Gujarat Circle, Ahmedabad

Subject:
Grant of Special CL to employees who couldn't attend duty on account of road blockages and heavy rainfall in Gujarat Circle.

Respected Sir,
Namaskar. There is very heavy rainfall, floods, water dumping and road blockages which adversely effected people in various districts like Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Patan, Mahesana, Gandhinagar, Kheda, Anand, Surendranagar, Rajkot etc.

Our staff might have become helpless and in compelling situation they could not attend duty. 

Today, there's very heavy rain at Ahmedabad overnight and roads are blocked in many areas. Considering effects of Natural Calamity , it is requested to isdue an order of grant of Special CL to effected employees as provided in Rule 8(g) of CCS Leave rules.

We also request to set up a team consisting of administrative officers as welk as union leaders for reviewing situation for post offices & postal employees in interior areas and for helping & providing all possible assistance.

I was coming to see Hon. CPMG today on this issue but due to heavy raining it can't be possible today. So, sending this mail.

Some DHs are issuing cadre restructuring orders very hastily after knowing about orders of Dte regarding putting hold on exercise. As the orders are seen on Whatsapp but circulation through channel takes a day or two, they are issuing CR orders as if they would miss a train!

One important issue requiring urgent attention & intervention of Hon. CPMG:

On account of C.O. letter dated 14-7-17 by which TU facilities of Circle union has been withdrawn due to delay beyond 27 months in convening Biennial Conference, some DHs are confused and responding as if whole Union functionary has been derecognised! They are refusing grant of monthly meeting to Divisional unions. C.O. has yet not issued orders for Special CL/relief of delegates to All India Conference being held at Bangalore on 5 to 8 August. Order for grant of Special CL to the undersigned in capacity as a "working president" (office bearer of CHQ) have also not been issued till today to enable to attend Central Working Committee on 5-8-17 and AIC on 6-8 August. It is requested to issue a clarification to all DH that letter of withdrawal of TU facilities of Circle Union has no impact on functioning of Divisional union. The said order doesn't mean that TU facilities of Circle as well as all divisions have been withdrawn. Sir. This is prime issue for us. We urge very prompt actions on this. We are suspecting over certain persons in CO who are deliberately tossing files and creating problems for us. If our delegates are not granted special CL in next 2 days for attending AIC, it will be too late as journey starts on 3-4 August for all of us. Please take this matter seriously and extend cooperation. 

Kindly consider all issues on top priority.

With regards

Yours Sincerely

We strongly condemn the unilateral attitude of Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM – Confederation


We strongly condemn the unilateral attitude of Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM – Confederation
CONFEDERATION DISOWNS THE STATEMENT OF SECRETARY, STAFF SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM
Com Shiv Gopal Misra, Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM & General Secretary, All India Railway Men’s Federation has issued a Press statement “welcoming and thanking ” the decision of the Central Government regarding implementation of the revised allowances to Central Government employees.
The statement has created an impression among some section of employees that all the organisations of National Council JCM (including organisations affiliated to Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers) are of the same opinion and all the leaders of the JCM Staff Side has cheated the employees. To put the records straight, Confederation National Secretariat like to make it clear that our opinion was not sought by Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM, before issuing such a statement.
We have already given a call to the employees to hold nationwide protest demonstrations against betrayal of the NDA Government. Confederation alone has conducted a series of agitational programmes against the negative attitude of the NDA Govt. towards Employees and Pensioners, including 15th December 2016 Parliament March, 16th March 2017 one day strike , 23rd May 2017 Mass dharna in front of Finance Ministers office , 22nd June 2017 Human Chain etc. Confederation National Secretariat strongly disagree with certain views and comments made by Secretary, Staff Side, and organisations affiliated to Confederation who have representation in JCM totally disown the statement.
We strongly condemn the unilateral attitude of Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM. The statement issued by the three Standing Committee Members of Staff Side National Council JCM who are representing Confederation in the JCM Standing Committee is furnished below.

Subject: Agenda of AlPE Union Group 'C' for bimonthly meeting at RO Rajkot




Respected sir,

Namaskar. Kindly entertain following items on Agenda for next Bimonthly meeting at R.O. Rajkot.


The mechanism for mutual dialogues through formal meetings was fractured in Rajkot region for one or other reasons. Now staff side expects all round rejuvenation and better staff welfare and exchange of ideas & feelings by healthier mutual discussion. It is requested to convene meeting at the earliest.


-: AGENDA :-

Item No.1

Circulation of Directorate instructions dated 19-8-15 and 15-3-16 by units in vernacular language up to branch offices and assuring its implementation and fixing of responsibilities for wilful infringement (regarding practice of splitting of one higher denomination account into multiple lower denomination accounts in Post offices)


- above instructions are infringed in mass scale and there increases expenditure to govt besides wastage of time, men power and whole system. Immediate action is required to find out viable and pragmatic ways & means to achieve targets with reasonable & cogent considerations.


Item.No.2

REQUEST FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF 89TH RJCM DECISION ON PHYSICAL SHIFTING OF OFFICISLS ON COMPLETION OF TENURE AND IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF ALL DEPUTATIONS.


Other regions have already implemented. Orders by Hon. PMG Vadodara region for terminating all deputations in all dns were also sent for ready reference. Staff side was assured that orders in Rajkot region for terminating all deputations in DO or any other offices will be issued after resumption of New PMG sir. This is very crucial item. Dnl heads font put unjustifiable cases in committees for rotational transfers and adopt short cut of ordering deputations on personal considerations and many other undescribable grounds. We hop this item wikk be attended on top priority otherwise "selective cases of deputations" will now be regularised. 


Item No.3

REVIEW OF ALL CASES REGARDING UNSERVICEABLE PO BUILDINGS IN RAJKOT REGION.


In previous bimonthly meeting, it was taken on record but no fruitful result have come. List of cases was also submitted in last meeting as well as a memorandum. It is requested to review all such cases.


Item No.4

REQUEAT FOR ACKNOWLWDGEMENT AND FOLLOW UP ACTION AND FURTHER REPLY ON UNION LETTERS BY R.O. RAJKOT.


It was previously also discussed but no acknowledgement is issued for any mail/letter (except one letter recently by Hon. DPS). It is requested to guide concerned staff.


Item No.5

REQUEST FOR PROMPT FINALISATIONS OF INVESTIGATION, CLIR AND JUSTICIED & JUDICIOUS IDENTIFICATION OF SUBSIDIARY OFFENDERS


For Example: Alleged fraud by GDS BPM Tad occurred in 2014. SPM Delvada was transferred at Govt cost to Ghantvad on account of this case, though his tenure was not completed. After long gap in 2017, Hon. DPS Rajkot visited Tad BO for CLIR and orally asked to depute SPM Ghantvad at govt cost to the distance not less than 100 Km. Deputed to Malia Hatina SO. Then order was given not to post him in single handed PO. Then, Hon. SPO Junagadh transferred him from Ghantvad to more important and big office with more BOs (Sutrapada) at Govt cost to comply with orders of Hon. DPS! The official is non LSG and office was already identified as LSG. The SPM who was working at Sutrapada was transferred at Govt cost just in Rotational transfers 2016 and was working there since less then one year. 


The official is now declared as 'Subsidiary offender' and his application for voluntary retirement has to be rejeced. Yet no Charge sheet has been issued and we afraid it will be issued too late which hampers benefits of promotion for longer time and delay acceptance of VRS application.


In other case, a PM was ordered recovery of 1 lac rupees for loss of an unsold NSC. There is no loss. No encashment. No possibility of black listed NSC. Case was quite old. But Hon. SP Junagadh was unkind, very late and ordered such a big recovery from Shri. A.B.Jani PM in 2017.


Individuals will represent/might have represented their cases and our intention is not to represent individuals. These are selective examples only.


We think there might be other cases in various divisions and therefore it is requested to collect information and cause immediate follow up actions in loss & fraud cases.


As there is long gap in meeting, in addition to admissible three items, few more items will be sent soon.


Few Divisional secretaries would also come on the day of meeting and would like to exchange constructive submissions.


Following office bearers will attend:



S K Vaishnav Circle President: 

PM Gondal HO

Cabinet approves recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances

Press Information Bureau
 Government Of India

Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)
(28-June, 2017 20:05 IST )


Cabinet approves recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances 


The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi approved the recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances with some modifications. The revised rates of the allowances shall come into effect from 1st July, 2017 and shall affect more than 48 lakh central government employees.

While approving the recommendations of the 7th CPC on 29th June, 2016, the Cabinet had decided to set up the Committee on Allowances (CoA) in view of substantial changes in the existing provisions and a number of representations received. The modifications are based on suggestions made by the CoA in its Report submitted to Finance Minister on 27th April, 2017 and the Empowered Committee of Secretaries set up to screen the recommendations of 7th CPC.

7th CPC recommendations on Allowances

The 7th CPC had adopted a three-pronged approach in examining a total of 197 allowances which involved an assessment of the need for continuation of each allowance, appropriateness of the set of people covered by the allowance and rationalisation which involved clubbing of allowances with similar objectives. Based on the examination on these lines, the 7thCPC recommended that 53 allowances be abolished and 37 be subsumed in an existing or a newly proposed allowance.

For most of the allowances that were retained, the 7th CPC recommended a raise commensurate with inflation as reflected in the rates of Dearness Allowance (DA). Accordingly, 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.

A new paradigm has been evolved to administer the allowances linked to risk and hardship. The myriad allowances, their categories and sub–categories pertaining to  civilians employees, CAPF and defence personnel have been fitted into a table called the Risk and Hardship Matrix (R&H Matrix). The Matrix has nine cells denoting varying degrees of risk and hardship with one extra cell at the top named as RH - Max to include Siachen Allowance. Multiple rates applicable to individual allowances will be replaced by two slab rates for every cell of the R&H Matrix.

Modifications approved by the Cabinet

The modifications approved today were finalised by the E-CoS based on the recommendations of the CoA. The CoA had undertaken extensive stakeholder consultations before finalising its recommendations. It had interacted with Joint Consultative Machinery (Staff side) and representatives from various staff associations. Most of the modifications are on account of continuing requirement of some of the existing arrangements, administrative exigencies and to further the rationalization of the allowances structure.

Financial Implications



The modifications approved by the Government in the recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances will lead to a modest increase of ₹1448.23 crore per annum over the projections made by the 7th CPC. The 7th CPC, in its Report, had projected the additional financial implication on allowances at ₹29,300 crore per annum. The combined additional financial implication on account of the 7th CPC recommendations along with the modifications approved by the Cabinet is estimated at ₹30748.23 crore per annum.



Highlights of Cabinet approval on Allowances



1.        Number of allowances recommended to be abolished and subsumed:

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 will benefit over one lakh employees belonging to specific categories in Railways, Posts, Defence and Scientific Departments.

2.        House Rent Allowance

HRA is currently paid @ 30% for X (population of 50 lakh & above), 20% for Y (5 to 50 lakh) and 10% for Z (below 5 lakh) category of cities. 7th CPC has recommended reduction in the existing rates to 24% for X, 16% for Y and 8% for Z category of cities. As the HRA at the reduced rates may not be sufficient for employees falling in lower pay bracket, it has been decided that HRA shall not be less than ₹5400,₹3600 and ₹1800 for X, Y and Z category of cities respectively. This floor rate has been calculated @ 30%, 20% and 10% of the minimum pay of ₹18000. This will benefit more than 7.5 lakh employees belonging to Levels 1 to 3.

7th CPC had also 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 will benefit all employees who do not reside in government accommodation and get HRA.

3.        Siachen Allowance

7th CPC had placed Siachen Allowance in the RH-Max cell of the R&H Matrix with two slabs of ₹21,000 and ₹31,500. Recognizing the extreme nature of risk and hardship faced by officers / PBORs on continuous basis in Siachen, the Government has decided to further enhance the rates of Siachen Allowance which will now go up from the existing rate from ₹14,000 to ₹30,000 per month for Jawans & JCOs (Level 8 and below) and from ₹21,000 to ₹42,500 per month for Officers (Level 9 and above). With this enhancement, Siachen Allowance will become more than twice the existing rates. It will benefit all the soldiers and officers of Indian Army who are posted in Siachen.



4.        Dress Allowance

At present, various types of allowances are paid for provisioning and maintenance of uniforms/outfits such as Washing Allowance, Uniform Allowance, Kit Maintenance Allowance, Outfit Allowance etc. These have been rationalised and subsumed in newly proposed Dress Allowance to be paid annually in four slabs @ ₹5000,₹10,000, ₹15,000 and ₹20,000 per annum for various category of employees. This allowance will continue to be paid to Nurses on a monthly basis in view of high maintenance and hygiene requirements. Government has decided to pay higher rate of Dress Allowance to SPG personnel keeping in view the existing rates of Uniform Allowance paid to them (which is higher than the rates recommended by the 7th CPC) as also their specific requirements. The rates for specific clothing for different categories of employees will be governed separately.

5.        Tough Location Allowance

Some allowances based on geographical location such as Special Compensatory (Remote Locality) Allowance (SCRLA), Sunderban Allowance & Tribal Area Allowance have been subsumed in Tough Location Allowance. The areas under TLA have been classified into three categories and the rates will be governed as per different cells of R&H Matrix and will be in the range of ₹1000 - ₹5300 per month. 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.

6.                     Recommendations in respect of some important allowances paid to all employees:

(i)                  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.

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

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



7.        Recommendations in respect of some important allowances paid to         Uniformed Services: Defence, CAPFs, Police, Indian Coast Guard and    Security Agencies



                    i.                        The 7th CPC has recommended abolition of Ration Money Allowance (RMA) and free ration to Defence officers posted in peace areas. It has been decided that Ration Money Allowance will continue to be paid to them and directly credited to their account. It will benefit 43000 Defence officers.



                  ii.                        Technical Allowance (Tier - I & II) are paid to Defence officers belonging to technical branches @₹3000 per month and ₹4500 per month. 7th CPC has recommended that Technical Allowance (Tier - II) be merged with Higher Qualification Incentive for Defence personnel. In view of the specific requirements of Defence Forces for the Defence personnel to keep pace with changing Defence requirements and technologies, the  Government has decided not to discontinue Technical Allowance. The list of courses for these allowances will be reviewed to remain in sync with the latest technical advancements in Defence.



                iii.                        The facility of one additional free railway warrant (Leave Travel Concession) presently granted to personnel of Defence Forces serving in  field/high altitude/CI Ops shall also be extended to all personnels of CAPFs and the Indian Coast Guard.

                    i.                        The rate of Constant Attendance Allowance granted on 100% disablement has been increased from ₹4500 per month to ₹6750 per month.



11.       Allowances to Scientific Departments



              i.                              The recommendations of 7th CPC to abolish Launch Campaign Allowance and Space Technology Allowancehas not been accepted. In order to incentivize the supporting employees in Space and Atomic Energy sector, the rate of Launch Campaign and Space Technology Allowancehas been increased from ₹7500 per annum to ₹11250 per annum.Professional Update Allowance for non-gazetted employees of Department of Atomic Energy will also continue to be paid at the enhanced rate of ₹11250 per annum.



                  ii.                     The 7th CPC had placed Antarctica Allowance, paid to the Scientists and other members undertaking the expedition to Antarctica under the Indian Antarctic programme, in the RH-Max Cell of the R&H Matrix. The rates of the RH-Max Cell recommended by the 7th CPC were less than the existing rates of Antarctica Allowance which is currently paid on per day basis. Considering the specific nature of these expeditions and to provide appropriate increase in rates, Government has decided to keep Antarctica Allowance out of the R&H Matrix and the allowance will continue to be paid on per day basis as per existing practice. The Rates of Antarctica Allowance will go up from ₹1125 per day (Summers) and ₹1688 per day (Winters) to ₹1500 per day (Summers) and ₹2000 per day (Winters).



12.                  Allowances paid to D/o Posts



                    i.                        The recommendations of 7th CPC to abolish Cycle Allowance, granted     mainly to Postmen and trackmen in Railways, has not been accepted. Keeping in view the specific requirement of this allowance for postmen in Department of Posts and trackmen in Railways, the cycle allowance is retained and the rates have been doubled from ₹90 per month to ₹180 per month. This will benefit more than 22,200 employees.

Conclusion



While increasing the rate of allowances affecting the central government employees, especially the Defence, CAPF and Coast Guard personnel, the staff of Railways, Postal department and nursing staff, the total number of allowances have been rationalized from 197 to 128. Thus, the Government has shown a great deal of fiscal prudence and at the same time addressed the genuine concerns of the employees and responded to some of the administrative exigencies necessitating the modifications.

Respected Sir,
Namaskar. There will be number of transfers on account of postings of LSG officials at LSG offices and transfer of Non LSG officials presently working at such LSG offices.

In such cases, it is requested to issue instructions to cause calling for choice station's applications from all officials who are liable to be posted at LSG offices or to be sent out of such LSG offices. A detail of LSG offices and other relevant details of vacancies at non LSG posts & offices may also be supplied to provide chance for choosing correct office for transfer. This may save govt cost also besides comforts of officials concerned.

Urging acknowledgment and kind action.
