Prasar Bharati contractual employees demand for regularization of their services

By

A delegation of “Prasar Bharati” Contractual Employees called on Union Minister of State for Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances ,Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh here today and requested him to take up with the government their demand for regularization of their services.

A memorandum submitted to the Minister by the delegation representatives Shri Rajeev Sonkar, Shri Lalit Tewari and others stated that for more than a decade, they had been working in various Doordarshan channels like DD National, DD India, DD News, DD Urdu, DD Sports, Central Production Centre (CPC), DD K-Delhi, NC-KD, Archive, ADG (DC), DD Bharti, Delhi, Gangtok, Raipur, Patna, Mau, Mirzapur, Indore, Allahabad, Gwalior, Bhopal and other programme stations spread across the country, but they are paid a meager salary ranging from Rs.17,000/- to a maximum of Rs 20,000/ or Rs.25,000/- per month, which , according to them, is too less to make two ends meet.

The memorandum further stated that the number of such category of employees spread all over India is around 500 and they are highly qualified with most of them having specialized degrees in mass communication, journalism, etc. But in spite of that, they are paid a consolidated salary without any additional benefit like health insurance, Provident Fund, etc. available to other employees in the government.

Another grievance expressed by the employees was that while in other departments of the government, there is some mechanism of regularization of services of employees falling under similar categories. They said that in their case, even after putting in service for several years, there is no mechanism in place for regularization of their services. As a result, they feel discriminated in comparison to their counterparts in other departments who are holding similar position for the same length of service but are paid better off.

The employees also stated that in 2003 they were, to begin with, recruited by M/s. Broadcast Engineering Consultant India Ltd. (BECIL) an enterprise of Government of India, but subsequently, their contract was transferred from BECIL to Prasar Bharati. Thereafter, they said, they were facing constant uncertainty of job because after their contract came to an end in February 2014, they were being kept on extension which was allowed only by a period of one month at a time, as a result of which they were under constant sense of insecurity.

Dr. Jitendra Singh gave the delegation a patient hearing and said that their grievances will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities in the government.

7th Pay Commission Recommendations has begun to emerge!

By
igeadmin

“It doesn’t come as a surprise that even bits and morsels of information about the recommendations, which is being eagerly expected by nearly 50 lakh employees and pensioners, make headlines.”

The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission have slowly started to make their way to the media in the form of unconfirmed news. The information that was being extensively discussed by all for more than a week now has finally made it to the websites yesterday.

It has now been confirmed that the 7th Pay Commission will submit is report to the Government next month. With the report being given a final shape, certain pieces of information have already started to hit the media. Some of the workable recommendations of the commission are out.

In 2006, a number of such unconfirmed reports surfaced, when the 6th Pay Commission report was being prepared, because the report was not submitted to the government on time. Due to the delay, there was tremendous curiosity to find out what the report contained. This led to a lot of rumors. Since the internet didn’t become that popular in those days, those rumors were hard to believe. Most of them were circulated by word of mouth.

Now, despite the fact that there are plenty of news sources, since it has become possible to trace the point of origin of the information, such rumors have reduced. This time around, the information was given by the leaders of Federations. Yet, one can neither completely accept them as true, nor dismiss them as entirely false.

Since the government and the major employees federations have their own websites, it has become possible for the information to spread to the corners of the world within minutes. Also, retracts and denials too have become equally fast, thus killing the rumours immediately. With a number of other individual websites and blogs too covering the news about Central Government employees, the readers are now able to differentiate between news and rumours.

There is nothing surprising or shocking in the news reports that have now surfaced. A minimum basic pay of Rs.21,000 is an expected one. The recently released Kerala Pay Commission too has recommended the minimum wage at Rs.17,000 (from 01.01.2014 onwards). The National Council has demanded that it be Rs.26,000 per month.

It is a well known fact that the Grade Pay System had been a source of constant irritation. The dual Hierarchy System (Promotional hierarchy and Grade Pay hierarchy) will come to an end. There will not be any more confusion about the promotions that come through MACP.

The Multiplication Factor of 2.86 does sound very low. NC JCM had pressurized the Pay Commission to fix it at 3.7. The 6th Pay Commission had fixed it at 1.86, and also given Grade Pay. Since the DA now stands at 125% (including July 2015 and January 2016), this could end up being substantial.

SBI plans to offer 3% profit to staff

By
igeadmin

India’s largest bank State Bank of India (SBI) on Friday said it plans to offer up to 3 per cent of annual profit to employees as part a talent retention and motivation initiative.

The bank has sought permission from the Finance Ministry in this regard, said Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya.

“If you consider the fact that incentivisation is a good way of ensuring people meet up to whatever are the challenges…they respond to them. So to that extent government allows us to share 1 per cent. We are saying that it is necessary for us to hike that amount to 3 per cent,” she said.

The matter is now before the Finance Minister who will take decision in this regard. The bank has about 2.3 lakh employees.

“The amount that they (senior management and mid-level management) get in the private sector is much higher than they get in the public sector,” she said.

As a result, employees who come up to the higher levels because of their merit and hard work, are easily picked up by private sector, Ms Bhattacharya said. “They have a tendency of leaving and going and this will become more so with newer banks coming in and more players entering the field of banking. Therefore, for meeting competitive pressures, we need to ensure that we are able to remunerate our people better,” she said.

For the fiscal ended March 2015, SBI’s net profit increased 20 per cent to Rs 13,101.57 crore as compared to Rs 10,891.17 crore for the year ended March 2014. SBI group’s consolidated net profit rose 20 per cent to Rs 16,994.30 crore during 2014-15 fiscal as compared to Rs 14,173.77 crore in the previous fiscal.

Besides, SBI is also considering a share-purchase scheme for all employees, irrespective of their posts. The largest public sector lender expects to raise between Rs 800-1,200 crore through this scheme.
