suspension by the Government concerned shall be entitled to receive from that

4(1)(a)
a subsistence allowance at an amount equal to the leave salary which a member
of the Service would have drawn if he had been on leave on half-average pay or
on half pay and in addition, dearness allowance, if admissible on the basis of
such leave salary;
Provided
that where the period of suspension exceed three months, the authority which
made or is deemed to have made the order of suspension shall be competent to
vary the amount of subsistence allowance for any period subsequent to the
period of the first three months as follows:
(i) the amount of subsistence allowance may be increased 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 suspensions has been prolonged for reasons,
to be recorded in writing, not directly attributable to the member of the
Service;
(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;
(iii) the rate of the dearness allowance will be based on the
increased or, as the case may be, the reduced amount of subsistence allowance
admissible under sub-clause (i) or sub-clause (ii) above.
4(1)(b)
any other compensatory allowance admissible from time to time on the basis of
pay of which a member of the Service was in receipt on the date of suspension,
subject to the fulfillment of other conditions laid down for the drawal of such
allowance.

October, 1958, read with No. 7/20/59-AIS (II), dated the 17th November, 1959]
(2)

There is no bar to the recovery of overpayments from subsistence allowance but

should be held wholly in abeyance during the period of suspension or it should
be effected at full or reduced rate depending on the circumstances of each
case.
[G.I., M.H.A. letter No. 7/18/59-AIS (II), dated 21st
October, 1959]
(3)
A question having arisen, it was decided that an officer (under suspension) is
entitled to receive subsistence allowance at the rate equal to leave salary
which he would have drawn while on leave on half average pay or half pay as the
case may be, for the first twelve months. If after the expiry of that period,
the competent authority does not find it necessary to increase or decrease the
amount, the officer (under suspension) will continue to receive the same amount
of subsistence allowance and it is not necessary to issue fresh orders in this
regard.

No.AIRF/405( VII CPC)
Dated: October 24, 2013
The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Comrades,
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
• Pay fixation of the Promotees VS Direct Recruits
• Loco Pilots and other categories
Comradely yours,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)

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.
S.Ravi.
