the issues that are administrative in nature, individual post/ cadre specific and issues in which the Commission has not been able to arrive at a consensus.
14.       As estimated by the 7th CPC, the additional financial impact on account of implementation of all its recommendations in 2016-17 will be Rs 1,02,100 crore. There will be an additional implication of Rs 12,133 crore on account of payments of arrears of pay and pension for two months of 2015-16.

Regarding observations against proposed Recruitment Rules of PS Group B cadre.

General Secretary Addressed the Secretary on recruitment rules of PS group B.
No.CHQ/AIAIPASP/RR-PS Gr.B/2016                          Dated:    15/06/2016

To,
Shri S. K. Sinha,
Director General,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-110 001.

Subject:     Regarding observations against proposed Recruitment Rules of PS Group B cadre.

Reference:   Directorate No. 9-14/2010-SPG dated 30.05.2016 refers.

Respected Sir,

The IP/ASP Association has extensively studied the proposed recruitment rules and members are in the state of deep disappointment. The proposed RRs are totally disregard to the basic criteria and orders of Hon’ble CAT bench in OA No.399/PB/2011 dated 26.05.2011, wherein statement given by Director (Staff) at Bar that the quota prescribed (75% for promotion under non-examination quota & 19% for promotion under Examination Quota), qua which the prayer is relatable, shall not be exceeded, was accepted.  These are full of discrimination to the IP/ASP waiting elevation to Group B for the last 24-25 years. Thus career progression of IP/ASP under non-examination quota (75%) has been hit hard. New RRs have drastically reduced the number of posts to 562 from 649 posts. Below Tabulation would show how already settled position has disturbed the number in their respective quota in post based roaster.

PS Gr. ‘B’ Recruitment Rules, 1993 [Pre-revised]

Total Number of Posts
866
No. of 75% IP line posts to be filled through Seniority cum fitness
649
No. of 19% IP line posts to be filled through LDCE
165
No. of 6% General line posts to be filled through LDCE
52


Sr. Postmaster Recruitment Rules, 2010

Total Number of Posts
116
No. of IP line posts to be filled through Seniority cum fitness
NIL
No. of 75% IP line posts to be filled through LDCE 75% of 116
87
No. of 25% General line posts to be filled through seniority cum fitness
29

 PS Gr. B Recruitment Rules, 2016 (proposed to be revised)

Total Number of Posts
866-116 =750
No. of 75% IP line posts to be filled through Seniority cum fitness
562
No. of 22% IP line posts to be filled through LDCE as per roster in vogue.
165
No. of 3% General line post to be filled through LDCE
52-29  =23

          Thus, there is overall loss of 87 posts to be filled under seniority cum fitness quota in PS Gr. ‘B’ while examination quota gained 87 posts in Sr. Postmaster cadre. Whereas all the other cadres Gr. C & Gr. A are benefitted in their respective cadre restructuring, at the same time promotion avenues of IP/ASP (non-examination quota) are squeezed. As a matter of justice 87 posts should not be carved out/reduced from Seniority quota. RRs of Sr. Postmaster Rules are amended to the extent that promotion (75%) to Sr. Postmaster should also be through Seniority cum fitness to equalise the equation under respective quota. 

          It is hoped that proper measures to solve this matter and chalk out remedies for our grievances will be taken before giving final nod to the proposed RRs.

          This Association hopes that an early action will be taken by the Department.
         
Yours sincerely,

Sd/-
