7th pay commission problems - Dilip Hiray

Honorable,

Narendra Damodar Das Modi

The Prime minister

Govt of India

Mr prime minister,

Once again The poor jawans i.e personnel below officer rank ( PBORS )of Armed forces have been betrayed with in 7th pay commission. The leg has been hit on the stomach of the poor soldiers, and a knife has been stabbed into the back of the poor jawans. And. Commissioned officer's pay has been hiked from 2.57 times to 2.67 times at the cost of X-Gp pay of the poor jawans. Poor jawans have been cheated again. The X-Gp PAY has been separated from the commutation into their pension.

Officers settled themselves for pay in multiples of 2.67 and 2.57 for men who are already getting a lesser pay. Shameful act of betrayal. Fixation of Military Service Pay (MSP) turned out to be another joke. Officers who enjoys all facilities and luxuries wherever they go, will get 15000+ per month as MSP. The soldiers who are the first line of defence facing bullets gets a meager 5200 per month as a monetary compensation for the hardships they suffer. This is when the non-combatant MNS have bagged an MSP of 10480/- !!!

If the basis of this remuneration is supposedly the complexity, uncertainty and dangers involved in military jobs, how is an officer's job more complex than that of a soldier? How is an MNS (nurse) working comfortably in a hospital, more stressed than a soldier who is ordered to do duty in extreme climates, regardless of hours, comforts and safety? Officers have systematically kept all facilities with themselves.

There are never ending stories of struggle for the PBOR. But the very people who are supposed to take the matter to the highest level showed middle finger to the subordinates. It will hit the morale of Defence as a whole am sure. This betrayal can not be forgiven. The discrimination and high headedness of Officers in armed forces has to put to an end.

And why it is so happening again and again in the pay commission , why the poor soldiers I.e PBORs are being cheated in every pay commission ? It is because there is no one or representatives of PBORS to talk to the Govt on the issue of anomalies in their pay & service conditions. The commissioned officers the so called representatives of PBORS I.e jawans , so called supposed guardians of PBOR's put their interests first before the govt, The PAY COMMISSION , OR ANY COMMITTEE constituted for the purpose and the interests of PBORS are thrown far away by these , greedy, selfish commissioned officer. Same has been repeated again and poor jawans , poor PBORs has been cheated by all the three top Brasses of the Armed forces and their subordinates commissioned officers. Because the mindsets of these commissioned rank continues to be of colonial rule , considering the jawans as their slaves.

Is so the mindsets of the people sitting in the govt also , Mr Prime minister ?

If not so why the PBORS are being cheated time and again in the Pay commission?

Ultimately who is responsible for this debacle with respect to 7th CPC implementation so late ? Who made it to be so late ? Who are behind this? What were their objectives ? And what they got ?

And WHAT DID THE PBORS GOT FROM THIS EXERCISE OF DELAY OF 7TH CPC.

Answer is nothing , instead this will affect their pay,pension , gratuity and leave encashment etc and bring their morale down while performing their duty.

On whose instance 7th pay commission has been delayed ?

And by now what has been achieved by delaying it?

Answer is , the demands of increasing the pay from 2.57 to 2.67 of commissioned officers has been fulfilled at the cost of X-Gp pay of poor JAWANS , therby preventing the jawans or PBORS from pensionery benefits and reducing their pension, gratuity, leave encashment etc.

Instead the govt should not have attempted to bring the parity in the pay and salary of the officers , and also the parity in the pension of all the pensioners at the cost of X-Pay of the poor soldiers. But the govt has befooled the the poor jawans and very quietly betrayed them again. 

This is not justified MR PRIME MINISTER. This is irrational , arbitrary to the govt policy of soldiers welfare.

Big question is Why the govt is hell bent upon to cause this sort of discrimination time and again in the Pay commission?

The govt has stabbed in the back of PBORS, And they have hit the on the stomach of poor jawans.

This is what the govt is doing ? Mr Prime minister. 

Does the Govt only acts upon the advice and suggestions presented by all the three Brasses of Armed forces and the kind of pressure they exert upon the govt?

If so is not the case then why the govt has hit the leg on the stomach of poor jawans ?

And why the govt accepted the demands of the commissioned officers to hike their pay from 2.57 to 2.67 times that too at the cost of X-Gp Pay cut of poor jawans ????

Now all the three Chiefs are silent . WHY ? WHY?? WHY ???

THIS SILENCE SPEAKS A LOT , MR Prime minister.

Is it not the conspiracy of all the three Chiefs , to get their pay hiked from 2.57 to 2.67 times at cost of X- Gp Pay cut of poor jawans ?

At least your govt should have realised the issues of their pay , allowances , their demands of equal MILITARY SERVICE PAY, to all irrespective of their rank. But the govt has not given any heed to the issues of PBORS , instead the govt has increased the pay and salaries of the commissioned officers ? 

Why this discrimination of poor soldiers Mr Prime minister ? And till when ?

The attitude of the govt has badly affected the morale of the PBORS, placed on duty of securing the borders of the country.

I, therefore request you Mr Prime minister to equalise the Military service pay (MSP) to all irrespective of any rank and also to include the X-Gp pay for the purpose of commutation into their pension and pensionery benefits so as to boost their morale of the PBORs at hand.

Thank you and Jaihind,

IAF PENSIONERS :FOR CORR PPO - APPLY TO DIRECTORATE OF AIR VETERANS

At a meeting on 20-12-16, the CGDA representative stated that as per the records received from CPPCs of various Banks, there is a total of 109000 living IAF pensioners out of which 48245 are of pre-2006 vintage. These figures were contested by the AFA because as per our knowledge the IAF pensioners are close to 2.2 Lakhs with 1.6 lakhs belonging to the pre-2006 vintage.

The Secretary Pensions, who was chairing this meeting, then advised CGDA to reconcile the correct figures of the IAF pensioners by comparing the records as held with the DAV and the CPPCs. Corrigendum PPOs:-

The CDA should have issued 2368 Corrigendum PPOs by the 31st December 2016 and additionally, should also have resolved the discrepancies in the records of 15000 other IAF pensioners. The last date of resolving the discrepancies was set as 28 Feb 17. The CGDA was also advised to share the details of 45877 IAF pensioners in respect of whom it has issued the corrigendum PPOs.

The Corrigendum PPOs are necessitated because of changes in Pension entitlement following the pay commissions upto 2006 and now in 2016. Other changes were brought in on 01/07/2009 and 24/09/2014.

Further, changes in the Pensions were also brought about by granting the OROP on 01/07/2014. Thus almost everyone needs to know their correct entitlement factoring in all these changes. The DAV was, thereafter, advised to liaise with the CDAs to ensure that each IAF pensioner receives his corrigendum PPO wherein these changes are duly reflected. People who had sent their requests to the AFA for getting corrigendum PPOs are hereby intimated that their cases have been forwarded to the JCDA(AF) and the DAV.

Kindly check your own PPOs and if all these changes are not reflected in your PPO then please send an email directly to the DAV giving complete particulars with latest address and mobile number, the Bank account details and the personal details about the spouse and his/her date of birth and request the DAV to get your corrigendum PPO issued by the JCDA(AF) and forward it to your address once received by them.

7CPC : Finance Ministry gets extension of 2 months, may delay higher allowances notification

The notification for the implementation of higher allowance, under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, is likely to be issued after January 2017.

New Delhi, Dec 7: The notification for the implementation of higher allowance, under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, is likely to be issued after January 2017. The Finance Ministry has got extension of two months to issue the higher allowances notification under 7th Pay Commission recommendations. It means the higher allowance notification, under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, may get delayed till January next year. The government intends to accept the report of ‘Committee on Allowances’ after December 30, deadline for depositing demonetised notes.

The October-November month is the scheduled for issuing notification, but the Finance Ministry has got extension of two months because of the cash shortage following demonetisation drive. The government doesn’t want to increase the burden of banks that has been witnessing cash crunch due to demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. The government hopes that situation will return to normal after December 30 and it will be able to pay higher allowances to its 4.8 million employees as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

“The October-November month is the scheduled for issuing notification for the Finance Ministry, but the time was extended by 2 months because the cash crunch on account of demonetisation, which is taking time to get normality,” a Finance Ministry official was quoted as saying by Sen Times. “Therefor, unless the banks can begin to function with a modicum of efficiency, the government will not issue notification on higher allowances to save demonetisation chaos,” he added.

Sources in the Finance Ministry said the government is likely to issue higher allowances notification under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations from January next year, after the the cash crunch will ease. The central government employees have been waiting for fatter allowance since July when the notification for the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations was issued.

Earlier we reported that the government is planning to pay higher allowances under the 7th Pay Commission from January, 2017.The ‘Committee on Allowances’, headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa, on fatter allowances under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations is ready with its report. However the massive cash crunch post demonetisation drive has compelled the Finance Ministry to keep in abeyance the enhanced allowances till things normalize. Allowances are now being paid to the central government employees according to the 6th Pay Commission recommendations.

Ex-serviceman commits suicide in Delhi over OROP

New Delhi: Ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal allegedly committed suicide at the Jantar Mantar in Delhi over the delay in implementation of the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme.

Ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal committed suicide by consuming poison at Delhi's Jantar Mantar area over the delay in implementation of the OROP.

He consumed poison last afternoon.

However, the cause behind Grewal's suicide is yet to be ascertained.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be visiting Grewal's family in Haryana's Bhiwani later in the day.

Dubbing the incident as 'unfortunate', Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Commando Surinder Singh alleged that the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre was indulging in politics over the Indian Army.

"A very unfortunate incident has taken place with this family. For the last one day, Grewal and 50 other ex-servicemen were sitting on strike. They wanted to present their memorandum to the Defence Minister. He had to wait for two days for the Defence Minister. When he was going to meet him, he faced many hurdles. In his memorandum he wrote that he is sacrificing his life for the nation and for the soldiers," he told the media.

Singh further said the salary that the soldiers get is not enough for living.

"On one hand, the government is doing politics over the Indian Army and on the other hand, the soldiers are forced to commit suicide today. The salary that a soldier gets is not enough for living. I condemn this incident," said Singh.

The AAP leader also used the occasion to target Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and accused the latter of indulging in petty political gains over the sacrifice of soldiers.

"I want to tell the Defence Minister to wake up...you are the Defence Minister of the nation...you do politics in the name of the soldiers. You try to take votes in the name of the soldiers. You don't even meet the soldiers. The soldiers have to commit suicide to even present a memorandum," said Singh.

"Today, the entire nation and all the ex-servicemen are standing with the family. His sacrifice won't go in vain. We will meet with the Defence Minister with this demand," he added.

Grewal's son Jaswant urged the Modi Government to look into the matter.

"My father sacrificed for the nation. He was demanding the One Rank, One Pension. The Modi Government should think about this," he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while celebrating the Diwali with the army and ITBP personnel in Sumdo, Kinnaur, had said that the first instalment of nearly Rs. 5,500 crore has been paid for implementing the OROP scheme.

The Prime Minister also asserted that he has "fulfilled the promise" which he made to ex-servicemen on the issue that has been hanging fire for the last 40 years.

OROP scheme has been a long-standing demand of nearly three-million ex-servicemen and war widows in the country.

It seeks to ensure that a uniform pension is paid to defence personnel, who retire at the same rank with the same length of service irrespective of their date of retirement.

More Welfare Schemes for Ex-Servicemen

Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan declared that PM Modi would come out with more welfare schemes for ex-servicemen

 

Sun, 31 Jan 2016-05:25pm , New Delhi 

 

PTI Stating that the Narendra Modi government has already announced the 'One Rank, One Pension' scheme for the benefit of ex-servicemen, Radhakrishnan declared that the prime minister would come out with more welfare schemes for them. The Centre will talk to state governments for providing job opportunities to servicemen who retire at an early age, Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan said on Sunday. The minister said he will take up the issue with state governments which have reserved some percentage for ex-servicemen in government jobs after he was told that jawans who retire early, at the age of 30-35 years, often find it difficult to secure a job.

Stating that the Narendra Modi government has already announced the 'One Rank, One Pension' scheme for the benefit of ex-servicemen, Radhakrishnan declared that the prime minister would come out with more welfare schemes for them. He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of the 28th anniversary celebrations of the Coimbatore Ex-servicemen and Widows Welfare Society here. On Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi holding a fast in Hyderabad over the Dalit scholar suicide issue, the minister said he was "moving without any direction". The opposition party is desperate as it is unable to find any grounds to attack the Modi government and is hence trying to tarnish its image by raising non-issues, the minister claimed.
