Committee to examine tbe recryme3f;1ig€f
7* CPC regardingAllowances-reg.
In the committee meeting held on 1"t September2016, underthe Chairmanshipof FinanceSecretaryat North Block (Room No. 72) New Delhi, the Standing Cormitee Members of JCM (Statr Side) expressed views on 7b CPC recommendations on Allowances. After hearing the riews, the Cbairman of tbe meeting stated that further meetings will be held and suggestedthat in the meantime the StaffFederations may sendthe list containing deparhlent qpecific Allowances to the concemedadminist'ative ministries and JCM (StaffSide) may send list of common allowances to JS fftap) MoF, New Delhi for consideration. The Railway Board Chairmanwas also presentdurihg discussionsheld on 1" September2016. I
this connection, NFIR desiresto convey to the Railway Board tlat-
(a) while the previous Pay Commission had doubled various Aliou'ances, the 76 CPC has recommeaded enhancementof only 50% of tbe existing rates in those casesof a felt, allou'ancesrecommendedto be retained. This needsto be revien'ed for improvement. {b) The 7n CPC recommendations - nnainly on Night Duty A1lor','ance,National Holiday Allowance, Transport Allorn'ance would in effect result reduction of existing amounts. These aberrationsare requirld to be rectified and tlie amouritof allowanceseniranced. (c) Witii regard ro Aiios'ances for F.unaing StatTiike Kilor:ieferage,AJ-K etc., iirere sl:ouicibe sepaiale discussionsbefw-eenthe Fedeiationsand P,ail:n'ayBoard for revisionaaCinprcvenc:li as iras dcle in the past. Attention is also invited to Para 8.i1.19 andS-11.20of the 7'CPC repcrt. (d) The Pay Commission in its report vide Para 8.2.5 has statedthat any allorn'ancenot mentioned(aiid hence not reporfed to the Commission) shall ceaseto exist immediately. The Pay Commissionhas fi5&er stated that in case fhere is any demand or requirementfor continuation of existing allowance, which has not been deliberated upon by the Commission, it should be re-notified by the Ministry concerned after obtaining due approval of MoF. NFIR suggeststlut this Para of the report be rejected by tlie Government. Altenatively, tire administrat!'re ministries be empoweredfor continuanceof any such allowance, duly apprising the necessifyof continuation to the MoF. Federation also requeststhe Railway Board to kindly place before the Committee (chaired by Finance Secretary) the vaiid points brou-ebt out by the Federation tlrough tbis letter and also impress upon the committle to retain the allowances listed in the Annexure aad their enhancement,considering the fact that the R.ai1'*'a)'s'working is unique, complex and not eo:aparabler,r'ithany other ilGnisa7.
