Subject: Refund of Penal Interest on LTC Claims.

Sir,

I am writing to request your attention to the matter of the penal interest charged to Group ‘B’ & ‘C’ Defence Civilian employees who had availed LTC to NER, J&K, A&N Islands by air after purchasing tickets from private/ unauthorized travel agents. As you may recall, vide letter No. BPMS / DoP&T/ LTC / 50 (7/2/R), Dated 10.11.2014 this federation requested the DoP&T as well as MOD to consider the issues related to LTC and in turn the Ministry of Defence had sent a proposal to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on 09.02.2017 seeking a one-time relaxation in this regard.

The DoPT had sympathetically considered the matter and had communicated via I.D. Note No. 43020/2/2016 -Estt.(A-IV), dated 19.02.2020, that such relaxation would be granted with the concurrence of the Financial Advisor of the concerned Ministry/ Department, subject to certain conditions. However, before the relaxation could be granted, the audit authorities had already recovered the advance/ claimed amount along with the charging of penal interest.

Now that the cases have been considered and the claims have been settled by granting one-time relaxation, it is only fair that the penal interest charged to the affected employees be refunded. We request you to kindly initiate the necessary steps to refund the penal interest to those employees whose claims have been allowed by granting one-time relaxation. We hope that you will take swift action in this matter and ensure that justice is done to the affected employees.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely yours

Subject: Payment of Night Duty Allowance on actual pay of 7th CPC, without any ceiling.

Sir,
With due regards, it is submitted that this federation has been demanding the removal of the artificial ceiling of Rs. 43600/- for eligibility for Night Duty Allowance in Defence Installations which has been imposed vide DoPT OM dated 13.07.2020. This issue has been raised in the Additional Mechanism meeting of MoD as well as various JCM-III Level Councils.

This issue was discussed in the National Council (JCM) meeting held under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary on 26.06.2021 as Agenda Point No. 5.22 Item No. NC48/19/21 and after prolonged discussion the Chairman asked the Secretary (P) and Secretary (Exp.) to resolve the issue expeditiously.

Later, it was also discussed in National Council (JCM) meeting held under the Chairmanship of Secretary (P) on 30.07.2021 as Agenda No. 4.2 Item No. NC-47/31/19 -Litigation cases on service matter wherein AS (E), DoPT stated that the guidelines issued by DoPT on the subject matter are not for the industrial employees working under the MoD. Hence, MoD has to take a conscious decision in the matter.

Therefore, you are requested to issue necessary instructions/clarifications to remove this artificial ceiling of Rs. 43600/- for defence civilians for eligibility of Night Duty Allowance so that all the eligible employees may get their legitimate monetary benefits without further delay.

Thanking you.
