AGARTALA, July 11 (TIWN): Going on its arrogant line and completely against the guidelines of Central Pay Commission , state govt is certain to make a slight rectification in the ROR in today's cabinet meeting ,ahighly placed official in the state govt revealed TIWN . The cabinet meeting is likely to be held on Tuesday noon and in today's meeting the govt will make the correction in the mistake it did while taking the decision about Revision of Pay for the employees and pensioners of state govt in April . It is really very surprising that the State going on quite contrary line of the 7th CPC , state govt gave the effect of Pay and Pension Revision from 1st April 2017 instead of 1st January 2016. Again while calculatingthe minimum pay of the lowest level of employee state govt made a grave wrong in thesl no of 'clothing ' section by multiplying 5.50 with 164.88. While the correctresult after multiplication would have been 906.84 the govt kept it 164.88 ,a grave wrong . However, it is learnt that though the govt will rectify the ROP , it will not increase the minimum pay of the lowest level employee w.e.f 1st April 2017.

Thus, the state govt remains firm on its decision to deprive the employees again for a period of 10 years after 2006. By means of detailed structure we will show the loss that the state govt employees and pensioners will have to face.

Loss to be caused due to 2.25 factor instead of 2.57 :-

1. A huge yearly loss of Rs 60000(minimum ) to Rs 9.5 lakh (maximum )
2. Yearly loss of Rs 48000 to 8 lakh only on basic pay in Revised Pay

Initial Basic Pay of Central Govt employees as per7th CPC( w.e.f 1st January 2016) :-

1)Group D -18000

2)LDC/Pry Teacher -35400

3)Graduate Teacher -44900

4)Post Graduate Teacher -46700

 Initial Basic Pay of state govt employees (w.e.f. 1st April 2017):-

1)Group D-15600

2)LDC/Pry Teacher-18140

3)Graduate Teacher –23890

4)Post Graduate Teacher – 30380

Difference in Basic pay per month (Initial):-

1. Group D -2400
2. LDC/Pry Teacher- 17260
3. Graduate Teacher -21010
4. Post Graduate Teacher -17220

Loss in Arear due to Revised Pay effect from 01/04/2017 by state govt instead of 01/01/2016 by 6th CPC :-

A minimum loss of Rs 75000to Rs 11 lakh as arears of 15 months

Loss caused to pensioners :-

Around 41000 employees , who retired from 31st January 2016 to 31st March 2017 , now have to suffer a huge loss of Rs 8 lakh to Rs 23 lakh only on Gratuity as the state govt made the Revised Pay effect from 1st April 2017 while the Central Govt made the said effect from 1st January 2016 as perrecommendations of 7th CPC .

Loss in Gratuity :-

1. As per 6th CPC Gratuity ceiling of Central Govt was Rs 10 lakh while the state govt's gratuity ceiling was Rs 4 lakh only .

2)As per recommendations of 7th CPC Central Govt has accepted the Gratuity ceiling of Rs20 lakh while state govt has decided to give maximum gratuity benefit of Rs 10 lakh

     House Rental Allowance(HRA) :-

1. Union Govt has declared that the HRA will be given as 30%( for cities with a population of 50 lakh), 20%( in citieswith a population of 5 to 50 lakh ) and 10%( in cities with a population of below 5 lakh )respectively without any maximum ceiling
2. State govt has decided to give HRA of 8% with a maximum limit of Rs3000 .

Speaking to TIWN on Monday night a top level official of Finance Department said," The state govt will make corrections in ROP but the fact is that as Finance Minister Bhanu Lal Saha categorically mentioned that salary won't increase further for this correction , it is clear that the employees and pensioners won't benefited for this correction as the Minimum Pay of the Lowest Level employee won't increase ."

 Thus, the state employees and pensioners will reel under deprivation of state govt led by CM Manik Sarkar and Finance Ministe Bhanu Lal Sahaagain for a period of 10 years like they did from 2006 .

Now, for not imlementing the Pay Revision w.e.f. 1st January 2016 the state govt employees are directy deprived one anuual increment in revised pay structure. Again the state govt wont give effect of  notional fixation from 1st January 2017 which means that Manik-Bhanu team is delibertete denying the employees right though in term it is called a Communist govt.
