The Government has been receiving representations from trade unions for removal of all ceilings under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. It is also one of the demands made by them during the country-wide General Strike held in February, 2013 and September, 2015. As the last revision in these two ceilings were made in the year 2007 and was made effective from the 1st April, 2006, it was decided by the Government to make appropriate amendments to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965.

These changes in the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 will benefit thousands of work force.

7th CPC: Central government employees' salary hikes not before June?

7th CPC: Central government employees' salary hikes not before June?

New Delhi: Government is likely to accept the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and offer salary hikes to Central Government Employees not before June  2016.

 

Though, the matter may become clearer when Finance Ministry announces the details on implementation, and that is expected to happen before Budget 2016-17 in February.

 

Then there are Assembly elections expected in Pondicherry, Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala. So the implementation of salary hike is also expected only when the State Assembly elections are over by June/July.

 

Also, as per reports, seven states: UP, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Tripura and Sikkim, have requested the Centre to delay implementation of salary hikes due to the financial burden 7th CPC recommendations are likely to cast on the state exchequer.

Seventh Pay Commission: Arrears To Be Paid In One Instalment

Seventh Pay Commission: Arrears To Be Paid In One Instalment

New Delhi: The central government employees and pensioners will get arrears of the Seventh Pay Commission in one instalment, besides their pay hike.

The Implementation Cell in Finance ministry will submit a report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to pay the arrears of the Seventh Pay Commission in one instalment.

According to sources, the Implementation Cell in Finance ministry will submit a report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on arrears payment of the Seventh Pay Commission in a single instalment along with the reviews of whole pay commission report.

The entire concept of ‘arrears of pay’ has shot into the lime light as a result of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission that has been released in November, proposed a 23.55% increase in pay, allowances and pension for 4.8 million central government employees and 5.5 million pensioners, which have resulted in a pay hike of central government employees with a retrospective effect from January 1, 2016.

According to reports,The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are expected to add Rs 73,650 crore or 0.65 percent of the GDP in the first year, to the government’s expenditure. In line with the recommendations of the Commission, the government will pay hike salaries as well as pensions.

Also, the recommendations of the Commission come into effect from 1 January, 2016. They will be implemented from 1 April, 2016. Hence, arrears for the three months of January to March 2016 will also have to be paid. This is likely to amount to Rs 18,412.5 crore (Rs 73,650 divided by four). This pushes up the total extra expenditure due to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission to Rs 92,062.5 crore (Rs 73,650 crore plus Rs 18,412.5 crore).

Over and above this, the Railways has requested the government to fund the extra money it would have to spend in order to meet the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission. This is estimated to be Rs 28,450 crore.

The Pay Commission in its reports expected the Railways to meet this extra expenditure out of its own revenues. But with the revenues of the Railways not growing as fast as they were expected to, this may not happen now.

Further, arrears of the first three months of 2016 will also have to be paid by the Railways and this will push the total extra expenditure of the Railways to be funded by the government to Rs 35,562.5 crore (Rs 28,450 crore plus Rs 28,450 crore divided by four).

Hence, the total extra expenditure of the government due to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission will come to Rs 1,27,625 crore (Rs 92,062.5 crore plus Rs 35,562.5 crore).

But, along with this big bonanza, there is also a question that is dwelling in the minds of central government employees. The question arises that how much Income tax is payable on the salary and arrears and is there any relief available?

The tax on hike pay and arrears will be deducted in the next fiscal and sources confirmed that there is no relief available in taxation on pay hikes and arrears as payment will be made in the same fiscal.

According to finance ministry sources, the central government employees will be paid their higher pay and arrears in the fiscal 2016 and arrears that will be paid in a single instalment. The taxation, accordingly will be implemented at the time of payment.

The rate of income tax will be implemented according to the next budget 2016-17.

Raise I-T exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh: Unions

Raise I-T exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh: Unions

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI) Trade unions today asked the government to increase the income tax exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh and the minimum wage to Rs 18,000 besides raising the minimum monthly pension to Rs 3,000 for all.

They also sought a special package for victims of the recent Tamil Nadu floods.

These demands were raised under a 15-point charter submitted by 11 central trade unions to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley during pre-Budget consultations held here. The Union Budget for the next financial year, 2016-17, is slated to be presented in Parliament in February end. It will take effect from April 1.

"We have demanded a minimum wage of Rs 18,000 per month which is higher than our earlier demand of Rs 15,000," Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh Zonal Organisation Secretary Pawan Kumar said after the meeting.

The 7th Pay Commission has recommended Rs 18,000 as minimum monthly wage for central government workers and it should be the benchmark, he said.

All Indian Trade Union Congress Secretary DL Sachdev said: "We have also demanded Rs 3,000 minimum monthly pension for all and asked for a special package for flood ravaged Tamil Nadu to provide relief to workers as well as industry in the next Budget." 

Sachdev said that in view of price rise "we have also demanded from the government to increase the income tax exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh per annum".

The union have also asked that fringe benefits like housing, medical and educational facilities and running allowances in railways should be exempted from Income Tax.

Unions also demanded that PSUs should be strengthened and expanded and the disinvestment of government shares in profit making PSUs should be stopped.

Besides, they said that the budgetary support should be provided for revival of potentially viable sick PSUs.

On the price rise, the charter said: "Take effective measures to arrest the spiralling price rise especially of food and essential items of daily use. Ban speculative forward trading in essential commodities, check on hoarding and universalise and strengthen Public Distribution System." 

Expressing concerns over steel and aluminium sectors, the unions said: "Relentless and increasing flow of import of industrial commodities including capital goods must be contained and regulated to prevent dumping and also to protect and promote domestic industries and prevent loss of employment." 

It also said that "FDI should not be allowed in crucial sectors like defence production, Railways, financial sector, retail trade and other strategic sectors. In other areas, terms and conditions for FDI should be made public.
