FAQ on LTC Cash Voucher Scheme

Whether the individual employee is required to take leave to avail this LTC- Cash Voucher Scheme? Whether an employee is required to undertake any travel?

An individual need not take leave for this purpose nor undertake any travel. This is a scheme in lieu of LTC travel.

If a particular LTC which is meant to be used for the scheme has been partially availed by either self or members of the family, whether this scheme available and to what extent?

This scheme is applicable to the LTC fare left unutilized during the Block Year as mentioned in the O.M. dated 12.10.2020.

If an employee has already exhausted the prescribed limit of leave encashment for LTC, whether he will be eligible for the scheme? Whether an employee can only avail LTC fare without claiming leave encashment

An employee can avail this scheme utilizing the applicable LTC fare without leave encashment. The expenditure should be in accordance with the ratio as prescribed for LTC fare.

As per the scheme, an amount of upto 100% leave encashment and 50% of the value of deemed fare is to be paid as an advance to the employee opting for the scheme. It has also been stated that non-utilization / under-utilization of advance is to be accounted for by the DDOs in accordance with extent provisions relating to LTC advance. If an employee spends only the advance amount and makes a claim, how this claim will be regulated?

If as per the calculation suggested in O.M. No. 12(2)/2020-E.IIA dated 12th October, 2020, the reimbursable amount is less than the advance drawn, this would be treated as under-utilization. However, after calculation of the claim, balance amount, if any may be recovered from the employee.

Multiple Bills are accepted. The purchase should have been done from the date of issue of the O.M. till the end of the current Financial Year. The purchase should carry a GST of 12% and above and payment should have been made to digital mode.

Whether there is any prescribed format for applying for this scheme.

There is no prescribed format. A simple application conveying the desire of the employee for availing the scheme, if advance is required for the purpose the same is to be mentioned.

What are the items which will qualify for reimbursement under this scheme?

Any goods and services which attract GST of 12% and above would qualify. The invoice with GST details should be submitted and payment should have been made through digital mode.

An employee having four family members eligible for LTC wants to avail this facility for less than 4 members. Further he wants to avail LTC for rest of the Members later.

As replied to query at S.No. 2, an employee can avail the scheme in partial, i.e. of the LTC of part of the eligible family. Since this is an optional scheme, if the LTC fare of any member of the family has not been utilized for this purpose, those members can avail LTC subject to extent instructions under LTC rules.

Bonus to Central Autonomous body Employees – Confederation writes to Finance Minister

No. Confd-Bonus/2020

Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman,
Hon’ble Finance Minister,
Government of India,

North Block New Delhi – 110001

Sub: Grant of eligible Bonus to Central Autonomous body Employees.

Respected Madam,

There are about more than 400 Central Autonomous bodies functioning under the direct control and supervision of various Central Government Ministries. The Employees of these Autonomous bodies are governed by the Rules and Regulations applicable to Central government Employees. Their wages and service conditions are revised as and when the wages and service conditions of Central Government Employees are revised consequent on recommendations of Central Pay Commissions. They were also paid Bonus at par with other Central Government Employees upto 2014 -15.

Also Read Bonus for Central Government Employees before Durga Puja : Confederation writes to Finance Minister

Unfortunately, they are denied Bonus from the year 2015 – 16 onwards. The reason stated is that Finance Ministry has issued instructions to all Ministries to stop Bonus to Autonomous body employees as they are not Central Government Employees. The reason stated for denial of Bonus by Finance Ministry is quite technical. In fact the Autonomous body employees are granted all the benefits of Central Government Employees including Bonus. Sudden stoppage and denying the benefit of Bonus, which the employees got all these years, does not appear to be proper and justified.

In the above circumstances , I most humbly request the Hon’ble Finance Minister’s personal intervention in this case , so that instructions will be issued to all Ministries to restore Bonus to Autonomous body Employees with immediate effect. Action may also be taken to grant arrears of eligible Bonus from 2015 -16 onwards.

With profound regards,

Yours Sincerely,

(R.N.PARASHAR)

Circulation of Revised Check-List for forwarding the disciplinary proceedings proposals/cases to DoPT against lAS Officers under Single Window System

F.No.142/1/2019-AVD (IB)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training

North Block, New Delhi
Dated the 5th August, 2020

Sir/Madam,

The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) deals with the disciplinary matters of the officers of the Indian Administrative Services (lAS), being their cadre controlling department. It receives the proposals for disciplinary proceedings against the AS officers working in connection with the affairs of the State, from the State Government; and against the lAS officers working under various Ministries/Departments in the Central Government, from the Central Ministries/Departments of the Government of India; under the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1969 and All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958. Besides, it is also entrusted with dealing with the Appeals/Memorials and Revision/Review under the said Rules.

2. It is the responsibility of the Disciplinary Authorities concerned to lead the departmental proceedings to their logical conclusion. Inordinate and inexplicable delay in conclusion of the disciplinary proceedings vitiates the proceedings and sometimes leads to litigations. This delay is mainly attributed to the documentary and procedural deficiencies and a lot of time is consumed in avoidable protracted correspondence with the State Government or the Ministry/Department concerned, for furnishing requisite documents/case-records or fulfilling the procedural deficiencies.

3. Accordingly, a proforma check list was prescribed vide this Department’s OM No.142/16/2013-AVD.I dated 10th February 2014 for referring disciplinary proceedings proposals/cases against lAS officers to Department of Personnel & Training under Single Window System. However, pursuant to OM No.39011/08/2016-Estt.(B) dated 28th December 2018 and to align with the requirements prescribed for submission of cases to UPSC for referring the disciplinary cases to UPSC, it has been felt necessary to revise the checklists for submission of disciplinary proceedings proposals/ cases to DoPT for onward reference to UPSC for its statutory advice.

4. Therefore, it has now been decided to prescribe new checklists as per enclosed Appendices I & II in supersession of the checklists prescribed vide the Appendices to this Department’s OM No.142/16/201 3-AVD.I dated 10th February 2014.

5. Submission of a disciplinary cases against an IAS officer and requisite case records will be checked against these new checklists through the single window system in DoPT. Appendix I to be followed hereafter; has 4 different checklists catering to 4 different situations (as described in the following table) in which a proposal of disciplinary proceeding against an IAS officer is to be submitted to DOPT by the concerned State Government! Central Ministry/Department. Appendix II contains list of documents and folders which need to be submitted while submitting the disciplinary case through Single Window System. Another Appendix III has been enclosed which contains the Model letters for forwarding the proposals to Government of India, for each of the 4 situations of Appendix I.

6. Therefore, it is requested to submit the proposals of disciplinary cases against IAS officers to DoPT as per the appropriate Appendix that may be applicable in light of the situation for the case at hand with following details to ensure proper submission of proposals by various State Governments / Ministries / Departments as per the requirement of UPSC.

Appendix Details
1(A) Proforma /Checklist for forwarding disciplinary cases for imposition of penalty of cut in pension of lAS officers after retirement from service or for imposition of major penalties of compulsory retirement, removal or dismissal from service. State Government/UT
1(B) Proforma /Checklist for initiation of disciplinary cases under Rules 6(1) (b) (1) of the AlS (DCRB)Rules, 1958 against retired lAS officers-who are to be charge-sheeted after retirement from service- for according sanction of the Central Government State Government/UT
1(C) Proforma/Checklist for disagreement cases under Rule 11 of the AIS(D&A) Rules,1969 – for submission of cases of difference of opinion between a State Government and the Union Public Service Commission. State Government/UT
1(D) Proforma/Checklist for submission of proposals by the Ministries/Departments of the Government of India for initiation of disciplinary proceedings against lAS Officers working on Central Deputation. Ministry/Department

7. Further, it is also expected that the complete reference is received in this Department at least six months (180 days) prior to the retirement of the charged officer for complete examination of the proposal. Wherever the time of submission of case to this Department is less than six months (180 days) from the date of retirement of the officer, cogent reasons justifying late submission of case to this Department are also required to be submitted.

8. The operation of Single Window System requires the representatives of the State Government/Ministries/Departments of the Government of India seek prior appointment from concerned Under Secretary. During the appointed time, complete verification / scrutiny of documents will be done and only such cases which are reckoned and found complete in all respects shall be accepted for processing. Cases found deficient vis-a-vis the mandated check-list will be returned therewith, and the case would not be deemed to have been received until it is received in complete form as per the check-list.

9. The State Governments! Ministries/Departments of Government of India will be required to depute an officer not below the rank of the Under Secretary with his/her official seal and who is well conversant with the case to submit the records of the disciplinary case as per the check-list, in this Department. In the DoPT, Under Secretary (AVD-I.B), Room No.268B, North Block (through Gate No.4, Tele No. 011-2309-2298) will receive the Disciplinary cases referred to by the State Government and Under Secretary (AVD-I.C.I), Room No.270, North Block (through Gate No.4, Tele No.: 011-23092957) will receive the disciplinary cases referred to by the Ministries/Departments in Central Government from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. and 2.30 to 4.00 p.m. on all working days.

10. Finally, Rule 6(1) (b)(ii) of AIS(DCRB) Rules,1958 stipulate time-limit for instituting disciplinary proceedings against a pensioner. Therefore, a proposal where time available for Disciplinary Authority for according sanction under said Rule is less than six months from the date of submission of the proposal to DoPT by Ministry/Department/State, the proposal will not be accepted on same day. In such case, DoPT would be afforded a time-limit of up to five working days to analyse the proposal before accepting or returning in case there is requirement of any information/clarification /document.

11. It is requested that the above instructions are strictly followed with immediate effect while submitting the proposals of disciplinary proceedings against lAS officers, with a view to streamline and expedite the processing.

Yours faithfully

HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS (OBSERVING COVID PROTOCOL) AT ALL CENTRES AND IN FRONT OF ALL OFFICES.

Dear Comrades,

This year’s Bonus to Central Government Employees is not yet declared by the Central Government. Normally, every year Bonus is declared before the second week of October. We suspect some hidden agenda behind the deliberate delay on the part of the Government. From 1978 onwards Central Government Employees are paid Bonus without any interruption. Bonus is a product of historic strike of Railway employees under the banner of Railway Federations and other Central Government Employees under the banner of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers. Any attempt to deny Bonus under any pretext cannot be tolerated.

Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers calls upon the entirety of Central Government Employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks to hold protest demonstrations all over India at all centres and also in front of all offices (observing Covid protocol) on 20th October 2020, Tuesday. Railway Federations have also given a similar call for protest demonstrations on 20.10.2020. Let us be ready for strike with short notice if circumstances demand.

Government Employees set to get more DA ? – Union Labour Ministry denies reports appearing in media

Union Ministry of Labour & Employment has denied reports appearing in a section of Media under the caption “Govt. employees set to get more DA” published on 16-10-2020 In this regard it may be stated that Union Ministry of Labour & Employment has denied the report saying that it has never said that the new index would lead to a hike in salaries of industrial workers and Govt. employees. Following is the clarification of the Ministry :

“While it is a fact that Labour Bureau, an attached office of Ministry of Labour and Employment is going to release new series of Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers (CPI-IW) with 2016 as base year on 21st October, 2020. This index is used for revision of dearness allowance payable to Govt. employees and workers in the organized sector. However, the Labour ministry has never said that the new index would lead to a hike in salaries of industrial workers and Govt. employees. It will depend on the behaviour of new series which is too early to predict at this stage.”

“इस तथ्य के अनुसार कि श्रम और रोज़गार मंत्रालय का एक संलग्न कार्यालय, श्रम ब्यूरो, 2016 को आधार वर्ष मानकर औद्योगिक श्रमिकों (सीपीआई-आईडब्ल्यू) के लिए 21 अक्टूबर, 2020 को उपभोक्ता मूल्य सूचकांक की नई श्रृंखला जारी करने जा रहा है। यह सूचकांक सरकारी कर्मचारी और संगठित क्षेत्र के श्रमिकों को देय महंगाई भत्ते में संशोधन के लिए उपयोग किया जाता है। हालांकि, श्रम मंत्रालय ने कभी नहीं कहा कि नए सूचकांक से औद्योगिक श्रमिकों और सरकारी कर्मचारियों के वेतन में बढ़ोतरी होगी। यह नई श्रृंखला के व्यवहार पर निर्भर करेगा और इस समय इसके बारे में भविष्यवाणी करना जल्दबाजी होगा।”
