Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances &
Pensions
Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh discusses Insurance and
Pension related issues with Dr Jitendra Singh
14 MAY 2018
A
delegation of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS),
represented by its
Pratiraksha (Industrial) unit called on the Union
Minister of State
(Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of
North Eastern
Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances
& Pensions,
Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh here today
and discussed wide
range of issues related to Central Government
employees, including
Insurance, Pension, promotions and other matters.
In a memorandum
presented to the Minister, the delegation submitted
that the Central
Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme was
notified on 1st November
1980 and came into effect from 1st January 1982. The
scheme is intended
to provide Central Government employees, at a low
cost, on a wholly
contributory and self-financing basis, the twin
benefits of an insurance
cover to their families in the event of death in
service and a lump-sum
payment to augment their financial sources on
retirement. However, the
BMS demands that the government should immediately
notify the customized
Group Insurance Scheme for Central Government
employees with low
premium and high risk cover.
The memorandum also expressed
discontentment of a section of employees for being left
out from the
provision of minimum guaranteed pension under National
Pension Scheme
(NPS). It requested that a minimum pension be
guaranteed equivalent to
50% of the employee's last drawn Basic Pay plus
Dearness Relief for
neutralization of price rise.
Among other issues raised by the
delegation was the demand for one-time relaxation for
compassionate
appointments. This has become important because a large
number of wards
are waiting for their appointment on compassionate
grounds to look after
their family.
The delegation also demanded the framing of an
appropriate transfer policy in all cadres in favour of
single
woman/single mother employees. They requested that
whenever such women
are given postings, it should be mandatorily ensured
that they are
placed at stations closest to their hometown or the
place of their
choice.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that he will direct the DoPT to
process the issues related to them, while other issues
related to other
Ministries will be referred for the perusal and views
of the respective
Ministries.
Give asset details or lose promotions and foreign
postings: Government to IAS officers
All
IAS officers have been asked to submit details of their
assets by next month and warned that the failure to do
so would lead to a denial of vigilance clearances needed
for promotions and foreign postings.
The
Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has written
to all Central government departments, states and union
territories asking them to ensure submission of
Immovable Property Returns (IPRs) by IAS officers
working with them by January 31, 2018.
"In
view of the DoPTs instructions dated April 4, 2011, it
is reiterated that failure to ensure timely submission
of IPR would result in denial of vigilance clearance,"
Establishment Officer and Additional Secretary P K
Tripathi said in the recent missive.
According to the 2011 instructions, officers who did
not submit their IPR as on January 1, 2018, on time
would be denied vigilance clearances and will not be
considered for promotions and empanelment for senior-
level posts in the government of India.
"Those who do not submit property details on time will
not be considered for any posts of the Central
government including foreign postings," a senior DoPT
official said.
An online module has been
designed for the purpose of filing of the IPR. Officers
have the option of uploading the hard copy of the IPR by
January 31 in the online module, the December 22 letter
said.
There are 5,004 Indian Administrative
Service (IAS) officers working across the country,
according to the DoPTs latest data.

Central Government paves way for employees timely promotions
New
Delhi: All central government departments have been asked to conduct
meetings of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) in time to check
“abnormal delay” in giving career benefits to employees.
The move comes after noticing cases of delay in holding the meeting of DPC - which decides on
employees’ promotions.
The
Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued instructions to
all the departments asking them to ensure timely promotions to the
employees by conducting meetings of DPC in time.
A model calender has also been issued by the DoPT in this regard.
It
has been brought to the notice of the government that many promotion
posts are lying vacant due to abnormal delay in convening DPCs.
“The
objective of timely promotions of employees in various ministries and
departments can be achieved only by holding DPC meetings.
“In view
of above, all ministries and departments are again advised to ensure
strict compliance of instructions in order achieve the desired
objectives of timely convening of DPCs/preparation of approved select
panels within the prescribed time frame,” the DoPT said in an order.
There are about 50.68 lakh central government employees.

Just ‘good’ won’t be good enough to get government employees an annual raise now
Central government employees will be entitled to annual increments and promotions, under a new pay structure that takes effect next month, only if they get a ‘very good’ on their report cards rather than just ‘good’ — the current benchmark.
The finance ministry on Tuesday notified new salaries and pensions as well as other recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission that will impact 4.7 million workers and 5.3 million pensioners.
The commission — which reviews pay grades and suggests hikes every 10 years — had recommended an increase of up to 23.55% in overall take-home amounts, fixed the minimum monthly pay at Rs 18,000, and revised the highest pay to Rs 2.5 lakh for officers of the rank of cabinet secretary, the highest ranking bureaucrat.
Beneficiaries will get arrears from January 2016, to be paid before March 31, 2017.
But with the higher salaries come rigorous performance checks and tougher promotion criteria for the bureaucracy.
“There is one significant aspect where this commission feels a change is required… The commission recommends this benchmark, in the interest of improving performance level, be enhanced from ‘good’ to ‘very good’,” the pay panel had suggested. This was accepted by the government.
The commission had also sought “more stringent criteria such as clearing of departmental examinations or mandatory training before grant of Modified Assured Career Progression”. A panel will now be appointed to streamline the national pension system. The revision is likely to cost the government Rs 1.02 lakh crore annually or 0.7% of GDP.

Grant of promotional increment under Rule 13 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008
to those promoted to identical Pay Band or Grade Pay shouldering higher
responsibilities:-

Subject: Grant of promotional increment under rule 13 of
RS(RP) Rules, 2008 to those promoted to identical Pay Band /Grade Pay
shouldering higher responsibilities.
Ref: Item no.1/2014 of PNM.
Sir,
In terms of rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008,
fixation of pay with one additional increment is admissible in the
situations of promotion from one Grade Pay to another. Prior to
implementation of above rules, fixation of pay on appointment from one
post to another was governed by Rule 1313(FR22)(1)(a)(1)R-II (still in
force) which provides for fixation of pay involving additional increment
appointment / promotion as per the provisions of Recruitment Rules in
the situations involving assumption of duties and responsibilities of
greater importance. Further, in terms of Rule 1313 (FR22)(III)R-II
appointment in identical pay scale is not to be deemed as a case of
assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance.
2. Consequent upon implementation of recommendations of 6th CPC there
were various situations of appointment to identical Pay in the nominal
promotional hierarchy of the employee and such posts could not be merged
(in terms of recommendations of 6th CPC envisaging merger of various
scales) and the posts continued to be feeder and promotional posts
though in same Grade Pay. There was marked assumption of duties and
responsibilities of greater importance. Such cases were examined with
Ministry of Finance and DOP&T and consequently, as agreed,
promotional benefit was extended to certain categories vide Board’s
letter No.PC-VI/2011/IC/1 dated 12.9.2013 (copy enclosed).
3. Now there are demands from the Federations for grant of benefit to certain other situations viz;
S.No
Feeder Category
Promotional Categories
Revised Pay structure(Pay Band, Grade Pay)
(i)
Track Maintainers-IV
Key man
PB-1 GP Rs 1800
(ii)

(iii)
Sr.ALP works under

(iv)

(v)

(vi)
Sr. Loco Pilot (Shunting)
Loco Pilot (Goods)
PB-2 GP Rs 4200
(vii)
Station Master
Section Controller
PB-2 GP Rs 4200
4. The issue has been examined and it has been observed item wise as under:
Item No.(i) Track Man to Key Man Item No.(ii) Peon to Record Sorter
Consequent to the implementation of 6th CPCs recommendations, the
pre-revised scales of Rs. 2550-3200, Rs. 2610-3540, Rs. 2650-4000 and
2750-4400 in respect of Group ‘D’ posts have been replaced by Revised Pay structure of Pay Band PB I and Grade pay Rs. 1800
and the functions etc of the posts are deemed to have merged. The
situation is common to all the erstwhile Group ‘D’ categories.
Accordingly the question of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of Revised pay
rules does not arise in these specific situations.
Further based on the report of the Committee set up by Board, the
category of Track Man/ Keymen etc is now being operated in four Grade
unified structure and in such a pay structure benefit is already
available on promotion from one Grade Pay to another and there is no
issue of non admissibility of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of RS(RP)
Rules 2008. (Reference: Board’s letter No 2010/CE-l(Spl)/GNS/15{Pt)
dated 17/08/2012) copy enclosed.
Item No. (iii) Sr. ALP to Loco Pilot (Shunting) Item No. ( v) Sr. Goods Guard to Passenger Guard Item No. (vi) Sr. Loco Pilot(Shunting) to Loco Pilot (Goods)
In respect of above situations of promotions in the identical scale
of pay, consequent to consultation with Ministry of Finance a detailed
clarification has been issued to zonal Railways vide Board’s letter No.
PCVI/2011/IC/l dated 22/05/2014 (copy enclosed) explaining the detailed
background, leading to admissibility of promotional pay fixation and the
methodology adopted for fixation of pay on promotion to identical grade
pay in different situations, in terms of Board’s letter
No.PC-Vl/2011/IC/1 dated 22/05/2014.
Item No.( iv): Commercial Clerk to Enquiry cum Reservation Clerk Item No. (vii) Station Master to Section Controller.
The above situations are result of lateral movement of employees from
one cadre to another on their own volition based on the option
furnished by them and not the cases of promotion in their normal
hierarchy. As per norms being followed, such situations are not being
considered for extension of benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 3 of
RS(RP) Rules 2008.
5. Keeping in view above position it is not feasible to agree to the demand.

3% reservation for differently-abled persons be given in all category of government jobs: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court today held that three per cent reservation for
differently-abled persons be given in all category of government jobs
including in appointments and promotions to IAS while pulling up the
Centre for "frustrating" the very purpose of empowering legislation by
opposing it.
A bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha said the
disabled persons have not got their due in the last 19 years after
framing of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, which was passed in
1995.
Additional Solicitor General Pinky Anand, appearing for
the Centre, contended that reservation cannot be given in case of
promotion to Group A and Group B officers category as it is not a case
of appointment.
The bench, however, observed that appointment is a broader concept and the Centre is giving a narrow interpretation of it.
"You are frustating the very reservation policy and cause of class for which Parliament passed the law," the bench said.
"For
the last 19 years it is not being implemented and the class, for which
the legislation was made, had not got benefited as it should have," the
bench said.
The court dismissed the petition of Centre
challenging order of Bombay High Court which had directed the Centre
and the Union Public Service Commission to implement a 3 per cent quota
in direct recruitments and promotions for the disabled in the IAS.
Income Tax Officers are not too happy with new promotion rule
IT officers not too happy with new promotion rule: The Hindu Business Line New Delhi, September 4
Better days are ahead for income tax officials, as the Government
will soon notify amendments in the recruitment rules. This will
facilitate promotions and direct recruitment, as approved under the
cadre restructuring plan.
However, the Gazetted Officers Association of the Income Tax
Department is not happy, as it wants the new posts of assistant
commissioners to be filled in one go, through promotions.
“The Department of Personnel and Training is expected to issue
amendments in the recruitment rules very soon,” a senior Revenue
Department official told BusinessLine.
On May 23, the Cabinet approved the proposal for creation of 20,751
additional posts in the Tax Department. This includes 1,349 posts in the
Indian Revenue Service (IRS) cadre and 19,402 posts in the non-IRS
cadre.
Due to some procedural issues, the Department is facing vacancies at
various levels. When the Cabinet approved the creation of additional
posts, it permitted, as a one-time measure, filling up these posts
through promotions, without amendments in the recruitment rules.
Accordingly, among others, 26 officials were promoted to the newly
created grade of ‘principal chief commissioners of income tax’.
Now, 17 out of these 26 officials have retired. To top it, there are
already four vacancies for members at the board level (sanctioned
strength of seven, including Chairman). These vacancies are affecting
decision making in the Department. As on August 1, posts vacant at the
level of the chief commissioners stood at 30, principal commissioners at
330, commissioner at 208 and additional/joint commissioners over 700.
But, the real issue is at the level of assistant commissioner of
income tax (ACIT), the entry level for Group ‘A’ service. Two sets of
people are appointed at this level – those in the IRS and income tax
officers. The cadre restructuring exercise decided to create 166
additional regular posts and 620 additional reserve posts at this. Along
with 563 vacancies arising out of promotions at a higher grade, a total
of 1,349 additional posts were created.
While all other newly created posts are to be filled in one go, for
the assistant commissioner level, the condition is that additional posts
are to be filled over five years. Every year, half of the posts are to
be filled by direct recruitment and the remaining through promotions.
“This will leave most of the newly created posts at assistant
commissioner level vacant for the first four years,” said Ajay Goyal,
President of the Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association.
He said nearly 600 officers were awaiting promotions since the past
14 years, and will now have to wait longer. In the last cadre
restructuring in 2001, around 1,000 additional posts of assistant
commissioner were filled through promotions, he added.

Clarification regarding fixation of pay under rule 13 on functional
promotions in various situations where feeder and promotional posts have
been placed in the same Pay Band and Grade Pay and where merger is not
feasible.
Both the Federations i.e. AIRF
and NFIR have taken up the issue in various fora regarding
admissibility of notional increment as per Rule 13 (1) of the Railway
Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 in the situations of promotions in
identical revised pay structure (viz. same Grade Pay and Pay Band )
consequent upon implementation of recommendations of Sixth Central Pay
Commission.
2. Prior to notification of RS (RP) Rules, 2008 (effective from
1.1.2006), fixation of pay in the cases of promotion etc. was governed
by the provisions of Railway Fundamental Rules its contained in Indian
Railway Establishment Code Vol. II viz. Rule 1313 (FR22)(I)(a)(1) read
with sub Rule (III) thereof. Consequent upon deliberations with
recognized staff Federations at different fora and consultation with
Ministry of Finance / DOPT, fixation of pay under Rule 1313 (FR22(I)(a)(
1)R-II was extended in certain situations of promotion from one post
to another in identical pay scale as an exception to general rules.
3. Fixation of pay on promotion in revised pay structure on or after
1.1.2006 is governed by Rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules,
2008. As a consequence of implementation of recommendations of Sixth
Central Pay Commission, various pre-revised scales have been merged and
got replaced by same revised pay structure (same Pay Band and Grade Pay)
leading to merger of corresponding posts as indicated in the foot notes
of Board’s letter No. PC VI/I/RSRP/1 dt. 11.9.2008 (as further
supplemented/modified from time to time). However, there are certain
specific situations on the Railways wherein it has not been feasible to
merge the feeder and promotional posts placed in same revised pay
structure (same Pay Band and Grade Pay) and such categories continue to
be operated as separate categories. Further, these posts are part of
normal promotional hierarchy of the employee ( i.e. other than the
situations arising than to movement of the employee to another cadre in
same revised pay structure through option), movement involves assumption
of duties and responsibilities of greater importance and benefit of
promotional increment was available even prior to implementation of
