INDIA POST BANK TO OPEN DOORS IN MARCH 2017 WITH INFOSYS FINACLE

India Post Bank has been given the go-ahead to start processing payments in 2017 following a number of lengthily delays.

The post office’s financial services are seen as a viable provider for India’s rural population, of which a majority do not have access to banking.

230 million Indians, however, do hold savings accounts with the Post Office, which has 139,144 locations across rural areas of the country.

7th CPC : Arrears to be paid in one instalment

New Delhi: The central government employees and pensioners will get arrears of the Seventh Pay Commission in one instalment, besides their pay hike.

The Implementation Cell in Finance ministry will submit a report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to pay the arrears of the Seventh Pay Commission in one installment.

According to sources, the Implementation Cell in Finance ministry will submit a report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on arrears payment of the Seventh Pay Commission in a single installment along with the reviews of whole pay commission report.

The entire concept of ‘arrears of pay’ has shot into the lime light as a result of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission that has been released in November, proposed a 23.55% increase in pay, allowances and pension for 4.8 million central government employees and 5.5 million pensioners, which have resulted in a pay hike of central government employees with a retrospective effect from January 1, 2016.

According to reports,The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are expected to add Rs 73,650 crore or 0.65 percent of the GDP in the first year, to the government’s expenditure. In line with the recommendations of the Commission, the government will pay hike salaries as well as pensions.

Also, the recommendations of the Commission come into effect from 1 January, 2016. They will be implemented from 1 April, 2016. Hence, arrears for the three months of January to March 2016 will also have to be paid. This is likely to amount to Rs 18,412.5 crore (Rs 73,650 divided by four). This pushes up the total extra expenditure due to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission to Rs 92,062.5 crore (Rs 73,650 crore plus Rs 18,412.5 crore).

Discontinue The Practice Of Appointing Pay Commissions Every 10 Years – AK Mathur

Discontinue the Practice of Appointing Pay Commissions every 10 years – According to Mathur, this could be avoided if a system of annual salary hikes — as in the private sector — is implemented for government staff as well.

The Centre could discontinue the practice of appointing pay commissions every 10 years to suggest salary revisions for its staff, justice AK Mathur, chairman of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (7th CPC), said. Instead, he said, the government could have a mechanism for annual increment in salaries, taking into account all aspects including the consumer prices. While the dearness allowance offsets the impact of retail inflation on the salaries of government employees, the salary increases are now accorded by way of the pay commission-awarded “fitment” factor and annual increment.

Key initiatives of the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT)

YEAR ENDER 2015

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has taken various initiatives during the year 2015. These initiatives aim at working in the direction of larger public interest and to establish accountability and transparency.

In a landmark decision, the Government scrapped Interviews for recruitment to lower posts wherever it could be dispensed with. This was followed by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Dr. Jitendra Singh writing D.O. letters to Chief Ministers of all States in September to take the lead in carrying forward this initiative with respect to State Government jobs.

Why implementing the Seventh Pay Commission recommendation is a herculean challenge

By Shantanu Nandan Sharma, ET Bureau | 20 Dec, 2015, 07.00AM IST

Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, a former Supreme Court judge and chairman of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC), has returned to his home town Jodhpur in Rajasthan after spending two years in Delhi and submitting a 900-page humongous report recommending a hike in pay, allowances and pension for 47 lakh government employees and 52 lakh pensioners.

Even as the government kickstarts the process of implementing the report, something that will cost the exchequer over Rs 1 lakh crore, Mathur nowa-days hears only the disgruntled voices.

He continues to read complaints in newspapers and hears deep anxiety among civil servants over phone calls. 

Wage hike in 7th Pay Commission

Comrades ,

The 7th CPC has cheated the 35 lakhs Central Government Employees and 50 lakhs pensioners, by announcing meagre 14.29% wage hike, in actual term of increase for serving employees after deduction of Income tax, enhanced subscription of CGEIS, licence fee, CGHS etc the net increase is actually varies from 1% to 4 % increase.

The similar situation was existing for central Government employees during the 5th CPC , as the 5th CPC had recommended 20% wage hike after strike notice was served then the Third Front Government agreed to provide 40% wage hike, recently the 6th CPC had provided 54% wage hike.This is lowest wage hike by any pay commission.

The Central Government Employees are having 10 years wage revision against the basic principle of 5 years wage revision adopted by all other Government agency such as Banks Employees, PSU employees etc. The bank employees were initially offered around 10% wage hike , after sustained trade union action they got 15% wage hike from with effect from 1st November 2012. Cumulatively it works out to more than 35 % wage hike for 10 years. The AP and Telangana state government employees got recently 40 % wage hike the pay commission of AP had also adopted Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms and fixed at Rs 13,000/- minimum wage as on 1st July 2013 , if we calculate the minimum wage on this basis for the Central Government Employees the minimum wage works out to Rs 25,000/- and fitment formula of 3.57 .

Comrades let us fight united under the NJCA banner to achieve a decent wage hike, the 7th CPC has erred in the calculation of minimum wage for the Central Government Employees it has fixed at Rs 18000/ against the staff side demand of Rs 26,000/-. while calculating the minimum wage as per Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms the 7th CPC has taken wrong prices of the essential items for example the price of one kg of pulses as Rs 97.84 against the market price of Rs 180/- , similarly the price of one kg of rice and wheat as Rs 25.93 against the market price of Rs 50/- & Rs 40, and 7th CPC has modified the Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms. The 7th CPC has taken 125% DA into consideration, at present the DA is likely to cross 125% , the prices of essential commodity including rice and pulses are showing increase in last month and further rise due to floods and draught in many states.

Where there is unity there is always victory

“All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.”

“All for one and one for all.”

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”

Dear Members ,

All the above quotes given by the great people.  Now it’s time to be United... Our team has previously submitted the 7th Central Pay Commission report, as a result the Hon’ble Commission has allowed us to compete at the examination for the posts of Sr. Postmaster.  Our team during its recent visit to the Directorate submitted its Memorandum regarding modifications to be done to the 7th CPC recommendations in favour of our Esteemed Cadre.  It’s time to be united and wait for the Victory.. which is almost.. at our doors.

This is for favour of information of all of our friends in Postmaster Cadre that in spite of being an un-recognized association AIAPC not only entered in the office of the 7th Central Pay Commission but also submitted its Memorandum. All of you may have noticed that no any unions / associations found their place in the report of the 7th CPC excepting IP Association who is going to get their demand fulfilled after a long battle for 15 years (approx), but the 7th CPC has given a ‘DISTINCT EMPHASIS’ on the demand of our cadre and recommended the following in its report submitted to the Hon’ble Minister of Finance:

“Accordingly the Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the posts of Senior Post Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master Gr.III through seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post Masters’ cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted to appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent of the Senior Postmasters’ posts”.
