Circular for Leave Regulrisation:New

       It was reported that individuals who are returning from leave are not submitting the regularisation application and some cases they are taking very log time to submit their application. To warn them to improve their behaviour HQ Kavaratti has issued a very sterned circular and fixed a time within which regularisation request has to be submitted.

New Rule for Attachment from one UT to another.

In few months, it  saw that more IRBn personnel are submitting their request for attachment from one unit to another unit on very  reasons and in some case, they are also bringing influences from senior officers or politicians.

To tame this ongoing tendency the battalion, headquarter decided to extinguish this tendency from bud, a detailed circular has been issued for all the personnel of IRBn.

This circular is very clearly said that if anyone requesting for attachment on any ground and if an attachment is granted, then he has to remain that many days or month to his posted unit for completing his tenure posting. But this circular is not applicable if anybody temporarily attached or posted on administrative reason/public interest will not come under this category.

7th Pay Commission: Calculate your Annual increment

As per the 7th Pay Commission's report, the rate of annual increment is remained to be unchanged i.e 3% per annum. But 7th Pay Commission recommended Pay matrix base so your annual increment may not be exact 3% but it will be little up and down to match the pay matrix. 

As per 6th pay commission recommendation an employee is getting his increment 3% of the total of  pay band plus  grade pay in every year on 1 Jul.

But here an employee may get little more or less of 3% as pay has to move one step up in pay matrix. As in Pay Matrix,  next level of pay is calculated  in such way that it is 3% higher in next level.

Pay matrix

Suppose an employee  drawing, salary is Rs.20500  in level 2nd index 3 then after increment his salary will move one index up and his salary will  Rs.21100.

As per commission recommendation the minimum six months service required for becoming eligible for an increment. Like private sector tried to make the increment with performance related.  The commission in its report said that:

"‘….There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happens as a matter of course. The perception is that grant of MACP, although subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted.

This Commission believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments. The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.

This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is not a penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding increments will not be applicable in such cases. This will be treated as an “efficiency bar”. Additionally, for such employees, there could be an option to leave service on similar terms and conditions as prescribed for voluntary retirement”.

Retirement age recommendation by 7th CPC

On many occasion, Government clearly reiterated that they are not going to enhance the retirement age Government employee, but 7th CPC with divided view has recommended  enhancement of  the retirement age of four CPMF i.e. CRPF, BSF, ITBP and SSB  from 57 years to 60 from constabulary to Commandant Rank official to bring the parity with other CPMF like Assam Rifles and CISF. 

However this is not a consensus recommendation so now we need to wait whether the government is agreeing or not with the retirement age enhancement recommendation of 7th CPC but 7th CPC has given its recommendation to enhance the retirement age of CRPF, BSF, ITBP, SSB and Coast Guard from 57 years to 60 years.

Know you payment after Implementation of 7th Pay Commission report

Which ever unit I visit the sub officers and Jawans ask only one question with greate cruosity that on implementation of 7 CPC what will be their finam payment.   So to answer their  quiry I visit many site and read out the report submitted by 7th CPC and come to understad that it is very easy to calculate the final payment on the basis of 7th CPC recommedation.  
  

The simple formula is, suppose your Grade pay is Rs. 2400 and pay in pay band is Rs 7400, then your final payment n implementation of 7th CPC will be calculated as under steps

       

Step-1

 Add your Grade pay and pay band pay i.e Rs 2400 + Rs 7400=Rs.9800

Step-2
Now multiply the total outcome of step one with the 7th CPC fitment i.e 2.57
 Rs. 9800 x 2.57=Rs. 25186

Step-3
 Now search this amount in the below given matrix table in your Grade pay coloumn in this case Rs.2400 coloumn Rs 25186  or above nearest  of Rs 25186 will be your payment.

In above matrix table Rs 25186 is not there and above neares amount is Rs.25500 so the final salary on implementation of 7th CPC will be 25500.
