 Subject:- Recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission declared  and submitted to the Central Govt. on 19-11-2015.

Dear Sh. Mishra ji,

I understand from your letter No.NC/JCM/2015,dated.20-11-2015 (enclosed) that you are going to have a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary (GOI) shortly on the Recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission declared and submitted to the Central Govt. on 19-11-2015.

As per the demands of the Central Government Employees, the following details have not been considered for inclusion in the report of the 7th CPC.

1.  Defined Pay scales of each Posts (Ministry-wise) has not been given in the Pay Commission report.

2.  Grade Pay which was a major chunk of benefit (existence for 10 years) with the Basic Pay has been withdrawn. This amount needs to be restored for.

3. Promotional avenues of employees on regular basis has to be worked out by the Central Government for granting at least 5 promotions during their entire service  of 32-36 years of Central Government Service .These details needs to be included in the report. However, giving the MACP benefit after 10,20 and 30 years of service should not replace the regular time bound promotions to the next higher posts in the form of one annual increment for each MACP benefit at periodic intervals. These details are required to be included in the Pay Commission Report rand all employees needs to be granted regular time bound promotions. Otherwise the dead services should be abolished where there are no promotional benefits for their employees.

For Example:-

For example -A person who has been recruited at the age of 25 years in the post of Accountant through the Staff Selection Commission under the office of Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, Lok Nayak Bhawan, Khan Market, New Delhi will be promoted to the next promotion of Senior Accountant with in a span of 3 to 4 years. Thereafter, he will have to wait for another 26 years when the concerned Senior Accountant will be eligible for consideration for promotion to the next post of Asstt. Accounts Officer under the 10 % promotion quota prescribed by the office of the Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, New Delhi. Even than also he is not sure whether he will get the benefit of a next higher promotion to the post of Asst. Accounts Officer post under the O/o The CGA.

Further, in the case of an Accountant, he is given only one Time bound promotion on the basis of Seniority-cum-Fitness basis to the next higher post of Senior Accountant and remains a Senior Accountant for the next 30-35 years under the 10 % promotion quota prescribed for the post of Senior Accountants. Whereas, an ICAS Officer (Group A officer) gets 7-8 grade time bound promotions within a span of 30-32 years. An Asstt. Controller of Accounts (ACA) in Group “A” reaches the post of the Controller General of Accounts” with in a span of 30-32 years. So much disparity between the two set of service conditions is unjustified and needs to be considered and relooked by the Pay Commission Implementation Committee being set-up by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, New Delhi.

4.  The monthly deductions of CGHS, CGEGIS, License Fee and other deductions worked out the 7th Central Pay commission heavily out-weigh the Pay benefits being granted to a Central Government Employees. This should be looked into very closely and the realistic position and Pay benefits needs to be redefined in the Pay Commission for the benefit of all Central Government Employees.

5.  I would be grateful, the above cited details are considered favourably by the JCM and by the Implementation Cell set-up by the Central Government for implementing the 7the CPC in right earnest and the Central Government Employees are not cheated with the jugglery of Figures worked out by the commission and  indicated in the Pay Commission Report.

 Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Comrades,

Sub: Meetings with the VII CPC and the Cabinet Secretary

Today I met the Chairman, VII CPC, Justice Shri Ashok Kumar Mathur, and expressed our anguish against retrograde recommendations of VII CPC, particularly reg. Minimum Wage, reduction in HRA and CCL, non-redressal of NPS, abolition of various allowances, examination of MACP benefit, etc. etc.

Though he had given argument, but I told him about the anguish of all the constituents of the JCM(Staff Side), who feel that they have been betrayed by the VII CPC.

Comrades! I have also met the Cabinet Secretary, Shri P.K. Sinha, in the afternoon and handed him over a copy of the attached letter and requested him to convene meeting of the NC/JCM at an earliest as well as to intervene in the matters raised by the JCA in case of report of VII CPC at an earliest. The Cabinet Secretary has promised that he would try to fix the meeting at an earliest and also look into the points raised by the NC/JCM(Staff Side) for VII CPC.

With fraternal greetings!
Yours faithfully,

Recommendation: - The committee carefully considered the demand for treating the Gramin Dak Sevaks as civil servants at par with other regular employees for all purposes, and noted the following:
(a) GDS are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural areas.
(b) As per the Recruitment Rules the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is class X.
(c) GDS are required to be on duty only for 4 to 5 hours a day under the terms and conditions of their service.
(d) The GDS are remunerated with Time Related continuity Allowance (TRCA) on the pattern of pay scales for regular Government employees plus DA on pro-rata basis.
(e) A GDS must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS to sustain himself and his family.

Government of India has so far held that GDS is outside the Civil Service of the Union and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government Employees. The Supreme Court Judgment also states that GDS are only holder of Civil posts but not civilian employees. The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no recommendation with regard to GDS.
