CABINET APPROVES IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF 7TH CPC
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) on pay and pensionary benefits. It will come into effect from 01.01.2016. The Cabinet has also decided that arrears of pay and pensionary benefits will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself, unlike in the past when parts of arrears were paid in the next financial year.
7th Pay Commission implementation Highlights
1. The present system of Pay Bands and Grade Pay has been dispensed with and a new Pay Matrix as recommended by the Commission has been approved. The status of the employee, hitherto determined by grade pay, will now be determined by the level in the Pay Matrix.
2. All existing levels have been subsumed in the new structure; no new levels have been introduced nor has any level been dispensed with. Index of Rationalisation has been approved for arriving at minimum pay in each Level of the Pay Matrix depending upon the increasing role, responsibility and accountability at each step in the hierarchy.
3. The minimum pay has been increased from Rs. 7000 to 18000 p.m. Starting salary of a newly recruited employee at lowest level will now be Rs. 18000
4. For the purpose of revision of pay and pension, a fitment factor of 2.57 will be applied across all Levels in the Pay Matrices.
5. Rate of increment has been retained at 3 %.
6. The Cabinet also approved the recommendation of the Commission to enhance the ceiling of House Building Advance from Rs. 7.50 lakh to 25 lakh. In order to ensure that no hardship is caused to employees, four interest free advances namely Advances for Medical Treatment, TA on tour/transfer, TA for family of deceased employees and LTC have been retained. All other interest free advances have been abolished.
7. The Cabinet also decided not to accept the steep hike in monthly contribution towards Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS) recommended by the Commission.
8. The general recommendations of the Commission on pension and related benefits have been approved by the Cabinet. Both the options recommended by the Commission as regards pension revision have been accepted subject to feasibility of their implementation. Revision of pension using the second option based on fitment factor of 2.57 shall be implemented immediately. A Committee is being constituted to address the implementation issues anticipated in the first formulation. The first formulation may be made applicable if its implementation is found feasible after examination by proposed Committee which is to submit its Report within 4 months.
9. The Commission examined a total of 196 existing Allowances and, by way of rationalization, recommended abolition of 51 Allowances and subsuming of 37 Allowances. Given the significant changes in the existing provisions for Allowances which may have wide ranging implications, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Committee headed by Finance Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC on Allowances. The Committee will complete its work in a time bound manner and submit its reports within a period of 4 months. Till a final decision, all existing Allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates.
10. The Pay commission has recommended HRA should be rationalized by using the factor 0.8 which is used for rationalising the percentage based allowances. The 7th CPC recommended 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the Basic Pay for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively. The Commission also recommended that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9 percent when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent when DA crosses 100 percent.
Since the House Rent Allowance also listed among one of these 196 Allowances, the status HRA is not clear now. The existing rates of HRA is 30%, 20% and 10% for class X, Y and Z respectively. Whether these existing rates of HRA will be paid based on revised pay or pre revised pay..? It needs to be clarified when implementation of 7th pay commission is in process.
11. The Cabinet also decided to constitute two separate Committees (i) to suggest measures for streamlining the implementation of National Pension System (NPS) and (ii) to look into anomalies likely to arise out of implementation of the Commission’s Report.

Sub : Problems faced by SBCO staff after CBS implementation & Revision of Time factor for SBCO work in Finacle
The Directorate vide SB Order No. 14/2015 dated 19.10.2015 has ordered the roll of SBCO after implementation of finacle. This roll has been subsequently modified vide FS section subsequent letters dated 10.05.2016, 25.05.2016 and 10.06.2016. Now the SBCO has to prepare consolidated journals of all categories and check 100 % vouchers with LOT to be generated from MIS server. In most of the HOs the staff strength is meager. In some of the HOs only one or two staffs are working. The available staff is unable to complete the said work. The Divisional Heads have also not provided staff from SB SO branch as directed in afore said letters. But SBCO staff is being held responsible for the frauds taking place. In this respect Union wants some modification in the said Role. View of the union and problems faced by our staff is as under.
1) Time factor under CBS environment to SBCO is to be re consosidered.
2) Difference(SOL) consolidation figures with SET ID consolidation(RD)
3) Details of consolidation are required in SOL consolidations which were attached to the voucher by the SOs (Tellars Deposit/withdrawals/Interest figures plus SI entries amount scheme wise).
4) Dispensing of the receipt of Pass books at SBCO from SOs (in respect of B and C class offices) on closure.
5) The report for Sukanya Samriddhi accounts, LOT/Consolidation (SET) is required as huge amount is involved.
6) Redeployment of SOSB staff is not done in most of the HOs. The SOSB staff may be redeployed permanently to SBCO. The existing staff is not able to cope up with the present nature of work. The required posts/staff may be diverted to SBCO staff strength.
7) In case of multiple transactions against single voucher, the withdrawal/deposit transactions should appear in LOT in consecutive serial order. The voucher bundles should be segregated in groups i.e.,
1) Counter 2) Transfer 3) Clearance vouchers.
8) The checking of 100% of vouchers is not at all possible with this existing staff strength. Our Union suggests that 10% of deposits transactions of Rs.20000/- and above, withdrawal transactions of Rs.50000/- and above and all closures should be checked.
9) The Agents consolidated list report for a SOL to be attached to the voucher bundle is enough. There is no need of attaching the Agents schedules. (As the data in Finacle is secured one and the preservation of schedule will require more space in SBCO).
10) SBCO staff should not be penalized as co-offender in case of fraudulent
Activities by the PO counter staff, as SBCO is post Auditing/Checking.
11) The data pertains to previous days (LOT) is not available in the Finacle MIS Server.
12) Generally deposits of BO/SO are accounted after a week in respect of receipt and paid vouchers. Raising ticket/OMs for delay in accounting will increase the number of objections. Delay should be objected if the voucher (value) date is accounted after 15 days to avoid the objections. Clear orders may kindly be issued.
13) Check box is required to indentify the checked voucher in Finacle.
14) The preparation of consolidation consumes one officials work at SBCO, the consolidation is available in Finacle is not directly tallying with the Sub accounts summary, as the Transit/accounting date at HO will be more than one to three days. This work may be diverted to SB branch of HO, as this work is operative nature, the SBCO also facing shortage of hands. Orders in this regard are required.
15) The balance certification for issue of Duplicate PB/Claim case by the SBCO supervisor to be dispensed, as single set of balance is available in Fiancle.
16) Many reports are not having the set ID concept. All the reports should be provided with SET ID concept.
17) No establishment revision has taken place since 1984. We request you to conduct the ESTT. staff review immediately.
18) The controlling authority of SBCO staff should be changed to DA(P) office.
19) MIS server is inaccessible in most of the time of the day. MIS server should be up dated daily as SBCO has to check the previous days transactions. Action may kindly be taken to easy access and full time access of the MIS server.
It is therefore requested to take immediate action to resolve all the problems for the smooth functioning of the SBCO branch.
It is also requested to form SB SO branch as before for handling the work of preparation of consolidated journals, revival silent accounts of SO and transfer of accounts as this work has been assigned to HO, (P. A. Mhatre, General Secretary]
