Sir,
Sub:
- Agenda items for meeting of the JCM
(NC) Standing Committee
Ref: - Your
letter No. F. No. 3/3/2019-JCA-I dated 27.09.2016 addressed to Secretary, Staff
Side
I forward herewith 8 additional
items for inclusion in the agenda for the Standing Committee meeting slated for
25th October 2016.
Thanking
you,
Yours
faithfully
(Shiva
Gopal Mishra)
Secretary,
Staff Side
1.
Amendment to the
definition of anomaly as notified by Government in the orders of constitution
of anomaly committees at various level.
The
DOPT&T has notified the definition of anomaly arising from the 7th
CPC recommendation vide their OM No. 11/2/2016-JCA dated 16th August
2016 as under:“(1) Definition of
AnomalyAnomaly will include the following cases
(a)
Where the Official Side and the Staff Side are
of the opinion that any recommendation is in contravention of the principle of
the policy enunciated by the 7th Central Pay Commission itself
without the Commission assigning any reason, and
(b)
Where the maximum of the Level in the Pay
Matrix corresponding to the applicable Grade Pay in the Band Band under the
pre-revised structure as notified vide CCS (RP) Rules 2016 is less than the
amount an employee is entitled to be fixed at as per the formula for fixation
of pay contained in the said Rules”
The
Anomaly normally arises due to the recommendation of the Pay Commission having
been acted upon without going into the ramification of such action on similarly
placed employees in various other organisations.
In
this connection, we may refer to the OM No. 19/97-JCA, DOP&T, dated the
February 6, 1998 where the anomaly was defined as under, on reaching an
agreement between the Staff Side and the Group of Ministers on 11.9.1997.
“(1) Definition of
Anomaly Anomaly will include the following
cases:
(a)
Where the Official Side and the Staff Side are
of the opinion that the vertical/horizontal relativities have been disturbed as
a result of the Fifth Central Pay Commission Report in a manner leading to
grave dissatisfaction and adverse impact on efficiency;
(b)
Where the Official Side and the Staff Side are
of the opinion that any recommendation is in contravention of the principle of
the policy enunciated by the 7th Central Pay Commission itself
without the Commission assigning any reason, and
(c)
Where the maximum of the Level in the Pay
Matrix corresponding to the applicable Grade Pay in the Band Band under the
pre-revised structure as notified vide CCS (RP) Rules 2016 is less than the
amount an employee is entitled to be fixed at as per the formula for fixation
of pay contained in the said Rule
(d)
Where the amount of revised allowance is less
than the existing rate”.
We
request that the definition of anomaly may be replaced with what is stated in
the OM dated February 6, 1998.
2.
Withdraw the
stringent conditions unilaterally imposed by Government for grant of Modified
Assured Career Progression (MACP) promotion and grant MACP on promotional
hierarchy. Personnel promoted on the basis of examination should be treated as
fresh entrant to the cadre for grant of MACP. The pre-appointment induction
training period may be counted as regular service for grant of MACP as it is
counted for increment.
It
was in the background of extreme stagnation, especially in the lower cadres,
the 5th CPC was approached for a promotional scheme which must not
be linked with vacancies but on time bound basis. The 5th CPC in
appreciation of the genuine aspirations of the low paid employees as also
taking into account the practice followed in Government services of cetain
State Govts introduced the ACP scheme assuring minimum two financial
upgradations (promotions) in the service career of a person. The ACP, as is
known when granted, does not make the incumbent to function in a post with
higher responsibility but continue to be in same cadre/grade but with higher
remuneration.
The
6th CPC did not make any great deviation of the scheme. But the
Govt., acceding to the demand of the Staff Side, improved the 2 time-bound
promotions as 3 promotions under the MACP scheme. However, while issuing the
orders the scheme was made applicable, unlike ACP, only Grade Pay based
financial upgradation as recommended by the 6th CPC. Between 2006-11,
the Staff Side had pointed out on innumerable occasions, the anomalies the said
decision created and having obtained no redressal the employees were driven to
courts, whose decisions were not allowed to be given effect to.
The
7th CPC recommendations gave the impression that it has appreciated
the concern of Staff Side and had suggested for a cadre hierarchy based MACP
scheme. The order issued by the DOPT on 27.9.2016 belies that in as much as it
is stated in Para 3.2 as under:
“The
MACPS envisages merely placement in the immediate next higher level in the Pay
Matrix as given in Part A of Schedule of the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016.
Thus the level in the Pay Matrix at the time of financial upgradation under the
MACPS can, in certain cases where regular promotion is not between two
successive levels in the Pay Matrix, be different than what is available at the
time of regular promotion. In such cases, the higher level in the Pay Matrix
attached to the next promotion post in the hierarchy of the convened
cadre/organisation will be given only at the time of regular promotion”.
Besides,
the Govt. has accepted the recommendation of 7th CPC in Para 5.1.45
making Bench-mark of ‘very good’ as the primary criterion for MACP.
We
request that the order making MACP level bases hierarchy instead of cadre based
hierarchy must be rescinded as the changed scheme has been less beneficial to
large number of employees compared to ACP and it has given rise to anomalies in
Pay between two schemes of employees in the same cadre.
Secondly,
the stipulation of Benchmark “Very Good” for MACP is untenable and the MACP is
only financial upgradation and does not devolve any additional responsibility
and the individual concerned continues to function in the same grade and cadre
even after grant of MACP. It may also be noted that “Very Good” is not a bench
mark even today for promotion in Gr B and C cadres.
When
the intention is only financial upgradation in view of the long number of years
one has put in, the stipulation of Bench March “Very Good” is wrong and
deserves to be withdrawn.
Two
other issues requiring consideration and acceptable are:
(1) The
personnel promoted to a cadre bases on examination must be treated as new
direct entrant to that cadre and MACP to be related with the date of entry to
that cadre;
(2) The
pre-appointment induction training period is to be counted as regular service
period for the purpose of MACP.
3.
Removal of
ambiguity in fixation of pay of re-employed Ex-Servicemen and grant of the same
benefit extended to Commissioned officers to personnel Below officers Rank
also.
The pay fixation of re-employed Ex-Service men who held
the rank below commissioned officers/Group A at the time of their re-employment
is not carried out in many departments as per Government orders on the subject
issued from time to time due to misinterpretation/wrong clarification by the
administrative authorities. The re-employed Ex-service men personnel below the
officers Rank are being deprived the minimum pay of the post from which they
are retired from Army, instead their pay is fixed at the minimum of the
re-employed post only, whereas those who retired as commissioned officers/Group
A is extended differential treatment and their pay is fixed at a higher stage
due to their past service benefit. Fresh orders/amendments be issued free from
any scope for misinterpretation/ambiguity, clearly mentioning the fixation of
pay of the re-employed Ex-Service men belonging to below officer rank, at the
same stage as the last pay drawn before retirement from army, ignoring the
entire portion of pension since the pension is minuscule and not even enough to
lead a decent living.
4.
Permission to
opt for pay fixation in the Revised pay structure on a date after the date of
issue of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 notification (25.07.2016) in case of employees
whose promotion become due after 25.07.2006.
As
per the clarification issued by Department of Expenditure (Implementation cell)
on 29th September 2016, in case and employee is promoted or upgraded
to the higher pay structure (in the pre-revised pay structure) he may be
permitted to exercise revised option as per FR 22 (i) (a) (i) to have his pay
fixed under the Revised Pay Rules 2016, from the date of such
promotion/upgradation or from the date of next increment. As per this rule and
employee who is promoted/upgraded on 24.07.2016 (one day before the date of
issue of notification) can opt for fixation of his revised pay on the date of
next increment which falls on 01.07.2017. This facility is available only for
those employees who are promoted before 25.07.2016 (date of notification of CCS
(RP) Rules 2016). If an employee is due for promotion on 26.07.2016 (one day
after the date of notification) he cannot opt to fix his revised pay under the
CCS (RP) Rules 2016 on the date of next increment i.e. 01.07.2017. This is a
clear case of discrimination and amounts to creation of a class within a class.
Hence the option for fixation of pay under CCS (RP) Rules 2016 from the date of
next increment, may be extended to the employees who are due for promotion
after the date of issue of notification i.e. 25.07.2016 also.
5.
Extension of
the benefit of bonus calculation ceiling enhancement to Rs. 7000/- to Gramin
Dak Sevaks (GDS) of the Postal department also.
The
above benefit is yet to be granted to the GraminDakSevaks for want of approval
of the Finance Ministry. The GDS Committee constituted to revise the wages and
service conditions of GDS has already recommended to grant enhanced ceiling of
Rs. 7,000/- to GDS also and their suggestion is pending with the Govt. for
action. We request that orders enhancing the ceiling limit to RS 7,000/- may be
issued immediately.
6.
Regularise
the services of casual labourers by absorbing them against vacant posts of MTS
as one time measure.
Casual
and contingent workers were engaged by various Departments to cope up the
regular work especially in the period when the Ban on Recruitment/creation of
posts was in operation. Such appointments had become necessary to ensure that
the work does not suffer and the public at large are not put to difficulties.
There had been despite the directive issued by DOPT in the past banning such
engagement of casual labour. Over the years their number has increased
manifold. These employees have put in several years of service. The omnibus
order banning he recruitment does not spell out as to how the work assigned
especially in operational and public dealing departments are to be carried out.
Presently due to either delay on the part of the recruiting agency or for such
unforeseen reasons in various departments, MTS posts are lying vacant and
contract workers are engaged. The case of those who were employed against
vacancies of permanent and perennial nature of jobs for regularization cannot
be denied except in violation of the existing labour laws or on unethical
ground. To address this, the DOPT must draw up a scheme for regularization of
eligible candidates in Government service as a onetime measure.
7.
Fill up all
vacant posts including promotional posts in a time bound manner
Inspite
of lifting of ban on filling up of vacant posts from 2010 onwards, in many
departments posts are not being filled and an undeclared ban is in existence.
The 7th CPC has stated that there are about six lakhs vacant posts
in central services. Non-filling up of vacant posts has adversely affected the
efficiency of many departments. Further many promotions posts are lying vacant
due to abnormal delay in convening DPCs. Strict instructions may be issued to
all departments to initiate action to fill up all vacant posts on top priority
basis and also to convene the DPCs regularly for granting promotion to eligible
officials.
8.
Abolish and
upgrade all posts of Lower Division clerks (LDCs) to Upper Division Clerks
(UDCs).
The
cadre of Lower Division Clerks in Govt of India service has now become
redundant as many of the jobs assigned to them are part of the duty list of MTS
and the rest is also assigned to UDCs. The abolition of Gr. D cadres and introduction
of MTS with certain clerical functions and computerised functioning in all
organisations of GOI have made the cadre presently superfluous. As pointed out,
the UDCs whose educational qualification is Graduation has overlapping
functions of LDCs. Major Deptt. of the Govt of India recognising this fact has
reduced the cadre strength of LDCs. We therefore request that the existing No.
of LDC posts in Government may be upgraded as one time measure as UDCs and the
posts of LDCs totally abolished.

Confederation letter on option in case of promotion after 25.7.2017
- IMPORTANT -
PERMISSION TO OPT FOR PAY FIXATION ON A DATE AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUE OF CCS (RP) RULES 2016 NOTIFICATION 25-07-2016 IN CASE PROMOTION BECOMES DUE AFTER 25-07-2016 - CONFEDERATION WRITES TO FINANCE MINISTRY FOR CLARIFICATORY ORDERS
No.Confdn/7th CPC/Option/2016-17 10-10-2016
To Shri.R.K.Chathurvedi,
Joint Secretary to Govt. of India,
Ministry of Finance,
Department of Expenditure
(Implementation Cell),
Room No.124, The Ashok, North Block,
New Delhi - 110 001.
Sir,
Sub: Exercising option for pay fixation in the revised 7th CPC Pay Structure, from the date of promotion or from the date of next increment from
01-01-2017 - C/o.Officials who are due for promotion/upgradation from Grade Pay 2800 to 4200 during the period from 01-01-2016 to
01-07-2017 - Request clarification and permission to exercise revised option as a one-time measure.
01-01-2017 - C/o.Officials who are due for promotion/upgradation from Grade Pay 2800 to 4200 during the period from 01-01-2016 to
01-07-2017 - Request clarification and permission to exercise revised option as a one-time measure.
1. As per Rule 5 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 the following provisions are notified by Government on 25-07-2016:
Rule 5 - Government servant may elect to continue to draw pay in the existing pay structure untill the date on which he earns his next increment or any subsequent increment in the existing pay structureor until he vacates his post or ceases to draw pay in the existing pay structure.
Provided further that in cases where a Government servant has been placed in a higher grade pay or scale between 1st day of January 2016 and the date of notification of these rules (ie. 25-07-2016) on account of promotion or upgradation, the Government servant may elect to switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion or upgradation as the case may be.
2. As per the above two provisions, a Government servant may elect to continue to draw pay in the existing pay structure until he earns his next or any subsequent increment in the existing (pre-revised) pay structure which implies that in cases where there is no promotion/upgradation between 01-01-2016 to 30-06-2016 (or between 01-01-2016 to 30-06-2017 in the case of subsequent increment on 01-07-2017) option to opt from the date of next increment (01-07-2016) or subsequent increment (01-07-2017) is available, thereby forgoing the arrears from 01-01-2016 to 30-06-2016 (next increment) or upto the date of subsequent increment say, 01-07-2017.
3. Thus, in the case of promotion/upgradation of a Government Servant becoming due before the date of notification ie, 25-07-2016, he should elect to switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion/upgradation. He has no option to opt for the next increment (becoming due after the date of promotion/upgradation) for fixation of pay in the revised pay structure.
4. Subsequently a clarificatory order is issued by Department of Expenditure (Implementation Cell) on 29th September 2016, which clarified the position further. As per this clarification, in case an employee is promoted or upgraded to the higher pay structure (in the pre-revised pay structure) he may be permitted to exercise revised option to have his pay fixed under the Revised Pay Rules 2016 from the date of such promotion/upgradation or from the date of next increment as per FR-22(i)(a)(i).
5. Thus an official who got promotion/upgradation on 15-07-2016 (in the month of July 2016), can exercise option to fix his pay under Revised Pay Rules, 2016, either from the date of promotion or from the date of next increment ie; on 01-07-2017.
6. Even after issuing the above clarificatory orders, dated 29-09-2016, it is not clear, whether an employee who becomes eligible for promotion/financial upgradation on a date after the date of issue of notification, ie, 25-07-2016, but before the date of next increment ie. 01-07-2017, can exercise option now, for fixation of his Revised Pay as per CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, from the date of promotion or from the date of next increment, ie; 01-07-2017, by forgoing the arrears from 01-01-2016 to date of promotion or 30-06-2017, thus allowing him to draw his pay in the pre-revised pay structure of 6th CPC till the date of promotion or till the date of next increment on 01-07-2017. As per the existing orders, all those employees whose date of promotion/upgradation becomes due after 25-07-2016 should compulsoily opt for pay fixation from 01-01-2016 or 01-07-2016, whereas an employee whose promotion is due in July 2016 ie; before the date of notification (25-07-2016) can opt for next increment date on 01-07-2017 for fixation in the Revised Pay structure under FR-22(i)(a)(i). Since the benefeit is extended to a section of employees who were promoted between 01-01-2016 and 25-07-2016 and the same benefeit is denied to the rest of the employee who are promoted after 25-07-2016, this is a clear case of discrimination and denial of natural and equitable justice.
7. If the option as above is not allowed, thousands of employees who are due for promotion/financial upgradation from 2800 Grade Pay to 4200 Grade Pay (in the pre-revised pay structure) from a date after the date of notification ie. 25-07-2016, will suffer a recurring loss of Rs.2800 to 3000 per month, throughout their service.
The followingillustrations will explain the above facts:
1st OPTION - 7th CPC - OPTION FROM 01-01-2016
6th CPC 7th CPC
Basic as on 01-01-2016 16490 16490x2.57 = 42379. Next stage in the pay matrix level - 5 = 42800
Increment on 01-07-2016 42800x3%=1284, 42800+1284=44084. Next stage in the Pay matrix = 44100.
MACP-II promotion from 44100x3%=1323, 44100+1323=45423.
2800 GP to 4200 GP on 05-12-2016 Next stage in the pay matrix level-6
(one increment fixation) = 46200.
2ND OPTION (IF ALLOWED) - OPTION FROM DATE OF
SUBSEQUENT INCREMENT ie; 01-07-2017.
6th CPC 7th CPC fixation if option allowed
from date of promotion
or date of next increment on
01-07-2017
Basic as on 01-01-2016 16490
Increment on 01-07-2016 16990
MACP-II promotion from 2800 16990x3% notional 18900x2.57-48573. Next stage
GP to 4200 GP on 05-12-2016 increment - 510. in the pay matrix in level 6 =
(One increment fixation + Grade pay difference= 49000.
Grade Pay difference) 4200-2800 = 1400. (If option allowed from date of
Total Basic = 16990+ promotion).
510+1400=18900.
Increment on 01-07-2017 18900x3% = 567 19470x2.57 = 50038
= 18900+567 = 19467 Next stage in the pay matrix level
= 19470 6 = 50500. (If option allowed from
date of next increment).
Thus if no option is permissible after 25-07-2016 to fix the pay in the revised scale on the date of promotion ie. 5-12-2016, then by compulsory option from
01-01-2016, the pay will be fixed at 46200 on promotion. If option is permissible after the date of notification to fix the pay in the revised scale on the date of promotion, the pay will be fixed at 49000. The difference is Rs.2,800/-. If option for fixation on next incremen on 01-07-2017 is granted, then the difference will increase further.

If option for fixation on next incremen on 01-07-2017 is granted, then the difference will increase further.
In view of the above, it is requested that the case may be reviewed judiciously and clarificatory orders may be issued, permitting the employees whose promotion date become due after the date of notification (25-07-2016) also, to exercise option for fixation of their revised pay from the date of promotion/upgradation or from the date of next increment ie. 01-07-2017, as a one time measure, thereby forgoing the entire arrears from 01-01-2016 to date of promotion or date of next increment on 01-07-2017. In other words, they may be permitted to draw their pay in the pre-revised 6th CPC pay structure till the date of promotion or till the date of next increment on 01-07-2017.
Awaiting favourable orders,
