National Council(JCM)
Dear Comrades!
Sub: Brief of the meeting held today between the Government of India and the National Council (JCM) (Staff Side)
The Government of India has constituted a committee, under the Chairmanship of Addl. Secretary(Exp.) with J.S.(Pers.), JS(Estt.) and JS(Imp.) as members, to deal with the pending issues of our memorandum, submitted to the Empowered Committee, of which prominent are “Minimum Wage and Multiplying Factor”.
The first meeting of the said committee with the National Council(JCM) Staff Side was held today, i.e. 30th August, 2016, which remained almost introductory. Apart from the Official Side members, Shri M. Raghaviah, Shri M.S. Raja and I myself(from the Staff Side JCM) attended the said meeting.
We raised vehemently the issues of “Minimum Wage and Multiplying Formula” and made them very clear that; the VII CPC has accepted Dr. Aykroyd Formula for fixing Minimum Wage, but has not implemented the said formula in full sense, so, that is not acceptable to the Staff Side(JCM), therefore, Minimum Wage from Rs.18000 must be enhanced and accordingly Fitment Formula should also be changed.
It was agreed by the committee that, since we are again meeting on 1st September, 2016 with the Committee on Allowances, the next meeting of the said committee will be fixed in consultation with the Staff Side(JCM).
Thereafter, we also met the Cabinet Secretary(Government of India) and there also we shown our anguish about the inordinate delay in resolving those issues which were agreed to. The Cabinet Secretary said that, orders for the gratuity have been issued for the NPS covered employees, and orders for the PLB and arrears have also been issued. Many of the issues raised by the Staff Side(JCM) have been accepted and implemented and the remaining issues would also be pursued and settled.
Comradely yours,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)

Mishra Ji,
1. what is stand of NC/JCM on MACP and why this issue is not discussed with govt lingering for more than a decade? Are you and other esteemed leaders not interested in addressing of core issue of group “C” & “B” employees who had been robbed of beneficial “ACP” by introduction of MACP which is heavily loaded in favour of group “A” employees.
2. Secondly, nobody had given attention to Policy of Govt of denying Entitlement of Govt accommodation as per his Basic Pay (Pay+GP) as was prevalent till award of 6th CPC. 6th CPC had categorised a castiest system which does not dues to a person even after required qualification and ability. How it is justified that a employee having Grade Pay of 4200, 4600, 4800 drawing more Basic Pay than employee of Grade Pay 5400, 6600 is denied entitlement of Govt accommodation of Type IV or higher? May I request you why this issue had not been raised till now? Thanks.
