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:

For all pensioners and family pensioners relating to period prior to 1st November, 2002 DA rates will be on uniform basis of 100% neutralization as in the case of employees/ officers/ pensioners’/ family pensioners of period on and from 1st November, 2002 as provided herein below

For those pensioners’/family pensioners of period 1-4-1998 to 31-10-2002, DA shall be at the uniform rate of0.24% per slab over 1684 points.
For Pensioners/Family Pensioners of the period from 01.01.1986 to 31.10.1992/30.06.1993

All Office Bearers/National Executive Members,
All General Secretaries o/ State COCS.

Dear Comrades,

In continuation of the Confederations earlier circular dated 6-9-2023, If is again reiterated that the Confederation along with the All India State Government Employees Federation is conducting phase wise agitation/programmes in support of seven Demands, as per Declaration of the joint National Convention held at Talkatora Indoor Stadium on 6th December 2022. Currently, State level Convention Seminars are being held everywhere, vehicle jathes are taken out either jointly with AISGEF whereever it is possible or separately by the respective organisations. A mega Rally is scheduled to be held on 3rd November 23 at Ramlila Maiden, all out efforts have to made by all the affiliates or Confederation, State COCS to make the Rally, an historic one terms or the number or participants . Already a Rally on single issue or “SCRAP NPS AND RESTORE OPS“, was held on the same venue on 10th August ,under the banner or JFROPS (NJCA), of which Confederation was a major Constituent and actively participated in the rally.

The seven points Charter of Demands in pursuant of which the agitations are going on, and the rally is to be held, are as under ;

1. Annul PFRDA act, Scrap NPS, Restore OPS.
2. Regularise Contractual/Outsourced/Dally waged employees including Health, Education & Postal GDS; fill up all the Vacancies in Central/State Government Departments & PSUs , urgently.
3. Stop privatisation/corporatisation or PSUs and Downsizing of Government Departments.
4. Ensure Democratic Trade union rights; Review the derecognition order’s of NFPE, AIPEU Group C & ISROSA
5. Abandon National Educational Programme.
6.Constitute 8th Central Pay Commission; Release the Pending/Impounded DA/DR for Eighteen Months (from 1-1-20 to 30-6-21).
7. Remove all Rider’s/Restrictions on Compassionate Employment Assistance Scheme.

The quota fixed for various organisations for the 3rd November 23 rally to be organised at RamIlia Maldan.on the call of Confederation and AISGEF. are as under :-

1. NFPE : 5000

3. AUDIT : 1000
4. DELHI : 1000
5. EPF : 500
6. ALL OTHER AFFILIATES:: MINIMUM 50

All the affiliates of Confederation have the daunting task of rising up to the occassion. and their leadership should leave no stone unturned to reach out to each and every member explain them the demands and circumstances under which we are agitating, mobilize the rank and file, for participating en mass in the 3rd November 23 rally and make it a grand Success .It should be ensured that participation of member’s from the Confederation must be more than, that was in the previous rally of 10th August . respective organisations must do their level best to fulfill the quota allotted to them .

State COCs of Delhi and adjoining state’s have to play a major role in mobilizing the rank and file and bringing them for the Rally, as compared to the other states, wherein it would be difficult to bring members in large numbers, owing to various reasons .

Remittance of Quota :: As stated in previous circulars , it is again reiterated that the financial position of the Confederation is very weak , and without fund’s no movement or organisation can be effectively run , huge expenses would be incurred on the proposed program of rally and other activities of the Confederation . General Secretaries of ail the State COCs/All affiliates of the Confederation, are once again requested to kindly remit their “Due quota” of previous year’s,if not paid and the quota for the year of 2023 latest by the 20th October , so that functioning of the organisation could be carried out smoothly and in better way
