Modi government unlikely to change financial year, date of Budget could be advanced further

NEW DELHI: The government is unlikely to change the financial year to January-December, though it is considering whether it could further advance the date of the presentation of the Budget by a fortnight or so.
The government this year presented the Budget on February 1, departing from the British-era practice of announcing Budget proposals on February 28.
India currently follows April-March financial year, again a 150-year-old tradition dating back to British rule.
The government had been mulling a shift to January-December financial year and set up a committee to deliberate the issue.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley had on July 21 in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha said, "the matter of changing financial year is under consideration of the government".
"For now (2018-19), changing the financial year appears unlikely," a senior government official told ET, adding that switching this year would mean the budget would have to be presented by end of October or early November, which is unrealistic.
In addition, there is a is thinking that as a big change in taxation — the GST — has been rolled out, it will take some time to settle down. The GST rollout was preceded by the demonetisation exercise. Change in financial year at this juncture will add to the disruption.
As elections are scheduled to be held in 2019, experts believe that the government will not change the financial year then as well.
There have been divergent views on aligning the financial year with the calendar year.
A committee under former chief economic advisor Shankar Acharya was set up in July, 2016 to look at the feasibility of the idea. The panel, however, did not find much merit in the idea.
NITI Aayog discussion note, on the other hand, said a change in the financial year was required as the current system leads to sub-optimal utilisation of working season. The financial year is not aligned with international practices and it impacted data collection and dissemination from the perspective of national accounts.
A parliamentary panel also recommended shifting the financial year to January-December.Prime Minister Narendra Modi, subsequently, at the NITI Aayog governing council meeting on April 23 this year asked the states to "take initiatives in regard of advancing the financial year from January to December", following which Madhya Pradesh announced its intent to change the financial year.While a change in the financial year period for now appears unlikely, advancing the date of the budget is a possibility. The government is happy with the outcome of an early budget this year. It enabled front loading of government spending and its capital spending went up by 58 % in the first two months of 2017-18 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

UNI Global Union General Secretary Philip Jennings named member of influential ILO Commission on Future World of Work.

In the presence of the Prime Minister of Sweden and the President of Mauritius, the ILO has launched a high-level international body to address the challenges of the rapidly transforming world of work. 
Jennings said, “The challenges we face are profound and the choices to be made call for a collective effort. The ILO has the opportunity to put policies in place that guarantee humanity comes first.
“We must ensure a just transition for working people into this Brave New World of Work. Trade unions are showing that they are innovators and facing up to the challenges of the digital revolution. It’s vital that unions are given a seat at the table because in the end workers and the creation of decent jobs will determine whether or not the Future World of Work is a success or a failure."
The global body is expected to undertake an in-depth examination of the future of work that can provide the analytical basis for the delivery of social justice in the 21st century.  The Commission will focus in particular on the relationship between work and society, the challenge of creating decent jobs for all, the organization of work and production, and the governance of work.
Speaking at the launch, ILO Director-General Guy Ryder reminded the audience that these were key issues of our time which increasingly occupy political life and define hopes, and sometimes fears, of families across the world. 
“It is fundamentally important that we confront these challenges from the conviction that the future of work is not decided for us in advance. It is a future that we must make according to the values and preferences that we choose and through policies that we design and implement,” he said. 
The ceremony was attended by two serving heads of state or government co-chairing the Commission: Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, President of Mauritius, and Stefan Löfven, Prime Minister of Sweden. 
In her address at the launch, the President of Mauritius strongly encouraged “all countries and stakeholders to come up with comprehensive recommendations and novel ideas on how to address the opportunities and challenges of the future of work. We can accomplish this by ‘putting people first’, by recognising that labour is more than simply a commodity in the labour market in the spirit of the ILO Constitution, or even just a factor of production.” 
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said, “We cannot stop development, nor should we. What we need to do is come together: to harness innovation to improve the daily lives of millions, to use new technology to build cleaner and more sustainable societies, and at the same time create new jobs with better conditions for everyone. These objectives lie at the heart of this Commission." 
The Commission was set up under the ILO’s Future of Work Centenary Initiative launched by the ILO Director-General in 2013. The members of the Commission will produce an independent report that will be submitted to the Centenary Conference of the ILO in 2019. 
Over the past 18 months, the ILO’s tripartite constituents - governments, employer and worker organizations - have held national dialogues in over 110 countries in the run-up to the launch of the Global Commission. The outcome of these dialogues will feed into the report of the Commission.

7th Pay Commission – Govt Saved 40,000 Crore in Delaying Implementation

The government saved Rs 40,000 crore by delaying the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. Sources say that the decision to delay was an intentional one and the government wanted to save a big chunk of money.
The delay caused a great deal of anguish and frustration to the central government employees. The employees say that the government played the role of a villain in delaying the  7th pay commission implementation.

The reason behind the delay

The government had a clear intention of saving on finances. It did not go into the hardship of the employees and their lower pay scale. The delay in fact helped the government save Rs 40,000 crore. This is the main reason why the implementation of the allowances were delayed.

No scope for higher pay

The government has repeatedly been requested to increase the basic pay. While unions have been pressing for the demand, the government says that there is non further scope to increase the basic pay.

Employees are frustrated but the Unions give no hope

The fact that the allowances were given from July 2017 made the central government employees very frustrated. All along they had waited for good news and thought that allowance with arrears would be paid from July 2016 onwards. The demands are there for higher arrears, but the frustration is likely to continue as the government at present is in no mood to oblige. However they feel that the unions too have gone into the shell and there is one to express their anguish and frustration to the government.
