OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Deputation of Central Government servants to posts in Central Autonomous Bodies — Review of Policy.

The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with the instructions contained in this Department of OM of even number dated 31.10.2007, appointment of Central Government employees in Central Autonomous Bodies can be made on immediate absorption basis only. Appointment of Central Government servants on deputation to the posts in the Central Autonomous Bodies can be made only after obtaining exemption from Rule of Immediate Absorption in respect of those posts from Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare.

2. Keeping in view the difficulties being faced by Autonomous Bodies in filling up the posts due to the application of Rule of Immediate Absorption, the matter has been reviewed in consultation with Department of Personnel & Training and Department of Expenditure. In partial modification of the instructions contained in this Department’s OM dated 31.10.2007, it has been decided to allow appointment of Central Government employees to posts in Central Autonomous Bodies on deputation basis without seeking exemption from Rule of Immediate Absorption, if the Recruitment Rules for the posts specifically provide for the appointment of Central Government employee on deputation. This relaxation will be subject to the following conditions:

i. The general principle of public interest shall be overriding factor in providing deputation as a method of recruitment. The general criteria for providing deputation as a method of recruitment would be non-availability of suitable persons for joining a post on regular basis from within or outside the organization. In other words deputation as a method of recruitment would be provided only if there are not enough posts in the feeder grade for appointment by promotion or if the candidates from Central Government are not likely to join the Autonomous Body on immediate absorption basis.

ii. Deputation as a method of recruitment may generally be provided in respect of the following categories of posts in the Autonomous Bodies.

a) Posts requiring specialized personnel in connection with scientific research or development of technology.

b) Posts in executive or senior management level i.e. post carrying a Grade pay of not less than Rs.7600/- in Central Autonomous Body having very close inter-action with policies and programmes of the Government.

c) Posts where the nature of the work requires employment of Government officers for security reasons or vigilance purposes.

d) Posts in newly established/temporary organizations ( upto a period of 5 years from the date of establishment).

e) Posts limited in number particularly in specialized fields where creation of a regular cadre is not feasible.

f) The number of posts to be exempted may be decided in each CAB on a case to case basis.

iii. The recruitment rules for a post in an Autonomous Body, which provide for deputation from Central Government employees, must have the approval of the Competent Authority in the Administrative Ministry /Department.

iv. In case the recruitment rules for a post in the Autonomous Body have not been notified or recruitment rules do not provide for deputation as a method of recruitment, then the existing instructions regarding seeking exemption from the rule of immediate absorption would continue to apply.

v. The recruitment rules must specify the maximum number/percentage of posts in a particular grade that can be filled on deputation. Appointment on deputation beyond the number specified in the Recruitment Rules would not be made by the autonomous body.

vi. In case it is proposed to make recruitment by deputation of Government employees in excess of the deputation quota provided in the recruitment rules, specific approval of Administrative Ministry for making such recruitment by deputation would be obtained. If such a relaxation is approved by the Administrative Ministry, no further exemption from rule of immediate absorption would be required.

vii. There should be an entry in recruitment rules to the effect that the exemption from rule of immediate absorption is not required for appointment on deputation.

3. The above appointments would be treated as appointment on non-Central Staffing Scheme (non-CSS) posts. Thus, the ceiling on deputation period relating to CSS plus non-CSS will apply on such appointments.

4. All other provisions in the OM dated 31.10.2007, which have not been specifically modified in this O.M., would continue to be applicable.

5. The instructions regarding other clearances, including cadre clearance, required for appointment on deputation of Government employees to autonomous bodies would continue to be applicable.

6. All administrative Ministries/Departments are requested to take note of the above decisions and also to bring the same to the notice of the Autonomous bodies under their administrative control for strict compliance by all concerned.

7. This issues with the approval of competent authority.

8. Hindi version will follow.

Dr Jitendra Singh to inaugurate 27th SCOVA meeting tomorrow

The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh will inaugurate the 27th meeting of Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies (SCOVA) here tomorrow.

Progress made on the decisions taken during the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) meeting on pensionary matters held on Sept 25, 2014 under the chairmanship of Secretary (Pension) will also be reviewed.

The government has announced a number of innovative measures to make the delivery of pension and related documents much more convenient and less time-consuming such as the Aadhaar based “Jeevan Pramaan Package” launched by Prime Minister on November 11, 2014 which enables the pensioners to register online their life certificates in digital format. As a part of the e-Governance plan, the Department of Pensions has started a web-based pensioners’ portal which serves as one-stop information source for pensioners across the country. An online pension sanction and payment tracking system called “Bhavishya” has also been introduced and more than 25 Central Ministries and Departments have already been initiated into this system. Another web-based application called “Sankalpa” has been developed which provides a platform for pensioners to access opportunities available for useful interventions in the society.

Implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ After Bihar Polls: Manohar Parrikar

Implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ After Bihar Polls: Manohar Parrikar

The One Rank, One Pension for retired military personnel will be implemented after the Bihar elections, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Sunday.

He also said that contentious issues including those related to premature retirement had been resolved, conceding that the inclusion of the phrase Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) in the declaration announced by his ministry in September had triggered confusion.

“I think I will have to wait up for the Bihar elections. Because Election Commission is in no mood to give permission to actually issue the order. This is my understanding. I will not like to be in part of controversy,” Mr Parrikar said during a public interaction near .

“The notification will be issued after Bihar election because I do not want to get notice by Election Commission,” he said.

Mr Parrikar clarified that “those who get premature retirement will get OROP even in future”.

“That confusion started because the word VRS was a part of the declaration. The interpretation got slightly mixed up. It was not (done) intentionally,” he said.

Bihar goes to polls today with 49 seats being contested in the first phase.

7th Pay Commission Likely To Propose Highest Pay Hike Since 1947

7th Pay Commission Likely To Propose Highest Pay Hike Since 1947

The Seventh Pay Commission is likely to propose pay hike for central government employees, which will be highest since first pay commission’s proposal in 1947.

The first pay commission was constituted in 1946, while its submitted its report on May, 1947 to the interim government of India. ‘Living wage’ — the guiding principle for the first Pay Commission — is long past.

‘Now is Seventh Pay Commission time’, which is also to take in to account living cost of central government employees cost of their appraisal.

The cost of living measures the annual cost of necessities for one adult to live a secure, yet modest, lifestyle by estimating the costs of housing, food, transportation, health care, other necessities, and taxes.

Every government employee likely has a six-member family including his parents. So, Seventh Pay Commission is likely to increase salaries and allowances to minimise the impact on the cost of living for 50 lakh central government employees and 56 lakh pensioners including dependents.

Inflation pushes living cost, inflation, is an economic concept. The effect of inflation is the prices of everything going up year by year. A central government employee got salary Rs 3000 in 1987 under Sixth pay commission, now he gets Rs 80,000 with two promotion, this is called inflation, the price of everything goes up. When the price goes up, the salaries go up.

Every successive Pay Commission has roughly tripled pay. This means that simply by hiking up living cost for 10 years, a government employee would have tripled his pay.

The first pay commission was recommended Rs 55 salary to the lowest earning employee, second Rs 80, third Rs 185, fourth Rs 750, fifth Rs 2550 and sixth Rs 6660.

Accordingly, the Seventh Pay Commission is likely to propose minimum basic salary Rs 20,000 of central government employees, sources in the pay panel said.

The main reason behind the proposal of Seventh Pay Commission is to hike highest pay since 1947 on the account of Dearness Allowance (DA). The central government employees will get Dearness Allowance likely 125 percent at the time implementation of Seventh pay Commission. They never got such type of Dearness Allowance hike before implementation of any Pay Commission.

Dearness Allowance always merges with salaries and allowances under every pay commission’s proposal.

“The Seventh Pay Commission is ready with recommendations and the report will be submitted soon,” according to sources.

Headed by Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, the Seventh Pay Commission was appointed in February 2014 and its recommendations are scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2016.

The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and often states also implement the panel’s recommendations after some modifications. The first pay commission was constituted in 1946, second in 1957, third in 1970, fourth in 1983, fifth in 1994, sixth in 2006 and seventh in 2014.

As part of the exercise, the Seventh Pay Commission holds discussions with various stakeholders, including organisations, federations, groups representing civil employees as well as defence services.

Meena Agarwal is the secretary of the Commission. Other members are Vivek Rae, a retired IAS officer of 1978 batch and Rathin Roy, an economist.

The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1, 2006, the fifth from January 1, 1996 and the fourth from January 1, 1986.

27th MEETING OF STANDING COMMITTEE OF VOLUNTARY AGENCIES (SCOVA)

S. No Fresh Agenda Items-27th SCOVA Meeting

(27.1) Modification to the format of Life Certificate – Issue of acknowledgement to Pensioners submitting Life Certificate

As per Reserve Bank of India notification No. RBI/2014-15/587 dated 7th May, 2015, it is mandatory for the Pension Paying Banks to issue an acknowledgement to Pensioners when they submit Life Certificate every year in November for continuance of pension. After the recent relaxation of the procedure for submission of Life Certificate, Pensioners can submit Life Certificate in any branch of the Bank from which they draw their pension. Pension Paying Banks are required to update their master data with CPPC and the updated master data is required to be sent to CPAO in 1st week of December every year. Several instances of stoppage of payment of pension by CPPCs have been reported citing non receipt of Life Certificate, even though the Pensioners had submitted their Life Certificates to the Bank due to misplacement of the Life Certificates at the Bank branches concerned. Instances of some Pension Paying Banks not accepting Life Certificates given to them by Pensioners and directing Pensioners to submit the Life Certificate to CPPC have also been reported causing great inconvenience to Pensioners, which results in either stoppage of payment of pension or delay in payment of pension.

The format of Life Certificate may be suitably modified to include a part in the format to provide for issue of acknowledgement, which can be detached and given to the Pensioner by the receiving Bank.

As per orders issued vide OM dated 01.09.2008, the revised pension of pre-2006 pensioners would not be less that 50% of the minimum of pay in the pay band+grade pay in the revised pay structure. In the Om dated 28.01.2013 it was provided that the minimum pay in the pay band for the purpose would be with reference to the fitment table applicable for pay fixation of the serving employee. The OM dated 28.01.2013 was effective from 24.09.2012. Im implementation of the Orders of Hon’ble CAT/High Court and following dismissal of the SLP/Review Petition filed by the Government, and OM dated 30.07.2015 has been issued for extending the benefit of OM dated 28.01.2013 w.e.f 01.01.2006 instead of 24.09.2012. These orders, however, provide that the minimum pension was would be reduced proportionately if the qualifying service of pre-2006 pensioners was less than 33 years. The pre-2006 pensioners should be allowed the benefit of minimum pension as per OM dated 28.01.2013/30.07.2015 without any pro-rata reduction based on qualifying service.

(A) Regular appointment of group C and D employees of C.G.H.S Dehradun be made

The staff in the dispensary are very short. They are appointed through outsource agency in 2004. Regular appointments of group C and D employees have not been made till today. The outsource recruited employees clerk are not aware with the nature of work of the office all work of the beneficiaries are being delayed. M.R.C Bill form 2-3 years and in some cases 5 years has not been paid. Proper records are not been maintained thereby they are facing great problems an hardship in their old age. Therefore, all group C and D employees be appointed with regular basis without any further delay.

(B) Opening of Arurvedic/Homeopathic and Sidda dispensary at CGHS Dehradun.

At Present there are no facility available at CGHS Dehradun for the beneficiaries to take the treatment in Arurvedic, Homeopathic and Sidda system of medicines.

(C) Posting/Appointment of Regional Director at CGHS Dehradun in Uttarakhand.

For the proper and smooth functioning of the dispensary it is essential that posting/ Appointment of Regional Director be made as in Chandigarh CGHS.

(27.5) Supreme Court judgment in CA No. 11527 of 2014 (Arising out of SLP No:- 11684 of 2012)
As per the existing instructions issued by DoPT vide OM No. 18/26/2011-Estt (Pay-1) dated 06.02.2014, the recovery of over payment of pays & allowances and pension is permissible. Hon’ble Supreme Court in its recent judgment dated 18.12.2014 in CA No. 11527 of 2014 has laid down the following situation in which recoveries from employees would be impermissible in law:

(i) Recovery form employees belonging to Class-III and Class-IV service (or Group ‘C’ and Group ‘D’ service)

(ii) Recovery from retired employees, or employees who are due to retire within one year, of the order of recovery.

(iii) Recovery from employees, when the excess payment has been made for a period in excess of five years, before the order of recovery is issued.

(iv) Recovery in cases where an employee has wrongfully been required to discharge duties of a higher post, and has been paid accordingly, even though he should have rightfully been required to work against an inferior post.

(v) In any other case, where the Court arrives at the conclusion, that recovery if made from the employee, would be iniquitous or harsh or arbitrary to such an extent, as would far outweigh the equitable balance of the employer’s right to recover.

Orders may be issued for implementation of the above guidelines prescribed by Hon’ble Supreme Court.

(Action:- DoPT/DoPPW)

(27.6) Implementation of circular No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 30.07.2015

In order to get the benefits from 24.09.2012 extended under OM dated 28.01.2013, the pensioner had submitted application for Revision of pension to the Pension Sanctioning Authority and a large number of such pensioners are still to get the fruits of revision of pension from 24.09.2012. If the pensioners are yet again required to submit application for re-revision to get the benefit from 01.01.2006 as per circular dt. 30.07.2015, it is bound to cause further hardship to them particularly in view of their advanced age. Moreover, there is an obligation to implement the Court Order within specified time. To obviate the situation, it is requested that : i) The pension sanctioning authorities may be advised to suo-moto rerevise the pension from 01.01.2006 instead of 24.09.2012 or as applicable in a time bound manner without requiring the pensioner to apply for it. ii) In respect of pending application and other cases of omission, the PSA instead of issuing Revision Order from 24.09.2012 should straightway issue sanction order w.e.f. 01.01.2006 in admissible cases within the given time.

(27.7) Facility for Online Railway Booking
Physically challenged passengers are entitled to rail fare concession up to 75%. However, this concession cannot be availed of through online booking, despite the fact that physically disabled need online facility much more than the able-bodied. Though the railways have made a beginning now, since the concessions offered by them vary for each type of disability, they need to modify their website accordingly. DP&PW may take up the issue with Ministry of Railways for an early action. In order to prevent misuse of the facility, Railways or MoD, in case of disabled defence pensioners, can issue permanent photo i-cards to entitled persons after satisfying itself of the genuineness of their disability and entitlement and the i-card no. can be quoted while booking and produced for checking during travel.
