Cabinet likely to finalise central govt employees' allowances next week
Dear Comrades,
The Union Cabinet is likely to take a call on the allowance structure of central government employees soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his four-nation foreign visit. This could come to pass on June 7, media reports suggest.
The recommendations of Committee on Allowances, led by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa, were to be taken up in a meeting of the Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) scheduled on June 1.
The meeting focused on House Rent Allowance (HRA) rates. The 7th Central Pay Commission had brought down the HRA to 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively, which had the central government employees miffed.
The pay panel had also suggested that the HRA rates should be revised to 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent when DA crossed 50 per cent, and further increased to 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent when DA went beyond 100 per cent. This is the first time a Pay Commission has called for a decline in HRA rates, central government employee unions have claimed.

Sub: - Remuneration to be paid to the GraminDakSevaks engaged as substitutes in short-term vacancies of Postmen, Mailgaurd and MTS.
Ref: - Directorate’s Memo No. 7-9/2016-PCC dated 26.04.2017.
Sir,
Your kind attention is drawn to para-3 of the above referred OM dated 26.04.2017.
Para – 3 – “In future, GDS who are willing to work as substitute will be paid at the minimum pay of the respective levels of the Pay Matrix barring other allowances like HRA, Transport Allowance etc. with effect from 01.01.2016.”
The words, “in future “appearing at the beginning of the above para creates an impression that enhanced substitute wage is eligible from date of issue of the orders only, whereas the words “with effect from 01.01.2016” appearing in the last line of the same para gives an impression that the revised substitute wage should be paid from 01.01.2016.
As the minimum pay of the Postmen, Mailguard and MTS is revised with effect from 01.01.2016, the substitutes shall be paid the revised wages with effect from 01.01.2016 itself on the principle of equal pay for equal work. But the framing of the para – 3 has created confusion as the meaning of the whole para is ambiguous. As a result many lower level authorities had refused to pay revised substitute wages with effect from 01.01.2016.
It is requested to issue necessary clarification removing the ambiguity appearing in para- 3 of the OM.
Yours faithfully,
(R. N. Parashar)
