Telangana to have 17 new districts by Dussehra 2016

The state, which came into being in 2014, currently has 10 districts, including state capital Hyderabad.

Telangana will have 17 more districts, as the government on Monday took the first step for reorganisation of districts. The state, which came into being in 2014, currently has 10 districts, including state capital Hyderabad. The government issued a draft notification for formation of new districts. Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali told the media that 15 new revenue divisions and 46 new ‘mandals’ were also proposed to be created.

Ali, who holds revenue portfolio, said this will take the total number of revenue divisions to 60 and of ‘mandals’ to 505. The government has sought people’s views on the draft notification. A special website has been launched to enable people to give their suggestions over next one month.

Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will call an all-party meeting to elicit views of various parties on draft notification before issuing the final notification. The chief minister has announced that new districts will formally come into existence from Dussehra 2016.

The proposed new districts are Acharya Jayashankar, Hanamkonda, Jagtial, Kamareddy, Komaram Bheem, Kothagudem, Mahabubabad, Malkajgiri, Nagarkurnool, Nirmal, Peddapally, Sangareddy, Shamshabad, Siddipet, Suryapet, Wanaparthy and Yadadri.

The new allowances for the central government employees is likely to be implemented from October 1

New Delhi: The new allowances for the central government employees is likely to be implemented from October 1, a senior Finance Ministry official told  on condition of anonymity.

“The Pay Commission has put a burden of Rs 1.03 lakh crore,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in the Parliament in this month.

“Definitely, the new allowances on recommendations of 7th Pay Commission will be made effective soon. However, if its implementation is delayed it will be given effect from October 1,”.

The finance ministry official said the Finance Secretary committee will submit its report by September end.

The official said alongside main allowances, the Finance Secretary committee will recommend various reforms in allowances hence it will take some time to implement those after scrutinising.

The Union Cabinet cleared the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension on June 29 but decision on its suggestions relating to allowances has been referred to a Committee headed by Finance Secretary.

Accordingly, notification and resolution for the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations in respect of the hike in basic pay were issued on July 25.

The pay fixation and arrears  related  Office Memorandum No.1-5/2016-IC and Corrigendum dated July 29 and dated August 1 respectively were issued for paying arrears in one go in August salary.

According to Union Cabinet decision, a Committee headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa and Secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Health and Family Welfare among others as its members was constituted on July 22 for examination of the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission on allowances other than dearness allowance.

The pay commission headed by Justice A K Mathur had recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming 37 others after examining 196 allowances.

The scrapping of the allowances was opposed by the central government employees’ Unions and so it has been referred to a Committee of Secretaries.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in Rajya Sabha in this month, “These measures are radical in nature, even the employees’ unions have given their suggestions in the matter and therefore the committee has been formed to look into allowances. Whatever the committee decides, it will go to the Cabinet.”

The first meeting of the Finance Secretary Committee on allowances already took place on August 4.

The once in a decade pay hike has seen burden on exchequer rise from Rs 17,000 crore in the 5th Pay Commission to Rs 40,000 crore in the 6th and Rs 1,02,100 crore in the 7th Pay Commission, Jaitley  earlier said.

“The Union government needs funds. The Pay Commission has put a burden of Rs 1.03 lakh crore,” Jaitley said in the Parliament in this month.

The hike in the salary component as recommended by the 7th Pay Commission was accepted with retrospective effect from January 1, 2016. The arrears will be paid to the Central government employees and pensioners on August 31, Jaitley added.

It is noted that no arrears for allowances will be paid, as per usual practice, the allowances would be paid from the date of implementation.

The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission cover 48 lakh Central government employees and 52 lakh pensioners.

Central Government agrees to implement our demands –BMS
The Group of Minister headed by Shri Arun Jaitely appointed by the Prime Minister held talks with BMS leaders at the Office of the Finance Minister on 16th August 2016. The talks concluded to implement most of the promises.  Shri Arun Jaitely, Chairman of GoM requested BMS leadership to give at least 5 days time to assess the financial implications. Hence the meeting will continue preferably on 22nd August 2016. In view of the positive results BMS decided to defer the decision of strike till that day.
The decisions included implementing minimum wages based on formula adopted in 15th ILC and Supreme Court decision. All contract labourers will be provided minimum wages.  Govt. also will clear all barriers on implementing bonus to Government and PSU Employees. ESI benefits will be extended to Aanganwadi and other scheme workers, construction, Auto and Taxi workers. BMS requested to enhance minimum pension in PF which GoM agreed to consider.
Labour Ministry had already sent directions to allow registration to trade unions within 45 days, which is already implemented in 19 states.
Advisory will be sent to all states to strictly implement labour laws. Government will pursue labour law reforms only after proper consultations with trade unions.

GoM also explained the measures taken to curtail price rise and unemployment.  Inflation rate is now almost half that of during the previous Government.
BMS requested to reduce pictorial warning of 85% in Beedi packages which was accepted by the GoM.
 Further Finance Minister also agreed to consider providing salary relief to workers of Sick PSU’s and its revival which will be discussed with concerned Minister in detail tomorrow.
If all these are implemented it will be historic as it is for the first time that such a package of benefits to workers might be provided given by any Government during the last few decades.
The Group of Ministers which held talks with BMS apart from Shri Arun Jaitely included Shri Bandaru Dattatreye, Shri Piyush Goyal and Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.

Nationwide strike: Panel to meet Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh on Tuesday

New Delhi: Finance minister Arun Jaitley-led ministerial panel will meet the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) on Tuesday to discuss their demands as a proposed nationwide strike by central trade unions on 2 September looms.

Jaitley has called for a meeting with leaders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-affiliated BMS, in which four ministers who are part of the ministerial group to consider the demands of the trade unions are likely to participate.

It will be the first meeting of the group with a central trade union over the 12-point charter of demands in almost a year. Previously, it had met trade unions on 26-27 August 2015. 10 central trade unions had gone on a nation-wide strike on 2 September last year over the set of demands.

Earlier this year, they decided to go on strike on the same date again in view of the government’s “indifference” to their requirements. Asked about the meeting, BMS zonal organizing secretary Pawan Kumar told PTI: “We will meet the finance minister and ask him about progress on the 12-point charter of demands. The government has assured us they will act on it, but so far nothing as happened.”

He further said: “If we do not get answers on the status and what they (government) have done on these demands, we will go ahead with the country-wide strike next month.” The demands include minimum monthly wage of Rs.18,000, minimum assured pension of Rs.3,000 and no foreign direct investment (FDI) in sectors like the Railways, defence and insurance, among others.

Meanwhile, BMS in a statement “strongly condemned the callous delay and neglecting attitude” of the government in not fulfilling the promises on demands raised by the joint forum of central trade unions. The promises were made by both labour minister and labour secretary in August last year as a follow-up to the decisions taken by the ministerial group headed by Jaitley, which was formed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it said.

After a meeting on its central working committee in Bhopal last week, BMS said it has decided to take “strongest action including strike”. “It is most unfortunate that in spite of passing of over 11 months, the government has not cared to make any attempt to implement them (demands) whereas every time anti-worker decisions are coming up so fast...,” it said.

“Therefore, the 136th Kendriya Karya Samiti (KKS) resolves to declare one day national strike on 2 September.” The finance minister has invited BMS for a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the labour issues, it added. “Although the Samiti is apprehensive of the outcome of such a meeting considering the past experiences, KKS authorises the president and general secretary of BMS to declare the strike after the result of 16 August meeting is known,” the union said.
