OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Instructions for processing foreign visits of officers of the Government of India for approval of Screening Committee of Secretaries (SCoS).

In order to regulate foreign visits of Government of India officers and delegations and to make these visits more effective, the existing sets of guidelines/instructions on the subject have been comprehensively reviewed. The rised guidelines, as follows, are hereby circulated for strict compliance by all Ministries/Departments:

(1) Ministries/Departments shall upload the data related to foreign visits on the online Foreign Visit Management System (FVMS) which has been developed and can be accessed at the URL notified at the Department of Expenditure website. Each Ministry / Department has been provided with an user ID and Password for this purpose.

{2) To optimize the outcome from foreign tours of officers, each Ministry/Department shall prepare a Quarterly Rolling Plan (QRP) of proposed programmes/ visits for the next 3 months. Such a QRP will be uploaded on the FVMS and will be reviewed every month with one additional month being added to it. Only the essential foreign visits which cannot be avoided may be included.

(3) The level of officers and the strength of the delegation be worked out keeping in view factors such as expertise and manpower available with our Missions abroad, leveraging modern technology of tele-conferencing or video conferencing, etc. so as to keep the delegation size to the bare minimum. In respect of objectives that can be achieved through exchange of letters, tele/video conferencing or representation from our Missions abroad, no foreign visit need be undertaken.

(4) Duration of the visit shall also be kept to the absolute minimum. The administrative Secretary shall ensure in every case, that officers of appropriate functional level dealing with the subject are sponsored/ deputed instead of those at higher levels.

(5) Foreign visits shall not exceed 05 working days. Any delegation for foreign travel (irrespective of the level of officers), exceeding 05 working days or 05 members, shall be placed before the SCoS for approval.

(6) No officer shall undertake more than 04 official visits abroad in a year. For visits exceeding 04 by Secretary/equivalent, proposal shall be submitted for approval of the Prime Minister through SCoS. For visits exceeding 04 by officers below Secretary level, proposal shall be submitted to SCoS for approval. Ministries/Departments shall make efforts to ensure that at least two to three officers at appropriate levels are trained and made adept on concerned subjects so as to avoid repetitive visits of the same officers.

(7) Participation of officials in international fairs/exhibitions/workshops and conferences shall be discouraged. If considered essential, only the officer directly dealing with the subject shall be deputed. In such international events. if required to do so, a coordinated presence and projection of ‘Brand India’ should be attempted instead of individual Departments/ Ministries setting up individual stalls. For this purpose, depending on the nature of the exhibition, a nodal Department should be identified to take the lead in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs.

(8) In an outgoing Indian delegation, there need not be any Ministry of External Affairs’ official from India. Instead, services of the Indian Mission situated in the destination country could be utilised. Also. the practice of mobilisation of personnel by the host Mission from other Missions situated in other countries should not be resorted to. For any exceptional requirements, prior approval of the Cabinet Secretary should be obtained.

(9) Secretaries to Government shall travel abroad only when their presence is required and no one else can be deputed instead.

(10) Secretaries shall not undertake any foreign visits during the Parliament Session unless it is absolutely unavoidable.

(11) The Minister and the Secretary shall not. normally, be away from the headquarters at the same time. If, however, both are required to be deputed abroad, the necessity for deputing the Secretary at the same time as the Minister may be brought out clearly for consideration of Prime Minister through SCoS.

(12) Proposals relating to foreign visits/deputation abroad of officers of the rank of Secretary and Additional Secretary shall continue to be sent to SCoS except visit to SAARC countries {including Myanmar).

(13) The proposals for the visit to SAARC countries (including Myanmar) will be decided by the Ministries concerned in consultation with their Financial Advisers (FAs). However, proposals of foreign tour of Secretary accompanying the Minister to SAARC countries will require to be submitted to the SCoS for approval.

(14) In respect of foreign visits of officers, all cases which require approval of the SCoS shall be submitted to Department of Expenditure after obtaining the approval of competent authority viz. Minister-in-Charge with the concurrence of FA.

(15) Composite delegation led by Secretary/Additional Secretary comprising officers of the level of Joint Secretary and below including non-officials (visiting at Government cost), is to be submitted for SCoS approval. The proposal shall not be split and details of the entire delegation shall be sent to the SCoS.

(16) Visits of officers of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs)/Autonomous Bodies (ABs) are exempted from SCoS procedure unless they form part of a composite delegation from the administrative Ministry.

(17) Expenditure on the foreign visit of officers of Ministries/Departments shall be borne by Government only, even if the visit of the officer(s) is in his capacity as ex-officio member of PSUs/ABs or otherwise, and in connection with affairs of PSUs/ABs. Any proposal for relaxation in this regard shall be referred to Secretary (Expenditure).

(18) Visit of non-officials at Government cost will require approval of PM. Their visits are to be routed through SCoS only if they form a part of a composite delegation. In other cases, the PM is to be approached (through PMO) by the administrative Ministry directly.

(19) There shall be no objection in accepting international air travel costs and hospitality from an international body of which India is a member or the visit abroad is covered under bilateral/multilateral agreement or under a regular exchange programme. The terms and conditions on deputation shall not be supplemented with the terms and conditions on deputation offered by the Government of India viz. the mode and class of travel. Payment of cash allowance and other allowances including local travel and stay in hotel would be as per the terms offered by the foreign Government/ sponsors.

(20) Invitations received directly by the officers by virtue of expertise in a particular field and where no particular Government of India business is to be transacted will be treated as personal visits. Such visits in respect of Additional Secretary and above level officers require SCoS approval. The officer would have to take leave for the period of such visits and such visits are not to be undertaken at government costs.

(21) Proposals shall be submitted along with deputation proforma containing all relevant details (including political clearance from MEA and FCRA clearance from MHA, if required). Only those proposals are to be referred to SCoS where funds are available to bear the expenditure on the foreign visit.

{22) Proposals, complete in all respects, seeking approval of SCoS shall be submitted to Department of Expenditure 15 days prior to departure date of delegation.

(23) Deputation abroad of officers of the level above Director upto Joint Secretary will be decided by Ministries/Departments, under delegated powers, in consultation with their FA and with the approval of the Minister-in-charge. Foreign visits of officers upto the level of Director and equivalent will be decided by the administrative Secretaries in consultation with the concerned FA.

(24) Deputations of officers upto the level of Joint Secretaries in Ministries/Departments and officials from PSUs/ Autonomous Bodies, etc. shall also be regulated in accordance with the spirit of these guidelines.

(25) The leader of the delegation shall upload the tour report in the requisite format on FVMS and also submit the same to the Minister containing, inter-alia. the major achievements from the tour and post-visit outcomes.

NFIR’s proposals for Railway Budget 2016-17

NFIR
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

No. IV/NFIR/RAIL-BUDGET/PT.II

Dated: 05/01/2016

Shri Suresh Prabhu,
Hon’ble Minister for Railways,
Rail Mantralaya,
Rail Bhavan,
New Delhi.

Respected Sir,

Sub: NFIR’s proposals for Rail Budget 2016-17-reg.

***********

NFIR wishes to bring to your kind notice that the Railway Ministers have made budget pronouncements for Staff Welfare, but, however the following pronouncements have not been implemented till date. Extract of pronouncements are placed below:-

Railway Budget 2009-10

STAFF WELFARE

Item No. 32

  • “A thrust will be given under the Corporate Welfare Plan for improvement of staff quarters & colonies. During 2009-10, 6550 Staff Quarters are proposed to be constructed.
  • It is proposed to Open seven Nursing Colleges on Railway land at Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai (Kalyan), Chennai, Secunderabad, Lucknow and Jabalpur on Public Private Partnership model so as to facilitate the wards of the Railway employees in finding a good vocational avenue”.

Railway Budget 2010-11

STAFF WELFARE & HEALTH

  • Item No. 49 of the Budget Speech:- A new Scheme of ‘House for All’, was launched to provide residences to all Railway employees in the next ten years with the help of Ministry of Urban Development.
  • Item No. 54 of Budget speech:- It is proposed to set up 50 Creches for children of 80,000 women employees and 20 hostels. Railways will also provide more numbers of community centres and stadiums.

Railway Budget 2011-12

  • Extending medical facilities to both dependent father & mother.
  • 20 additional hostels for children of Railway employees to be set up.

Railway Budget 2012-13

  • Railways is a 24×7 service available to the rail-users. To run services at this scale, the employees have to put in long hours of duty without any respite round the year and the compulsion of job creates high stress levels. I therefore intend to introduce a wellness programme for them at their places for early detection. of risk factors, prevention and early treatment of diseases caused due to high blood pressure and sugar levels, obesity and other lifestyle related ailments.
  • We need to recognize the dedication, hard work and sacrifice of the staff at all levels. To minimize incidence of human error especially amongst the skilled and technical staff including loco pilots, cabin men and gangmen, it is important to ensure proper rest period for them. I am also conscious of the importance of periodic training and creation of a general environment to provide them enhanced dignity. I have also requested NID to design appropriate outfits for various categories of workforce.

Railway Budget 2013-14

  • Construction of staff quarters has been hampered by funding constraints. Encouraged by the success of Ministry of Urban Development in constructing quarters through PPP mode, I propose to=adopt the same in the Railways. Yet, I have enhanced the fund allocation under staff quarter by 50% over previous year to provide Rs. 3000 crore.
  • Provision of hostel facilities for single women railway employees at all Divisional Headquarters.
  • Considering the stress faced by loco-pilots particularly in harsh climatic conditions, it is proposed to provide water closets and air condition the locomotive cabs.
  • Conduct National Skill Development Programme of the Ministry of Railways to impart skills to the youths in Railway related trades at 25 locations spread across the length and breadth of the country.
  • Setting up of a multi-disciplinary training institute at Nagpur for imparting training in rail related electronics technologies.

NFIR requests the Hon’ble Railway Minister to see that the Government takes steps for fulfillment of its Budget pronouncements.

II.NFIR also requests the Hon’ble MR to consider making Budget announcements on the following:-

(a) Provision of funds for construction/improvement of Railway Institutes, Community Halls and Holiday Homes.
(b) Provision of adequate funds for construction of new Railway Quarters on replacement account to the extant of 100%.
(c) Sanctioning of Cardiology Department at Northern Railway Central Hospital, New Delhi.
(d) Road Mobile Medical Vans facility for covering all remote and inaccessible areas in Railways.

III. NFIR alsoybrings to the notice of Hon’ble Railway Minister that the condition of Railway Quarters on Indian Railways is awfully bad and many of them deserve demolition. New Quarters are not being built adequately due to inadequate allotment of funds. Federation cites the case of Mumbai area of Western Railway wherein about 1200 Railway quarters (Type-I to Type-IV) have been dismantled by the Railway administration. However, Western Railway authorities have constructed only 447 Railway quarters which is only 37%, of total number demolished. Adequate funds need to be provided for construction of new Quarters atleast equivalent to the number demolished. Also there are over 600 Railway Quarters (Type-I & Type-II) in Mumbai area which do not have separate toilets. The Railway employees and their families living in those quarters in Mumbai are compelled to share common toilets (one toilet shared by 3, to 4 families), thus the lives of employees are miserable.

NFIR requests the Hon’ble MR to consider the points placed above favourably and give decisions.

Yours faithfully

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)

7th CPC: Central government employees salary hikes not before June?

7th CPC: Central government employees salary hikes not before June?

Government is likely to accept the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and offer salary hikes to Central Government Employees not before June 2016.

Though, the matter may become clearer when Finance Ministry announces the details on implementation, and that is expected to happen before Budget 2016-17 in February.

Then there are Assembly elections expected in Pondicherry, Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala. So the implementation of salary hike is also expected only when the State Assembly elections are over by June/July.

Also, as per reports, seven states: UP, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Tripura and Sikkim, have requested the Centre to delay implementation of salary hikes due to the financial burden 7th CPC recommendations are likely to cast on the state exchequer.

The undersigned is directed to refer to O.M of even number dated 6th June, 2013 wherein instructions have been issued on submission of representation by Government servants about their service matters.

Impact of the recommendations of 7th CPC

National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

No. IV/NFIR/7th CPC/CORRES (R.B.)

Dated: 04/01/2016

The Addl: Member (Budget),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub : Impact of the recommendations of 7th CPC- reg.

Ref : AM(B) note No. 2015-B-265 dated 23/12/2015 addressed to GS/NFIR.

With reference to the note received from AM(B) dated 23/12/2015 on the subject relating to the implementation of the recommendations of  7th CPC on Railways, the Federation at the outset conveys as follows:-

During discussions with the Hon’ble MR and the Board (CRB, FC, MS) on 23rd December 2015, the NFIR General Secretary has expressed that there is all-round unhappiness on 7th CPC recommendations as in many cases the ‘Take Home Pay’ is either very marginal or less than what is received by the employee now. The Federation also disputed the estimated financial implications (Rs.28,500 crores) and said that the estimated expenditure has been exaggerated. It was also brought to the notice of the MR the retrograde recommendations of 7th CPC, while the case of Railway employees of various categories was not dealt adequately and the Railway Ministry has unfortunately not apprised the inadequacies of Grades Pay and Pay Band of 6th CPC to the Chairman, 7th CPC.

2. As desired vide note dated 23/12/2015, the Federation furnishes the following details as Annexures to this letter.

(a) Table –I gives the position of 6th CPC minimum pay in Pay Band & Grade Pay (PB-I to PB-3) as on 01/01/2016.

(b) Table-I (a) explains the 7th CPC minimum pay from Level-1 to Level-12 of the Pay Matrix . [A comparison of Table-I with Table-I (a) reveals that the net benefit is marginal at Level-1, minus at Level–2. However, there may be substantial increase from Level- 7 and above. If Income Tax deduction takes place, the increase will fall.]

(c) Table–II indicates 6th CPC minimum pay in GP+ Pay Band without HRA.

Table-II (a) gives 7th CPC minimum pay without HRA (staff in occupation of Railway quarters are not entitled for HRA).

[A comparison of Table-II with Table-II (a) shows minus ‘Take Home Pay’ for employees of Level- I to Level-6 of Pay Matrix and equally marginal increase to those in Level-7, 8 & 9 of Pay Matrix. Again in Level-I 0 the ‘Take Home Pay’ will be less than the present amount. Overall position will be either “minus” or “marginal increase”. The Income Tax deduction would further worsen.]

(d) Table–III shows the approximate 6th CPC pay of employees after drawal of 10 annual increments.

Table III (a) provides information pertaining to 7th CPC Pay (approx) for Staff in Level-1 to Level-12 (Pay Matrix).

[A comparison between Table-III and Table-III(a) reveals that there will be marginal increase to those in Level-I to Level-6. Although there will be an increase of more than 2400 to those in Level-7 to Level-12, the Income Tax deduction would reduce their ‘Net Take Home Pay.’

(e) Table-IV gives position of 6th CPC Pay of staff (without HRA + 10 annual increments – approx) as on 01/01/2016 Table-IV(a) explains 7th CPC Pay without HRA as on 01101/2016.

[A comparison of Table-IV with Table-IV (a) reveals that those in CPC Pay Matrix Level-I to Level-12 will draw minus salary. With Income Tax deduction, the position may be more worse.]
Note:

(i) In the case of employees living in Railway Quarters (nearly 40%) the financial implications of HRA will be Zero.

(ii) The unfilled vacancies are approximately over two lakhs since the last two years. The costs of these posts have already been saved by the Indian Railways.

Yours faithfully

Expected DA from January 2016

As per the AICPIN data, expected dearness allowance from January 2016 will be 125%, there are chances to get 126% of DA, if AICPIN for the month of December 2015 will be above 272 points.

Dearness Allowance is confirmed for 125% as of current AICPIN data. Let us assume for December 2015, if AICPIN stayed or increased upto 1 point i.e. upto 271, DA will be 125%, incase on or above 272 then DA will be 126%

AICPIN Point for Dec (assumption) % of DA
upto 271 125
on or above 272 126

 

Dearness Allowance already estimated 125% in the 7th pay Commission Report, based on 125% the Pay Commission calculated the multiplication factor to 2.57, incase DA from January 2016 reaches 126% then there are chances to revise the multiplication factor from 2.57.
