Dear Comrades,
We send herewith a copy of the NJCA
Circular letter dated 27th May, 2016. The same is self-explanatory. You
could see there-from that the Government might not positively react to
the demands placed by the NJCA over the recommendations of the 7th CPC.
Simply raising the minimum wage by a few rupees without any
consequential change in the fitment formula or pay matrix will not bring
about any tangible benefit. The revision of the minimum wage along
would benefit only those who are likely to be recruited to the cadre of
MTS in future. As you are aware, the 7th CPC had not accepted any demand
of the employees. It is beset with dissenting notes in many chapters.
The fight between the personnel in the organized Group A Services and
all India Services had triggered such dissenting note on the part of the
Member who retired from the IAS. A significant section of the
Secretaries to various Departments, we were told, were against any
revision over the recommendations of the 7th CPC. In any case, we are to
await the outcome of the discussions at the NJCA meeting scheduled to
be held on 3rd June, at New Delhi.
Coming to the issues pertaining to the
Pensioners, we must recall that the 7th CPC had rejected almost all the
demands unanimously placed before them by the Pensioners organizations.
While tendering oral evidence the Staff Side had inter alia pressed for
the parity for the past pensioners before the Commission, especially in
the background of the granting of one rank one pension to the Defence
Personnel. It is ironic to note that the Defence Ministry which had
piloted the demand of the Ex-service men for one rank one pension
i.e.parity between the past and present pensioners has now taken a stand
against such parity for civil servants. No personnel either in the
organized Group A services or All India Services would stand benefited
by the present recommendation of the 7th CPC except a few as most of
them were in receipt of almost time bound promotion in their career. The
modified parity one must recall has only benefited the upper echelons
in the bureaucracy. One can understand that the Govt. refusing to make
improvements over the suggestion made by a Commission. But it must be
most intolerable when the Govt. refuses to implement a recommendation
which was the outcome of a persistent presentation jointly by almost all
the beneficiaries. The plea advanced for non acceptance of the
recommendation is the alleged impracticability due to the non
availability of the relevant records. Should the pensioner suffer for
the reason that the concerned department of the Government has not kept
the records properly? It is the most callous approach and must be
resisted with all the force that we can command. We cannot afford to
have this situation to develop. We are certain that most of the
individual pensioners would be able to provide the requisite information
needed to consider the first option in the pension fixation to the
concerned department and most of the Departments would be able to verify
the same with the available documents with them. We must however await
the decision of the NJCA in the matter.
In the meantime, all affiliates will
take such action needed to mobilize the pensioners and undertake a
serious educational campaign.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
KKN.Kutty.
