POSITION REGARDING MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT FORMULA -- GOVT INFORMED STAFFSIDE
NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM THAT INCREASE IN MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT FORMULA WILL NOT
COME UNDER ANOMALY COMMITTEE ITEM.
During the last 2 - 3
months both print and electronic media are continuously reporting that increase
in 7th CPC Minimum Pay and Fitment Factor is under serious consideration of the
Govt. and National Anomaly Committee will give its recommendation to Govt. and
orders for increased Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula will be given effect from
April 2018. We are reproducing below a letter from Govt. dated 30.10.2017
addressed to Secretary, Staff Side , National Council JCM stating that
the demand for increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula will not come under
the purview of National Anomaly Committee. Further Govt. has not yet
constituted the HIGH LEVEL COMMITTEE for increasing Minimum Pay and Fitment
Formula as assured by the Group of Ministers including Home Minister Sri
Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley on 30.06.2016. The so-called
Senior Officers Committee has also not discussed this agenda even though staff Side
has repeatedly demanded discussion and settlement as per the assurance given by
Senior Cabinet Ministers. Now 17 months are over. 32 lakhs Central Govt.
Employees and 33 lakhs Pensioners are being continuously betrayed by the NDA

No. N‐1/2017‐18 Dated:
16th November, 2017
To,
The Presidents/General Secretaries,
All the members,
Of all the Units/Circles of ITGOA and ITEF.
Dear Comrades,
As you all know that the pressure of
multiple and repetitive reports, even inventing new proforma for reports, as
asked by the Pr.CCsIT/CCsIT/Pr.CsIT in all 18 regions of tax‐India have become
unbearable and the assessing officers are getting suffocated more and more as
they approach the time‐barring date. Whenever this issue has been brought to
the notice of the Chairman, CBDT by the Central JCA, though he has always
appreciated that the ‘statutory reports’ are sufficient to give the clear
picture of the performance of any charge or can take care of any meeting/review
of performance/video conference/visit of the Member, CBDT to take stock of the situation,
any action in this regard by the CBDT is still not visible.
In such scenario, the Central JCA
has taken decision to give call to its members not to submit any report, from
16‐11‐2017 itself, except i) the Statutory Reports, ii) Reply to the Parliament
Questions, iii) Reply to the Audit Objections and iv) any particular Report
asked by the CBDT in addition to the statutory ones.
The letter on the above‐mentioned
subject has been submitted to the Chairman, CBDT on 16‐11‐2017 (the copy of
which is attached herewith). All Units of JCA are requested to submit the same
to the respective Pr.CCsIT on 16‐11‐2017, duly forwarding in the letter‐head of
the State‐JCA, and request all members to abide by the call.
With
greetings,
Yours
comradely,

REVISED

INCORPORATING THE ACCEPTED RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 7TH PAY COMMISSION

House Building Advance 2017
The
Government has revised the House Building Advance (HBA) rules for
Central Government Employees incorporating the accepted recommendations
of the 7th Pay Commission. Following are the salient features of the new rules:-
1. The
total amount of advance that a central government employee can borrow
from government has been revised upwards. The employee can up to borrow
34 months of the basic pay subject to a maximum of Rs. 25 lakhs (Rs.
Twenty Five Lakhs only), or cost of the house/flat, or the amount
according to repaying capacity, whichever is the least for new
construction/purchase of new house/flat. Earlier this limit was only
Rs.7.50 lakhs.
2. Similarly,
the HBA amount for expansion of the house has been revised to a maximum
of Rs.10 lakhs or 34 months of basic pay or cost of the expansion of
the house or amount according to repaying capacity, whichever is least.
This amount was earlier Rs.1.80 lakhs.
3. The cost ceiling limit of the house which an employee can construct/ purchase has been revised to Rs.1.00 crore with a proviso of upward revision of 25% in deserving cases. The earlier cost ceiling limit was Rs.30 lakhs.
4. Both spouses, if they are central government employees, are now eligible to take HBA either jointly, or separately. Earlier only one spouse was eligible for House Building Advance.
5. There
is a provision for individuals migrating from home loans taken from
Financial Institutions/ Banks to HBA, if they so desire.
6. The provision for availing ‘second charge’ on the house for taking loans to fund balance amount from Banks/ Financial Institutions has been simplified considerably. ‘No Objection Certificate’ will be issued along with sanction order of HBA, on employee’s declaration.
7. Henceforth, the rate of Interest on Housing Building Advance shall be at only one rate of 8.50% at simple interest (in
place of the earlier four slabs of bearing interest rates ranging from
6% to 9.50% for different slabs of HBA which ranged from Rs.50,000/- to
Rs.7,50,000/-) .
8. This rate of interest shall be reviewed every three years. All
cases of subsequent tranches/ installments of HBA being taken by the
employee in different financial years shall be governed by the
applicable rate of interest in the year in which the HBA was sanctioned,
in the event of change in the rate of interest. HBA is admissible to
an employee only once in a life time.
9. The
clause of adding a higher rate of interest at 2.5% (two point five
percent) above the prescribed rate during sanction of House Building
Advance stands withdrawn. Earlier the employee was sanctioned an advance at an interest rate of 2.5% above the scheduled rates with
the stipulation that if conditions attached to the sanction including
those relating to the recovery of amount are fulfilled completely, to
the satisfaction of the competent authority, a rebate of interest to the
extent of 2.5% was allowed.
10. The
methodology of recovery of HBA shall continue as per the existing
pattern recovery of principal first in the first fifteen years in 180
monthly instalments and interest thereafter in next five years in 60
monthly instalments.
11. The
house/flat constructed/purchased with the help
of House Building advance can be insured with the private insurance
companies which are approved by Insurance Regulatory
Development Authority (IRDA).
12. This
attractive package is expected to incentivize the government employee
to buy house/ flat by taking the revised HBA along with other bank
loans, if required. This will give a fillip to the Housing
infrastructure sector.
