LATEST NEWS

TAKE-HOME SALARY WILL BE LESS

10/04

A news item appeared in media is reproduced hereunder. All central government staff (except perhaps the Group D) will get very negligible amount as hike in their salary if the proposal is implemented. At the same time, all deductions will be based on the full hike. Net result will be that the "take-home" salary will be lesser than  they get now. somebody concerned may please calculate and tell the fact.

News Item

7th Pay Commission – 50% of Salary Increase Could be by way of Bonds – Increase in government employee wages and pension expenditure on account of seventh pay commission recommendations is not fully provided for in the Budget.

The govt is considering a proposal under which 50% of of higher income staff under the 7th Pay Commission will be compulsorily invested in bank bonds. The proceeds will be used to recapitalise banks without additional pressure on the fiscal.

While this will result in less cash in the hands of higher-income employees, as a sweetener they will get income tax rebate on the amount invested. Those wanting to invest more than 50% to save tax will be allowed to do so. The Bank Recapitalisation Scheme, as this proposal is being called, will be voluntary for employees with lower salaries (those in the Rs 5,200-20,200 bracket) and pensioners.

A finance ministry official confirmed that preliminary discussions around this proposal were held at a meeting on Thursday, but no decision on its implementation was taken. “The issue was discussed. We are looking at all options,” he said.

Dear friends,It is surprising that a land mark judgement delivered by the Supreme 

Court of India on 01 07 2015,        from Google Blog  conveyed by Sri. V.Ramarao

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN RETIRED BANKERS GOOGLE BLOG - Dear friends,It is surprising that a land mark judgement delivered by the Supreme Court of India on 01 07 2015, Civil Appeal no. 1123 of 2015 has gone unnoticed and except for a brief letter from Shri S R Sen Gupta to IBA, no other union has taken any steps. The salient features of the judgement:1. The bench has authoritatively ruled that Pension is a right and the payment of it does not depend upon the discretion of the Government. Pension is governed by rules and a Government Servant coming within those rules is entitled to claim pension.2.The judgement has recognised that the revision of pension and revision of pay scales are INSEPARABLE.3.The bench has reiterated that on revision the Basic pension cannot be less than 50% of the Basic Pension in the minimum of the Pay Band in the revised scale corresponding to the pre-revised scale.4.The government CANNOT take a plea of financial burden to deny legitimate dues of the pensioners.5.The Government SHOULD AVOID unwarranted litigation and not to encourage any litigation for the sake of litigation.6. When pension is upheld to be a right and NOT A BOUNTY, as a corollary to the averment that revision of pension and revision of pay scales are INSEPARABLE, upgradation of pension is also a RIGHT AND NOT A BOUNTY.THE JUDGEMENT IS BASED ON THE DECISION ON  D S NAKARA CASE.The above details are available in the latest issue of Canara Bank Retired Officer's Association Circular no 3/2016 dated 1st August 2015. The judgement is very clear and I wonder how no one has noticed the important aspects and why no one has taken up the matter with the IBA/Govt.The pronouncement of the Court becomes law and any deviation/non compliance attracts contempt of court. Why no one has reacted to the judgement is surprising and perplexing

SRI. ANANTHA KUMAR DID IT AGAIN

OUR MEETING WITH SECRETARY, TELECOM

06/04

Com P. Gangadhara Rao, Dy.GS was continuously taking efforts to meet Shri Ananthakumar, Hon. Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers either at Bangalore or at New Delhi. He, alongwith Com. R Changappa, Karnataka Circle Secretary, met Shri Ananthakumar in Bangalore on 26-3-2015. The Minister made over the case of 78.2 to his Special Officer saying that “it is the most genuine case.”

The relentless efforts made by Com. Gangadhara Rao in continuation of the Bangalore meeting had its desired result. Ultimately a meeting was fixed with Shri Ananthakumar in his New Delhi office on 5-4-2016.

Com R L Kapoor, our Legal Committee Member was requested over phone to go to the Minister's office at the appointed time which he did. RLK met Hon. Minister Shri Ananthakumar and apprised him the present position on 78.2.

Immediately Shri Ananthakumar contacted Shri J S Deepak IAS, Secretary, Telecom and fixed a meeting with him at 6 PM on the same day itself. Accordingly Kapoor met Secretary, Telecom at about 6.30 PM and explained the demand. After hearing the explanation, Secretary, Telecom informed that he is yet to go through the file. When Kapooorji insisted, Secretary, Telecom asked him to contact exactly after a week's time.

Nobody else could meet the new Secretary, Telecom so far. It is possible for us only due to the effective intervention of Shri Ananthakumar once again and we are thankful to him. We hope that the Secretary, Telecom would clear it within a week without any further hurdles.

Let us hope that the indefinite waiting for justice will end now.
