Seventh Pay Commission To Offer Realistic View On Salaries And Allowances

Image
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley  New Delhi: Seventh Pay Commission was approved to form by the UPA government on September 25, 2013, which may benefit as many as 50 lakh central government employees and 56 lakh pensioners, with an eye on votes in that crucial election year. The Sixth pay commission was constituted in 2006 and in the normal course, the government was expected to announce the next pay commission after a gap of 10 years. The fifth came in 1996. But with the UPA government’s image battered by a spate of corruption scandals, the date had been advanced by two years in order to recover some lost ground with the electorate.

Compulsory Retirement after 30 Years Service/ on reaching of 50 Years of Age ? Views of Employees

Recently, the Central Government Employee’s Welfare Ministry released an announcement which has created panic and commotion among the central government employees. In the announcement it has been said that senior officials have to analyse the service record and decide whether employees who have completed thirty years of service or reached their 50th year should continue their service or be advised to leave service after three months notice. Does it take a management to learn that an official or an employee is unfit to continue in service when he has reached his 50th year? Does it take thirty years of continuous service to assess the efficiency of an employee?

Pension fund can grow up to 20% of country's GDP: EPFO Central Commissioner K K Jalan

NEW DELHI: Stressing on finding more ways to expand investment avenues in the country, EPFO Central Commissioner K K Jalan today said India has the potential to increase the size of its pension fund by 10 times to around 20 per cent of the GDP. "Luxembourg is a small country where the pension fund size is about 160 per cent of the GDP. Australia probably has 40-50 per cent of GDP as the size of pension fund. "In India also we can work it that way, we can make the pension fund to roughly around 20 per cent of the GDP. If we really work well, we can make 20 per cent of GDP as pension fund. If that happens, we have a lot of money available through the investment in various sectors," Jalan said at a conference on Pension and Social Security Reforms here today.

Paramilitary veterans have decided to launch an indefinite dharna at Jantar Mantar on November NEW DELHI: As widely anticipated, the announcement of one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme for the armed forces has triggered copycat demands by retired personnel of paramilitary forces who are now seeking a similar deal, raising the prospect of the government, already strained for resources, having to shoulder additional financial burden of at least Rs 3,000 crore annually. Paramilitary veterans, who have always clamoured for parity with armed forces, have decided to hit the street straightaway, and plan to launch an indefinite dharna at Jantar Mantar on November 2, just like the one ex-servicemen took recourse to in order to force the government to speed up the OROP announcement.

7वें वेतन आयोग में मूल वेतन होगा 15 हजार! केंद्र सरकार के कार्मिकों को सातवें वेतन आयोग से बड़ा तोहफा मिलने की संभावना नहीं है। सूत्रों की मानें तो वेतन में औसत बढ़ोत्तरी 15-20 फीसदी के बीच रहने की संभावना है। जबकि अच्छी खबर यह है कि न्यूनतम मूल वेतन को बढ़ाकर 15 हजार किए जाने के आसार हैं। वेतन आयोग केंद्रीय कर्मियों का अधिकतम कार्यकाल 33 साल तय कर सकता है। यह कार्मिकों के लिए घाटे का सौदा हो सकता है। उच्च पदस्थ सूत्रों के अनुसार वेतन आयोग ने विभिन्न पक्षों से विचार-विमर्श की प्रक्रिया पूरी कर ली है तथा अब अपनी सिफारिशों को अंतिम रूप देने में जुटा है। अगले दो महीनों के भीतर आयोग अपनी रिपोर्ट सरकार को सौंप देगा। हिन्दुस्तान को तीन मुद्दों पर विश्वस्त सूचना मिली है जिन पर वेतन आयोग करीब-करीब अपनी राय तैयार कर चुका है। वेतन आयोग का पहला प्रयास यह है कि औसत वेतन वृद्धि को 15-20 फीसदी के बीच ही सीमित रखा जाए। यदि छठे वेतन आयोग को देखें तो औसत वेतन वृद्धि 60-70 फीसदी तक हुई थी। लेकिन सातवें वेतन आयोग का मानना है कि छठे वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों से मिली शानदार बढ़ोत्तरी के बाद...
