Respected Sir,
Sub: Government’s acceptance of 7th CPC recommendation — Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme – reg.
***********
NFIR invites kind attention of the Government to the acceptance of 7th CPC recommendations circulated by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) vide Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC dated 25th July 2016, the Annexure II of which contains the decision in relation to Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) as given below:-
• “While the MACP has been continued to be administered at the intervals of 10, 20 & 30 years of service to an employee as was in vogue, the benchmark for performance appraisal under the MACPS has been enhanced from “good” to “very good”.
• It has also been decided by the Government to withhold annual increments in the case of those employees who are unable to meet the benchmark for MACP or on regular promotion within first 20 years of the service of the employee”.
In this connection, NFIR conveys that the Government has not consulted JCM (Staff Side) before taking decision as above although this being one of the issues contained in the Charter of demands, seeking discussion. The decision has caused disappointment among Railway employees and as well Central Government employees. Upgrading the bench mark from “good” to “very good” for granting financial upgradation under MACPS would provide unfettered powers to the superiors to victimize and give scope to favour the liked staff on “pick” and “choose” basis. The decision for withholding annual increments on the pretext that employees are unable to meet the bench mark for MACP or regular promotion within first 20 years of service would not only demoralize the staff but also give handle for willful harassment and victimization by higher Officials.
NFIR, therefore, requests the Cabinet Secretary, who is also the Chairman of the JCM, to kindly hold meeting with the Staff Side representatives for resolving the issues amicably through discussions.

******
At the outset, NFIR conveys its sincere thanks to you for the statement issued by the Finance Ministry at 20:50 Hrs on 6th July 2016 that the issues relating to pay scales raised would be considered by a High Level Committee. NFIR is also thankful for your free and frank discussions with us on 30th June 2016 at the residence of Hon’ble Home Minister wherein Hon’ble Railway Minister Sh. Suresh Prabhu, Hon’ble Minister of, State for Railways Sh. Manoj Sinha, took part.
NFIR further mentions that the Finance Ministry has since issued notifications on the basis of Union Cabinet’s decisions dated.29th June 2016 for implementation of revised Pay Matrices and pay fixation etc. The Railway employees numbering over 1.3 million are anxiously awaiting for setting up of High Level Committee which would facilitate Employees’ Federations to explain the logic and merits for revision of minimum wage and the multiplier factor.
The NFIR, therefore, requests you to kindly take initiative for constituting High Level Committee at the earliest. It may also be appreciated that the “strike action” by the Central Government Employees which include Railway employees was deferred on the night of 6th July 2016, after the statement for setting up of the High Level Committee was released by the Finance Ministry. In view of this, it would be necessary to set up the High Level Committee without further delay.

Respected Sir,
Sub: Charter of Demands – Discussions held with Hon’ble Ministers on 30th June 2016 – reg.
At the outset,’NFIR expresses its gratitude to you for the initiative taken on 30th June 2016, which has resulted in a meeting between the four JCM (Staff Side) leaders and the Hon’ble Union Ministers namely, S/Shri Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Suresh Prabhu and Manoj Sinha at the residence of Hon’ble Home Minister. On the issuance of communication by the Finance Ministry at 20/50 Hrs on 6th July 2016 that a High Level Committee will be constituted to examine the main issues – Minimum Wage, Multiplier Factor, the JCM (Staff Side)A{JCA has deferred the Strike action which was to commence from 11th July 2016.
So far as “Railways specific demands” are, concerned, you have assured when I met and discussed on 30th June 2016 that the said issues will be finalized through discuisions to the satisfaction of the Federations.
In this connection I desire to bring to your kind notice that the Chairman, Railway Board held informal discussions on 21st July 2016 with the Presidents and General Secretaries of both the Federations on Railways specific issues. MS, FC were also present during informal discussions. We have highlighted the facts and merits on important demands. A formal meeting was held on 22nd July, 2016, chaired by CRB and participated by MS, FC, MM, ML, ME etc.In the said meeting, the Railway Technicians issue was discussed elaborately and an agreement was reached for implementing the revised distribution of posts w.e.f.01/09/2016. There is general satisfaction among Technicians in railways over the bilateral settlement reached on 22nd July 2016.
I, however, bring to your kind notice that the remaining “Railways specific issues” are also required to be dealt by Railway Board and settled through discussions with the Federations.
As you have actively participated in the discussions held at the residence of Hon’ble Home Minister on 30th June 2016, where the core general demands were discussed and thereafter the JCM leaders met the Hon’ble Home Minister on 06th July 2016, I request you to kindly take special initiative in prevailing upon the Government of India to set up the High level Committee as announced by the Finance Ministry on 06th July 2016.
NFIR also requests you to kindly direct the Railway Board to discuss the remaining Railways issues with the Federations for solving the same through negotiations at the earliest.

New Delhi
Respected Sir,
We wish to draw your kind attention towards the decision taken by the government on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission, especially with regard to Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS).
The government has accepted one of the adverse recommendations of the 7th CPC without holding any consultation with the Staff Side. The recommendation of the 7th CPC regarding benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and financial upgradation under MACPS, to be enhanced from “Good” to “Very Good”, has been accepted by the government without considering its implication on the morale of the Central Government Employees. Similarly, another adverse recommendation of the 7th CPC for withholding of Annual Increment in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark, either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years
of their service has also been accepted by the government.
In our “Charter of Demands”, submitted to the Government of India on 9th February, 2016 on behalf of Staff Side, National Council(JCM), we have categorically demanded that, the MACP should be treated as financial upgradation without any grading stipulation and the MACP should be provided on the basis of promotional cadre hierarchy of the concerned department. The Staff Side has demanded to reject the efficiency stipulation recommended by the 7th CPC. However, this issue was not discussed with the Staff Side, National Council(JCM) by the government before taking a decision on this significant issue as well as recommendation of the 7th CPC for withholding of annual increment in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark, either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.
You will appreciate that, in the government set-up it will be very difficult to assess the performance and talent of each and every employee since the government functions on a collective basis. Moreover, this decision of the government, if implemented, will result in favouritism and also victimization. This will also result in serious unrest at the workplace, which will affect the morale of the employees and will create division amongst the employees, which will ultimately reflect on the performance and productivity of each organization.
Therefore, we are of the firm opinion that, the government should reconsider their decision on the above issues and we request you to kindly withdraw the same and a discussion in this regard may be held with the Staff Side at the earliest.

Respected Sir,
We wish to invite your kind attention towards the discussion we had on 30.06.2016 at the residence of Hon’ble Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh, wherein Hon’ble Minister for Finance, Shri Arun Jaitley, Hon’ble Minister for Railways, Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu, and Hon’ble Minister of State for Railways, Shri Manoj Sinha, were present, wherein it was assured to the representatives of the NJCA that the issues pertaining to Minimum Wage and Fitment Multiplication Factor would be referred to a “High Level Committee” to review the same.
It is a matter of concern that, despite elapsing a pretty long time, nothing has been heard in this regard from the Government of India, which is leading to serious resentment amongst the Central Government Employees.
In the background of issuance of the Notification by the Government of India on 26.07.2016 to give effect to the recommendations of the 7th CPC as per 29th June, 2016 Cabinet decision, we request you to expedite action for setting up the proposed “High Level Committee” to review Minimum Wage and Fitment Multiplication Factor as was promised in the 30th June, 2016 meeting and also in the subsequent meeting of 6th July 2016 with the Hon’ble Home Minister(Government of India), which paved way for deferment of “Indefinite strike” which was proposed to be held from 11th July 2016.
It would be highly appreciated if necessary orders are issued for setting up the said committee without further delay to resolve these issues in a quick way.
