(ii) the amount of the subsistence allowance may be reduced by a suitable amount, not exceeding 50 per cent of the subsistence allowance admissible during the period of the first three months, if in the opinion of the said authority, the period of suspension has been prolonged for reasons, to be recorded in writing directly attributable to a member of the Service;

The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Comrades,
Sub: Feedback of the meeting held today with Secretary, DoP&T on Terms of Reference of VII CPC
On the invitation of Secretary, DoP&T, today we met him at North Block, being led by Com. Umraomal Purohit, Secretary(Staff Side), National Council(JCM), where Jt. Secretary(Estf) Ms Mamta Kundra was present along with the Director(JCA), Shri Ashok Kumar.
Com. Purohit explained in detail about the background of the past Pay Commissions as he has been associated with the JCM as Secretary(Staff Side) since 1977. He said that the VI CPC though had many favourable recommendations but it has also created many anomalies, particularly because of introduction of Pay Band and Grade Pay. Com. Purohit further said that he had expected some draft on the Terms of Reference of the Seventh Central Pay Commission from the Official Side, it would facilitate better appreciation to react.
It was also explained that the VI CPC has been based on Secretarial Structure, and there no appreciation for professional and operational needs, faced by the departments, like Indian Railways, Defence production etc. Therefore, it was demanded that some professional experts should be used to appreciate the problems of the Railwaymen and others.
It as also demanded that, to have a true representative character, a labour representative should be included as member in the Commission. 
Besides the undersigned, Com. Rakhal Das Gupta, Working President/AIRF and Corn. J.R. Bhosale, Treasurer/AIRF, were present on the occasion.
The Staff Side also raised the following issues:
Secretarial Structure — Pay Structure — Hierarchy of Industrial employees
GP Rs.5400 and other facilities
Allowances
Provision should be made to appreciate problems of the Railways and other departments
Problems of the Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal Department
Cadre Restructuring in Defence Production
Parity between pre and post retirees
Removal of the anomalies
MACPS- GP Rs2000, Stepping up of pay
Court cases in the matter of MACP

A Request To Federations regarding COMPASSIONATE APPOINTMENT.
It is the right time to discuss about compassionate appointment because of the announcement of 7 th central pay commission.Compassionate appointment is not like other appointments,it is a thing that gives life to the suffering family without their prime earning head.
Most of the higher level employees (ie Grade A&B) might have their future security plans for their family.But in the case of Group C employees, they may not have any future plans,as their salary used to run their day-to-day life.
Sudden death of employee due to disease or accident is a massive loss to the family.That family might have many commitments like education,marriage of their children , medical expenses of aged parent etc.,For such family, compassionate appointment is the only permanent solution.
Hence the following requests are submitted to the notice of Federations regarding Compassionate appointment
1 5% ceiling in compassionate appointment should be removed.

2 All the deceased employees legal heir must get the appointment.

3 Duration regarding appointment should be minimized .

4. If there is no vacancy,the appointment should be made for Future Vacancy.

5 Compassionate appointment might be given to married son like as it is given to married daughter.

6 Welfare officer should verify the situation of the family, yearly once after giving appointment.

7 If any complaints received from other family members against the successor, immediate action should be taken regarding the complaint.
