Sixth Pay Commission: Army brass defied Govt on pay hike by citing ‘larger interest of the services’
Sixth Pay Commission: Army brass defied Govt on pay hike by citing ‘larger interest of the services’

NEW DELHI, SEPTEMBER 29 The armed forces have agreed to implement revised pay scales and arrears from October 1 but in a highly controversial move last Friday, the Army top brass, taking a cue from the Navy, cited “the larger interests of the services” to justify their defiance and “delay” in implementing revised salaries.
The Army signal was sent the day Defence Minister A K Antony talked tough with the three Services chiefs and told them in very clear terms to implement the Cabinet decision on the Sixth Pay Commission report.
Top sources confirmed to The Indian Express that via a signal on September 26 — two days after Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta signalled his men — Lt Gen V K Chaturvedi, Director General, Manpower Planning, under the Adjutant General of Army, informed “all ranks up to unit level” that the revised pay scales were delayed. The signal, being kept under wraps, was sent to Headquarters/Commands and Corps of the 1.1 million-strong Army.
While the armed forces process for issuing the Government notification has begun so that all officers and ranks get the new scales together with their civilian counterparts on time, the Army, in its signal, said that four pay-related issues still remain unresolved:
Uniform grades of pay at par with civilian officers.
•Lt Col should be upgraded to Pay band 4.
•t Generals should be placed in Higher Administrative Grade plus.
•Restoring pensionary benefits of personnel below officer rank.
While the UPA government plans to take up the two signals issued by the Navy chief and Army Headquarters seriously as these have wider ramifications, it is foxed by the first demand which is not even within the purview of the Pranab Mukherjee committee — it also comprises P Chidambaram and Antony — set up by the Prime Minister last Friday to sort out pay-related anomalies with the armed forces.

Jai Mata Di
Rani Ma Vaishno Devi followed and worshiped Lord Vishnu and considered him as HER ideal.
At about 2 kms from Katra, from where we start our Rani Ma Yatra today, is situated an old village, Hansal, also called (Hansalli). Around 700 years ago, there lived a very poor priest named Pandit Shirdhar, who was very heartily devoted to Rani Ma Vaishnodevi. He used to sing his daily prayers and performed Rani Ma Puja daily. He also used to worship little girls (called Kanya Pujan) regularly. And as faith was, he was childless and had no children of his own.
His daily Puja and Prayers for Rani Ma Vaishnodevi went on for many years. At last seeing his firm-faith and the true devotion, Rani Ma one day came to Panditji, in the form of a little innocent girl.
Pandit Shridhar had been busy in his daily preparation of Kanya Pujan, where, some little girls were present before him. Rani Ma Vaishnodevi manifested herself in those little-girls. As per the Hindu tradition, while Pt. Shirdhar had been washing the feet of these little girls, his sight fell on Rani Ma manifested Herself in the form of a little girl. Panditji was astonished to see HER celestial beauty in vermilion garbs; SHE wore on HER divine body.. Read more

Sixth Pay Commission pay out: Govt needs extra funds, to borrow Rs 10k cr more in H1
Sixth Pay Commission pay out: Govt needs extra funds, to borrow Rs 10k cr more in H1
The government on Tuesday decided to borrow Rs 10,000 crore more than what it had planned for in the first half of 2008-09. Despite fulfilling its borrowing requirement for the first half of the fiscal, the finance ministry has now decided to advance its borrowing programme for the second half by scheduling issuance of dated securities worth Rs 10,000 crore in the month of September itself.
“This has been done keeping in view the emerging requirements of the government, market conditions and other relevant factors,” as per an official release. Accordingly the finance ministry will sell Rs 6,000 crore of 7.94%, 2021 bonds and Rs 4,000 crore of 8.28%, 2032 bonds on September 26.
The government has already borrowed Rs 96,000 crore in the first half of the year and has budgeted its net borrowing at Rs 1 lakh crore for 2008-09. It has however not announced its full borrowing calendar for the fiscal second half.
Analysts feel that the move shows that the government is likely to overshoot its slated borrowing for the year.
“This is a very surprising time to decide to raise funds as liquidity is tight in September because of the heavy payments as advance tax,” Abheek Barua, chief economist, HDFC Bank said. The government expects to overshoot its borrowing estimates and so is sensitising the market to it. Alternatively, it is expects the global financial crisis to worse and so plans to secure domestic fund flows, he added.
Saugata Bhattacharya, economist at Axis Bank said, “This could be because of an immediate increase in its expenditure or because advance tax outflows is lower than projected.” The government may also be of the view that it may be able to raise funds at a lower rate at the current market conditions, he said. The UPA government needs additional funds for the Sixth Pay Commission pay out, issuing bonds for oil and fertiliser and possibly for the farm loan waiver as well. It is also likely to make extra provisions for relief and rehabilitation in wake of the Bihar floods.
As per the pay commission’s recommendations, the salary hikes will cost Rs 22,100 crore this fiscal, while the farm loans to be waived in three instalments is estimated at Rs 71,680 crore. The government has also budgeted Rs 7,500 crore for fertiliser bonds. Oil bonds for the fourth quarter of 2007-08 amounting to Rs 14,956 crore and
for the first quarter of 2008-09 estimated at Rs 24,408 crore will be issued after obtaining Parliamentary approval.

Pay Band and Grade pay:
* Grade Pay up to PB2 recommended by 6CPC accepted as such.
* Revised Grade pay from PB3 and above. Check New pay band and Grade Pay
* The basic pay drawn as on 1.1.2006 on the existing Fifth CPC pay scales will be multiplied by a factor of 1.86 and then rounded off to next multiple of 10. This will be the pay in the revised running Pay Band. Grade Pay, as approved by the Government, corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale, will then be added to the Pay in the revised Pay Band. The total of pay in the Pay Band and grade pay will be the revised Basic Pay as on 1.1.2006.
* Rate of annual increments will be 3% and the rate of variable increment for high achievers in PB-3 will be 4%.
* There will be a uniform date of annual increment, viz. 1st July of every year. Employees completing 6 months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st of July will be eligible to be granted the increment. The first increment after fixation of pay on 1.1.2006 in the revised pay structure will be granted on 1.7.2006 for those employees for whom the date of next increment was between 1st July, 2006 to 1st Jan 2007.
DA and other Allowances
* AICPI (IW) with base 2001 may, henceforth, be used for the purpose of calculating DA till it gets revised. The base using the 2001 series works out to be 115.76. Based on this index the revised DA as on Jan-06, July-06, Jan-07, July-07, Jan-08 and July-08 are estimated to be 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 16% respectively (based on the calculation made as per index - Exact DA rates are yet to be confirmed by the Government).
* “Campus” restriction for grant of Transport Allowance will be removed. Consequently, employees living in campuses will also be eligible for Transport Allowance. Further, Transport Allowance for the employees at the lowest levels will be increased to Rs.600 (from Rs.400) in A-1/A class cities and Rs.400 (from Rs.300) in other towns.
* New TA - Employees drawing grade pay of Rs. 5400 and above will be eligible to receive TA of Rs.3200 and DA thereon (A1/A class cites) and Rs.1600 and DA thereon (other places. Similarly Employees drawing grade pay of Rs.4200 to Rs.4800 will be eligible to receive TA of Rs. Rs.1600 and DA thereon (A1/A class cites) and Rs.800 and DA thereon (other places). Employees drawing grade pay of below Rs. 4200 will be eligible to receive TA of Rs. 600 and DA thereon (A1/A class cites) and Rs.400 and DA thereon (other places).
* City Compensatory Allowance abolished.
* Employess living in X (Earlier classified as A-1), Y (Earlier classified as A, B-1 & B-2), and Z (Earlier classified as C and Unclassified) will be eligible for HRA of 30%, 20% and 10% (on Fixed Pay and Grade Pay) respectively.
* Children Education Allowance and Reimbursement of Tuition Fee are merged and reimbursement of Children Education allowance will be paid upto the maximum of Rs.1000 per child per month subject to a maximum of 2 children. Hostel subsidy will be reimbursed upto the maximum limit of Rs.3000 per month per child. The limits would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised pay bands goes up by 50%.
* Cycle Allowance, Washing Allowance, Cash Handling Allowance, Special Allowance, Night Duty Allowance and Split Duty Allowance have been doubled. Similarly, rates of allowances specific to different Ministries/Departments/Organisations not covered in this Report will also be doubled. The rates of these allowances will be increased by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance payable on revised pay scales goes up by 50%.
* All provisions concerning travel under LTC are to be retained except frequency of travel in home town concession (up to three times during the first two blocks of 4 years after joining the service).
* The revised allowances, other than dearness allowance, will be effective from 1st day of September, 2008.
ACP (Assured Career Progression):
* Three upgradations will be granted under Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme at 10, 20 and 30 years as per the modified ACP Scheme recommended by the Commission. ACP Scheme will also be applicable to Group A employees.
* Financial upgradation through ACP will be available whenever a person has spent 10 years continuously in the same grade.
* Benefit of pay fixation available at the time of normal promotion shall be allowed at the time of financial upgradations under the scheme. Thus, an increase of 3% of pay and grade pay shall be available as financial upgradation under the scheme.
Other Points accepted by the Government:
* The Commission’s recommendation regarding payment of arrears has been modified to the extent that the arrears will be paid in cash in two instalments – first instalment of 40% during the current financial year (2008-09) and the remaining 60% in the next financial year (2009-10).
* The Government has approved setting up of Anomalies Committees to examine individual, post-specific and cadre-specific anomalies. The Anomalies Committees should endeavour to complete their work in one year.
Recommendations not accepted by the Government in Sixth Pay Commission:
* Liberal ‘severance package’ for those employees who want to leave service without pension with more than 15, but less than 20 years of service.
* Recommendation relating to Holiday Policy that there should only be three closed holidays for Government employees.
* Flexi-hours for women employees and flexi-weeks for employees with disabilities.
Recommendations of Sixth CPC which will be examined separately :
* Recommendation related to Bonus and Over Time Allowance.
* Recommendation related to General Provident Fund for Central Government employees and Central Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme.
* Introduction of Health Insurance Scheme for Central Government employees and pensioners.

Sixth Pay Commission: States ask Centre to bear 50 pc burden of sixth pay revision
Sixth Pay Commission: States ask Centre to bear 50 pc burden of sixth pay revision
New Delhi, Sep 21 (PTI) Not keen on again bearing a financial stress that fell on them after implementation of the Fifth Pay Commission, state governments want the Centre to share half the burden of pay revision of their employees, in case they go for the next salary hike.
"The states would never forget the effect of the Centre's decision on recommendations of the Fifth Central Pay Commission regarding pay revision on states' finances through consequences of pay revision at the states levels. This had resulted in a financial crisis for the states," VAT panel said in its presentation to the 13th Finance Commission.
The Empowered Committee of state finance ministers on VAT said that during that time, the Centre had agreed to bear half of the burden of the states but did not actually provide the assistance.
The VAT panel said the Sixth Pay Commission will "consequently cause the states to take certain decisions for the pay structure of their employees and others with serious financial implications".
When the Centre announcing the pay revision, it is a general practice for states to go for pay revision of its employees.
Due to the Sixth Pay revision, the Centre will bear an additional burden of Rs 15,700 crore on the central budget and Rs 6,400 crore on the railway budget. PTI

Sixth pay commission: Hike in pay scale, BMC employees to get richer
Sixth pay commission: Hike in pay scale, BMC employees to get richer
Mumbai, September 20 Employees of the richest municipal corporation in the country will be richer in the coming months with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) planning to spend Rs 1000 crore on its employees. BMC— with an annual budget of Rs 16,000 crore—will make reforms in the pay scales of the employees.
Although the one lakh strong workforce of BMC does not come under the central or state government’s pay commission, the civic administration will be making reforms in the pay scale. After a series of discussions and meetings with the employees’ union, the civic body has decided to increase the pay scale applicable from April1, 2005.
Additional Municipal Commissioner Mahadeo Sangle said that each of the civic employees- from labourer to high ranking official- will be applicable for the reformed pay scale. “The rise will be from 20 per cent to 48 per cent and will be applicable from April 2005 as against the center’s sixth pay commission of January 2006,” he said. The higher salary will burden the civic body by Rs 1000 crore. “But we are ready to spend that much on our employees. Revenue from octroi will be used and adjusted to pay for the salaries,” Sangle added.
Although the reforms are yet to get the final approval, the civic administration has also proposed hike in house rent by 30 per cent. “Not everyone has a house in the city or get the provision of civic quarters. In such case we have doubled the house rent from 15 per cent to 30 per cent as the property rates in the city are also sky-rocketing,” Sangle said. The meetings with union will begin from September 22 and the reforms will be finalised in the coming days.

Sixth Pay Commission: Uttar Pradesh's new taxes only for rich: Official
Sixth Pay Commission: Uttar Pradesh's new taxes only for rich: Official
20 Sep, 2008
LUCKNOW: A day after Uttar Pradesh hiked levies on laptops, mobile phones and airconditioners - among nearly 100 items - a top official on Saturday described it as a move to mobilise additional resources by "taxing the affluent".
Each of the items for which value added tax (VAT) has been hiked or an entry tax has been reintroduced are usually used by the rich, according to V S Pandey, principal secretary to Chief Minister Mayawati.
"A lot of care has been taken at the highest level to ensure that no item used by ordinary people is subjected to additional taxation," Pandey told.
According to him, "The additional tax on select items would mop up additional annual revenues of Rs 1,200 crores (Rs 12 bn)."
He said: "The state requires nearly Rs 5,000 crores (Rs 50 bn) to meet the burden on account of implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission report, so additional resources need to be mobilised."
The state government Friday night raised the VAT on various items. Entry tax that had been done away with by the previous government has also been reintroduced. While the entry tax varies between two and four percent, the hike in VAT ranges between 12 and 21 per cent as against the existing flat four percent.
Interestingly, the only item for which VAT has been reduced is 'bhang' - a popular intoxicant in semiurban and rural areas. The VAT on bhang has been reduced from 32 per cent to 12.5 per cent.
While cycle tyres have been exempted from the hike, all other tyres have been subjected to an entry tax.
Computers are going to cost more, with VAT going up from four percent to 12.5 per cent. Other items in the list include telephones, CDs, DVDs, wireless equipment and several other electronic gadgets.
The cost of machinery, tools, dyes as well as coffee powder, green tea, cocoa powder will also go up, with an identical rise in VAT from four percent to 12.25 per cent.
Turbine fuel and CNG have been subjected to the steepest hike - from one percent to 21 per cent.

20 Sep 2008
PANAJI: The state government is likely to implement the 6th Pay Commission's recommendations with effect from November 2008. The state cabinet will formally decide on the issue when it meets on September 23.
The finance secretary Udipta Ray, along with joint secretary Suresh Shanbogue gave a presentation to the cabinet about the implications of the 6th Pay Commission for Goa on Thursday.

The overall liability on the government in terms of salaries and arrears for the period from January 1, 2006, to August 31, 2008, is around Rs 800 crore.

Sixth Pay Commission: States demand share of taxes
Sixth Pay Commission: States demand share of taxes
Agartala, Sept. 19: The northeastern states, including Sikkim, have demanded 10 per cent of the total devolution of funds from taxes from the Centre, while supporting the demand for 50 per cent of the devolution to all states.
The demand was raised at a meeting of the newly constituted 13th Finance Commission, headed by economist and tax specialist B.K. Kelkar in New Delhi on September 16.
Though the 13th Finance Commission gave no assurance, the members of the commission as well as the chairman indicated that the matter would be considered seriously.
“The 12th Finance Commission had recommended devolution of 30 per cent of the tax-based income to states but this has proved to be inadequate, so we demanded 50 per cent devolution from the 13th Finance Commission,” said Tripura finance minister Badal Chowdhury.
The minister said going by the recommendations of the 12th Finance Commission, except Assam, the remaining seven northeastern states, including Sikkim, received less than one per cent each.
“In case our demand is accepted, 10 per cent of the funds on the head of devolution of taxes will be earmarked for the Northeast and that will take care of the gap in non-plan funds,” Chowdhury said.
“The implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission by the Centre has brought tremendous pressure on the states, and the Centre must help by bearing at least 50 per cent of the additional liability,” the minister added.
On behalf of the eight northeastern states, which belong to the special category, the demand has been raised for the Centre to bear the full liability on the implementation of the recommendations of the Pay Commission.
“We have requested the Finance Commission to look into the matter and make later adjustments with the non-plan gap grants,” said Tripura finance minister.
The minister said the issue of the Centre not sharing the collections of surcharges and cess with the states also figured in the discussion.
At the meeting , the issue of Centre-sponsored schemes was primarily discussed.“Most of the centrally sponsored schemes are based on subjects which fall under the jurisdiction of the states. The Centre should share more funds,” Chowdhury said.
“We have been told the Finance Commission will start visiting states from November this year and is expected in the Northeast by March next year,” Badal said.

Sixth Pay Commission: Women in govt service to get 3 yrs' child care leave
Sixth Pay Commission: Women in govt service to get 3 yrs' child care leave
16 Sep 2008, 0826 hrs IST, Ashish Sinha,TNN
NEW DELHI: This is one rule that could turn women in India Inc green with envy. The Centre has not only increased maternity
leave for its employees to six months but has also cleared paid leave for two years to take care of children.
The order, effective from September 1, increases maternity leave of women employees from 135 days to a cool 180 days for each
of their two children. From now on, women employees can take paid leave up to two years (730 days) during their career for
"taking care" of their two children without affecting their seniority.
Even if a woman has only one child, she can take the two-year leave. Termed "child care leave", this will be besides the
maternity break they are entitled to. The new rules came into force on September 1.
Adding to the bonanza, a woman employee can avail of child care leave in any combination till her two children are 18 years
of age. In line with the Sixth Pay Commission proposals, the new leave regime for women means that during their stint with
the government, they can avail paid leave of as much as three years, provided they do it only for two children.
The child care leave can be taken for any of reason, including "rearing" or "to look after any of their needs like
examination, sickness etc". Women in the private sector are often hard-pressed for such leave beyond the maternity break
(rarely beyond 90 days), besides the regular quota of earned, casual and medical leave.
"The new rule has come as a godsend. I can now devote time to my son when he needs it the most. The best part is I can take
this leave till he is 18," said a director-level IAS officer. Contrast it with what a senior corporate executive said: "I
attended office up to two days before my child was born. I had to save as much of my 90-day maternity leave so that I could
devote time to my child later. The entire period is over now and I am back to work. I now leave my baby at my mother's house
and come to office."
The government has notified that child care leave can also be availed in continuation of the six-month maternity break. It
means that a woman employee deciding to have only one child can continue on paid leave for two-and-a-half years at a stretch.
Of course, she has the option of saving some of it for exigencies and, above all, she continues to enjoy her share of the
regular leaves. The new regime will definitely make government jobs much more attractive not only for women but also for men
as the couple would be assured that at least the mother would be with the child when needed. Semi-government establishments —
like PSUs, banks, insurance companies — should be expected to adopt the new women-friendly system sooner or later.

Sixth pay commission: UGC pay panel delay likely to hit UPA’s election plans
Sixth pay commission: UGC pay panel delay likely to hit UPA’s election plans
16 Sep, 2008, 0244 hrs IST, ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Much to the chagrin of the UPA government, the University Grants Commission’s pay review committee is unable to
“estimate” how much more time it will require to finalise its recommendations. The committee headed by Professor G K Chadha
was supposed to submit its report on September 5.
The HRD ministry has given it a month’s extension, but professor Chadha is unwilling to commit himself to a public deadline.
The UPA government would like to wrap up the pay review before elections are announced.
College and university teachers are an important electoral constituency and the government would rather give them the
expected pay hike in time so that it can reap electoral dividends.
However, the Chadha Committee does promise “radical” changes which will help the Indian higher education sector meet the
socio-economic and cultural challenges in the era of globalisation, even as Professor Chadha is unwilling to commit a
deadline.
He says that the committee will take “no longer than is necessary”. One of the reasons, the chairman has cited for the delay
is that the committee is yet to reach at a consensus on three or four issues.
These include changes in the “layers” of the faculty at the college and university levels — the choice is to continue with
the current gradation from lecturer to reader to professor or to introduce new levels. Professor Chadha said that should
changes be introduced, suitable time scales will also have to be introduced.
Other unresolved issues include whether the UGC pay committee should replicate the central pay commission’s system for grade
pay and pay bands, and the manner in which to resolve the anomalies of the previous committee’s — the Rastogi Committee —
recommendations.
Another area that the committee members feel needs more attention is the manner in which stagnation of college and university
professors can be addressed. At present, it seen that often college professors achieve the top of their scale and then
continue to remain there without any possibilities of advancement.
Former IISc director Professor G Padmanaban, who is member of the committee, said that there was a strong view within the
panel that no teacher should suffer from stagnation.
Now, the committee needs to work out a way to compensate these members of the teaching community, and to do so they will need
to find parallels within the sixth pay commission’s recommendation.
In light of the vast higher education expansion plans of the government, the committee has suggested a uniform retirement age
of 65 years across the country. At present, there is a “great discrepancy” in the retirement age that ranges for 55 to 65
years.
“We are in a situation when availability of teaching faculty is critical to the government’s plans. This issue can be
addressed to some measure through a retirement age that is uniformly set across the entire higher education system,”
Professor Chadha said.
Professor Chadha said that at the entry level the higher education sector is competing with the corporate sector and civil
services for the best minds. “We need to offer an attractive package. While we can’t compete with the corporate sector it
should be such that 10 years down the road, the academic has no regrets.”
Stating that the choice was clear, Professor Chadha said, “We can’t give the red carpet welcome but we can provide a decent
living condition”. The effort to attract the best minds to join the academic circuit will include “unprecedented financial
support” and improved research facilities.

Sixth Pay Commission: Armed forces take pay panel grievances to PMO
Sixth Pay Commission: Armed forces take pay panel grievances to PMO
6 Sep 2008, 0237 hrs IST,TNN
NEW DELHI: The armed forces have now taken the raging battle over the 6th Pay Commission right till the PMO, seeking direct intervention from the country’s top political leadership in restoring their parity with their civilian and paramilitary counterparts.
Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, in his capacity as the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee (CoSC), made a representation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday about their grievances with the August 29 gazette notification of new pay scales.
‘‘Apart from briefing the PM on his recent visits to Japan and South Korea as well as the rescue operations in flood-hit Bihar, Admiral Mehta presented a written brief to PM about the demoralisation in the three Services due to the new pay scales,’’ said a source.
To ensure that this unprecedented action is not seen as mutinous in any way, the armed forces have reposed their ‘‘full confidence’’ in the Union Cabinet in the latest letter written to defence minister A K Antony by the CoSC chairman.
The forces, in fact, want the pay notification to ‘‘be kept in abeyance’’ till the Union Cabinet considers the ‘‘core issues’’ and issues corrective directions to ensure that its officers are not downgraded, in terms of pay and status, in comparison with other civil services and paramilitary forces, including the IPS.
If this is not done, it will lead to ‘‘despondency’’ among the ‘‘badly demoralized’’ officers of the three Services. Moreover, it will seriously jeopardise ‘‘operational’’ and ‘‘functional’’ harmony between the armed forces and the paramilitary forces whenever they operate together, warned Admiral Mehta, in his letter.
The main grouse of the forces revolves around the fact that the ‘‘extant parity’’ of Lt-Colonel rank officers has been lowered by retaining them in Pay Band-3 (Rs 15,600-39,100), while raising similarly placed civilians and paramilitary officers to PB-4 (Rs 37,400-67,000). The forces have also sought restoration of parity in grade pay for lower and middle rung Service officers with their civilian counterparts, who are going to get more as per the new pay scales.
Then, of course, the armed forces are also angry at the fact that all directors-general of police and their equivalents have been placed over Lt-Generals by the creation of a new ‘‘higher administrative grade-plus’’.
The ‘‘lowering of status’’ of Lt-Cols and their equivalent ranks in IAF (Wing Commander) and Navy (Commander), who constitute the bulk of the fighting force among officers, is of course the most painful for the forces.

MP govt to implement 6th Pay Commission from Sept 1
MP govt to implement 6th Pay Commission from Sept 1
Chronicle News Service
Omkareshwar (MP), Sept 7: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan here Sunday announced that the state government employees will get 'enhanced salary' as per the recommendations of Sixth Pay Commission from September 1.
"The state government employees will get the enhanced salary on October 1 (for the month of September), as per the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission," Chouhan told reporters after performing puja at the Omkareshwar temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlings in the country.
Chouhan was in the town as part of his ongoing 'Janahirwad Yatra' in the state.
Referring to the poll issues in the coming assembly elections, he said the ruling party will seek people's decisive mandate on the twin issues of "development and people's welfare".
He highlighted his government's achievement's in the last four and a half years and claimed that what his party's government has done for the people during the period, Congress was unable to do the same in the last 50 years of its rule.
Regarding India's achievement in negotiating the nuclear deal with the Nuclear Supply Group (NSG) he said that the country has the right to conduct nuclear tests and that nobody would be able to take away from it.
To a question, he said that laws are there because of people and not vice-versa, therefore any law which obstructs the development of the people will be changed and added that his government has changes several such laws during its tenure.

6th Pay Commission: Information on pension just a call away
6th Pay Commission: Information on pension just a call away
Khabrein.Info Correspondent,
Mumbai, September 9, 2008: Information on pensions as per 6th Pay Commission Recommendations is just a call away.
It must be good news to central government pensioners who were finding it hard to get information about the new pension amount that they would be getting.
With news on several aspects of 6th Pay Commission still sketchy pensioners specially those who live alone are finding it difficult to get information on their new salary structure as well as on amount of arrears that they may be getting.
Government has raised the amount that the pensioners would be getting. It has even improved upon the sixth pay commission recommendation in the final notification that was issued last week.
Octogenarians will now be paid an additional 20 per cent of their basic pension, while those aged 85 will get 30 per cent more, rising to 100 per cent additional pension for centurions.
To get an idea of the quantum of hike, a person with a basic pension of Rs 10,000 — who used to get Rs 22,050 in hand — will now receive a total pension of Rs 26,216. The new rates are effective from January 2006 and the arrears will be given out in two instalments — 40% during the current fiscal, 60% in 2009-10.
Now the pensioners can get all the information on pension by calling Defence Accounts Pensioners Association (DAPA) in Pune on telephone number 020-24451319.
The call can be made between 2 pm to 8 pm.

Central govt. improves over 6th Pay Commission in case of pensioners
Central govt. improves over 6th Pay Commission in case of pensioners
Khabrein.Info News Desk,
New Delhi, Sept 6, 2008: Former central government employees should be happy to know that the Central government has improved
over Sixth Pay Commission when it comes to pensioners.
Pensioners were worried as not many details were available when it came to pension in the aftermath of the sixth commission
recommendations’ implementation.
Government has improved the pension of the central government pensioners giving them substantial rise than the pay panel had
demanded.
An important benefit approved by the union cabinet is raising the gratuity limit to Rs 10 lakh, higher pension for
octogenarians, exclusion of earned leave encashed while in service from the overall limit, clubbing of earned leave and
half-day pay leave for encashment.
Octogenarians will now be paid an additional 20 per cent of their basic pension, while those aged 85 will get 30 per cent
more, rising to 100 per cent additional pension for centurions.
To get an idea of the quantum of hike, a person with a basic pension of Rs 10,000 — who used to get Rs 22,050 in hand — will
now receive a total pension of Rs 26,216. The new rates are effective from January 2006 and the arrears will be given out in
two instalments — 40% during the current fiscal, 60% in 2009-10.
On voluntary retirement front too the government officials who wanted to quit their job or retire voluntarily had never had
it so good and enticing. It will be like having the cake and eating it too.
In fact the sixth pay commission has all the charms to both entice the government officials to be in job and/ or also prompt
him to leave his well paying job.
The mid level or senior government officials who still think that they don’t get the pay package they deserve in their
present government jobs may well like to seek a job change and here the new pay commission would help them.
The current practices don’t give full pension to a government employee who does not complete 33 years of services in his job.
But the sixth pay commission has reduced this period to just 20 years.
So if you have completed 20 years in your government jobs and hope that you could get better options you can think of
shifting to a corporate office without fearing that you may lose on your pension.
Sixth pay commission’s recommendation is this regard has been accepted by the Union Cabinet, along with other recommendations
of the Sixth Pay Commission on pension benefits for the estimated 3.84 million central government pensioners. Experts said
the reduction in the number of years of service to 20 years to earn full pension benefit was a liberal move and would end
stagnation in government service.

Sixth Pay Commission revises Children Education Allowance
Sixth Pay Commission revises Children Education Allowance
New Delhi, Sept 4, 2008: Sixth Pay Commission has several good features and that includes revised Children Education
Allowance. The government has not only revised the children education allowance for good but also made the allowance
commensurate to the needs of its employees.
Though it still fall well short of what most average government employees pay for education of their kids in average schools,
nevertheless it will give them a breather.
And for central government employees living in small towns and cities it will do more good. In most small towns the revised
allowance of Rupees one thousand per child for two children will be more than sufficient to take care of children education
of central government employees.
But in metros like Delhi and Mumbai, it will still just partially take care of the amount of money that parents spend on
their kids.
This is not to deny the importance of the hefty increment. Earlier government used to pay its employees a paltry Rs 40 as
tuition fees for its employees children upto class 10.
In another welcome development the government has revised hostel subsidy for children. Hostel subsidy may be reimbursed upto
the maximum limit of Rs.3000 per month per child. The limits would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness
Allowance on the revised pay bands goes up by 50%. Revised
Salient features of the revised orders are:-
(a) Children Education Allowance and Reimbursement of Tuition Fee which were hitherto payable separately will be merged and
will henceforth be known as 'Children Education Allowance Scheme'.
(b) Under the Scheme of Children Education Allowance reimbursement can be availed by Government Servants upto to a maximum of
2 children.
(c) Reimbursement as indicated above will be applicable for expenditure on the education of school going children only i.e.,
for children from classes nursery to twelfth, including classes eleventh and twelfth held by junior colleges or schools
affiliated to Universities or Boards of Education.
(d) Henceforth, the reimbursement of Children Education Allowance shall have no nexus with the performance of the child in
his class. In other words, even if a child fails in a particular class, the reimbursement of Children Education Allowance
shall not be stopped.
(e) Reimbursement for the following items can be claimed under this Scheme:
Tuition Fee, admission fee, laboratory fee, special fee charged for agriculture, electronics, music or any other subject. Fee
charged for practical work under the programme of work experience, fee paid for the use of any aid or appliance by the child,
library fee, games/sports fee and fee for extra-curricular activities. This also includes reimbursement for purchase of one
set of text books and notebooks, two sets of uniforms and one set of school shoes which can be claimed for a child, in a
year.
(f) The annual ceiling fixed for reimbursement of Children Education allowance is Rs. 12000.
(g) Under this scheme, reimbursement can be claimed once every quarter. The amount that can be claimed in a quarter could be
more than Rs.3000, and in another quarter less than Rs.3000, subject to the annual ceiling of Rs. 12000 per child being
maintained.
(h) In case both the spouses are Government servants, only one of them can avail reimbursement under Children Education
Allowance.
(i) Hostel subsidy will be reimbursed upto the maximum limit of Rs.3000 per month per child subject to a maximum of 2
children. However, both hostel subsidy and Children Education Allowance cannot be availed concurrently.
(j) The above limits would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised pay structure goes
up by50%.
In order to ensure that Government servants have no difficulty in claiming reimbursement, the procedure under this Scheme is
being kept simple. Reimbursement should henceforth be made on the submission of original receipts on the basis of
self-certification by the Government servant.
