PIB

To ensure the reserved accommodation in trains to the passengers, who need to travel by trains within a very short notice due to emergency, Shri Dinesh Trivedi, Hon’ble Minister for Railways has advised to implement new Tatkal booking scheme on and from Monday (tomorrow), 21 November 2011. This Tatkal booking facility is to be introduced to eliminate the possibility of booking of tickets by touts/miscreants through Tatkal scheme and sell to the passengers in emergency, against high premium. Booking procedure through new Tatkal scheme is given below:-

The Advance Reservation Period (ARP) of Tatkal scheme is reduced from two days to one day excluding the day of journey from the train originating station w.e.f Monday, 21 November 2011. For example, if a train is to depart from the originating station on the second of the month, the Tatkal quota for that particular train shall open at 08.00 hrs. on the first of the month.

i) Agents /Rail Travel Service Agencies (RTSAs) will not be allowed booking Tatkal tickets at the counters between 08.00 hrs. and 10.00 hrs. on the opening day of Tatkal Advance Reservation Facility for booking with train starting date falling beyond 22/11/2011. RTSA opted Tatkal booking in normal counters also will not be allowed between 08.00 hrs and 10.00 hrs. on the opening day of Tatkal for booking with train starting date falling beyond 22 November 2011.

ii) System will allow to book only maximum 4 passengers in a Tatkal booking w.e.f 21/11/2011.

iii) Tatkal tickets shall be issued only on production of one of the eight prescribed proofs of identity as per procedure explained below:-

a) For this purpose, a self-attested photocopy of the proof of identity of any one passenger should be attached to the requisition slip.

b) The details of the identity proof will be captured by the system and indicated on the reserved tickets as well on the reservation chart. It will not be mandatory for the passenger(s) to go to the counter to book the Tatkal ticket, however, the proof will have to be sent in the aforementioned manner.

c) During the journey, the passenger, whose identity card number has been indicated on the ticket, will have to produce original proof of identity indicated on the ticket, failing which all the passengers booked on the ticket shall be treated as travelling without ticket and charged accordingly. Indication will come on the ticket regarding carrying the same original proof of identity during the journey, as indicated on the ticket.

d) If the passenger whose identity card number is indicated on the ticket is not travelling, all other passengers booked on that ticket, if found travelling in train, will be treated as travelling without ticket and charged accordingly.

e) For booking done on more than one passenger, system will allow to input identification numbers passenger-wise in case if identification proofs are submitted by the concerned passengers. Input identification card information will be printed passenger-wise on the tickets as well as on the reservation chart. In such cases, in case of non-travelling of one of the passengers whose proof of identity has been indicated, other passenger(s) can undertake the journey on production of original proof of identity by the other passenger(s) whose proof of identity has been indicated on the ticket as well as on the reservation chart

f) No refund will be granted on cancellation of Tatkal confirmed tickets subject to the exception such as cancellation of trains/late running of trains for more than 3 hours, etc.

g) Cameras will be installed at the ticket counters to maintain stricter vigilance.

Central Government clears changes in PFRDA Bill, allows 26% FDI in pension

Govt clears changes in PFRDA Bill, allows 26% FDI in pension

The govt on Wednesday approved amendments to the PFRDA Bill 2011 while agreeing to the proposed 26 percent foreign investment in the pension sector but refrained from providing assured returns to subscribers in the proposed law.

The government had decided not to mention FDI cap in the legislation itself for retaining the flexibility of changing it through an executive order. The 26 per cent FDI cap is to be mentioned in the regulations to the legislation.

The changes to the PFRDA Bill were approved by the Union Cabinet at its meeting in New Delhi.

The Bill, which has already been scrutinised by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, is likely to be taken up for consideration and passage in the Winter Session beginning 22nd November.

"The government is of the view that FDI cap in the pension should be at 26 per cent at par with the insurance sector. However, it would like to retain the flexibility of changing the cap of FDI as and when required and that is why it has not been kept as part of the bill", an official spokesperson said.

The proposed legislation, the official said, will not provide assured returns to the subscribers of pension schemes.

The Committee, which is headed by senior BJP leader and former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, wanted the government to specify the FDI cap in the legislation itself and provide minimum guaranteed return to subscribers.

The government also turned down the Committee's recommendation for allowing greater flexibility to subscribers of pension schemes for pre-mature withdrawal of funds from their accounts.

"The flexibility of withdrawals from funds under the pension scheme, however, would be tightened. It would be allowed only in case of genuine needs...It would be considered when the need is critical. It will not be allowed for frivolous reasons," the official explained.

The government, however, upheld the panel's suggestion to provide greater participation of the employees and stakeholders in the Pension Advisory Committee, the official said.

The Bill, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on March 2011, was referred to the Standing Committee for consideration.

The government, it may be mentioned, has not been able to raise FDI in insurance from 26 per cent to 49 per cent because the changes require amendments in law. The Insurance (Amendment) Bill has been pending since 2008.

Once the FDI caps are mentioned in the regulations, it would be easier for the government to modify the ceilings, as and when needed, through an executive order.

HAPPY DEEPAWALI

Minutes of the meeting with Commisioner-cum-Secretary(Education), Shri B.S.Bhalla

A delegation of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association led by its General Secretary D. Ayyappan met the Commissioner-cum-Secretary (Edn) on 13th October, 2011. The following issues were discussed:

1. Regularisation of adhoc services from initial appointments: It was pointed out by the Association that about 300 to 400 cases are pending for regularization of adhoc services from initial appointments. General Secretary explained in detail the reasons for resorting to adhoc appointments by the Education Department. The Association informed the Commr-cum-Secy that services of those teachers who went to the court were regularized from their initial dates of appointments. Others who by reposing their faith on the department did not go for litigation and, thus, remained deprived of the benefit. It was further stated that even some of the cases in which the Court had given direction to the Department to examine it are also pending with the Education Department. Most of these affected teachers have furnished their detailed information along with copies of orders, on the basis of which the department has prepared a list. However, the slow progress of work caused resentment among the teachers. After hearing both the Director of Education and the Association delegation, the Commr-cum-Secy directed the Director of Education to submit the proposal to the Administration within one month – 45 days.

2. Extending Part B Grade pay to Headmasters, PSRTs, PETs, Librarians, CIs, etc: The General Secretary presented the issue in detail. The above categories of teachers and miscellaneous teachers were given the Part B upgraded Grade Pay in all other UTs, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Navodaya Vidyalaya Schools, Railway School, etc. etc. while the same was denied to the teachers in A & N Islands due to the unfavourable interpretation of rules by those in the Administration and Finance Department and the failure of the Education Department to convince the Admn and Finance. The matter is now pending with the Govt. of India. General Secretary informed the meeting about the efforts made by him during his last two visits to Delhi to get it processed early in the Ministries of Govt. of India. The Commr-cum-Secretary assured the delegation that an Assistant Director of Education will be deputed to Delhi to pursue this matter.

3. Island Special Duty Allowance to teachers during summer vacation: Commr-cum-Secy was informed that ISDA is not being paid to teachers during summer vacation due to the anti-employee stand taken by the Finance Department. It was pointed out in the meeting by the Association that summer vacation is deemed as duty under FR 82 (b) as per the clarification given by the Ministry of Finance during 1970. So, the teachers are eligible for ISDA during summer vacation. Since the matter is pending with the Govt. of India, the Commr (Edn) desired that we should wait for a decision from the Govt. of India.

4. Treating Transfer as “On Request”: The Association informed the Commr-cum-Secy (Edn) that in a number of transfer cases, the transfers of teachers who have completed their tenure in a particular zone, are treated as “On Request” thereby depriving them of the transfer benefits including Joining Time. Director of Education stated that it was done due to non-availability of funds. This was strongly opposed by the Association. The Commr-cum-Secretary (Edn) directed that transfer of all those teachers who have completed their tenure in the respective area and which were made “On Request” should be revised.
(All the affected teachers should submit their representation to the Director of Education to modify the transfer orders. In case of any difficulty in preparing the application, they can approach the office bearers of the Association at Crusade House, Phoenix Bay between 6 p.m. and 8.30 p.m - General Secretary)

5. Early declaration of summer vacation -2012: The Association delegation requested the Commr-cum-Secy (Edn) to declare the summer vacation schedule so that teachers who wish to proceed to mainland for visiting home town, for medical treatment and other purposes can book their tickets early. He assured the delegation that a decision in this matter will be taken as soon as possible.

The other members of the Association delegation were TS Sreekumar, Asst. General Secretary and office bearers of the South Andaman Teachers Branch of the Association HL Prasad, AK Sharma, GP Mondal and SL Vinjit. Dr R. Devdas, Director of Education was also present in the meeting.

NGOs’ Association Delegation Meets DAB

A delegation of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association met the Director of Accounts & Budget, A & N Islands on 8^th October, 2011 and discussed with him the following issues:

1. Delay in settling pension cases: The Association delegation drew the attention of DAB to the undue delay in settling the pension cases of government employees. DAB informed that the delay occurs in the offices of the DDOs concerned. DDOs fail to submit the pension cases in time. Only a minimum period of 10 – 15 days are required to process the pension cases in the PAO. However, he agreed to issue one more Circular to all the DDOs/Heads of Offices in this regard.

2. Delay in transferring GPF Account from one station to other on transfer of employees: DAB informed that insufficient information in the application for transfer of GPF accounts leads to delay in transrerring the account. He stated that information like name of DDO from where the last salary was drawn should be invariably written in the application for transfer of accounts.

3. Extending the Part B Grade Pay to HM, PET, Librarian, etc.: DAB stated that if an order is issued by the Administration, they will honour it and the benefit can be extended to the above categories of teachers.

4. ISDA to teachers during summer vacation: General Secretary of the Association took strong exception to the manner in which the Finance Department of the Administration objected to the grant of ISDA during summer vacation to teachers. He made it clear that despite unambiguous orders of the Govt. of India, the Finance Deptt is putting hurdles on this issue and requested the DAB to have a re-look on the issue.

5. Payment of Salary through Banks: The Director, Accounts & Budget made it clear that no instructions has been issued either by the PAO or by the administration in this regard. Employees, except DRMs, are free to receive their salary either through cash or bank.

3-3/CC/2011 03.10.2011

To

The Chief Secretary,

Andaman and Nicobar Administration,

Port Blair.

Sub: Illegal and arbitrary press statement issued by Regional Manager, SBI, Port Blair – regarding.

----------

Sir,

I am to invite your kind attention to a news item titled “All Govt. Employees to get salaries through banks from Oct. 1” appeared in The Daily Telegrams on 30th September, 2011, a copy of which is enclosed herewith for your kind reference. While talking to The Daily Telegrams, Shri Gautam Roy, Regional Manager, State Bank of India has stated that “From October 1st, 2011 onwards, salaries to all government employees as also other payments to beneficiaries of government schemes and the scholarship amount admissible to students, will be paid through banks via their respective accounts in all the three districts of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.” He goes on to say that “As per the directives of government of India, Ministry of Finance, all the payment of salaries to the employees of the Andaman & Nicobar Administration will be made through bank accounts with effect from this Saturday.”

The above statement made by the Regional Manager, SBI has created utter confusion among the government employees and workers and among the government departments under the Administration. We have been informed by the sources in the Administration and the Director of Accounts & Budget that no instruction has been issued either by the Govt. of India or the A & N Administration to stop cash payment of salary to the government employees working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration from 1st October, 2011.

We failed to understand as to how the Regional Manager of the SBI can decide upon the mode of payment of salary to the government employees working under the A & N Administration. Such irresponsible and uncalled for statement by the Regional Manager, SBI should not be allowed to go un-condemned.

In this connection, I draw your kind attention to the difficulties being faced by the government employees and workers who opted for bank payment of salary during the last few days due to failure of communication links, non-functioning of ATMs and long queues in the banks. Most of the rural areas in the islands are yet to be provided with bank/ATM facilities and government employees working in those areas will face difficulties for getting their salary/wages through banks.

I would, therefore, request you kindly to advise the Regional Manager, SBI, Port Blair not to make such irresponsible statements which will create unrest among the government employees and workers working under the Administration.

Signature Campaign aganist PFRDA Bill

No. 3-12/CC/2011 Date: 26.09.2011

News Item

The inauguration of the signature campaign in Andaman and Nicobar Islands against the Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill which is pending before the Standing Committee of the Parliament, was held at 6.30 p.m. today (26.09.2011) at Crusade House, Phoenix Bay. Shri Pronob Banerjee, former President of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, inaugurated the signature campaign by signing on a copy of the Memorandum to be submitted to the Prime Minister. Addressing the gathering, Shri Pronob Banerjee said that the New Pension Scheme introduced with effect from 1.1.2004 is part of the wrong economic policies being pursued by the successive central governments. Shri Lawrence Fernandez, former President of the Association in his address said that the major political parties, both in the ruling coalition and opposition, in the country have come together to support the PFRDA Bill while it was introduced in the Parliament during the last Session of the Parliament. Shri D. Ayyappan, General Secretary of the Association said that the abolition of beneficial pension scheme, which was in existence before the independence of the country, and introduction of New Pension Scheme in its place, has put lakhs of government employees who entered government service from 1.1.2004 into mental tension and agony about their future as there is no guarantee that the money being deducted from their salary will be returned to them on their retirement. He said that the money being deducted from the employees covered under the NPS is being invested in the share market. According to the PFRDA Bill even the employees recruited before 1.1.2004 can also be brought under the New Pension Scheme, he said. Shri G. Sasidharan, former Organising Secretary of the Association also addressed the gathering while Shri TS Sreekumar, Assistant General Secretary proposed a Vote of Thanks. A large number of government employees attended the function. The Association will carry out a massive signature campaign throughout the islands in the coming two months.

Creation of new grade of UDC (NFSG) and Stenographer Grade ‘D’ (NFSG) in CSCS and CSSS Respectively

The Chief Secretary,

Port Blair.

Sub: Creation of new grade of UDC (NFSG) and Stenographer Grade ‘D’ (NFSG) in CSCS and CSSS Respectively – regarding.
--------------------
Sir,

I am to invite your kind attention towards the Office Memorandum bearing No. 20/49/2009-CS.II (B) dated the 22nd June, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions (Department of Personnel & Training), Government of India, New Delhi on the above subject.

According to the above order, UDCs of Central Secretariat Clerical Services (CSCS) and Stenographer Grade ‘D’ of Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Services (CSSS), on completion of 5 years’ of service, will be placed in the Non Functional Selection Grade in the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 in Pay Band-2.

The above decision has been taken by the Govt. of India in order to remove the stagnation among the UDCs in the Central Secretariat Services. There is widespread stagnation among the Higher Grade Clerks working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration due to lack of sufficient promotional posts.

Under the circumstances, I would request you kindly to take up this matter with the Govt. of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions (Department of Personnel & Training) to extend the Non-Functional Selection Grade (NFSG) to the Higher Grade Clerks and Stenographers (Ordinary) working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration considering the stagnation among the above categories of employees.

Engaging other staff to perform Clerical work

3-3/CC/2011 25.08.2011

To

The Chief Secretary,
Andaman and Nicobar Administration,
Port Blair.

Sir,

With the restructuring of the Amalgamated Clerical Cadre of the Administration and filling of vacant posts of Lower Grade Clerk through Staff Selection Commission, sufficient clerical staffs have been posted to almost all the departments and offices under the Administration. It has been reported to this Association that in some of the departments/offices like Electricity Department, APWD, etc., regular mazdoors and other staff are engaged for performing clerical work while the clerical cadre staff posted to such offices are idling.

Some of the Heads of Departments/Offices prefer to engage other staff for performing clerical work on extraneous reasons. These Heads of Departments/ Offices hesitate to allot work to the newly posted clerical staff thereby creating unrest among the staff.

I would, therefore, request you kindly to issue necessary instructions to all the Heads of Departments/ Offices under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration to allot clerical work only to the Clerical Cadre Staff and to do away with the practice of engaging Regular Mazdoors, etc. for clerical work wherever such clerical cadre staffs are sufficiently available.

Denial of upgraded grade pay to certain category of teachers in A & N ISlands

3-3/CC/2011 16.08.2011

To


The Secretary (Perl),
Department of Personnel & Training,
Government of India,
North Block,
New Delhi – 110 001.

Sir,

I am to invite your kind attention to this Association’s letters addressed to your goodself about the injustice meted out to a section of teaching staff working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. The Government of India has upgraded, under part B of the CCS (Revised) Pay Rules, 2008, the scales of pay of teachers of various categories in the pre-revised scales of pay on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (para 3.8.21).

However, I would like to point out that certain categories of teaching staff have been denied the upgraded pay under Part B of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. They are Headmasters, Physical Education Teachers, Librarians, Craft Instructors, Lab Assistants, Primary School Resource Teachers, Music/Art Teachers, etc. The above categories of teachers were always considered for any kind of benefits that were extended to the teaching community by the government in the past and this is the first occasion they have been kept out of the purview of upgraded pay.

On becoming Headmasters, the financial upgradation of PSTs and GTTs which they got through ACP/MACP are being sought to be reduced. In this way, the teachers (Primary School Teachers and Graduate Trained Teachers) who are working under these Headmasters are getting higher Grade Pay compared to the Headmasters.

As pointed out by this Association, the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B is allowed to all the above categories of teachers working under the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, Government of Puducherry, Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, Navodaya Vidyalaya Schools, Railway Board Schools, etc. Denial of the upgraded pay under Part B to the teachers working under the Andaman & Nicobar Administration is a sheer discrimination. Our request to the A & N Administration to end this discrimination and allow the teachers working under the A & N Administration also to avail this upgraded Grade Pay did not yield any result. Hundreds of teachers are affected by the inaction on the part of the authorities.

Denial of the upgraded pay to certain category of teachers will demoralize the them which in turn will badly affect the teaching-learning process in the educational institutions.

I would, therefore, once again request you kindly to look into the above matter and issue necessary direction to the A & N Administration to extend the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 to the above categories of left-out teachers working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration as has been done in other UTs and central government schools in order to end the discrimination among the teaching staff of various UTs and to restore confidence among the affected categories of teachers.

Yours faithfully,

Upgraded pay to LGCs & HGCs

Sub: Upgraded Grade Pay for the post of Lower Grade Clerks/Higher Grade Clerks - regarding.
--------------
Sir,

I am to draw your kind attention towards this Association’s letters addressed to you on the above subject. This Association and the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers, New Delhi have been representing to the Govt. of India for the last several years to enhance the scales of pay of Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. The educational qualification for recruitment to the post of Lower Grade Clerk was raised to Class XII with computer education and typewriting essential, through an amendment in the Recruitment Rules during the year 1994. The Government of India, DOPT has also enhanced the educational qualification for the post of LGC from matriculation to Class XII, after the implementation of the Sixth Centrlal Pay Commission.

As pointed out by us earlier, the duties and responsibilities of the Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks are higher than those of their counterparts in the Central Secretariat Services of the Govt. of India and subordinate offices. Manual of Office Procedure of the central government and that of the A & N Administration clearly reveal that HGCs and LGCs working under the A & N Administration are performing higher nature of duties. As stated by us earlier also, the LGCs and HGCs, being the Dealing Assistants in the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, are required to deal with complicated cases of various kinds and, thus, shoulder higher responsible work.

The Sixth Central Pay Commission and the Govt. of India continued to neglect the Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks even after the Sixth Central Pay Commission. On the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the erstwhile Group D staffs have been brought at par with the Lower Grade Clerks in the Pay Band-1 upgrading them to Group C. When the Group D staffs have been brought to Group C category, the existing employees in the lowest category of Group C should have been upgraded atleast to the next scale of pay.

I would, therefore, once again request you kindly to examine this matter and issue necessary orders upgrading the scales of pay/Grade Pay of Lower Grade Clerks and Higher Grade Clerks working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, treating it as a special case.

Grant of ISDA during summer vacation

Sub: Grant of ISDA during summer vacation to teachers -
Regarding.
----------------
Sir,

I am to invite your kind attention towards this Association’s letter dated 21st February, 2011 addressed to your goodself on the above subject. As pointed out by us, on the recommendation of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, Island Special Duty Allowance (ISDA), ranging from 12 ½% to 25% depending upon the area of posting, has been granted to all the government employees and workers working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration vide OM No. 123/2008-E-II (B) dated 29th August, 2008 of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, New Delhi. Conditions for drawing this Allowance has been stipulated in terms of Note 1 below Section (iii) read with para 2 below Section V, Appendix-9 “Incentive for Serving in Remote Areas” of FR & SR Part-I. As per this, ISDA will not be admissible during leave/training beyond 15 days at a time and beyond 30 days in a year. The allowance is also not admissible during suspension and joining time.

However, the ISDA is not being given to the teachers working under the Education Department of Andaman and Nicobar Administration during summer vacation. The Finance Department of the A & N Administration has objected to the grant of ISDA to teaching staff during vacation and stated that “the nature of vacation is similar to leave with full pay availed by other categories of government servants and during such leave beyond 15 days, ISDA is not admissible……”

As pointed out by us earlier, the Ministry of Finance, in consulation with the Ministry of Home Affairs, had clarified vide their U.O. No. 72-E.IV (A)/70 dated 21.1.1970 that “vacation is deemed as duty under F.R. 82 (b), there would be no objection to combining it with casual leave which is also treated as duty”

I would further bring to your kind notice that the Principal Director of Audit, Kolkatta had audited the accounts of some of the Senior Secondary Schools under the Education Department of these islands and they observed that “As the vacation is treated as duty and counts for all purpose in service and not treated as leave and not debited to any leave account, disallowing ISDA during vacation was irregular. The reason for disallowing ISDA may please be stated and disallowed portion of ISDA may be paid to teaching staff under intimation to Audit.”

Despite clear provision in the CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 and FR, denial of the ISDA to the teachers during summer vacation by the Finance Department of A & N Administration is unjust and needs to be looked into by the Government of India. We have been informed that this matter has been taken up with the Ministry of Finance by the A & N Administration.

I would, therefore, once again request you kindly to consider the above issue favourably and communicate the decision of the Ministry of Finance so that thousands of teaching staff working under the Education Department of the A & N Administration will get the Islands Special Duty Allowance during summer vacation.
