Encourage news ! But there should be a deadline for payment of the 60% arrears so that offices couldn't delay the payment because of some baseless reasons.

The govt. has done a great job as promised for which all central employees are grateful. The festive timing for declaration is also very suitable. No more delay should be allowed in making payment.

As we are facing a lot of problems to collect food bill & convence bill while on tour. As a result we are not even able to get what we have spend,so it should be converted to DA in rural & urban areas.It will also minimise clarical work.

Samir Bose,  August 26, 2009 at 2:42 PM  

ALL WE KNOW THAT PFRDA-NPS IS A BIG FLOP AND NOW GOVERNMENT HAS SET A PRECONDITION FOR PAYMENT OF SECOND INSTALMENT OF 60% PAY COMMISSION ARREARS FOR POST 1.1.2004 RECRUITED CG EMPLOYEES

NEW CG EMPLOYEES RECRUITED ON OR AFTER 1.1.2004 WILL NOT BE PAID 60% ARREARS UNLESS THEY SIGN THE FORM REGISTERING THEMSELVES UNDER THE NEW PENSION SCHEME

DDOs ARE ORDERED NOT TO PAY 60% ARREARS WITHOUT SUBMISSION OF REGISTRATION FORM FOR NPS FROM THOSE EMPLOYEES

THIS IS A MEASURE TO TAKE FORCEFUL REGISTRATION FROM ALL THE POST 1.1.2004 RECRUITED EMPLOYEES SINCE THE ACTION OF GOVERNMENT IN ANNOUNCING THE NPS IS DONE BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS WITHOUT AMENDING PENSION ACT

Dear All! The Government Orders made it compulsory for payment of 60% of Pay Commission Arrears to all Government Employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004 to submit a form signing for registering under New Pension Scheme to get Permanent Retirement Account Number [PRAN]. The form of registration under NPS shall be submitted to the National Securities Depositories Limited [NSDL] before 31.08.2009 by the respective DDOs.

Nasirkhan August 26, 2009 at 3:47 PM  

thanks alot for announcing 60% arrears. thanks to UPA government. announcing before EID festival.

Lister,  August 26, 2009 at 4:00 PM  

I praise and thank God. Atlast, the 60% arrears came with a bang to CG employees.

Sekar,  August 26, 2009 at 4:08 PM  

I thank God for granting 60% of arrears. However, I will be even more happy if I get this arrears in this month itself.

I hope as far as Orders regarding 60% arrears to Pensioners, the same is applicable Army to Pensioners also or any other specific Order is required for release of 60% arrears to retired Army Pensioners. Clarification on the query will bring some lights to the doubt. Thanks.

yesskishore,  August 27, 2009 at 10:51 AM  

The deadline for disbursement has been fixed for pensioners i.e., before 30th Sept 2009. Probably going by the same analogy the regular employees also might get the arrears before the said date

If the 60% of arrears will be deposited in GPF, whether it will be exempted from Income-tax in addition to the savings of Rs.one lakh for the year 2009-10.

Being the entrants of Government Service on or after 01/01/2004 we are compulsorily fall under the New Pension Scheme. Being fully controversial in its formulation, the New Pension Scheme is yet to be accepted by our parliament and the basic postulates of the Scheme need to be fully regularized.

Now for the purpose of the registration and allotment of PRAN(Permanent Retirement Account Number) the Ministry Of Finance instructed vide its departmental O.M cited under reference (2) stated that, “in the case of post-0l/01/2004 entrants into the Central Government, the second installment of arrears may be released only after individual application forms for registration to the New Pension Scheme have been obtained by the DDO/PAO from the concerned Government servant.” this is totally against the Principle of Natural Justice and being the model employer of the State, the Government of India should not impose ill conceived office procedures in regard to the New Pension Scheme, in a forceful manner to its employees as it is required.

As the payment of 60% arrears to the central government employees is arising only out of the implementation of the Sixth Central Pay commission and not because of the post entrants and pre-entrants of Government services on or after 01/01/2004. This is absolutely against the Article 14(1) of the Constitution of India which envisages that, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.”.
In a stage when there is no clear cut operating procedures and with the question of who is going to be managing the funds of the New Pension Scheme still uncertain, in this scenario these kind of forcible instructions from the democratic state, is seriously viewed by this innocent category of Central Government Employees as highly undemocratic and feel insecure about their future life. It is the duty and obligation of the State and its Departments to establish its requisite office procedures by means of very transparent and in an informative manner to the beneficiaries of the of any Scheme (like New Pension Scheme), but not in the way of simply bifurcating the Central Government Employees as post entrant and pre entrants of the Government Service based on their appointments and putting a precondition for paying their legitimate payment arrears which shall deviate the role of the welfare state from the basic goal of social equity and public welfare

why govt is delaying announcement of da as it is due from july 2009. prices of essential commodities is rising day by day and govt is helpless to control the rising prices.

aravindraj September 7, 2009 at 8:04 PM  

one side the government give and another side the amount recovered by income tax it is not for good. why the government not implement 3 lakes savings order from this finance year. government can only receive the tax from the salary people it can do it same from the business man and others not possible. monthly salary peoples only slaves to government.
