The Tamil Nadu government declared a public holiday on July 30 2015 as a mark of respect to former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam who died on Monday. TN released GO , stating that
“The Government of Tamil Nadu announce with profound regret the death of Thiru A.P.J. Addul Kalam, Former President of India on 27.07.2015 at Shilong. The Government have decided to declare a Public Holiday on the day of funeral i.e. on 30.07.2015 for all educational Institutions and for all Government / Private Establishments under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, as a mark of respect to the former President.”
The 7th Pay Commission is likely to raise the salaries of government employees by up to 40 per cent, said Neelkanth Mishra, India equity strategist of Credit Suisse. The Pay Commission will submit its recommendations in October and it will be implemented by next year.
“As the Pay Commission numbers come through there could be a 30-40 per cent increase for each individual. It won’t be as big as last time because it was driven by a lot of arrears but definitely a large number of government employees will come into the pay bracket which can afford to have, for example, four-wheelers,” he said in an interview with NDTV.
Credit Suisse says about one-third of India’s middle class is employed by the government and as the 7th Pay Commission comes through, there will be an improvement in discretionary spending.
“In Tier 3, Tier 4 towns where government employees are 50-60 per cent of the middle class, it is very likely that real estate markets will take off again,” Mr Mishra said.
Once the Pay Commission submits its recommendations in October, it will take 3-6 months for the Centre and the states to announce its implementation, Credit Suisse said.
Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have already indicated that they are going to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations from January 1, 2016, he said.
As clarity emerges on the 7th Pay Commission, consumption will see an uptick and that could act as a stimulus to the economy, the brokerage said.
However, Mr Mishra struck a note of caution. “Clearly if you see a third or 35 per cent of your middle class getting a 40 per cent or 30 per cent jump in compensation in one shot, the fears of inflation will rise.” Expectations of rate cuts can get pushed out and some possible fiscal pressures can emerge, he warned.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Requirement of taking prior permission for leaving station/ headquarters for going abroad while on leave.
Undersigned is directed to refer to the Office Memorandum mentioned in the margin and to say that as per the existing instructions, when Government servant applies for leave for going abroad on a private visit, separately prior permission of the Competent authority for such visit is also required. While granting such permission, many factors are required to be kept in view. For example, permission may be denied in the interest of security. Individuals facing investigation/inquiry on serious charges, who may try to evade apprehension by police authorities, or facing the inquiry, may also not be permitted to leave the country. On the other hand, it is also desirable that requests of Government servants for such permission are dealt with expeditiously.
2. Keeping the above in view, it has been decided that requests for permission for private visits abroad may be processed in the attached formats. As clarified vide the OM dated 1st September, 2008, the competent authority for granting permission will be as per instructions issued by the Cadre Authority/administrative Ministry/Department. In the absence of any such instructions, it is the leave sanctioning authority. In case due to specific nature of work in a Department, administrative exigencies, or some adverse factors against the Government servant etc., it is not expedient to grant permission to the Government servant, such decision for refusal should not be taken below the level of Head of Department. It may be ensured that the decisions are conveyed to the Government servants within 21 days of receipt of complete application to the competent authority. Any lacunae in the application should be brought to the notice of the Government servant within one week of the receipt of the application. In the event of failure on the part of the competent authority to communicate its decision to the Government employee concerned with 21 days of receipt of the application, the employee concerned shall be free to assume that permission has been granted to him.
3. If in case some modifications are considered necessary due to specialised nature of work handled by any organisation, changes may be made with the approval of this Department.

Government is in favour of timely promotions in services and the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) is constantly working on ways and means to overcome delay in providing various benefits to employees.
This was stated here today by 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, when a deputation of Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service (CSSS) Association of Private Secretaries called on him at his North Block office.
The deputation, led by Shri Sushil Sachdeva, handed over a memorandum to Dr Jitendra Singh and said that after having put in as many as 20 to 30 years of service, the only expectation is that they would get some reward by way of timely elevation, but when this is denied, they lose the initiative to work and feel demoralised. They also complained that their agony becomes more acute when they see that their counterparts in parallel services get promoted faster and some of them become senior to them. This also affects pensionary benefits that they are entitled to receive at the time of superannuation.
The deputation leader also said that Dr Jitendra Singh is known as a Minister with highly positive and pro-employee approach and therefore, they have come to him with a great hope.
Dr Jitendra Singh gave them a patient hearing and said that various demands and grievances put up by the Association will be placed for consideration at appropriate level. He said, the Modi Government is committed to provide ‘Maximum Governance with Minimum Government’ and has adopted several radical measures to simplify governance and provide a comfortable as well as work-friendly environment for officials. It is in the same spirit that officials of different Services are also intended to be made comfortable and ensured a sense of esteem through timely promotions and befitting status in their service career, he added.
Prominent among the other members of the deputation who met the Minister were Dimple Kapoor, Girish Kumar, Alok Kumar and M.S. Rawat.

The Union Cabinet has expressed profound sorrow at the sad demise of former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. In a resolution passed at a special Cabinet Meeting this morning, it said, “in his passing away the country has lost a visionary scientist, a true nationalist and a great son”. The Cabinet met under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi and extended its heart-felt condolences to the bereaved family on behalf of the Government and the entire nation. The former President breathed his last at Bethany Hospital, Shillong, Meghalaya on 27th July, 2015.
The following is the text of the Resolution:
“Born on 15th October, 1931 at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, specialized in Aeronautical Engineering from Madras Institute of Technology. Dr. Kalam made significant contribution in developing India’s first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle and made India an exclusive member of Space Club.

He gave thrust to self-reliance in defence systems by introducing Light Combat Aircraft.
