7th Pay Commission Allowances only after March 11 ?

Comrades,

The media is debating that the allowances committee headed by Shri Ashok Lavasa Finance Secretary has submitted its report to the Hon’ble Finance Minister Arun Jaitleyji on 22nd or not. Comrades as you aware that this committee period has expired on 22nd February 2017, the question is that even if it has submitted its report to the Hon’ble Finance Minister Arun Jaitleyji it is confidential document all media creation on the HRA rates are not be believed, the actual truth will be known only after the assembly elections results of five states which will be declared on March 11.

The past experience is that even if the committee decides positively the union cabinet had turn down the recommendations of the committee , hence speculation is not correct, only after the union cabinet approves the recommendations of the committee , the new orders is issued.

The main demands of the CG employees is retention of the rates of HRA and date of effect of allowances should be from 1st January 2016 and revision of rates of Transport allowances, OTA and NDA apart from retention of many of the allowances.

Comrades instead of speculation it would be better we focus on the 16th March 2017 strike, which would put pressure on the Central Government to yield to our charter of demands.

Comradely yours

(P.S.Prasad)
General Secretary

All the banks across the state would go for strike on coming February 28, following the failure of conciliation talks between the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) and the management.

All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) General Secretary C.H Venkatachalam has said that the Chief Labour Commissioner of the Ministry of Labour had called for a conciliation meeting in Delhi on Tuesday morning. Representatives of the Indian Banks Association (IBA) and UFBU were present.

All attempts to find solutions to the demands raised by the unions yielded no result. So the United Forum of Bank Unions decided to proceed with the proposed strike on February 28.

Some of their demands include issues pertaining to the bank employees and officers such as appointment of workmen, employee directors in the boards, adequate recruitment in all cadres, removal of ceiling on gratuity, exemption of income-tax on superannuation benefits, improvements in pension and issues relating to retirees.
