DRAFT RESOLUTION TO BE ADOPTED IN THE PROTEST MEETINGS OF NCCPA AFFILIATES & UNITS ON 30.06.2016

This protest meeting of ________________________ affilitated to National Coordination Committee of Pensioners Association  held on _________2016 is extremely distressed over the most condemnable decision of the Government of India in referring the 7th CPC recommendation concerning option 1 which grants a small relief to the Pensioners to the committee headed by the Secretary Pension, who had suggested to government for its rejection ab initio. By rejecting that recommendation, the Government has proved beyond doubt that it is led by the obnoxious advice tendered by a self serving bureaucracy who are basically anti-poor and anti-worker. The Government must rescind this anti-pensioner decision and ask the Pension Department to allow Option Number 1 to all Pensioners as an alternate fitment formula.

Dragging time to reject modifications by government!

CRUX of News Conference by FM Arun Jaitley! 

Minimum Basic Pay: 18000
Figment factor: 2.57 for pay and pension
Annual increment: 3%
Date of increment: 1st Jan & 1st July
23.6% hike for joint secretary & Director level officers.
14.27% hike for lower employees.
Allowances: Secretaries Committee will further discuss - presently all allowances continue as they are.
No deduction for insurance as recommended
Civil military parity issues will be decided later - This means no immediate decision on Option 1 of refixation of pension to all pre-2016 pensioners recommended by CPC.
DOPT & other Ministries to be asked to decide non-pay, pension issues.
All administrative side recommendations will be reviewed by respective departments and decided.
Committee will look into NPS
Pay hike will generate more demand : FM
Govt salaries now bigger than private sector: FM
Arrears payment this year itself
CHQ comments:
1. Modifications in minimum wage and fitment factor sought are rejected.
2. Allowances are time being allowed; but the Damocles of Sword will be hanging on the heads of employees. This also means no doubling of allowances normally done by CPC this time. Good tactics; make the employees fight to retain the existing allowances so that no need to enhance them!
3. Insurance recovery not accepted is a big relief indeed.
4. Date of increment on 1st January and 1st July is definitely an improvement.
5. Option number 1 for refixation of pension stands referred to Committee & DOPT/Other Ministries. So only 2.57 figment factor to all pre-2016 pensioners.

Totally, much dissatisfactory! What about the leakage of news about basic pay enhancement to 23500 made by ECoS as reported by media? Whether the reports are false or Cabinet overruled ECoS decisions? Finance Minister appeared to swallow something while started to say about ECoS decisions! What is the actual happening?
Comrades! There appears no alternative to strike! Or else the meagre wage increase, lowest in 69 years will come to stay for another 10 more years!
The decision of NJCA likely to be flashed at any time. Let there be a total strike to call the bluff of Government a bluf!

Bonanza? or Shame?

CHQ's initial reaction to Cabinet Clarence of 7th CPC!

Just watching TV Channels like you all - No official details yet available through Staff Side leaders. Honourable FM Arun Jaitley has congratulated the historic rise by 7th CPC in his tweet today! As the news flashes go on it is revealed:
1. No change in MTS minimum basic pay as it is only 18,000! What happened to media hypes and non-stop rumours of 23000?
2. No change in 18,000 means no change will be there in Fitment Factor of 2.57 also. Great!
3. 23% hike in salary including raises in allowances! What is the meaning? No change in retrograde recommendations of 7th CPC.
4. It is evident that the Empowered Committee of Secretaries headed by the Cabinet Secretary has been killing valuable time without applying their minds to the Staff Side Memorandum.
5.Government simply gained more time without caring to sort out the genuine concerns of employees.
6. As far as the Pensioners are concerned, it is not known as to whether the Cabinet accepted the recommendations of Pay Commission to offer Option Number 1 for refixation of pension by notionally adding number of increments in the last pay prior to retirement.
Hope by 5.00 P.M, full details will be available. Let us react at that time!

AIPRPA WRITES TO CABINET SECRETARY AGAINST DROPPING OPTION NUMBER 1 OF 7th CPC RECOMMENDATION FOR PARITY IN PENSION

All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association

(Registered No: 83/2015 under Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act, 1975)

Chennai HQ: 2/44, Muthial Chetty Street, Purasawalkam, Chennai - 600007

New Delhi HQ: First Floor, North Avenue Post Office Building, North Avenue, New Delhi - 110001

No.AIPRPA / 1/6/2016  Dated 09.06.2016

Dear Sir,

Subject:- Acceptance of Option Number 1 of the 7^th CPC Recommendations on Parity of Pension of Pre-2016 Pensioners – regarding.

We are deeply shocked to learn through the Staff Side JCM that the Defense Ministry and the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare are objecting to the implementation of the recommendation made by the 7^th CPC on offering an Option to notionally add the number of increments earned in the last pay scale before retirement for calculating the minimum pension to past pensioners. The objection of the Defense Ministry is shocking as it had recently consented to the grant of One Rank One Pension to its own Pensioners. The objection of the Pensioners Ministry that this recommendation is not feasible due to non-availability of service records of Pensioners is most unjustified.

The non-acceptance of this recommendation will cause a major financial loss to many Pre-2016 Pensioners. It should be borne in mind that the Fifth CPC while evolving the norm of modified parity had mentioned in its Report that further improvements could be brought about by future Pay Commissions. It is after 20 years that 7th CPC taking a step in this direction recommended consideration of number of increments earned in that level while in service. The recommendation cannot be set aside on the plea of non-availability of record.

The issue, therefore, needs reconsideration especially in view of the following points:

i)                    Service Records are protected documents and cannot be destroyed without specific orders of the competent authority; Even if the Service Records of some of the Pensioners were not available, the same can be reconstructed/recast as per prescribed procedures and as per directions of various courts issued from time to time in such cases.

ii)                   All the Past Pensioners cannot be made to suffer heavy financial loss due to some missing records – which can in any way be reconstructed as stated above.

iii)                 5th & 6th Pay Commissions had recommended for grant of Modified Parity to past Pensioners. The orders were implemented on the basis of service records.

iv)                 Recommendations of the 7th CPC in Para 10.1.67 (option 1) for Parity of Pension of Past (Pre-2016) Pensioners were based on legal and Constitutional grounds.

It is, therefore, requested that the Government should reject the opinions of both the Defense Ministry and the DOP&PW as well as the Empowered Committee and approve the recommendation of 7^th CPC regarding option Number 1 to grant Parity to Pre-2016 Pensioners. 

Thanking you Sir,

Yours faithfully,

K.Ragavendran

General Secretary AIPRPA
