What is the connection between the 7th Pay Commission and Dearness Allowance?
Multiplication Factor expected to play a crucial role in calculating new revised basic pay for Central Government employees in 7th Central Pay Commission.”
With 16 months having passed since constituting the 7th Central Pay Commission, speculations are running wild among Central Government employees as to the changes that await them. Multiplication factor is one of the main reasons for the intense guesswork.
A middle-aged employee of the Central Government is likely to get an increment of Rs. 500 to 600 once every six months, due to increase of additional Dearness Allowance. In the current scenario, the amount is barely enough to meet unexpected auto-rickshaw expenses for a trip or two to work. But, it is not
the DA that the employees are eagerly waiting for.
The total percentage of Dearness Allowance plays a very important role in calculating the New Basic Pay as per the 7th Pay Commission. The revised basic pay is expected to come into effect from January 1, 2016.
Dearness Allowance, which is currently at 113%, is expected to rise by two additional installments (01.07.2015 and 01.01.2016), let’s assume that these will add up to 10%. Then the total increase could become 123% by January 1, 2016.
Multiplication Fitment Formula is going to be based on the Dearness Allowance percentage on 01.01.2016.
The 6th Pay Commission recommended that the Multiplication Factor be fixed at 1.74 in its report and also recommended that the 40% from the maximum Pay Band of pre revised scale took an average and granted it as Grade Pay.
When CG Employees Federations pointed out the flaw in the calculation of the Multiplication Factor, it was increased to 1.86 by Central Government.
If the same method is applied to calculate the Multiplication Factor now, it could be as high as 2.23. In other words, let us assume the Basic Pay, as of 01.01.2016, as 100%. If you add Basic Pay and Dearness Allowance, 100% + 123% = 223%. This number is being taken for calculations as 2.23.
If the Dearness Allowance for the two additional installments adds up to more or less than the expected 10%, it would affect the Multiplication Factor number. This is the reason giving more importance for Dearness Allowance.
Let’s understand the importance of multiplication factor in pay fixation with an example.
At the time of 6th CPC pay fixation, the last drawn basic pay under 5th CPC was multiplied by 1.86 and rounded off. The 6th CPC was also recommended that a new entity named Grade Pay was created and a sum total of this was the new Basic Pay.
For example,
Pay fixation for a basic pay of Rs.3500(S5 :3050-75-3950-80-4590)
Basic Pay x Multiplication factor(3500 x 1.86) : 6510
Corresponding Grade Pay : 1900
Basic Pay : 8410 (6510 + 1900)
5th CPC basic pay = 3500
6th CPC basic pay = 8410(Multiplication factor 1.86=6510 + Corresponding Grade Pay=1900)

CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS NATIONAL CONVENTION OF WORKERS WAS HELD ON 26.05.2015 DECLARATION.
The National Convention Calls upon the Central Trade Unions All India General Strike on 2nd September, 2015.
Monday, May 18, 2015
Modi Govt. should not breathe safe
Com. K Ragavendran
Ex- Secretary General, NFPE
( Through facebook - AIPRPA CHQ )
Two Strikes that were expected to shake the Central Government are deferred and the Government got the reprieve! The indefinite strike by the entirety of CG Employees that was much anticipated after the strike ballots of Railway and Defense Employees Federations as well as the Confederation and the declaration of the National Convention of all JCM Organisations stand deferred to November 2015!
The much awaited declaration of strike at the rally of the CG Employees on 28th April before the Parliament was not rousing the employees as it contemplates the strike only on 23rd November 2015, when the 7th CPC would have already submitted its recommendations to the Government. Any issue of Interim Relief, Merger of DA from 1.1.2011, Inclusion of GDS to 7th CPC etc would have been obsolete by that time as the pay commission is going to merge the DA beyond 100 points from a prospective date. The issues at hand and the issues that may come to the fore after the recommendations of the pay commission may not be identical always.
Secondly the proposed indefinite strike by Postal JCA from 6th May also stands deferred after the meeting with the Communications Minister on the eve of the commencement of strike that resulted in deferment of the action.
The assurances from the Minister are accepted in good spirit by the Postal JCA. Let the Government understand that it has to take the simmering discontent among the CG Employees as well as among the Postal Employees seriously. Instead of breathing safe due to taking back of the industrial action by both the sections and as usual ignore the assurances, it should try to settle the contentious issues urgently as the two and a half lakhs of GDS in the Postal Department are on the verge of frustration!
It is ironical that this Government also blindly follows the interpretations and stand of the earlier Governments on the question of status of GDS. The fast track action by Modi Government to remove the thorns around the land acquisition act to help the corporates is absent in the question of removing the hardship perpetrated to GDS for more than 100 years!
Com.B.G.Tamhankar Ex-President of NFPE & AIPEU Group - C, CHQ no more
Com.B.G.Tamhankar Ex-President of NFPE & AIPEU Group - C, CHQ breathed his last today (17.05.2015) at 07.30 AM. He was severely ill for last many days.
This is the second biggest shock to the entirety of trade union fraternity after the sad demise of Com. S K Vyasji, earlier this year. Even after his retirement, Com Tamhankar remained active in union activities and was attending all programmes conducted by our CHQ / NFPE. I had interacted with him for the last time during the workshop on 7th CPC conducted by our CHQ in New Delhi in May, 2014. He has compiled some useful guide books for S B Counter P As and Supervisors. He will be remembered for ever for his contributions towards the working class, his simplicity and soberness .

Let the departed soul rest in eternal peace.

Revise Postmen / Mail Guard / MTS Recruitment Rules. Stop open market recruitment. Restore seniority quota promotion:-
This item was earlier discussed in the JCM (DC) and it is assured by Secretary (Posts) that the Recruitment Rules will be reviewed after one or two Recruitment / Promotional exam are over, as DOP&T may not approve immediate revision of Recruitment Rules already approved by it. Now more than two Postmen/MG/ MTS recruitment / examination is over and hence it is requested to take action to revise the Recruitment Rules and stop open quota recruitment. Entire vacancies may be earmarked for GDS and Casual Labourers as existed in the pre-revised Recruitment Rules.
|
As decided in earlier JCM, the said RRs are to be relooked after seeing the outcome of one or two exams. The process is still going on. Most of the Circles have completed one round of recruitment process for direct recruitment quota, and others on their way to completing the same. Subsequently, pre-appointment formalities, trainings etc. would require to be completed in case of newly recruited officials. Therefore, Circles need time to judge the capabilities and skills of these officials and furnish proper and accurate feedback thereto to this Directorate for further consideration in the matter. Hence, time is not ripe to revisit the said RRs.
As regards RRs of Postman, open market quota of 25% has already been given to GDS. Now, as per the existing RRs, only the unfilled vacancies, which could not be filled by the MTS/GDS, go to open market for filling up.
