The decision to set-up the Committee was taken in view of significant changes recommended by the 7th CPC in the allowances structure and a large number of representations received in this regard from various Staff Associations as well as the apprehensions conveyed by various Ministries / Departments. The 7th CPC had recommended that of a total of 196 Allowances, 52 be abolished altogether and 36 be abolished as separate identities by subsuming them in another allowance.
The Committee took note of all the representations received from various stakeholders on the 7th CPC recommendations on Allowances. Representations and demands for modifications were received in respect of 79 allowances which have been examined in detail by the Committee. In doing so, the Committee interacted with all the members of the Standing Committee of National Council (Staff Side), Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) as well the representatives of various Staff Associations of Railways, Postal employees, Doctors, Nurses, and Department of Atomic Energy.

7th पे कमीशन: लवासा समिति ने भत्तों पर रिपोर्ट सौंपी, इमपावर्ड कमिटी द्वारा रिव्यु के बाद कैबिनेट करेगा फैसला, जून 2017 से वेतन में लागू होने की सम्भावना बनी

नई दिल्ली 29अप्रैल: सांतवे वेतन आयोग द्वारा सिफारिश की गई 'भत्तो की जाँच के लिए गठित लवासा कमिटी' ने लगभग 10 महीने बीत जाने के बाद अपनी रिपोर्ट वितमंत्री अरुण जेटली को सौप दी है. हालांकि केंद्रीय कर्मचारी अभी भी वेतन वृद्धि एवं संशोधित भत्तो के लिए केबिनेट के फैसले का बहुत ही उत्सुकता से इंतजार कर रहे हैं.

7th-cpc-latest-on-hra-cabinet-to-decide-after-empowered-review-hindi

वित्तमंत्री अरुण जेटली को वित्त सचिव अशोक लवासा की अगुवाई वाली भत्तो की जाँच के लिए गठित "लवासा कमिटी' के रिपोर्ट सौपें जाने के बाद अब इस रिपोर्ट की समीक्षा इमपावर्ड कमिटी द्वारा की जायेगी और उसके बाद इसके ही मंत्रिमंडल के समक्ष रखा जाएगा. अशोक लवासा समिति का गठन पिछले साल जून में सरकार द्वारा सातवें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशें लागू किए जाने के बाद किया गया था.


राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त कार्य परिषद (एनजेसीए) के प्रमुख श्री शिवगोपाल मिश्रा का कहना है, क‍ि वित्त मंत्रालय को अंतिम रिपोर्ट सौपें जाने के बाद अब अगली कवायद में कम से कम 15 दिन का समय लग सकता है. अर्थात मामले में अभी कम-से-कम 1 महीने की देरी है. ऐसा कहा जा सकता है की अगर अब सबकुछ सामान्य रहा तो जून, 2017 के वेतन में केंद्रीय कर्मचारी नए दर से भत्ते पा सकेंगे.

हाल में ही आई विभिन्न मीडिया रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, केंद्र सरकार जल्द ही लगभग 55 लाख पेंशनरों के लिए 5000 करोड़ पैकेज का एलान कर सकती है, लेकिन इधर भत्तो की जाँच के लिए गठित "लवासा कमिटी' के रिपोर्ट सौपें जाने के बाद अब देखना है की पहले कर्मचारी की या फिर पहले पेंशनर की झोली में सांतवे वेतन आयोग द्वारा सिफारिश की गई का लाभ मिलता है. 

वेतन समिति ने अभिनय, खजांची की सहायता, साइकिल, मसाला, उड़न दस्ता, हेयर कटिंग, राजभाषा, राजधानी, पोशाक, जूता, शॉर्टहैंड, साबुन, चश्मा, यूनिफार्म, सतर्कता और धुलाई जैसे भत्तों को समाप्त करने या उन्हें समाहित करने का सुक्षव दिया था. जेटली को रिपोर्ट सौंपने के बाद लवासा ने कहा कि समिति ने विभिन्न संबंधित पक्षों द्वारा दिए गए सुझावों पर ध्यान दिया है. 

वेतन आयोग ने 196 भत्तों में से 52 को पूरी तरह समाप्त करने और 36 अन्य को अन्य बड़े भत्तों में समाहित करने का सुक्षाव दिया था। ख़बरों के अनुसार लवासा समिति ने आवास किराया भत्ते (एचआरए) में 8 से 24 प्रतिशत की वद्धि का वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों को ही रखा है । हालांकि केंद्र सरकार ही सरकारी कर्मचारियों को संशोधित भत्तों के भुगतान की तारीख पर अंतिम फैसला करेगी. 

बता दें कि सातवें वेतन आयोग द्वारा केन्द्रीय कर्मचारियों को दिए जाने वाले कई भत्तों को लेकर असमंजस की स्थिति है। नरेंद्र मोदी सरकार ने 2016 में सातवें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों को मंजूरी दी थी और 1 जनवरी 2016 से 7वें वेतन आयोग की रिपोर्ट को लागू किया था। लेकिन, भत्तों के साथ कई मुद्दों पर असहमति होने की वजह से इन सिफारिशें पूरी तरह से लागू नहीं हो पाईं। अब जब अशोक लवासा समिति ने अपनी रिपोर्ट सरकार को सौंप दी है और जल्द ही वित्तमंत्री अरुण जेटली इस रिपोर्ट पर कोई अंतिम फैसला सरकार की ओर से ले लेंगे.

RS.5,000 CRORE PACKAGE FOR CENTRE'S PENSIONERS AFTER MCD POLLS

NEW DELHI: The government is set to clear a Rs 5,000 crore package for pensioners after Sunday’s municipal elections in the capital to address their concerns related to the award of the 7th pay commission for central government employees and seniors.
The revised pension will be taken up by the Union cabinet along with three-four issues related to the pay of central government employees, even as a committee headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa finalises its recommendations for allowances for government employees, including an increase in the house rent allowance (HRA). The panel is expected to submit its recommendations next week but there are indications that the change in allowances may not take place immediately.
“The revised pension scheme has been finalised and the government has postponed a decision due to the code of conduct for Delhi municipal elections. The cabinet may clear it next week,” said a source, who did not wish to be identified.
The pay panel had recommended an increment-linked pension formula along with the option for multiplying the pension based on the six pay commission’s recommendations by 2.57. To quickly implement the suggestions, the government opted for the second option as the increment-linked pension model was seen to be difficult to implement. This has created a situation where those who retired by December 31, 2015 are receiving a lower pension compared to someone who retired a month later. For instance, someone who retired as a secretary before January 2016 is getting a pension of Rs 1.02 lakh compared to Rs 1.12 lakh for someone who retired at the end of the month.
Now, the government is looking at two options — one is to move to a new “modified parity-plus” formula, which links the pension to the salary drawn by someone who is at the same rank. The other is a formula based on the multiple of the sixth pay commission-based pension. A sources said the factor of 2.57 is also being changed to make the pension more attractive. “Basically, there will be two options for a pensioner and the formula that ensures a higher payout to the seniors will be given,” explained a source.

MCD चुनावों के बाद पेंशनरों के लिए जारी होगा 5,000 करोड़ का पैकेज

सिद्धार्थ, नई दिल्ली
दिल्ली में रविवार को होने वाले एमसीडी चुनाव के बाद सरकार पेंशनरों के लिए 5,000 करोड़ रुपये के पैकेज को मंजूरी दे सकती है।सरकार 7वें पे कमिशन से जुड़ी चिंताओं को दूर करते हुए केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों और वरिष्ठ नागरिकों के लिए यह कदम उठाने की तैयारी में है। संशोधित पेंशन के मसले को केंद्रीय कैबिनेट के समक्ष पेश किया जाएगा, इसके अलावा केंद्रीय कर्मियों से जुड़े 3 से 4 अन्य मुद्दों पर भी चर्चा होगी। इससे पहले वित्त सचिव अशोक लवासा की अध्यक्षता वाली कमिटी भी सरकारी एंप्लॉयीज के लिए अलाउंसेज को मंजूरी दे चुकी है। इसमें हाउस रेंट अलाउंस में इजाफा भी शामिल है।

माना जा रहा है कि पैनल की ओर से अगले सप्ताह तक अपनी सिफारिशें सरकार को सौंपी जा सकती हैं। हालांकि इस बात के संकेत हैं कि अलाउंसेज में तत्काल कोई बदलाव नहीं होगा। नाम उजागर न करने की शर्त पर एक सूत्र ने बताया, 'पेंशन में संशोधन की स्कीम फाइनल की जा चुकी है, लेकिन एमसीडी चुनावों के चलते सरकार ने इसे स्थगित कर दिया है। कैबिनेट की ओर से अगले सप्ताह तक इसे मंजूरी दी जा सकती है।'

वेतन आयोग ने सरकार को इंक्रीमेंट लिंक्ड पेंशन फॉर्म्युला दिया था, इसके अलावा छठे पे कमिशन की सिफारिशों में 2.57 गुना इजाफे की बात कही थी। सरकार ने इसमें से दूसरे फॉर्म्युले को मंजूरी दी है। इसके तहत 31 दिसंबर, 2015 को रिटायर होने वाले शख्स को एक महीने बाद रिटायर होने वाले व्यक्ति की तुलना में कम पेंशन मिलेगी। मान लीजिए कोई एंप्लॉयी जनवरी 2016 से पहले सेक्रटरी के पद से रिटायर होता है तो उसे 1.02 लाख रुपये की पेंशन मिलेगी, लेकिन महीने के अंत में रिटायर होने वाले को 1.12 लाख रुपये मिलेंगे।

अब सरकार के पास दो विकल्प है- पहला है 'मोडिफाइड पैरिटी प्लस' फॉर्म्युला, जिसे एक ही रैंक के एंप्लॉयी द्वारा उठाई जा रही सैलरी से जोड़ा जाएगा। वहीं, दूसरा फॉर्म्युला छठे वेतन आयोग की पेंशन में 2.57 गुना इजाफे का है। सूत्र ने बताया कि पेंशन को लेकर फॉर्म्युले हैं, लेकिन जिससे पेंशनर्स को ज्यादा लाभ होगा, उसे मंजूर किया जाएगा।

7th Pay Commission: Who is responsible for the delay in the implementation of 7CPC? Earlier this month, a report said that "Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Arun Jaitley could be held responsible for the delay in the implementation of higher allowance."

7th-pay-commission

New Delhi, April 8: As the financial year had already ended, and the Budget session is about to end by next week but the more than 1 lakh central government employees have not got their answers on higher allowances and pay hike under the 7th Pay Commission. The committee on allowance which was formed by the government had already failed twice to meet the deadline to submit the report and on Thursday the members of the committee had a meeting and some reports suggest that they are likely to submit its report in a week’s time. More than 43 lakh central government employees and 57 lakh pensioners are eagerly waiting for the implementation of 7th Pay Commission, especially for higher allowances. As almost a year had passed and there is no firm decision on the issue, due to which several government employees have held the committee officials responsible for the delay.
In June last year, after the Narendra Modi government had approved the recommendations made under the 7th Pay Commission b retired justice AK Mathur and his team, the government had then formed 7th Pay Commission recommendation committee on a higher allowance and the committee is also responsible for working on the minimum wage of central government employees. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced the formation of Lavasa panel under the chairmanship of Ashok Lavasa, to examine the issues and suggestions raised on an allowance.

Earlier this month, The Sen Times quoted a source saying that “Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Arun Jaitley could be held responsible for the delay in the implementation of higher allowance". ”If reports are to be believed, the Committee on Allowances, headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa, will submit its final reports to Arun Jaitley and once the report is submitted there are chances that final decision will be taken soon.

In Thursday’s meeting, the Committee on Allowances was apprised 14 existing allowances given by Department of Posts, Ministries of Railways and Defence. The panel had sought more details on these allowances as it were left out by the 7th Pay Commission. Some reports claim that the committee has taken a final view on these 14 existing allowances.

Earlier the 7CPC in its findings had recommended the abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 others out of 196 allowances.

WHO GOT US INDEPENDANCE- - - AND YET, THE ANNALS OF HISTORY TELL US INDIANS - -

When B.P. Chakravarti was acting as Governor of West Bengal, Lord Attlee visited India and stayed as his guest for three days at the Raj Bhavan.

Chakravarti asked Attlee about the real grounds for granting independence to India. Specifically, his question was, when the Quit India movement lay in ruins years before 1947, where was the need for the British to leave in such a hurry?

Attlee’s response is most illuminating and important for history:

"In reply Attlee cited several reasons, the most important were the activities of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose which weakened the very foundation of the attachment of the Indian land and naval forces to the British Government.

Towards the end, I asked Lord Attlee about the extent to which the British decision to quit India was influenced by Gandhi’s activities. On hearing this question Attlee’s lips widened in a smile of disdain and he uttered, slowly, putting emphasis on each single letter — “mi-ni-mal.”

The crucial point to note is that thanks to Subhas Bose’s activities, the Indian Armed Forces began to see themselves as defenders of India rather than of the British Empire.

This, more than anything else, was what led to India’s freedom.

This is also the reason why the British Empire disappeared from the face of the earth within an astonishingly short space of twenty years.

Indian soldiers, who were the main prop of the Empire, were no longer willing to fight for the British.

What influenced the British decision was the mutiny of the Indian Navy following the INA trials in 1946.

While the British wanted to try Subhas Bose’s INA as traitors, Indian soldiers saw them as nationalists and patriots.

This scared the British who decided to get out in a hurry.

And yet, do Indians remeber this passage of HISTORY ??

Sadly - NO.  Bala
