To check overstay, Centre cuts deputation allowance of bureaucrats

To check overstay, Centre cuts deputation allowance of bureaucrats

Bureaucrats on central deputation abroad and within the country will not get deputation allowance beyond five years of such tenure

Norms allow a maximum of seven-year, in break-up of five plus two years in usual cases, central deputation term for officers to work outside their state cadre or abroad.

The admissibility of deputation (duty) allowance would be up to the fifth year, if the deputationist has opted to draw such monetary benefit, an order issued recently by the Personnel Ministry said.

The decision has been taken to check overstay of central deputation period by officers including those in Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) among others, officials said.
The move comes after the government noticed a few cases where officers central deputation tenure was being extended, mainly while they were working abroad, by ministries concerned beyond the maximum period of seven years citing "exigencies", they said.

The Personnel Ministry has already issued a directive to warn officers that they may lose their job for overstaying on foreign posting.

In case of deputation within the same station, the allowance will be paid at the rate of 5 per cent of basic pay subject to a maximum of Rs 2,000 per month; and in other cases, it will be payable at the rate of 10 per cent of the employee's basic pay subject to a maximum of Rs 4,000 per month.

7th Pay Commission: Why to wait for two years?

7th Pay Commission: Why to wait for two years?

Sir,
The Central Govt has implemented 7th Pay Commission recommendation regarding the hike in the pay, salary of the Central Govt employees, pensioners and family pensioners w.e.f January 1,2016 besides releasing 2 percent DA w.e.f July 1, 2016.

The J&K Govt has also hiked the salary and perks of ministers, and legislators. Besides, our neighbouring states have also implemented 7th CPC recommendations in favour of their respective Govt PSU employees and pensioners etc.

But, it is unfortunate that the J&K State Govt, PSU employees, pensioners and family pensioners who also deserve the hike in pay and pension have been asked to wait for two years for implementation of 7th CPC recommendations by none other than the present Chief Minister J&K State. One fails to understand as to why the employees and the pensioners have to wait for two years for their due. Why does not the State raise the demand of money with the Central Govt for implementation of 7th CPC recommendations in favour of the State Govt employees, pensioners and family pensioners.

Any way, I hope that the J&K State Govt will kindly realize that when they (legislators/ministers) themselves deserve the hike in salary; pay and perks of the State Govt, employees and pensioners also deserve and need it as well. Many Govt Employees and Pensioners Association have urged the J&K State Govt for implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations including EJAC(Q) personally meeting the Chief Minister, Finance Minister J&K State and through print and electronic media by the undersigned also but all in vain till date.

Therefore, it is requested to the Chief Minister, Finance Minister J&K State not to wait for two years but to implement the 7th CPC recommendations in favour of the J&K State Govt PSU/Employees and Pensioners at an earliest in toto/at par with the Central Government Employees.

Joint Consultative Machinery for Central Government Employees
13-C, Ferozshah Road, New Delhi – 110001
E Mail: nc.jchm.np@gmail.com

No. NC-JCM/2016

Dated:- 1st March, 2016

To
The Hon’ble Finance Minister,
Government of India,
North Block,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Deduction of Income Tax on withdrawal of P.F. 60%

We are deeply shocked to learn about imposing of tax on withdrawal of P.F.(Provident Fund) which is our hard earn money which used to be utilized in all emergencies for medical, educational, building of house, marriage of daughters etc.

Imposition of tax on that had created all round agitation among govt. employees.

On behalf of National Council/JCM it is very humbly requested that this tax proposal should be withdrawn immediately to stop the mental agony of government employees.

I hope Central Govt. will not give any chance of serious agitation on this issue and will not disturb industrial peace as a whole.
Thanking you ,

Yours faithfully,
sd/-
