One Rank One Pension - இரயில்வே கோரிக்கை

Exempting Railway employees from the NPS and also consider OROP – NFIR

NFIR

National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

3, CHELMSFORD ROAD,NEW DELHI – 110 055

Affiliated to:

Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC)

International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF)

No.IV/NPS/PFRDA BILL

Dated: 06-09-2015

Shri Narendra Modi,

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India

Respected Sir,

Sub: Uniform Pension Scheme to retiring Railways employees at par with ex-servicemen – reg.

At the outset, the National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR) thanks the Government for conceding to the demand of ex-Servicemen for introduction of “One Rank – One Pension” for them.

In this connection, I would invite your kind attention to the case of Railway employees numbering over 1.3 million as placed below:-

The Railway employees have been subjected to injustice as a result of introduction of New Pension Scheme (which is a contributory pension scheme) with effect from 01/01/2004. Consequently, those employees who joined railways on and after 01-01-2004 are governed by the contributory pension scheme with present nomenclature “New Pension System”(NPS).

Presently, there are two sections of Rail Workforce – One governed by the Liberalized pension Scheme (applicable to pre 01-01-2004 appointees) and the other one governed by the contributory pension scheme i.e. NPS applicable to post 01.01.2004 appointees. Since 2004, NFIR has been pressing the Government of India and the Ministry of Railways to withdraw New Pension Scheme as the duties and responsibilities of Railway employees are very complex, Complicated and their working conditions are arduous as they perform duties at remote places, extremist infested areas, jungle areas, without any supply chain. Vast percentage of Railway employees cannot afford to have timely medicines, social life, schooling facilities etc.,

Pursuant to the discussions held with the Railway Ministry on our pending demand seeking abolition of New pension-Scheme in Railways, the then Railway Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge had agreed with the demand and accordingly he had sent a communication to the Finance Ministry on 29-03-2014 duly explaining the nature of duties of the Railway employees and seeking Government’s approval for exempting the Railway employees from the NPS whereby they can be governed by the Liberalized pension scheme. This issue is continued to remain unresolved.

For your kind appreciation, I mention here that according to the report of the Dr.Anil Kakodkar committee, Submitted to the Railway Ministry in the year 2012. the death rate of Railway employees in the courses of performing duties was much larger than the public. I quote below the figures given by the High Level Safety Review committee headed by Dr.Kakodkar.
Killed / Injured
(a)    Railway employees - 1600 8700
(b)   Passenger/ Public - 1019 2110
(c)    Unmanned Level Crossing - 723 690

The above position reveals that the Railway employees killed during the period 2007-08 to 2011 were 1600 while those injured on duty were 8700. This figure would convince that the duties of Railway employee cannot be treated as less arduous in comparison with the defence and para-military forces. Like armed forces, Railway employees are expected to remain at their place of posting even during periodic rest and they cannot afford to leave the headquarters and they perform duties under open sky facing inclement weather conditions and ensure running of trains round the clock.

It would therefore, be necessary to exempt Railway employees from the New Pension System (NPS).

2. Need to provide Uniform pension Scheme or One Rank – One Pension to Rail Workforce:

The Railway employees discharges their duties round the clock by shifts and over 85% staff work in remote places where no human life exists. Their duties are safety- oriented. The are facing continuous stress and strain in the course of performing. Train passing duties causing health hazards leading to pre-mature death, medical invalidation at a scale larger than the armed/Par-Military forces. The demand for introduction of Uniform Pension Scheme to Railway employees of the same rank regardless of their date of retirement deserve consideration like that of retiring armed personnel.

I therefore, request you to kindly see that the Government accords approval, exempting Railway employees from the New Pension System for the purpose of covering them under the Liberalized Pension Scheme. I also request that “One Rank – One Pension” Scheme i.e. uniform pension for Railway employees retiring in the same rank regardless of their retirement may kindly be approved by the Government, considering the fact that Railway personnel are serving the nation, transporting military hardware and the army to the borders and ensuring uninterrupted movement of rail transport services at all times round the clock in all weather conditions.

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-

(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)

General Secretary.

Army’s 40 Year Dream Comes True

One Rank One Pension – Army’s 40 Year Dream Comes True; to be Implemented from July 1, 2014

OROP Scheme : The long-pending demand of the ex-servicemen, for which they have been fighting for decades, has finally been granted.

The Centre has finally decided to implement the OROP. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has made the announcement in this regard.

Although it is being generally said that the demand was being made for 40 years, the movement picked up momentum only about 10 years ago. All their protests, to attract the Centre’s attention, have finally succeeded, one must say.

Some even accuse that the centre had granted the OROP after buckling under pressure due to the protests from the ex-servicemen.

The fact that the ex-servicemen have welcomed the move, despite some unfavourable clauses being introduced by the Government in the original bill, must be appreciated here. Arguments and debates continue over the revision clauses- those in service get a revision of pension each year. This is one of the major disagreements between the government and the protesters. The protesters expected a revision once every two years, but the government has remained adamant over revision once every five years.

NEW DELHI: Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said on Saturday that the government has decided to implement the "one rank, one pension" scheme.

Here is the highlights of Parrikar's announcement on the OROP:

1. OROP will be implemented from July 1, 2014 and the base year would be 2013.

2. The estimated cost to implement OROP would be between Rs 8,000 crore to Rs 10,000.

3. Pension of ex-servicemen will be revised every five years.

4. Re-fixed pension will be the average of minimum and maximum pension in 2013.

5. OROP arrears to be paid in 4 half-yearly installments.

6. Those drawing pensions above the average will be protected.

7. A one-member judicial committee will be constituted. It will give reports on equalisation period in 6 months.

8. Personnel who retire voluntarily will not be covered under OROP scheme.

மாலை அரசு அறிவிப்பு 
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday extended the deadline for the Seventh Pay Commission to submit its recommendations by four months.
Earlier, it was reported that the commission, headed by Justice AK Mathur, had sought one-month extension of the deadline.
Appointed by the then UPA government in February 2014, the commission was given 18 months to submit its report. The time allotted for the commission was to expire this month.
The finance ministry estimates the central government's salary bill to rise by nearly 16% to Rs 1.16 lakh crore in the next financial year 2016-17 with the implementation of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.
The pay commission is likely to recommend hike in government employees' salaries by nearly 40%, according to an analyst at global brokerage firm Credit Suisse.
An official of the commission had said that the recommendations "need to be effective from 1 January 2016, or by April 2016 at the latest".
"It will be the government's prerogative when to implement it. But beyond 1 January 2016, there will be arrears. But then, the government will be subject to criticism. Earlier, they had hidden behind Pay Commissions giving late reports," he had said.

Secretary General's appeal to all Secretaries for our future survival.

2ND SEPTEMBER 2015 STRIKE - OUR FUTURE SURVIVAL
Appeal to Divisional Secretaries/Circle Secretaries of FNPO affiliated unions Importance of 2nd September 2015 Strike
Dear Colleagues,
               You are aware that our Federation and its affiliated unions have issued strike notice on 17-8-2015 to participate in the 2nd September 2015 strike called by national trade union centres.
              Our Federation is aware how our sister unions targeted our members during verification. We received hundreds of complaints from various corners complaining about the sister unions and their atrocities. The Federation is very well aware about the local issues. But we have to think globally and act locally. This is the time to go on strike at the national level. If we choose to stay away from strike on the pretext of local animosity, we will be branded as anti-strikers sister unions are expert to propagate against us in this regard. Majority of innocent members always believe false propaganda of sister unions. We should not give room to them, We mentally satisfied with the demands which are placed by the national trade union centres, especially item No. 5 Minimum wage as Rs. 15000/- for Indian worker. Unless minimum wage is raised, we cannot demand Rs. 26000/- raise for Central Government employees. Like-wise, disinvestment, FDI and anti-labour laws are very important for indian Workers today. In regard to Part II now 7th CPC is going to submit its report in August/September 2015. But till date inclusion of GDS case in the 7th CPC purview has been rejected by the Government twice. This is unfair, unethical and unjust and we cannot accept the stand of the Government/Department. The Department/Government is always showing step-motherly treatment to the GDS employees.
             In Railways, Income Tax Department Central Secretariat and other Central Government establishment, Cadre Restructuring has already been implemented. But in our Department it is still pending including MMS. This is the time to show our anger against the Government/Department. Our Federation therefore requests all our colleagues to go on strike on 2nd September 2015. If the strike becomes successful, it will pave way for settling many issues across the table.
I request all our affiliated unions let us keep aside our differences with the sister unions for the time-being to achieve our main goal from the Government/ Department.
