Seventh Pay Commission: Delay salary hikes, five states tell Centre : Media Reports

Seventh Pay Commission: Delay salary hikes, five states tell Centre

As per the Media reports, some states have asked the Centre to go slow on implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations. Full report is being presented here.

Seventh Pay Commission: While salary revisions are due in these five states, the states which follow a different wage revision cycle, such as Andhra Pradesh, will not be impacted by the report.

7TH CPC REPORT

AT LEAST five fiscally-stressed states have asked the Centre to go slow on implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations, seeking extra time to be able to absorb similar pay hikes, government officials said.

States usually follow the Central Pay Commission’s recommendations, and, with some modifications, announce roughly similar salary hikes for state government employees.

“There are several states who have approached the Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretary and Niti Aayog, seeking more time in implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission’s report,” said a government official familiar with the matter.

The five states are West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha. The suggested delay will give the states more time to equip themselves with resources to meet higher salary bills.

The Seventh Pay Commission, headed by Justice A K Mathur, submitted its report to the government last month, recommending 23.55 per cent overall hike in pay, allowances and pensions of government employees with effect from January 1, 2016. This means the Centre’s salary bill will increase by Rs 1,02,100 crore in 2016-17.

“Punjab’s finances are under stress and the burden of the Pay Commission’s recommendations will certainly have an impact… Our officials have informally taken up the matter with the Centre,” confirmed Punjab Finance Minister P S Dhindsa.

“Normally they (states) adopt the Centre’s recommendations. This is the normal procedure, but it certainly depends upon their (states’) financial health. Some of the states have not even implemented the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendation,” Justice Mathur told The Indian Express.

“Some of the states may have suggested (delayed implementation) to the government, but I don’t think the Government of India is in a bad position,” he said.

When contacted, Odisha’s Additional Chief Secretary (Finance Department), R Balakrishnan said: “At this stage, we don’t want to comment on it.”

Despite repeated calls and emails, West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra’s office did not comment on the report. In September, the West Bengal government set up its Pay Commission to suggest a salary revision plan. The state commission is expected to follow on the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan said the state was yet to assess the fiscal implication of the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations. The Indian Express could not reach the Tamil Nadu government.

While salary revisions are due in these five states, the states which follow a different wage revision cycle, such as Andhra Pradesh, will not be impacted by the Seventh Pay Commission’s report.

Andhra Pradesh Principal Secretary, Dr P V Ramesh, said the state had revised salaries with effect from April 1, 2015, and the next revision is due only in 2019. “We follow a five-year pay revision cycle, which is not linked with the central cycle. The Seventh Pay Commission, therefore, will not have an impact on us,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Union finance ministry has set up an implementation cell for processing and implementing accepted recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.

7th Pay Commission – Falls Short on Several Counts – The pay is likely to increase 16%, allowances 63% and pensions about 24%. This is less than the overall hike of the Sixth Central Pay Commission.

7th Pay Commission – Falls Short on Several Counts – The pay is likely to increase 16%, allowances 63% and pensions about 24%. This is less than the overall hike of the Sixth Central Pay Commission.

The Seventh Pay Commission has recommended a 23.55% hike in the pay and allowances of government employees. The pay is likely to increase 16%, allowances 63% and pensions about 24%. This is less than the overall hike of the Sixth Central PayCommission. From January 1, these will benefit 4.8 million central government employees and 5.5 million pensioners. The minimum basic pay of central government employees is Rs 18,000 per month while the maximum is Rs 2.25 lakh per month. Its immediate monetary impact is Rs 1.02 lakh crore. This does not include the impact on the finances of the state governments.

7TH CPC REPORT

There are, however, significant policy issues that remain under-addressed. One of the terms of reference of the commission was to “make recommendations on best global practices and its adaptability and relevance to Indian conditions”. This raises several issues concerning meritocracy, attracting and conserving domain knowledge, rationalising the size of the government, and productivity-linked wages.

On meritocracy, the key policy issue relates to compensation for the talented in the private sector. The commission had initiated a survey by IIM Ahmedabad to understand the compensation structure in the government sector relative to the private sector. The results indicated that while at the entry and middle levels the government pays better than the private sector, it falls way behind the latter in compensating the highest echelons. It is argued that government employees enjoy several non-tangible benefits such as job security, inflation-indexed salary and assured prospects of financial progression. It appears that the cost to government (CTG) or total outflow per civilian employee works out to more than three times the received salary. It is higher (3.75 times the salary) in the railways and even more so in the armed forces (four times). Hence, salary hikes are perhaps an extravagant expenditure for a developing country like India. But, this argument ignores the fact that at the top level the government competes for the same talent pool as the private sector. It is impossible for the government to match the pay hikes in the private sector at that level. This makes it mandatory for the government to have a pay commission every 10 years.

On the issue of lateral entry, the commission has, regrettably, dealt with only the lateral entry or re-settlement of the defence forces personnel in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and civil defence organisations. The wider issue of attracting talent at middle levels within the government needs consideration. Our practice and emoluments structure inhibits domain experts from joining the government. This emanates as much from the compensation package as a mindset change. Part of the problem is a “socialist mindset”, in which we seek proportionality between the highest and the lowest without recognising that the principle of equity inhibits a compensation structure for domain skills in relation to market-based conditions.

Administrative reforms would by themselves be insufficient, given the proliferation of regulatory institutions in electricity, telecom, roads and highways, the financial sector, to mention a few. Reinvigorating the bureaucracy by inducing the best market talent needs a mix of both administrative and emoluments changes. It is important to attract experts in many spheres.

The Sixth Pay Commission had made far-reaching recommendations to downsize the government. The outcome was quite nominal. The debate has moved to ‘right sizing’ rather than downsizing. According to estimates, the central government workforce (excluding the defence forces) is likely to expand from 3.31 million in 2013 to 3.55 million by 2016. The police alonewould account for an increase of 120,000 people (50%). However, this expansion is necessary for India’s internal security. Therefore, what is needed is to downsize the workforce from less efficient job areas (perhaps where technology can lead to higher productivity gains) while expanding it in critical domains to improve efficiency in service delivery.

Part of the problem is the pace of reforming important PSUs. The pursuit of the disinvestment programme has not resulted in a significant restructuring of the workforce. Privatisation, in general, is not in favour. Reforming and restructuring the PSUs is the preferred path. But this exercise must look at all aspects of efficiency.

The commission has recommended introducing a performance-related pay (productivity-linked wages) mechanism for all categories of central government employees. The last three commissions had stressed the performance-related pay (PRP) concept as a far better system than the periodic increase in salaries. The commission has also suggested linking bonus payments to productivity (individual, group or organisation). However, unlike the private sector, which is guided by profit motives, the government is guided by social considerations. This makes the measurement of productivity problematic. The commission has recommended phasing out non-performers after 20 years of service.

International experience suggests that countries such as South Korea, Chile, Malaysia and the Philippines have improved government performance and accountability by implementing PRP in their civil services. This has lessons for addressing the low public sector efficiency issue by incentivising productivity improvements.

Mechanically setting up a pay commission every 10 years is a habit we can ill-afford. Hopefully, this will be the last such commission. It is believed that the major issue of seeking dynamic parity between the private and public emolument structures has been addressed over time. The subsisting concerns are attracting domain knowledge, facilitating lateral entry, restructuring the personnel pattern of the government and linking productivity outcomes with the emolument structure. A mechanism needs to be constituted for these more important non-financial issues. Administrative reforms and pay reforms are two sides of the same coin. An integrated view is necessary.

त्रिपुरा के मुख्यमंत्री मात्र 60 हजार रुपये में साल भर का घर-खर्च चलाते हैं।

त्रिपुरा के मुख्यमंत्री मात्र 60 हजार रुपये में साल भर का घर-खर्च चलाते हैं।

मुख्यमंत्री माणिक सरकार पिछले साल विधानसभा चुनाव में अपने नामांकन के बाद अचानक देश भर के अखबारों में चर्चा में आ गए थे। नामांकन के दौरान उन्होंने अपनी संपत्ति का जो हलफनामा दाखिल किया था, उसे एक राष्ट्रीय न्यूज एजेंसी ने फ्लेश कर दिया था। जो शख्स 1998 से लगातार मुख्यमंत्री हो, उसकी निजी चल-अचल संपत्ति अढ़ाई लाख रुपए से भी कम हो, यह बात सियासत के भ्रष्ट कारनामों में साझीदार बने मीडिया के लोगों के लिए भी हैरत की बात थी।

CHIEF MINISTER TRIPURA

लॉन्ड्री के लिए भी सरकारी धोबी नहीं

मुख्यमंत्री के कपड़े धोने के लिए सरकारी धोबी की व्यवस्था नहीं है। माणिक सरकार ने मुख्यमंत्री आवास में आते ही अपनी पत्नी को सुझाव दिया था कि रहने के कमरे का किराया, टेलिफोन, बिजली आदि पर हमारा कोई पैसा खर्च नहीं होगा तो तुम्हें अपने वेतन से योगदान कर इस सरकारी खर्च को कुछ कम करना चाहिए। और रसोई गैस सिलेंडर, लॉन्ड्री (सरकारी आवास के परदे व दूसरे कपड़ों की धुलाई) व दूसरे कई खर्च वह अपने वेतन से वहन करने लगीं, अब वह यह खर्च अपनी पेंशन से उठाती हैं।

पांचाली ने बताया कि एक मुख्यमंत्री की पत्नी का रिक्शे से या पैदल बाजार निकल जाने, खुद सब्जी वगैरह खरीदने जैसी बातें हिंदी अखबारों में भी छपी हैं। यहां के लोगों को तो आप दोनों की जीवन-शैली अब इतना हैरान नहीं करती पर बाहर के लोगों में ऐसी खबरें हैरानी पैदा करती हैं।
उन्हें साधारण जीवन और ईमानदारी में आनंद है।
पांचाली ने कहा "मैं नहीं चाहती थी कि मेरी वजह से मेरे पति पर कोई उंगली उठे"। 

मेरा दफ्तर पास ही था सो पैदल जाती रही, कभी जल्दी हुई तो रिक्शा ले लिया। सचिव पद पर पहुंचने पर जो सरकारी गाड़ी मिली, उसे दूर-दराज के इलाकों के सरकारी दौरों में तो इस्तेमाल किया पर दफ्तर जाने-आने के लिए नहीं। सरकारी नौकरी से रिटायरमेंट के बाद अब सीआईटीयू में महिलाओं के बीच काम करते हुए बाहर रुकना पड़ता है। आशा वर्कर्स के साथ सोती हूं तो उन्हें यह देखकर अच्छा लगता है कि सीएम की पत्नी उनकी तरह ही रहती है। एक कम्युनिस्ट कार्यकर्ता के लिए नैतिकता बड़ा मूल्य है और एक नेता के लिए तो और भी ज्यादा। मात्र 10 प्रतिशत लोगों को फायदा पहुंचाने वाली नई आर्थिक नीतियों और उनसे पैदा हो रहे लालच व भ्रष्टाचार से लड़ाई के लिए वैचारिक प्रतिबद्धता और उससे मिलने वाली नैतिक शक्ति सबसे जरूरी चीजें हैं।

दरअसल, माणिक सरकार पिछले साल विधानसभा चुनाव में अपने नामांकन के बाद अचानक देश भर के अखबारों में चर्चा में आ गए थे। नामांकन के दौरान उन्होंने अपनी संपत्ति का जो हलफनामा दाखिल किया था, उसे एक राष्ट्रीय न्यूज एजेंसी ने फ्लैश कर दिया था। जो शख्स 1998 से लगातार मुख्यमंत्री हो, उसकी निजी चल-अचल संपत्ति ढाई लाख रुपए से भी कम हो, यह बात सियासत के भ्रष्ट कारनामों में साझीदार बने मीडिया के लोगों के लिए भी हैरत की बात थी। करीब ढाई लाख रुपए की इस संपत्ति में उनकी मां अंजलि सरकार से उन्हें मिले एक टिन शेड के घर की करीब 2 लाख 22 हजार रुपए कीमत भी शामिल है। हालांकि, यह मकान भी वह परिवार के दूसरे सदस्यों के लिए छोड़ चुके हैं। इस दंपत्ति के पास न अपना घर है, न कार। कम्युनिस्ट नेताओं को लेकर अक्सर उपेक्षा या दुष्प्रचार करने वाले अखबारों ने ‘देश का सबसे गरीब मुख्यमंत्री’ शीर्षक से उनकी संपत्ति का ब्यौरा प्रकाशित किया। किसी मुख्यमंत्री का वेतन महज 9,200 रुपए मासिक (शायद देश में किसी मुख्यमंत्री का सबसे कम वेतन) हो, जिसे वह अपनी पार्टी भारतीय कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी(माकपा) को दे देता हो और पार्टी उसे पांच हजार रुपए महीना गुजारा भत्ता देती हो, उसका अपना बैंक बैलेंस 10 हजार रुपए से भी कम हो और उसे लगता हो कि उसकी पत्नी की पेंशन और फंड आदि की जमाराशि उसके भविष्य के लिए पर्याप्त से अधिक ही होगी, तो त्रिपुरा से बाहर की जनता का चकित होना स्वाभाविक ही है।

Despite Seventh Pay Commission implementation, no worries on fiscal deficit: Jaitley, Finance Minister

Despite Seventh Pay Commission implementation, no worries on fiscal deficit: Jaitley, Finance Minister

New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said he was not worried about fiscal deficit and government would be able to meet its target despite additional outgo towards the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley

He admitted however that the impact of implementing the pay commission’s recommendations, which will result in an additional annual burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on exchequer, would last for two to three years.

“I am not particularly worried about the fiscal deficit target,” he said while replying to questions on the impact of the recommendations on public finances at the HT Leadership summit.

He further said that besides achieving the target, the government has also been able to improve the quality of fiscal deficit. The government proposes to bring down the fiscal deficit to 3.9 per cent of GDP in 2015-16, 3.5 per cent in 2016-17 and 3 per cent by 2017-18.

“If you achieve a fiscal deficit by either cutting down expenditure or withholding tax returns, then you may strictly have statistical figure, but the quality of the fiscal deficit will always be suspected…we have concentrated on the quality of the fiscal deficit and we will probably be able to maintain it,” he added.

As regards the impact of the Pay Commission award to central government employees, Jaitley said the normal rule is that the expenditure on salary and pension should be 2.5 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product.

The ratio will deteriorate in the initial years with the implementation, he said.

However, “…as the base of the GDP increases, by the third or the fourth year, the spikes come down and (thereafter) you reasonably reach that 2.5 per cent figure back… These pressures will be for the next 2-3 years,” the minister added.

AVERAGE 15% HIKE IN PAY OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

7th CPC

As per the News report published in Media (The Times of India),the 7th Central Pay Commission is likely to submit its final report to finance ministry on November 20 which is due for implementation from January 1, 2016.

More than 48 lakh serving central government employees and 54 lakh pensioners will be impacted by the 7th CPC which is likely to recommend an average hike of 15%, said a source.

The 900-page report is believed to have made suggestions on parity of 36 organized Group A services with the IAS which has so far largely dominated in superior positions in the central government.

The pay panel was constituted in February 2014 and was asked to submit its report within 18 months. However, in August the government gave the panel four months extension to submit its report by December.

Its recommendation will guide how the salary and various allowances of central staff will be revised besides improving their service condition. The report would also impact all the public sector employees and central autonomous bodies which generally make corrections as per the hikes given to the central staff.

Even before the report was finalized there was intense lobbying seen where all the 36 organised Group A services petitioned the commission seeking parity with the IAS and determination of central postings based on merit.

The IAS officers too had sent their individual dissention notes to department of personnel and training and the cabinet secretariat besides the pay panel demanding that their edge and superiority be maintained.

One of the demands of the Group A services is to change the composition of the Civil Services Board which is responsible for central staffing. As of now this is dominated by IAS officers and has no representation from any other service. The pay panel may recommend changes that would ensure level playing field for all officers of Group A services.

Aadhaar number made compulsory in all government service records

Aadhaar number made compulsory

The Central Government had issued the following orders from time to time regarding aading the Aadhaar number in Service Reocords of Central Government Employees.

The Honourable Supreme Court of India had already clarified that Aadhaar numbers cannot be made compulsory for Indian citizens. But the Centre had argued that Aadhaar numbers are necessary for its welfare schemes. The case is pending in the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, without declaring that Aadhaar numbers are compulsory for all, the central government has made it compulsory for enjoying the various benefit schemes that are being offered. This has led to a debate if the centre is indirectly twisting the arms of the citizens to obtain the Aadhaar number.

In the meantime, an order was issued by the finance minister of the Delhi state government on Tuesday. It said that in order to speed up the pension distribution and salary due payments, certain new clauses have been added to Form 5. Since the order issued in this regard by the Ministry of Labour Welfare and Training is applicable to the employees of all the state and union territory governments, the employees of Delhi state government too are bound by it. Until now, the pensions for the employees of Delhi state government were given at the Accounts Auditor’s office of the Ministry of Finance. It has now been made compulsory for all the Delhi state government employees to submit their Aadhaar numbers. Hence, orders have been issued to all the employees to add their Aadhaar numbers to their Service Records.

The Department of Exchequer of the Ministry of Finance had issued an order on June 2, in which, just stopping short of saying that Aadhaar card is compulsory for all, it laid emphasis on possessing the Aadhaar number. That is, as part of the Digital India plan, and for the issuing of digital life certificate to government employees, the government is forced to take certain steps. In order to facilitate these, employees have to now submit their PAN Cards, Aadhaar numbers, email ID and cellphone numbers in their pension book records. A number of accounts department in various offices do not bother to confirm if the employees possess Aadhaar cards. The order says that the offices must insist that the employees present their Aadnaar number when they begin to draw their pensions.

सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए केंद्र ने दिया खुशियों का 'बोनस'...

नई दिल्ली: सरकारी कर्मचारियों को त्यौहार के मौसम में खुशियां का 'बोनस' मिल गया है। केंद्र सरकार ने बोनस की गणना के लिए मासिक वेतन की अधिकतम सीमा 3,500 से बढ़ाकर 7,000 रुपए प्रति महीना करने के प्रस्ताव को मंजूरी दे दी है। इससे संबंधित संशोधन विधेयक संसद में प्रस्तुत किया जाएगा।

बोनस एक्ट 1965 के तहत अब तक 10 हजार रुपये तक का वेतन पाने वाले कर्मचारियों को ही 3500 रुपये तक का बोनस दिए जाने का प्रावधान है लेकिन नए प्रस्ताव के तहत इस सीमा को 10 हजार से बढ़ाकर 21 हजार करने की सिफारिश की गई है। संशोधित प्रावधन को एक अप्रैल 2015 से प्रभावी बनाने का प्रस्ताव है और इसे संसद में रखा जाएगा।

3500 नहीं 7 हज़ार हो गई है सीमा...

यह बोनस कानून उन सभी संस्थानों पर लागू होता है जहां 20 से ज्यादा लोग काम करते हैं। केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल की हुई बैठक के बाद एक सूत्र ने कहा 'केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल ने बोनस आकलन की अधिकतम सीमा 3,500 रुपये से बढ़ाकर 7,000 प्रति महीना किए जाने को लेकर बोनस भुगतान (संशोधन) विधेयक 2015 को मंजूरी दे दी है।'

इसे ऐसे समझा जाए कि फिलहाल किसी कर्मचारी का वेतन 3500 रुपए प्रति महीना से ज्यादा हो तब भी उसके न्यूनतम बोनस की गणना 3,500 रुपए के आधार पर ही की जाती है। लेकिन अब इस सीमा को बढ़ाकर 7 हज़ार रुपए कर दिया गया है।

केंद्रीय श्रमिक संगठन के 2 सितंबर को हड़ताल करने के बाद केंद्र ने बोनस की पात्रता के लिए वेतन सीमा और बोनस आकलन के आधार को बढ़ाने का आश्वासन दिया था।
