The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,
Government of India,
South Block, NEW DELHI 11001
Respected Hon’ble
Prime Minister,
At the outset, we extend Good wishes to the Government. We are happy the 7th Central Pay Commission team came to Bangalore, and gave us an audience on August 24 to present our views on different subjects. Around 20 organisations representing different sections of serving employees and pensioners met the Commission, in groups. The interaction was very good. The Chairman and the members heard us all very well and gave convincing answers.
2. One subject of
immediate interest is the Grant of Interim Relief. We stated that the very constitution
of the Commission was as a sequel to the proposal of the Planning Commission
about two/three years back. This meant that the Commission gives out its
Recommendations within 2016, and thereupon the Govt could take its Decisions
before 2016. This also meant particularly that the Government would not face a
situation, as it did after the 6th CPC, wherein it had to pay out large sums to
the serving staff and pensioners, which it did in two instalments, in 2008-09.
In this very
background, to reduce payment of large sums in 2016, the concept of Interim
Relief has been in place. A similar Pay Commission has recommended it in the past, and the Govt
has accepted such a recommendation, in the interest of the serving and retired
staff. The State Governments have sanctioned the Interim Relief along with the
constitution of the Pay Commissions. If it could be stated, by 2016, when the
Commission Recommendations come into force, some of the aged members may not be
there. The Grant will also help the staff/pensioners face the rising food
prices to some extent and the erosion in monetary value. The Interim Relief is
thus justified.
3.When this position
was projected to the Commission at Bangalore, on August 24, the Chairman
gave us all an Impression that the Commission was in favour of the Interim
Relief; but the Government should give them a specific reference on the
subject. He added that the Commission would consider the reference in a month
or two, and give out its Recommendation on Interim Relief. The Quantum of Interim
Relief and the Date of effect are to be decided.
It should be admitted
that this IR would not be calculated for the purpose of DR/DA/HRA/CCA or any
such Allowance; and the amount paid thus would be adjustable in the payments
that would befall in 2016, about 18 months hence. This Grant of Interim Relief
would be Dasara/Deepavali Gift.
4. We. therefore, very
sincerely Request the Government to make a very specific reference soon to the
7th CPC to consider the Grant of Interim Relief.
Respectful Regards and
Namaskar,
Yours
faithfully,
