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) (M. Krishnan)
