Pay hike for KSCB staff

The State government has issued orders revising the pay scales of employees of the Kerala State Cooperative Bank with retrospective effect from April 1, 2007.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Cooperation and Coir Development Minister G. Sudhakaran said the government had accepted the pay revision report of a panel headed by the Principal Secretary (Cooperatives), according to which the minimum upward revision for the last grade employee will be Rs.1,500 and that of Chief General Manager will be Rs.11,000.

The KSCB will have to incur an additional burden of Rs.18 lakh a month or Rs. 2.16 crore a year. The Board of Directors had been authorised to work out the details of arrear payment.

He said the existing running master scale of Rs.6,000-37,700 had been revised to Rs.7,825-50,450. The following are the revised pay scales for various categories of employees with the existing scale in brackets: Peon/attender 7,825-20,975 (6,000-14,775), Clerk: 9,625-28,375 (7,375-19,975) Junior Assistant: 11,750-32,050 (8,925-24,775) Accounts Officer: 14,375-38,350 (10,975- 29,300), Deputy General Manager: 20,975-48,950 (15,925-36,575) Chief General Manager: 25,075-50,450 (19,250-37,700).

Employees would get 6.25 per cent fitment and 24 per cent dearness allowance along with the basic pay from the date of opting for the new scale or from April 1, 2007. The pay revision committee's recommendation for one increment for 10 years of service and two increments for 20 years service also have been accepted.

Employees would get a house rent allowance of 10 per cent of the salary, subject to a limit of Rs.2,000, besides three stagnation increments. The commission's recommendation for higher grade promotion for the sub-staff category depending on the years of service has also been accepted.

The government had sanctioned special pay for qualified employees ranging between Rs.500 to 700, over and above the pay committee's recommendation with a view to induct professionalism in its services.

The Minister pointed out that the government had sanctioned the pay revision even though the KSCB was going through difficult times. Bank Chairman Koliyakode Krishnan Nair said the bank was in the red mainly on account of the inhospitable attitude of the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), which had failed to extend refinance for farm loans.

Despite this, the bank had advanced farm loans, suffering loss in interest component to the tune of Rs. 12 crore.

Army gets New officers’ Academy, adds Muscle with Indigenous Tank

YEAR-END REVIEW – 2010
Indian Army


Highlights

The Year 2010 marked a leap towards fulfilling the urgent need of the Army to bridge the shortfall in its Officers Cadre with the approval of the second Officers Training Academy (OTA) at Gaya in Bihar. Indigenization got a big boost as the Army decided to place an order for another 124 Main Battle Tanks MBT Arjun and conducted pre-induction trials of the 3,500 kms long Agni-3 ballistic missile. Also during the year a change of guard took place at the top with General VK Singh taking charge.

CCS nod to 2nd OTA at Gaya

In February, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) gave its nod for setting up an OTA at Gaya, the second in the country after Chennai, at an initial cost of Rupees 360 crores. Expected to start functioning by June next year, the Academy will groom 250 cadets initially and the number is expected to go up to 750 at its bloom. The step will go a long way in mitigating the shortage of officers in the one million strong Indian Army, which presently has around 36,000 Officers on roll as against a sanctioned strength of 47,000.

Army opts for 124 more MBT Arjuns

            In a major thrust to the indigenization programme, the Army decided to place a fresh order for an additional 124 MBT Arjun Mark-2 tanks. This followed the success of the indigenous tank in the grueling desert trials in the first quarter of this year. The 124 tanks now being ordered are over and above the existing order of an equal number of MBT Arjun Mark-I placed with the Heavy Vehicles Factory, Avadi.

Army tests Agni-3

In February the Army conducted the successful pre-induction test firing of the Agni-3. The 17-metres long marker pen shaped missile can carry a 1.5 ton nuclear payload to a distance in a radius of 3,500 kms. The missile achieved textbook precision, attaining a maximum altitude of 350 kms and withstood temperatures in the range of 3,000 degrees Celsius during its flight.

New chief

General Vijay Kumar Singh took over charge as the 24th Chief of Army Staff on 31st March. Commissioned into the Rajput Regiment on June 14, 1970, General Singh participated in the 1971 Indo-Pak War and the IPKF Operations in Sri Lanka.

Joint Exercises, Peace Keeping

            A Russian military contingent participated in the ten-day-long Indo-Russian Joint Exercise Indra-10 in the Kumaon Hills of Ranikhet, Uttarakhand in October. Earlier a contingent of the 16 Madras (Travancore) Regiment took part in the 10th edition of the Indo-US Joint Exercise Shatrujeet at Camp Pendelton, California. In October a 15-member contingent of the Botswana Defence Force participated in the Joint Exercise Milap in Dehra Dun. Seven men of the Corps of Engineers went to Cambodia to train the Royal Cambodia Armed Forces in demining, demolition and Counter-IED operations. During the three-week-long training 72 men were trained this year alone as part of the three-year-old programme.

            On the flip side, an Indian Army camp in Congo operating under MONUSCO, the UN Mission at Kirumba base, came under an attack on 18th August by about 50-60 rebels, suspected to be of the Maymayi group. Three Indian Army personnel were martyred and seven wounded as the valiant men fought back the rebels. Later another attack by about 30-40 men of the same group at Rwindi was repulsed on 25th October.

CWG- Saviours in distress

            When a bridge collapsed at the showpiece Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on the eve of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army stepped in at the eleventh hour, laying across a temporary Bailey bridge near the venue, and, as the Defence Minister Shri AK Antony later said, “Saved the day, really saved the day.”

            The Army was also visible at all the venues throughout the 12-day ceremony, the tall and mustachioed armymen at the Flag Hoisting and Medal Distribution ceremonies winning applause with their immaculate turnout.

Adventure Sports – Base Jumping, first in the country

            On 29th October, skydiver Lt. Colonel Satyendra Verma made a skydive from a height of 158 metres off the Pitampura TV Tower in Delhi. He thus became the first man to undertake a BASE (Building, Antenna, Spam (Bridge) or Earth Cliff) Jump in the country.

Sophisticated equipments i.e. MRI & CT scan have been installed in ESIC Hospitals at Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi.
Social Security: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization  
            The ‘Modernization Project’ is being implemented with technical assistance of National Informatics Centre (NIC).  This project is conceptualized in two phases.  The first phase that has currently been implemented covers services that are rendered to members i.e. claims settlement and issue of annual accounts slips.
            The following benefits are likely to accrue: The time period for settlement of a claim of any type is expected to be less than 30 days.  Annual accounts slips of members: The shift from the present manual to the new system would make accounts slip preparation both quicker and accurate. Electronic payments: In the new system payments to members would be made through NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) mode.  This will ensure that claims once settled will be credited to members’ accounts within 2 days instead of sending cheques by post which is time consuming. Database update and cleaning: The new system has a robust database in the backend and provides opportunity for gradual cleaning and updating of the database.  A clean and updated database translates into better servicing for members.
Child Labour:
            In pursuance of Government’s commitment to eliminate child labour in hazardous areas, the National Child Labour Project (NCLP) Scheme covers 271 districts. Over 6.47 lakh children from special schools of NCLPs have been mainstreamed into the formal education system so far.

Vocational Training with a view to creating a world-class skilled labour force is being given maximum importance. To help the youth build their career, training courses are offered through a network of 2178 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and 6464 Industrial Training Centres (ITCs) located all over the country.  About 1.19 million training seats are available in these Institutes.   Action continued for upgradation of 100 ITIs with domestic resources, 400 ITIs with World Bank assistance and 1396 ITIs in specific trade and skills under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode so as to create Centres of Excellence for producing multi-skilled workforce of world standard. The ‘Skill Development Initiative’ (SDI) Scheme was started in 2006-07 for the school drop-outs and existing workers especially in the informal sector. Action was taken to achieve the objective to train one million persons in first five years in Modular Employable Skills (MES) framework and thereafter one million every year. Apprenticeship Training is offered to the school leavers and the ITI passed-out persons through a network of 25,472 establishments in 235 designated trades with an objective to provide skilled workers for the industry.  A quota of 2.94 lakh has been fixed to engage apprentices in these designated trades. Skill Development Courses in diversified areas exclusively for women are being offered through 1,213 ITIs / ITCs with the intake capacity of 51,804. However Basic, Advanced, Instructors Skill Training and Short-term courses are offered at National Vocational training Institute (NVTI) and 10 Regional Vocational training Institutes (RVTIs) exclusively for Women with about 3,764 training seats.  A special scheme to train youth of J&K region under SDI scheme is being launched. Under the scheme, 8,000 youths are proposed to be trained in 2010-11 and 8,000 in 2011-12 of which 25% will be trained within J & K itself and 75% will be trained outside the State. Training cost would be fully borne by the Central Government.  Trainees would be provided boarding, lodging & travel expenses, if they are required to stay away from their home. To facilitate an accelerated and sustainable transformation and for expansion of outreach of the vocational training , a scheme  has been prepared  to set up 1,500 ITIs and  5,000 Skill Development Centres (SDCs) in PPP mode  under  a project ‘Kaushal Vikas Yojana’ .
            For Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas also a scheme in being initiated to wean away youth from violent and destructive activities, namely, ‘Skill Development Plan for youth of 35 Districts affected by Left Wing Extremism’. As a short term measure 5,000 youth of the region would be trained in identified existing ITIs / ITCs. As a long term measure 228 ITIs and 927 SDCs are proposed to be set up in identified 35 districts across eight states affected by LWE.             A new centrally sponsored scheme for Upgradation of 20 ITIs and supplementing infrastructure deficiencies in 28 ITIs in NE states and Sikkim is being formulated.
            All the 969 Employment Exchanges in the country are  being modernized in Public Private Partnership mode at a cost of Rs.2,167 crore under e-governance  plan. Under the Project, a national web-portal will be developed, which on the one hand will have the requirement of the industry and on the other hand, the available skilled manpower. In addition, these Employment Exchanges will also assess the existing competencies of the job-seekers, provide them counseling and guidance and help in their placement in the industry. The National Employment Policy is being formulated and the Report to the People on Employment has been placed in the public domain.

Impact of Economic Slow-Down on Employment:

EMPLOYEES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE CAT JUDGMENT IN SC

NEW DELHI: Bad news is in store for government employees contesting matters relating to their service conditions in the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) as they may not be able to challenge the judgment in the Supreme Court.

            Government employees not satisfied with CAT orders on their service matters will continue to appeal in High Courts as government's plan to enable them approach the apex court directly has received a thumbs down from the top law officer.

            Recently, the Department of Personnel had asked the Law Ministry whether the present system of CAT orders being challenged in High Courts be changed to fast track disposal of cases of government employees relating to their service conditions and employment rules.

            The Law Ministry referred the matter to Attorney General Ghoolam Vahanvati who opined against the move saying a 1997 Supreme Court judgment on the issue should continued to be followed.

            "As of now, the buck stops here (on the issue)," Law Minister M Veerappa Moily told PTI when asked to comment on Vahanvati's opinion.

            He said his ministry was trying to find a solution. "But I would not like to add anything more to it," he added.

            When the CAT was established in 1985 by an Act of Parliament, its rules clearly stated that its judgments on service related matters of state and central government employees can only be challenged in the apex court.

            While the same rules is in operation even today, a 1997 Supreme Court ruling held that judicial review is the basic feature of the Constitution and a High Court's power on judicial review cannot be taken away.

            After the judgment, appeals against CAT rulings were entertained in High Courts.

            "The Armed Forces Tribunal Act has been borrowed from CAT. Appeals against Tribunal's orders can only be challenged in the Supreme Court. But in CAT's case, it has become a three tier system...the entire purpose of CAT has been defeated," said a CAT functionary.

            He said while CAT usually disposes off a case in six months, appeal in High Court often takes years.

            "They pay Rs 50 as fee to move CAT, but they have to pay thousands of rupees in High Court...if the matter reaches Supreme Court, the time and cost involved is massive," he said.

PU teachers rally for pay fixation

PATNA: Hundreds of Patna University (PU) teachers staged a massive demonstration in front of the vice-chancellor here on Tuesday in protest against the alleged dilly-dallying tactics adopted by the authorities concerned in fixation of their salaries in the revised pay scale.

The call for demonstration was given by the Patna University Teachers Association. The teachers led by association's acting president S M Ashok and general secretary Randhir Kumar Singh assembled at the PU office and shouted slogans in support of their demand.

Later, a delegation of the agitating teachers met vice-chancellor Shyam Lal and pointed out that a decision to implement the revised UGC pay scales for college and university teachers was taken by the state government in the month of July and a letter to this effect was sent to all the universities by the HRD department on July 29 last.

As per the government decision, the teachers were supposed to get revised salaries from the month of September. Teachers of various categories filled up the prescribed proforma of revised scale and submitted them to the registrar in the month of August. However, the pay fixation has been kept pending for the last two months due to the failure of the university in convening a meeting of the pay fixation committee.

The VC assured the delegation that the meeting of the pay fixation committee would be held on Wednesday and their pay fixation would be finalized immediately. He further assured the delegation that teachers would start getting their revised salaries soon.

Consumer protection: Sri Arvind Mahila College, a constituent unit of Magadh University, organised essay and debate competitions on consumer protection for its students here on Tuesday. A large number of girls participated in these events.

Addressing the students, Hindi litterateur U N Mishra highlighted the importance of consumers protection forum and said that every citizen must be aware of his rights as a consumer. College teachers Usha Jha, Asha Tripathi, Arun Kumar, Premi Kumar and V. Maurya also addressed the students. Bimla Sinha presided over the meet.

PUBLIC PROVIDENT FUND (PPF) TO END ALL TIES WITH HUFs

NAGPUR: Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) across the country will to have take back their money lying in the public provident fund (PPF) 15-year savings scheme. After the government stopped fresh investment by HUFs in PPF from May 2005, many continued to have the money parked in the scheme as it earned them a 8% tax-free interest. Some were older investments yet to finish the 15-year period while the others availed a five-year extension that was available in the scheme.

However, the ministry of finance in a recent notification has said that money shall be refunded as soon as the 15-year period ends for the PPF accounts opened before May 13 2005 on behalf of HUFs. For those accounts where the 15-year period has already ended, the money will be refunded on March 31 next year.

This means those accounts opened after the ban in 2005 was imposed will be allowed to continue only till the tenure ends while the others will be terminated at the end of the current financial year.

"There are many accounts which are running on a five-year extension. But, with the current rule, they will be terminated by March end, no matter the extension period has ended or not," said a source dealing with PPF and other small savings schemes like the national savings certificate (NSC), Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) and post office recurring deposits. These are managed by the city-based National Savings Institute (NSI).

Fresh investments by HUFs into PPF was stopped as it was observed that the facility was being largely misused. Investments were made in the name of HUFs as well as individuals as both are considered as separate entities. This allowed the investors to earn the 8% tax-free income both as a HUF and an individual. This continued even after the ban came into place.

The philosophy of small savings is to provide savings window mainly to the middle class or those living in remote areas where banking services are not available.

The move to put an end to the scheme for HUFs is also aimed to increase the direct tax collections by removing the loopholes which provide a leeway for claiming undue tax exemption.

The government has paid Rs 9,300 crore of interest on PPF as on 2009-10 at 8%. With this, the total investment of Rs 116250 crore is estimated to be lying in the PPF accounts. According to rough estimates, around 10% of the investment at Rs 11,625 crore is from the HUFs, which will now be refunded.

The total amount invested in different small savings schemes are accumulated as the national small savings fund which stands at over 7,00,000 crore invested in special securities of the state as well as the central government.
