My Memorandum to VIIth Central Pay Commission (CPC)

Namaste-Good Morning

I sent following memorandum to  VIIth CPC through email. Email address is sec-7cpc@nic.inI am placing my suggestions on internet so that every one can see and scrutinise my suggestions and rectify same through a memorandum to VIIth CPC.

1. Salaries

1.1   The considerations on which the minimum salary in case of the lowest Group ‘C’ functionary and the maximum salary in case of a Secretary level officer may be determined and what should be the reasonable ratio between the two.

Suggestion: Band Pay recommended by the VI^th CPC and accepted by the government is recommended to be accepted by the present CPC (VII^th CPC). CPC may not complicate the matter. This would provide matter for discussion by the government and consume time. As far as possible CPC should consider earlier CPCs as base and work forward from that point. Present rate of Dearness Allowance (Dearness Relief for Pensioners) is 100% and may be 130% by the time recommendations of CPC are accepted and implemented. Hence, Starting salary for each of the groups (viz Group A, B, C & D should be present lowest basic salary plus corresponding Grade Pay improved by factor 2.3. For example present Lowest Band Pay is Rs. 4440.00. Corresponding Grade Pay is Rs. 1300.00. This means VI^th CPC accepted recommendation fixed minimum basic pay as Rs. 5740.00. This minimum basic pay should be corrected to take in to account price rise. Hence starting basic pay works out to Rs. 5740X2.3 = Rs. 13202 say Rs. 13000.00 (corrected to nearest 1000 rupees). Allowing 3% of basic pay as an annual increment as per accepted recommendation of VI^th CPC and rounding to nearest Rs. 100.00 it works out to Rs. 400.00 in the lowest segment of pay scale for Group D employees. In the pay scale segments are added to cover higher post in the particular group of employees. While working out pay scales for all 4 groups following aspects are kept in mind. Starting pay accepted wef 01 January 2006 by the government for each of the groups is increased by 130% over lowest band pay (including corresponding Grade Pay), increment rate for Group A is considered as approximately 1% of starting pay at every segment in the pay scale, for Group B it is considered as approximately 1.6% of starting pay of the segment in the pay scale, for Group C it is considered as approximately 2.25% of starting pay of the segment in the pay scale and for Group D it is considered as approximately 3% of starting pay of the segment in the pay scale. Ratio of starting pay of last (highest) segment and first (lowest) segment for every pay scale is different and is 1.68 for Group A, 2.22 for Group B, 3.0 for Group C and 4.12 for Group D. Based on these considerations recommended pay scales are as under:-

1. 106000-1000-111000-1400-118000-1200-124000-1200-130000-1600-138000-1400-145000-1600-153000-1600-161000-1800-170000-1600-178000
2. 48000-800-52000-1000-57000-800-61000-1200-67000-1000-72000-1200-78000-1400-85000-1400-91000-1600-99000-1600-107000
3. 31000-800-35000-800-39000-800-43000-1000-48000-1200-54000-1200-60000-1400-67000-1600-75000-1800-84000-1800-93000
4. 13000-400-15000-600-18000-400-20000-600-23000-800-27000-800-31000-1000-36000-1000-41000-1200-47000-1400-54000

Pension for all:

Changing Indian Famuly

Indian families are well integrated and follow undivided status. This had been realty till middle of 20^th century. After II^nd world war and with aggression from western life style family system started disintegrating. Fuel was added by smaller size on account of population control. Presently triangular or quadrilateral families are considered as the best families at least in urban area. Over 40% of population is in urban area. Therefore, this needs to be considered. In a joint family it was well understood philosophy that the family must take care of every member of the family irrespective of age or member’s earnings. During certain age span every member was expected to earn for family. Earlier to this period or after, every member was required to be supported by earning members. This system worked for thousands of years and there had been no need for the government to think about senior citizens who physically become handicapped due to old age. Today we consider that our nation is a family. Members who take care of the nation are members of committee of ministers. Hence, as on today this committee of ministers must take care of every one irrespective whether earning or not.

Pension system for Government Employees in India:

I have sent my suggestions to VIIth Central Pay Commission (CPC). Click to read.

Pension system is not a new or not established either by British or present Government of India. It is in vogue since hundreds of years. Earlier its form was different. Kings used to provide for work done by their respective commanders and soldiers by giving some land or authorising collection of revenue. Portion of collection was allowed to be retained by the king’s employee and his/her heirs. British India Government introduced Pension system in India after Indian Independence struggle in 1857. This was a reflection of the Pension system then prevailing in Britain. Governors were empowered to sanction pension to employees. Hence pension was totally governed by governors. The pay scales in the government service in India were planned to enable the “native employees” of the British Government to meet their normal subsistence. Practically nothing was left from the pay to make provision for their post-retirement life. The service conditions did not allow the Government employees to earn any extra income by doing business or through any other profession. British Government decided to provide money cover for their post retirement life of her employees. Rules for Pension System thus started in India was finalised by the Indian Pension Act of 1871.British Government authorised Viceroy and Governors for granting pension. This had been kept outside the jurisdiction of all courts.
