7th Pay Commission : Guess who else is going to benefit from Central Govt Employees' pay hike!

7th Pay Commission : Guess who else is going to benefit from Central Govt Employees' pay hike!
It is not just Central government employees eagerly anticipating implementation of the 7th pay commission and take home higher monthly pay package.
Your next-door real estate agent, car dealer and consumer durables seller are also seen gaining from the pay commission hike. According to reports, almost 3.4 crore individuals (employees and pensioners) will witness increase in their incomes, resulting in a multiplier effect on a couple of professions. 
Real estate agent: Realty sector is expected to eventually succeed in shaking off the sluggish demand and witness spurt in the sale of houses in tier 1 and tier 2 cities as more than 80 percent of Central government employees lives in these cities
As a result of the foreseen demand, the Reserve Bank of India expects sharp, quick and continuous spurt in the housing index.
Car dealer: With implementation of the 7th CPC, your next door car or two wheeler dealer may rejoice too. The industry expects double digit increase in automobile sales especially two-wheeler, the mini and the compact hatch back segment. 
Consumer durables seller: The increase in disposable income will no doubt boost the disposable income leading to increased demand for consumer durables goods like refrigerators, TV etc
Banker: Of course, peaking demand for automobiles, real estate and consumer durable will create demand for consumer loans. The consumer loans section of banks and NBFCs will vie to get the larger share of the indirect gain from the 7th CPC salary hike.
The scenario of crores of potential customers and falling interest rate will announce a win win situation for the banks and consumers both.

Government has delayed 7th Pay Commission deliberately – NJCA

Government has delayed 7th Pay Commission deliberately – NJCA


NJCA
National Joint Council of Action
4, State Entry Road New Delhi – 110055

No.NJCA/2015 Dated: September 30, 2015
All members of the NJCA

Dear Comrade,

The National JCA met today on 30.09.2015. In the background of the engineered delay in the submission of the 7th CPC report, the meeting reviewed the decision to go for indefinite strike action commencing from 23rd Nov.2015 and arrived at the following conclusions.

1. The 7th CPC, as per the indication the NJCA had, concluded its deliberations and finalised its report. But due to the pressure exerted by the GOI the report is not likely to be out till the Bihar election is going to be concluded on 8.11.2015.

2. Even if the report is given, the Government might plead for some more time to consider the same and arrive at conclusions .

3. Even though the charter of demand contain other major issues, viz FDI, outsourcing, New Pension Scheme etc, the CPC related issues especially the revision of wages has its own significance and struggle without the said issue is impracticable.

4. The meeting also noted that after the impressive march to parliament held on 28th April, 2015, no serious programme of action was undertaken, which has created a certain complacency in the movement. The meeting noted the necessity to rejuvenate the NJCA functioning at all levels.

5. It was also noted that there are states which have not held the state level conventions and consequently have not brought into being the state apparatus required to spearhead a serious action like indefinite strike.

6. In view of above mentioned conclusions, the National JCA has decided to defer the strike action slated for 23rd November 2015 to a date during the Budget session of the parliament i.e from Feb to April 2016. The exact date of commencement of the strike will be decided by the National JCA when the 7th CPC report is available.

7. The NJCA also has decided to call upon all Federations of Central Government Employees to organise a massive protest demonstration in front of all work-spots/offices on 19th November 2015 wearies Black Badge to register our anger and resentment over the Government’s action in engineering delay in the submission of the report by the 7th CPC.

8. The National JCA leaders and all standing council members will sit on a day long Dharna at Jantar Mantar on 19.11.2015 by wearies Black Badge to highlight the anti worker attitude of the GOI and its concerted efforts to undermine the functioning of JCM.

With greetings

Encl: Resolution Comradely yours,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
Convener

RESOLUTION

1. The National JCA of Central Government Employee, which met today on 30.09.2015 at New Delhi strongly condemns the Governments’ action in engineering delay in the submission of 7th CPC report. The 7th CPC was to submit its report on 28th August 2015. i.e on the expiry of 18th months time provided to it by the Government as per the terms of reference. The demand for interim-relief and merger of DA was denied. The Government refused to amend the terms of reference despite repeated appeals made by the National JCA on several occasions.

2. The Charter of demand submitted by the National JCA to the cabinet Secretary realisation of which it has been decided to organize indefinite strike commencing from 23rd November 2015 has remained unattended and unsettled. No follow up action was initiated by the Government after discussion of the issues at the level of Secretary personnel held on 25th February 2015.

3. The National Council JCM has not met in the past 5 years even once, giving the impression that the Government’s intention is to award a natural death to the negotiating forums and compel the employees to tread the path of struggle for realization of the demands. Many departmental councils have been placed on hibernation for the part one decade.

4. The National JCA has come to the inescapable conclusion that the present Govt has no intention to reach out to a settlement on any issue pertaining to the Central Govt. Employees, given its anti labour, anti people attitude.

5. The National JCA has decided to call upon the Central Government Employees throughout the country to organise massive protest demonstration jointly on 19th November 2015 in front of all Offices/work place eliciting the participation of all employees workers and pass resolution and send the same to the Finance Minister and the Cabinet secretary.

Seventh Pay Commission – Why it is essential for central government employees?

Seventh Pay Commission – Why it is essential for central government employees?

 What is a Pay Commission? 

It is a commission, usually set up by the central Government with members from different branches including legal branches, once in ten years to recommend the pay structure of the Government and  PSU employees.The Government revises the pay of the Government employees, every after ten years. The recommendations of the pay commission is accepted as a base on which the Government takes the final decision about the pay revision of the employees.

In the past, the state Governments used to appoint separate pay commissions for their employees. But currently, the practice has been discontinued. Now many state Governments prefer to accept therecommendations of the central Government with some minor changes to suit their individual state.

So, the pay commission recommendations are applicable to the Government (State and Central) & PSU employees including armed forces but excluding college and university teachers of entities funded by UGC. Some private organisations also accept these recommendations. For the college and university teachers who coming under UGC, a separate pay commission is usually set up, by the government and itsrecommendations are considered for the college and university teachers.

What Critics have to Say?

Critics are always questioning ‘what is the need for a Central Pay Commission (CPC). It just increases the income of the Government Servants and creates a havoc in the economy’. Well, that may sound right, because its true that any Pay Commission do make some impact in the economy, because we are talking about a hike for lakhs of people in one shot.

But what they don’t take into consideration is, this is the only way a Government Employee can see a hike in his/her pay. In simple, without taking in to account the increase in Pay due to hike in DA and 3% annual increment a government employee works for ten years in the same pay.   At the end of the day it is the Pay Commission that fixes the bureaucrats’ pay for 10 long years.

Is It equal to all Grades?

Likely to come into effect from January 1, 2016, the officers and non-gazetted staff of various services have been lobbying hard to get a good deal from the 7th Pay Commission.

At the entry level, salary for all Group A Central services are the same, but thanks to faster promotions and two additional increments, the IAS have an edge over other Grade A services. Meanwhile the IRS ( Indian Revenue Service), who are entrusted with the job of collecting direct taxes, now claim that IRS should get better pay and perks than IAS. The reason they point out, ‘direct tax collection has grown 9.35 times between 2000-01 and 2013-14′. The IRS officers point out one more reason for demanding a good deal from the Pay Commission. For every Rs 100 they collect, the tax department spends merely 57 paisa. In percentage terms, the cost of revenue collection in India is 0.57% as against 1.58% in Japan, 1.35% in France, 1.17% in Canada and 1.05% in Australia.

If that’s not all, the IPS officers have submitted a memorandum quoting a number of reports to suggest that the tough life of a cop justifies the demand for a fatter hike in the same Grade of other services. For example, it has quoted articles published in two journals — Global Journal of Medicine and Public Health and International Journal of Pharma and Bio-Sciences — to conclude that one of two cops in India suffers from sleep disturbances and anxiety whereas chances of cardiovascular problems increase by 38% after a person joins as a police officer.  IPS wants better life and health insurance cover, an overtime allowance and also a new perk called allowance for “un-social” hours (for duty between 8 pm and 6 am).

Railway Officers too don’t want to be left behind in the race, they argue, their round the clock work deserves better salary.  “A railway officer may be called to join duty any time during the night. The pressure always remains as it’s a 24×7 work,” says RR Prasad, an Indian Railway Personnel Service officer and secretary general of Federation of Railways Officers’ Association. The officers want non-gazetted staff to get their dues but they demand the proportion of the pay of the lowest and the highest paid employee should increase from current 1:12 to 1:18.

On its part, the Indian Economic Service (IES) which has a cadre strength of 511 officers, represented in 55 Central government departments, has demanded parity in pay, perks and promotions of all services, including IAS, so that the “officers deliver what they have been employed for rather than fret over their pay and promotion prospects”.

Pay Commission’s Balancing Act

It is the Pay Commissions that tries to maintain a balance as far as inter-cadre pay difference is concerned. The pay commissions have worked to reduce the disparity among the officers of various services. Till the late 1980’s, an IAS officer used to receive a salary that is 25% higher than that of a Group A service officer. Today, the pay for all officers, at least at the entry level, is same. But IAS and Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers still maintain an edge over others as their empanelment process (a step to get higher posts) is much faster.

The important question now is, how far the 7th CPC will go in changing the pay based on associated serviceconditions like empanelment and promotions?  IAS Officers are quoting a 1991 Supreme Court judgement (Mohan Kumar Singhania and Others vs Union of India and Others) where it was said that other services should not approach the pay commissions and attempt to change the rules of career progressions and push for a case for parity with the premier service.

But other services are continuing their demand for pay parity and also for the creation of more departments where the IAS can’t dictate. At present, only three major ministries — railways, external affairs and post — are not headed by IAS but run by their own cadres. Now, IPS wants a new department of internal security headed by a cop and IRS wants a separate direct tax department headed by a taxman.

All eyes on 7th Pay Commission

With so much of buzz and arguments in the air, will the 7th Pay Commission bring a revolution? Will the 7thPay Commission bring a total change in the system? or will it, like the past few pay commissions , adopt a simple formula of Multiplier 3 under which the basic salary is hiked by three times or more depending on the economic health of the nation. Experts are of the opinion that, yes, the same old formula would be adopted. 

They argue that the 7th Pay Commission would not touch any aspects such as performance related pay, reduction of strength, reduction of retirement age etc that are politically sensitive and unpopular moves. If what they say is true, the ground situation is not going to change much. In the mean time ‘Let’s keep our fingers crossed’.

ONE RANK ONE PENSION announcement will be affected Seventh pay commission report badly

ONE RANK ONE PENSION announcement will be affected Seventh pay commission report badly 

New Delhi: The recent One Rank One Pension (OROP) announcement has to take it toll on Seventh pay commission report for central government employees.

The Government has announced the One Rank One Pension scheme for the Ex-Servicemen. The estimated cost of One Rank One Pension (OROP) on arrears alone to the exchequer would be Rs 8000 to 10000 crore at present, and will increase further in future.

Seventh pay commission will definitely bring also toll on the exchequer as government has to manage OROP’s expenditures before Seventh pay commission expenditures.

Experts say that Central government’s salary bill will rise by 9.56% to Rs 1,00,619 crore after Seventh pay commission will come into effect.

Pay commission report will be out in a few months. As the Pay Commission merges existing DA with basic salary of government employees, the annual pension costs will go up substantially; and that will rise further depending upon the actual pay hike that is considered.

Officials of the finance ministry argue that the next Budget will not be badly affected since there is a cushion provided by, for instance, low oil prices—the OROP arrears and pay commission are not to be paid out at one go, but will be paid in installments.

This OROP announcement will be affected Seventh pay commission report badly, especially in salary hike and increasing allowances,” said a pay panel official.

“We have to look financial health of government before submitting our report. We have to save financial position of government to run the nation smoothly. We are not only to work for pay hike.” he added.

Any Connection between report of 7th CPC and OROP announcement?

Is there any connection between the report of 7th CPC and OROP announcement?

“Is there any connection between the submission of report of 7th CPC to Central and the announcement of OROP to Defence Personnel?”

The 7th Pay Commission has announced through on its portal last month that the task was given by the Government to the commission will be completed within the time frame and the commission will submit its recommendations before September this year to Central Government.

Some believe that the two reports could be linked.

“The 7th Pay Commission is all set to submit its report to the Government before August 15.”

“The Prime Minister is expected to announce the implementation of OROP in his Independence Day address to the nation.”

According to unofficial sources, the 7th Pay Commission is going to submit its report to the Government before August 15. The fact that the commission has completed its work much ahead of its deadline is indeed commendable. This is the first time in the history of Pay Commissions that a Commission has completed its report ahead of its deadline. Pay Commissions are synonymous with arrears. Last time, 20-month arrears were paid in two installments. If the new Pay Commission’s recommendations are implemented on time, it would be another first – the first to not have any pending arrears.

On June 24, the Pay Commission itself said on its website that the report-preparation is in its final stage, and that work will be completed on schedule. The announcement was welcomed by Central Government employees, and helped clear lot of doubts in their minds.

www.gservants.com has plenty of unconfirmed reports on various issues related to the 7th Pay Commission, including a minimum basic pay of Rs.21000, removal of the Grade Pay system that was introduced by the 6th Pay Commission, and a uniform 2.86 multiplication factor for all grades. The website also said that the leaders of railway employees federation had informed that the 7th Pay Commission will submit its report on August 30. This created tremendous excitement among Central Government employees.

Meanwhile, a popular English newspaper reported that the Pay Commission will submit its report towards the end of October.

In the midst of all these uncertainties, there comes another unconfirmed report that the recommendations will be submitted well before August 15. It adds that the Prime Minister will also announce the OROP scheme in his Independence Day speech.

We have been unable to find out if the 7th Pay Commission has any recommendations on OROP. But, there is wide expectation that the report will have some suggestions related to it.

What are the expectations of the Central Government employees from the 7th Pay Commission?

What are the expectations of the Central Government employees from the 7th Pay Commission?

“It is impossible for the 7th Pay Commission to fulfill all the demands of the Central Government employees. The question is – will it at least address the concerns of majority of them?”

The media is full of unconfirmed reports on the submission of 7th Pay Commission report to Central Government. Recently in an interview with a leading English newspaper, Neelakanth Mishra, India equity strategist of Credit Suisse expressed his strong opinions about the 7th Pay Commission and the implementation of its recommendations.

The big question is – what are the expectations of the Central Government employees from the 7th Pay Commission?

In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Neelkanth Mishra said that there are possibilities of a 40% hike in the salaries of Central Government employees. He believed that the 7th Pay Commission will submit its report to the Government in the month of September and the recommendations will be implemented next year.

The employees are likely to get a hike of 30-40%. This time around, the implementation wouldn’t be like it was previously, during the 6th Pay Commission, due to the amount of arrears (it is worth mentioning that the arrears dues were paid in two installments during the 6th Pay Commission). He said that the economic status of Central Government employees would increase enough to afford a car.

His forecast has to be taken seriously. On August 15, 2008, the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had announced that the 6th Pay Commission will come into effect from September onwards. More than the salary hike, the employees were curious to know about the arrears and how they were going to get it, because the sum was huge.

The employees didn’t make such a huge fuss about the increment they had received. Instead of small hike that was added to the salary, they were more interested in the lump sum arrears. Since it was impossible to clear 30-months’ arrears in a single payment, the government was forced to release it in two installments.

But this time, the government is particular about giving an increment in salary and allowances without keeping any pending arrears. Therefore the employees are curious to know about their salary hikes.
