Cabinet Decision on 7th CPC Allowances only after 11th March 2017  "Retention of the rates of HRA and date of effect of allowances should be from 1st January 2016 and revision of rates of Transport allowances, OTA and NDA apart from retention of many of the allowances - COC Karnataka". Allowances Comrades, The media is debating that the allowances committee headed by Shri Ashok Lavasa Finance Secretary has submitted its report to the Hon’ble Finance Minister Arun Jaitleyji on 22nd or not. Comrades as you aware that this committee period has expired on 22nd February 2017, the question is that even if it has submitted its report to the Hon’ble Finance Minister Arun Jaitleyji it is confidential document all media creation on the HRA rates are not be believed, the actual truth will be known only after the assembly elections results of five states which will be declared on March 11.

Tomorrow All India Bank Strike - AIBEA & AIBOA Joint Circular on Strike CIRCULAR TO ALL UNITS & MEMBERS  February 26, 2017 Dear Comrades, MAKE 28TH FEBRUARY ALL INDIA STRIKE A TOTAL SUCCESS We are sure that all efforts are being taken by all our units in all the States and in every Bank to make the UFBU’s call for All India Strike on 28th February, 2017 a total success. In the light of the increasing attacks on account of the Government’s anti-public sector policies, defending public sector banking is very important. Fighting back all attempts to privatise the PSBs is a paramount duty. When Banks are facing challenges, Government has announced recapitalization of just Rs. 10,000 crores in this year’s Budget. This means that either the business of the banks will get choked or Banks will be compelled to tap private capital from the market thus diluting public sector character. We have seen how the Government is bulldozing all protests and opposit

7th CPC Allowance Committee Report Submitted to the Govt or not?

Image
7th CPC Allowance Committee Report Submitted to the Govt or not? Was the 7th CPC Allowance Committee Report submitted to the government as early as February 22? A high-level committee, under the chairmanship of Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa was constituted by the Central Government to review the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations regarding the allowances being given to the Central Government employees. According to information, the committee had already submitted its report on February 22. Irrespective of who possesses the report now – the committee or the government – what is more intriguing is the recommendations that it contains. One could see that the 7th Pay Commission suggested either rationalization or simplification at many places. An example is the Pay Matrix Table, which has now brought the entire Pay Structure of more than 35 lakh employees under one Table. Although there are some anomalies, the system has dramatically simplified the process of ann

Sources Confirmed Allowance Committee Report Submitted

Image
Sources Confirmed Allowance Committee Report Submitted One of the NJCA leader, On Condition of Anonymity, told that the committee constituted to examine the allowance has finalized its reports and submitted it to the Government on 22nd February 2017. On asking whether the NJCA knew the details of the committee report, he said that they were not provided with the committee report. But the committee has informed them that their demand on allowance would be considered favorably. Hence it is expected the HRA will be retained in old rates (Sixth CPC rates) from the beginning itself and will be paid in 7th CPC Pay Scale when revised allowances come into effect. However, the news of revised allowances would be implemented with effect from 1.4.2017 is not reliable. NJCA will not accept this and clearly said that it should be implemented with effect from 1.1.2016 retrospectively. X cities- 30% Y cities- 20% Z cities- 10% Transport Allowance may be split into two elem
