The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,

Dear Comrades,

Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with the Member Staff, Railway Board, to discuss the important issues raised by AIRF with the Railway Board

A meeting was held today with the Member Staff, Railway Board, to discuss the vital issues raised by AIRF with the Railway Board, wherein the following deliberations took place:-

  1. Implementation of four grade structure, in the ratio of 10:20:20:50, in the case of Trackmen/ Track Maintainers – Member Staff informed that, four grade structure, in the ratio of 10:20:20:50, is approved by the Full Board, and the file was put-up to Hon’ble MR for his approval. Hon’ble MR wanted certain clarifications from the Engineering Directorate, and the same was submitted by the said Directorate. This will be finalized after arrival of Hon’ble MR who is busy in the state elections.
  2. Revision of the rates of Running Allowance and other Allowances related to Running Staff – After lengthy discussions; the Member Staff informed that, the file is put-up to Hon’ble MR for his approval, and after his approval, the file would be sent to the MoF. The Member Staff further informed that, the matter is vigorously pursued by him with the MoF.
  3. Continuance of the LARSGESS – The Official Side informed that, after consultation with the Solicitor General, original scheme would be implemented after submitting it to the court. The court has given time for submitting the final result.
  4. Advancement of prospects of the staff working in erstwhile GP Rs.1800 and GP Rs.4600 – After prolonged discussion, the Member Staff agreed that, there is stagnation of the staff working in erstwhile GP Rs.1800. Federation(AIRF) pointed out that, due to various surrenders in Grade III Technicians as well as other cadres, the present incumbents working in erstwhile GP Rs.1800 are not getting promotions. Due to direct recruitment in GP Rs.4600, people are not having any promotional prospects as there are no grades in GP Rs.4800 and GP Rs.5400. Federation(AIRF) wanted that, as was done on previous occasion, 50% of Direct Recruitment vacancies should be thrown open for promotion for the staff working in erstwhile GP Rs.1800, and also GP Rs.4800 and GP Rs.5400 SSEs and Sr. Supervisors should be made Gazetted.
  5. Non-revision of rates of Incentive Bonus/Bonus Factor and PCO Allowance paid to Technical Staff and Supervisors of the PUs and Maintenance Workshops – The Committee appointed by the Railway Board is expected to submit its report within a month’s time, and then only; the item will be finalized.
  6. Upgradation of the Apex level of Group `C’ to Group `B’ – AIRF insisted that, powers are vested with the Railway Board to grant upgradation for the apex grade Supervisors to Group `B’. This was also confirmed by the Finance Secretary(Exp.) on the previous occasion, and the minutes of the said meeting given to the Railway Board. In spite of that, the matter is dragged by the Railway Board by sending proposal to the MoF. The Federation(AIRF) insisted that, decision should be taken at the Railway Board level itself. Member Staff directed the AM(S) to put-up all the particulars, including minutes of the Cabinet Secretary, for taking a decision. The Federation(AIRF) insisted that, as per the Act and Codal Provisions as well as Business Rules, the powers are vested in the Railway Ministry and they should not run to the DoP&T and MoF.
  7. Regularization of the Act Apprentices in Railways – AIRF demanded that, all the Act Apprentices imparted training in the Railways should be absorbed in the Railways. It was explained to the Member Staff that the orders were available previously, but unfortunately, Board have issued orders and implemented the orders with back date, depriving the Act Apprentices from the absorption in the Railways. The Federation demanded that, new Apprentices Act, passed by the Parliament, has given full powers to decide procedure for absorption of these Act Apprentices. Federation demanded that, Screening Type system should be adopted for absorption of the Act Apprentices. Member Staff agreed to study the problem after finalization of the present RRC examination.

It is worth-mentioning here that, there will also be another round of discussions with the Member Staff, Railway Board, tomorrow, i.e. on 5th December, 2018, and the outcome of the said meeting shall also be communicated to all of you.

With Fraternal Greetings,

Yours faithfully

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Launching /Introduction of UPSC module in RRFAMS portal – reg.

The undersigned is directed to say that the RRFAMS portal has been in operation since 25.12.2016 for framing/amendment of Recruitment Rules by DOP&T. The proposals received on this portal are scrutinized in DOP&T through online consultation with the user ministries/departments. Once the RRs become error free, approval of DOPT is conveyed through the system. Simultaneously, the Recruitment Rules are also frozen. Under the existing system after the RRs are frozen, the Ministries/Departments send the proposals along with necessary Annexure, hierarchy chart etc. in physical file to UPSC and DoLA.

2. As a next step towards achieving automation i.e. end-to-end processing and approval of RRs by the nodal Ministries, DOP&T in consultation with UPSC has now developed a module under RRFAMS for holding consultation with UPSC. In the new system after the RRs are approved and frozen by DOPT, the same shall be transmitted to UPSC and will be visible to Administrative Ministry/Department. The new system will be in operation w.e.f 03.12.2018 in test mode and will be formally pushed into service on 25.12.2018. The comments/approval of UPSC will be conveyed through the system itself.

3. With the introduction of UPSC module, the requirement of sending proposal on physical files to UPSC after DOPT approval will be dispensed with.

4. In this regard it is also to say that some additional tabs have also been added at user end (Ministries/departments end) of the portal such as Information on Court cases, RRs of the promotional post etc for facilitating UPSC consultation. Therefore it is requested that the Administrative Ministry/Department, while initiating the proposal, may submit complete proposals by filling all the information’s sought to DOPT. Administrative Ministries/Departments are also requested to keep close watch on the RRFAMS portal regarding their proposals as the information regarding MR meeting, comments of UPSC etc will be conveyed through the RRFAMS portal w.e.f 25.12.2018.

Circular No. 24/VII/2018

To:

ALL UNITS / STATE COMMITTEES

Comrades,

  • Fixed Pay component increased from 6% to 8%
  • Introduction of variable pay – rejected
  • Direct Action on 26.12.2018 [Wednesday] opposing the amalgamation of three Banks

After a gap of seven weeks, yesterday, one more round of talks on wage revision was held by IBA . Consequent upon the superannuation of Shri R.K.Takkar, former Chairman, Negotiating Committee, IBA, Shri Rajkiran Rai.G, MD and CEO of Union Bank of India led the IBA team comprising of Shri P.S.Jayakumar, MD and CEO, Bank of Baroda, Shri Shyam Srinivasan, MD and CEO, Federal Bank, Shri Prashant Kumar, DMD, State Bank of India, Shri Mukesh Kumar Jain, MD and CEO, OBC, Shri V.G.Kannan, CEO, IBA, Shri G.Rajkumar, Deputy CEO, IBA, Shri S.K.Kakkar, Sr.Vice President, HR & IR, Shri K.S.Chauhan , Advisor, HR & IR besides officials of HR Department. The representatives of nine constituents participated in the Negotiation.

2. Chairman, Negotiating committee, IBA while reiterating their standpoints on their earlier offer, proposed to increase the offer from 6% to 8% on payslip components. While this will be made available to all the workforce in the Industry, the variable pay of 8.2% would also made available [ie;] as per their earlier presentation, variable pay would depend upon Return on Assets [ROA] and operating profit. Vijaya Bank and Indian Bank are the two Banks governed by the condition stipulated.

3. While rejecting the offer of variable pay in toto, the representatives made an emphatic demand to improve IBA’s revised offer from 8% upwards. In the same stretch, it was also placed that the mandate should cover all seven scales in all Banks. At this point, IBA expressed that the issue of mandate is not the subject matter before this negotiating committee. One of the Officers’ organisation has opted out of the discussion at this point time. The whole exercise came to an abrupt end.

4. The meeting of the nine representatives met immediately in IBA office itself to take stock of the situation due to sudden turn of events and subsequently at MSBEF office, Fort. Com.Narendra Kotiawala, DGS, and Com.V.Ramabhadran, Secretary, Convenor, Wage revision Committee and Com.V.Viswanathan, CC member participated besides the undersigned. While the time is the essence of any advancement, it was felt the issue of full mandate and also wage revision talks to proceed on the parallel line. At the end of the meeting, the debates were completed, but with no forward movement on our approach.

5. 17th September 2018, the Government’s decision to amalgamate the three banks Vijaya, Dena and Bank of Baroda, had thrown a new challenge to the entire workforce. “Merger of Banks” is the only unimplemented agenda of Narasimham Committee I and II. Merger of Banks in 2008, 2010 and 2017 led to pains and strains in the Industry. Closure of branches, forced exit due to redeployment and closing the door for new recruitment are some of the main points on the staff side. Mergers have led to accumulation of bad loans in the Banks. The demonstrative example before us is SBI -increase bad loan portfolio.

Hence it was decided to observe “ONE DAY ALL INDIA STAY OUT STRIKE” on 26th December 2018, opposing the amalgamation of the three Banks.

Yours comradely,

S.NAGARAJAN
