Confederation Urges PM to Constitute 8th Pay Commission: Letter Highlights Key Demands

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
1st Floor, North Avenue PO Building, New Delhi — 110001

Ref: Confed./2024/8th CPC/

Dated — 11.12.2024

To,

The Hon’ble Prime Minister,
Office of Prime Minister,
South Block Raisina Hill,
New Delhi-110011

Sub: Request for Constitution of 8th Central Pay commission for Central Government employees and pensioners – regarding.

Respected Sir,

The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, represents about 7 lakhs Central Government employees working in various Central Government Departments like Postal, Income tax, AG’s, Audit Departments, Survey Departments, Census, GSI, CPWD, CGHS etc. numbering about 130 Associations & Federations which are affiliates of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers.

The Central Government employees’ wages were last revised w.e.f. 01.01.2016, as on 01.07.2024, the percentage of DA entitlement crossed over 53%. During the past nine years the erosion of the real value of wages has become enormous especially after the Pandemic COVID-19. The depreciation of money value has come down very much.

The pay structure of the Central Government employees should be sound enough to attract the best talent of our Country, it should be revised every five years. The best talented employees would be instrumental in providing good leadership and good governance.

Also Read: Reasons for not constituting 8th Central Pay Commission : Lok Sabha QA

The Government of India is a model employer and it should take care of its employees to provide a comfortable living so that they work more effectively for implementation of the programmes and policies of the Central Government. The wage revision of Central Government employees is due from 01.01.2026, as it is in practice after every ten years.

The earlier Central Pay Commissions have all along been taking about 2 years for submitting their reports and another six months or more Government to consider it and to implement the same. A detailed note is enclosed along with the letter for perusal and necessary positive actions.

Hence, the Confederation requests that it is high time that the 8th Central Pay Commission is constituted without any further delay, necessitated due to higher inflation levels and depreciation in money value, so that the Central Government employees and pensioners could lead a decent life and work more effectively to implement the programmes and policies of the Central Government, so that its benefits reaches the common man.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
1st Floor, North Avenue PO Building, New Delhi — 110001

Detailed Note:

The Central Government employees are the backbone of the Government, as they implement the programmes and policies of the Central Government and ensure that the benefits of it reaches the common man at the last mile of the country.

The Government of India is a model employer and it should take care of its employees to provide a comfortable living so that they work more effectively to implement the programmes and policies of the Central Government.

The Central Government wages were last revised as on 1/1/2016. After the pandemic situation (COVID) the prices of essential commodities and also the non-essential commodities have increased manifold including manufacturing industries, construction, health, service sector etc. The higher interest rates are also adversely affecting employees/Pensioners, the inflation is in the range of 4 % to 7% on an average is about 5.5 %. Due to higher inflation rates the real money value has gone down considerably in the past 9 years especially after the covid situation.

The Central Government employees should have a decent standard of living for which a decent living wage should be provided. As on 1.7.2024, the percentage of DA entitlement crossed over 53%. During the past 9 years the erosion of the value of wages has become enormous.

The residency period of any wage structure must not exceed 5 years, especially in the background that the pay revision in most of the PSUs takes place at the interval of 5 years. Similarly, the Bank employees wage revision takes place every 5 years.

Per capita Monthly Household Consumption Expenditure has more than doubled during 2011-12 to 2022-23, the data was published by NSSO, a government Department. This shows our expenditure has also doubled due to high inflation, but our wages have not increased accordingly, since last decade.

The Indian economy is steadily improving. The Indian economy, according to IMF estimates, will emerge as the world’s third largest economy by 2027, hopping over Japan and Germany, as its GDP crosses USSS trillion dollars. Hence the Central Government has good paying capacity.

The profit and loss of the Central Government departments should not be taken into account as the social responsibility of the Union Government is to provide social services like defence, posts, roads, railways, water, food, health, survey departments etc.

7th Central Pay commission recommendations:

To keep the salary structure of the employees viable, it has become necessary to improve the pay structure of their employees so that better, more competent and talented people could be attracted to governance.

The framework should be linked with the need to attract the most suitable talented candidate to the government service and promote efficiency, accountability and responsibility in the work culture.

The key expectation of employees at all levels is that there should be a significant increase in their pay and improvement in other facilities.

The pay structure should also need to address any significant deterioration in real value of emoluments as a consequence of inflation. One should get proper and adequate compensation for his merit. The increase in pay structure cannot keep pace with the market forces, at the same time it should not be so unattractive that talent is not attracted to government service.

7th CPC para number 1.29: As we have mentioned above, government service is not a contract. It is a status. The employees expect fair treatment from the government. The States should play a role model for the services. In this connection, it will be useful to quote the observations in the case of Bhupendra Nath Hazarika and another vs. State of Assam and others (reported in 2013(2) Sec 516) wherein the Apex Court has observed as follows: “……… It should always be borne in mind that legitimate aspirations of the employees are not guillotined and a situation is not created where hopes end in despair. Hope for everyone is gloriously precious and that a model employer should not convert it to be deceitful and treacherous by playing a game of chess with their seniority.

A sense of calm sensibility and concerned sincerity should be reflected in every step. An atmosphere of trust has to prevail and when the employees are absolutely sure that their trust shall not be betrayed and they shall be treated with dignified fairness then only the concept of good governance can be concretized. We say no more. The pay scales of Central Government employees should be revised every five years as done in banking services, the inflation levels are rising and the ten years present revision is not favourable for employees and pensioners.

Government proposes to revise the variable dearness allowance for unorganised sector workers? Rajya Sabha QA

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

RAJYA SABHA

UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2017
TO BE ANSWERED ON 12.12.2024

REVISION OF VARIABLE DEARNESS ALLOWANCE

2017. SHRI JAGGESH:

Will the Minister of Labour and Employment be pleased to state:

(a) whether it is a fact that there is a need to help unorganised sector workers to cope with the rising cost of living;

(b) whether Government proposes to revise the variable dearness allowance for unorganised sector workers, effectively increasing monthly wages;

(c) if so, the details thereof; and

(d) the details of measures taken by Government for effective implementation of revised wages in the unorganised sector?

ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (d): Under the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act 1948, the Central Government and the State Governments, are appropriate Governments, to fix, review and revise the minimum wages of the workers employed in the Scheduled employments under their respective jurisdiction.

Further, in order to take care of the rising prices, the Central Government revises the Variable Dearness Allowance (V.D.A) on basic rates of minimum wages every six months, effective from 1st April and 1st October of every year on the basis of Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers.

The provisions of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, have been rationalized and subsumed under the Code on Wages, 2019. The components of minimum wages stipulated therein also provide for cost of living allowance. The Code makes minimum wages universally applicable across employments and thus moves ahead from restrictive applicability of minimum wages limited to scheduled employments as provided for under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948.

Cabinet approves opening of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under civil/defence sector

Cabinet approves opening of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under civil/defence sector across the country and expansion of one existing KV i.e. KV Shivamogga, Karnataka by adding 2 additional sections in all the classes

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved opening of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under Civil/Defence sector across the country and expansion of one existing KV i.e. KV Shivamogga, District Shivamogga, Karnataka to facilitate increased number of Central Government employees by adding two additional Sections in all the classes under the Kendriya Vidyalaya Scheme (Central Sector Scheme). The list of these 86 KVs is annexed. 

The total estimated requirement of funds for establishment of the 85 new KVs and expansion of 01 existing nearby KV is Rs. 5872.08 crore (approx.) spread over a period of eight years from 2025-26. This includes capital expenditure component of Rs. 2862.71 crore (approx.) and operational expenditure of Rs. 3009.37 crore (approx.).           

As on date, there are 1256 functional KVs, including 03 abroad viz. Moscow, Kathmandu and Tehran and a total number of 13.56 lakh (approx.) students are studying in these KVs.   

The administrative structure for implementing the project will require creation of posts at par with the norms fixed by the Sangathan for running of one full fledged KV with a capacity of approximately 960 students. Hence, 960 X 86 = 82560 students would benefit.  As per norms in vogue, a full-fledged Kendriya Vidyalaya provides employment to 63 persons and accordingly, approval of 85 new KVs and the expansion of one existing nearby KV, which will add 33 new posts, a total of 5,388 direct permanent employment opportunities will be created.  Construction and allied activities associated with augmentation of various facilities in all KVs are likely to generate employment opportunities for many skilled and unskilled workers.    

The Government of India approved the Scheme of Kendriya Vidyalayas in November 1962 to provide educational facilities of uniform standard throughout the country for the children of transferable Central Government/Defence employees. Consequently, “Central Schools Organization” was started as a unit of the Ministry of Education of the Government of India. Initially, 20 Regimental Schools in Defence Stations were taken over as Central Schools during the Academic Year 1963-64.

 Kendriya Vidyalayas are primarily opened to cater to educational needs of wards of transferable and non-transferable employees of Central Government including Defence and Paramilitary forces and for children of floating population and others including those living in remote and undeveloped locations in the country. 

 In pursuance of the National Education Policy 2020, almost all Kendriya Vidyalayas have been designated as PM Shri schools, showcasing the implementation of NEP 2020 and acting as exemplar Schools for others.  The KVs are some of the most sought after schools, due to their quality teaching, innovative pedagogy and up-to-date infrastructure.  There has been continuous increase in the number of students applying for admission to class I in KVs every year and the performance of the students of the Kendriya Vidyalayas in the board examinations conducted by CBSE has consistently been the best among all educational systems.

Ref.: This office Letter No.NC-JCM-2024/8th CPC dt.03.06.2024.

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the Staff Side Members of National Council JCM and the entire Central Government Employees and Pensioners I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year 2025 in advance. It is now 09 years after the implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations and the next Wage revision and Pension revision is due from 01.01.2026, since the wages of the Central Government Employees and Pension of the Central Government Pensioners are revised once in 10 years. This periodicity is maintained from the implementation of 4th CPC, i.e., from 01.01.1986. This office vide letter referred above have requested your good self (Copy enclosed for ready reference) that the Government may constitute the 8th Central Pay Commission immediately. It is now more than 06 months after we submitted our request. So far we have not received any positive response from the Government.

Also Read: Constitution of 8th Pay Commission in Budget 2025 ? : Rajya Sabha QA

Sir, you will appreciate that the 7th Central Pay Commission was constituted well in advance ie., on 28.02.2014, almost 02 years before the implementation date of 01.01.2016. However, just 01 year only is left for the next wage / pension revision. The Pay Commissions used to take almost 02 years period for Submitting their final report to the Government and the Government takes 03 to 06 months for considering and implementing its recommendations. In this back drop I feel there is no justification in further delaying the matter. Hence it is once again requested that you may kindly take up the matter with the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Finance Minister for immediate constitution of the 8th CPC.

Awaiting for your favourable response.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
