<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Answer : As per the New Pension Scheme, the total Dearness Allowance is to be taken into account for working out the contributions to Tier-I.

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has clarified vide their O.M. no. A45012/11/97-CHS.V dated 7-4-98 that the Non-Practising Allowance shall count as ‘pay’ for all service benefits.

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Answer : In cases where Government servants apply for posts in the same or other departments and on selection they are asked to render technical resignation, the past services are counted towards pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Since the Government servant had originally joined government service prior to 1-1-2004, he should be covered under the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.</span></span></b></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The West Bengal State Government too issued a circular a day before , in which it has been said that no leave will be granted to its employees during the strike, and if they aren’t present in office it will be treated as dies non with no salary admissible if they don’t give a suitable reason and produce proper documents for refraining from turning up for duty.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What is Dies non ?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Dies non: In service terms, “dies non” means a day, which cannot be treated as duty for any purpose. It does not constitute break in service. But the period treated as ‘dies non’ does not qualify as service for pensionary benefits or increment.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>As per the Postal Manual Volume III, Central Civil Services (Classification,Control and appeal) rules, 1965, the Absence of officials from duty without proper permission or when on duty in office, they have left the office without proper permission or while in the office, they refused to perform the duties assigned to them is subversive of discipline. In cases of such absence from work, the leave sanctioning authority may order that the days on which work is not performed be treated as dies non, i.e. they will neither count as service nor be construed as break in service. This will be without prejudice to any other action that the competent authorities might take against the persons resorting to such practices</b></span><br />

The instructions issued by the Department of Personnel & Training prohibit the Government servants from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go-slow etc. or any action that abet any form of strike in violation of Rule 7 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964. Besides, in accordance with the proviso to Rule 17(1) of the Fundamental Rules, pay and allowances is not admissible to an employee for his absence from duty without any authority. As to the concomitant rights of an Association after it is formed, they cannot be different from the rights which can be claimed by the individual members of which the Association is composed. It follows that the right to form an Association does not include any guaranteed right to strike. There is no statutory provision empowering the employees to go on strike. The Supreme Court has also agreed in several judgments that going on a strike is a grave misconduct under the Conduct Rules and that misconduct by the Government employees is required to be dealt with in accordance with the law. Any employee going on strike in any form would face the consequences which, besides deduction of wages, may also include appropriate disciplinary action. In this connection, your kind attention is also drawn to this Department’s OM No. 33012/1(s)/2008-Estt (B) (pt) dated 12th September, 2008 (copy enclosed).</b></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The government has been trying to make the tax laws simpler every year; however, there are numerous amendments required in the tax laws. The union budget for the FY 2013-14 will be presented before the Parliament on 28th February 2013 and the finance minister has promised many reforms expected to combat inflation along with stable tax rates.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>There may also be some changes in the tax slabs to provide some relief from the ever-growing inflation. Here are a handful of the number of amendments expected and predicted by analysts in the Union Budget for 2013-2014.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Rent Allowance :</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All those people who do not have their own house and stay in a rented accommodation or employees who do not get accommodation or house rent allowance from their employer enjoy a special tax deduction on the rent paid by them. This deduction is allowed under section 80GG of the Income Tax Act in which an individual can avail 25% deduction on the rent amount. However, the limit is restricted to Rs 2000 per month and has not changed for many years, which is now expected to change this year.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Moreover, under the Income Tax Act 1961, there exist 2 dissimilar sets of tax treatments with reference to rent free lodging provided by the employer. While a Government employee only pays the license fee, non government sector employees who get rent-free lodging from their employees are taxed heavily at 7.5-15% of the salary. There is a necessity to maintain uniformity in taxes and a new system needs to be introduced offering equal rights to employees without discrimination.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Standard exemption should continue as in the past and should be given to all employees who are salaried, while the transport allowance deduction should increase.Capital Gain Scheme : </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>To save capital gain, an individual can invest in capital gain bonds according to section 54EC of the Income Tax Act. The upper investment limit under this section is Rs. 50 lakh. In the past, there was no such cap and all transactions related to property were done with white money. With the government making changes to this law few years ago and placing a limit, people have been resorting to unwanted ways to save tax. This cap, hence, is expected to be removed in the forthcoming budget.</b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I appeal to the Central Trade Unions to withdraw their call for a countrywide General Strike on 20 and 21 February, 2013. Such a strike would lead to avoidable loss to our economy and inconvenience to the public through disruption of services. While some of the issues raised by the Trade Unions are already being acted upon and others are at various stages of consideration, I have requested my senior Cabinet colleagues Shri A K Antony, Shri Sharad Pawar, Shri P Chidambaram and Shri Mallikarjun Kharge to together hold discussions with the leaders of the Trade Unions. I am confident that these discussions would result in a course of action that is acceptable both to the Trade Unions and the Government.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The postal department nationally has entered into an agreement with BSNL to provide MMOS using mobile phones.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Under MMOS, money can be transferred to any location in the country once the service is made available in post offices across the country.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>While the customers can possess SIM cards of any mobile service provider, BSNL helps generate a code in the post office where a customer deposits money along with a form. The form should contain details of the receiver along with a valid mobile number. Once deposit is made in the post office, a machine-generated code is messaged to the recipient's mobile.

The applicants have contended that due to denial of benefit of ACP Scheme to them many of the direct recruits who are junior to them in the cadre have started drawing more salary than their seniors. The applicants have further stated that all Senior Accountants regardless of the fact whether they are promotees or direct recruits are placed in a single gradation list and their seniority is determined on the basis of their date of appointment as Senior Accountants.

According to them Clause-8 of the Scheme clearly states that the financial upgradation under the Scheme is purely personal to the employee and shall have no relevance to his seniority position and as such no additional financial upgradation will be given to a senior employee on the ground that the junior employee has got higher pay scale under the ACP Scheme. The respondents argued that there is no infirmity in the Clause-8 of the Scheme placing reliance on the decisions of Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of UOI and Anr. Vs. V.R.

However, learned counsel for the applicants pointed out that the prayer of the applicants in the instant case was different.

We have seen the judgment of the Hon ble Supreme Court on which reliance has been placed by the respondents and we find that the facts and circumstances of the two cases are different. Thus, in the case of V.R. Swaminathan (supra) senior employees were demanding stepping up of pay on account of the fact that juniors had got the benefit of higher pay because they had officiated on higher post based on local/circle seniority. Further, in the other case of J.P. Chaurasia (supra) two scales had been created in the cadre of Bench Secretaries of Allahabad High Court that promotions from lower to higher scale taking place based on seniority-cum-fitness.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>9. The issue raised in this case as to whether a senior person, though having received two promotions, is entitled to stepping up of his pay at par with his junior, who has been granted benefit under ACP Scheme and by virtue of this, is receiving higher pay than his senior, stands clinched by various decisions of this Tribunal including in O.A. No. 842-JK-2007 decided on 17.11.2009 titled Madan Gopal Sharma &amp; Others Vs. Union of India &amp; Others. In that case reliance was placed on decisions of Apex Court in the case of Ram Sarup Ganda (supra) and (Gurmail Singh). Reliance was also placed on decision in the case of Harcharan Singh Sudan (supra). It was held that seniors are entitled to step up their pay as a general rule as and when any junior gets fixed in a pay scale higher to them on account of grant of ACP Scale. Para 14 of the decision in the case of Harcharan Singh Sudan (supra) in Para 14 is reproduced as under:- 14. However, one aspect is to be seen. In the case decided by the Apex Court, the State Government was the appellant and the challenge was against the High Court judgment, which held that the higher pay scale be given to the respondents at par with their juniors whose pay scale became higher on account of the benefit of ACP afforded to them. The appeal was not dismissed but partly allowed and it was declared that the respondents were entitled to stepping up of pay. In other words, there shall only be the stepping up of pay and not the pay scale. The pay scale in respect of the applicants would remain the same as of date but the pay would be fixed in appropriate stage, and if there is no stage to match the pay drawn by the junior, the difference shall be treated as one of personal pay. The pay parity would be compared annually and partly would be maintained in future</b></span></blockquote>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sir,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>This ¡s in reference to Head Office letter No. RI(UID/2010/300351 dated 21.01.2013 on the subject cited above. The issue of expeditious enrolment of the EPF members was discussed with UIDAI Officials. ¡t has emerged that UIDA1 through its registrars has been organising enrollment camps in 18 states only. Register General of India (RGI) has been collecting data in respect of the remaining states through National Population Register (NPR). While the data collected by RGI is also being processed for issue of Aadhaar numbers by UIDAI, the methodology used by RGI for setting up enrolment camps is different i.e. it is being done on the basis of house-to-house data collected by enumerators during Census Operations 2011, unlike UIDAI camps, where any resident, Irrespective of the place of residence, can get himself enrolled for Aadhaar number. This enrolment may take considerable time.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>In view of the discussions held with UIDAI officials and the time required in the process of obtaining Aadhaar numbers, it may not be possible to obtain Aadhaar number / Aadhaar Enrolment number by EPF members by 1st March,2013. Therefore, it has been decided to not to make Aadhaar Number / Enrolment number mandatory for EPF members from 1st March, 2013. However, the field offices would make maximum efforts to obtain the available Aadhaar numbers of the EPF members.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Further your attention is invited to Head Office letter no.

The updation of members’ master in database ¡s one of the standards required for the purpose. In view of the benefits that would accrue both to the EPF members as well as EPFO, It has now been decided to collect the core banking account number of all the contributing members as indicated In ECR.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Regional offices and Sub-Regional offices should make an all-out effort to collect the core banking account numbers in respect of all the contributing members as indicated in ECR.
