Govt. considering raising retirement age to 62

The government is actively considering raising the retirement age of all central government employees, including those in the armed forces, from the present 60 to 62 years.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has submitted a report to the prime minister outlining all the pros and cons of the move, including the “cascading effects” on government employment and the huge savings, at least for two years, on account of retirement payouts.

If the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) and the prime minister find the arguments forwarded by the finance ministry credible and convincing, the announcement may come as early.

The Cabinet may discuss the matter.

Although the finance ministry is making a strong case for the move, the DoPT is taking time to make up its mind, possibly out of consideration for the 1979 batch of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and other central services. Officers of the 1979 batch have been empanelled for promotion to the ranks of additional secretary and secretary but can take up their posts only after the present incumbents retire. If an announcement extending the retirement age comes before November, a batch of empanelled joint secretaries stand to lose their future ranks. In turn, this will also affect those who joined the central administrative services in 1980. The DoPT also says that the age profile of Indian bureaucrats, instead of becoming younger, will become older, out of tune with the rest of the world.

For the finance ministry, the gains from the move are clear. The pension payout of all armed forces personnel of the rank of Lieutenant General and equivalent who were to retire this year will be postponed by 24 months; the government will also defer by two years the liability of paying pension to more than 100,000 employees. While salaries will have to continue to be paid, this will be cheaper than paying upfront benefits like gratuity.

This is all the more important given the government’s other financial liabilities on account of stimulus spending and one drought, though the effects of the latter will kick in only in the next fiscal year. The fiscal deficit is 6.8 per cent of gross domestic product this year and a two-year lag in paying pensions will help in bridging this.

In 1998, the National Democratic Alliance government had raised the retirement age from 58 to 60, a move that benefited 90,000 government servants and 50,000 defence personnel. At the time, the logic was: the retirement of 140,000 employees would have cost Rs 5,200 crore whereas paying salaries cost only Rs 1,493 crore.

That move came in the wake of the 5th Pay Commission report which had just been implemented by the then United Front government. In 2003, the government also right-sized the central government employee workforce by 30 per cent.

Every time the Centre announces an increase or concession on pay packages, both public-sector units and state governments follow suit. If the prime minister does decide to raise the retirement age, state governments and Public Sector Units (PSUs) will mirror this action. This has its own implications for many cash-strapped states like Punjab.

If the decision is finally taken, it will only be the third time the government will have raised the retirement age. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first prime minister to have increased the age of superannuation from 55 to 58 following the 1962 war with China. The Atal Bihari Vajpayee government did it a second time in 1998.

Govt can terminate temporary staff without assigning reason: CAT

The central government can terminate the services of its temporary employee without assigning any reason, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) said. 
The tribunal passed the order on a petition filed by an ex-technician Avinash challenging his termination by the Safdarjung Hospital after his services were not found satisfactory during the probation period. 
"Offer of appointment specifically provide that the services of an applicant can be terminated at any time without assigning any reason. There is no mandatory provision to assign any reason thereof," the CAT, comprising members Dharam Paul Sharma and N D Dayal, said. 
Rejecting the contentions of Avinash, the Tribunal said it is a case of "termination simpliciter in legitimate exercise of power under the Central Civil Services (Temporary Services) rules." 
Avinash cited a number of cases which had been decided on similar lines in the apex court and said his termination was an example of violation of "principles of natural justice."

All Postmasters General.

Sub: Filling up of GDS posts in Branch Post Offices –Clarification regarding.


Sir/Madam,


Directorate has, of late, been receiving a number of references regarding filling up of GDS vacancies in the Branch Post Offices. The undersigned is directed to invite reference to the Directorate letter No. 17-103/2007-GDS dated 8.7.2008 wherein clarifications regarding filling up of vacant posts of GDS were laid down. As per the principle brought out in the instructions of the Directorate referred to above, vacant post of GDS in Branch Office can be filled up if found justified on the basis of work load norms and financial parameters. If the twin criteria of workload and financial norms are not fulfilled then it is necessary to seek the approval of head of Circle. The above stipulations are applicable mutatis mutandis to all the Branch Post Offices irrespective of their establishment i.e. whether the Branch Office has single, double or more than two hands. The procedure reiterated in the aforesaid Directorate letter has resulted in non-filling up of vacant posts of GDS in the branch Post Offices especially in the single-handed Branch Offices.


2. The matter has, therefore, been reviewed in its entirety and it has been decided to fill up vacant posts of GDS in a manner set forth in the ensuing paragraphs. 


(i) Filling of GDS post in single handed Branch Offices


In single handed Branch Offices, the GDS post rendered vacant on account of discharge from the service, appointment of the GDS against a departmental post or death of the GDS may be filled up to ensure basic postal services and facilities in the rural areas through the existing Branch Offices. 


(ii) Filling of GDS post in Branch offices with two or more hands


The vacant post of GDS may be filled up on the basis of triennial review already carried out. If prescribed workload and financial parameters as prescribed for opening of a Branch Office are not fulfilled but the posts are required to be filled up for operational reasons then the approval of Chief PMG will be required with concurrence of Circle IFA.


3. It should be ensured that the triennial review of Branch Offices is carried out regularly and invariably as per existing instructions. 

4. This issues in supersession of earlier instructions issued for filling up of vacant posts of GDS contained in following letters. 


(i) Letter No. 40-35/Xth Plan dated 14.08.2003, 23.10.2003, and 17.02.2004.

(ii) Directorate Letter No. 17-103/2007-GDS dated 24.12.2007 except para 4 thereof.

(iii) Head of Circles should endure action accordingly.

(iv) The receipt of this letter may be acknowledged to the undersigned.

Employee to be heard in case of adverse ACR: CAT

The government has to give an opportunity to its employee to present his case if there is an adverse remark in the Annual Confidential Report(ACR) which could hamper his promotion, the Central Administrative Tribunal(CAT)has said. 
The tribunal passed the order on a petition of a senior scientist, J P Sharma, working with Indian Council of Agricultural Research(ICAR),alleging that he was deprived of promotion on the basis of an adverse ACR without giving him an opportunity to challenge the report. 
The government contended that overall grading in his ACR for last two years was 'average' but denied him the right to representation on the ground that it was 'not adverse'per se. 
But, the tribunal did not agree with the government's view and said the employee has the right to be heard in all cases where his prospect of promotion gets adversely affected due to the 'average' grading as he would get promoted only after getting 'very good' grading. 
"It is the effect which the entry is having which determines whether it is an adverse one or not. Any entry below the benchmark which deprives someone of eligibility for promotion must be informed about and be given a right to representation," the Bench comprising chairman V K Bali and N D Dayal said.
