Dr. Manmohan Singh
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
New Delhi – 110001
Sir,
Sub: - Inclusion
of Gramin Dak Sevaks of Department of Posts under the purview of the proposed
Seventh Pay Commission – regarding.
With due respect and regards, we
put forth the following for your kind consideration and favourable decision
please.
In the Department of Posts, the
50% of the total work force are called as Gramin Dak Sevaks and they are
continuously being discriminated by separate committees formed for the
consideration of their wages and service conditions.
The Supreme Court of India
declared that these Gramin Dak Sevaks are holder of civil posts and it is a
well settled law. Despite the judgment, the same civil servant status has not
been accorded yet to them except a part in case of disciplinary proceedings.
The Fourth Central Pay Commission
categorically emphasized that, the GDS issues shall be brought under the purview
of Pay Commissions. But still separate committees are constituted.
The last committee constituted at
the time of Sixth Central Pay Commission caused clear injustice to these
employees and they are deprived all the service benefits at par with civil servants
even though the law of the land declared and settled them as the holder of the
civil posts.
Under these circumstances, we most
humbly request the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to consider our request and
cause orders to include the GDS of the Department of Posts under the terms of
reference of the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
With profound
regards,
Yours sincerely,

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF
ACTION
3rd October, 2013
Call from World Federation of Trade
Unions
Dear Comrades,
As you are aware, the World Federation of Trade Union
was founded in an international conference of Trade Unions held at Paris from 3rd
October, to 8th October, 1945.
At the 16th Conference of WFTU held at Athens, Greece in
April, 2011, it was decided to observe 3rd October, every year (the
foundation day of WFTU) as International day of Action. In 2012, we observed the day raising the
demand for food, water, health, education and housing for all.
Food: 850 million people in the world are undernourished. India is on the tgop of nations with largest
member of cases of malnutrition.
Water: Privatisation of water, has caused havoc as it has become one of the
most profitable enterprise. The people’s
right to water(without which life cannot exist) is trampled upon in many
countries in favour of Corporate profits.
Education: Education has become a commercial activity after the
advent of neo liberal economic policies.
The campaign for free education for all must be made intensive.
Health: Health is an extremely lucrative business. Govt. of India over the years since 1991 has
withdrawn itself from this sector making private enterprises to thrive
increasing the agony of the people.
Housing: A large number of our population has no dwelling
place today. There is no governmental
initiative in the matter in most of the countries. The poor people all over the world are left
high and dry.
WFTU
has now called upon the workers of the world to reiterate these demands,
observe 3rd October, as International day of Action by holding rallies,
demonstration etc. All employees may be
requested to wear the badge depicting the five demands mentioned above on
3.10,2013. A specimen of the badge is appended hereunder.
With
greetings,
Yours

PRESS STATEMENT of confederation
CONFEDERATION
OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
(Central Head
Quarters)
1st
Floor, North Avenue Post office Building, New Delhi - 110001
Dated – 25.09.2013
PRESS STATEMENT
Central Government has announced
the constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission. Confederation of
Central Government Employees & Workers has been raising this demand before
the Government right from 2011 onwards and has conducted series of agitational
programmes including Parliament March and one day nationwide strike on 12th
December 2012.
While welcoming the decision of
the Government, we are disappointed to note that our demand for five years wage
revision w.e.f. 01.01.2011 and merger of DA has not been considered favourably
by the Government. When the public sector employees are given five years wage revision
and the erosion in real wages has reached an all time high due to steep price rise,
grant of five year wage revision to Central Government employees is fully
justified. Similarly every time the Government appointed pay commission merger
of DA was also granted. This time Government has not acceded the demand for
merger of DA with pay now. Thus by appointing pay commission employees will not
be getting any financial benefit now. The demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak
Sevaks under the purview of the 7th CPC and grant of merger of DA to
GDS is also pending.
In view of the above, the
National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and
workers urge upon the Government to consider the above demands also favourably
failing which the confederation shall be constrained go for further agitational
programmes.

Government announces Seventh Pay Commission for central employees
NEW DELHI: Ahead of elections, the government on Wednesday announced constitution of the Seventh Pay Commission, which will go into the salaries, allowances and pensions of about 80 lakh of its employees and pensioners.
"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the constitution of the 7th Pay Commission. Its recommendations are likely to be implemented with effect from January 1, 2016", finance minister P Chidambaram said in a statement.
The setting up of the Commission, whose recommendations will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees, including those in defence and railways, and about 30 lakh pensioners, comes ahead of the assembly elections in 5 states in November and the general elections next year.
The government constitutes Pay Commission almost every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modification.
As the Commission takes about two years to prepare its recommendations, the award of the seventh pay panel is likely to be implemented from January 1, 2016, Chidambaram said.
The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented from January 1, 2006, fifth from January 1, 1996 and fourth from January 1, 1986.
The names of the chairperson and members of the 7th Pay Commission and its terms of reference will be finalized shortly after consultation with major stakeholders, Chidambaram said.

Bonus Ceiling Enhanced for Gramin Dak Sevaks
Enhancement of ceiling for calculation of ex-gratia bonus payable to Gramin Dak Sevaks
The Union Cabinet approved the
proposal of the Department of Posts to enhance the ceiling for
calculation of ex-gratia bonus payable to Gramin Dak Sevaks from Rs.
2,500/- to Rs.3,500/- same as that prescribed for the regular
departmental employees. The decision would be applicable with
prospective effect that is from the accounting year 2012-13 payable in
2013-14.
The increase in bonus calculation
ceiling will restore the long established parity between regular
departmental employees and Gramin Dak Sevaks on the issue of payment of
bonus. This decision will benefit 2.63 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks working in
the Department of Posts, who play a very vital role in providing
postal, financial and insurance services in the rural, hilly and tribal
areas of the country.

PENSION BILL OR PENSIONLESS BILL?
Finally
the ruling Congress party and the main opposition Party BJP joined together and
passed the Pension Fund Regulatory and
Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill in the Parliament. In the year 1982 on 17th
December, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court consisting of Justice (s)
Y. B. Chandrachud, V. D. Tulzapurkar, O. Chinnappa Reddy. D. A. Desai and
Bahrul Islam delivered the historic judgment on pension in the D. S. Nakara
case, which declared as follows:
“(i)
Pension is neither a bounty nor a matter of grace depending upon the sweet will
of the employer and it is Fundamental right (ii) Pension is not an ex-gratia
payment, but it is payment for past service rendered (iii) It is a social
welfare measure rendering socio-economic justice to those who in the heyday of
their life ceaselessly toiled for the employer on an assurance that in their
old age they would not be left in lurch.”
After
30 years, the bill passed by Parliament categorically proclaims that the
Contributory Pension Scheme introduced w.e.f 01.01.2004 will not give any
guarantee for a minimum pension of 50% of the pay drawn at the time of
retirement of the employee. Nor does it provide for the protection of the
family members in the form of family pension in the event of death. New pension
is going to make the social security uncertain and dependent on market forces.
Government compulsorily imposed the scheme on one section of the employees in a
most discriminatory manner, inspite of the fact that such scheme had been a
failure in many countries including Chile, U K and even in USA. In USA the
entire pension wealth (fund) has been wiped out leaving no pension due to the
economic recession and share market crash. In Argentine the contributory scheme
which was introduced at the instance of IMF was replaced with the defined
benefit pension scheme. In majority of the countries “pay as you go” is the
system of pension.
Government
introduced the contributory pension scheme on the specious plea that the out
flow on pension had been increasing year by year and is likely to cross the
wage bill. In fact, by making the pension contributory, the Government
expenditure on this score is not going to get reduced for the next three
decades because of the reason that as per the new pension scheme, the
Government is to contribute the same amount to the pension fund of each
employee coupled with the stipulation that for the existing Central Government
Employees who were in service prior to 01.01.2004 Government is duty bound to
make payment of statutory pension. The Contribution collected from the
employees who are recruited after 01.01.2004 is to be managed by mutual fund
operators for investment in stock market and thus it is the vagaries of the
stock market which will determine the quantum of pension or in other words
annuity which would be cost-indexed and market-oriented.
The
decision of the Government to allow FDI in pension fund operations has made the
real intention of the PFRDA bill crystal clear. It is now clear that the
decision behind the contributory pension scheme is the pressure imposed by
imperialist powers and corporate houses and more specifically IMF.
NFPE and Confederation has opposed the new Pension Scheme and the PFRDA Bill from the very beginning and organized series of agitational programmes against it demanding withdrawal of the scheme and the PFRDA bill. We shall continue our opposition and struggle and demand for reversion of the scheme. Let us intensify our struggle against the neo-liberal economic policies of the Government jointly with all those forces which supported our cause inside the Parliament and outside. Let us identify who are our real friends and foes.

Govt approves 10 pc DA hike, to benefit 80 lakh
The
government on Friday approved a proposal to hike dearness allowance to
90 percent from existing 80 percent, a move that would benefit about 50
lakh central government employees and 30 lakh pensioners.
"The Union Cabinet approved the proposal to increase dearness allowance to 90 per cent at its meeting here. The hike would be effective from July 1, this year," a source said.
According to the source, the increase in DA to 90 percent would result in additional annual expenditure of Rs 10,879 crore.
There would be additional burden of Rs 6,297 crore on exchequer during 2013-14 on account of this hike in DA.
This is a double digit hike in DA after about three years. It was last in September, 2010, that the government had announced a hike of 10 percent to be given with effect from 1st July 2010.
DA was hiked to 80 percent from 72 percent in April, 2013, effective from January 1, this year.
As per the practice, the government uses CPI-IW data for past 12 months to arrive at a number for the purpose of any DA hike.
The retail inflation for industrial workers between July, 2012 and June 2013 was used to compute the increase in DA.

Delhi on 19.9.2013 to review the preparation made for the strike Ballot

2013. The meeting took note of the fact that certain states and some
organisations have not yet initiated steps to conduct the programme with
full participation of the members. It was also reported at the meeting
that some of the affiliates have practical problem in adhering to the
dates and the house was of the unanimous opinion that the date might be
deferred. Accordingly the dates for strike ballot have now been shifted
to 11th, 12th and 13th November, 2013
(Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and the Confederation National
Secretariat members will undertake intensive campaign programmes to
mobilise the rank and file of the membership. The names of Comrades who

State Secretaries and the affiliated organisations are requested to get
in touch with the concerned Secretariat members to fix up the
dates. The National Secretariat will meet at Mumbai on 15th November, 2013 to review the strike ballot campaign programme and chalk out future course of action.

The
Government on recognition of the serious economic crisis that engulfed
the Indian economy has decided to abide by the IMF prescription of
imposing austerity measures. They have now imposed a total ban on
recruitment, Creation of Posts and abolition of the posts which lie
vacant for more than a year and such other anti-people measures. We
should react to this wanton attack immediately and the Secretariat has
decided to call uypon all the affiliates and State Committees to
organise a massive demonstration on 25th September, 2013. At all work places and at all important centres.

The Union cabinet will consider the proposal on raising the dearness allowance to 90% , at its meeting on Friday
Ahead of the festive season, the UPA
government is set to hike the dearness allowance (DA) of its employees
by 10%, a move that will benefit almost 8 million people by boosting
their purchasing power.
The Union cabinet will consider a
proposal on the raising the allowance, which is a proportion of basic
pay, at its meeting on Friday.
In what can be seen as major sop for a
large section of aam aadmi, this will be the second DA hike in a
financial year. More importantly, also ahead of the 2014 general
elections.
The Centre’s decision will not only
directly benefit 5 million employees and 3 million pensioners, but also
help infuse more money into the economy.
Top government sources said the new DA rates would be applicable from July 1.
The sources further said the exact
amount of DA, as a proportion of basic pay, works out to over 90% after
factoring in the revised All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial
Workers (CPI-IW) for June.
According to revised data released on
August 30, retail inflation for factory workers for June stood at
11.63%, higher than the provisional estimate of 11.06% for the month
released on July 31.
The double-digit hike in DA would come
after three years. It was last in September, 2010, that the government
had announced a hike of 10%.
The DA was hiked to 80% from 72% in April 2013, effective from January 1, this year.
As per practice, the government uses
CPI-IW data for past 12 months or a year to arrive at a number for the
purpose of any DA hike. Thus, the retail inflation for industrial
workers between July 2012 and June 2013 will be used to take a final
decision.

Merger Of 50% DA With Pay : Resolution adopted in INTUC Conference
Merger Of 50% DA With Pay
The 30th Plenary Session of Indian
National Trade Union Congress INTUC is being held in Raipur from
6-9-2013 to 9-9-2013 is concluded today. There are 4 Resolutions which
are considered to be very important are adopted in this Conference.One
of the four main resolution is Merger of 50% DA with Pay for central
government employees. So the INTUC urges the central government to
consider the demand and accord sanction for merging 50% DA with pay. The Resolution
On Merger Of 50% DA With Pay which has been adopted in 30th Plenary
Session of INTUC held in Raipur from 6-9-2013 to 9-9-2013 is given
below
Resolution On Merger Of 50% DA With Pay
The Wage structure revision for Central
Government employees had been enquired into by the successive pay
Commission appointed by the Government of India during the past decades
and gave their reports. The Government had considered the reports and
decided for implementation with certain changes and improvements.
The previous pay Commissions
(3rd,4th,5thand 6th ) have ,by and large, covered the aspects of the
principle of wage determination . But however the job contents,
remuneration commensuration with the nature of duties and
responsibilities have not been taken into consideration by the pay
Commissions while determining the revised pay structure, consequently
the railway men have been put into disadvantage.
The 5th CPC had recommended that the DA
must be merged with pay and treated as pay for computing all allowance
as and when the percentage of dearness compensation exceeds 50%.
Accordingly even before the setting up of 6th CPC, the DA of 50% was
merged with pay.
Presently, the dearness compensation is
80% as on 1st January, 2013, while the DA had crossed 50% of pay as on
1st January, 2011.The demand for merger of DA to partially compensate
the erosion in the real wages was first mooted by the Gadgil Committee
in the 2nd pay Commission period. The 3rd CPC had recommended such
merger when the cost of living Index crosses over 272 points i.e. 72
points over and above the base index adopted for the pay revision. In
other words, the recommendation of the 3rd CPC was to merge the DA when
it crossed 36%. The Government in the national Council JCM at the time
of negotiation had initially agreed to merge 60% DA and later the whole
of the DA before the 4th CPC was set up. The 5th CPC had merged 98%of DA
with pay.
As the DA already stood at 80% of Pay
and another installment is expected to be granted w.e.f. July, 2013
which may cross 90%,it is necessary that the Government takes steps to
merge 50%DA with pay for all purposes for the year 2013 for ensuring
compensation to the erosion of value of real wage of government
employees.
The Plenary Session of INTUC therefore
urges upon the Government of India to consider the demand and accord
sanction for merging DA component i.e. 50% of DA with pay for all
purposeFriday, September 6, 2013

GDS BONUS ISSUE - INFORMATION
Cabinet
is likely to approve GDS bonus ceiling for Rs.3500- in the ensuing meeting:
After clearance
of the Department’s proposal of Rs.3500- bonus ceiling to GDS by the
Ministry of Finance during 3rd week of August, the process for cabinet approval
has started and a note has been submitted by the Department to the Min. of
Finance to submit for further approval in the Cabinet meeting. It may be
expected in the ensuing meeting of the Cabinet.
Comrades,
It is always an
admitted fact that every time the GDS issues are resolved with the continuous
efforts of NFPE & JCA and at times by Confederation, none can claim on
their own or for their own. One can’t deny that the Committee (Shri Alok Saxena
Committee) for reviewing the GDS bonus issue only after 12.12.12 one day
strike. It is the issue of 2.7 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks and not limited to a
section or a class which claims for their fancy. Information published or
conversant to the members explicitly depends upon the context and source but
not on the mere exposure. We are not interested to make it another issue to
create confusion and things left to the diplomacy of the so called claimants.
However, all
details will be published on receipt of the information obviously.

Dearness allowance from July 2013 - Latest News
It is now confirmed that the rate of
Dearness Allowance from July 2013 will be increased by 10% according to
the AICPIN average for the past twelve months starting from July 2012 to
June 2013.The Consumer Price Index Number for the month of June 2013 is
released on 31st July 2013 by Labour Bureau, Ministry of Labour and
Employment in its Official site.
All the central government employees
will not be interested to know about the CPI numbers if it has no role
in the calculation to obtain the rate of dearness allowance paid to
central government employees. Since the dearness allowance is paid to
central government employees to compensate the price rise, the AICPI
numbers is the only factor to measure the increase in the prices of
essential commodities. So the AICPIN for Industrial Workers is obviously
inevitable part of the formula prescribed for calculating the rate of
dearness allowance to be paid to central government employees.
It is not only for central government
employees, but all the state government employees have also been paid
the same rate of dearness allowance. Once it is declared by the central
government, all the state governments have no other go than to fallow
it. That is why the AICPIN for Industrial workers has been watched
keenly by all the central Government Employees and state government
employees every month.
To calculate the rate of Dearness Allowance from July 2013, we need AICPIN for Industrial Workers for the past twelve months
The AICPIN – IW for the past 12 months from July 2012 to June 2013

The Formula to calculate the DA | |
= ( Avg of AICPIN for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100 /115.76 | |
The rate of DA from July 2013 | = (220.67-115.76)*100/115.76 |
= 90.618 (As per the instruction fraction if any to be ignored) |
So the rate of DA to be paid to
central government employees from 1st July 2013 will be 90%. It is
expected that formal announcement on this will be made by government
after the decision taken by the cabinet committee on economic affairs in
its meeting by the first week of September 2013 positively.
