Centre betters pay panel pension hike 6 Sep 2008, 0011 hrs IST, Ashish Sinha ,TNN NEW DELHI: This should cheer former central government employees. With the Centre notifying the new pension rules, they can expect a higher pension packet from next month. The revised pensions are higher than what the Sixth Pay Commission recommended.
Although the move benefits the cross-section of retired employees, those in higher brackets have gained more in real terms. New pensions for defence and railway personnel will be notified separately.
Older pensioners have an added reason to rejoice. Centenarians will get 100% extra pension calculated at revised rates. Similarly, those over 80 years will get an additional 20% of their basic pension. This goes up by 30%, 40% and 50% for those over 85, 90 and 95, respectively.
To get an idea of the quantum of hike, a person with a basic pension of Rs 10,000 — who used to get Rs 22,050 in hand — will now receive a total pension of Rs 26,216. The new rates are effective from January 2006 and the arrears will be given out in two instalments — 40% during the current fiscal, 60% in 2009-10.
The maximum gratuity too has been revised to Rs 10 lakh, up from the earlier Rs 3.5 lakh. If an employee dies during service, his family will now get full pension (enhanced family pension) for 10 years.
The new rules also add more flexibility in retirement benefits. For instance, those who are due to retire can now get 40% of their pension commuted and get a lump sum amount in turn.

Armed forces take pay panel grievances to PMO 6 Sep 2008, 0237 hrs IST,TNN NEW DELHI: The armed forces have now taken the raging battle over the 6th Pay Commission right till the PMO, seeking direct intervention from the country’s top political leadership in restoring their parity with their civilian and paramilitary counterparts.
Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, in his capacity as the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee (CoSC), made a representation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday about their grievances with the August 29 gazette notification of new pay scales. ‘‘Apart from briefing the PM on his recent visits to Japan and South Korea as well as the rescue operations in flood-hit Bihar, Admiral Mehta presented a written brief to PM about the demoralisation in the three Services due to the new pay scales,’’ said a source.
To ensure that this unprecedented action is not seen as mutinous in any way, the armed forces have reposed their ‘‘full confidence’’ in the Union Cabinet in the latest letter written to defence minister A K Antony by the CoSC chairman.
The forces, in fact, want the pay notification to ‘‘be kept in abeyance’’ till the Union Cabinet considers the ‘‘core issues’’ and issues corrective directions to ensure that its officers are not downgraded, in terms of pay and status, in comparison with other civil services and paramilitary forces, including the IPS.
If this is not done, it will lead to ‘‘despondency’’ among the ‘‘badly demoralized’’ officers of the three Services. Moreover, it will seriously jeopardise ‘‘operational’’ and ‘‘functional’’ harmony between the armed forces and the paramilitary forces whenever they operate together, warned Admiral Mehta, in his letter.
The main grouse of the forces revolves around the fact that the ‘‘extant parity’’ of Lt-Colonel rank officers has been lowered by retaining them in Pay Band-3 (Rs 15,600-39,100), while raising similarly placed civilians and paramilitary officers to PB-4 (Rs 37,400-67,000). The forces have also sought restoration of parity in grade pay for lower and middle rung Service officers with their civilian counterparts, who are going to get more as per the new pay scales.
Then, of course, the armed forces are also angry at the fact that all directors-general of police and their equivalents have been placed over Lt-Generals by the creation of a new ‘‘higher administrative grade-plus’’.
The ‘‘lowering of status’’ of Lt-Cols and their equivalent ranks in IAF (Wing Commander) and Navy (Commander), who constitute the bulk of the fighting force among officers, is of course the most painful for the forces.

The government has now withdrawn the Risk Allowance from the proposed Recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. The good news for the employees is that in place of the Risk Allowance, they will now be entitled to get free Life and Medical Insurance of Rs 5 Lakhs each.
Free Medical and Life Insurance Amounts as per Pay Band
Employees be provided with free medical and life insurance of
Rs.5 lakhs for employees in PB-1 pay band,
Rs.7 lakhs for employees in PB-2 pay band,
Rs.10 lakhs for employees in PB-3 pay band/higher pay bands/scales
However, the bad news is that employees will not get any cash component in the name of Risk Allowance. It will all be unrealized money with free life insurance and free medical insurance. As per the news details, The amount of the insurance should automatically be increased by 50% every time the DA payable on the revised pay goes up by 50%. The entire expenditure on paying premium for this insurance will be borne by the Government.
The amount insured will be paid in case of any serious injury/death sustained in the course of employment and will be over and above the other benefits available to all categories of Government employees.
These employees should also be provided with additional health benefits with mandatory health check-ups every quarter and enhanced leave, wherever the same is necessary for proper recuperation.

The salary increase for Group A officers will be much more than 21 per cent and in cases of some senior Railway Board officials, the hike is almost 50 per cent, said Basudeb Acharya, Chairman of the Parliament Committee on Railways.
The total working expenses of Railways are estimated to be Rs 66,590 crore and the targeted operating ratio is 81.4 per cent for the current fiscal.
The operating ratio refers to the percentage of expenditure to income.
Efforts are on to maintain the operating ratio despite the pay panel impact by increasing the earnings in the recent past, the official said, adding the loading target has been revised from 850 million tonnes (MT) to 875 MT.
Reacting to the pay panel bonanza for employees, Acharya said, "Though there is a hike in employee salary, it would reduce the employment opportunities in Railways."
Pointing to the recommendation to abolish Group D posts, he said "There will be no appointment of gangmen in future and maintenance of track now be outsourced." |

IT officials appeal to Manmohan on pay anomalies New Delhi (PTI): Unhappy with modified Sixth Pay Commission award, taxmen have pointed out discrepancies in the revised pay scale and have sought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's intervention in the matter.
Pointing out the discrepancies in the revised pay scale, income tax officials said when compared with their counterparts in some other departments, it amounted to virtually "lowering of status" of senior revenue officials.
"We are shocked at the decision of the government to ignore recommendations of the Pay Commission to upgrade the pay scale of members of CBDT to Rs 80,000 (fixed), even though the pay scales of Directors General of Police and Principal Chief Conservators of Forests have been upgraded without any recommendation," said a memorandum submitted by the Indian Revenue Service Association.

Government employees: Implications of the SPC report
The Sixth Pay Commission (SPC) report has given reason enough for our babus to smile. The government has handed a gift hamper to its employees in the form of retirement benefits which will attract the younger generation too.. CJ: Ravi Kant , 1 day ago Views:537 Comments:3 IT ALL started with the SPC bringing cheer to more than 50 lakh babus of the government of India. The babus are still busy, calculating their arrears and collecting information from various sources. ‘What will be my DA, what will be my pay band, what will be my basic pay, how much will I get by way of arrears, how much of the arrears will I get this year, what will be its impact on my income tax liability for the current year and the next, etc’ are amongst the plethora of questions to which they want to find an answer, given that the government is inclined to favour them with one benefit after benefit. It seems that the government has decided to keep its employees preoccupied with calculating their benefits until the next election. The benefits have puzzled the babus in the sense they do not know where to start and where to end in the context of the computation of the benefits. To put it in the computer nerd’s language, they don’t know the ‘begin_date’ and the ‘end_date’.
The way the government is heaping benefits on its employees, one gets the impression that the employees had starved for decades. Be it improving the basic pay scale or adding sparkling features to the pay band or reckoning even transport allowance for computation of Dearness Allowance or the latest carrot, viz., offering retirement benefit, the government has really pampered its employees. It is for the benefit of these babus, the following explanation is being offered, feature by feature. Are the babus ready to jot down, then?
Full pension only after 20 years: You are entitled to full pension after completing 20 years of service. This offer is really attractive to those government employees who joined at an early age and now want to enter the private sector. Pension will act as a cushion after they give up the secure government job. The government has tried to attract young talent by incorporating this flexibility. Gratuity limit enhanced:Gratuity cap has been raised to Rs 10.00 lakhs from the present Rs 3.5 lakhs – a cool jump of approximately 300 percent! Of course gratuity is a function of the service put in by the employee and the last salary drawn. But it will provide adequate relief to employees retiring in the near future in the context of the scorching inflation of over 12 percent ruling for sometime now. They can invest this lump sum in any bank and generate over 10 percent by way of interest. It is a double bonanza for those on the verge of becoming senior citizens. Enhanced pension cap and floor limit: Government has raised the minimum pension of its employees from Rs 2,813/- to Rs 4,060/-. The upper ceiling has been raised to Rs 52,200/- from Rs 33,075/- at present. So the cap has been raised by a whopping 58 percent while the floor (minimum) has been raised by an impressive 44 percent. So employees in the higher salary bracket will benefit more when they retire. Live long and enjoy more:A new and unique dimension has been added to the new pension scheme. If you remain healthy post-retirement and hence live longer, your pension will increase proportionately. So once you turn 80, your pension will rise by 20 percent; similarly if you turn 85, your pension will rise by 30 percent; each additional five years there from will entitle you to a rise of over 10 percent. Arrears will not be taxed in the same year: Some confusion prevails with regard to computation of income tax in respect of arrears. Arrears would be released in two instalments of 40 percent and 60 percent in two financial years, viz., 2008-09 and 2009-10. Earlier it was reported that even though the arrears would be released in two instalments, the employee should reckon the arrears fully as income in financial year 2008-09. It spoiled the employees’ party since most of the first instalment of arrears released would have been gobbled up by the taxman this year. But the Finance Minister has reportedly clarified that only the arrears released this year, viz., 40 percent will be taxed. Benefits enhanced if employees dies while on duty:Ex gratia paid to the family of an employee killed in terrorist attacks or attacks by anti-social elements has been enhanced to Rs 10.00 lakhs. The family will be paid Rs 15.00 lakhs by way of ex-gratia if the employee dies
It appears that government is determined to overhaul its departments and attract the youth. Government jobs had lost their sheen with the advent of a liberalized economy. The whole exercise seeks to benefit everyone in every possible way - right from hiking the emoluments paid to serving young employees to hiking the terminal benefits paid to outgoing employees. The exercise is sure to add some value to government jobs until of course the private sector hikes the benefits of its employees proportionately. Let us give a cheer to the babus once again!

Group `D` staff may not require to pay tax on arrears Group 'D' employees of the Central government, including peons and drivers, can heave a sigh of relief as they are likely to get their 40 percent salary arrears in full without any income tax deduction on implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.
While the Group 'D' government employees will not have to pay tax on arrears, those belonging to higher levels can also claim marginal benefit by filing Form 10E of the Income Tax Returns, said a senior official of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
Among the Group 'D' employees, drivers receive highest salary because of over-time allowance, the tax official said, adding, "even they will fall short of the taxing limit by a whisker."
High ranking officials would not get as much benefit as their Group 'D' counterparts get as they already are in a larger tax bracket and may also be required to pay a "surcharge" on their salaries, Chartered Accountant Subhash Lakhotia said.
The government while approving the Pay Commission's recommendations said 40 percent of the arrears would be paid in the current year, while the remaining 60 percent would be disbursed in the next financial year. The arrears are with effect from January 2006.
On income tax liability on salary arrears, the official said, government employees would be required to pay taxes only on arrears which they would receive during the current year along with the benefits entitled under Section 89 and Rule 21 AA of the Income-Tax Act.
Lakhotia said senior officials "will only get a marginal benefit after filing Form 10E as the income-tax exemption limit for current year has increased."

The Navy chief handed over a detailed representation to the Prime Minister highlighting the perceived anomalies and once again sought the intervention of the Union Cabinet to resolve the issues.
The incident may lead to a little embarrassment for the Defence Ministry that had earlier raised objections over a letter written by the Army Chief to President Pratibha Patil over the pay panel.
“The focus was on the core issues of lowering of status of Defence personnel that will infringe on operational aspects in the field where officers will need to interact with their civil counterparts,” a senior officer said.
The main problem being a lowering of parity of Lt Col and equivalent officers with their counterpart in the paramilitary forces. With the new pay panel norms, central paramilitary officers who were till now ranked lower to Armed Forces officers have been placed in a higher pay band.
On Monday, the three service chiefs had met Defence Minister A K Antony and urged him for the intervention of the Cabinet, rather than a committee to consider its demands on the pay panel report.
In a letter to the Defence Minister, Mehta had said any disruption in the existing parities of pay would lead to serious operational problems for the Armed Forces whenever they would need to work along with paramilitary and civilian officers.
The Armed Forces are angry over the ‘degradation’ of officers of the rank of Lt Cols who have been placed in the Pay Band 3, a grade lower than the PB 4 that their civilian counterparts have been given. They have also demanded that Lt Gen rank officers should be put in the new Pay Band of Higher Administrative Grade (HAG) Plus, in which Director General level officers of civil services and paramilitary have been placed.

Income Tax officials approach PM against pay anomalies Referring to the pay anomalies, the association pointed that a senior forest officer looking after forests in states like Haryana with virtually no forests would get more salary than the chief commissioner of Income Tax posted in Chandigarh, who is accountable for revenue collection in four states and UT. Income Tax officials approach PM against pay anomalies It pointed out that Directors General of Police in the IPS cadre and Principal Chief Conservators of Forests in the Indian Forest Service, whose rank earlier used to be equivalent to the members of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) have been given Secretary level pay scale of Rs 80,000 per month.
But, members of the Board have been put one notch, and chief commissioners of income tax two notch lower than these officials leading to "frustration and anguish" among the income tax officials.
The association delegations have already met External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, Railways Minister Lalu Prasad demanding restoration of the parity of their higher officials, and asked Prime Minister and Finance Minister P Chidambaram to intervene in the matter.

Diminished force
The armed forces have communicated to Defence Minister AK Antony that they are “unwilling to implement” the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC) report without “anomalies” being removed to restore their status and parity of pay scales. “A high-level delegation from the Chiefs of Staff Committee (CoSC) made a presentation to Mr Antony and top officials on anomalies, as introduced in the notified CPC report for officers, though it expressed satisfaction over the pay hikes for personnel below officer rank,” says a source in the defence ministry. It was pointed out that the extant parities of lieutenant-colonels and their equivalents in the navy and air force were lowered by retaining them in pay band-3, while raising similarly placed civilian and paramilitary officers to pay band-4. After witnessing the presentation, Mr Antony was quoted as assuring the CoSC that he would take up “the anomalies” with the government and get them addressed, sources said. Raising objections to the sixth pay panel notification after the Cabinet cleared it on 14 August, the three chiefs of the armed forces, in an unprecedented move, had written to Mr Antony that implementation for officer ranks be “held in abeyance” until their objections are addressed. Earlier, they had raised two broad objections: higher salary for personnel below officer ranks and parity with civil servants for officer ranks. While thanking the government for hiking salaries of non-officer personnel, they claim the disparity has only increased between service officers and their civil service counterparts. The main disparities pointed out are as under: Disparity in Pay Bands: The chiefs claim the Committee of Secretaries (CoS) moved the director rank into pay band-4 but retained lieutenant-colonels and their equivalent in other services in pay band-3. Earlier, they claim, a lieutenant-colonel got the same pay as an IAS director and Rs 800 more than a non-IAS director. Now he will get Rs 14,000 less than an IAS director and Rs 11,000 less than a non-IAS director; Disparity in grade pay: The CoS agreed to their demand to an increase in grade pay across middle-rank officers but also increased the grade pay of civil servants, thereby retaining disparity, the chiefs say. For example, the pay commission recommended Rs 6,600 for a civil servant equivalent to a major who was to get Rs 6,100. After review, a major will now get Rs 6,600 but his equivalent in the civil service will get Rs 7,600; Restricting elite list: The new category of HAG-plus (higher administrative grade) includes all DGs and DGPs but only army commanders and their equivalents in other services, the chiefs complain. Their demand: all lieutenant-generals be included in this category. The defence ministry is said to have replied that the objections are being looked into and a response will be given soon. Despite the reservations of defence personnel about the pay commission awards, the finance ministry dashed their hopes, denying any “injustice” to the armed forces in the new pay structure. “In no way are the defence personnel getting any lesser pay than their civilian counterparts. In fact, they will carry home fatter pay packets than civilian services and paramilitary under the new salary structures of the CPC,” a senior finance ministry official has said. Citing the new feature of the military service pay in the CPC, officials said armed forces officers would uniformly get Rs 6,000 more, whereas such a pay was not offered to the civilians and the paramilitary. “Under the 5th CPC there was no compensation provided for the risk factor involved in the defence personnel’s job profile. Military service pay has taken care of that lacuna in the 6th CPC,” the official said. Also, the military service pay would be counted along with the basic pay of armed forces officers for calculating armed forces’ dearness allowance (DA). “That would provide them with Rs 960 DA and the amount will increase as the DA is hiked,” the official added. Additionally, defence officers posted in Siachen will get an allowance of Rs 14,000 and a high-altitude allowance of Rs 8,000, which adds up to a total of Rs 22,000. Under the 5th CPC, defence personnel were getting only Rs 7,000 as Siachen allowance and R 4,000 as high-altitude allowance, adding up to Rs 11,000. Giving the example of entry-level officers in the rank of lieutenant and equivalent in navy and air force, officials said under the 5th pay commission in the pay scale of Rs 8,250-10,500, they received a salary totalling Rs 15,252 as of 31 December 2005. “On 1 January 2006, from when the 6th CPC will be effective, a lieutenant in pay band-3 will receive an additional grade pay of Rs 5,400 and military service pay of Rs 6,000, making his or her total emoluments Rs 27,000. As of September 1, 2008, when the 6th CPC was implemented, a lieutenant will get total emoluments of Rs 28,947,” an official said. Whereas, their civilian counterparts in the pay scale of Rs 8,000-13,500 under 5th CPC had received a pay of Rs 14,880. A lieutenant-colonel under the 5th CPC received a gross salary of Rs 28,086. But under the 6th CPC, he will receive a grade salary of Rs 7,600 and military service pay of Rs 6,000 under pay band-3. His pay as on 1 January 2006, from when 6th CPC is effective, will be Rs 41,690. From 1 September 2008, when the 6th CPC was implemented, this stands at Rs 45,000, officials said. A day after the finance ministry virtually rejected the armed forces’ pay demands, the three services chiefs noted that issues raised by them should be addressed by the country’s political leadership instead of the anomalies committee. Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, in his capacity as chairman, CoSC, also made a forceful plea that the CPC notification be “kept in abeyance” till the Cabinet considered the “core issues” and issued a correction to the notification. “The CPC-created disparities are not just pay anomalies but core issues. Hence, these cannot be left to the anomalies committee. But the Cabinet must consider them and issue a corrigendum to the CPC notification,” Admiral Mehta said, on behalf of all the three services chiefs, in a letter to Mr Antony. He said the issues such as “extant parities of pay” to lieutenant-colonels and equivalent officers vis-à-vis their civilian and paramilitary counterparts was not just related to the CPC, but could seriously jeopardise “operational” and “functional” harmony of the defence forces whenever and wherever they worked alongside the civilian and paramilitary forces officers. These issues, Admiral Mehta said had also “badly demoralised” the armed forces and if the issues persisted, they could lead to “despondency” among the defence cadre. The Union Cabinet is likely to take up for approval the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission immediately. The suggestions made by a committee of secretaries ~ set up following widespread resentment, especially among the armed forces, over the recommendations ~ have been incorporated in the commission report. It has been reported that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held a meeting on 4 September to discuss the report. It was attended by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Mr Antony, Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Home Minister Shivraj Patil, besides the cabinet secretary and secretaries of relevant ministries. The credit goes to Mr Antony, who is fully convinced of the disparities, so he favoured a hike for the officers and soldiers, over and above what was recommended in the pay panel report. Let us hope that the Cabinet Committee on Security removes these disparities so that the soldiers do not get demoralised because demoralised forces cannot protect the sovereignty, security and integrity of the country.

President's salary hiked to Rs 1.5 lakh Sandeep Phukan Thursday, September 11, 2008, (New Delhi) After giving the babus a steep pay hike, on Thursday the government decided to hike the salaries of the President of India, Vice President and Governors by 300 per cent.
As a result:
President's salary has been increased to Rs 1.5 lakh per month.
Vice-President's salary to Rs 1.25 lakh per month.
Governor's salary increased to Rs 1 lakh 10 thousand per month.
The salaries of constitutional heads had to be revised after the government accepted the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. The salary for the Cabinet Secretary, the highest post in the Indian bureaucracy, was fixed at 90,000 rupees, far more than what the President got. (Watch).
Despite a massive hike, the President's salary is no where near what the India Inc bosses earn. That is, of course, if you exclude the perk of staying in the palatial Rashtrapati Bhavan.

THEY WONT TELL YOU THAT THE LT COL WAS PREVIOUSLY IN S-25 SCALE AND THE CIVILIANS OF EVEN S-24 SCALE HAVE GONE TO PB-4 WITH MUCH HIGHER GRADE PAY. THEY ALSO WONT TELL YOU THAT 85% OF ARMY OFFICERS ARE LT COL AND BELOW. THE MSP IS AN EYE WASH AS TOTAL EMOLUMENTS OF CIVILIANS IN EARLIER EQUIVALENT SCALES ARE NOW MUCH MORE. WHY WOULD A CAPABLE YOUNGSTER JOIN ARMY ANYMORE WHEN HE CAN GET MUCH HIGHER WAGES, MORE PROMOTIONS, EASIER LIFE STYLE, INDEPENDENCE TO SPEAK HIS MIND AND TO LEAVE WHEN HE WANTS. AN ARMY OFFICER GETS LEAST PROMOTIONS, LEAST PAY, RETIREMENT AT 54 YEARS, MAXIMUM HARDSHIP, SEPERATION FROM FAMILY, PERMANENT GAG, NO FREEDOM TO LEAVE EVEN AFTER 20 YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT, IS GOVERNED BY THE DICTATORIAL ARMY ACT. WHEN IN CRISIS THIS NATION CRIES FOR ARMY, BUT OTHERWISE HUMILIATES IT LIKE THIS. MORE THAN PAY, ARMY WANTS RESPECT. INDIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHOSE MIN OF DEFENCE DOES NOT HAVE ANY MILITARY REPRESENTATION AND IS BEING ORDERED AROUND AND HUMILIATED BY IAS. WAKE UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE TIME OF NEHRU TOO WHICH LED TO THE HISTORIC SHAME OF 1962. EVEN THEN THEY SAID WE ARE A PEACE LOVING NATION, SO WHY WOULD ANYONE ATTACK US AND SAME BULL**** IS SURFACING ALL OVER AGAIN. THINK : IS THIS NATION SO SECURE THAT WE DONT NEED A STRONG ARMY OR IS THIS NATION SECURE BECAUSE OF A STRONG ARMY.
