Bihar Results To Push Seventh Pay Commission Implementation

New Delhi: With the BJP-led NDA getting trounced in Bihar assembly polls, is likely to push the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission in April, a move seen by many as a major sop ahead of five state elections in May.

In Bihar, the Grand Alliance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal-United, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress won 178 seats in the 243-member assembly.

The Prime Minister Modi’s party carried out the same campaign strategy as it had done during the disastrous February Delhi polls, ironically, with the same humiliating results.

After it swept the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP faced a major defeat in Delhi and Bihar State elections, party strategists say the party paid a heavy price because of government employees’ worries with inflation.

The Narendra Modi government’s anti-government employees’ decisions also upset government employees, a central government employees’ union leader said.

“We realised that government employees are upset as it is becoming difficult for them to manage their household expenses with the high inflation rate. They were clearly against us not to merge 50 percent dearness allowance with basic pay before implementation of Seventh Pay Commission,” a central minister told us.

“There was a sense of insecurity among government employee who feared the media rumours that the pay commission is planning to recommend the retirement age of government employees as the completion of 33 years of service, or at the age of 58, whichever comes first. We want to prove the false media rumours to implement pay commission soon,” said the minister.

Accordingly, Central government will implement the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission in April after fund allocation in budget 2016-17, which will be possible pre-election “special packages” for Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Puducherry, which are all due for polls by 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.

Govt to revise small savings rate by end of this month

The Centre is likely to reduce the interest rates on small savings schemes by the end of this month with a view to aligning them with the market rates. 

"The government will take a decision on reducing small savings rate by the end of this month," a Finance Ministry official said. 

The ministry in September had announced its intention to review interest rates on small savings, which includes Post office savings and Public Provident Fund ( PPF), after bankers said high rates on such schemes run by the government make fixed deposits of banks uncompetitive. 

The government may leave the interest rates on Senior Citizen's Savings Scheme and Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts unchanged. 

With small saving deposits commanding a rate of 8.7-9.3 per cent, banks have been reluctant to transmit the entire policy rate reduction by the RBI to borrowers. 

The median base lending rates of banks have come down by about 60-70 bps despite extremely easy liquidity conditions, which is a fraction of the 125 basis points of the policy rate reduction since January. 

Smalls saving schemes include Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), Public Provident Fund (PPF), Post Office fixed Deposit Scheme, Senior Citizen's Savings Scheme, Post Office Savings Account and Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts.

Aadhaar number made compulsory in all Government Service Records

Govt Orders

Aadhaar number made compulsory in all government service records

The Central Government had issued the following orders from time to time regarding aading the Aadhaar number in Service Reocords of Central Government Employees.

The Honourable Supreme Court of India had already clarified that Aadhaar numbers cannot be made compulsory for Indian citizens. But the Centre had argued that Aadhaar numbers are necessary for its welfare schemes. The case is pending in the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, without declaring that Aadhaar numbers are compulsory for all, the central government has made it compulsory for enjoying the various benefit schemes that are being offered. This has led to a debate if the centre is indirectly twisting the arms of the citizens to obtain the Aadhaar number.

In the meantime, an order was issued by the finance minister of the Delhi state government on Tuesday. It said that in order to speed up the pension distribution and salary due payments, certain new clauses have been added to Form 5. Since the order issued in this regard by the Ministry of Labour Welfare and Training is applicable to the employees of all the state and union territory governments, the employees of Delhi state government too are bound by it. Until now, the pensions for the employees of Delhi state government were given at the Accounts Auditor’s office of the Ministry of Finance. It has now been made compulsory for all the Delhi state government employees to submit their Aadhaar numbers. Hence, orders have been issued to all the employees to add their Aadhaar numbers to their Service Records.

The Department of Exchequer of the Ministry of Finance had issued an order on June 2, in which, just stopping short of saying that Aadhaar card is compulsory for all, it laid emphasis on possessing the Aadhaar number. That is, as part of the Digital India plan, and for the issuing of digital life certificate to government employees, the government is forced to take certain steps. In order to facilitate these, employees have to now submit their PAN Cards, Aadhaar numbers, email ID and cellphone numbers in their pension book records. A number of accounts department in various offices do not bother to confirm if the employees possess Aadhaar cards. The order says that the offices must insist that the employees present their Aadnaar number when they begin to draw their pensions.
