Pay hike for KSCB staff

The State government has issued orders revising the pay scales of employees of the Kerala State Cooperative Bank with retrospective effect from April 1, 2007.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Cooperation and Coir Development Minister G. Sudhakaran said the government had accepted the pay revision report of a panel headed by the Principal Secretary (Cooperatives), according to which the minimum upward revision for the last grade employee will be Rs.1,500 and that of Chief General Manager will be Rs.11,000. The KSCB will have to incur an additional burden of Rs.18 lakh a month or Rs. 2.16 crore a year. The Board of Directors had been authorised to work out the details of arrear payment.

He said the existing running master scale of Rs.6,000-37,700 had been revised to Rs.7,825-50,450. The following are the revised pay scales for various categories of employees with the existing scale in brackets: Peon/attender 7,825-20,975 (6,000-14,775), Clerk: 9,625-28,375 (7,375-19,975) Junior Assistant: 11,750-32,050 (8,925-24,775) Accounts Officer: 14,375-38,350 (10,975- 29,300), Deputy General Manager: 20,975-48,950 (15,925-36,575) Chief General Manager: 25,075-50,450 (19,250-37,700).

Employees would get 6.25 per cent fitment and 24 per cent dearness allowance along with the basic pay from the date of opting for the new scale or from April 1, 2007. The pay revision committee's recommendation for one increment for 10 years of service and two increments for 20 years service also have been accepted.

Employees would get a house rent allowance of 10 per cent of the salary, subject to a limit of Rs.2,000, besides three stagnation increments. The commission's recommendation for higher grade promotion for the sub-staff category depending on the years of service has also been accepted.

The government had sanctioned special pay for qualified employees ranging between Rs.500 to 700, over and above the pay committee's recommendation with a view to induct professionalism in its services.

The Minister pointed out that the government had sanctioned the pay revision even though the KSCB was going through difficult times. Bank Chairman Koliyakode Krishnan Nair said the bank was in the red mainly on account of the inhospitable attitude of the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), which had failed to extend refinance for farm loans. Despite this, the bank had advanced farm loans, suffering loss in interest component to the tune of Rs. 12 crore.

Payment of salary to teachers despite dismissal of their writ petition a pure loot of the state exchequer : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court today held that the payment of salary to teachers from the state government funds, despite dismissal of their writ petition in default by the High Court, is a pure loot of the state exchequer.

This remark was made by Justice S U Khan, where the court came to know that those teachers of state, who were getting salary on the strength of the interim order of the High Court, are still receiving their salary even after dismissal of their writ petition in default by the court.

Passing this order on a writ petition filed by Siyaram Yadav and others of district Jaunpur, the court asked the Chief Standing Counsel to seek complete information from the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS) of all the districts in the state in this regard and supply the same to the court by preparing a chart indicating therein, that in each district how many teachers are being paid salary under the interim orders of the High Court, where writ petition are more than 10 years old.

The information should also disclose that salary of how many such teachers has been stopped for their failure to furnish evidence of pendency of writ petition and since when.

The court has also directed that the state government shall also initiate disciplinary proceedings against all those DIOS, who continued to pay salaries to such teachers since May 2009 onwards and shall intimate the court regarding the action taken against all such DIOS.

The court will rehear this case on December 13. UNI

Lucknow HC orders revival of pension facilities to state government employees

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court ordered the revival of pension facilities to the Development Authorities employees and said state government cannot ignore the pension of the employees as it was a right of a retired person.

The court said after serving the government department or Development Authorities till the age of 60 years, a person is entitled for pension benefit and how can the government stop it.

A division bench comprising Justices Devi Prasad Singh and Vedpal asked all the government departments, including the Nagar Palika, Municipal Corporation, Development Authorities and other departments to provide pensions benefit to all the retired employees within next three months.

The court, hearing a petition filed by Pensioners Association, Uttar Pradesh, also cancelled the government order to stop pension of the employees of the Development Authorities in 1999.

The judges asked how the government stopped the pension facilities to the employees of the Development Authority through an administrative order on April 5, 1999 when it had provided the facilities from 1983 to 1999. UNI

AP govt employees threaten agitation

Posted by Admin at Saturday, October 23, 2010

Hyderabad, Oct 21 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh government employees today threatened to undertake an agitation if their demands for health insurance and others are not accepted.

We will announce on that day," K Swami Goud, leader of Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers Association, told reporters.

The employees unions would hold protests here next month, he said, adding they met state Chief Secretary S V Prasad over their demands.

GOA Government Employees and Teachers to get 10% hike in dearness allowance (DA) and bonus

GOA Government Employees and Teachers to get 10% hike in dearness allowance (DA) and bonus


There's some good news for government employees and teachers as their dearness allowance (DA) will be hiked by 10% and those in Class 'C' and 'D' will also be eligible for a bonus of nearly Rs.3,500.


With enhanced DA, the financial implication for the state Govt. will be to the tune of around ` 5 crore per month, official sources said.


The salary component, since the implementation of VI Pay Commission, had been around ` 78 crore per month. Now, with the hike in DA, this will go up to nearly ` 83 crore.


Last month, the Union cabinet hiked the DA for central government employees by 10% from 35% to 45% of their basic salary, with retrospective effect from July. The state government has decided to implement the same for its employees.


That is as far as additional burden on revised DA per month is concerned.
But for the forthcoming salary the state government will pay and the bonus which will be released in the first week of November (for Diwali), the financial burden is huge, according to sources in the government.


First of all, the arrears of revised DA will have to be paid. The arrears of three months - from July to September 2010 - will be nearly ` 15 crore.


Besides the salary component, the pension amount incurred by the state government will also go up with the enhanced DA. There will be an additional burden of ` 2.21 crore per month. Until now, the government spends ` 31 crore to pay pensions. For three months, the arrears will amount to ` 6.7 crore.


Towards payment of bonus, the government will incur around ` 12 crore. Employees numbering more than 40,000 who come under the 'C' and 'D' categories, will get the bonus which is fixed at ` 3,455. Teachers from government-aided schools too will be eligible, sources said.


In addition to all this, new groups of employees recently recruited will get their first salary soon. There are some computer teachers as well as pre-employment trainees who were absorbed into government service recently, sources added.


Towards the payment of salary, pension and bonus, the state government will have to shell out ` 150 crore soon.


Sources said that though the revenue generation has been low, as usual, in the second quarter of the financial year - June to August - especially as both the mining and tourism sectors are not much in operation, the state will be heavily burdened to keep its monetary commitment.
