Major issues of the Central Government Employees
Five major issues of the Central Government employees which are projected for a serving employee to the 7th CPC.
1) Inadequate pay compared to talent.
2) Lack of promotions and better increment rate.
3) Equal pay for equal work.
4) Non-filling up of vacant posts and increased work load.
5) Allowances to be paid as per market rate.
1) Inadequate pay compared to talent:
The person joining a Government Service is not just for the employment is for a whole career, if a person joins a Government Service he will quit/ retire from the job only after putting 30 years service or more. In case of the person joining a private company he will jump from one company to another at least five times in thirty years.
The talented persons from all over the country are moving to IT, BT and private sectors, rather than Central Government sector. Because of the lower salary / pay structure in Central Government sector compared to IT and BT sectors and complex nature of rules and regulations in Central Government sector and also the skill and merit of the worker/ employee is not into account in Central Government sector.
Today, the weakest link in respect of any government policy is at the delivery stage. This phenomenon is not endemic to India. Internationally also, there is an increasing emphasis on strengthening the delivery lines and decentralization with greater role being assigned at delivery points, which actually determines the benefit that the common citizen is going to derive out of any policy initiative of the government.
More the talented persons are there in Government services, more the delivery of the government schemes will be there, thus the Government machinery will be more effective and common man will benefit a lot.
Main consideration in the private and public sector being ‘profit’, and in Central Government it is “service” even through Railways, Income Tax & Central Excise are revenue earning departments, hence an equal comparison with the Government is not going to be ever possible. Performance for the Government is usually not measured in terms of profit, but in terms of achieving societal goals.
The time scale gap between one posts to another should be uniform rate from starting to end, starting from Rs 26,000 to Rs 2, 60,000.
The minimum wage should be calculated using Dr Aykroyd formula and following 15th ILC norms and four units should be taken into account not three units as followed by the 6th CPC.
The pay should fixed taking in following factors.
a) The educational qualifications.
b) The level of responsibility.
c) The skill of the work.
The earlier pay commissions were only taking into account only educational qualifications into account.
Only around 8 to 9 % of the total Govt revenue collection is spent on wages of Central Government employees, compared to 20% to 25% of the revenue spent on wages in private sector.
The cost of living (prices of essential items and other items) has gone by over 250% during last 10 years, compared to 113% DA. The prices are continuously rising.
The Government is a model employer, hence the wages should be provided with the needs and to attract the talented and skilled persons.
2) Lack of promotions and better increment rate.
Today there are persons who have not even got two promotions in his entire career, The MACP scheme is not that much effective, lack of promotions in Central Government sector compared to IT and BT sectors.
One should get five promotions in promotional hierarchy during his service to motivate him to work more. As the Government employee put more and more service, he will be more trained to perform his duties in a better befitting manner. Thus the Government is more beneficial as good quality of work can be expected of him.
The family responsibility will increase with age. There should be adequate financial protection for him, the better rate of increment should motivate him to work more from the present 3% to 5%. On promotion one should get a minimum salary increase of Rs 3000/- per month as he will perform higher duties.
3) Equal Pay for Equal work.
For the same post which include similar duties and responsibility. There are different pay scales/ Grade Pay existing for same nature of duties and similar recruit qualifications. This anomaly should be rectified.
Grant of Grade Pay Rs.4800 to all Supervisors cadre. The gazetted Group “B” post should start from Rs 5400/- GP.
4) Non-filling up of vacant posts and increased work load
In 1990 the Population of the country is 85 crores and the Central Government Employees strength is 40 lakhs in the year 2014 population of the country is 125 crores, whereas the Central Government Employees strength is just 31 lakhs.
Non-filling up of vacant posts has resulted in increased work load on the existing employees. The strength of Central government employees should increase considerably.
5) Allowances to be paid as per market rate:
The house rent allowance should be from Rs 7000/- per month to Rs 55,000/- per month. All allowances such as Tour DA, OTA, Night Duty, CEA (tuition fees) , Cashier Allowances, etc should be increased by three times.
The all allowances should also be paid net of taxes which has been examined by 5th CPC in para no 167.
The staff side (JCM) has represented well the above important issues of the Central Government Employees before the 7th CPC, we sincerely hope the 7th CPC will address and resolve the above issues.
Let us wait patiently for the 7th CPC to submit its report and then we can deliberate on the report and do the needful action.

sunil Arya says
Some of the Department having identical scale for feeder post and promotional post and due to this they are not getting pay fixation and happens that on grant of 2nd ACP they have granted in the scale of Rs.4000-6000 and grant 3rd MAPCS in Grade pay RS.2800. In the VI CPC it is happens that those junior are getting on 3rd MACPS of grade pay RS.4200. this is injustice to seniors. kindly rectify.

I am a central government employee in an autonomous organisation. My query is that I was applied for the post of some Assistant level in the year 1995(during that time my age is 25 and I am a graduate and eligible for that post. Due to departmental constraints inside of the department they have promoted 2 departmental candidates for the assistant post, who was as a senior clerk and other departmental candidate was jr.clerk is promoted to Sr.clerk. The outsider applied for the post of Assistant will get Jr.Clerk as the interview done by the Sr.Officials in the year 1995. Is it correct or shall I go for any legal help for the unjustification. Recently I got after a gap of 20 years Admn Asst. It is also a loss to me. No benefits. Kindly help me or advise me in this regard. please

Sir,
At present mother and father are made dependent on service personnel, if their income is less than 3500/-per month. My request is that parents should be made dependent after 60 years of age without any income restriction so that they can be looked after better in their old age.

I joined Railways in 1964 leaving legal profession on the basis of promotion like Resrve Bank and other Govt depts.I have to wait 15 years for a real promotion.At that times promotions in Legal Cadre are not there.To repeat my life in Railways space will be sufficient.
I agree with the views that time bound promotion should be there in all branches considering the talent,equal rank to equal work with equal scale.
In fact I sent my views to 7th Pay Commission but I have not received any acknowlegement from the pay commission office.
Rafiq Ahmad Wani says
I hope that the 7th Cpc will resolve all the issues above and particularly will look into the grievances being faced by administrative staff such as LDC/UDC/HC in various CG offices,so that the staff will work with utmost satisfaction.
M.R.Venkateswarulu says
Most of the Technical staff of Food and Nutrition Board, Min. of WCD retired with one promotion with a total service more than 30 years. DPC meetings are not conducted regularly to fill vacant posts and most of them had retired without getting promotions. Even they are not considered at the later stage in spite of DOPT orders. Thus creating huge financial loss to the staff.
Somi says
Sir, I have running with my 35th year of service in central government. from last 20 years, every year I am getting award for my good performance. But during my entire service I could earn only two promotions ie., LDC to UDC & UDC to Office Supdt (Gp-B). Even though the post OS(Gp-B) is supervisory post govt. has been equated the post with UDC(NFSG) (Gp-C) of CSS/AFHQ Cadre wef.22 June 2011 which is a humiliation to the post of Office Superintendent of sub-ordinate offices. Hence the 5 Major points given should be accepted by the govt. to get a better platform to work as well as to have a peaceful retirement life to all employees of all the sectors of Govt. of India.
Gagan says
Sir
In practical LDCs and UDCs are performing equal duties and responsibilities in fact at certain places being youth LDCs are assiged more responsibilities than to UDCs hence it syggested that bith the post should get merged and their Grade Pay may be fixed Rs 2800/- as per 6CPC Scale.

Dear Sir/Madam
It is a prime duty of central government to also look into matter with all State governments that the pay scales and other related issues are implemented. The state governments not only always delay the entire process of pay comission but also never meet the same quality of that as is done by the centre. Hence the state civil service personnel are always at compromised benefits.
