Dear Sirs,

Dearness Allowance for Workmen and Officer Employees in banks for the months of November, December 2017 & January 2018 under X BPS/ Joint Note dated 25.5.2015

The confirmed All India Average Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (Base 1960=100) for the quarter ended September 2017 are as follows:-

July 2017 – 6505.38
Aug 2017 – 6505.38
Sep 2017 – 6505.38

The average CPI of the above is 6505 and accordingly the number of DA slabs are 516 (6505 – 4440= 2065/4= 516 Slabs) The last quarterly Payment of DA was at 478 Slabs. Hence there is an increase in DA slabs of 38, i.e 516 Slabs for payment of DA for the quarter Nov, Dec 2017 and January 2018.

In terms of clause 7 of the 10th Bipartite Settlement dated 25.05.2015 and clause 3 of the Joint Note dated 25.05.2015, the rate of Dearness Allowance payable to workmen and officer employees for the months of Nov, Dec 2017 & January 2018 shall be 51.60 % of ‘pay’. While arriving at dearness allowance payable, decimals from third place may please be ignored.

We advise banks to pay the difference between the old and revised salary and allowance to officers on an ad hoc basis, pending amendments to Officers’ Service Regulations.

Yours faithfully,

Office Memorandum

Subject :- Delay in first payment of pension to the pensioners.

It has been observed that banks are making the first payment of pension to the pensioners account after significant delay in many cases. This issue was raised in the High Level Meeting (HLM) dated-28th July 2017 also by the Controller General of Accounts. Two main reasons leading to delay in payment of first pension were:-

i) Submission of “Undertaking of excess/ overpayment” made by bank and
ii) Delinking of physical appearance by the pensioner in the bank

The process has been simplified and conveyed to banks by issuing instructions vide this office OM No. CPAO/Tech/ Simplification/ 2014-15/241-351 dated-08.08.2014 read with OM No. CPAO/Tech/Life Certificate/2014-15/99-175 dated-28.07.2014; providing that:

i) Pensioners will submit the “Undertaking of excess/ overpayment” to his/her Head of Office while submitting the pension papers and

ii) Identification of pensioner is to be made by bank on the basis of KYC document available with them.

In view of the above, there is no reason for delay in crediting of first pension topensioners account. Hence banks are requested to strengthen their systems and issue instructions to make sure that timely and correct pension to the pensioners are credited. They are also requested to make a provision for online grievance redressal facility for pensioners to handle their grievance.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Journey to Headquarters on LTC in respect of dependent family members of the Government servant – Clarification reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s O.M. No. 31011/14/86-Estt.(A-1V) dated 08.05.1987, which inter alia provides that the Govt. servant and the members of the family may claim LTC independently, however, reimbursement in such cases will be restricted to the actual distance travelled by the family or the distance between the headquarters/place of posting of the Government servant and the place visited/hometown, whichever is less.

2. Restriction of reimbursement to the distance from the Headquarter/place of posting creates an anomalous situation where the Government servant seeks to avail of LTC in respect of members of the family to the Headquarters/place of posting either from the Home town of the Government servant or from anywhere else. For illustration, a dependent child of a Govt. servant (posted in Delhi) staying and pursuing studies in Mumbai may visit a Government servant at his Headquarters/place of posting (i.e. Delhi) on LTC, however, reimbursement in such case shall be admissible for distance between the Headquarters and place of visit (which in this case is Headquarters itself), which shall be NIL in this case.

3. To resolve the issue, the matter has been considered by this Department in consultation with Joint Consultative Machinery – Staff side and Department of Expenditure. It is clarified that full reimbursement as per the entitlement of the Government servant shall be allowed for journey(s) performed on LTC by the family members from any place in India to Headquarters/place of posting of the Government servant and back. When such journey is performed from the Home Town, the LTC shall be counted against ‘Home Town’ LTC and in case the journey is from any other place in India, then it shall be counted against ‘Any place in India’ LTC.

4. The provisions of this OM (para 3) will have prospective effect.

5. Hindi version will follow.
