Sub: Government decision on Allowances - Reg
Shri Shivgopal Mishra,
When
we seen the cabinet decision on allowances day before yesterday, naturally the
employees were on upset mood as the Government came out with a minimal changes
here and there.
But
when seen your press release in the capacity of Secretary Staff Side National
Council JCM welcoming the decision taken by the Union Cabinet we all were really
shocked.
It
is sorry to say that for substantiating your decision to welcome you have been
told lies in your Press release. You mentioned that welcomed the decision of the
Union Cabinet for “restoring rates of
HRA @ 10%, 20% and 30% to the Central Government Employees covered from levels
1 to 3.”
With all due
respect NFAEE would like to mention here that your statement is not based on the
facts and figure and just to misguide the 34 lakhs Central Government Employees.
In fact out of the 120 stages of Levels 1 to 3 a meager of 15 stages (8 in the
level 1, 5 in level 2 and 2 in level 3) only get more than 24%, 16% & 8% HRA
that too not 30%, 20% & 10% as you claimed in the press release. Only those
employees in the pay of Rs18000 as on 01.07.2017 shall get 30%, 20% and 8% as
per the entitlement based on the categorization of the cities. Even an incumbent
in the level 1 got an increment of 3% shall not eligible for 30%, 20% and 10%
of HRA. It means the employees who joined in the level 1 after 1st January
2017 and having basic pay as Rs 1800 only will get 30%, 20% and 8# of HRA. Thus the number beneficiaries will not be even
thousands, where the question of 7.5 lakhs employees gets the benefits? All
others in the above said 15 stages of levels 1 to 3 will get HRA little more
than 24%, 16% & 8% but less than 30%, 20% and 8%.
The below
given chart will expose your claim and will prove it is wrong:

Form the
above chart it is crystal clear that those employees who joined in the service
just 8 year before only entitled at a higher rate of HRA than 24%, 16% and 8%
that too not 30%, 20% and 10% as you claimed in the Press Release. The above
chart also showing that at the stage of 9, 6 and 3 of the Pay Matrix levels 1,
2 and 3 respectively the HRA shall be more than 5400, 3600 and 1800 based on
24%, 16% and 8%.
Further you
extended thanks to the Government for
restoring 34 allowances. Whereas the Government Press release claimed
that Government has decided not to
abolish 12 of the 53 allowances which were recommended to be abolished by the 7th
CPC and 3 of the 37 allowances recommended to be subsumed to continue as separate.
When the Government them was not claiming that they have restored 12 of the 53
allowances abolished and 3 0f the 37 allowances recommended to subsumed has
been restored. That means altogether 15 Allowances has been restored. Then from
where the restoration of 34 Allowances came?
Thus
once again the NDA Government betrayed the entire Central Government Employees
by denying the HRA at the existing rate of 30%/20%/10% with effect from
01.01.2016. They denied the existing rate as well as the arrears from 1st
June 2016 by the decision to implement the revised rate from01.07.2017.
The Government
has not considered the suggestions by the staff side on various other
Allowances and facilities and Government came up with cosmetic changes in the
recommendations of the Pay Commission.
Further the
assurance given by the Cabinet Ministers regarding minimum Pay and Fitment
Formula is also not considered by the Government till date.
Even the
only acceptable recommendation by the Pay Commission to regulate the pension
who retired prior to 1st June 2016 which was accepted by the Government
while issuing the notification in the year 2016 later it has been replaced the
pension fixation formula by adopting new one which is not beneficiary to the pensioners.
No decision
on NPS has been taken to ensure minimum pension or other demands submitted by the
Staff side.
Under this circumstance National Federation
of Atomic Energy Employees NFAEE feels the hurry burry shown by you to issue a
press release without discussing either among the staff side members of the
National Council (JCM) or with the NJCA leadership in which you happened to be the
convener to welcome the Government strongly was not in the spirit of broader
unity and to help the Government who failed to fulfill the wishes of the employees
across the board.
NFAEE
strongly condemn this attitude of Secretary Staff Side, National Council (JCM) and
demands to withdraw the press release and stand with the united work force of the
Central Government Employees.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely,
(Jayaraj KV)
