OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub :- Fixation of the pay of the pre-revised pay scale of 1S scale granted to candidates appointed as trainees on compassionate grounds in the Seventh Central Pay Commission(7th CPC) — reg.

The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Department’s 0.M.No.14014/02/2012-Estt(D) dated 16.01.2013 containing consolidated instructions on the subject of compassionate appointments. With regard to appointment of candidates not immediately meeting the educational standards as trainees these instructions provide as under:-

“In exceptional circumstances Government may consider recruiting persons not immediately meeting the minimum educational standards. Government may engage them as trainees who will be given the regular pay bands and grade pay only on acquiring the minimum qualification prescribed under the recruitment rules. The emoluments of these trainees, during the period of their training and before they are absorbed in the Government as employees, will be governed by the minimum of the — 1S pay band Rs.4440-7440 without any grade pay. In addition, they will be granted all applicable Allowance, like Dearness Allowances, House Rent Allowance and Transport Allowance at the admissible rates. The same shall be calculated on the minimum -IS pay band without any grade pay. The period spent in the -1S pay band by the future recruits will not be counted as service for any purpose as their regular service will start only after they are placed in the pay band PB-1 or Rs.5200-20200 along with grade pay of Rs.1800.”

2. The 7th CPC has not provided any replacement scale for 1S pay, band of Rs.4440- 7440 without any grade pay which is granted to trainees appointed under the scheme for compassionate appointment. The matter was taken up with the Department of Expenditure and it has now been decided by the Government that Level-1 of the Pay Matrix introduced on implementation of the 7th CPC Report be the replacement for the pre-revised- 1S scale. The pay of those governed by the 1S scale may be revised by using the Fitment Factor of 2.57 for placement in Level-1 in conformity with the Rule, 7 of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016. All pre – revised pay stages lower than pre-revised pay of Rs.7,000 in the pre-revised 1S scale shall not be considered for determining the benefit of bunching, on the same lines as has been clarified by this Department’s 0.M dated 03.08.2017 on application of the benefit on account of bunching.

3. This will be effective from 01.01.2016.

Anomaly in Pay Matrix levels of 7th CPC – PBI

Government issued Gazette Notification , following which the employees will now get the revised pay from their August salaries, but during this situation, many government employees observed many defects in the 7th pay commission pay matrix.

As per the 7th Pay Commission Revised Pay Rules 2016, 7, A (i) “the pay shall be fixed at the immediate next higher Cell in that applicable Level of the Pay Matrix”.

During increment an employee will move one step down in the same level in the pay matrix, incase employee basic pay is 18000, during increment he will be moved down to one level, and he gets increment of 18500, which means he / she get 500 rupees increment in the basic pay.

18000

↓

18500

19100

19700

Incase if we compare with 6^th CPC increment of 3%, then an employee may get difference in the actual increment (more or less than 3%)

Example 1

Basic pay 18000*3% = 540,

= 18000+540=18540

As per 7^th pay commission pay matrix, increment has been fixed at 18500, so employees gets only 2.78 hike in salary

Example 2:

Basic pay 18500*3% = 560,

=18500+560=19060,

As per 7th pay commission pay matrix, increment has been fixed at 19100, so employees gets 3.24 hike in salary

Govt may make key announcement on higher allowances in Budget Session

7th Pay Commission: Govt may make key announcement on higher allowances in Budget Session

The Budget Session could bring smiles on faces of about 47 lakh Central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners as the government may reveal its final stand on higher allowances recommended by the 7th Pay Commission.

Central government employees, who who have been waiting for higher allowances under the 7th Pay Commission since July last year, will keep a close eye on Budget 2017, which is to be presented on February 1. The Budget Session could bring smiles on faces of about 47 lakh Central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners as the government may reveal its final stand on higher allowances recommended by the 7th Pay Commission.

The central government employees are hopeful that despite the model code of conduct, the government is in position to take a call on raising allowances as proposed by the 7th Pay Commission. After Election Commission’s verdict on Budget 2017, central government employees believe that the model code of conduct won’t be a hurdle if the Centre decided to announce something on higher allowances under the 7th Pay Commission.

The Election Commission, in its order, directed the government that the budget cannot have promises that are aimed at the five poll-bound states that could give an electoral edge to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “The Commission hereby directs that in the interest of free and fair elections and in order to maintain level playing field during elections, no State specific schemes shall be announced in the National Budget which may have the effect of influencing the electors of the five poll going States in favour of the ruling party(ies),” said the Election Commission.

What transpired by the order of the Election Commission is that the government could make any announcement on higher allowances as proposed by the 7th Pay Commission since the decision would have a pan-India effect and not necessarily be seen as luring voters of the five poll-bound states. Since government’s tax collections have remained buoyant this year and its revenues are also poised to rise by about Rs 1,00,000 crore in view of the expected collections under the second amnesty scheme (IDS II) — Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, money won’t be a problem to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations completely.

While the government is paying higher basic pay with arrears, effective from January 1, 2016 to its employees on the recommendations of the 7th pay commission, the issue of higher allowances has been referred to the ‘Committee on Allowances’. The government gave extension to the panel till February 22, 2017 to submit the report on higher allowances. Until acceptance of higher allowances, under 7th Pay Commission, the allowances are now paid according to the 6th Pay Commission recommendations.

According to sources, the Implementation Cell in Finance ministry will submit a report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on arrears payment of the Seventh Pay Commission in a single instalment along with the reviews of whole pay commission report.

The entire concept of ‘arrears of pay’ has shot into the lime light as a result of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission that has been released in November, proposed a 23.55% increase in pay, allowances and pension for 4.8 million central government employees and 5.5 million pensioners, which have resulted in a pay hike of central government employees with a retrospective effect from January 1, 2016.

According to reports,The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are expected to add Rs 73,650 crore or 0.65 percent of the GDP in the first year, to the government’s expenditure. In line with the recommendations of the Commission, the government will pay hike salaries as well as pensions.

Also, the recommendations of the Commission come into effect from 1 January, 2016. They will be implemented from 1 April, 2016. Hence, arrears for the three months of January to March 2016 will also have to be paid. This is likely to amount to Rs 18,412.5 crore (Rs 73,650 divided by four). This pushes up the total extra expenditure due to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission to Rs 92,062.5 crore (Rs 73,650 crore plus Rs 18,412.5 crore).

Over and above this, the Railways has requested the government to fund the extra money it would have to spend in order to meet the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission. This is estimated to be Rs 28,450 crore.

The Pay Commission in its reports expected the Railways to meet this extra expenditure out of its own revenues. But with the revenues of the Railways not growing as fast as they were expected to, this may not happen now.

Further, arrears of the first three months of 2016 will also have to be paid by the Railways and this will push the total extra expenditure of the Railways to be funded by the government to Rs 35,562.5 crore (Rs 28,450 crore plus Rs 28,450 crore divided by four).

Hence, the total extra expenditure of the government due to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission will come to Rs 1,27,625 crore (Rs 92,062.5 crore plus Rs 35,562.5 crore).

But, along with this big bonanza, there is also a question that is dwelling in the minds of central government employees. The question arises that how much Income tax is payable on the salary and arrears and is there any relief available?

The tax on hike pay and arrears will be deducted in the next fiscal and sources confirmed that there is no relief available in taxation on pay hikes and arrears as payment will be made in the same fiscal.

According to finance ministry sources, the central government employees will be paid their higher pay and arrears in the fiscal 2016 and arrears that will be paid in a single instalment. The taxation, accordingly will be implemented at the time of payment.

The rate of income tax will be implemented according to the next budget 2016-17.

A salary hike for lakhs of government employees will be delayed by two months by a panel that decides on their salaries, according to sources.

The 7th Pay Commission is not expected to lower or increase the retirement age for 54 lakh government employees, but its final report on salary hike that was to be submitted to the Centre by the end of this month, has been delayed till September 15.

According to sources, there will be no interim report of the Commission, and the new wage salary whenever accepted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Democratic Alliance, will be effective from January 1 next year.

The chairman of the 7th Pay Commission, Justice AK Mathur has asked for a two month extension from the government. The Commission was appointed by the previous UPA regime in February 2014, and was given 18 months to submit its report.

Nearly 90 per cent of government employees work in the armed and paramilitary forces, while others are in railways and postal department.

Sources said that the Commission was hoping that the government would take a call on One Rank One Pension, so they could modulate their own formulation in terms of pay revision.

The Commission is also expected to take a call on lateral entry and performance based pay, which has been discussed for years, but with no real solution.

During the monsoon session of Parliament earlier this month, the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework Statement tabled in Parliament said, that the salary outgo of central government employees will rise 9.56 per cent to Rs. 1,00,619 crore in the current fiscal year.

Next year, it could increase further at 15.79 per cent to nearly Rs. 1.16 lakh crore, with the likely implementation of the 7th Pay Commission award, said the statement tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
