No. 2012/AC-II/21/6(Part-II)

New Delhi dated 17th October, 2018

General Managers,
All Zonal Railways/Production Units

Sub :- Spot Check of Pension Payments by Pension Disbursing Banks.

*****

Expenditure on Pension accounts has increased substantially due to revision of pension as per 7th CPC. It is therefore necessary that the pension payments made by the banks are monitored closely and the pension debits are checked concurrently to ensure that there are no excess payments and the debits are in respect of bonafide Railway pensioners only.

Besides internal checks and spot checks of pension payments, a physical verification drive of pensioners may also be launched during November, 2018 like previous years to carry out inspections and verifications of the ‘Life Certificate” by pensioners to the banks. A team of staff from Personnel and Accounts department may be deputed for this purpose to visit the banks in their proximity. A suggestive checklist for verification to be carried out is enclosed. A brief report of the outcome of the above verification may be submitted to Board by 15th December, 2018.

Validation of Railway Employee pay roll database

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY or RAILWAY

2018/ACII(CC)/IPAS/37/9

New Delhi, dated 12.09.2018

RBA No. 96/2018

General Managers,
All Zonal Railways/Pus.

Sub: Validation of employee pay roll database.

****

In wake of recent frauds detected on one of the Railways relating to salary payment and other allowances, there is an urgent need to validate the employee master data that generates pay roll and other establishment claims. The validation is necessary to establish that employees included in the master table are bonafide employees, appointed by competent authorities, following legislated recruitment procedures. This validation can only be done by comparing pay roll details with the service records, starting with recruitment and appointment letters.

It is, therefore, urged that all CPOs be directed to take a onetime exercise to validate employee master data on IPAS with employees’ service records. Further, the data on appointment lettefs issued by RRCs and RRBs may also be linked with new entrants’ details to prepare memorandum of differences by the Drawing officer. This will enable sanitization of the base line. This shall also need to be done by all PFAs/CSCs who are having Personnel functions of their department. The PFAs would then conduct an independent internal check to validate Payroll database on IPAS to ensure proper Maker-Checker protocols.

The validation of the pay rolls may be completed by 15.10.2018.

Government Brought Most Public Authorities Under RTI Act – Dr Jitendra Singh

Government Brought Most Public Authorities Under RTI Act

The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh stated here today that in the last four and half years, the government led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has brought most of the public authorities under the purview of the RTI act, which is in keeping with the commitment to ensure maximum transparency in the working of these institutions. The Department of Personnel and Training(DOP&T), which is the nodal department for the Right to Information and Central Information Commission, has so far successfully covered nearly 2000 public authorities under the RTI Act, he said.

Dr Jitendra Singh made these observations when the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC), Shri R.K. Mathur called on him today.

Lauding the achievements of the last over four years, Dr Jitendra Singh said, when the government came in, there were very few public authorities under the purview of RTI Act, but a fast – track process was initiated to make the RTI more effective and more inclusive.

In addition, Dr Jitendra Singh noted that the filing of RTI has been made much more convenient and easy with the use of latest technology. There is now a portal and an App, as a result of which, any citizen can file an RTI from his mobile phone, at any time of the day or night, and from anywhere.

The disposal time of the RTI application received in the Central Information Commission has been drastically reduced, said, Dr Jitendra Singh, and added that the pendency has also considerably reduced in comparison to what it was before 2014.

In the DOP&T, Dr Jitendra Singh said, we have tried to sincerely live up to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s commitment of maximum governance with minimum government, maximum transparency and maximum citizen-participation. He said, there has also been a successful effort to compile inputs from the various RTIs received, in order to prepare research manuals for planning future strategies and improve upon the existing methodologies.

Pension of ex-Govt employees should be net of Income Tax : BPS writes to Finance Minister

No BPS/SG/pension/I.Tax/018/1

Dated: 23.11.2018

To
The Arun Jaitley ji
Honourable Cabinet Minister for Finance
Government of India

Subject : Pension of ex-Govt employees to be net of Income Tax

Sir,

With passage of time, the purchase value of pension due to steep rise in the cost of food items,caregivers and medical facilities etc gets substantially reduced.Due to inflation coupled with low interest rates value of their deposits in Banks/Post offices etc too go on reducing year by year adversely affecting the net-worth of Pensioners.Thus compelling them to compromise their standard of dignified living.

As was worked out & recommended by TECS (Tata Economic Consultancy Services) consultant to Vth CPC (Para 127.9 Vol III 5th CPC report) Pension need to be 67% of the last drawn to enable a pensioner to live with the same standard to which he was living while in service (Supreme Court pronouncement in DS Nakara vs UOI) but only 50% of last drawn is being paid. Old age relief given to Sr citizen in Income tax is too little to compensate.

You are therefore, requested to reconsider & accept the recommendation of Vth CPC vide their 167.11(copy attached) in this regard and spare the pension/family pension along with DR & FMA from the levy of income-tax.

Further to compensate fall in purchase value of their savings in deposits with banks & post offices rate of interests for senior citizens on their deposits should be 2% above the normal rate of interests as against the existing 0.25% to 0.50%.

Hoping for your sympathetic consideration

Thanking you in anticipation

With Regards
Sincerely yours,
