Cabinet Likely To Approve 7th Pay Commission Award With Increment

New Delhi: The cabinet is likely to approve the 7th pay commission award for central government employees in June for which the public exchequer will have to spend an additional amount of Rs 1.02 lakh crore.

However, there are no dearness allowance in their salary structure as the government recently announced 125 percent Dearness Allowance (DA) on which the pay panel recommended the 7th pay commission award.

Introducing a new provision of perks with the pay packet, the central government is also likely to give a increment, which is to be due in July, the month of implementation of pay commission recommendations for the central government employees, sources said.

The pay panel recommended minimum pay to Rs 18,000 per month from Rs 7,000, while the maximum pay has been recommended Rs 2.5 lakh per month from current Rs 90,000. It’s made a width pay gap discrimination between employees and higher officers from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8.

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries is likely to propose minimum pay Rs 20,ooo but central government employees unions demanded minimum pay Rs 26,000.

Under the pay scale the officers and employees will be entitled to House Rent Allowance (HRA) at the rate of 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 per cent of their new basic pays but it will be paid from the date of the Seventh pay commission award implementation. So no arrears will be paid in this segment.

The Commission also recommends that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9 percent respectively when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent when DA crosses 100 percent.

So the HRA segment will rise dramatically more than 100 percent of the existing House Rent Allowance (HRA).

The pay as per the pay panel report was set at Rs 2.25 lakh for secretary-level officers. Accordingly, the House Rent Allowance (HRA) for secretaries would be more than Rs 56,000.

The report of the Seventh Pay Commission was presented to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in November with a recommendation for 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay. The overall increase in salary, allowances and pensions is 23.55%. The increase in allowances will be higher by 63% while pensions will rise 24%.

The government set up a 13-member Empowered Committee of Secretaries (CoS) headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha for processing the report of the Seventh Pay Commission before cabinet nod.

An Implementation Cell has been created in the Finance Ministry which works as the Secretariat of the Empowered Committee. All central government employees unions’ submitted their written demands in respect of seventh pay commission’s anomalies in the cell to review, which are under process.

The central government has also been provisioned Rs 70,000 crore in the Union Budget 2016-17 to meet the demand for the new pay commission award that will be made effective from January 2016.

Dear Brothers/ Sisters,

            Kindly go through the Circular issued on 30-12-2015 also. All the information are similar except the change of venue of 11^th Federal Council from Tirupati to Hyderabad on same dates. Some important information is reiterated. 

           

 Federal Executive meeting on 25^th   & 26^th   December, 2015, was held in New Delhi. Under Presidentship Shri Manmohan Sharma, President, BPEF. All the General Secretaries were advised to get all Circle Conference updated without fail. The Secretary General has reported all the events, the "PRAVASH" and the conferences attended by him during the period up to December 2015.

The Secretary General BPEF has attended National Executive Meeting of BMS on 5^th to 7^th February, 2016. The BMS has directed BPEF to convene 4 day meeting of state and Federation office Secretaries   along with meeting of Members of Tripartite committee negotiating with Govt. of India in the month of July 2016.  

           

The All India Conferences of BPEA Postman & MTS, Administrative union , GDS Union & BP Civil wing will also  be convened at Hyderabad  along with Federal Council .

A Dharna notice for 4^th April 2016  was served by BPEA Gr. ‘C’  General Secy. Shri M.S. Chandel.  The Federation has decided to give full support to the Dharana programme.

            During previous meeting the introduction of core groups culture  in the unions and Federation has been agreed. For the All India Unions President, Secretary, Org.

 At the Federation level President/ Working President, Secretary General, Treasurer, Org. Secretary, and Prabhari industrial unit of BMS will form the Core group. This core group must report to the Higher level for the activities about the Organizational and Agitational programmers. In the case of laxity from the part of All India Unions, Circle Unions and  Divisional Unions the action will be taken by the core groups accordingly.

It is to be taken in mind that as per the constitution of unions the General Secretary of the unions is the Administrative Head of that union. Similarly Secretary General is the administrative Head for all the matter of affiliated unions. Similarly every union are advised to give full charge to the AGS of the union of the adjoining Circles to Circle in which he resides,

Now April 2016 is coming but no “PRAVASH “ from General Secretaries with regard to increase in membership have been reported to Federations . This laxity is going to harm to status of unions as well as Federation.

Mishra has issued the Circular and sent it to BPEF No other General Secretary has done it. This laxity to also harming the call of mother organization. 

A.P. Circle under leader ship of Shri Md. Zafrullah Khan has consented to hold 11th Federal council and the Conferences of Unions  in Hyderabad. It was decided to be held from   21st & 22nd May 2016.
