National Anomaly Committee |
Feedback on the 3rd meeting of the National Anomaly Committee 3rd meeting of the National Anomaly Committee was held yesterday, i.e. on 15th February, 2011 under the chairmanship of Secretary(P), DoPT(Government of India), wherein the following deliberations were made. Though we know that no substantial relief has been given, but we hope for some outcome in the meetings likely to be held in future. Two issues which are very important from our point of view – one is increment from January for those who falls between February and June was virtually rejected by the Ministry of Finance(Expenditure) but yesterday we again raised this issue, and after prolonged discussions, the Secretary, DoP&T had agreed to review the matter. An indication has also been given that if Staff Side agrees for one time exemption, then the issue can be resolved. We also raised the issue of MACP Scheme, particularly abolition of GP Rs.2000. The Jt. Secretary(Estt.) stated that we would hold another round of discussions before finalizing the issues related to MACP Scheme. During my opening remarks, though it was out of agenda, I raised the issue of early finalization of items of Departmental Anomaly Committee which are pending with the MoF(Exp). I stated that the Departmental Anomaly Committee of Railways had sent unanimous recommendations on various items to MoF(Exp.). More than nine months have passed and these issues are still pending with the MoF and the Railwaymen are feeling lot of frustration and therefore these need immediate redressal. Though orders for Cadre Restructuring have been issued by the DoP&T vide O.M.No.35034/9/2010-Estt.(D) dated 10th February, 2011, we raised the issue that Matching Savings is not possible in the case of Railways. The President/AIRF and Secretary, NC/JCM(Staff Side) also emphasized on the issue and stated that in the Safety Categories, Railways cannot give Matching Savings. Therefore, for Cadre Restructuring, Matching Savings should not be insisted upon. It has been agreed by the Jt.Secretary(Pers.) that if reference comes from the Railways, that would be considered favorable. Apart from the above issues, we also discussed agenda items which were not discussed so far in the National Anomaly Committee. Item No.11: Grant revised allowances w.e.f. 1.1.2006 – Staff Side will give list of allowances. Thereafter, it will be discussed. |

Who will clarify. If anyone can answere please do
A pathetic comment,
So much of aggressiveness, distress and agony has been expressed by the LDCs and UDCs for the injustice done to these categories by the VIth CPC and thereafter by introduction of the MACP Scheme. The clerical staff has been placed in such a situation that they are constrained to lead a stressful life, always waiting for the next salary day to come. This clearly indicates that there is no requirement of clerical work now and it has lost gravity and importance. Also it seems that there is a perception that the clerical work can be performed by a Class IV trade employee or by any industrial tradesmen. Well, if that’s the case, I have a wise suggestion – please stop any further recruitment of LDCs completely; this will have two benefits, one – no one’s life will be spoiled by joining a Govt service as LDC and two – the Govt will be able to save its exchequer. Gradually, the strength/holding of the clerical staff will come to an end due to retirement, etc. Then there will be no clerical staff left to express distress or agony and the chapter will be closed for ever.
