Seventh Pay Commission’s report to be implemented ahead of states elections in May: TST

Seventh Pay Commission’s report to be implemented ahead of states elections in May

New Delhi: Ahead of the states’ assembly elections in May’ 2016, the Central government may implement the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission after receiving the report of the pay panel within this year, which will benefit 50 lakh central government employees and 56 lakh pensioners including dependents.

“The central government will decide execution time of the pay commission’s proposals after the pay panel submits its report, which will be possible pre-election “special packages” for West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, which are all due for polls by May 2016,” an official of the Finance Ministry said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Just like one rank one pension (OROP) was announced by Modi government on 5th of this month ahead of Bihar Assembly election despite huge financial burden to get majority seats of his party in Bihar Assembly.

OROP announcement not only is pre-election BJP’s special package but also Union cabinet approved six percent increase in DA for central government employees on Wednesday, making the total to 119 percent, on a day the Election Commission announced poll dates for Bihar is a move that would benefit the BJP in Bihar Assembly Election.

Accordingly, JD (U) leader K C Tyagi said, “The Modi government gave a ‘political bribe’ to voters. I welcome the DA hike for central government employees, but, I feel the, timing of the announcement is not correct.”

BJP needs to win most state elections in the next four years to gain control of the Rajya Sabha, where seats are distributed based on the strength of parties in state assemblies.

A defeat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi would harm his chances of consolidating power in parliament, where his reform agenda is being blocked because his party is in the minority in the Rajya Sabha.

So, Modi led BJP government is ready to give any sop to win states assemblies electons.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on August 30, that report of Seventh Pay Commission for central government employees was coming shortly.

However, Chairman of the Seventh Pay Commission, Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur told PTI on August 25, “The Commission will submit its report by the end of September.”

Now, it is expected that recommendations of Seventh Pay Commission, will be implemented before the announcement of West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu states assemblies’ election in May 2016.

The Seventh Pay Commission, which was set up by the UPA government, was required to submit its report by August-end.The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modifications.

The Commission has already completed discussions with various stakeholders, including organisations, federations, groups representing civil employees as well as Defence services and is in the process of finalising its recommendations.

The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are scheduled to come into effect from January 1, 2016.

The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1, 2006, the fifth from January 1, 1996 and the fourth from January 1, 1986.

Deficiencies in writing-reporting of APARs

Deficiencies in writing/reporting of APARs:  CBDT's instructions

F.No. HRD/PM/444/2014-15(Part-II)/4479

Government of India

Ministry of Finance

Central board of Direct Taxes

Directorate of Income Tax (HRD)

New Delhi, Dated the 10th Sep, 2015

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Deficiencies in writing/reporting of APARs

On perusal of the APARs received in this Directorate from the Cadre Controlling Authorities (CCAs), a number of deficiencies have been observed. The commonly found deficiencies are as follows: 

i. The Officers are not filling the first column of the APAR i.e. 'Time Period which the report does not cover if any, and reasons thereof ' properly. This column should give exact period which is not covered by APAR along with specific reasons. Merely mentioning 'period less than 90 days' is not sufficient,

ii. Many a times the APARs are not certified by the Head of the Department.

iii. While recommending "No Report Certificates" for a given period, Civil Code (Civil List No.) of the officer is usually not mentioned.

iv. Ring of the Annual Property Return column is left blank or mentioned as NA.

v. Column for mentioning, date of last prescribed medical examination for officers 40 years of age and above is often left blank.

vi. The column relating to completion of APARs of the subordinate officers/ officials within stipulated time, is left blank or mentioned as NA.

vii. The integrity column needs to be filled with proper wording/ remarks by the Reporting Officer.

viii. There are calculation errors in overall grading given by the Reporting Officers. The average of the averages taken out, is not correct.

ix. While Appraising & Reviewing, grades are not being assigned in whole numbers as recommended, thereby leading to inaccurate calculation of grade,

x. The Reporting and the Reviewing Officers are only putting their signatures on APAR while their name and designation columns are left blank.

xi, In many cases, Section III (6) of APARs which refers to 'Pen Picture and performance improvements comments of the reporting authority is left blank. Also the attitude of the officer reported upon towards subordinates & Colleagues from SC, ST & other weaker sections and women is not commented upon by the Reporting Officer.

xii. The Reviewing Officers are not filling the column regarding their agreement of the assessment made by the Reporting Officers. Also, after downgrading / upgrading the grading given by the Reporting Officer, the Reviewing Officers are not specifying any reasons at the column provided for such downgradation / upgradation.

xiii. As per DOP&T, order F. No 21011/16/2014- ESH (A) dated 15.12.2014 while writing APAR's if paper strips are typed, cut to size and pasted in appropriate columns of APAR is done, either by the officers reported upon or by the reporting & reviewing authorities without self attestation then such an act would be liable to tampering & misuse and as such it should not be resorted to under any circumstances.

xiv. The APARS of Group 'A' officers below the rank of CIT are being sent to the 0/o Pr. DGIT (HRD) in duplicate, which is not proper. One APAR needs to be sent and other needs to be retained at the CCA level.

2.  It may please be noted that the last date for submitting duly reported/reviewed APAR for the reporting year 2014-15 to the Directorate of HRD is 15th Sep 2015 and a very large number of APARS are still pending to be received. This in turn adversely affects compilation of APARs for promotions etc. It is therefore, being reiterated, that the pending APARs may please be sent by the prescribed date.

3. This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.

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.
