Fixing Very Good as Benchmark for granting MACP is not acceptable-Shiva Gopal Mishra

AIRF
All India Railwaymen Federation
D.O.No.AIRF/MACPSDated: May 22, 2017
Dear Shri Mittal Ji,

Sub: Recommendations of 7th CPC on benchmark for the purpose of MACPS – Clarification reg.
Ref.: Railway Board’s letter No.PC-V/2016/MACPS/1 dated 19.05.2017

This issue has been discussed with you on several occasions individually as well as jointly, where I mentioned that, the Cabinet Secretary has agreed to us that, the Railways being working under different working conditions, and for operation of the trains, a flow process system is in vogue, that is the reason, in the selections for various posts and categories; bench marking system had been introduced after VI CPC when DoP&T issued instructions that, financial upgradation under MACPS should be based on “Very Good” benchmark. Even DoP&T agreed that the same benchmark should be used for MACPS which is in vogue for selection in case of the Railway employees.

Now, it is a matter of utter surprise that, on the reference as well as reply from the DoP&T, the Railways had issued instructions for “Very Good” benchmark for financial upgradation under MACPS. This issue is very sensitive and will definitely create lots of agitations because, in the MACPS benchmark of “Very Good” will be considered for consecutive three years. In most of the cases employees will be deprived of from MACPS. Since Railways are working in a flow process system, wherein, instead of individual contribution, joint contribution of the employees has their weightage.
We sincerely hope that, you will kindly intervene in the matter and as has been advised by the Cabinet Secretary, the same benchmark, which is prevalent for selection should be in vogue in case of MACPS also.

Yours sincerely,

Granting of Half day Casual leave - Rulings

Granting of Half day Casual leave
for the grant of half-day's casual leave, the lunch interval is to be the dividing line, i.e., a person who takes half-day's casual leave for forenoon session is required to come to office on at 2.00 P.M ( at 1.30 pm in case of offices which open at 9.30 p.m)

Similarly, If a person takes leave for afternoon session, he can be allowed to leave office at 1.30 p.m ( at 1.00 p.m in the case of offices opening at 9.30 a.m).

In offices which follow different office hour/lunch time, head of office may decide as to what would be the dividing line for the grant of half-day's casual leave.

Sunday 21 May 2017

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) is expected to convene next week to ponder on the 7th CPC recommendations before being presented before the Union Cabinet for their nod.

Central government employees will have to wait for yet another week to receive any update on the revised allowance structure as recommended by the 7th Pay Commission. The Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) is expected to convene next week to ponder on the recommendations before being presented before the Union Cabinet for their nod.The 7th pay commission had proposed a total of 196 allowances; a Committee of Allowances was formed under the Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa to screen them. On April 24 this year, the Committee submitted its report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, recommending that 52 allowances suggested by the pay commission be entirely scrapped and 36 of them be incorporated with other allowances instead of dealing with them separately.
The recommendations made by the Lavasa-led review committee regarding allowance structure were to be tabled before the E-CoS after consideration by Department of Expenditure. Following which committee of secretaries will table the proposal for implementing the recommendations made by the 7th pay commission, complete with the suggestions from Committee of Allowances, will be presented before the Cabinet for approval.


Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha will preside over the E-CoS meet, as per reports. Officials from Home Affairs, Finance, Health and Family Welfare, Railways, Personnel and Training and Post will also take part in the meeting.Central government employees have been waiting for months for an update on the allowances suggested by the 7th pay commission. It was rumoured earlier this week that some union ministers might meet some senior officials to seek updates on the recommendations, inciting expectations in the Centre staff and pensioners.
The employees’ union has been pressing for an update. A member of the union informed that they are hopeful that the proposal regarding the allowances would be cleared by next week. Government sources informed that the E-CoS is looking into the recommendations on allowances made by the 7th Pay Commission. It would submit its report to the Union Cabinet following which the same would be cleared the source also confirmed.


However, reports of no such meeting were confirmed by either the Finance Ministry or officials who sat in the review committee, adding to the month-long frustration that central government employees waiting for an update since the report landed in the Finance Ministry.

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions,

North Block,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,
Sub: Extension of time limit for forwarding anomalies of the 7th CPC for consideration in the National Anomalies Committee
It is a matter of regret that, recommendations of the Committee on Allowances have not yet been made known to the JCM(Staff Side).

As we have already explained at various levels, including Secretary(DoP&T), Cabinet Secretary(Government of India), etc., that the anomalies cannot be formulated without analyzing the recommendations of the Committee on Allowances. Unfortunately, till today nothing has been done by the Ministry of Finance(Exp.). In the absence of recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances, Staff Side(JCM) cannot furnish agenda for the National Anomalies Committee up to 15.05.2017.
It would, therefore, be in all appropriateness that, the date fixed by the DoP&T for submission of agenda to the National Anomalies Committee till 15.05.2017 should be postponed and the same should be fixed in consultation with the Staff Side(JCM) after receipt of recommendations of the Committee on Allowances.

Yours faithfully

Pension Arrears Calculator as Per New Formulation 1

As per the DoPPW order dated 12th may 2017, Pension can be calculated from two formulations for pre-2016 Pensioners. Now it has been decided that Pension may be revised by notionally fixing their pay in the pay matrix recommended by the 7th CPC in the level corresponding to the pay in the pay scale/pay band and grade pay at which they retired/died. If fixing the Pension by this method is beneficial than the Pension revised by Using Option II , Arrears should be paid from 1st January 2016
According to Para.No.17 of DoPPW order dated 12th May 2017, the arrears on account of revision of pension/family pension in terms of these orders would be admissible with effect from 01.01.2016.
So the Pension Arrears Calculator provided below show you the difference between the amount of Pension arrived from two Options. If New formulation (Option No.I) is beneficial than Option No.II (Fixed by Multiplying with 2.57) arrears will be paid. Otherwise, there will be no need for payment of arrears.
