7th CPC Promotion Option Calculation

7th CPC Promotion Option Calculation

All the central government employees are in busy with calculating which Option is beneficial to them in order to get full benefit from 7th CPC Revised pay .
Actually there is no dilemma for CG employees those who didn’t get any Promotion/MACP from 1st January to 1st July 2016. There are some cases in this category that choosing Option to revise Pay from Date of Next Increment gives more benefit than opting 1.1.2016 to revise 7th CPC Pay .
The government servants those who got Promotion / MACP in the Period from 2nd January to 1st July are finding it difficult to decide which Option is correct and More beneficial to them. No body in the administrative Department ready to guide the right way to the Government servants since there is no clarity in 7th CPC in respect of Revising/Fixing pay on Promotion Date. But It was clearly illustrated in Sixth CPC.
Let us workout the Pay Fixation in different Options to revise pay in 7th CPC to understand which Option is Beneficial in Longer run.
Let us take an example,
Assume a government servant has been promoted to Next Grade to 2800 on any date between 2nd January 2016 to 1st July 2016. Let us take 1st march 2016 was his date of Promotion.
His existing pay as on 1.1.2016 = Band Pay of 9100 + Grade pay of 2400 = 11500

If He Choose Option -I to revise his Pay from 1.1.2016

1

If He Choose Option -II

a) Pay revision on Increment Date
7th-CPC-Option-Calculation - 2
b) Fixation for Option to revise Pay on Promotion Date need to be Clarified by Government
Since there is no Grade pay involved in 7th CPC, Adding Grade Pay difference on Promotion date is not applicable in 7th Pay Commission for this category.

Women May Get Maternity Leave for 26 Weeks

Women May Get Maternity Leave for 26 Weeks


Labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya may table the bill in Rajya Sabha today
Labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya may table the much-awaited amendment to Maternity Benefit Act, 1961bill in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday , paving way for 26 weeks of maternity leave to working women. Move is also aimed at providing 12 weeks of maternity leave to commissioning mothers and introducing an enabling provision of “work from home“ for nursing mothers. The changes proposed by the labour ministry have been recently approved by the Cabinet, a senior labour ministry official told ET.
Since these changes proposed to the Act are women friendly the ministry is hopeful that the amendment bill will sail through the Upper House. Following its passage in Rajya Sabha the bill will be tabled in Lok Sabha where the Modi government enjoys a majority.
“As per the proposed amendments, maternity leave for women working in both private and public sector will be enhanced to 26 weeks as against the existing 12 weeks,“ the official said, adding that the 26-week leave, however, will be not be available to those women employees who have two or more children.
According to the official, the amended Act will also propose 12 weeks of maternity leave to commissioning mothers who use surrogates to bear a child as well as to working women adopting a baby below the age of three months.“Additionally , the amended Act will have an enabling provision that would allow nursing moms to work from home even after 26 weeks of maternity leave, depending upon their job profile,“ the official added.
But, work-from-home option will be available where the nature of work assigned to the employee permits her to do so.The woman employee and her employer have to mutually agree on the duration of the `work from home' arrangement.
The “women-friendly“ steps also include making it must for firms with 50 employees to have creches individually or a few firms can set up a common facility within a prescribed distance.
The employer will have to allow four visits to the creche which will include the interval of rest allowed to women employees.
