ADHOC PROMOTION MADE IN THE CADRE OF HSG-1

1.     Pay & Allied Issues

1.      What are all the conditions for claiming stepping up of Pay with juniors?

Ø  (i) Both senior and junior must be in the same cadre in identical pay scales and also in the same recruiting unit.

(ii) Posts to which they are promoted must also be identical and same.

(iii) At the time of promotion, senior must be getting equal or more pay than junior.

(iv) Anomaly should be direct result of application of FR 22 (c) or any pay fixation rules.

2.      How option can be made for pay fixation on date of promotion which will be advantageous?

Ø  As per the revised pay rules, if the promotion is in between 2^nd July to 31^st December, his next increment will be from 1^st July of the same year. If the promotion is accorded in between 1^st Jan to 30^th June in a year, his increment will be drawn only in the next year. So, one has to carefully study before making option for pay fixation at the time of promotion.

3.      What is the restriction under FR 35 for officiating pay when a Government is ordered to work in higher posts?

Ø  As per DOPT OM No. F/1/4/2009 - Estt (pay I) dt. 08.03.2010, for employees receiving pay in the pay band up to Rs.14880 PM (our cases), 15% of the basic pay subject to a maximum of Rs. 2000/- PM (including the difference of grade pay between the feeder and the promotional post). The annual increment @ 3% of the basic pay so fixed shall be granted.

4.      What are all the cases which will not construe under the pay anomalies?

Ø   (i) Senior getting less pay in lower post due to postponement of date of next increment on account of his proceeding on extraordinary leave.

(ii) Senior refusing promotion leading to early promotion of the junior and later promotion of the senior.

(iii) Junior getting higher pay in lower post due to adhoc arrangements.

(iv) Senior joining higher post later and getting lower pay.

(v)  Senior appointed to lower post later than the junior but getting promoted earlier than the junior.

(vi) Senior direct recruits getting less pay than the junior promotees whose pay is fixed with reference to pay last drawn.

(vii)Junior getting more pay due to additional increments earned on acquiring higher qualifications.

(DOP&T OM No. 4/7/92 – Estt (Pay I) dt. 04.11.93)

5.      Whether stepping up of pay can be allowed second time with another official?

Ø  As per DOPT order dated 22.07.1985, the benefit of stepping up of pay can be allowed to senior official second time, provided the anomaly has arisen with reference to the pay of the same junior, with reference to whom the pay of the senior was stepped up first time. As such there is no provision to step up with another person directly.

TAX concession on Education loan

Category: INCOME TAX

New Delhi, Mar 27, 2012(PIB): Section 80E of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides for a deduction to an assessee (being an individual), out of his income chargeable to tax, on account of any amount paid by him in the previous year by way of interest on loan taken by him from any financial institution or any approved charitable institution for the purpose of pursing his higher education or for the purpose of higher education of his relative.

Section 80E provides tax exemption on interest paid on the education loan.

Under the earlier provisions, the deduction was available only for pursuing full time studies for any graduate or post-graduate course in engineering, medicine, management or for post-graduate course in applied sciences or pure sciences including mathematics and statistics.
The provisions of the aforesaid section 80E were amended vide the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 by substitution clause ( c ) of sub-section (3) so as to extend its scope to cover all fields of studies (including vocational studies) pursued after passing the Senior Secondary Examination or its equivalent from any school, board or university recognized by the Central Government or State Government or local authority or by any other authority authorized by the Central Government or State Government or local authority to do so.
The above-mentioned tax incentive can be claimed by an individual depending on the amount he/she spends by way of interest on loan for higher education. There is no fund earmarked for this purpose. The expense to the Government is in the form of revenue forgone on account of such claims during a financial year. The revenue forgone during the year 2010-11 on account of deduction under section 80E, as reported in the Receipts Budget 2012-13, is Rs. 138 crores.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri S.S. Palanimanickam in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.

Com. Shiva Gopal Mishra, Gen. Secretary, All-India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) .

AFTER WAITING 30 YEARS

26 March 2012

AFTER WAITING 30 YEARS, 150 POSTAL STAFF REGULARIZED

Chennai, Mar 9, 2012(TNN): After waiting for 30 years, close to 150 employees of the postal department will finally become regular employees, thanks to the interventionof the Central Administrative Tribunal ( CAT). A bench of G Shanthappa, judicial member and R Satapathy, administrative member, passed orders on the matter. 

A view of the General Post Office in Chennai.

The applicants were appointed mazdoors with the department of posts in 1982. While joining, they were assured that their services would be regularised. Based on directions in a Supreme Court judgment, the department introduced a scheme in 1991 which stipulated that all casual labourers who worked for eight hours a day for 240 days every year as on November 29, 1989 would be conferred temporary status. 
Those who were granted temporary status and had worked for three consecutive years would be conferred with ‘Group D’ status. These employees – who are now called multi-tasking staff – would be eligible for pension and other service benefits. 

When they approached the tribunal in 2010, they were directed to make individual representations to authorities by listing out their grievances. But their claims were rejected mainly on two grounds – that they were overage and that they did not have the qualification. 
When their fresh applications came up for hearing, M Ravindran, additional solicitor general who appeared for the Union government, said authorities did not have any objection to regularise their services. 
The bench said there “cannot be any hindrance for the absorption of applicants” who have been working for so long. “It has also come to our notice that there are enough vacancies to accommodate the applicants before us,” the bench said. 
Authorities were directed to consider regularising these applicants and give age relaxation and training for those who did not possess matriculation skills within three months.
