The post Enhancement of retirement age of PSU Bank Officers appeared first on CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES NEWS.

Five to six per cent annual pay hike of Central Government employees is likely to be linked to tangible performance criterion. Under-performers are likely to be retired by 55 or 30 years of service, according to the Seventh Pay Commission report to be submitted soon.

The overall hike being recommended by former Justice A K Mathur-headed 7th Pay Commission is around 30 per cent. The Central Government employees are scheduled to get salary hikes on the basis of the recommendations by January 1, 2016. According to sources, the house rent allowance too would see an increase by 20 per cent. But the most significant recommendation is that 5 to 6 per cent of the annual increment would be performance-based. There is also likely to be a provision of retiring underperforming employees by the age of 55 or 30 years of service, whichever is more. “The Commission has spoken to all stake-holders and the recommendations are ready. We are expecting to submit the report any time soon,” sources said.
Set up by the erstwhile UPA government in February 2014, the Seventh Pay Commission was given a four-month extension by the NDA Government. Its term is till December 31. The commission may also raise salary-levels of PSU employees.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2013-14 – Extension of orders to Autonomous Bodies.

Orders have been issued vide this Ministry’s Office Memorandum No. 7/24/2007 E-III (A) dated 16th September, 2014 authorizing 30 days emoluments as Non-PLB (Ad-hoc bonus) for the accounting year 2013-14 to the eligible Central Government employees not covered by the Productivity Linked Bonus Schemes, subject to terms and conditions laid down therein.

(i) follow the pattern of pay structure and emoluments identical to that of the Central Government and (ii) do not have any bonus or ex-gratia or incentive scheme in operation.

3. In case of doubt as to the operation of these orders the clarificatory orders, circulated vide this Ministry’s O.M. No.14(10)E-Coord/88 dated 4.10.88, as amended from time to time, may be kept in view, mutatis mutandis.

While the Autonomous Bodies not funded by the Central Government may also adopt these orders as per their own administrative and financial judgment in respect of their employees, no liability for funding will, in any case, lie on the Central Government on this account.

“We have taken up this matter with the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) Secretary and he has prepared a note which he would be soon taking to the cabinet,” Pension Fund and Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA) Chairman Yogesh Agarwal said in New Delhi.

Under the existing guidelines, if an employee of central public sector undertakings (CPSUs) does not have a minimum 15 years of services, he or she cannot join National Pension Scheme (NPS), Mr. Agarwal said on the sidelines of a seminar titled “Financial Consumer Protection” here.

“Even with the government employees earlier, the instruction was if you do not have 20 years of services, you can’t have pension. When the govt notified the guidelines for NPS they did away with the criteria,” he said.

Talking about NPS Swavalamban, he said, it is a financial inclusion product operationalised by PFRDA.

There has been an overwhelming demand for the product launched in 2010, with a CAGR of 90 per cent in the three years of operation, more than 50 per cent of the eligible subscribers being below the age of 40, he said.

The scheme, with 72 per cent of the subscribers being women, has managed to bridge the supply gap in the unorganised sector for a long term defined contribution pension scheme, he added.

Mr. Agarwal also said that PFRDA has a strong consumer protection mechanism.

“It is evident from the fact that we receive very few complaints. In order to have real consumer protection, we need to introduce features in the product design itself which could prevent mis-selling,” he said.

He further said that improving financial inclusion with adequate consumer protection requires a multi—stakeholder framework of consumer, financial institutions, industry, regulators and government.
