Central government employees waiting for Seventh Pay commission and interim relief

• Pay commission was formed in February 2014

• Workers waiting for Interim Relief

• Pay commission busy with the necessary process

• Conditions will be applicable from 01 January 2016

• More than 50 Lakh Central government employees will be benefitted

Even though the Seventh Pay commission was formed by the Manmohan Singh government before the advent of Election for the sake of a Political advantage, this was pleasant news for the Central Government Employees.

Soon after the formation, the Pay commission has also started meeting the relevant Employee Organisations. Meeting different organisations and obtaining their opinions are still in progress. The Pay commission has also visited various cities for this cause.

Meeting Employees and Organisations in different cities and understanding their living conditions is the general functional procedure of the Pay commission. It is to be known that the recommendation for House Rent Allowance is also given by the Pay Commission.

The Sixth Pay commission was released to the Employees in 2006. The recommendations of the Pay commissions are provisioned to be accepted after 10 years. Now the recommendations of the Pay Commission are to be implemented by the government before Janurary 2016.

Another important point for the Pay commission to work on is the Dearness Allowance which has already crossed 100 percent. It is a common practice that employees are given an Interim relief when the Dearness Allowance crosses 100 percent. This is also to be considered by the Government and the Pay commission.

Sources say that the declaration by the government may be done during or before the budget session.

The pay commission is also taking a memorandum from the Employee Unions and Organisations. As always, even this time every Employee is looking forward to the Railway Federation, as the Railway Employee Union is believed to be very strong. It is believed that the conditions and directions of the Pay commission are influenced to a very large extent by the Railway union. The defence organisation is also very strong, but they didn’t accept the conditions of the Sixth Pay Commission, and later their pay scale was modified. For this reason, all the Central government employees have fixed their sight on the Railway Union.

This time, Railways has been divided into two big Employee unions for the sake of Pay. Now, only time can tell how fruitful will this strategy will prove to be.

Sri B.V.Sudhakar, Chief Postmaster General launched a programme named "GUPPADU BIYYAM" at Regional office, Vijayawada on 02.01.2014. Under this Programme, the employees of Postal Department will save a fistful of rice and other commodity every day and will donate the entire quantity collected through the entire staff of the office at the end of the month to orphanages and old age homes.  

Modimetrics raises efficiency of Central government employees

Modimetrics raises efficiency of Central government employees

Central government employees seem to be on their toes and are spending extra time in their offices ever since the Aadhaar enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) was launched in September 2014.

 

An analysis of the last three months show that employees are spending nearly twenty minutes extra in office every day. If this is converted into man-days with an average of 8.5 hours per working day, the gain is equivalent to an additional workforce of almost 1,900 employees every single day.

 

The assessment is based on the 'in-time' and 'out-time' recorded by the system that has shown an increase over the last three months. "Ever since the system was launched, the average presence time in office of the registered employees has risen by about 20 minutes per day. Considering that over 47,000 employees are using it now, an average gain of 20-minutes per day means an approximate gain of 16,000 man-hours," said a government official.

 

The study shows that the average 'in-time' of the staff was 9.28 am and the average 'out-time' of the staff has been recorded at 5.46 pm.

 

Marking attendance has still not been made mandatory, once that happens the average presence of employees is expected to increase further by 15 to 20, according to the analysis. Sources say, officials spending more time at work could also lead to more productivity and cutting down on pendency. Currently, 387 organisations have implemented the biometric system of attendance. The project is being expanded to all government offices.

 

The government has already issued orders for all central government offices across India to have an Aadhaar enabled Biometric Attendance System by Republic Day.

 

"The manual system of attendance may be phased out accordingly. The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) will provide the technical guidance for installing the system. These orders come into force with immediate effect. All ministries are requested to bring this to the notice of all concerned," the order of the Department of Personnel and Training said.

 

The government has also specified that disciplinary actions may be taken against officials who are habitual late-comers and also stated that early departure from work will also be treated as a violation similar to late-coming.

 

The Biometric Attendance System Dashboard (www.attendance. gov.in), which keeps updating itself in real time, throws out some interesting statistics. The dashboard on January 3, which was a Saturday and an off day for government employees, showed that 31.6 per cent of the staff showed up before the office start time of 9 am while, 38.8 per cent of the registered employees marked their presence between 9 and 10 am.

 

Despite a holiday, the dashboard shows that 6,267 employees who turned up for work and were in office quite early. Currently the office timing in ministries and departments of the government are from 9 am to 5.30 pm and for attached or subordinate office from 9.30 am to 6.00 pm without any option of flexi-time.

2014 – An Unforgettable Year for Central Government Employees..!

2014 was a year of expectations, disappointments, and trials and tribulations for Central Government Employees and Pensioners too.

About Central Govt Employees at a glance 2014 – This article brings you some important events and announcements…

Strike: The year began with a collective decision of all employees federations to go on a strike demanding, among other things, 50% DA merger, and date of effect of the 7th CPC. When it became clear that there was going to be a change of government at the Centre, the federations began to plan their moves in order to somehow convince the Congress Government to accept their demands. At last, the Confederation alone held protests on February 10 and 11. Other federations announced that they want to resolve the issue by holding talks and withdrew their strike plans. But the Central Government remained unmoved.

Retirement Age: A huge rumour started that in a desperate attempt to secure votes, the party at the Centre would be more than willing to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. Despite a number of questions that were raised in the Parliament, and clarifications that were given for it, the topic somehow never quite died away. At least once every year, the issue makes headlines and vanishes.

7th Pay Scale: All the employees federations and associations, including the National Council – JCM, presented separate memorandums to the 7th Pay Commission listing their demands and expectations. Of particular interest was the ‘Expected Pay Structure‘, which described how the new pay package should be.

Income Tax: Since there were earlier news that the new income tax limit would likely be raised to Rs. 5 lakhs, a lot was expected from Arun Jaitley. But, he raised the income tax limit to Rs. 2.5 lakhs and the 80C limits to Rs. 1.5 Lakhs.

6-day work week: A lot of buzz was created when news appeared that 6-day work week was going to be soon implemented, particularly in Delhi circle.

Aadhaar Based Biometric Attendance System: Biometric attendance system, based on finger prints, were implemented in Central Government offices all over the country. Aadhaar Card-based attendance system was also introduced.

Air Travel on LTC: The popular air travel LTC facility was extended by another two years in September. In addition to J&K and NER, the facility now covers Andaman and Nicobar Islands too.

New announcements kept pouring in after Modi Government took charge.

Clean India: Orders were issued to clean up the country under the ‘Swachh Bharat’ mission. Since the movement was going to be launched on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the national holiday was cancelled.

Declaration of Assets: Central Government employees were asked to submit information about their assets and debts to the government.

Digital Life Certificates: In November, the Central Government made arrangements to issue Aadhaar Card-based ‘Digital Life Certificates’ for pensioners.

Retirement Age 58: Fear and tension prevailed among Central Government employees when announcements appeared that the Centre was actually planning to reduce the retirement age. The Government then denied such plans.

Launching of "Nanyata" an android software to monitor Letter Box clearances in Visakhapatnam of AP Circle

Launching of "Nanyata" an android software to monitor Letter Box clearances in Visakhapatnam of AP Circle

Android software for monitoring of letter box clearances is planned to be expanded all over Andhra Pradesh and Telangana by June-July 2015, Chief Post Master General B.V. Sudhakar has said 

He told reporters after launching the software ‘Nanyatha’ at Lawson’s Bay Post Office here on Tuesday that by January-end it would cover all the post offices in Visakhapatnam. The monitoring is already in place in Hyderabad and Vijayawada.

The software is aimed at cutting delay at clearance stage to address a frequent complaint over delay in delivery. The man clearing the post box will be given an android phone and the post-box lid will have a bar code. Using the device, he has to send the number of letters cleared to the AP Posts website which then scans the bar code to identify where it has been cleared, by whom and what time. Postal Department has plans to implement the software, developed in house, all over the country.

Mr. Sudhakar said the AP Circle has been leveraging technology to improve services and business deficit was brought down from Rs.465 crore in 2011-12 to Rs.387 crore in 2012-13 and to Rs.265 in 2013-14. “Contrary to popular perception, our business is increasing and the number of letters delivered has gone up from 19 lakh every day in the previous year to 22 lakh this year,” he said. 

Mr. Sudhakar said soon the facility to withdraw cash, up to Rs.1,000, at post offices by swiping would be introduced. In the next phase, it would be extended to cashless transactions for booking speed post, registered post, parcels etc by using credit and debit cards. To improve its business, it has sought AP Government’s permission to sell non-judicial stamp papers. It would also explore the possibility of entering e-commerce by developing a website to market products.

He said that the Andhra Pradesh circle has decided to sell Tirumala Darshan  tickets of Rs 50 and Rs 300 denomination through all 95 head post offices in  Andhra Pradesh and Telangana region from January 5, 2015. The facility would be  extended all sub-post offices in the circle from February 2015, he said.

Government to amend rules to check arbitrary suspension of officials

Government to amend rules to check arbitrary suspension of officials

The Centre has decided to amend rules to check arbitrary suspension of IAS, IPS and IFoS officials and to bring in uniformity in procedure to be followed for conducting disciplinary proceedings against them. 

The information regarding suspension of an IAS, IPS and IFoS official by a state has to be immediately communicated to the Centre by the fastest means, said the rule proposed to be amended by the central government. 

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has written to all state governments and cadre-controlling authorities seeking comments on the proposed changes in all India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969. 

Every order of suspension and revocation shall be made in a stipulated standard form and "the reasons for every such order shall also be communicated to the appointing authority and the lending authority, through confidential letters along with the order itself", reads the proposed rule. 

The states will also have to send a detailed report on any order of suspension of an officer of all India services-- Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFoS)--to the central government within a period of fifteen days of the date on which the officer is suspended or is deemed to have been suspended, according to it. 

The authority should forward copy of appeal and its comments together with the relevant records to the appellate authority within one week of the receipt by a state government and without waiting for any direction from the central government. 

"If the original appeal along with the comments of the state government is not received by the central government within stipulated period, the central government would take a decision on the advance copy of the appeal received by them," the proposed rule said. 

The Centre may at any time, either on its own motion or otherwise, review any order passed under the rules, if there are reasons to believe and to be recorded in writing that injustice is being meted out to a member of service, as per the suggested changes. 

DoPT officials said the rules are proposed to be changed to check arbitrary suspensions of officials and to have uniform procedure for following disciplinary proceedings. 

Comments or views on the proposed amendment in the rules may be sent by January 7. "If no reply is received by the stipulated date in the Department, it will be presumed that the state government has no objection to the proposed amendment," the DoPT said.
