The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Coms.,
Sub: Feedback of the 5th meeting of the National
Anomaly Committee
5th meeting of the National Anomaly Committee was held today under
the chairmanship of Secretary,
DoP&T.
At the outset Com. Umraomal Purohit, Secretary, Staff Side, National
Council(JCM), raised the following points:-
He explained the background of setting-up of JCM Scheme and emphasized that
the scheme has been
effective to resolve the disputes between the Central
Government employees and Government of India. But of late, the scheme is not
been administered properly causing frustration among the Central Government
employees.
He reminded the Secretary, DoP&T that since he is the custodian of the
scheme, it would be appropriate for him to see that the scheme functions both at
the National and Departmental levels in its letter and spirit.
He said that the meeting of the Ordinary Meeting of the National Council,
JCM(full-fledged meeting) was held on 15.05.2010 and after that no meeting
has been held. He mentioned that, as per JCM Constitution, minimum 3 meetings should be organized after every 4 months.
He further said that, earlier 4/5 Sub-Committees have been formed to deal
with the items in the agenda, but nowadays Sub-Committees are also not being
formed.
He also said that in many departments, Departmental Council has not yet been
formed on some plea or the other, and where Departmental Councils are yet to
form, the Anomaly Committee is totally absent.
He also stated that, wherever Departmental Council and Anomaly Committee have
been formed, they have not been allowed to take independent decision and
they are to depend on everything on Ministry of Finance or DoP&T.
He said that we are crossing six years of the VI CPC report and shortly there
is likely demand of setting-up of Seventh Central Pay Commission. Unfortunately,
anomalies of the VI CPC are yet to be settled.
He said that separate discussion should be held in respect of MACP Scheme
matters, and the date for the same should be fixed very shortly.
Reciprocating, the Secretary DoP&T advised all the departments to send
their status position in respect of formation of Departmental Council, expansion
and formation of Departmental Anomaly Committee.
He also demanded that the pending issues should be settled early and meeting
of the National Council(JCM) should be convened after Monsoon Session of the
Parliament.
He also said that separate meeting for deciding MACP Scheme should be fixed
within this month.
2. General Secretary AIRF, Com. Shiva Gopal Mishra, stated that the unanimous
recommendations made by the Railways’ Departmental Anomalies Committee are
not being implemented because these have not been cleared by the DoP&T
and MoF(Exp.). He demanded de-centralization and delegation of powers to the
ministries for smooth and quick decisions. He also mentioned that where already
fundamental rule
exists, like fixation under FR-22(C), why MoF(Exp.) insists
for reference to them. It should be done by the
ministries themselves.
3. General Secretary AIRF, Com. Shiva Gopal Mishra, Working President AIRF,
