Shiva Gopal Mishra GS/AIRF, Member Staff Side raised strong objections
against the ToR of 7th Pay Commission 7th Pay Commission Notified. Text
of letter to DoPT from National Council (Staff Side) is reproduced
below:-
NATIONAL COUNCIL (Staff Side)
Joint Consultative Machinery
for Central Government Employees
13-C, Ferozshah Road, New Delhi-110001
No.NC-JCM/2014/VII CPC
Dated: March 3, 2014
The Secretary,
Department of Personnel & Training,
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions,
North Block, New Delhi.
Dear Sir,
Sub:
Terms of Reference of the 7th Central Pay Commission It
is reported that, the Union Cabinet in its meeting, held on 28th
February, 2014, has approved the Terms of Reference of the 7th Central
Pay Commission. We have gone through the same. We find that the Terms of
Reference finalized by the Government is at variance in many respects
to the Draft Terms of Reference the Staff Side had submitted to you on
25.10.2014 after holding in-house discussion on 24.10.2013.
At
the conclusion of the meeting held on 24.10.2013, it was agreed that the
Government would consider our suggestions in the matter and will
convene another meeting with the presence of the Secretary (Expenditure)
to iron out the differences, if any, and explore the possibilities of
an agreement in the matter.
We regret to inform you that no such
meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the Official Side to
arrive at an agreed Terms of Reference. We find that the Government has
rejected our suggestions for either taking a decision in the matter of
Interim Relief, Merger of D.A., representation of labour nominee in the
Commission itself, inclusion of the Grameen Dak Sewaks within the
purview of the 7th CPC, bringing parity in pension between the past and
present pensioners, covering the employees appointed on or after
01.01.2004 within the ambit of the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, date
of effect, settlement of the pending items in the National Anomaly
Committee etc. or referring those issues to the Commission itself for an
Interim Report.
During discussions on 24th October, 2013, the
Staff Side had also pointed out that the proposals sent by various
ministries, seeking approval for rectification in VI CPC anomalies, are
pending with the Ministry of Finance, and requested that approval may be
given to all such proposals before finalization of VII CPC Terms of
Reference. It seems, no action has been taken on those proposals.
Besides,
we are to state that the existing Productivity Linked Bonus(PLB)
Scheme, being a bilateral agreement, cannot be subjected to scrutiny and
examination by the 7th CPC.
We, therefore, request you to kindly
convene a meeting of the Standing Committee of National Council (JCM)
to discuss the issue, so as to make amendments to the Terms of Reference
finalized by the Government arbitrarily.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
