To All Head of Circles
Sub: Proposal for allowing bunching benefit to Inspector of Posts Cadre wef 01.01.2006.
Many references in this regard were received from Circles and Service
Association. The matter was referred to Ministry of Finance.
2. I am directed to inform you that Ministry of Finance, Department
of Expenditure vide their ID) No 03-31/2019-E III (A) dated 17.06.2020
has clarified that “It is stated that this Department’s OM dtd
28.09.7019 ensures the minimum entry pay of those existing government
servants Whose revised pay as on 01.01.2006 fixed under Rule 7 of CCS
(RP) rules 2008 turns out to be lower than the prescribed entry pay for
direct recruits of that post. In other words, the revised pay of
inspector of posts cadre as on 01.01.2006 will be fixed under rule 7 of
CCS (RP) Rules 2008 i.e. by multiplying the basic pay as on 31.12.2005
in pre-revised scale Rs 5500-9000 with factor 1.86(rounded off to next
Rs 10) and thereafter to add the upgraded Grade Pay Rs 4600 and if the
resultant figure (i.e. revised pay on Pay band + Grade Pay) is less than
the entry pay of inspector of Posts of GP Rs 4600 i.e. Rs 17140, then
Inspector of Posts , may be granted the minimum entry pay of Rs 17140
w.e.f 01.01.2006. The bunching benefit on Entry Pay of Rs 17140 as proposed by D/o Posts, is not in order and hence not agreed to.”

ESI Corporation Members appreciates measures taken by ESIC during Covid - 19 pandemic
The ESI Corporation during its 182nd meeting held late yesterday
under the Chairmanship of Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Minister of State
for Labour and Employment (I/C) has taken some very important decisions
towards improvement in its service delivery mechanism and providing
relief to workers affected by Covid-19 pandemic. Following important
decisions were taken during the meeting:
ESIC is implementing the Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyna Yojna under which
unemployment benefit is paid to the workers covered under ESI Scheme.
The ESI Corporation has decided to extend the scheme for one more year
upto 30th June 2021. It has been decided to relax the existing
conditions and the amount of relief for workers who have lost employment
during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The enhanced relief under the
relaxed conditions will be payable during the period of 24.03.2020 to
31st December 2020. Thereafter the scheme will be available with
original eligibility condition during the period 01.01.2021 to
30.06.2021. Review of these conditions will be done after 31.12.2020
depending upon the need and demand for such relaxed condition.
The eligibility criteria for availing the relief has also been relaxed, as under:
The payment of relief has been enhanced to 50% of average of
wages from earlier 25% of average wages payable upto maximum 90 days of
unemployment.
Instead of the relief becoming payable 90 days after unemployment, it shall become due for payment after 30 days.
The
Insured Person can submit the claim directly to ESIC Branch Office
instead of the claim being forwarded by the last employer and the
payment shall be made directly in the bank account of IP.
The
Insured Person should have been insurable employment for a minimum
period of 2 years before his/her unemployment and should have
contributed for not less than 78 days in the contribution period
immediately preceding to unemployment and minimum 78 days in one of the

upto 10% of total commissioned beds in all ESIC Hospitals.
The members of ESI Corporation in meeting appreciated the actions
taken by ESIC towards mitigating the effect of Covid-19 on its
stakeholders besides providing its infrastructure for medical care to
general public. So far, 23 ESIC hospitals with around 2600 Isolation
Beds and aprox 1350 quarantine beds across India are functioning as COVID-19

Sub: Allotment of qualification based pay matrix – ECG Technicians in Railways.
Ref: (i) Railway Board’s reply to GS/ NFIR vide letter
No.PC-VII/2018/R-U/8 dated IR’s letter No.II/1/2019 dated 30th March,
2019 and 18th April, 2019 to the Railway Board.
(iii) NFIR’s PNM agenda item No.25 (sent to Railway Board on 29th May, 2019).
Dear Sir,
Kind attention is invited to the references cited above, on the above
subject relating to allotment of qualification based pay matrix to the
ECG Technicians in railways. Federation once again furnishes below, the important facts relating to the demand for granting higher entry grade pay to the ECG Technician category with appropriate cadre structure for their growth.
The ECG Technicians appointed in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital,
New Delhi (under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) have never been
in possession of the standard qualification relating to the job
expected from an ECG Technician, while in Railways, the ECG Technicians
possess “Diploma in ECG Lab Technology”.
ECG Technicians in
Railways have never been treated atleast equal to those working in the
Central Government Hospitals and have rather been treated inferior. This
negative situation has been prevailing since the period of 3rd CPC.
The
DR qualification prescribed for the post of Sr. ECG Technician pay
scale Rs.1400-2600 (IV CPC)/5000-8000) V CPC)/ PB-2 GP 4200 (VI CPC)/
Pay Level-6 in 7th CPC
in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital is Bachelor’s Degree in Science with
Physics with one year experience in handling cardiological equipment or 3
years Diploma Course in Electronics/ Electrical communication
Engineering. Whereas in Railways, though the qualification for the post
of ECG Technician got revised during 6th CPC regime to Degree in Science
plus Diploma in ECG Lab Technology/ Cardiology/ Cardiology Technician/
Cardiology Techniques of reputed institution [refer Railway Board’s
letter No. E(NG)II/2001/RR/45 Pt. A dated 29/09/2015], this category has
not been treated at par with those ECG Technicians of Dr. Ram Manohar
Lohia Hospital.
NFIR therefore requests the Railway Board to take action for revising
the pay structure of ECG Technicians of railways for the purpose of
providing entry grade pay 4200/Level 6 of pay matrix with further avenue
of promotion to pay level 7, similar to the pay structure of ECG
Technicians of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi.
Subject: Protection of pay to the Central Government Servant
consequent to appointment to a new post in different service or cadre in
Central Government, through direct recruitment where either higher
duties and responsibilities are involved or not, as the case may be,
under FR 22-B(1), in the 7th CPC Scenario – Regarding.
The undersigned is directed to say that consequent to various references received
from Ministries/ Departments on protection of pay under FR 22-B(1), a
need has been felt to issue guidelines on the manner of fixation of pay
in respect of the Central Government Servant who after technical
resignation, is appointed to new post in the different service or cadre
in Central Government through direct recruitment where either higher
responsibilities are involved or not, as the case may be, in 7th Central
Pay Commission scenario.
2. Provisions of FR 22-B(1) inter-alia provide as under :
“P.R. 22-B.(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in these Rules, the following provisions shall govern the pay of a Government servant who is appointed as a probationer in another service or cadre, and subsequently confirmed in that service or cadre –
(a) during the period of probation, he shall draw pay at the
minimum of the time scale or at the probationary stages of the time
scale of the service or post, as the case may be:
Provided that if the presumptive pay of the permanent post on which he holds a lien or would hold a lien had his lien not been suspended, should at any time be greater than the pay fixed under the clause, he shall draw the presumptive pay of the permanent;
(b) on confirmation in the sen/ice or post after the expiry of
the period of probation, the pay of the Government servant shall be
fixed in the time-scale of the service or post in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 22 or Rule 22-C, as the case may be…”
3. Consequent upon the implementation of 7th CPC Report and CCS (RP) Rules,
2016, the President is pleased to allow protection of pay in the light
of the provisions laid down under FR 22-B(1) to Central Government
employee who is appointed as probationer in another service or cadre
either carrying higher responsibilities or not, as the case may be and
subsequently confirmed in that service or cadre, in the manner as
illustrated below:
(A) MANNER OF FIXATION OF PAY OF GOVERNMENT SERVANT UNDER FR 22-B(1) CONSEQUENT TO HIS APPOINTMENT IN LOWER POST THROUGH DIRECT RECRUITMENT, WHERE HIGHER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT INVOLVED
A Central Government Employee on his appointment to a post in lower Level
in different service or cadre in Central Government which does not
carry duties and responsibilities of greater importance than those
attached to the post held earlier by him on regular basis before such
appointment and having a provision of probation period in new post, may
during probation draw the presumptive pay of the post held earlier by
him on regular basis, if it is higher than the minimum of the Time Scale
of the new post. He would also draw annual increments on such
presumptive pay. However, it is to be ensured that during probation,
presumptive pay should always be greater than the pay of the new post
after drawl of increment(s). Subsequently, on successful completion of
his probation, his pay will be fixed under FR 22(l)(a)(2).
Protection of Pay in the above manner should not, at any of these stages, exceed the maximum of the Level of the new post in Pay Matrix.
Illustration An officer was drawing pay of Rs.78,500 in Cell 6 in Level 11
(with DNI 01.07.2018) before his appointment to a post in Level 10 on
01.04.2018 which does not carry duties and responsibilities of greater
importance than those attached to the post held earlier by him before
such appointment. There is a provision of 2 years probation period in
new post.
Since the first Cell Value in Level 10 (Rs.56,100) is less than the Last Basic Pay i.e. Rs. 78,500/- in Level 11. Hence during probation, he will draw the presumptive pay i.e. Rs.78,500/- in Level 11 and would also draw annual increments according to the pay drawn in his previous post in Level II.
On 01 .04.2018- Rs. 78,500 (Level 11) On 01 .07.2018- Rs. 80,900 (Level 11) On 01.07.2019- Rs. 83,300 (Level 11)
On successful completion of his probation period and on confirmation
w.e.f. 01.04.2020, the pay of the officer would be fixed under FR
22(l)(a)(2). Since no such Cell of Rs. 83,300/- is available in Level
10, his pay would be fixed at next higher cell i.e. Cell 15 in Level 10
at Rs. 84,900 with next date of increment 01.01.2021.
(B) MANNER OF FIXATION OF PAY OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE
UNDER FR 22-B(1) CONSEQUENT TO HIS APPOINTMENT TO A POST IN HIGHER LEVEL
THROUGH DIRECT RECRUITMENT, WHERE HIGHER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
ARE INVOLVED
A Central Government Employee on his appointment to a post in higher
level in different service or cadre in Central Government carrying
duties and responsibilities of greater importance than those attached to
the post held earlier by him on regular basis before such appointment
and ha ing a provision of probation period in new post, may during
probation draw the presumptive pay of the post held earlier by him on
regular basis if it is higher than the minimum of the Time Scale of the
new post. He would also draw annual increments on such presumptive pay.
However, it is to be ensured that during probation presumptive pay
should always be greater than the pay of the new post after drawl of
increment(s). Subsequently, on successful completion of his probation,
his pay will be fixed under FR 22(l)(a)(1).
Protection of Pay in the above manner should not, at any of these stages, exceed the maximum of the Level of the new post in Pay Matrix.
Illustration
An officer was drawing pay of Rs.58,600 in Cell 10 of Level 7 before his appointment on 01.04.2018 in Level 10 (with DNI 01.07.2018) which carries duties and responsibilities of greater importance than those attached to the post held earlier by him on regular basis before such appointment. There is a provision of 2 years probation period in new post.
Since the first Cell Value of Level 10 (Rs. 56,100) is less than the Last Basic Pay
drawn in Cell 10 of Level 7 i.e. Rs. 58,600/-, hence during probation,
he will draw the presumptive pay of the post held earlier by him on
regular basis and would also draw annual increments in the Level 7 of
his previous post as shown below:-
On 01.04.2018- Rs. 58,600 (Level 7) On 01.07.2018- Rs. 60,400 (Level 7) On 01.07.2019- Rs. 62,200 (Level 7)
On successful completion of his probation period and on confirmation w.e.f.
01
.04.2020, the pay of the officer would be fixed under FR 22(l)(a)(1)
read with Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016. Accordingly, an increment
will be added in his pay in Level 7 and his pay will reach at Rs.
64,100/-. Since, there is no cell value equal to Rs. 64,100 available in
Level 10, his pay will be fixed in Level 10 in Cell 6 at Rs. 65,000/-
with next date of increment 01.01.2021.
(C) MANNER OF FIXATION OF PAY OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE UNDER FR 22-B(1) CONSEQUENT TO HIS APPOINTMENT TO A POST IN EQUIVALENT LEVEL POST THROUGH DIRECT RECRUITMENT, WHERE HIGHER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT INVOLVED
A Central Government Employee on his appointment to a post in
Equivalent Level in different service or cadre in Central Government
through direct recruitment where higher duties and responsibilities are
not involved and having a provision of probation period in new post,
may during probation draw the presumptive pay of the post held earlier
by him on regular basis. He would also get his increments on such
presumptive pay. On successful completion of his probation, his pay will
be fixed under FR 22(l)(a)(2). However, Protection of Pay in the above
manner should not, at any of these stages, exceed the maximum of the
Level of the new post in Pay Matrix.
Illustration An officer was drawing pay of Rs. 58,600 in Cell 10 of Level 7 before his
appointment on 01.04.2018 in the same Level 7 (with DNI 01.07.2018).
There is a provision of 2 years probation period in new post.
Since the first Cell Value of Level 7 (Rs. 44,900) is less than the Last Basic Pay i.e. Rs. 58,600/- in Level 7 drawn by Government Servant, hence during probation, he will draw the presumptive pay and also get his increments in the same Level of his previous post as shown below:-
On 01.04.2018- Rs. 58,600 (Level 7) On 01.07.2018- Rs. 60,400 (Level 7) On 01.07.2019- Rs. 62,200 (Level 7)
On successful completion of his probation period and on confirmation w.e.f. 01.04.2020, the pay of the officer would be fixed under FR 22(I)(a)(2).
Since
no increment would be admissible under FR 22(l)(a)(2), there will be no
change in his pay on the date of confirmation i.e. 01.04.2020.
Accordingly, his pay in Level 7 on 01 .04.2020 would be Rs. 62,200
(Level 7) with next date of increment on 01.07.2020, as Level remains
same.
The above mentioned pay protection under FR 22-B(1)
will.be available to the Government servant if he holds a lien on his
previous permanent post.
No stepping up of pay of senior
Government servant shall be allowed on the basis of the pay protection
granted under FR 22-B(1) to junior Government servants of that
particular service/ cadre.
This order takes effect from 01 .01 .2016.
In their application to the employees of Indian Audit and Accounts Department,
these orders are issued after consultation with the Comptroller &
Auditor General of India, as mandated under Article 148(5) of the
Constitution.

Subject: Grant of disability pension, comprising service
element and disability clement to pre-2006 disability pensioners, who
were boarded out from service, with less than 10 years of qualifying
service, due to an injury/ disability, attributable to Govt. service –
regarding.
The undersigned is directed to say that, considering the hardship
being faced by the disabled Government servants, covered under the
provisions of CCS (EOP) Rules, the Government had decided to dispense
with the minimum service required for earning service element of
disability pension, with effect from 01.01.2006 and orders were issued
vide OM No.33/5/2009-P&PW (F). dated 10th December 2010.
Also check: 7th CPC Concordance Table – Revision of pension pre-2016 pensioners/family pensioners
A doubt has been raised whether the provision of the
aforesaid OM, dated 10.12.2010, would be applicable to the Government
servants who were boarded out of service, prior to 01.01.2006, with a
qualifying service of less than ten years.
The matter has been
examined and it is clarified that Central Civil Government servants who
were boarded out, prior to 01.01.2006, with a qualifying service of less
than ten years and were in receipt of only the disability element of
disability pension, would also be eligible for the service element of
disability pension, w.e.f. 01.01.2006, in addition to the disability
clement.
For calculating the disability pension w.e.f.
01.01.2006, the disability pension comprising, both the service element
and the disability clement, will be notionally fixed from the date of
boarding out and the same will be notionally revised in accordance with
the orders tor revision of disability pension. issued from time to time.
The actual payment of such revised disability pension would be payable
only w.e.f. 01.01.2006, No arrears on account of grant of service
element, for the period prior to 01.01.2006, would be admissible. The
amount of service gratuity, if any paid, to the Government servant at
the time of boarding out would be adjusted from the arrears of pension
accruing as a result of these orders.
This issues with the
concurrence of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, vide
their ILD. Note No. 1(9)/EV/2019 dated 25/06/2020.
In their
application to the persons belonging to Indian Audit and Accounts
Department, these orders are issued under Article 148(5) of the
Constitution and after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India.
The Administrative Divisions of all Ministries
/ Department & attached / subordinate offices are requested to
bring the contents of these instructions to the notice of all concerned
for compliance.

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Government employees retiring during COVID pandemic will be
receiving “provisional” pension till their regular Pension Payment Order
is issued: Dr. Jitendra Singh
27 JULY 2020
Government employees retiring during COVID pandemic will be receiving
“provisional” pension till their regular Pension Payment Order (PPO) is
issued and other official formalities completed.
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North
Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions,
Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said that after the Modi
Government took over, the Department of Pensions had upgraded and
equipped itself to deliver the PPO to the concerned employee without
delay on the day of his or her superannuation. Besides this, in the last
few years, taking cue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on
digitalization, the Department of Pension
also created a Portal, which could be accessed by any government
employee approaching superannuation to find out the status of his or her
pension papers, he said.
However, because of the disruption in the official work due to COVID
pandemic and lockdown, Dr Jitendra Singh said, some of the employees who
had retired during this period may not have been provided with PPO.
But, as an evidence of the present government’s sensitivity towards the
pensioners and the senior citizens, a decision was taken that in order
to avoid a delay in the start of regular pension covered under CCS
(Pension Rules) 1972, the rules may be relaxed to enable seamless
payment of “Provisional Pension” and “Provisional Gratuity” till the
regular PPO is issued.
As per the OM (Office Memorandum) issued by Department of Pensions,
affiliated to the Ministry of Personnel, the payment of “Provisional
Pension” will initially continue for a period of six months from the
date of retirement and the period of “Provisional Pension” may be
further extended up to one year in exceptional cases. These instructions
shall also be applicable in cases where a government servant retires
otherwise than on superannuation i.e. voluntary retirement, retirement
under FR 56, etc.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, this decision has been taken considering that
because of the constraints of pandemic and lockdown, a government
servant may find difficulty in submitting his Pension Forms to the Head
of Office or may not be able to forward the Claim Form in hard copy
along with Service Book to the concerned Pay & Accounts Office in
time, particularly when both the offices are located in different
cities. This is very pertinent to Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs)
who are constantly on the move and whose Heads of Offices are located in
cities different from where the Pay & Accounts Office is located.
Vide another circular, Department of Pension & Pensioners’
Welfare (DOPPW) has directed all offices maintaining GPF (General
Provident Fund) Accounts to complete all credit entries including
accruing interest to the employees two years before retirement and then
one year before retirement so that Provident Fund is also paid
accurately in time.

To
The Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, Rashtrapati Bhawan New Delhi
Sub: Regularisation of leave in respect of absence during Lockdown period.
Sir,
The following suggestion are submitted for regularization of leave
for the absence period of Central Government Employees during lockdown
period due to COVID-19 :
A. For all such staff who were unable to attend office duty during lockdown period.
B.
For all such essential service staffs who were not listed in the duty
roaster by their head of office during the lock down period and couldn’t
attend office.
C. For all such staff who were unable to attend
office duty during unlock period for the reason their name has not been
included in the duty roaster.
D. For all such staff who were unable to attend office duty during unlock period for derth of communication facility.
E. All such absence should invariably be counted as duty.
2. Reintroduction of quarantine leave for the Central Government employees who are:
a) self-quarantined for co morbidity issue or have come across some COVID infected patients,
b) whose friends and relatives are Covid 19 infected and are leaving in proximity,
c) Asymptomatic patients who are self-quarantined.
Further we would like to point out the following:
Quarantine Leave, as was, should not be a regular leave and akin
to casual leave, it should not be treated as an absence from duty, but a
leave necessitated by orders not to attend office consequential to
presence of infectious diseases in the family or household of the
employee.
Quarantine leave was admissible earlier in cases of
cholera, smallpox, plague, diphtheria, typhus fever and cerebrospinal
meningitis. Now the issue of Covid 19 infection has to be included and
the Central Government has to be requested to reissue this order with
certain corrections.
As in case of casual leave, an employee on
quarantine leave should not be treated as absence from duty and his pay
and allowances are not to be intermitted.
However, unlike casual
leave, Quarantine leave may be combined with any other type of leave
except causal leave or special casual leave.
Quarantine Leave of 21 days (+ 9 days) to attend dependent in the family suffering from infectious disease should be allowed.
Sir, it may also not out of context to mention that evidences
available from various pay commission reports point toward existence of
Quarantine leave till introduction of CCS Leave Rules, 1972 and even
today it is existing in departments like OIDB (Oil Industry Development
Board) under petroleum ministry. Similar dispensation may also be
brought in for all Central Government employees at this situation of
Pandemic.
