Dear Sir,
Sub:
- Terms of Reference of the 7th Central Pay Commission.
We have gone through the
Terms of Reference of 7th Central
Pay Commission approved and notified by the Government on 28.02.2014. We find
that the Terms of Reference finalized by the Government is at variance in many
respects to the Draft Terms of Reference the Staff Side had submitted to you on
25.10.2013 after holding in-house discussion on 24.10.2013.
At the conclusion of the
meeting held on 24.10.2013, it was agreed that the Government would consider
our suggestions in the matter and will convene another meeting with the
presence of the Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out the differences, if any,
and explore the possibilities of an agreement in the matter.
We regret to inform you
that no such meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the Official Side
to arrive at an agreed Terms of Reference. We find that the Government has
rejected the suggestions of Staff side for either taking a decision in the
matter of Interim Relief, Merger of DA, representation of labour nominee in the
Commission itself, inclusion
of the Grameen Dak Sewaks within the purview of the 7th CPC, bringing
parity in pension between the past and present pensioners, covering the
employees appointed on or after 01.01.2004 within the ambit of the Defined
Benefit Pension Scheme, date of effect, settlement of the pending items in the
National Anomaly Committee etc. or referring those issues to the Commission
itself for an Interim Report.
Besides, we are to state
that the existing Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) Scheme, being a bilateral
agreement, cannot be subjected to scrutiny and examination by the 7th CPC.
We, therefore request you
to kindly convene a meeting of the Standing Committee of National Council (JCM)
to discuss the issue, so as to make amendments to the Terms of Reference
finalized by the Government arbitrarily.
Yours
faithfully,
(D.
Theagarajan)
