National Anomaly Committee Meeting – Is it to be held just for an agenda of four items?

National Anomaly Committee Meeting – Is it to be held just for an agenda of four items?

NFIR has confirmed in its official website through a DoPT order(O.M.No.11/1/2015-JCA, dated 12.5.2015) that a meeting of National anomaly committee would be held on 29th of this month. It has been mentioned in the order that all the members of the Staff Side members of National Anomaly Committee are being invited to attend this meeting.

National Council JCM functions as an organisation that raises its voice reiterating the demands of the forty lakh employees of the Central Government. It comprises representatives from all ministries/departments.

Normally, the anomaly committee meeting is being convened to discussion on rectifying the anomalies in the salary of the employees. Thus far, 5 meetings of the NAC have been held after the constitution of the sixth pay commission. Thanks to these meetings, many discrepancies in the salary scale have been successfully rectified. Particularly, grant of one increment in pre-revised pay scale on 1.1.2006 as a onetime measure in respect of all those employees whose next increment fell between 1.2.2006 to 30.6.2006 which was a significant resolution of the issue raised by the Staff Side. But, problems common to all the employees, created after the constitution of the Sixth pay commission still remain unresolved.

Demands considered justifiable:
1. There is no benefit after the introduction of ‘Grade pay structure’, on the other hand, discrepancies have appeared. The hierarchy system that was in vogue over years split into two segments – promotional hierarchy, grade pay hierarchy. Those who were promoted through MACP should get promotion on the basis of promotional hierarchy.

2. 5,000, 5,500, 6,500 were combined. For the highest figure 6,500, after calculating 1.86, it should be fixed as 12090 instead of 9300.

3. The recommendations of the Sixth pay commission came into effect from 1st January, 2006, but all the allowances were disbursed only from 1 September 2008.

4. The additional Dearness Allowance percentage should be calculated as the important base index factor of 115.12 instead of 115.76.

5. The Sixth pay commission says that the Grade Pay was given on the basis of calculation in which 40% was taken as the mark. But, in certain cases (PB-3, PB-4) had been violated. 50% should be the basis for all categories.

6. 6th CPC has recommended specific entry level pay for Direct Recruits (DRs). This has resulted in employees who were appointed in service prior to the DRs and got promoted earlier getting less pay as compared to their counterparts recruited directly and who joined after 01.01.2006.

7. Commutation of additional Pension or Revision of pension in respect of post 31.12.2005 retirees.

8. 15 Years Period fixed for Commutation is Arbitrary/unjustified. etc., etc.,

In a situation where discrepancies of this nature still remain unresolved, the announcement about the convening of the National Anomaly Committee meeting to discuss an agenda mentioning only four items has created confusion & questions in the minds of the Central Government employees.

The meeting is being convened after a gap of three years.

What is the fate of the demands that were discussed at the meeting held on 17 July 2012?

Will all the items in the agenda of previous meetings be discussed at this meeting?

Annual increment for Central Government employees as per 6th CPC..?

Calculation of annual increment for Central Government employees as per 6th CPC..?

We explain with some illustrations…
The increment is an increase in pay for each year in a particular date. As per 6th CPC the annual increment has been granted on 1st July of every year and the qualifying period for earning an increment is six months on 1st July. One increment is equal to 3% (three per cent) of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of ten.

As per the Rule No.13 of CCS(Revised Pay) Rules 2008, “In the case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure, paise should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of 10. To illustrate, if the amount of increment comes to Rs.1900.70 paise, then the amount will be rounded off to Rs.1900; if the amount of increment works out to be Rs.1901, then it will be rounded off to Rs.1910.”

And finally the increment amount will be added to the existing pay in the pay band.

For example :

An employee’s pay in the pay band is Rs.10,230 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,230 + 2,800 = 13,030

His increment will be calculated as follows…
13,030 x 3% = 390.90
after rounded off to ten, it will be 390 only.

Whereas, the another employee’s pay in the pay band is Rs.10240 and his grade pay Rs.2800, his basic pay = 10,240 + 2,800 = 13,040
His increment will be calculated as follows…
13,040 x 3% = 391.20
then it will be rounded off to Rs.400.

As per 6th CPC - ‘Increment Day’ for Central Government employees - 1st JULY of Every Year

1st July of every year – ‘Increment Day’ for Central Government employees

As per the 6th Pay Commission CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2008, provisions of Rule 10 with effect from 1.1.2006, uniform date of increment was implemented for all Central Government employees i.e. 1st July of every year. One more condition for getting increment is provided in this rule, completing six months in the same pay as on 1st of July are only eligible to be granted the annual increment. Who have not rendered six months period of service as on first of a year will not be eligible to draw increment on that day and their date of increment will fall 12 months later on the next 1st of July.

Today is the ‘Increment Day’ for all Central Government employees. If the increment day falls on Sundays or holidays, the next working day will be taken as resumption day. In case of an employee taken leave 2.7.2012, his increment benefit will be granted only from the date on which he resumes duty and not from the first of July.

There would be rare chance to occur such problems to take leave on increment day. But whereas, better to avoid to take leave on first working day of any year. Normally most in the Government organisations, promotion orders are not publishing on the date of promotion. If the promotion date falls on first January, there should be condition on assumption that the promotee should be present for the duty on that day of promotion. If not, the promotion is to be granted only from the date of resumption of duty on return from leave. According to this rule, qualifying period for earning an increment is six months on 1st July, the date of next increment will postponed to the next year.

In the light of the above situation, if the first day of any year falls on Sundays or Holidays, the Dopt clarified that the ‘Government servants who join posts on the 1st working day of the year will be treated to have completed six months of service on 1st of July of that year for the purpose of granting them annual increment on that day’.

Every Central Government employee should know the calculation of Annual or Promotion increment, one increment is equal three percent of the sum of the Pay in the Pay Band plus Grade Pay and it should be calculated and rounded off to the next multiple of ten.

Annual Increment calculation :-

An employee’s basic pay of Rs.12,030 including Grade Pay of Rs.2,800, his increment fixation will be fixed as follows…

Basic Pay including Grade Pay : Rs.12,030

3% increment for Rs.12,030 and it rounded off to the next multiple of ten : Rs. 360

His Basic Pay as fixed on 1st July : Rs.12,390

[Note that in the case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure of 6th CPC, paise should be ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to next multiple of ten.]
