DA Merger would have been more beneficial than Pay Commission

DA MERGER WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE BENEFICIAL THAN PAY COMMISSION

The 7th CPC submitted its report in November 2015. The Empowered Committee of Secretaries blocked it for 7 long months. Finally the cabinet approved the report without any modification, The Gazette Notification on the pay and allowances of employees was issued on 25-07-2016. The same minimum pay of Rs.18000/- The same multiplication factor of 2.57. Absolutely no change.

Let us now analyse what would have been the case, had 50% of Dearness Allowance / Dearness Relief been merged with pay / pension with effect from 01-11-2011. DA merger had taken place before implementation of 5th and 6th CPC Recommendations.

AIAPS(GL) write the letter to the CPMG regarding the pay fixation loss because of not implementing the directorate one time relaxation promotional order

Dear Postmaster Grade officials,

                   Because of not implementing the one time relaxation promotional order of the directorate, many promotion due Postmaster cadre officials are going to be severely affected while exercise the new pay under revised pay rules 2016.

                   Regarding that letter shall be submitted to the CPMG, Tamilnadu circle and scanned copy shall be published in this blog soon.

                  Same kind of letter may kindly be submitted to every circles which were not implemented the directorate one time relaxation order.

                  Letter is produced below...

To,

        The Honorable Chief Postmaster General,

        Tamilnadu Circle,

        Chennai 600002.

No : AIAPS /2016-2017 dated at Triplicane the 02.08.2016

Respected sir,

        Subject : Request to implement the directorate orders to promote the Postmaster Grade officials under one time relaxation -reg

Ref : Directorate letter No. 04-43/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg, New Delhi the 28.04.2016

         Vide above reference directorate order, it is ordered to promote the Postmaster Grade officials in the following manner as a onetime measure on 28^th April 2016.

Sl. No	Promoted from	Promoted to	Required service as per onetime relaxation order	Remarks Regular/Adhoc promotion
1	Postmaster Grade I	Postmaster Grade II	5 years	Regular
2	Postmaster Grade I	Postmaster Grade II	3 years	Adhoc
3	Postmaster Grade II	Postmaster Grade III	4 years	Regular
4	Postmaster Grade II	Postmaster Grade III	2.5 years	Adhoc

        Even after the lapses of 3 months, because of not implementing the above directorate order many of the postmaster cadre officials are in severe loss while exercising the pay fixation options as per the Revised Pay rules 2016 without promotional hike.

        One illustrative example for the basic pay hike with and without promotions is produced below to get the due attention of the circle administration.

Promoting the official from PM1 to PM2 on or before 25.7.16 (amount in figures)		Promoting the official from PM 1 to PM2 after 25.7.16 (amount in figures)
Before 25.7.16 old basic pay =	11430	After 25.7.16 Pay [(11430+2800)*2.57] =	36571
Grade Pay =	2800	Fixing in the L5 (G.P Rs2800) =	37000
Getting PM Grade II promotion within 25.7.16 11430 + G.P Rs.4200 =	15630	Getting PM Grade II promotion one increment (next cell in L-5 G.P Rs2800) =	38100
One notional increment 15630 * 3%=	16100	Fixing in level – 6 of G.P Rs.4200 (PM Grade II) =	38700
Multiplying with fitment forumula 2.57*16100=	41377
Fixing in Level 6 as per the G.P of Rs.4200 for PM GrII	42300
Total loss in pay itself Rs42300-Rs38700 = 3600

        The above illustrative tables is only to the Basic Pay loss, if proportionate loss is calculated to the DA and HRA promotion due postmasters might have affected with nearly Rs.5000 loss per month. Because of the severe loss, this association is receiving so many objections from the staff side and Postmaster cadre officials might have loss nearly Rs.5000 per month for lengthy 10 years till the next pay commission.

So this association is requesting the hon’ble Chief Postmaster general to promote the Postmaster Grade officials on war foot basis and once again fresh option may kindly be asked to exercise the new pay rules 2016 after the above said promotions since delay is occurred because of the administrative procedures not because of the official side.

A line in reply would be highly solicited.

Triplicane

02.08.2016                                                             Yours faithfully,

                                                                              (K. Ayyavoo)

Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 1697 on Gramin Dak Sevak

No annual increment for non-performing employees: Government

Non-performing Central government employees will not get annual increment if their performance is not upto the mark, the Centre has said. 

The benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and financial upgradation has been enhanced to "very good" from "good" level, the Finance Ministry said in an order notifying implementation of Seventh Central Pay Commission's recommendations. 

Not appropriate to compare the 7th panel with previous ones

The government said it is "not appropriate" to compare the increase in minimum pay suggested by the 7th Central Pay Commission with that of the previous commissions. 

According to the 7th Pay Commission, the real increase given in 1996 and 2006 in minimum pay was 31 per cent and 51 per cent. As compared to that, the commission recommended an increase of 14.29 per cent.
