7th Pay Commission: Plight of the pensioners


7th Pay Commission: Plight of the pensioners

The present Modi government has not been very considerate in the welfare of central government employees. During 10 years, two pay commissions have been formed and their recommendations have been accepted with minor modifications.

The last pay commission formed in 2006 had recommended a 20 per cent hike in salaries and pensions which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008. In conformity with the pay scale, the pay and allowances of the president, Vice President and Governor's have also been increased in the same proportion.

As any old pensioner, can feel that the formulators of the 7th Pay Commission have not been so considerate with the pensioners. Instead of recommending 24 per cent percent increase, the 7th pay commission copied the recommendation of the sixth pay commission.

This is: a 20 percent increase in case of pensioners 80 years of age and above, 30 percent increase in case of pensioners 85 years of age and above, 40 percent increase in case of pensioners 90 years of age and above, 50 percent increase in case of pensioners 95 years of age and above and 100 percent increase in case of pensioners 100 years of age and above.

While life expectancy of an Indian is around 66.21 years, how do they get pension on the age of 80 years and above.

Introduction of a Health Insurance Scheme for Central Government employees and pensioners was recommended by the 7th pay commission but the government was not accept it till date.

The 7th pay commission also recommended, for the benefit of pensioners residing outside the CGHS areas, CGHS should empanel those hospitals which are already empanelled under CS (MA)/ECHS for catering to the medical requirement of these pensioners on a cashless basis but the government did not took the decision in this regard.

The 7th pay commission didn’t enhance Medical Allowance Rs 500 per month and the government referred this case to Finance Secretary committee of allowances to study and to give the suggestion.

The pensioners are a spent-up force and are not in a position to exert any influence. Therefore, it is their hope that the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will take a rational view on the plight of the senior citizens and increase the pensioners’ above benefits.

7th CPC Anomalies – NCJA

 7th CPC Anomalies – NCJA

National Joint Council of Action
4, State Entry Road, New Delhi — 110055
No.NJC/2016/7th CPC
August 12, 2016
To
All Constituents of NJCA 

Dear Comrades,

We have been receiving communication from various organizations as also from individual employees after the promulgation of the notification by the Government on 7th CPC recommendations. Most of these communications had been to express the anxiety and in some cases anger too over the delay in setting up the high level committee, assured by the Group of Minister to review the minimum wage and multiplication factor.

We have been pursuing the said issue on a day to day basis and we are fully appreciative of the apprehensions expressed in many of these letters. Since the decision making in the Government is a long procrastinated matter involving various levels and departments, such delays are not uncommon. But we have been informed as to why the assurances held out have not been translated into action.

We have also noted that in the absence of the JCM functioning especially at the Departmental levels of various Ministries, the department specific anomalies and demands are not being subjected to any meaningful negotiations with the respective organizations. We have addressed the Cabinet Secretary to hold a special discussion with us on this subject immediately. Copy of our letter is enclosed.

On 12th August, 2016, we have met the Secretary Pensions to convey our strong resentment over the decision to allow the Option No. 1 given to the pensioners to be implemented subject to feasibility. We have reiterated that while we are open to discussion as to the methodology of verification of the claims of individual petitions in respect of Option No.1, we would not be able to countenance of the non implementation of the recommendation of the 7th CPC on the flimsy ground of non availability of records.
The available NJCA members met today at Delhi to review the situation in the background of the feeling conveyed to us through letters from various organizations. We have after taking note of the anxiety expressed and the ongoing discussions with various authorities over the setting up of the high level committee to wait up to the end of this month before we embark upon any action for the setting upon of the said high level committee. The employees may be apprised of this decision through the requisite campaign programme.
In the meantime, we must endeavour to support the one day strike action slated for 2nd September, 2016 for which the call has been given by the Central Trade Unions (including independent Federations) to the best of the ability of the respective organizations as the objective of the strike is the betterment of the working people in our country.

7th CPC Anomalies
All the Constituents Organizations are requested to forward the various anomalies arising out of the implementation of the 7th CPC notification / CCS (RP) Rules 2016 to the Staff Side office with brief / illustration etc. within in 15 days from today so as to enable us to study and forward the same to the Anomaly committee for settlement.

With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
