It’s seems after your increment as on 1-7-1918 of Rs.60,400/- in matrix level 6 to 7 as on MACP upgradrations from 30-8-18 as advance increment of Rs.62,200/-, so you will not get increment on 1-7-19 and your basic pay will get in matrix level 7 in pay of RS.64,100/- from 1-7-20 as higher level increment.

Answer: M.K.Kumar replied (July 9, 2019)
If Your basic pay as 1/7/19 as ₹ 58,600, at MACP from 20/4/20 (give option) is given as advance increment of ₹ 60,400 in level 7 and no increment on 1/7/1920. Next DNI on 1/7/21 as ₹ 62,200/- in level 8.

Question: VIJAY KUMAR GUPTA asked (June 28, 2019)
I was drawing my pay Rs. 75600 till December 2018 in the pay level of 9 and holding the post of AO. I have been promoted as Sr.AO in the level of 10 from 01.01.2019. I could only join my upgraded post of Sr.AO on 07.01.2019 and opted my pay fixation from the date of next increment (DNI) which falls on 01.07.2019. My office has fixed my pay on DNI as Rs. 82400 in level 10 by following Rule 13 of pay rule 2016 and allowed me to draw my pay in the upgraded pay (Level-10) @ Rs. 77700 (being the higher pay in next level-10) from 07.01.2019 to 30.06.2019. But they indicated the DNI as July 2020 in the pay fixation fixation order.
Department of Expenditure, MoF had circulated OM dated 31 July 2018 stating that if some one as opted to get his pay fixed with DNI then his pay will be fixed as per rule 13 and he is entitled to get his first annual increment in the upgraded scale on completion of minimum qualifying period of 6 months and subsequent increment will be granted on annual basis. This is the main spirit of the OM.
In my case, being opted for my pay fixation from the date of next increment (DNI) i.e. 01.07.2019 even join the post of Sr.AO from 07.01.2019, my pay has been fixed correctly @ 82400 but they indicated DNI as 01.07.2020 which appeared not as per the OM dated 31.07.2018.
Please clarify whether my DNI will be 01.01.2020 or 01.07.2020.
Answer: M.K.Kumar replied (June 28, 2019)
If your upgrade basic pay as your MACP on completion of 10/20/30 years it is correct as per rules. Nobody will get annual increment on January month. Since you got the advance increment from 7/1/19, you are not eligible for increment on 1/7/1999 your upgrades Matrix Level 10 from 1/7/20 as ₹ 82,400/-.

Question: Maniram asked (June 17, 2019)
Sir my basic pay is 35300 rs on 01/07/2019 & MACP is due on 08/07/2019
Presently my pay level 4 & after MACP pay level change on 08/07/2019. In level 5 .after MACP how much rupees increase after MACP
Answer: M.K.Kumar replied (June 17, 2019)
You give your opinion from the MACP upgradrations from 8/7/2019 as on your basic pay will be ₹ 36,400/- of advance increment and no increment on 1/7/2020. Your next increment of ₹ 37,500/- from 1/7/2021 as in matrix level 5.

Those completing six month or more period of duty/service on a given
stage under 6thCPC before 30th june are also eligible for increment on 1st
July.Under6CPC employees retired on 30th June may fall into two
categories-those who got their last increments exactly one year back but
retired on 30th June. Second category include those retirees who got
promotion to higher post between 2nd July and 31st December and have thus
completed 6 or more months making them eligible for next increment on 1st
July immediately following the date of their retirement on 30June,the
preceding day. Further it added that under FR26(a) all duty on time scale
counts for increment in that time scale. Since Fundamental Rules are framed
under article 309 of the Indian Constitution, no authority in administration
can deny the benefit of his/her duty as government whether it is given to
employees on actual basis or to retirees of 30th June on notional basis. This
is the position of FR26 since 1967.Unfortunately under government the date of
increments remained changing in the past The peculiar case came only when
under 6thCPC a uniform date of increments is fixed as July 1st.The position
of qualifying Duty/service under FR 26 for increment rendered by retirees of
30thJune deserves favourable clarification for grant of increment on July
1st. Government must come forward with speaking decision as to how it intends
to give the reward of services rendered to government. It is done for the
employees who are continuing in service but how can a government forfeit the
benefit of FR26 framed under article 309 of the Indian constitution the
retirees of June30th.

Strike will be organised on 10 points charter of demands of Confederation (reproduced below). First and most important demand of the strike will be “Scrap NPS & Restore OPS”. In connection with the strike, following decisions are taken.

1. Strike campaign is most important. The message of the strike and the demands raised should reach each and every Central Govt. employee and pensioner. Notices, pamphlets, posters etc. should be printed and circulated among all employees.

Maximum campaign through websites, journals of affiliates, print and electronic media and social media should be made by each affiliated Unions/Associations/Federations and C-O-Cs. The campaign should be intensified in the coming days.

2. Each affiliated organization of Confederation should issue separate circulars to their lower units instructing them to participate in the two days strike and also to organise intensive campaign programmes for ensuring 100% participation of employees of each affiliate in the strike.

It is noticed that, during previous strikes, some of the affiliates had not issued any separate circulars and no specific instructions to participate in the strike was given to their lower units. This has created problem for other organisations also at the lower level. This time every affiliate should issue their own circulars to lower units.

3. All State/District level C-O-Cs should convene their managing body meetings immediately and work out detailed plan for intensive campaign among the employees under their jurisdiction. C-O-Cs should play an effective and leading role in making the strike a grand success.

4. All affiliated organisations should plan and announce their own separate campaign tour programme of their leaders for organizing strike at all centres and all offices.

This is most important. Unless the leaders of affiliates make their own campaign tour programmes, the strike cannot be organised in an effective manner in all units.

5. Confederation National Secretariat Members will be visiting only selected important centres in each state for campaign meetings. The tour programme of National Secretariat members will be published shortly.

Programme may be finalized by mutual consultation of C-O-C leaders and National Secretariat members concerned. (Campaign by each affiliate and C-O-C is given top most priority as the National Secretariat members are attending limited meetings only.)

6. Strike notice should be served by each affiliate separately to their departmental head on 12-12-2018 (6th anniversary day of 12-12-2012 one day strike). Confederation Central headquarters will serve strike notice to Cabinet Secretary on 12-12-2018.

Copy of the strike notice should be served to all lower authorities also organizing mass demonstrations of maximum employees. Complaints are received that some of the affiliates never serve separate strike notice to their Departmental head and also never circulate the copy of the strike notice served to lower units.

As a result, when C-O-C leaders approach, their lower unit leaders say that they have not received any instructions from their Central headquarters to participate in the strike. This time Central Headquarters of all affiliated organisations should serve strike notice to their departmental heads and should also issue instructions to their lower units to participate in the strike.

Affiliation of those organisations which are not serving strike notice or issuing instruction to their lower units to participate in the two days strike will be withdrawn, as their is no meaning in continuing the affiliation of those organisations which do not implement the decision of the National Secretariat of Confederation.

7. If due to unavoidable circumstances, any organisation cannot serve the strike notice on 12-12-2018, they may serve the strike notice on any other day before 23-12-2018.

8. Even though all the leaders of Confederation and its affiliates are well aware of the full details of each demand raised in the 10 point charter of demands including NPS, it is decided to publish detailed note on each demands in the Confederation website in coming days as campaign material and talking points.

9. As almost all Central Govt. employees and pensioners are agitated over the unhelpful and negative attitude of the NDA Government, there is every possibility of making the two days strike a thundering success, provided the leadership of each affiliates and C-O-Cs rise upto the occasion and start mobilization now onwards with all seriousness.

Our wages and other benefits are under attack.
Our job security is under attack.
Our social security is under attack.
Our trade union rights are under attack.

Let us intensify our struggles from defensive to offensive and defeat the anti-worker policies of the Government. Central Govt. employees can do it under the banner of Confederation.

Make the two days strike historic success. Remember, we are not alone, the entire working class of India belonging to Banks, Insurance, BSNL and other public sectors, State Govt. employees and Teachers etc. etc. are all on strike on 2019 January 8th & 9th.

Don’t be a spectator, join the strike proudly and be a part of the fighting working class of India. Our slogan is “change the disastrous neo-liberal policies, or else we shall change the Government”.

OBSERVE 2018 DECEMBER 12 as “SCRAP NPS & RESTORE OPS” DEMANDS DAY

National Secretariat of Confederation has decided to observe 12th December 2018 (strike notice serving day) as Demands Day raising the demand – “Scrap NPS & Restore OPS” throughout the country.

All affiliates and C-O-Cs are requested to observe the day in a befitting manner by conducting demonstrations in front of all offices, organizing gate meetings/general bodies and also wearing badges with the slogan – “Scrap NPS & Restore OPS”.

The struggle against NPS is getting intensified day by day. Delhi State Govt. has passed a resolution in the State Assembly demanding the Central Govt. to scrap NPS imposed on Delhi State Govt. employees.

State Govts. of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu has already appointed Expert Review Committees to submit recommendations regarding modalities for scrapping of NPS and restoring OPS. Tamilnadu State Government employees and Teachers (all organisations) have decided to organise indefinite strike demanding scraping of NPS and restoration of OPS.

Confederation is in touch with other organisations in Central Sector and is exploring the possibility of organizing higher form of trade union action including indefinite strike.

After the two days strike on January 8th & 9th, an All India Convention of NPS employees along with other like-minded organisations will be organised. Our ultimate aim is to organise an indefinite strike, no sooner than later, exclusively on one demand ie; “scrap NPS & Restore OPS”.

3. All India Trade Union Education Camp of Confederation:
National Secretariat meeting decided to organise an All India Trade Union Camp of Confederation. Venue, date etc. will be finalized in consultation with C-O-Cs shortly and detailed circular will be issued thereafter.
