Cabinet approves launch of sovereign gold bond

NEW DELHI, SEPT 9:  The Cabinet today approved Gold Bond and Gold Monetisation schemes to reduce the metal’s demand in physical form and fish out idle gold lying with households and other entities.

“It is safer and economically more stable to go under both these schemes,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said after the Cabinet meeting.

The Gold Bond scheme will have an annual cap of 500 grams per person and such bonds would be issued for a period of 5-7 years.

“The Cabinet today cleared the Gold Bond scheme. Under this scheme instead of buying physical gold, Indian residents can buy the gold bonds,” Jaitley said.

The Budget 2015-16 had proposed to launch a Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme to develop a financial asset as an alternative to gold.

The bonds will be issued in 2, 5 and 10 grams of gold or other denominations and the tenor of the bond could be for a minimum of 5-7 years so that it protects investors from medium-term volatility in gold prices, Jaitley said.

As regards the Gold Monetisation Scheme, the minister said people holding idle gold can deposit it in banks for either short, medium or long term.

“This is not a black money immunity scheme and normal taxation laws would be applicable,” Jaitley said when asked if this was an immunity scheme.

He said around 1,000 tonnes of gold is imported annually and people hold such quantum of idle gold just for investment purpose every year.

By taking advantage of gold monetisation scheme, people can deposit idle gold with authorised agencies and take advantage of the price escalation of gold as well as earn interest on the deposit, he said.

Now confusion has arisen, if this will be applicable in case of already sanctioned leave like Child Care Leave, Maternity Leave, Earned Leave etc. In this connection, attention is drawn that in the said order dt. 0l.09.2013 it has also been mentioned that absence will be treated as dies non and salary will not be admissible unless the same is covered by the grounds in Finance Department Memorandum No. 2013-F(P) dt. 06.03.2012 where one such ground is that the provision will not apply in case of employees who had been on leave continuing from before.

Now, to remove the confusion it is clarified that absence will not be treated as dies non and no salary will be deducted or treated to be inadmissible in case of leave like Child Care Leave, Maternity Leave, Earned Leave, etc. sanctioned before the date of issuance of Finance Department's order No.6535-F(P) dated 1.9.2015.

सातवें वेतन अायोग की आहट - कम से कम 2.59 गुणा तो बढ़ेगा ही केद्रीय कर्मिंयों का वेतन

सातवें वेतन आयोग में संभावित वेतन वृद्धि का आकलन करता हुआ एक दैनिक समाचार पत्र:-

सातवें वेतन अायोग की आहट - कम से कम 2.59 गुणा तो बढ़ेगा ही केद्रीय कर्मिंयों का वेतन

नयी दिल्ली‍:- सातवें वेतन आयोग से केंद्र सरकार कर्मचारियों के तनख्वाह दोगुनी होने की संभावना है । आयोग के रिपोर्ट अगस्त में केद्र सरकार को सौंपी जानी थी लेकिन आख‍िरी वक्त पर वेतन आयोग ने एक महीने कार्यकाल बढाने की मांग सरकार से की जो सरकार ने मानते हुए चार महीने तक दे दी है । केंद्र सरकार के 55 लाख कर्मचारियों और लगभग तीस लाख रिटायर्ड कर्मियों को वेतन आयोग का लाभ मिलने वाला है।  नया वेतनमान 1 जनवरी 2016 से लागू होना है। 

सूत्रों के अनुसार सातवें वेतन आयोग में ग्रेड-पे के खत्म किया जा रहा है, जिसके स्थान यर 15 नए स्केल बनाए जा रहे हैं । इन स्केल में वेतनमान रहेंगे और उस पर महंगाई भत्ता देय होया । इसी के अनुसार अन्य सुविधाओं मकान भाड़ा और परिवहन भत्ता दिया जाएगा। 

फिलहाल लागू छठे वेतनमान में कर्मचारियों की 33 साल की सेवा पूरी होने के बाद रिटायरमेंट का फार्मूला लागू है।  इसके पीछे कर्मचारियों को रिटायरमेंट पर साढे़ सोलह महीने के वेतन के बराबर ग्रेच्युटी का भुगतान किया जाना है। इस सेवा के बाद कर्मचारी पूरी पेंशन का हकदार होता है । इसे सातवें वेतनमान में भी लागू किंया जाना प्रस्तावित है। 

कैसे होगा 2.59 गुणा वढ़ोतरी

कर्मचारी इस समय 113% महंगाई भत्ता ले रहे हैं जोकि मूल वेतन में शामिल किया जाना निश्चित है इस तरह दोगुना से अधिक मूल वेतन तो महंगाई भत्ते के समावेश से ही हो जायेगा, इस से कर्मचारियों को मकान किराया भत्ता और परिवहन भत्ता दोगुना मिलने लगेगा। अब देखने बाली बात यह होगी की वेतन आयोग मूल वेतन को कितना बढ़ाता है या फिर फिटमेंट फार्मूला क्या रहता है । अगर पांचवे या छठे वेतन आयोग को ध्यान में रखा जाये तो 40 प्रतिशत के बढ़ोतरी होना लगभग तय है। अगर इस में दिसम्बर में आने वाले महंगाई भत्ते को 6 प्रतिशत के हिसाब से जोड़ा जाये तो कुल महंगाई भत्ता वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशें लागु होने से पहले 119% हो जायेगा। इस प्रकार महंगाई भत्ता और 40% बढोतरी जोड़ें तो फिटमेंट फार्मूला कम से कम 2.59 बनता है । यानि आज की तारीख में जितना मूल वेतन है उसको 2.59 से गुणा करने पर नए वेतनमान में फिटमेंट होगा । इस प्रकार 01.01.2016 में महंगाई भत्ता भी जीरो प्रतिशत हो जायेगा । लेकिन 2.59 फिटमेंट फार्मूला से बढे हुए मकान किराया भत्ता और परिवहन भत्ते से केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों को अवश्य दोगुना से ज्यादा लाभ होगा जो केद्रीय कर्मचारी सरकारी आवास में रह रहे हैं उन्हें सरकारी आवास में रहना महंगा पड़ेगा।
