Ministry of Finance
Department of Expenditure

North Block, New Delhi
Dated: 18th October, 2023

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Regulation of remuneration in case of contract appointment of Central Government Employees- Regarding

The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Department’s OM of even No. dated 9.12.2020 on the subject mentioned above and to say that the provisions contained in paragraph 6 thereof relating to fixation of remuneration governs the cases of those Central Government employees who retired with pension in terms of CCS(Pension) Rules, 1972 (now replaced by CCS(Pension) Rules, 2021).

2. The question of fixation of remuneration in respect of those central Government employees who retire under National Pension System(NPS), consequent upon their appointment on contract basis, has been considered. The case of such employees is altogether different from those governed by the CCS(Pension) Rules, 2021, as in the case of former annuity is admissible, which is based on the pension corpus accumulated at the time of retirement on the basis of contributions made by the Central Government and the employees during the service span of these employees. Therefore, annuity drawn by such employees is an outcome of contributions made by both the Central Government and the employees, unlike the case of those retiring under the CCS(Pension) Rules, 2021 where the entire pension is paid by the Central Government.

3. In the light of the above, it has been decided that while fixing remuneration in such cases in case of Central Government retirees under the NPS, an amount equivalent to 30% of the last basic pay as drawn at the time of retirement shall be deducted from the last basic pay and the resultant amount shall be the fixed monthly amount as remuneration

4. In respect of all other matters contained in paragraphs 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 9 of the aforesaid OM dated 9.12.2020 shall equally apply in all such cases.

5. These orders shall take effect from the date of issue of orders.

Government approves 100% DA for pre-November 2002 pensioners: MoU signed between IBA and UFBU

Government approves 100% DA for pre-November, 2002 pensioners as per the MoU signed by UFBU with IBA on 28-7-2023. It will be effective from 1st October, 2023.

Unions are aware that as compared to the earlier DA scheme with ceilings and tapered percentage, UFBU achieved 100% DA compensation without any ceiling under the 8th Bipartite Settlement i.e. from 1-11-2002. Unions had demanding that this benefit may be extended to pensioners who had retired from the Banks prior to November, 2002.

Unfortunately, the issue was dragged into litigation. During the signing of 10th Bipartite Settlement in May, 2015, Unions signed the Record Note in which demanded extension of 100% DA for pre-November, 2002 pensioners. IBA did not agree to this demand on the plea that the issue was sub-judice. Later, Supreme Court declined to accept this demand and hence there was a set back to the demand.

IBA took a positive view and UFBU signed the MoU on 28-7-2023 by which IBA agreed to the demand and to implement it after approval from the Government as under:
