ANSWER MINISTER OF FINANCE (SHRI ARUN JAITELY)
A statement is laid on the Table of the House.
Statement Annexed with the Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 244 for 09.08.2016 by Shri Ram Kumar Kashyap on Seventh Pay Commission Committee for Allowances
(a) to (d): The Government has decided to implement the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission relating to pay, pension and related issues. The resolution on Government decisions has been issued on 25.07.2016. The matters relating to pay and pension, as decided by the Government, have been implemented with effect from 01.01.2016. In view of the significant departure from the existing provisions recommended by the 7th CPC and a number of representations received from Employee Associations and other stakeholders in this regard, the Government has decided that recommendations on allowances, other than Dearness Allowance, be examined by a Committee comprising Finance Secretary as Chairman and Secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Health and Family Welfare, Personnel & Training, Posts and Chairman, Railway Board as Members for examination before taking a final decision.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Implementation of the recommendations of 7th CPC — Fitment Factor and Pay Fixation for Running Staff-reg.
Ref: (i) NFIR’ s letter No. IV/NFIR/7CPC(Imp)/2016/R.B. dated 13/07/2016.
(ii) Board’s letter No. PC-VII/2016/RSRP/2 dated 02/08/2016 (RBE No.93/2016).
**********
The Federation vide its letter dated 13/07/2016 requested the Railway Board that in view of 30% pay element of Running Staff needed to be taken for arriving at the “multiplier factor”, it was suggested to maintain the same at “3” instead of “2.57”. Federation is however disappointed to note that the Railway Board instead of following the simple procedure has complicated and mutilated the pay fixation formula/procedure of Running Staff as per illustration given in Annexure ‘C’ of Board’s letter No. PC-VII/2016/RSRP/2 dated 02/08/2016 (RBE No. 93/2016).
In this connection, the Federation brings to the notice of the Railway Board that in the Resolution circulated by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) vide No. 12/2016-IC on 25th July 2016 in Para 12, it has been mentioned that in respect of Railway employees to whom Running Allowance is admissible, it will be ensured that the actual rise in pay at the time of initial fixation is about 14.29% as recommended by the Pay Commission. Federation feels sad to convey that the said decision of the Ministry of Finance has not been complied with by the Railway Ministry particularly in respect of Running Staff.
In case of Running Staff with Rs.1000/- Basic Pay, he will get Dearness Allowance Rs.1,625/-, thus, the total would be Rs.2,625/-. In terms of Gazette Para 12, minimum benefit 14.29% should be given to Running Staff. 14.29% of Rs.2,625/- is Rs.375/-. Thus Basic Pay + Dearness Allowance + Minimum Guaranteed Benefit = 1000 + 1625 + 375 = Rs.3,000/-. From this, it is clear that the Running Staff having Basic Pay of Rs.1000/- should be fixed at Rs.3000/-. But in the illustration given in RBE 93/2016, Running Staff with Basic Pay of Rs.19,930/- is fixed at Rs.58,694/-, which works out 12.19% which is clear violation of Para 12 of Gazette Notification.
In view of the above, the Annexure of Board’s letter dated 02/08/2016 is needed to be redrawn to ensure justice to the Running Staff. NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to consider the above points and issue modification immediately duly endorsing copy to the Federation.

With a view to expedite authorization and disbursement of arrears, arrear claims may be paid without pre-check of fixation of pay in the revised scales of pay. However, the facility has not been dispensed with in respect of those Government servants who have relinquished service on account of dismissal, resignation, discharge, retirement etc. after the date of implementation of the pay Commission’s recommendations but before the preparation and drawl of arrear claims, as well as in respect of those employees who had expired prior to exercising their option for the drawal of pay in the revised scales.
The requirement of pre-check of pay fixation having been dispensed with, it is not unlikely that the arrears due in some cases may be computed incorrectly leading to overpayments that might have to be recovered subsequently. Therefore, paying authority, should, make it clear to the employees under their administrative control. while disbursing the arrears; that the payments are being made subject to adjustment from amounts that may be due to them subsequently sholud any discrepancies be noticed later. For this purpose, an undertaking may also be obtained in writing from every employee at the time of exercising option under Rule 6(1) thereof. A specimen form of the undertaking as prescribed as per a “Form of Option” under Rule 6(2) of CCS (RP) Rules 2016 is enclosed as Annexure-III.
In order to facilitate a smooth and systematic fixation of pay, a proforma has been annexed for the purpose (Statement of Fixation of Pay) is enclosed as per CCS(RP) 2016 to be prepared in triplicate and one copy thereof be placed in the service book of the employee concerned and another copy made available to the concerned accounting authorities [Chief controller of Account/controller of Accounts/Accounts Officer] for post check.
(xi) Deduction of Income Tax
In authorizing the arrears, Incomes Tax due may also be deducted and credited to Government in accordance with the instructions on the subject.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Seventh Central Pay Commission’s recommendations — revision of pay scales- amendment of Service Rules/Recruitment Rules
***
The recommendations of 7th CPC have been considered by the Government and the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2016 have been issued by Department of Expenditure vide Notification dated 25th July, 2016. Consequently, in place of the Pay Band and Grade Pay, the revised pay structure comprising the “LEVEL in the PAY MATRIX has come into effect. In the light of this, it has now been decided that the existing Service Rules/Recruitment Rules shall be amended by the Ministries/Departments by substituting the existing Pay Band and Grade Pay by the new pay structure i.e. “LEVEL in the PAY MATRIX” straightaway without making a reference to the Department of Personnel and Training (DOP&T)/Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The heading of column No.4 of the Schedule in RRs may be modified to “LEVEL in the PAY MATRIX”. Similarly, in column 11 of Recruitment Rules, for promotion the corresponding “Pay Band and Grade Pay” needs to be replaced with corresponding “LEVEL in the PAY MATRIX”. In cases where deputation is also one of the methods of recruitment, the field of selection for deputation which includes various grades should also reflect the corresponding “LEVEL in the PAY MATRIX”.
2. The above amendments may be carried out by 30th September, 2016.
Sanskriti School in Delhi – Requirement of the children of All India/Central services officers and other transferable Government servants
Sanskriti School, Delhi was set up to primarily meet the requirement of the children of All India/Central services officers and other transferable Government servants who come on deputation to Government of India on a tenure basis. Some States such as Uttar Pradesh and Meghalaya have taken initiatives to set up schools in their States, similar to Sanskriti School, Delhi to meet the educational needs of the children of the Government servants who are posted on transfer.
The Government is of the view that as a welfare measure, setting up of Sanskriti type Schools would go a long way in removing the hardships faced by Government servants on transfer. In SLP(c) no. 35077/2015, the Supreme Court after the hearing held on 21.01.2016, in its order directed that the Children of the following officers shall be included into 60% quota, which has been reserved for children of officers of Civil Services/ Defence cadre and allied services :
“(i) All India Service Officers coming on transfer to Delhi on central deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme.
(ii) Indian Foreign Service officers coming to Delhi to man the posts in the Ministry of External Affairs.
(iii) Other eligible Central Service Officers (Group A) on transfer to Delhi under the Central Staffing Scheme.
Wards of (i), (ii) and (iii) coming on transfer to Delhi should not be denied admission in any class and even during middle of the academic session on first come first serve basis provided there is vacancy.
(iv) Officers from the Defence and other officers coming to Delhi on transfer.”
The directives of the Court are being followed by Sanskriti School.
This was stated by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri A.T.Nana Patil in the Lok Sabha today.
