7th Pay Commission: Betrayed of 18 months allowance, govt employees to stage nation-wide protest
7th Pay Commission: Betrayed of 18 months allowance, govt employees to stage nation-wide protest
There would be nation wide protests by central government employees starting from July 1 against the HRA recommendations made as per the 7th Pay Commission by the Union Cabinet.
The NDA government has once again betrayed all the central government employees said M Krishnan, secretary general of the Confederation national Secretariat.
He said that the demand of the employees to restore HRA to 30, 20 & 10% was denied. Date of effect for allowances is fixed as 01-07-2017 denying 18 months arrears. The BJP lead NDA Government deliberately delayed the legitimate right of the employees. The assurance given by Cabinet Ministers regarding increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula is also not honoured till date. NDA Government is the worst Government as far as employees and workers are concerned, he further added. Confederation National Secretariat calls upon entire Central Govt Employees to hold demonstrations in front of all Central Govt Offices protesting against the anti-employees, anti-workers stand of the NDA Government, a note read. The employees are also unhappy with the date set by the Cabinet for the rollout of allowances. It should have been July 2016. The Cabinet instead went to announce the rollout from July 2017, employees say. After a 12 month wait the government has decided to implement the Allowances without any hike with effect from 1st July 2017 . It is tough decision for us to accept they said.
Government Decision on HRA HRA is currently paid at 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. The 7th Pay Commission had 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.
The 7th Pay Commission 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. OneIndia NewsRead More ->>

Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner – To know the Difference between 6th CPC and 7th CPC
Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner – To know the Difference between 6th CPC and 7th CPC
We are in the process of Preparing Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner to know the amount of TA to be paid in 7th pay Commission.
In our previous Post, [ See ]We have brought one issue to the light that the Government Servants placed in Level 1 and Level 2 and Pay in PB equivalent to 7440 and above in Sixth CPC will be getting less amount of Transport Allowance in 7th CPC than 6th CPC.
Transport Allowance Rates in Sixth CPC
There were Five Grade pay Levels in PB-I ie Rs.1800, Rs.1900, Rs.2000 and Rs.2400 and Rs.2800 All these GPs were brought under one Group for Transport Allowance at Lower rate, subject to not exceeding Rs.7440 Pay in the Pay band
In Sixth CPC those who were in the category of GP below 4200 and Pay band below 7440 were entitled for TA only at the Rate of Rs.600+DA for A1/A cities and Rs.300+DA for other cities. But The sixth CPC had relaxed the condition for this Group to get Transport Allowance at the next higher rate of Rs.1600 for A1/A cities and Rs.800 for other cities. Those who Reached the Rs.7440 PB level and above were entitled for the above-mentioned rates.
Groups realigned for Higher TA rates
Now, the 7th CPC might have thought that there is no point in Keeping the GP 2000, GP 2400, GP 2800 Levels at Lower TA rate, as they would become entitled for next higher rate of Transport Allowance at the initial stage itself. So it was a wise decision to bring them into the Group that is eligible for Transport Allowance at the rate of Rs.3600 +DA [Higher TPTA Cities] and Rs.1800+DA [other Places] in 7th CPC.
But, though the lowest Two Grade Pay Levels (Pre-Revised Rs.1800 GP and 1900 GP) are made eligible for TA @ Rs.1350+DA [ Higher TPTA Cities] and Rs.900+DA [Other Places] in 7th CPC, there are cases that some Govt Servants those were in 1900 GP and crossed 7440 were drawing TA at the rate of 1600+DA in Sixth CPC. Now they will be entitled for TA at the rate of Rs.1350+DA in Seventh CPC.
Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner Coming soon
So it will be useful, if Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner for both Sixth CPC and 7th CPC is available. So that we can find the difference between amount of TA in Revised and Pre-Revised Rates. We are currently in the process of finalising Transport Allowance Ready Reckoner. We will publish the 7th CPC TA Ready Reckoner as soon as possible.

Nearly 75 Crore person days of work has already been created and more is expected by 15th July, 2017. This means that nearly 80 lakhs to 1 crore workers are coming everyday for work in different parts of the country under MGNREGS. Over 86% of them are paid within 15 days. This is a remarkable improvement compared to earlier years. 99% payments are on the electronic Financial Management System (e-FMS). The Central Government has ensured timely release of funds and States have responded by strengthening the implementation machinery to provide timely payments.
The thrust on agriculture and allied activities, is showing at the field level with 74% expenditure on these works. 2,264 water stressed blocks have received special attention for Natural Resource Management, Water Harvesting and Water Conservation. 2.62 lakh water conservation works have been completed in the Current Financial Year including 1,31,789 Farm Ponds across the country. MGNREGS has created over 91 lakh hectares irrigation potential in the last 2 years which is currently being evaluated by the Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), New Delhi. The report is expected by 30th September, 2017.
1.45 crore assets of MGNREGS have been geo-tagged so far and are in the public domain. 5.2 crore workers are already on the Aadhar-based Payment System (ABPS) and over 9 crore workers have seeded their Aadhar details with consent in NREGA Soft MIS. 87% job cards have been verified and 1.1 crore job cards have been deleted so far after giving reasons. There has been a registration of 89 lakh new job cards to ensure that deprived households get work.
24 States have set up independent Social Audit Units and 3100 State Resource Persons have been trained to conduct social audit as per auditing standards. Large scale training of Self-Help Group women as Village Resource Persons for social audit is being undertaken. 5,245 Bare Foot Technicians (BFT) have been trained so far in 19 States to provide technical support at field level. Stress has been laid on public information and Citizen Information Boards at all work sites is being ensured. Record maintenance has been simplified and over 90% Gram Panchayats have already adopted the simplified seven Registers.
Concerted efforts to move MGNREGS workers on the skilling ladder through placement-based wage employment under DDUGKY and self-employment with Bank linkage through Rural Self-Employment Training Institutes (RESTIs) have also been going on effectively across the States. Diversification of livelihoods through women Self-Help Groups is the core thrust of MGNREGS for sustainable economic well-being of the poor households.

Shri Shivagopal Mishra extended thanks to the Government for restoring 34 allowances
General Secretary, All India Railwaymen’s Federation and Secretary, Staff Side(JCM), Shri Shiva Gopal Mishra, welcomed decision of the Union Cabinet for restoring rates of House Rent Allowance @ 10%,20% and 30% to the Central Government Employees covered from levels 1 to 3, “however, demand of the Staff Side(JCM) for similar rate of HRA to other Group `C’ staff should also have been acceded to”, he added.
Shri Mishra applauded the decision of the Central Government for amending 50% DA barrier for increasing HRA @ 09%, 18% and 27% when DA exceeds 25% as also @ 10%, 20% and 30% on Dearness Allowance exceeding 50%. He further added that, “similar principle could have been adopted on other allowances which are DA indexed”.
Shri Mishra also thanked the government for restoring 34 allowances, particularly from the Railways 12 allowances, including Breakdown Allowance, Nursing Allowance, Trip Allowance, Additional Allowance, Cycle Allowance as also Special Allowance to Trackmen, Section Controllers and Loco Pilot (Goods) and Sr. Passenger Guards on enhanced rates.
Shri Mishra, however, emphasized that, main demand of the Central Government Employees for increasing Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula as well as Guaranteed Minimum Pension for the Central Government Employees, appointed on or after 01.01.2004, should also be considered by the government sympathetically and orders to this effect be issued at an earliest in view of the widespread anxiety and discontentment prevailing among the Central Government Employees.
He appreciated the government for increasing the rate of Fixed Medical Allowance from Rs.500 p.m. to Rs.1000 p.m.
Shri Mishra further said that, Staff Side(JCM) is thankful to the government for increasing various allowances for Nursing Staff and extending Patient Care Allowance to Ministerial Staff working in the hospitals, and at the same time hopeful for increasing the same for other categories of staff also.

STANDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS, STAFF SIDE NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM, REPRESENTING CONFEDERATION DISAGREE AND DISOWN THE STATEMENT OF SRI. SHIV GOPAL MISRA, SECRETARY, STAFF SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM
DATED – 30.06.2017
STANDING
COMMITTEE MEMBERS, STAFF SIDE NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM, REPRESENTING CONFEDERATION
DISAGREE AND DISOWN THE STATEMENT OF SRI. SHIV GOPAL MISRA, SECRETARY, STAFF
SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM
It was extremely unfortunate that the Staff Side Secretary through his
press statement issued yesterday has chosen to praise the Modi Government over
the decisions it had taken on various demands of the Central Govt. employees.
The said statement was issued apparently without causing any consultation
either formally or informally with the other members of the Staff Side, in any
case not at all in consultation with the signatories of this
statement. We, being the members of the Standing Committee,
emphatically disagree and distance ourselves from the position taken by him in
the Press Statement.
There had been no justification for the 7th CPC to
reduce the rate of HRA by an imagined factor of 0.8. Neither during the
discussions, the staff side had with the committee headed by the Expenditure
Secretary, nor in the press release issued after the Cabinet meeting, the Govt.
had advanced any logic for their decision to restore the rate of HRA
only for those who draw pay at the level of Rs.18000. There had been no
appreciation of any of the concerns or issues raised by the staff side and
whatever decisions so far taken by the Govt. was inconsonance with the views
and recommendations of the top echelons of the bureaucracy, be in
the matter of allowances, minimum wage, fitment factor, rejection of
option no.1 for the pensioners or withdrawal of NPS. There is no
justification, whatsoever, for denial of arrears of HRA with effect from
01.01.2016.
The highly defective computation of minimum wage by the 7th CPC
and the consequent denial of a reasonable wage structure, withdrawal of
existing allowances and benefits, virtual abrogation of the time bound
promotion to the lower category of employees; rejection of option No. 1 to
pensioners, refusal to grant atleast a minimum guaranteed pension
under NPS, denial of arrears of HRA from 01.01.2016 require
the strongest condemnation.
The fact that decisions taken by the Govt. on 7th CPC
issues are clear reflections of Modi Government's. anti- labour attitude ought
to have been, what the staff side secretary conveyed through his press release.
His statement has, as stated earlier sadly reflects the total disconnect
between the common Central Govt. employees and JCM staff side leadership.
Had it been the statement on behalf of the AIRF, we would not have issued this denouncement at all, as we consider that it is the prerogative of each organisation to view things in their perspective and formulate their opinions.

CONFEDERATION DISOWNS THE STATEMENT OF SECRETARY, STAFF SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM
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.

Transport Allowance will be lower in 7th CPC
Transport Allowance will be lower in 7th CPC
As Media publicized, the Revised Allowances will not make Central Govt Employees happy and its not a Bonanza too. Most of the Allowances , especially the fully DA indexed Allowances are not given any hike. The Govt servants will be getting more or less same amount from this Fully DA indexed Allowances after the revision in Seventh CPC.
Transport Allowance will be lower in 7th CPC
The Transport Allowance, one of such Allowance of fully DA indexed, is giving a shock to All Employees those who are entitled to get this Allowance. Surprisingly, there is a marginal decrease in the amount of TA to be paid in 7th CPC after the Revision. But, Shockingly, the Govt Servants in Level 1 and 2 category are losing considerable amount after the revision of Transport Allowance in 7th CPC
If you calculate your 7th CPC Transport Allowance, you can able to know the difference between the amount of Transport Allowance paid in 6th CPC and to be paid in 7th CPC
It is observed that there is a marginal decrease in 7th CPC Transport Allowance for the Level 3 and above.
Whereas for Level 1 and 2 , It is a different story. They will be getting less amount of Money after switching over to 7th CPC.
The Employees those who were in 1800 GP and 1900 GP and pay in the pay band equivalent to Rs.7440 and above will be losing considerable amount on switching over to 7th CPC.
For Example, we calculate amount of TA in both Sixth CPC and 7th CPC for a government servant who fall under this category.
It is surely not a bonanza for govt servants those who fall under the Category of GP 1800 and GP 1900 with pay in the pay band equivalent to Rs.7440 and above. They will be losing Rs .2372 in 7th CPC because of this Pay Revision.
It is quite unreasonable. The very purpose of the Pay Revision is to give Hike not reduction. The Federation need to take this issue up to the appropriate Level to settle this favorably.
