Postal Deptartment's deficit jumps 14% to Rs 6,259 crore in the year 2014 - 15

The deficit of Department of Posts (DoP) increased by 14.35 per cent to Rs 6,258.60 crore for fiscal 2014-15 due to increased staff costs.

The deficit stood at Rs 5,473.10 crore in 2013-14, the annual report of the department said.

Gross working expenditure stood at Rs 18,556.56 crore in 2014-15 as against Rs 16,796.71 crore in the preceding year.

"The increase was mainly due to payment of dearness allowance/annual increment, modified assured career progression, leave encashment during leave travel concession, cost of materials, fuel etc," the report said.

Total revenue earned including remuneration from savings bank and savings certificates in 2014-15 also increased 8.44 per cent to Rs 11,635.98 crore and the amount received from other ministries as agency charges (recoveries) was Rs 661.98 crore.

The total revenue for the year 2013-14 stood at Rs 10,730.42 crore and recoveries were to the tune of Rs 593.19 crore.

"During the financial year 2014-15, the deficit of the Department was Rs 6,258.60 crore against the previous year's deficit of Rs 5,473.10 crore, which is an increase of 14.35 per cent," the report added.

The Post Office provides postal services to the public through a large nationwide network. Besides providing purely postal services, post offices perform agency functions like saving bank, payment of pension, sale of cash certificate, among others, on behalf of other ministries of the government.

Empowered committee may hike the minimum wage recommended by 7th CPC

सातवें वेतन आयोग ने केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की न्यूनतम सैलरी 18,000 और अधिकतम 2,50,000 रु करने की सिफारिश की है

वित्त मंत्रालय के अधिकारियों के अनुसार सैलरी बढ़ाने पर जो वित्तीय बोझ बढ़ेगा, उसे उठाने के लिए सरकार तैयार है उम्मीद से बढ़कर सचिवों का समूह न्यूनतम सैलरी 21,000 और अधिकतम 2,70,000 रुपये करने की सिफारिश कर सकता है

केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों को जून के बाद राहत की खबर मिल सकती है। सातवें पे-कमीशन की सिफारिशों को अमल में लाने के लिए गठित सचिवों का समूह इस बारे में अपनी अंतिम रिपोर्ट 30 जून को दे सकता है। इसमें सबसे अहम बात यह है कि केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की न्यूनतम और अधिकतम सैलरी को लेकर सचिवों के समूह का रवैया काफी उदार रह सकता है।

सूत्रों के अनुसार सचिवों का समूह केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की न्यूनतम सैलरी 21,000 रुपये और अधिकतम सैलरी 2,70,000 रुपये की सिफारिश कर सकता है। जबकि 7वें पे-कमीशन ने केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की न्यूनतम सैलरी 18,000 रुपये और अधिकतम 2,50,000 रुपये करने की सिफारिश की है। मतलब है कि अगर सचिवों के समूह की सिफारिशें मान ली गईं तो केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों को उम्मीद से कहीं बेहतर सैलरी मिलेगी। सरकार ने कैबिनेट सेक्रेटरी पी के सिन्हा के नेतृत्व में सचिवों के समूह का गठन किया है। यह समूह 7वें पे-कमीशन की सिफारिशों का अध्ययन करने के बाद इन पर अपनी सिफारिशें और सुझाव देगा।

11 जून को अहम बैठक: सचिवों के समूह ने सभी केंद्रीय मंत्रालयों और विभागों से 7वें पे-कमीशन की सिफारिशों पर राय देने को कहा है। सभी मंत्रालयों और विभागों यह राय 11 जून से पहले सौंपनी है। 11 जून को अंतिम बैठक होगी और उसके बाद सचिवों का समूह 30 जून तक अपनी रिपोर्ट को फाइनल करेगा और सरकार को सौंपेगा। सूत्रों के अनुसार वित्त मंत्रालय भी चाहता है कि रिपोर्ट, जून या जुलाई तक उसको मिल जाए ताकि उसके पास पर इन सिफारिशों पर अंतिम फैसला लेने के लिए कम से एक महीने का समय हो। मंत्रालय के उच्चाधिकारियों के अनुसार सरकार केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की सैलरी में इजाफे की घोषणा त्योहारी सीजन से पहले करना चाहती है। इससे इकनॉमी को फायदा हो सकता है। अगर केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों के पास पैसा आएगा तो वह इसे त्योहारी सीजन में खर्च करेंगे। ऐसा करने से त्योहारी सीजन में मार्केट में रौनक बढ़ने की काफी संभावनाएं होंगी।

क्या है सरकार की मजबूरी/: स्मॉल सेविंग स्कीमों पर ब्याज दर कम करने से आम आदमी नाराज है। इसके बाद मजदूर संगठनों की नाराजगी के चलते सरकार को पीएफ पर ब्याज दरें बढ़ानी पड़ी हैं। ऐसे में सरकार अब केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की नाराजगी मोल नहीं लेना चाहती है। यही कारण है कि वह सचिवों के समूह की सिफारिशों पर उदारता के साथ विचार करेगी। केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों के संगठनों ने इस बात की चेतावनी दी है कि अगर सरकार ने केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की सैलरी बढ़ाने में किसी प्रकार की कंजूसी की तो वह विरोध प्रदर्शन करेंगे। वित्त मंत्रालय के उच्चाधिकारियों के अनुसार केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की सैलरी बढ़ाने पर जो वित्तीय बोझ बढ़ेगा, उसे उठाने के लिए सरकार तैयार है। सरकार इसके लिए अलग से 1 लाख करोड़ रुपये का प्रबंध करने में लगी है। विनिवेश और दूसरे तरीकों से जुटाए गए धन का इस्तेमाल इसके लिए किया जाएगा। पहले साल में इसका बोझ काफी होगा।

Financial impact due to 7th Pay Commission: Details of Rajya Sabha Q&A

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

MINISTRY OF  FINANCE

RAJYA SABHA

QUESTION NO  241

ANSWERED ON  26.04.2016

Requirement of growth in economy for sustaining the burden of wage increase

241 Shri A. K. Selvaraj

Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to satate :-

(a) whether it is a fact that India needs to grow by an additional 1-1.5 percentage points so that it can sustain the burden of wage increases and pass on more benefits to workers;

(b) if so, the details thereof;

(c) whether it is also a fact that there would be a burden of Rs. 1.02 lakh crore on account of implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission; and

(d) if so, the details thereof?

ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI JAYANT SINHA)

(a) and (b): The Gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices is the sum of compensation of employees including social contributions made by the employer (CE), operating Surplus and mixed income of the self-employed (OS/MI), consumption of fixed capital (CFC) and taxes net of subsidies on production. The share of compensation of employees stood at 33.6 per cent in the year 2014-15 (the latest year for which information is available), increasing from 32.9 per cent in 2012-13. Simultaneously, the growth rate of GVA at constant basic prices increased from 5.4 per cent in 2012-13 to 7.1 per cent in 2014-15. 

Among the broad sectors, public administration & defence had the highest share of compensation of employees, i.e., 85.0 per cent of the GVA at basic prices, in 2014-15. Higher wages/compensation of employees may have an impact on private final consumption and hence on GDP growth. At the same time, higher wages in public administration & defence may place added demand on the budgetary resources of the Government. On account of this possible two-way relationship, it is difficult to exactly calculate the GDP growth required to sustain the higher wage bill. 

(c) and (d): The Seventh Pay Commission, in its Report, has projected an additional financial implication on implementation of its recommendations, of Rs. 1,02,100 crore, which is about 0.7 per cent of the GDP at current market prices of Rs. 1,50,65,010 crore projected in the Budget 2016-17. The details are given below:

Two Critical Point Highlighted To Empowered Committee By Dorai On 7th CPC

In addition to the various genuine demands raised by the various Central Government Employees Federations/Associations with the Empowered Committee of Secretaries, I would like them to bring these 2 important crucial issues before the Empowered Committee of Secretaries for implementation:

1. RETENTION OF 3% INCREMENT IN VII CPC RECOMMENDATIONS IN CASE OF PROMOTION LEADS TO LOWER FINANCIAL BENEFITS BY FEW THOUSANDS THAN THE EXISTING BENEFITS UNDER 6TH CPC RECOMMENDATIONS:

The financial benefit would be much lower than what a government servant would be getting under VI CPC recommendation on promotion, because the existing benefit on promotion carry change in grade pay apart from 3% increase in Pay+Grade Pay. The following illustration shall show the huge difference:

Suppose an employee whose Pay is Rs.10400/- and the Grade pay is Rs. 2800/- totalling to Rs.13200(in the Pay band of 5200-20200), gets his next promotion to the Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- he will be entitled to the following hike in total remuneration under the existing VI CPC recommendation as a result of promotion::

Rs.13200 x 3% increment =Rs.400Difference in Grade Pay from Rs.2800 to Rs.4200= Rs.1400
Total increase of increment in basic pay and Grade Pay= Rs.1800
D.A. at 125% as on 1/1/2016 on Rs.1800 = Rs.2250
HRA at 30%(assuming X city) on Rs.1800 =Rs.540
Total monetary benefit = Rs.4590/-

Whereas the net monetary benefit under VII CPC recommendation, as a result of promotion in the above case will be much lower than the above illustration as shown under:

Equivalent Basic Pay for Rs.13200 come to Rs.33900 as per pay matrix

Rs.33900 x 3% increment =Rs.1017(placed at Rs.35,400 as per pay matrix in the next level)
Total difference Rs.35400 – Rs33900 =1500
D.A. at 0% as on 1/1/2016 on Rs.1500= 0
HRA at 24%(assuming X city) on Rs.1500 =Rs.360
Total monetary benefit = Rs.1860/-only as against the existing Rs.4590/- leading to shortage of Rs. 2730/-

• This is a big blunder committed by the VII Pay commission.
• Therefore the increment on promotion should be atleast 5 to 6% to bring the benefit of increment on promotion to the existing level.
• Whether increase of percentage for annual increment is considered or not, but increment of percentage for promotions definitely need to be implemented to bring the level of monetary benefit to the existing level.

2. NON RECOMMENDATION OF VII CPC REGARDING MERGER OF 50% OF D.A. WITH BASIC PAY WHEN D.A. CROSSES 50% IS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT:

The long standing demand of the central government employees for merger of 50% D.A with basic was not implemented by the government on the excuse that the VI CPC had not made such a proposal. Even the VII CPC is totally silent about this aspect. It appears no one has demanded the same before the VII CPC for consideration.

It is quite surprising that such a vital issue of non-recommendation of merger of D.A with basic pay when D.A crosses 50% is not being opposed by any central government associations or pointed out by the media. Had it been recommended by the VII CPC, the government shall definitely implement the same and the benefit of hike in salary as a result of merger of D.A with basic when it cross 50%, would be so vast that no government servant would crave for timely setting up of next VIII Central Pay commission.

Govt likely to implement 7th Pay Commission award around September-October

New Delhi: The Central government employees will have to wait till September-October to get higher salaries under the 7th Pay Commission.

As per a Financial Express report, government is expecting that higher salaries released around the festival period starting with Durga Puja and Diwali will boost consumption, which will have a multiplier effect on the economy. 

Though the employees will get arrears with retrospective effect from January 1, no retrospective arrears in allowances will be given. With the move, the exchequer would be able to save around Rs 11,000 crore. 

The commission had estimated the additional outgo in FY17 due to its award at R73,650 crore.

'Seventh pay commission fails to address woes of employees'

The seventh pay commission report has failed to address the welfare of employees, said president of confederation of central government employees and workers KKN Kutty.

Addressing a meeting on the seventh pay commission in the city on Sunday, Kutty slammed the centre for failing to look into the issues of the employees and warned that agitations would be launched to demand minimum pay as per the market prices.

He said that the commission had recommended that the minimum pay should be hiked from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000. However, considering the current market conditions, he said that minimum pay was not adequate. He said that a memorandum with 26 demands had been submitted to the centre. He warned that massive protests will taken out from September onwards if the government failed to address the issues of employees in the seventh pay commission.

Government employees as good as those in private sector: Suresh Prabhu

NEW DELHI: Emphasising on rewarding performers to improve performance, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu today said government employees do not lack talent and they are as good as those working in the private sector.

Addressing a large number of civil servants in a function here, he said there is a need to create a system where people will perform with all their ability.

"I do not think that getting people from outside or from private sector will solve all our problems. Also I am not convinced that government lacks any talent. What I am convinced about is the commitment of the people to work despite biggest challenges.

"It is not the private or public sector which is the solution. The solution lies in creating the organisation with the good people and at the same time working with the system. The systems are very important. Therefore we need to look at the system as a whole so that people will have the ability to perform well," Prabhu said inaugurating 10th civil services day here. 

He said there is a need to identify performers and suitably reward them. "How do you get the best of talents available within the country in the system? That is something we need to think about. How do you reward a good performer. Today there is nothing like rewarding a performer. 

"You have to think of a system where a good performer is properly identified. They get properly rewarded. They are properly promoted and those who are not doing good they need not be thrown out but how to actually make them doable that is the challenge," he said during the function being attended by senior officials of central government ministries and state governments.

Prabhu said people in the government are as good or as better as those working outside the government. "The challenge is how to use that huge human capital and how to harness it at the time when challenges are mounting," the Minister said.

"We need to develop a system where our delivery is better or at least at par with citizen expectations. Need to build systems and teams that can address today's challenges and future needs as well," Prabhu said.

He said no one can deny that the country has not done progress. "No one can say that nothing has been done in the country. We have done progress and we should be proud of that," Prabhu said.

The Minister hoped that the India will become world's largest economy in some years. "It is a matter of time whether it is 20 years, 25 years or it may be 30 years. There is no doubt about the fact that we will be one of the largest economy in the world," he said.

Appeal from CPMG on Dharna at CO on 22/4/2016

Sir,

        Kindly refer to  your  letter No. Adhdra Pradesh/PJCA/2016   dated 06.04.2016 on the above mentioned subject.

       It is to  bring to your notice that  as per Directorate vide letter No.46-12/2015-Tech dt 05.02.2016, Circles are delegated with the power of up gradation of NSP1 Bandwidth for D&E class offices to 512 kbps (minimum bandwidth as per national policy). Accordingly the feasible 2050 locations bandwidth upgradation approval is given to M/S SIFY.  Out of which SIFY has upgraded the Bandwidth in respect of 2011 locations. Remaining 39 locations are pending for want of issuance of WAN acceptance by the Divisions. Consequently Directorate vide letter No.46-12/2015-Tech dt 15.03.2016 has approved the upgradation of NSP2 to next higher level in 196 locations, where NSP1 is TNF.  In these locations, NSP2 existing bandwidth is 128 kbps, hence the upgradation is to be done to a minimum of 512 kbps instead of 256 kbps as approved by Directorate. This has been taken up with Directorate vide this office letter No. EDP/PMU/NI implementation/2014-15 dated 12.04.2016.    In this regard, kindly find the attachment of all class D & E locations which are apgraded to 512 Kbps on NSP1.

 I am directed by the Competent Authority to request to not resort to proposed action as it will demoralize the staff and give negative message to public.
