Central government employees......-7th cpc

7th CPC – Inflation could offset Salary Hike for

Central Government Employees…

The hike in salary for Central government employees and pensioners may turn out to be a short-lived joy given that rising prices of many commodities could negate the monetary benefits. The spike in inflation has been sharp in the past few months and could spell trouble for the Narendra Modi government also, besides disappointing 47 lakh employees and about 53 lakh pensioners.

Food inflation has been rising at a fast clip even before the impact of the salary hike could be felt. The disbursement of salary arrears for seven months happened only during the end of July while pensioners are yet to get their dues since the notification for retirees was issued only this month.

However, price rise has already gathered momentum in the past two months, with retail (CPI) inflation hitting a two-year high of 6.07 percent for July. Food price inflation rose even higher, to 8.35 percent. The spike was 27.53 percent for pulses, 21.91 percent for sugar and 14.06 percent for vegetables.

The data released on Tuesday shows that wholesale inflation (WPI) also scaled a 24-month high of 3.55 percent. Here too, food prices rose at a higher clip than the rest of the items forming part of the index. The wholesale prices of food articles climbed 11.82 percent on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, with the sharpest spike seen in pulses (35.76 percent) and vegetables (28.05 percent). Sugar prices skyrocketed 32.33 percent, YoY.

With the government yet to decide on quantum of hike in allowances, it is difficult to gauge the inflation trajectory once the disbursements start, apparently in November this year.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has repeatedly raised concern over the effect of pay commission outgo on inflation.

“The prospects for inflation excluding food and fuel are more uncertain; if the current softness in crude prices proves to be transient and as the output gap continues to close, inflation excluding food and fuel may likely trend upwards and counterbalance the benefit of the expected easing of food inflation. In addition, the full implementation of the recommendations of the 7th central pay commission (CPC) on allowances will affect the magnitude of the direct effect of house rents on the CPI,” RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said in his third bi-monthly monetary policy statement on August 9.

For those who are employed in the private sector or in the unorganised sector, the impact will be even sharper as they are unlikely to get the cover enjoyed by government employees. If the clamor among state government employees picks up, their (state governments’) fiscal calculations are bound to take a hit. For poll-bound states such as Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Punjab, it will be a tough balancing act, of keeping employees happy and ensuring fiscal prudence.

Minimum pension of retired Central government staff

7th Pay Commission: Minimum Pension of Retired Central Government Staff Up 157%…

Retired central government employees will now get a minimum pension of Rs 9,000, up 157.14 per cent from the current Rs 3,500, following implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations.

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has notified acceptance of the 7th pay panel’s recommendations for the pensioners.

The ceiling of gratuity has also been enhanced from the existing Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh. The Commission had also recommended the ceiling on gratuity to be raised by 25 per cent whenever Dearness Allowance rises by 50 per cent, a proposal which has been accepted by the government.

There are about 58 lakh central government pensioners.

The amount of pension shall be subject to a minimum of Rs 9,000 and the maximum pension would be Rs 1,25,000 – which is 50 per cent of the highest pay in the government, an order issued by the ministry said.

The highest pay in the government is Rs 2,50,000 with effect from January 1, 2016.

The maximum limit of retirement gratuity and death gratuity shall be Rs 20 lakh, the order said. The ceiling on gratuity will increase by 25 per cent whenever the dearness allowance rises by 50 per cent of the basic pay, it said.

There has been a substantial increase in payment of ex-gratia lump sum compensation for civil and defence forces personnel, payable to the next of kin.

A payment of Rs 25 lakh, from existing Rs 10 lakh, will be given in case of death occurring due to accidents in course of performance of duties and those attributed to acts of violence by terrorists, anti-social elements etc.

Deaths occurring in border skirmishes and action against militants, terrorists, extremists, sea pirates and while on duty in the specified high altitude, unaccessible border posts, on account of natural disasters or extreme weather conditions will now entail a compensation of Rs 35 lakh instead of the earlier Rs 15 lakh.

Instead of Rs 20 lakh, an amount of Rs 45 lakh will be paid as ex-gratia to the kin in case of death of a government employee during enemy action in war or other war-like engagements, and “death occurring during evacuation of Indian nationals from a war-torn zone in foreign country”, the Personnel Ministry’s order said.

A Committee of Secretaries has been constituted to examine the pay panel’s recommendations on fixed medical allowance and constant attendance allowance.

The Commission had not recommended enhancement of fixed medical allowance, which is Rs 500 per month, whereas on constant attendance allowance, it suggested that it may be increased by a factor of 1.5 i.e. to Rs 6,750 per month. The allowance needs further increase by 25 per cent each time DA rises by 50 per cent, it had said.

These recommendations are to be examined by a committee comprising finance secretary and secretary (expenditure) as chairman, and secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Posts, Health & Family Welfare, Personnel & Training and Chairman, Railway Board as members.

Till a final decision is taken based on the recommendations of the Committee, fixed medical and constant attendance allowances shall be paid at existing rates, the Personnel Ministry has said.

The revised provisions shall apply to government servants who retire or die in harness on or after January 1, 2016.
