OUR DEMAND FOR HRA ON THE BASIS OF CENSUS 2011-- SUCCESS


Revision of the classification/upgradation certain cities/towns on the basis of Census-2011 for the purpose of grant of House Rent Allowance and Transport Allowance to Central Government employees

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has given its approval to the proposal of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure for reclassification/upgradation of certain cities/towns on the basis of Census-2011, for the purpose of grant of House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Transport Allowance to Central Government employees.
On the basis of the final population figures of Census-2011, two cities have qualified for being upgraded from 'Y' class to 'X' class and 21 cities have qualified for being upgraded from 'Z' to 'Y' class for the purpose of HRA. Six cities have qualified for being upgraded from "Other Places" to specified higher class for the purpose of Transport Allowance.
The revised classification of cities shall take effect from 01.04.2014. The impact on the exchequer on account of upgradation of 29 cities, would be approx. Rs.128 crore for the year 2014-15.
Background:
HRA and Transport Allowance are admissible to Central Government employees depending upon employees' Basic Pay (including NPA where applicable)/Grade Pay and the classification of the city/town where they are posted. The existing classification of cities/towns in different classes viz. 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' for the purpose of HRA and 13 specified cities classified earlier as 'A-1'/ 'A' and "Other Places" for the purpose of Transport Allowance, is as per the criterion recommended by the 6th Central Pay Commission. The existing qualifying limits of population for classification for HRA purpose is 50 lakhs & above for 'X', 5 - 50 lakhs for 'Y' and below 5 lakhs for 'Z' class city. Transport allowance is payable at 'higher rates' in 13 specified cities classified earlier as 'A-1' / 'A' (that is those cities having population of 20 lakhs & above) and at 'lower rates' in all other places.
The classification of cities/towns for this purpose is revised on the basis of their population as reflected in the decennial census report. The existing classification of various cities/towns is based on 2001 Census figures. The criterion of population for this purpose has been followed as recommended by the Central Pay Commissions.

7th Pay Commission Report Reaches Final Stage...........

            The 7th Pay Commission Report is Said to be in the final Stage of Completion.  The Commission has already completed its research on the Pay Structures and Allowances to employees at Various stages.  The Commission has also taken into account the Structure prevailing in various Labor Intensive Countries both (developed and underdeveloped).

            The Commission is now under the process of recommending modification of several Benefits already available for the Government Employees.        
             There would be a change in the following areas :-

1. Earned Leave and its encashment during Service
2. Modifications in Medical Leave.
3. Risk Allowances for Armed Forces..
4. Leave and facilities relating to Women Employees.
5. Modification of Loans and Advances.
6. Provision of Amenities at various cities and rural establishment.


          The Commission has taken into consideration on the Unions Demand on Modification of  " Grade Pay " system .   It is learnt that some members have sought modification of Grade Pay System rather than totally discontinueing it.
           The Grade Pay System is likely to continue with some modifications .
            The Commission would concentrate highly on two aspects in fixing the Pay Structure to the employees.
 1. Minimum Pay
2. Ratio of Pay between various Posts.
          They would also consider higher pays for  Posts which are highly and directly relating to the services to People like the railways , Postal etc.
           The commission also wanted to discontinue several benefits which do have direct impact to the employees and does not provide any value to the society. The Leave structure is like to be modified where the employees can avail leave according to their requirements and not on common declarations so that the Government Machinery will be able to function through out the year with improved services to people.
          Privitization of posts such as Stenographers , peons and internal security will be recommended by granting financial powers to the bureaucrats instead of a permanent liablity to the Government .
          Posts Involving Multitasking and Combination of Several modes of Operations will have attractive pay scales .  Posts of Clerical in nature and does not prove to be productive or cannot be valuated on the basis of efficiency will be brought under one level of Pay Scale ie.  The Clerical Posts will be provided with same level of Pay in all the Government Departments so that there would be a parity in Post and Pay .   The New Clerical Post would also be suited for exchange of Staff between one Government Organisation to Another with very simple formalities.  example : one clerk working in Income Tax Department can be deputed to Central Excise Department or Customs where the nature of job remains the same .
         The Pay Structure for Administration wings of the Government Department would also be highly benefited on the revised liberlisation . 
          The Pay Commission would only worry  about the fixing of Minimum Scale of Pay and the Maximum Scale of Pay .     If the Minimum Scale of Pay is being Satisfied , then all other pay structures would have a considerable hike with the ratios .   If the Pay Commission fails to consider fixing of Minimum Pay Scale , then there would be a problem for all the Pay Scales there after.
          The High Level Officers in the Civil Services Cadre have already demanded better Pay Scales and Perks .  There becomes a Necessity to the Commission to consider higher Pay Scales for High Level Officers .
          The entire Central Government Employees have already demanded for merger of DA and the Government has not taken note of and yet waiting for the pay commission report.
          The recent strong protests from various labor unions against the central Government Policies and the Delhi Results have made more interesting in the Rally Between the Employees and the Present Government.
          The Government should consider the demands of the employees as major part of the employees belong to the defense. However the Government would equally treat both the Civil and Defense employees on a single platform on Pay . But the Allowances would differ between them.
          Hope the Pay Commission would bring an acceptable Report by both ends without any anomoly and should provide clear directions to the Goverment on the Modifications of Pay in Future.

Logo


Union Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday said that the postal system was being developed on the lines of Digital India but assured that not a single employee would lose his job as a consequence.
"Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, the postal system is being developed on the lines of 'digital India'," Prasad said here at a function.
He said that it was a matter of pride that electronic transactions had now begun in post offices.
"I can assure that the postal department will take care of postal officials and they would not lose their jobs," Prasad added.
He said post-men and post office officials have to adapt to the latest technology.
"Post-men working in rural areas would be provided modern hand-held devices and post offices would be computerised," the minister said.
India Post has over 1.55 lakh post offices, of which more than 1.39 lakh are in rural areas.
