Subject : Anomalies
relating to 7th CPC /allowances suggested 
Respected Sir,
I am submitting the
following Agenda Items for upcoming Anomaly Committee Meeting.  I have already sent Agenda Items through
E-mail. But afterwards many more Anomaly Items were added in the Agenda.
Therefore I am sending Agenda Items of Departmental Anomalies to be included in
final Agenda Items.
You are kindly
requested to please enclose all the anomalies in final Agenda Item.
Thanking you,
     Yours Sincerely
(T.N. Rahate)
General Secretary and
Member - Department
Anomaly Committee
AGENDA
ITEMS
1)  Increase in Fixed
Monetary Compensation for sharing beats by 2.25 times of existing compensation
:
At present, Fixed
Monetary Compensation (FMC) admissible to postman staff is as-
Where one postman
performs duty of an absentee postman by combination of duties : Rs 94/- per
day.
Where two postmen
perform duty of an absentee postman by sharing the beat : Rs 47 per day.
However, these rates
of FMC are revised after formation of 7th CPC. 
Hence, in 7th CPC recommendations the FMC is revised by 2.25 times of
previous rates of Rs 50/- per day and Rs 24/- per day. So, it is necessary to
revise the FMC 2.25 times of existing FMC rates of Rs 94/- & Rs 47/- per
day. (i.e. Rs 94 x 2.25 = Rs212/- & Rs 47 x 2.25 = Rs 106/-). Accordingly,
Holiday Monetary Compensation also needs to be revised on the basis of same
formula. 
2)  Regarding Dress
Allowance to Postman/MTS Staff :
In department of
posts, the postman plays a vital role and postman is identity of this
department among whole society. To maintain this identity, it is very important
that the postman is well and neatly dressed. The postman Uniform consists
additional kit items like cap, bag, sweater, shoes, umbrella etc. For well
maintenance of all these kit items, postman cadre should be given allowance of
Rs 10000/- per annum. 
3)  Retention of Family
Planning Allowance :
7th CPC has
recommended abolition of Family Planning Allowances. In this regard, it is
expected that the same allowance instead of total abolition, should be retained
for those staffs who are currently receiving this and the same may be abolished
for the new cases here onwards. 
4)  Mobile Phone
Allowance to Postman / Mail Overseer Cadre :
Many times the
articles received for delivery are having incomplete address or wrong address.
For this reason, it becomes very difficult to deliver various important
documents of the members of public. Where there is Phone/Mobile number of the
addressee is mentioned on the article, postman staff needs to call the address
for their exact and correct address. Also the mail overseers have to contact
Branch Office Staffs for various reasons like collecting of information and
figures of business development etc. Hence, it is requested that the cadres of
postman and mail overseers should be granted some fixed allowance for meeting
expenses on their mobile bills.
5)  Additional
Pensionary Benefit to the employees retiring on 30th June & 31st Dec.:
Employees who retire
on 30th June or 31st December, actually work through the whole year but due to
the provisions of increment dates as 1st July and 1st January, they are
deprived of one increment even after working for whole year in same pay matrix
level, while granting pensionary benefits to them. So, for all those employees
retiring on 30th June or 31st December, one additional increment should be
granted while calculation of pension amounts. 
All the issues being
important, it is requested to take up the same on priority basis for their
solution.
For Example - Grant of notional increment who
completed one year service at the time of superannuation retirement for
pensionery benefits - Case of Shri Popat Parvati Pawar, LSG Accountant (AHRO
A/C) from RMS B Divn Pune 411001, Maharashtra Circle retired on superannuation
on 30.06.2016 A/N.
1.     I retired on superannuation pension on
30.06.2016 A/N as LSG Accountant (AHRO A/C) from RMS B Divn Pune 411001,
Maharashtra Circle.
2.     Sir, I would like to bring some facts in
c/w increment to be granted at the time of retirement on superannuation
pension.
3.     According to CCS (RP) Rules 2008, there
will be a uniform date of annual increment viz. 1st July of every year. Hence
my pay was fixed under CCS (RP) Rules 2008 on 01.01.2006 with date of next
increment on 1st July 2006. Accordingly I was drawing annual increment on 1ST
July every year from 01.07.2006 to 01.07.2015.
4.     According to CCS (RP) Rules 2016, there
shall be two dates for grant of annual increments namely 1st July and 1st
January every year. My pay is fixed on 01.01.2016 under CCS (RP) Rules 2016.
5.     However, Sir, I retired on superannuation
on 30.06.2016 A/N without getting the benefit of annual increment even though I
have completed the normal incremental period of 12 months from 1st July 2015 to
30.06.2016 as per fundamental Rules for entitlement of annual increment to be
falls on 1st July 2016 and proviso two of rule 10 of CCS (RP) Rules 2016.
6.     This issue is to be decided on higher
level. In this connection I would like to draw kind attention on the orders
issued by State Govt of Tamilnadu on the subject vide GOM no.311 Dtd.
31.12.2014 in order to set right this genuine anomaly which appeared in RMS
worker in AUGUST-2017
7.     In view of above facts and circumstances,
it is therefore prayed to take up the issue with competent Authority that a
Govt servant whose Increment falls due on the day following superannuation on
completion of one year of  service which
is counted for annual increment as per Fundamental Rules may be sanctioned with
one notional increment at the prescribed rate purely for the purpose of
pensionery benefits; so that I can get one notional increment only for
pensionery benefits falls due on 01.07.2016.
8.     I hope your honour will consider above
issue on priority basis in order to avoid my financial loss due to non-getting
of annual increment for pensionery benefit falls due on 01.07.2016.
6)  Anomaly in awarding
the financial upgradation in the cadre while completing/rendering 10/20/30
years of service :
In this context it is
very clear that one who complete the service in the cadre 10/20/30 would get
financial upgradation as MACP I, MACP II and MACP III.
It is irrespective of
the officials regular promotions like LGO and likewise the Supreme Courts
verdict also confirm the same. Yet the Administration in many Circles are not
giving IInd or IIIrd MACP to the eligible officials as they are counting Group
D to Postman as one promotion and Postman to Postal Assistance second one. The
financial promotions are related to the period rendered in the cadre only.
Hence this anomaly should be cleared.
Union demand - MACP
treated by one cadre completed and 10/20/30 years, give 10/20/30 year Financial
Upgradation MACP I and not service.
7)  Anomaly while
granting IInd and IIIrd MACP to the Promotee Employee who have promoted from
Group D/MTS to Postman and Postman/MTS to PA cadre.
Brief : According to the basic structure
of granting MACP it is stated that whoever is rendering 10/20/30 years
service in the said cadre would be entitled for the 10/20/30 MACP.
It is observed that
whenever any Promotee Postman and PA rendered 10/20/30 years of service
he is deprived of his further MACP Promotions. If any officer issues
such Order the Audit Party objected and the recovery was being made from the
salary of the officials.
Hence in view of the
clarity in the said situation it is requested to issue the guidelines as
whoever the promotee render 10/20 years service completed would get his MACP
in due course of time, he should not be awaited till completion of 20 and 30
years of service in the cadre. The said Anomaly be cleared by issuing
clarification on it.
For Example, If a
Group D/MTS is promoted as Postman after three years, he has got the
promotion, but even after completing 10 years of service he is not getting
MACP I (but Promotion II). After completing 20 years of service he
is getting promotion MACP II (he is getting next promotion after 17 years of
service). 
The Postman who was
promoted after 3 years of service got TBOP promotion for 16 years, but
after completing 20 years of service he will get MACP II (but treated 3rd
promotion) will not be given. He is getting 3rd promotion after completing
30 years of service. This means he is getting 3rd Promotion after 14
years. This is a biggest anomaly.
8)  Anomalies in
connection with 7th CPC
(A)  I would
like to bring the following issue concerning the Monetary loss of officials in
connection with 7th CPC for kind information to take up Issues in anomaly
committee Meeting. 
i)     You may please be go through  the reports which the commission of 7th CPC,
Nowhere restricted for retrospective fixation of pay, instead Prospective  fixation of pay has been recommended in the  Para of the 7th CPC Report 4.1.20,
4.1.21,  5.1.36, 5.1.44, 5.1.47  under mentioned briefly. A Copy enclosed and
marked as Annexure-1
ii)         3% of increment should be
considered at the time   the   fixation of pay on promotion /up gradation
under MACPs  from where changing one Level
to another,
which ever would be
benefits to officials. The following recommendation of 7th CPC Report and
recent order issued as under shown.
        a)     Para
5.1.38 of the 7th CPC Report says that the rate of Annual Increment is being
retained at 3%.
        b)     Recent
order issued by Dept. of Personal & Trg vide OM No. 35034/3/2008 Estt(D)
(Vol.II) dated 04.07.2017 the says that 3% of pay should be fixed at the time
of promotion/upgradation - Illustration is Enclosed marked as Annexure-2.
                   Because, Para of
the 7th CPC Report 5.1.36 (g)  stated
that The new pay matrix is expected to be 
easy to administer. So 3% of increment is not Rolled out, 
iii)   Fixation of pay under 7th CPC to the
Officials who opted revised pay under 7th CPC Rule 6 (2)] Option-II from date
of promotion or date of accrual increment should be considered, if not consider
huge monetary loss has occurred with  a
recurring of Rs. 4300  per month,
throughout my service (only in Basic) when compared the  officials who 
drawn promotion on or before dated 31-12-2015 or  24-07-2016 
this date.  A Copy enclosed and
marked as Annexure-3. 
iv)   The officials 
are unable to decided opt an option 
under FR 22(1) (a)(i),  due
to  they are not received the correct
date and month  with full
information  in connection with fixation
of pay  when  the officials request to concerned Authority,

Para of the 7th CPC
Report
4.1.20, 4.1.21,
 5.1.36, 5.1.44 and 5.1.47 under mentioned 
4.1.20     There
is uniformity in fixation of pay whether at entry level or on promotion or at
the time of migrating from one pay regime to another. The new pay structure
will bring out clearly what the total emoluments will be at a given point in
time during one’s career span. The rate of pay progression will also be stated
upfront for existing as well as new entrants.
4.1.21     Since, substantial delayering had already been
attempted by the previous Pay Commissions, this Commission is not removing any
levels, but to simplify the pay structure, the grades pay have been subsumed in
the pay band to form distinct levels. The new pay structure is a construct in
the matrix format and provides open ended progression in pay at all levels.
5.1.36     Although the rationalisation has been done with
utmost care to ensure minimum bunching at most levels, however if situation
does arise whenever more than two stages are bunched together, one additional
increment equal to 3 percent may be given for every two stages bunched, and pay
fixed in the subsequent cell in the pay matrix.
Modified Assured
Career Progression (MACP)
5.1.44  Although a number of
demands were received for increasing the frequency of MACP as well as to
enhance the financial benefit accruing out of it, this Commission feels that
the inherent issues in the existing pay structure owing to which there was
widespread resent have been set right by way of rationalisation of
pay levels, abolition
of pay band and grade pay and introduction of a matrix based open pay
structure. Hence, there is no justification for increasing the frequency of
MACP and it will continue to be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years as before.
In the new Pay matrix, the employees will move to the immediate next level in
the hierarchy. Fixation of pay will follow the same principle as that for a
regular promotion in the pay matrix. MACP will continue to be applicable to all
employees up to HAG level except members of Organised Group ‘A’ Services where
initial promotions upto NFSG are time bound and hence assured.
Benefits of Migrating
to a new System
5.1.447   The following benefits are expected to accrue by
migrating to the new system :
        (a)   The
issues raised by various stakeholders in respect of the existing pay structure
have been addressed by subsuming of grade pay and pay bands into one composite
level.
        (b)   The
correction of variable spacing between adjacent grade pay and pay bands by way
of rationalisation has been effected. The disparity between PB-3 and PB-4 has
been set right by the process of normalisation. This will also help address the
demands for upgradation of grade pay received in the Commission solely on
grounds of disparity between various pay bands.
        (c)   The
fixation of revised pay has been greatly simplified in the new pay matrix and
will not involve further calculations. The basic pay being drawn by any person
on the date of implementation is to be multiplied by a factor of 2.57 and the
figure so obtained will be matched for the closest figure in the level
pertaining to his/her existing grade pay and fixed there.
        (d)   The
issue of differential entry pay has been resolved.
(e) The employee can traverse both vertically
within a level in the new pay matrix by way of annual progression, and
horizontally across levels by way of MACP as well as on regular promotion. This
will enable him/her to visualise the career path across levels and span of
service.
        (f)   The
new matrix will provide greater visibility and transparency with respect to
actual pay drawn as compared to the earlier system of pay scales or pay bands.
It will also depict the exact amount payable to a person in relation to number
of years spent in service in each level.
        (g)   The
new pay matrix is expected to be easy to administer.
        (h)   In
line with the principle of greater transparency, the new pay matrix will
provide an unambiguous and complete view of the pay system in the Government of
India.
         (i)   The
pay matrix can be gainfully analysed to provide crucial data on trends in pay
progression, number of personnel populating each level, number of personnel
entering and retiring at various levels, promotional trends of various cadres,
financial outgo at various levels, and so on. Hence, it can act as a powerful
tool to bring in financial management reforms.

Denying, fixation of pay under 7th CPC to officials
who opted from date of Promotion or date of
Increment
 I would like to draw your kind
attention that the HRO/DDO of Bengaluru Sorting Division, Bangalore-26 are
denying, fixation of pay under 7th CPC to the officials who opted revised pay
under 7th CPC Rule 6 (2) Option-II from date of promotion or date of accrual
increment, in this connection the following facts and justification put forth
to your kind perusal and needful necessary action.
1.     In this regard brought to notice of the
HRO, the SSRM, and the PMG, Bengaluru HQ Region, Bengaluru-01, respectively by
my letters dates 15-10-2016 and 19-06-2016 Copy enclosed and marked as Annexure-1
& 2 but so far no action being taken by the HRO/DDO of Bengaluru
Sorting Division, Bangalore-26.
2.     In the result huge monetary loss has
occurred with a recurring of Rs. 4300 per month, throughout my service
(only in Basic) when compared the officials who drawn promotion on or before dated
31-12-2015 or 24-7-2016 this date. Copy enclosed and marked a Annexure-3.
3.     Denying, fixation of pay under 7th CPC
which I have opted for revised pay under 7th CPC from date of promotion or date
of increment, i.e. 1-7-2017, thereby forgoing the arrears from 1-1-2016 to date
of promotion or upto the date of subsequent increment say, 1-7-2017, the same
arrears are not drawn by the HRO/DDO. Copy enclosed and marked as Annexure-4.
4.     My promotion/upgradation was due from Grade
Pay 2800 to 4200.
5.     I was continued to draw pay under 6th
CPC, till 1-7-2017.
6.     Dearness Allowance was drawn on 1-6-2016
under 6th CPC.
7.     Dearness Allowance was drawn on 1-1-2017
under 6th CPC.
8.     The promotion orders were issued by the
SSRM under 6th CPC that Reference to the Order of Directorate OM No.
4-7 (MACPS) 2009-PCC dated 18-9-2009 and clarification issued Directorate
Letter 4-7 (MACPS) 2009-PCC dated 9-12-2009 as per 6th CPC. Copy enclosed
and marked as Annexure-5.
9.     The Committee of 7th CPC expressed their
view in the report that the overall aim of 7th CPC is transparency,
simplification and rationalization of the entire Pay Structure, keeping
historical parities, present realities.
10.   You may please go through the reports which
the Commission of 7th CPC, Nowhere restricted for retrospective fixation of
pay, instead Prospective fixation of pay has been recommended in the Para of
the 7th CPC Report 4.1.20, 4.1.21, 5.1.36, 5.1.44, 5.1.47 has been under
mentioned briefly. The detailed extracts are enclosed in the Annexure-6.
        a)     The
rate of pay progression will be upfront for existing as well as new entrants.
        b)     Since
substantial delayering had already been attempted by the previous pay
Commissions, this Commission is not removing any levels, but to simplify the
pay structure, the grades pay have been subsumed in the pay band to form
distinct levels.
        c)     The
employee can traverse both vertically within a level in the new pay matrix by
way of annual progression, and horizontally across levels by way of MACP as
well as on regular promotion.
11.   Recently issued an Order, in the case of 7th
CPC pay matrix Level-13 fitment factor enhanced from 2.57 to 2.67 by Government
the reason was stated that index of Renationalization and the benefit of pay
protection in this connection an order issued by Department of Expenditure
Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC New Delhi 16-5-2017.
12.   Under FR 23 it says that the holder of a
post, the pay of which is changed is entitled to the option to remain his old
pay until the date on which his next or any subsequent increment on the old
scale, or until he vacates his post or ceases to draw pay on that time scale.
13.   However, the Committee of 7th CPC and Government
in their 25-7-2017 Order and other relevant Orders has not been issued such an
Order either to not accept or deny to an option-II from the officials after
25-7-2017.
14.   Officials Annual Increment was only in the
month of July under 6th CPC, the Annual increment of officials were drawn
before the Notification of 7th CPC on dated 25-7-2016.
15.   Subsequently, a clarificatory Order was
issued by Department of Expenditure (Implementation Cell) on 29th September
2016, option of fixation of pay was Allowed to officials whose date of
promotion/financial upgradation on dated 1-7-2016 to 25-7-2016 under 7th CPC
thus which implies that in cases where there is promotion/upgradation between
1-7-2016 to 30-6-2017 in the case of subsequent increment on 1-7-2017.
16.   Since the HRO/DDO is pay drawing and
disbursing Officer and have discretion to fixation of pay in the interest of
staff and Department as well, he may be used his discretion to fixation of pay
by undertaking from officials, when there is a justification, it is seen
comparison in respect of Officials whose fixation of pay on or before
31-12-2015 and 24-7-2016 is drawn higher than us, though the SSRM issued an
Order vide Letter No. B-1/MACP/SA/2017-18/V dated 1-8-2017 wherein stated that
to take such a decision, which benefit to officials, Copy enclosed and marked
as Annexure-7.
17.   The HRO, still no action is being taken, he
has kept me in dark in the name of receipt of Clarification from Directorate,
in result this has caused me monetary loss from long time and it forced me to
borrow the money from others on interest. Copy enclosed and marked as Annexure-8.
It is therefore, I
pray your kindself to necessary instruction may be issued to concerned
Divisional Head and HRO/DDO to consider the option which was opted by me.
Kindly review the
issue and retain natural and equitable justice.

Forwarding an anomaly about my pay Fixation on 2nd
MACP for Departmental Anomaly Committee. Ref.: JCM/Anomaly Committee
This is regarding the
subject mentioned above which is stated below for kind attention and
consideration.
I, Shri Jayanta Kumar
Ghosh, Sorting Assistant, working under Kolkata RMS DN, am awaiting for 2nd
Promotion (after completion of 20 years of regular service in SA cadre) as
MACP-II suggested at 6th CPC which was due on 26-4-2017.
On 1-1-2016 after
implementation of 7th CPC my pay was fixed at Rs. 42,800/- when I have already
completed 18 years 8 months i.e. just at the door of 2nd MACP and I was eagerly
waiting for getting pay fixation benefit on the date of my 2nd MACP i.e. 21-4-2017
/ 26-4-2017/ 29-5-2017 with adding of Rs. 1400/- in c/w grade pay and
subsequently two increments on the total pay as like as our predecessor had got
the said benefit. Accordingly, my pay would be fixed after 2nd MACP at Rs.
49,000/- with DNI 1-7-2017.
But surprisingly, as
per 7th CPC, after 2nd MACP my pay is fixed at Rs. 46,200/- instead of actual
expected amount of Rs. 49,000/-. There is a net loss in Basic pay of (Rs.
49000-Rs. 46200 = Rs. 2800/- and 24% HRA and 4% DA) thereon (approx. Rs.
3700/- per month). This overall loss of pay will be more year after year
and remains forever.
Furthermore, this type
of anomaly is already sorted out recently for promotional cases vide office
Memorandum No. 2-16/2017-PAP, Government of India, Ministry of Communications,
Department of Posts (Estt. Divn./PAP Section), Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg, New
Delhi-1 dtd. 19-7-2017.
Kindly look into the
matter for positive outcome and please let me know the action taken by you.
9)  Anomaly
in Pay Matrix Levels of 7th CPC.
(A)  Why 3%
Annual Increment is not maintained uniformly in Pay Matrix?
7th Pay Commission, in
its 900-page report, has mentioned many times that Annual Increment @ 3% of
basic pay to be granted to Central Government Employees. But the Staff
Association has not satisfied with calculation of increments in 7th CPC and
reported that it has not been calculated properly in pay matrix.
Evolving a pay
structure to fit for 35 lakh Central Government Employees with a new format in
the name of Pay Matrix is indeed a great wonder. But the assurance of granting
of 3% of pay for Annual Increment between two cells is not maintained at many
places in the pay Matrix.
First time in the Pay Commission
history, the Sixth CPC had recommended that 3% of basic pay to be given as
Annual Increment for CG Staffs. As well as an innovative approach also was
adopted to calculate the Annual Increment.
Example for 100 to
110, rounding off next ten was calculated as 100 upto 100.90 and from 100.90
onwards it was rounded off to 110. Due to this method of calculation, 99% of
cases of Government Servants were ensured that minimum 3% of basic pay was
granted as annual increment.
There are 540 Cells in
the pay matrix recommended by 7th Pay Commission. In which many cells are
lesser than 3% of Basic Pay. At the same time, it cannot be denied that some
cells are having more than 3% of Basic Pay.
“The rate of annual
increment is being retained at 3%”. Para 5.1.21 - The vertical range of each
level denotes pay progress within that level. That indicates steps of annual
financial progression of 3% within each level.
For example - (i)
However, contrary to
the above principle laid down by 7th CPC, the actual increment rate in the
following pay level of the pay matrix are less than 3% as illustrated in the
following table-

(B)  Anomaly in Pay
Matrix levels of 7th CPC - PBI
Government issued
Gazette Notification, following which the employees will now get the revised
pay from their August salaries, but during this situation, many government
employees observed many defects in the 7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix.
As per the 7th Pay
Commission Revised Pay Rules 2016, 7, A(i) “the pay shall be fixed at the immediate
next higher cell in that applicable Level of the Pay Matrix”.
During increment an
employee will move one step down in the same level in the pay matrix, incase
employee basic pay is 18000, during increment he will be moved down to one
level, and he gets increment of 18500, which means he/she get 500 rupees
increment in the basic pay.
18000
i
18500
19100
19700
Incase if we compare with
6th CPC Increment of 3%, then an employee may get difference in the actual
increment (more or less than 3%).
Example - 1
Basic Pay 18000* 3% = 540,
= 18000 + 540 = 18540
As per 7th Pay Commission
Pay Matrix, increment has been fixed at 18500, so employees gets only 2.78 hike
in salary.
Example - 2
Basic Pay 18500* 3% = 560,
= 18500 + 560 = 19060,
As per 7th Pay Commission
Pay Matrix, increment has been fixed at 19100, so employees gets only 3.23 hike
in salary.
