Pay revision of URCs employees

UNSTARRED QUESTION NO-1901 by SHRI VEER SINGH

(b) if so, the details thereof;
(c) if not, the reasons therefor; and
(d) by when the pay of CRCs employees will be enhanced as per the Sixth CPC?

ANSWERED ON-29.08.2012 by MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI A.K. ANTONY)

(a) No, Sir.

(b) Does not arise.
(c) & (d): The Unit Run Canteen (URC) employees are getting paid as per the rules regulating the terms and conditions of the services of the civilian employees of the URCs, issued by Army Headquarters in April 2003. These rules were made as per the directions of Honโ€™ble Supreme Court of India dated 4th January 2001, in the case of Union of India Vs M. Aslam and others.
It has been held by the Honโ€™ble Supreme Court, in its order dated 28.4.2009, in the case of R.R. Pillai v/s Commanding Officer HQ SAC (U), that, employees of URC are not Government Servants. Hence, the benefits of Sixth Pay Commission are not applicable to them. However, the basic pay of URC employees was enhanced by 50% w.e.f. 1.2.2009 and by another 15% w.e.f. 1.12.2009.
