No.AIPRPA / 1/6/2016 Dated 09.06.2016

Dear Sir,

Subject:- Acceptance of Option Number 1 of the 7th CPC Recommendations on Parity of Pension of Pre-2016 Pensioners – regarding.

We are deeply shocked to learn through the Staff Side JCM that the Defense Ministry and the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare are objecting to the implementation of the recommendation made by the 7th CPC on offering an Option to notionally add the number of increments earned in the last pay scale before retirement for calculating the minimum pension to past pensioners. The objection of the Defense Ministry is shocking as it had recently consented to the grant of One Rank One Pension to its own Pensioners. The objection of the Pensioners Ministry that this recommendation is not feasible due to non-availability of service records of Pensioners is most unjustified.

The non-acceptance of this recommendation will cause a major financial loss to many Pre-2016 Pensioners. It should be borne in mind that the Fifth CPC while evolving the norm of modified parity had mentioned in its Report that further improvements could be brought about by future Pay Commissions. It is after 20 years that 7th CPC taking a step in this direction recommended consideration of number of increments earned in that level while in service. The recommendation cannot be set aside on the plea of non-availability of record.

The issue, therefore, needs reconsideration especially in view of the following points:
i) Service Records are protected documents and cannot be destroyed without specific orders of the competent authority; Even if the Service Records of some of the Pensioners were not available, the same can be reconstructed/recast as per prescribed procedures and as per directions of various courts issued from time to time in such cases.

ii) All the Past Pensioners cannot be made to suffer heavy financial loss due to some missing records – which can in any way be reconstructed as stated above.

iii) 5th & 6th Pay Commissions had recommended for grant of Modified Parity to past Pensioners. The orders were implemented on the basis of service records.

iv) Recommendations of the 7th CPC in Para 10.1.67 (option 1) for Parity of Pension of Past (Pre-2016) Pensioners were based on legal and Constitutional grounds.

It is, therefore, requested that the Government should reject the opinions of both the Defense Ministry and the DOP&PW as well as the Empowered Committee and approve the recommendation of 7th CPC regarding option Number 1 to grant Parity to Pre-2016 Pensioners.

Thanking you Sir,
Yours faithfully,
K.Ragavendran

Central Government employees could get 7th Pay Commission salary from 1st August 2016

7th Pay Commission payout, here’s when you may begin to get the money

The long wait of central government employees for the 7th Pay Commission payout may end soon with the government working on the possibility of starting to credit their accounts as per the proposed new pay scales from August 1, 2016.

The long wait of central government employees for the 7th Pay Commission payout may end soon with the government working on the possibility of starting to credit their accounts as per the proposed new pay scales from August 1, 2016.

“Central government employees could get the revised pay-scales with their July salaries that would be credited on August 1,” sources close to officials working on the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission report told FeMoney.

However, while there are indications that arrears would also be credited along with revised pay, it is not clear whether the past dues according to the Commission’s report would be given at one go or in instalments.

The exact position is likely to be clear after the meeting of the 7th Pay Commission committee, headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha, on June 11 to decide the final contours of the payout plan.

The 7th Pay Commission recommendation, which will come into effect with retrospective effect from January 1, 2016, will result in higher pay package of 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners.

The Commission has recommended a 23.55 per cent hike in pay and allowance. While pay will go up by 16 per cent, increase in allowance will be 63 per cent and increase in pension 24 per cent.
According to reports, the Empowered Committee of Secretaries under Cabinet Secretary Sinha has recommended a wage hike of Rs 21,000 and Rs 2.7 lakh for the lower and upper level, respectively. This works out to Rs 3,000 more at the lower end and Rs 20,000 more for the upper level than what the 7th Pay Commission prescribed.

The impact the 7th Pay Commission recommendations will be to the tune of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on the government’s exchequer, with the break-up being Rs 73,650 crore on the Union Budget and Rs 28,450 crore on the Railway Budget.
