Fixing minimum wages for domestic work

Many of the State Governments like Rajasthan, Kerala, Punjab, Tamilnadu and Tripura have included domestic workers in the schedule of the Minimum Wages Act and the domestic worker are therefore entitled to file cases before the concerned authorities in case of any grievance in this regard. The registration of the placement agencies is a State subject. An advisory has been issued to all the State Government requesting them to take steps for formulation of a policy at their own level for regulating these placement agencies. Moreover, meetings have been held on 6/12/2017 & 12/2/2018 at Shillong and Kolkata respectively where representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, ILO, representatives of the State Governments and other stakeholders had participated to discuss the matter.

This information was given by Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Union Minister of State (I/C) for Labour and Employment in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.

To
The Secretary (P)
Department of Posts
Dak Bhawan,
New Delhi – 110001

Sub: – Consideration of “Good” benchmark as “Very Good” for grant of financial upgradation under MACP before 25.07.2016.

Sir,

As you are aware that based on recommendations of the 7th CPC, the benchmark for grant of MACPs has been enhanced from “Good” to “Very Good” w.e.f. 25.07.2016. For grant of MACP, 3 years APARs are taken in to consideration. This step has debarred so many officials from the financial upgradation.

Since the earlier “Good” benchmark was applicable up to 25.07.2016, the employees having “Good” grading in their APARs for the previous three years have no reason to be debarred. There is every justification to consider the employees having “Good” benchmark for the previous three years i.e. 2014-15, 2015-16 & 2016-17 for financial upgradation under MACP.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause suitable instruction in this regard so that the eligible officials may get financial upgradation who have been debarred because of enhancement of benchmark w.e.f 25.07.2016.

A positive and early action is highly solicited.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(R. N. Parashar)

NFIR request Railway Board to extend 90 days time to submit representations against the awarded gradings of ‘Good’

NFIR

No. IV/MACPS/09/Part II

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Providing opportunity for submitting representation to the employees who have been awarded below “Very Good” Grading in their last three years’ APARs (for the purpose of MACPS-reg.

Ref: (i) NFIR’s letterNo.IVA{ACPS/}9/Part 10 dated 19/0112017.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)I-2018/CR/2 dated 27/02/2018

Kind attention is invited to NFIR’S letter No. IV/MACPS/09/Part 10 dated 19/01/2017 responding to which Railway Board have issued instructions vide letter dated,27/02/2018 giving a chance as a onetime measure to represent against the ‘Good’ or below gradings recorded in the APARs of staff pertaining to the years 2014-15, 2015-16 & 2016-17

While appreciating the decision of the Board for granting an opportunity to the staff to submit representations against the awarded gradings of ‘Good’ or below within 30 days from the date of Board’s communication, NFIR desires to convey that in such a large network of Indian Railways, the Board’s communication may not reach on time to the staff working at remote places as the publicity of the administration is also not adequate. Many staff may also not be aware of the gradings already awarded to them by the controlling authorities.

NFIR, therefore, urges upon the Railway Board to kindly reconsider and grant 90 days time from the date of Board’s instructions i.e.27/2/2018, to facilitate staff to prefer appeals, wherever needed. It would also be necessary to advise General Managers of Zonal Railways to arrange to give copy of the gradings awarded to the concemed employees at the earliest. A copy of modified instructions may be endorsed to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr. M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

Partial Withdrawal under NPS

The Pension Fund Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA) has relaxed the norms for partial withdrawal under the National Pension Scheme (NPS). In accordance with the PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the National Pension System) (First Amendment) Regulations 2017, the subscriber ought to be subscribed to the National Pension System, at least for a period of three years from the date of his or her joining to such system, to be eligible to make partial withdrawals, under specific circumstances as specified in such regulations.

The NPS subscribers can withdraw after three years from the date of joining the system and a maximum of three times during the entire tenure of subscription under NPS, but the partial withdrawal is linked with contributions made by the subscriber. The subscriber shall be permitted to withdraw accumulations not exceeding twenty-five per cent of the contributions made by him or her and standing to his or her credit in his or her individual pension account, as on the date of application for withdrawal.

Earlier the subscriber under NPS was permitted to withdraw accumulations not exceeding twenty-five per cent of the contributions made by him or her after 10 years from the date of his or her joining the system, and a maximum of three times during the entire tenure of subscription under NPS.

This was stated by Shri Shiv Pratap Shukla, Minister of State for Finance in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
