CONFEDERATION 
DECLARES NATIONWIDE 
AGITATIONAL PROGRAMMES

Dear Comrades,

The National Secretariat of the Confederation met at New Delhi on 11.08.2014 to consider the follow up action required in the matter of some of the pressing issues on which Confederation had organized series of agitational programmes prior to the commencement of the Election process of the 16thLok Sabha. The CHQ has received reports from various affiliates to the effect that they have all endorsed the common memorandum, the Confederation had submitted to the 7th CPC. Most of the affiliates have emailed copies of the respective memorandum to the CHQ. Those who have not sent copies are requested to do so without further loss of time. This will enable the Confederation to write to the 7th CPC to provide an opportunity to these organisations to tender oral evidence to explain and elucidate their submissions in the memorandum.

The meeting noted that there has been only negative response from the Government on the issues of Interim Relief and merger of DA. We have already sent to you a copy of our letter addressed to the Secretary, Staff Side, JCM National Council, (Com. Shivgopal Mishra) which is yet to be responded. The meeting considered the following issues as important, the pursuance of which must not brook any delay, especially in the background that the 7th CPC has formally written to the Government asking it to indicate the course of action required to be taken on the memorandum of the staff side on Interim Relief and merger of DA.

CHARTER OF DEMANDS

1.    Merger of DA with pay for all employees with effect from 01.01.2014
 including Gramin Dak sewaks and pensioners.

2.    Grant of Interim Relief to all employees 
including Gramin Dak Sewaks and Pensioners.

3.    Inclusion of Gramind Dak sevaks under the purview of 
7th Central pay Commission.

4.    Scrap PFRDA Act and grant of statutory pension to all.

5.    Date of effect of 7th CPC recommendations should be 01.01.2014.

6.    Regularisation and revision of wages of 
casual laboures and contract workers.

7.    Removal of 5% condition for compassionate appointments.

8.    Fill up al vacant posts and creation of new posts wherever justified.

9.    Stop downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation and 
privatisation of Government functions.

10. Grant Productivity linked Bonus to all without ceiling; 
compute Bonus as weighted average of PLB for 
those not covered by PLB agreement.

11. Revise OTA and NDA and implement arbitration awards.

The meeting also considered the policy perception of the new Government in the light of the administrative price hike in petroleum products, the proposals in the Railway and General Budget, the steep hike in the freight and passenger fares of Railways, the decision to hike FDI in Defence Production, Railway Infrastructure and Insurance sectors, disinvestment of public sector including nationalized banks and have come to the inescapable conclusion that under Narendra Modi dispensation, the neo-liberal policies, as expected, will only be intensified and the promised “Achche Din” is for the Corporate giants of the country. The last session of the Parliament witnessed the determination of the NDA Government in changing the labour laws on the lines of the enactment made by Rajasthan Government of Vasundhara Raje Scindhia by virtue of which in almost 90% of the manufacturing units in India, the employers are permitted to indulge in hire and fire policy, for the existing regulations will be dispensed with.

The meeting came to the decision that the confederation must organise serious and prolonged campaign, preferably in unison with the Railway and Defence Federations. We will pursue our consultation with those Federations to reach a common approach in the matter. Since it might take some more time, the meeting decided to pursue the demands through a demonstrative programme.

·         11th September 2014:

o                 Submission of the Charter of Demands along with a brief Note to all heads of offices by arranging demonstration in front of all offices; the branch level/district/divisional/state level leaders will explain the demands especially the memorandums on interim relief, DA merger and GDS issues.

·         19th September 2014:

o     Dharna between 10 AM to 3 PM at all important state/districts/divisional centres.

·         25th September 2014: 

o       Dharna between 10 AM to 3 PM at New Delhi with participation of the leaders of all affiliates and the members working in the city of Delhi

Confederation office Bearers will meet again at Delhi on 26.09.2014, 5 PM to decide further course of action. Confederation will bring out pamphlets and bulletins to explain various issues like minimum wage, DA, Bonus, GDS problems etc. shortly as part of an education campaign. The detailed campaign programe to be undertaken after Diwali festival will be intimated later.

Comradely yours,

We make the following suggestions to improve the present procedure.
1.   To simplify the procedure
2.   To exempt the stamp duty when the property is required to be mortgaged and de- mortgaged.
3.   To increase the advance to 50 times of the Salary
4.   Since the repayment of the advance is to be made in a span of not more than 20 years, the employees must be made entitled to the advance on completion of 5 years, which is presently 10 years.
5.   In the case of employee, who do not have the service period of 10 years for repayment,  in order to compute the advance and the repaying capacity, the entire gratuity due and become payable  to him may be taken into account.
6.   The maximum ceiling limits to be raised appropriately on the basis of the new pay scales.
7.   To reduce the rate of Interest at not more than 5%.
8.   To make the Government employees entitled for the advance for purchasing second-hand or used houses 
9.   Advance may also be sanctioned for the purpose of making extension to the existing accommodation or to upgrade the accommodation by disposing the first one purchased by availing HBA and to purchase a new one.
10.        To remove  the 5 % ceiling
11.        To ensure that compassionate appointment to the deserving candidates are given within 3 months of the date of death of the employee.
12.        In case of any administrative delay in offering compassionate appointment the deserving applicants may be granted minimum of the pay scale of the post on which his application will be considered.

Compassionate Ground Appointment:

Considering the importance as well as the difference in the activities of the Department of Atomic Energy while comparing the activities of the conventional department all candidates should be considered for compassionate ground appointment.

Promotion Cadre Review:

The cadre reviews should undertaken wherever not done to ensure five hierarchical promotions to all employees

MACP:

Ensure five financial up-gradations on grade Hierarchy.

Holidays:

Presently the holidays are determined for each year by the DOPT.  However, they permit the high power welfare committee of each State to finalise, taking into account the local conditions, three among the listed holidays.  We suggest that this may be recommended to be increased to six.  This apart, we may bring to the notice of the commission that only Government of India has refused to recognise the importance of May Day.  May Day is not a holiday for the Central Govt. employees.  We request the commission to recommend for the declaration of May Day as a holiday.

 Casual Leave:

The Govt. reduced the Casual leave from 12 to 8 and in the case of industrial workers from 15 to 10.    The number of days as 12 was conceived to be a day per month.  Taking into account the various contingencies one has to face, the increasing social obligations, we request that the number of Casual leave may be increased to 12 per year and in the case of industrial workers in the open line establishments to 15.

Special Disability leave:

The Special disability leave is sanctioned for treatment in the case of an employee who gets injured in an accident. The Govt. has imposed a ceiling on this leave,   a maximum of 24 months.  During the leave period he will be entitled for full salary for 120 days and rest at half pay rate.  Our suggestion in the matter is that such leave must not have any restriction on the number of days.  The number of days a person has to be on such leave should be purely on the advice of the concerned Doctor and whatever he has suggested should be granted.

Earned leave:

At present there is a ceiling limit for accumulation of earned leave.  Govt. employees are entitled for 30 days EL on an average every year.  Due to revising the age of Superannuation to 60 years, generally Govt. employees are in service for 35 years and more.  The total EL that goes into the credit of the employee is of the order of 1050 days, 50% of which comes to 525 days.  In that background, the ceiling limit of 300 days can be reasonably raised to 450.  The Govt. employee may be permitted to en-cash part of such accumulated leave say 50% to meet certain financial exigencies if he has put in 20 years of service or more.

Half Pay Leave:

We suggest that the half pay at the credit of an employee may be allowed to en-cash at the time of superannuation/retirement to make the EL to 450 days as well as the balance half pay leave may be en-cashed at the rate of half pay equal to the leave
Maternity and Paternity Leave:

The entitlement may be increased to 240 days in the case of maternity leave and 30 days for paternity leave.

Child Care Leave:

We request to convert the child care leave as “family care” leave. The women employee must be entitled to avail the leave to take care of problems and difficulties of her family members. 
In the recent Supreme Court order directed the Government to remove the restriction to avail Child Care Leave
Accordingly we suggest that:
(a) no restriction on the maximum number of spells in a year ;
(b) No restriction is imposed on age of the child for grant of the leave especially in the case of children with mental or physical debilities. Or of prolonged illness.
(c) She must be allowed to avail the leave for her own biological disorders
(d)In the case of death of the women employees, her spouse, the widower may be permitted to avail the child care leave. 

Leave Travel Concession:

Leave Travel Concession is a facility extended to the Government employees, which enables them to avail holidays and undertake travel as a tourist. The facility provides him with an opportunity to be away from the monotonous daily routine and be with his family members without the tension of the official duties.  It is an established fact that if employee is encouraged to take such holidays they will reform rejuvenated and the employer is benefitted through his increased productivity.
16.7.2 Over the years, on representation from employees, the concession has been widened.  However, some aspects of this facility require certain further relaxations/improvements. We enumerate those as under:-
1. Permission for air journey for all categories of employees to and from NE Region.
2. Permission for personnel posted in NE Region for a journey within NE Region.
3. To increase the periodicity of the LTC to once in two years for home town as well on all India tour. .
4. Eligibility of LTC should be based on the Pay it should not link with Grade.
5. Explore the possibility of allowing an employer to undertake tour outside India, once in his service career in lieu of the LTC.

Group Insurance Scheme:

The rate of subscription and insurance cover as under Group Insurance Scheme:-
Group
Rate of Subscription
Insurance cover
Executive
1500
1500000
Non executive (other than MTS)
750
750000
MTS
350
350000

Income Tax:

1)   Reintroduction of the provisions of section 16(1) and allow deduction of 30% of the salary income to arrive at the taxable income.
2)   All allowances to make net of taxes.

Dues of employees died in service:

To waive all governmental dues in the case of an employee who die in harness

 Facilities for Women Employees:

Provide provision of special facilities for women employees and recommended certain measures viz., flexi time, Sub-reservation, increasing the age of recruitment, Public convenience facilities, Separate women’s hostel, serving women be given option to work half time for a maximum of six years in a career; identification of certain professions to be manned only by women employees; enhancing age of recruitment to 35 years, creation of earned leave bank so that wife could avail earned leave at her husband’s credit etc.
Further, the guidelines for posting husband and wife in the same station are not being observed particularly in case of Gr C women employees.  The guidelines should be made mandatory.  Further it is needed to implement the recommendations of the National Women’s Commission for 30%, sub-reservation which will automatically enthuse women to equip them and be in the mainstream.  A large number of women employees are facing problems like removal of uteruses etc. (Hysterectomy) after attaining the age of 40 years or more which requires special rest.  The women employees may be granted one month special leave for such purposes.

Scrapping of downsizing Outsourcing/ Contractorisation:

Since the activities of the Department of Atomic Energy is far differ from that of other conventional Department. The activities of the Department are co related with exposure to the Radiation Chemical hazards. As per the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) guidelines, all the employees are closely monitored thoroughly about their health for any radiation or hazardous gas reaction. The contracturaisation and out sourcing of the staff strength ultimately reduces from the staff strength and thus engaging the core activities of the Department who all are not trained to dos and spend money for procuring material/s for completion of the job.
We, therefore request the pay commission to recommend for scrapping of downsizing Outsourcing/ Contractorisation / of Central Government functions and in the Department of Atomic Energy particularly.

Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM):

The scheme has been introduced to ensure a perfect redressel forum for all non gazetted employees under Government of India. But the seriousness towards the scheme can be seen from the approach towards the process for updating the scheme. Government never considered the necessity to update the scheme based on the changes being made by various pay commissions. It became crucial after the implementation the VI CPC recommendation that the abolition of the Group D cadre. Now in short the scheme is exclusively operating for non gazetted staff of Group C.  It is, therefore, necessary to revisit the scheme itself and redraft the bye laws for the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) such a way that all non gazetted staff (non executive class employees as suggested in this memorandum) should be covered under the JCM Scheme.
To sum up we request the VII CPC to consider and devise ways and means whereby the Government is advised to adhere to the laid down processes and to implement the objectives for which JCM Scheme was operationalised and in particular all Non gazetted (Non Executive) Central Government employees should be brought under the coverage of JCM.

Retirement Benefits

New Pension Scheme:

Scrape New Pension Scheme and the PFRDA Act.

Pension:

The emoluments for the calculation of pension should include:
(a) Basic Pay
(b) Any Special pay or personal pay, or deputation duty allowance.
(c) Dearness Allowance
(d) Non-practicing allowance in respect of Doctors
(e) 75% of the running allowance in respect of Railway Running Staff retired after 4.12.1988
·         To recommend that if a person retire on the day he has completed 12 months of service since his last increment, the increment accrued to him may be added notionally to his basic pay and then the pension computed.
·         To Recommend that the ten monthly average emoluments or the last pay drawn, whichever is more beneficial, should be the basis of computation of pension.
·         Propose that the 50% of service before acquiring temporary status and full service after acquiring temporary status irrespective of whether he / she was regularized or not should count towards pension. Similarly these employees have to remain for long durations without any regularisation and are deprived many amenities which a regular employee gets. Not to treat their service pensionable for a considerable period leaves them with very meagre pension and in some cases with no pension. This is against the principle of social justice and therefore our above suggestion should be considered by the 7th CPC.
·         Propose that entire service rendered as a casual labour irrespective of the fact whether he was granted temporary status or ultimately regularised should be treated as pensionable service and the service rendered as GDS in Department of Posts also should be treated in the similar fashion.
·         Propose that instead of treating interruption to cause an automatic forfeiture of past service for pensions, it should be dealt with under CCA Rules. The provision causing forfeiture of service for pension purposes on account of
·         Suggest that full pension should be at the rate of 67% of Last Pay Drawn or 10 months average emoluments, whichever is more beneficial.
·         To consider addition to the pension after granting 67% of last pay drawn (LPD) / Average of emoluments as full pension on superannuation at 60 years of age as under, because of prevailing life expectancy of Indian Citizen Age is 69.6 (assessed during the year 2011-15) and the old pensioner who is also considered to be senior citizen has to wait for a period of twenty years on his retirement to get an increase at his age of 80 maintaining his health from disease burden.
On attaining Age of                                          Pension admissible;
65 Years                                                        70% of L.P.D.
70 Years                                                        75%  of LPD
75 Years                                                        80% of LPD
80 Years                                                        85% of LPD
85 Years                                                        90% of LPD.
90 Years                                                        100% of LPD
Note: L.P.D= Last Pay drawn or ten monthly average of the pay drawn whichever is more beneficial.
  • 100% of the minimum wage should be the Minimum Pension.
  • It should be periodically merged with the basic pension so that deficiency in the 100% neutralization in the cost of living is partially compensated.
  • It should be periodically merged with the basic pension so that deficiency in the 100% neutralization in the cost of living is partially compensated.
  • It should be periodically merged with the basic pension so that deficiency in the 100% neutralization in the cost of living is partially compensated.
  • We therefore urge that pay of every pre-2014 retiree should be notionally redetermined (corresponding to the post from which he or she retired and not corresponding to the scale from which he or she retired) as if he or she is not retired and then the pension be computed under the revised liberalised rules which are to be applicable to the post-2014 retirees under the same rules which would be applicable to employees in service as on 1.1.2014.
  • However, family pension shall be equal to 50% (67% as proposed by us) of pay last drawn or twice the rates given above, whichever is less and the amount so admissible shall be payable from the date following the date of death of the Government Servant for period of 7 years or for a period up to the date on which the deceased Government Servant would have attained the age of 67 years had he survived / 10 years in case of death in harness. The family pension is not less than Minimum Pension.
  • The prescribed period for which the family pension is payable is as under:
(i) In the case of a widow or widower, up to the date of death or remarriage whichever is earlier
(ii) In the case of a Son until he attains the age of 25 years.
(iii) The unmarried / widowed / divorced daughter.
(iv)The disabled mentally retarded child of the Government Servant.
The Commission is requested to recommend removal of this disparity to enable grant of enhanced family pension uniformly in both the  cases for 10 years keeping in view the principle of social justice , equity and fair play.
·         The quantum of family pension for the period of 10 years should be equal to the pension of the Government Servant was entitled as per Rules.
·         After the expiry of the above 10 years period, the family pension may be reduced to 50% of last pay drawn
·         The concession extended to a disabled mentally retarded child to receive family pension until his / her death is subject to the condition that the said disability should have manifested before the death of Government employee. We suggest that this condition may be removed.
·         The family pension is also to be extended to widowed daughter-in-law.
·         In case of a Son, the family pension may be allowed up to the age of 28 years. This is suggested because the recruitment age has been raised in certain cases to 28 year

Additional Pension:

(a) 5.5 In the case of family pensioners also taking into account their solitude and inability to earn and the ever rising cost of living etc we request for the enhancement of the family pension at the following rates:
On attaining age of                               Additional Quantum of Family Pension
65 Years                                                                                   5% of Family pension
70 Years                                                                                   5% of Family pension
75 Years                                                                                   5% of Family pension
80 Years                                                                                   5% of Family pension
5 Years                                                                                     10% of Family pension
90 Years                                                                                   20% of Family pension
(b) The VII Central Pay Commission is requested to recommend removed of the disparity existing between the 3 categories of CPSU Absorbees stated above by extending the provisions of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 to all the Absorbees uniformly making them eligible for family pension.
(c) We suggest that the gratuity may be calculated on the basis of 25 effective days as against 30 days in a month. We make this suggestion because the Government Servant should not be paid at a rate lesser than what is admissible under the Gratuity Act.
(d)The ceiling of 16.5 times and the quantum limit of Rs. 10 lakhs should also be removed. This is because under existing rules gratuity is reduced in the case of a Government Servant who has put in less than 33 years of service. In the banking industry there is no such ceiling of 16.5 months salary but the retiring bank employees are getting at the rate of ½ a month salary for every year of service even over and above 33 years of service. Therefore, it is but logical that for a service span exceeding 33 years, the gratuity should be higher and the above ceiling be withdrawn.
(e) Taking all these factors into account, we suggest that the commuted pension may be restored on completion of 10 years or reaching the age of 70 years, whichever is earlier.
·         We therefore suggest that 10% of the total units constructed by the State Housing Boards, Central Housing Corporations etc to be reserved for pensioners. Similarly quite a number of staff quarters sometimes lie vacant without occupation by serving employees and such quarters may be allotted for pensioners on payment of just licence fee only.
·         In addition, dormitory type single room tenements with common dining hall, library, cultural centre, auditorium, basic medical facility etc may be constructed at the outskirts of the cities and allotted to pensioners on payment of a reasonable amount. Until such schemes are accepted and worked out, HRA may be granted to the Pensioners on the same rates as is given to serving employees.
·         Similarly any travel concession granted to Pensioners will also boost the tourism development in the country besides bringing happiness at their old age.
·         Therefore the 7th CPC is requested to examine this proposal for framing such a scheme for facilitating payment of at least 1,00,000 rupees on the demise of the pensioners to their spouses
