Office Memorandum

Subject:- Incorporation of Aadhaar number in fresh Pension Payment Orders (PPOs).

1. Attention is invited to CPAO OM No. CPAO/Tech/Jeevan Pramaan/2015-16/1770 dated 07.03.2016 (Annex-I) and D.O. letter dated 30.07.2015 from CGA to all Secretaries (Civil Ministries) regarding incorporation of Aadhaar number in the fresh PPOs (Annex-II). In this context, it is observed that progress in incorporation of Aadhaar numbers in the fresh PPOs has been very low. For the period July, 2015 to March, 2016 out of 25608 total fresh PPOs received in CPAO, only in 1907 (7.45%) cases Aadhaar number was mentioned.
2. In view of Aadhaar Cards numbers crossing 100 crones marks and implementation of Aadhaar linked Biometric Attendance System in most of the central government offices, it is very unlikely that a retiring government servant will not have Aadhaar number. Further, DOPT vide its OM No. Z-20025/9/2014-Estt (AL) dated-03.11.2014 (Annex-Ill) had requested all Ministries/Departments to ensure that the Service Books of all employees have an entry of Aadhaar number.
3. In view of above, all Pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAs are once again requested to take up the matter with JS (Admn) and Heads of Offices of respective Ministries/ Departments to arrange for providing Aadhaar number in all pension papers to be submitted to concerned PAOs to enable them to incorporate the same in PPO booklets.

Modi Government implement 7cpc near

Central Government employees must be wondering why Centre is taking so much time to implement Seventh Pay Commission recommendations.

It's already four months since Pay Commission had submitted its report to Finance Ministry to give final touch to it.

Though, Modi Government recently dropped enough hint that it will implement increment process soon, but no particular time frame was given to the Central staff.

Here are the possible reasons why Government is taking time to implement the hike.

Government needs to arrange fundAs Rs 1.02 lakh crore is needed to implement whole increment process, Centre needs to have proper strategy for the same.

At a time when OROP's expenditures is already taking toll on the exchequer, pay Commission will put extra burden on the government budget.


Grievances of various stakeholders

Government needs to address grievances of various stakeholders including government staff and Army men before taking final call on the same.

While Babus are unhappy with minimum basic pay, Defence personnels say that they shouln't be treated at par with their civilian counterparts in terms of salary and allowances.


Assembly elections

As model code of conduct is in place, Government doesn't want to take risk by announcing implementation date. Centre doesn't want to displease voters at a time when poll process is going on in many crucial states. It is being believed that notification for the 'increment proposal' will be issued once State election will be over.


Procedural delay

Pay Commission will be implemented after cabinet will give it a final approval. Currently, the Implementation cell of the Empowered Committee of Secretaries is trying to address various issues with it. After giving final touch to the report, Empowered Committee will send recommendations to PMO for its nod. Once PMO will through the report, it will be placed before the Cabinet.
