CONFEDERATION IMPORTANT CIRCULAR
Dated 18-01-2017
IMPORTANT
CIRCULAR
To,
1.
All National Secretariat Members
2.
Chief Executives of all Affiliated Organizations
3.
General Secretaries of all C-O-Cs
Dear Comrades,
1. NJCA MEETING - NO CONSENSUS ON REVIVAL OF DEFERRED
INDEFINITE STRIKE
Much awaited meeting of the National Joint
Council of Action (NJCA) was held on 17th January at National
Council (JCM) Staff-side office at New Delhi. Leaders of Railways, Defence,
Postal & Confederation attended. Detailed discussions were held on the
developments that took place after the deferment of the indefinite strike of 11th
July 2016 and also on the totally negative attitude of the Government towards
the 7th Pay Commission related issues of Central Govt. Employees and
Pensioners, including increase in
Minimum Pay, Fitment formula, Allowances, Pensioner’s Option-I etc.
Unfortunately, there was no consensus
regarding revival of the deferred indefinite strike. Hence no decision could be
taken. Meeting ended with an understanding to meet again after some days. In
the meantime, NJCA Chairman and Convener may try to meet the Cabinet Ministers
who have given the assurances on 30th June 2016 to NJCA leaders.
2. IMPORTANCE OF 16TH MARCH 2017
CONFEDERATION STRIKE
The clear picture that emerged from the NJCA
meeting held on 17-01-2017 is that there is no possibility of revival of
deferred indefinite strike by NJCA in
the near future. It is also a fact that Govt. may implement the recommendations
of Allowances Committee, Pension Committee etc., before or immediately after
March 2017. It has become certain that the Pension Committee has rejected
Option-I recommended by 7th CPC, the one and the only good
recommendation of 7th CPC and the Implementation Cell of the Finance
Ministry is processing the recommendation of Pension Committee for Cabinet
approval. Whether the Allowance Committee will recommend change in the
recommendations of 7th CPC (I.e., %ge of HRA etc.,) nobody can
predict. The request of the Convener of NJCA to the Chairman, Allowance
Committee, (Finance Secretary) to hold another meeting with Staff-side was also
not conceded by the Committee till date. There is every possibility that Govt.
may not implement the recommendations of the Allowance Committee
retrospectively from 01-01-2016, instead it may implement it from 01-01-2017 or
01-04-2017. After, Govt. unilaterally implementing everything, declaring strike is a futile exercise and betrayal of
the employees and Pensioners. We should strike when the iron is hot. The unilateral
decision of the Govt. to implement “very good” benchmark for MACP has cast
shadow on the future promotional prospects of a large number of employees who
are not in the good book of the Government and administration for reasons best
known to them. The NPS Committee appointed by the Govt. is not mandated to
recommend scrapping of New Pension Scheme, but it is for recommending cosmetic
changes in NPS in the name of streamlining the NPS as recommended by 7th
CPC.
Regarding increase in Minimum Pay and
Fitment Formula, no High Level Committee is constituted till date, as assured
by the Group of Senior Cabinet Ministers to NJCA leaders on 30-06-2016. A Group
of Senior Officers held two round discussion with the Staff-side, but surprisingly
they had not come prepared to discuss increase in Minimum Wage and Fitment
Formula. They made a mockery of the meeting by disclosing in the first meeting
that they are not fully aware of the details of the issue and in the second
meeting they told that they came for discussing Allowances (though another
Committee for Allowances is already constituted) and not Minimum Wage or
Fitment Formula!!!. The last meeting was held in October 2016 and thereafter no
meeting is notified. All anomalies arising out of implementation of 7th
CPC recommendations remain unsettled.
There is no improvement in the issues
relating to Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS), Casual, Contract Workers and Daily-rated
mazdoors. The GDS Committee Report submitted to Government on 24-11-2016, it
yet to be published. Even if it is published, it may take time for
implementation. Other demands submitted to Govt. by the NJCA strike notice
served on the 10th June 2016 and charter of demands are also
pending. The four months time fixed for Allowance Committee already extended to
six months. The four months time for increasing Minimum Wage and Fitment
Formula expired on 30-10-2016.
All the employees and Pensioners are totally
disappointed and are voicing their anger and protest through various forums and
social media. In the above circumstances everybody expected that the NJCA shall
revive the deferred indefinite strike. Inspite of our best efforts that is not
happening.
3. SOMEBODY SHOULD COME FORWARD TO PROTEST AND
CONFEDERATION IS TAKING UP THAT RESPONSIBILITY
When the three Cabinet Ministers including
Shri Rajnath Singh, Home Minister, Shri Arun Jaitely, Finance Minister, Shri
Suresh Prabhu, Railway Minister have gone back from their assurances and
betrayed 33 lakhs Central Govt Employees and 34 lakhs Pensioners, when the
Government is going ahead unilaterally without even consulting the NJCA
leaders, we cannot remain silent spectators and accept every decision of the
Government, lying down, without any protest. Somebody should come forward to
protest and if necessary to suffer and sacrifice and history has bestowed that
responsibility on Confederation and Confederation is ready to accept the
challenge and responsibility. We are not afraid of the NDA Govt. when we are
fighting for the justified demands. All employees are eagerly looking towards
Confederation and they want Confederation to lead, whether others may follow or
not. It is in this background the Diamond Jubilee year, All India Conference of
Confederation held at Chennai from 16th to 18th August
2016 has taken the historic decision to organize independent trade union action
including strike, if NJCA is not ready to revive the deferred indefinite
strike.
4. INTENSIFY MOBILIZATION CAMPAIGN – MAKE THE 2017 MARCH 16th
ONE DAY STRIKE A HISTORIC SUCCESS.
All of us should clearly understand that
more than the strike, the intensive nationwide mobilization and campaign plays
an important role in building up pressure on the Govt and settling the demands.
The success of the strike also depends upon the mobilization and campaign work
carried out by the leadership, especially the grass-root level leadership. The
date of one day strike was postponed to March 16th due to the
following reasons :
(a)Election Commission has notified election
to five State Assemblies during the month of February and first half of March
2017.
(b)15th February 2017, which was
our strike date, happens to be a polling day in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.
In the campaign programme of the National
Secretariat Members, already published, if any change in date is required, the
concerned National Secretariat Members and C-O-Cs may make it in consultation
with each other.
5. INDEPENDENT CAMPAIGN BY EACH AFFILIATE AND C-O-C IS MOST
IMPORTANT
In addition to the campaign programme of
National Secretariat members, all affiliated organizations and C-O-Cs should
plan their own independent campaign programme. Office meetings, General body
meetings, Gate meetings, Conventions, Managing body meetings may be held at all
places. Posters, notices, bulletins etc, may be printed and circulated widely
among the employees. Maximum publicity may be given through print/electronic
media and social media like whatsapp, face book etc,. Intelligence Agencies of
the Govt will report each and every movement from our side and let the report
reach the Government that the entire Central Government employees and
Pensioners are totally disappointed and their resentment is growing day by day.
Please give top priority to campaign. No leader whether All India, State or
Unit level shall sit idle in the coming days and everybody should be in the
field, mobilizing the employees. Betrayal of the Cabinet Ministers of NDA
should be exposed among the employees, Pensioners and general public,
especially in the poll-bound five States.
6. SERVE STRIKE NOTICE BEFORE 10th FEBRUARY
2017, IF NOT ALREADY SERVED
All Affiliated Organizations should serve
the strike notice to their respective departmental Heads. Proforma of the strike
notice and charter of demands already published in the Confederation website www.confederationhq.blogspot.com.
If any organization has not served the strike notice to their Departmental
Head, they should serve it before 10th February 2017. Those
organizations which had already served the strike notice as 15th
February 2017, should give a letter to the authority concerned, intimating the
postponement of the strike date to 16th March 2017, due to
declaration of election to five State Assemblies (if necessary, revised strike
notice can be given). Copies of the strike notice served to the Departmental
Heads should be circulated to all lower units. Complaints are received at
Confederation CHQ that some organizations are not circulating their strike
notice to lower units which creates a lot of confusion at unit level. This
should be avoided and each organization should ensure that copy of the strike
notice is circulated to all lower units WITHOUT FAIL.
7. NAME & POSTAL ADDRESS OF WOMEN SUB-COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OF CONFEDERATION
Confederation CHQ had already written
letters to the concerned Chief Executives of the affiliated organizations to
intimate the full postal address with PIN code of all newly elected Women Sub
Committee members of Confederation. It is requested that the same may be
furnished before 31st January 2017.
8. HELP CONFEDERATION TO SERVE YOU BETTER
All of you are aware that the financial
position of the Confederation CHQ is not at all sound. It is needless to
mention that without fund, no organization can function. For Parliament March
and strike mobilization etc., big amount is already be spent. We are continuously
fighting against the Government’s policies and for efficient and vibrant
functioning, funds are required. All Affiliated Organizations and C-O-Cs are
requested to collect and remit maximum quota and donations to the Confederation
immediately. The amount may be remitted to the following address:

NJCA MEETING -- 17th January 2017
NJCA MEETING
NO CONSENSUS ON REVIVAL OF DEFERRED INDEFINITE STRIKE
Much awaited meeting of the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) was held on 17th January
2017 at National Council (JCM) Staff-side office at New Delhi. Leaders
of Railways, Defence, Postal and Confederation attended. Detailed
discussions were held on the developments that took place after the
deferment of the indefinite strike of 11th July 2016 and also on the totally negative attitude of the Government towards the 7th Pay
Commission related issues of the Central Government Employees &
Pensioners, including increase in Minimum Pay, Fitment formula,
Allowances, Pensioner’s Option-I etc.
Unfortunately,
there was no consensus regarding revival of the deferred indefinite
strike. Hence no decision could be taken. Meeting ended with a decision
to meet again after some days. In the meantime NJCA Chairman and
Convener may try to meet the Cabinet Ministers who have given the
assurances on 30th June 2016 to NJCA leaders.
As
there is no immediate possibility for revival of the indefinite strike
by NJCA, Confederation National Secretariat has decided to intensify the
mobilization campaign and preparation for making the 16th March
2017 one day strike a grand success. All Affiliated Organizations and
C-O-Cs are once again requested to make all –out efforts to ensure cent
percent participation of employees in the strike. In addition to the
campaign programme of National Secretariat members, each affiliated
organization and C-O-Cs should chalk out their own separate campaign
programme. Please give wide publicity through local print / electronic
media and social media like whatsapp, facebook etc.
No
doubt, our strike will have a great impact in settling the demands and
also in exposing the powers-that-be who betrayed the cause of 33 lakhs
Central Govt Employees and 34 lakhs Pensioners.
Somebody should come forward to protest and also, if necessary, to suffer and Confederation is ready for it.
Let Confederation lead and others follow.

GDS COMMITTEE REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF POST SOUGHT PERMISSION
FROM ELECTION COMMISSION FOR PUBLISHING THE REPORT - DISCUSSION HELD WITH NFPE
& FNPO - ASSURED TO PUBLISH THE REPORT IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING APPROVAL
INDEFINITE HUNGER FAST DEFERRED
Dear
Comrades,
As
you are aware, the GDS Committee headed by Shri Kamlesh Chandra, Retired Postal
Board Member, has submitted its report to Government on 24th
November 2016. Secretary, Posts, informed us that the report will be published
only after getting approval of the Minister, Communications. Earlier, GDS
Committee Report was published on the very same date of submission. 7th
Pay Commission Report was also published immediately on submission to Government.
Protesting
against the unjustified stand of the Department, NFPE & AIPEU-GDS conducted
nationwide agitational programmes like protest demonstration, dharna etc.
Finally we have given notice for indefinite hunger fast in front of the
Directorate from 18.01.2017, by Secretary General, NFPE and all General
Secretaries of affiliated Unions including AIPEU-GDS. After our hunger fast
notice things started moving. Secretary, Department of Posts deputed a Senior Officer
to the Minister’s office to get the approval of the Minister. Minister
granted permission to publish the Report with a condition that Election
Commission’s approval should be obtained before publishing the Report, as Election
Commission has already declared election to five State Assemblies.
On
16.01.2017, the Department called us for discussion with Member (Technology). In
the discussion Member (T) informed that “a reference has been made to the Election Commission of
India (ECI) and a response is expected shortly”. We recorded our strong protest against the
unjustified delay in publishing the report. The Member (T) expressed “the difficulty
in hosting the report in the Department’s website on account of the enforcement
of the Model Code of Conduct in view of assembly elections having been announce
in five states”. The appeal given
by the Department to call off the indefinite hunger fast is published below.
In
view of the above, the Federal Secretariat of NFPE and AIPEU-GDS has reviewed the
situation based on the written assurance given by the Department and has
decided to postpone the indefinite hunger fast to be commenced from 18th
January 2017. Even if we go on indefinite fast or strike, Department cannot
publish it without the permission of Election Commission, as the Department has
already submitted it to Election Commission for permission.
We
hope that the Election Commission will grant permission shortly to publish the
Report.
NFPE
& AIPEU-GDS has made sincere effort for compelling the Department to
publish the GDS Committee Report and conducted nationwide agitational
programmes. It is only because of our agitational programmes and indefinite
hunger fast notice, the Department was compelled to get permission and also
submitted it for Election Commission’s approval.
NFPE
& AIPEU-GDS always stand with the three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks and we
assure our GDS employees that if GDS Committee Report is against the interest
of the GDS NFPE & AIPEU-GDS will declare serious agitational programmes
including strike.

88 percent of pension accounts have been linked to Aadhaar: Dr Jitendra Singh
Make Pensioners part of nation building process, says Minister
The Union Minister of State (Independent
Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO,
Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr.
Jitendra Singh chaired the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of
Voluntary Agencies (SCOVA) here today. The SCOVA meeting is organised by
the Department of Pensions & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP&PW),
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions and the last
such meeting was held on June 27, 2016.
During the meeting, Dr. Jitendra Singh
said that today’s interaction was very meaningful and stimulating, thus
reflecting on the working of DoP&PW. The Minister said that there
are about 50-55 lakh pensioners in the country and almost 88 percent of
pension accounts have been seeded to Aadhaar. He further said that
minimum pension has been increased to Rs. 9000 per person and ex-gratia
amount has been increased from Rs. 10-15 lakh to Rs. 25-35 lakh.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that we need to
put in place an institutionalized mechanism to make good use of the
knowledge, experience and efforts of the retired employees which can
help in the value addition to the current scenario. Dr. Jitendra Singh
said the retired employees are a healthy and productive workforce for
India and we need to streamline and channelize their energies in a
productive direction. We should learn from the pensioners’ experience,
he added. The Minister also said that the DoP&PW should be
reoriented in such a way that pensioners become a part of nation
building process.
In the meeting, discussions were held on
the action taken report of the 28th SCOVA meeting. Further many issues
related to pensioners were discussed threadbare, such as revision of
PPOs of pre-2006 pensioners, Health Insurance Scheme for pensioners
including those residing in non-CGHS area, Special “Higher” Family
Pension for widows of the war disabled invalidated out of service,
Extension of CGHS facilities to P&T pensioners, issue relating to
CGHS Wellness Centre, Dehradun etc. The Minister directed for the prompt
and time bound redressal of the grievances of the pensioners and said
that we should have sympathetic attitude towards them.
The Secretary, DoP&PW, Shri C.
Viswanath and other senior officers of the department were also present
on the occasion. The meeting was also attended by the member Pensioners
Associations and senior officers of the important Ministries/Departments
of Government of India.

Government employees need not file asset details under Lokpal for now
New Delhi: The Centre has extended indefinitely the deadline
to file details of assets and liabilities by central government
employees under a mandatory provision of Lokpal Act. A new format and
fresh set of rules are being finalised by the government in this regard.
The last date for filing such details was 31 December.
“There is no requirement for filing of declarations of assets and
liabilities by public servants now. The government is in the process of
finalising a fresh set of rules. The said rules will be notified in due
course to prescribe the form, manner and timelines for filing of
declaration of assets and liabilities by the public servants under the
revised provision of the said (Lokpal) Act. “All public servants will
henceforth be required to file the declarations as may be prescribed by
the fresh set of rules,” an order issued by Department of Personnel and
Training (DoPT) said.
There are about 50.68 lakh central
government employees. As per rules, notified under the Lokpal Act, every
public servant shall file declaration annually pertaining to his assets
and liabilities as on 31 March every year or on or before 31 July of
that year.
For 2014, the last date for filing returns was 15
September. It was first extended till December, then till 30 April 2015
and third extension was up to 15 October. The date was again extended to
15 April 2016 and then 31 July for filing of the returns. The last
date was further extended till 31 December after Parliament had passed a
bill to amend the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
The
declarations under the Lokpal law are in addition to similar ones filed
by the employees under various services rules. The DoPT had last year
also issued an order bringing NGOs receiving more than Rs one crore in
government grants and donations above Rs10 lakh from abroad under the
ambit of the Lokpal. The order had mandated filing of returns of the
assets and liabilities by such organisations and their
executives—director, manager, secretary or any other officer.

By the very nature of things, Child Care Leave has to be applied for in advance and due permission accorded. The right is valuable because female employee gets full salary for the period of Child Care Leave. Child Care Leave cannot be applied for to act retrospectively and therefore, there is nothing wrong in the Department holding that ex post facto permission cannot be granted. In this case first request was made on 6.4.2011 for granting backdated Child Care Leave w.e.f 30.11.2010 to 30.3.2011.
No merit.

PENSIONER'S OPTION - 1 MERCILESSLY REJECTED.
PENSIONER'S OPTION - 1 MERCILESSLY REJECTED.
It is learnt that the Committee chaired by Secretary (Pension) has NOT recommended the Option Number - 1 recommended by 7th Central Pay Commission for fixation of pension of pre -2016 Pensioners. Instead it has recommended extension of the benefit of pension determination recommended by 5th CPC ie ; arriving at notional pay in 7th CPC by applying formula for pay revision for serving employees in each Pay Commission revision and consequent pension fixation. Now the Implementation Cell of 7th CPC is studying the recommendations of Pension Committee for processing for submission for approval of Cabinet. Thus , the one and the only favourable recommendation of 7th CPC ie; the real parity in Pension which is also approved by Cabinet with a rider "subject to feasibility" is going to be mercilessly rejected by Government , inspite of repeated requests and demands from NJCA, Confederation and Pensioners Associations .
