Meeting of the Clerical Cadre Sub-Committee

A meeting of the Clerical Cadre Sub-Committee of the Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association was held at Port Blair on 12.07.2014 in which various issues of employees belonging to the Clerical Cadre were discussed.  The meeting among other things discussed and finalized the issues of Clerical Cadre employees to be included in the Memorandum for the 7^th Central Pay Commission to be submitted by the Association.  The meeting observed that successive Central Pay Commissions as well as central governments in the past had neglected the demands of the clerical cadre employees.   

Addressing the meeting, Shri D. Ayyappan, General Secretary said that none of the demands of the central government employees placed before the government has found mention in the recently introduced General Budget by the Finance Minister.  Nominal increase in the Income Tax exemption will not be of much benefit for the government employees.  The General Budget has not proposed any concrete step to contain price rise.  He further said that the Budget will intensify the privatization of  public sector in the country.  

  Shri S. Surender, Vice President, Clerical Cadre Branch, presided over the meeting.
