Central Government Employees and Workers. Karnataka Branch
Confederation of Central Government
Employees and Workers, Karnataka Branch, raises a valid question to the effect
that why the pay of Central Government Employees should not be revised every
five years similar wage policies of PSU Employees and Bank Employees, which
gets revised every five years.
Moreover, recently Govt has taken a
decision to revise pension of Ex-Servicemen once in five years as a part of one
rank one pension scheme. Taking this decision in to account Central Government
Employees are entitled to revision of pay and allowances once every five years.
Confederation’s article is as
follows
Now the Government has announced the
One Rank One Pension Scheme for Defence veterans. Its Highlights are as
follows.
· The
benefit will be given with effect from 1st July, 2014. Arrears will be paid in
four half-yearly instalments. All widows, including war widows, will be paid
arrears in one instalment.
· To
begin with, OROP would be fixed on the basis of calendar year
2013. Pension will be re-fixed for all pensioners retiring in the same rank
and with the same length of service as the average of minimum and maximum
pension in 2013. Those drawing pensions above the average will be protected.
* In future, the pension
would be re-fixed every 5 years.
Now we should expect the 7th CPC
report to be submitted in next three months( after Bihar Elections)
Now the Defence veterans are now
having five years wage revision. The government has allowed Central Public
Sector units to revise wages of all non-executive employees every five years
instead of 10 years. Bank employees are having five years wage
revision.
Why not Central Government employees
have the same five years wage revision provided to others and have a permanent
wage review body. Now our demand of Central Government employees by the
staff side JCM for date of effect from Jan 2014 is fully justified by
Government issuing orders for others for five years wage revision as in case
of Defence veterans, Bank employees and Central Public Sector.
