Casual Labourers with temporary status-clarification regarding
contribution to GPF and Pension under the old pension scheme

Department of Personnel and Training

February 26th, 2016
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Casual Labourers with temporary status-clarification regarding
contribution to GPF and Pension under the old pension scheme.
Undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM No. 51016/2/90-Estt
(C) dated the 10th September, 1993 vide which a scheme for grant of temporary
status to the casual employees was framed. The scheme applied to those casual
labourers who were in employment on the date of the issue of the OM and had
rendered one year of continued service in Central Government offices, which
meant that they must have been engaged for a period of at least 240 days (206
days in the case of offices observing 5 days week). The scheme did not apply to
Departments of Telecom & Posts and Ministry of Railways.
2. As per the scheme, after rendering three years’ continuous service after
conferment of temporary status, the casual labourers were to be treated at par with
temporary Group ‘D’ employees for the purpose of contribution to the General
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 11
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
Provident Fund. Further, after their regularisation, 50% of the service rendered
under temporary status would be counted for the purpose of retirement benefits.
3. As per para 8 of the scheme, two out of every three vacancies in Group ‘D’
cadres in respective offices where the casual labourers have been working would
be filled up as per extant recruitment rules and in accordance with the instructions
issued by Department of Personnel and Training from amongst casual workers
with temporary status. However, regular Group “D’ staff rendered surplus for any
reason will have prior claim for absorption against existing/future vacancies. In
case of illiterate casual labourers or those who fail to fulfill the minimum
qualification prescribed for post, regularisation will be considered only against
those posts in respect of which literacy or lack of minimum qualification will not
be a requisite qualification. They would be allowed age relaxation equivalent to
the period for which they have worked continuously as casual labourer.
4. Vide the O.M. No.49014/1/2004 -Estt (C) dated the 26th April, 2004, the above
scheme was reviewed in the light of introduction of New Pension Scheme in
respect of persons appointed to the Central • Government service on or ‘after
1.1.2004 as under:
(i) As the new pension scheme is based on defined contributions, the length of
qualifying service for the purpose of retirement benefits has lost its relevance, no
credit of casual service, as specified in para 5 (v), shall be available to the casual
labourers on their regularisation against Group ‘D’ posts on or after 1.1.2004.
(ii) As there is no provision of General Provident Fund in the new pension
scheme, it will not serve any useful purpose to continue deductions towards GPF
from the existing casual employees, in terms of para 5 (vi) of the scheme for grant
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 12
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
of temporary status. It is, therefore, requested that no further deduction towards
General Provident Fund shall be effected from the casual labourers w. e. f.
1.1.2004 onwards and the amount lying in their General Provident Fund accounts,
including deductions made after 1.1.2004, shall be paid to them.
2. The existing guidelines contained in this Department’s OM No. 49014/2/86-
Estg C) dated 7.6.88 may continue to be followed in the matter of engagement of
casual workers in the Central Government Offices.
5. The OM dated 26th April, 2004 has been quashed by various benches of
CAT/High Courts who have decided that the scheme could not be modified
retrospectively. The SLPs filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court have been
dismissed by the Apex Court in UOI & Ors v Rameshwar Singh, CC 1829/2014,
UOI & Ors v Ramsaran & Ors, SLP (C) No. 25360-25362 of 2008, SLP
17358/2008, SLP 25360-62/09, Union of India etc v Ajay Kumar & Ors, SLP
No.19673-19678/2009.
6. The position has been reviewed in the light of the Court judgements in
consultation with the Department of Expenditure. It has now been decided that
the casual labourers who had been granted temporary status under the scheme,
and have completed 3 years of continuous service after that, are entitled to
contribute to the General Provident Fund.
7. 50% of the service rendered under temporary status would be counted for the
purpose of retirement benefits in respect of those casual labourers who have been
regularised in terms of para 8 of the OM dated 10.09. 1993.
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 13
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
8. It is emphasised that the benefit of temporary status is available only to those
casual labourers who were in employment on the date of the issue of the OM
dated 10th September, 1993 and were otherwise eligible for it. No grant of
temporary status is permissible after that date. The employees erroneously
granted temporary status between 10.09.1993 and the date of Hon’ble Supreme
Court judgement in Union Of India And Anr vs Mohan Pal, 2002 (3) SCR 613,
delivered on 29 April, 2002, will however be deemed to have been covered under
the scheme of 10.09.93.
9. Ministries/Departments are also requested to identify cases where temporary
status has been granted wrongly to those not covered under the OM dated
10.09.1993 and fix responsibility for the same.

Fulfillment of procedural requirements.
This Department is in receipt of a number of references regarding the procedural
difficulties faced by the Government employees in application and settlement of
the LTC claims. Sometimes, the Government servants claim that failure to follow

unduly long time, particularly when the employee and the sanctioning authorities
are located at different stations.
2. To remove these bottlenecks, it has been decided to simplify the procedure of
application and make the procedure of processing of LTC claims time bound. The
following time-limits shall be followed while processing the LTC

Instructions/Guidelines relating to filling up the Integrity Column
of Annual Performance Assessment Reports-regarding
No.21011/27/2015-Estt. (A-II)

Office Memorandum
Subject: Instructions/Guidelines relating to filling up the Integrity Column
of Annual Performance Assessment Reports-regarding.
The undersigned is directed to refer the existing instructions/ guidelines of this
Department on filling up the column relating to integrity in ACRs (now APARs).
It has been brought to the notice that many a time Reporting Officers do not make
clear and categorical mention about the integrity of the officer reported upon.
Further, it has also been seen that in case of doubt of integrity of the officer
reported upon, the procedures prescribed for filling up the integrity column in
APARs are not being followed appropriately.
2. Now, it has been decided to reiterate the followings instructions/guidelines
contained in para 5.2 of this Department OM No. 51/5/72-Ests. (A) dated 20th
May, 1972 on procedures prescribed for filling up the column relating to integrity
in APARs:
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 27
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
(a) Supervisory officers should maintain a confidential diary in which instances
which create suspicion about the integrity of a subordinate should be noted from
time to time and action to verify the truth of such suspicions should be taken
expeditiously by making confidential enquiries departmentally or by referring the
matter to the Special Police Establishment. At the time of recording the annual
confidential report, this diary should be consulted and the material in it utilised
for filling the column about integrity. If the column is not filled on account of the
unconfirmed nature of the suspicions, further action should be taken in
accordance with the following sub¬paragraphs.
(b) The column pertaining to integrity in the character roll should be left blank
and a separate secret note about the doubts and suspicions regarding the officer’s
integrity should be recorded simultaneously and followed up.
(c) A copy of the secret note should be sent together with the character roll to the
next superior officers who should ensure that the follow-up action is taken with
due expedition.
(d) If, as a result of the follow-up action, an officer is exonerated, his integrity
should be certified and an entry made in the character roll. If suspicions regarding
his integrity are confirmed, this fact can also be recorded and duly communicated
to the officer concerned.
(e) There are occasions when a reporting officer cannot in fairness to himself and
to the officer reported upon, either certify integrity or make an adverse entry, or
even be in possession of any information which would enable him to make a
secret report to the Head of the Deptt. Such instances can occur when an officer
is serving in a remote station and the reporting officer has not had occasion to

GOVTEMPDIARY
watch his work closely or when an officer has worked under the reporting officer
only for a brief period or has been on long leave, etc. In all such cases, the
reporting officer should make an entry in the integrity column to the effect that
he has not watched the officer’s work for sufficient time to be able to make any
definite remark or that he has heard nothing against the officer’s integrity as the
case may be. This would be a factual statement to which there can be no objection.
But it is necessary that a superior officer should make every effort to form a
definite judgment about the integrity of those working under him, as early as
possible, so that he may be able to make a positive statement.
(f) There may be cases in which after a secret report/note has been recorded
expressing suspicion about an officer’s integrity, the inquiries that follow do not
disclose sufficient material to remove the suspicion or to confirm it. In such a
case the officer’s conduct should be watched for a further period, and, in the
meantime, he should, as far as practicable, be kept away from positions in which
there are opportunities for indulging in corrupt practices.
3. It is further conveyed that the remarks against the integrity column of APARs
of the officer reported upon shall be made by the Reporting Officer in one of three
options mentioned below:
(a) Beyond doubt.
(b) Since the integrity of the officer is doubtful, a secret note is attached.
(c) Not watched the officer’s work for sufficient time to form a definite judgement
but nothing adverse has been reported to me about the officer.

Minutes of the Meeting of Joint Secretary (IC) with the Members
of the Staff-Side of the Standing Committee (National Council-
JCM) held on 19.02.2016
A Meeting was held under the chairmanship of Joint Secretary (Implementation
Cell), Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, with the Members of the
StaffSide of the Standing Committee (National Council-JCM) on 19.2.2016 to
discuss the issues raised by the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) {Joint
Consultative Machinery (JCM)} in their letter No. NJC/2015/7th CPC dt.
10.12.2015, addressed to the Cabinet Secretary, regarding their Charter of
Demands on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission. The
Secretary, Staff-Side of the Standing Committee (National Council- JCM), who
is the convener of the NJCA, along with other office bearers attended the meeting.
The list of the participants from the Staff-Side is attached at Annexure.
2. Welcoming the members of the Staff-Side, JS(IC) mentioned that the meeting
has been convened to enable the Staff-Side to bring out their concerns on the
recommendations of the 7th CPC in the light of the Charter of Demands made by
them in the aforesaid letter of NJCA so that same could be examined in the
Implementation Cell and submitted for consideration of the Empowered
Committee of Secretaries. He informed the office bearers that before arriving at
a decision, the ECoS would also hold separate discussions with the Staff Side.
2. Commencing the discussions from the Side of the Members of the Staff-Side,
Secretary, Staff-Side, Standing Committee (National Council-JCM), explained
that they have already placed their Charter of Demands as per the letter of NJCA
dated 10.12.2015. He mentioned that the reasons based on which these demands
have been made have also been explained therein. He, however, highlighted that
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 39
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
the Staff-Side is not at all happy with the recommendations of the 7th CPC and,
in fact, no section of the employees is satisfied, as the Commission has
recommended a minimal pay increase as compared to the previous Pay
Commissions. He mentioned that the Staff-Side does not agree with the minimum
pay of Rs. 18000 and the reason as to why the methodology adopted by the 7th
CPC to arrive at this figure is not correct has been explained in their letter dated
10.12.2015. He stated that Staff-Side demands enhancement of the minimum pay
to Rs. 26000 and the reasons in support of this have been given in their aforesaid
letter. He further stated that an amicable and mutually negotiated settlement of
these demands is necessary as non-acceptance would further cause resentment in
the employees. He informed that Staff-Side has already made their stand clear to
go on strike from 11th April, 2016 if their demands are not considered and no
amicable settlement happens.
3. Thereafter, the other members of the Staff-Side also expressed their arguments
for acceptance of these demands and all of them emphasised that the minimum
pay needs to be revised. Consequently, the fitment multiple of 2.57 would also
need commensurate change. The leader of the Staff-Side explained that the office
bearers who were present in the meeting represent various sections of Central
Government employees including railways, defence civilians, postal employees
etc., the number of which is around Rs. 32 lakhs.
4. The Staff-Side brought out their concerns on all the 26 demands included in
the Charter of Demands and all the points brought out by them in the letter of the
NJCA dt. 10.12.2015 were reiterated. However, following issues in support of
their demands were highlighted :-
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 40
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
(i) Minimum Pay needs to be revised to Rs. 26000 p.m. and the minimum pay of
Rs. 18000 p.m. as recommended by 7th CPC is not acceptable. This would require
upward revision in the fitment multiple of 2.57 and change in the Pay Matrix. It
was argued that if the 10% of the pay for NPS contribution and the recommended
increase in the CGEIS contribution are taken into account, there would be a drop
in the take-home salary of the employees at the minimum pay of Rs.18000.
(ii) Central Government employees need to be excluded from the National
Pension Scheme (NPS), which has been a long pending demand of the StaffSide.
The Staff-Side stated that the Pension Fund which has been created under NPS to
generate annuity for employees, would not ensure reasonable pension. Rather it
is quite likely that it may generate negative returns because of the dismal
performance of the financial market to which the fund is
invested, leaving the employees without any reasonable social security benefit.
(iii) The 7th CPC has recommended abolition of 52 allowances without properly
appreciating the justification of these allowances. The example of break-down
allowance in case of Railway employees was given, stating that this allowances
is given so that the concerned employees take up the necessary follow up action
in the case of breakdown on an urgent basis and therefore its withdrawal is not
justified in operational interests of Railways.
(iv) The withdrawal of advances, especially LTC, TA, Medical, National
Calamity Advance, was not justified. It was argued that these advances are
recovered from the employees and, therefore, the same should be retained. (v) In
regard to enhancement of contribution under Group Insurance Scheme, it was
argued that increase in the contribution from the employees was not justified and
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 41
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
if the same is to be raised, the Government should bear the
insurance premium.
(vi) The post of LDC should be upgraded to UDC and as part of delayering, Grade
Pays of Rs. 1900, Rs. 2400 and Rs. 4600 should be abolished and merged with
the next higher Grades.
(vii) The rate of increment needs to be raised from 3% to 5% because pay is
revised in the Central Government after 10 years. It was mentioned that in the
PSUs the pay is revised after 5 years and the rate of increment is also higher.
(viii) Two increments in the feeder post may be granted as promotion benefit.
(ix) Fixed medical allowance for pensioners who are not covered by CGHS and
REHS needs to be increased from Rs. 500 p.m. to Rs. 2000 p.m.
(x) The recommendation regarding grant of only 80% of salary for the second
year of Child Care Leave need not be accepted and the existing provisions may
be retained
(xi) It was also demanded that though the D/o Expenditure has sought the
comments of the Ministries/Department on the issues pertaining to them after
consulting the Staff Associations, administrative Departments are not inviting the
Staff associations for discussions.
5. After detailed explanation by the Staff-Side on all the demands included in the
Charter of Demands, JS(IC), while concluding the discussions, assured the Staff-
Side that the concerns and demands made by them would be placed before the
Empowered Committee of Secretaries for consideration after examining the same
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 42
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
in the light of the recommendations of the Commission. He also mentioned that
in cases where the comments of the administrative Ministries/ Departments
would be necessary, e.g., the case of break-down allowance pertaining to Ministry
of Railways, the same would be considered before the issues are placed before
the E-CoS. As regards the issue raised that the administrative Departments are
not inviting staff associations for discussions, JS(IC) mentioned that the
Departments have to formulate the views keeping in view the representations
made by the Staff Associations.
6. Thereafter, the meeting ended with thanks to the chair.

Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 89
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
1. Sixth Pay Commission recommended for “Modified Parity” between Pre-2006
& post- 2006 Pensioners. Its Recommendations were accepted by the Cabinet
vide Resolution dated 29-8-08 cited above, which inter-alia provided that “The
fixation (of Pension) ………. will be subject to the provision that the revised
pension, in no case, shall be lower than 50% of the sum of the minimum of the
pay in the pay band and the grade pay thereon corresponding to the pre-revised
pay scale from which the pensioner had retired.” DOP&PW issued the orders
thereon vide OM dated 1-9-08.
2. Later on, DOP&PW made changes in the above said orders (vide Para 5 of OM
dated 11- 2-09 cited above) & inter-alia laid down the condition that “benefit of
up-gradation of posts subsequent to their retirement would not be admissible to
the pre-2006 pensioners in this regard.”
3. The above said condition changed the very nature and content of the decision
of the Cabinet notified vide Gazette Notification dated 29-8-2008 as the said
Resolution did not provide for it.
4. DOP&PW’s OM dated 11-2-09 has since been quashed by the CAT New Delhi
vide OA 655/2010 directed for fixation of Pension as per Resolution dated 29-8-
2008.
4. All SLPs of the Government in this regard, against the judgements of the CAT
and High Courts, had been conclusively been rejected by the Apex Court vide its
judgement dated 17- 3-15.
5. a) DOP&PW vide OM dated 28-1-2013 ordered for Revision of Pension of
Pre-2006 Pensioners to 50% of minimum of the Pay in the Pay Band plus Grade

Pay of the Corresponding to Pre-revised scale w.e.f. 24-9-2012 whereas the
decision of the Cabinet on 24-9-2012.
b) This order was modified and implemented w.e.f. 1-1-2006 vide DOP&PW OM
dated 30- 7-15 – as per Orders of the Supreme Court on 17-3-2015.
6. The order dated 30-7-15 only partially implemented the orders of the Courts
and the orders are yet to be issued in respect of revision of Pension as per pay
scales of merged/upgraded posts.
7. DOP&PW OM No. 38/77-A/09- P&PW(A) Pt. of 5.3.2015 (para 2) says “Hon’
CAT/PB in orders dt. 1.11.2011 directed that the past pensioners may be granted
w.e.f. 1.1.2006 C to revise pension of pre 2006 Civilian Pensioners with ref. to
Fitment Table for the Post, as adopted for pay fixation of serving employees as
on 1.1.2006.”
8. Delhi High Court in W.P.(C) 8012/2013 had held that “policy decision of
the Government in the OM dated September 01, 2008 to fix pension for all
category of pensioners did not classify post of pre January 01, 2006 retirees and
all were entitled to pension as per a common formula”
9. All the above said judgements have been conclusively upheld by the Supreme
Court.
10. It is, therefore, requested that Pre-2006 Pensioners be given the benefit of
upgraded Pay Band and Grade Pay of the post from which they retired so that,
minimum pension be not lower than 50% of the pay in the revised pay band plus
the grade pay corresponding to the of the post from which the pensioner retired

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Licence Fee to be recovered from the allottee of the Government
accommodation, who own house(s) at the place of his duties – Reg.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Directorate’s OM No. 12035/11/99-
Pol.II, dated 24.7.2003 (copy enclosed) on the above mentioned subject and to
say that as per the provisions of SR – 317-B-3(2) of the Allotment of Government
Residences (General Pool in Delhi) Rules, 1963, an allottee, owning a house at
the time of allotment either in his own name or in the name of any members of
his family at the place of posting or in an adjoining municipality, shall notify the
fact to the Directorate of Estates within a period of one month from the date of
the house is let out. As per the provisions of SR-317-B-3(3) ibid, when after a
Govt. accommodation has been allotted, the allottee or any member of his family

shall notify the fact to the Directorate of Estates within a period of one month

2. However, it is noticed from the records received from concerned administrative
divisions of Ministries/Departments that declaration of house owning is received
only at the time of application for allotment of accommodation, whereas, the
same under the provisions SR-317-B-3(3) received is very negligible as
compared to allotment made. In order to streamline the already laid down
procedure, it is requested that the administrative authority of the concerned
Ministries/Departments, etc. to ensure that the provisions Sr-317-B-3(2) as well
as 3(3) are followed strictly. In this regard, it is pertinent to mention here that
from 1.3.2015 onwards, concerned Ministries/Departments of the applicant for
GPRA are advised to ensure that the particulars/details furnished by the applicant
in the online DE-2 Form and the Acceptance Form are true and correct. It is thus
requested now that the administrative authority of the concerned
Ministries/Departments should ensure that the entries made by the applicant in
DE-2 Form as well as the Acceptance Form with regard to owning of house, at
the time of forwarding the same to this Directorate is as per the latest Immovable
Property Return (IPR) filed by the applicant.
3. Further, they should also instruct all allottees in their Ministry/Department to
intimate the Directorate of Estates regarding rental income, if any, from the house
owned at the time of allotment/acquired after the allotment of Govt.
accommodation either in his own name or in the name of any members of his
family at the place of posting or in an adjoining municipality, and whenever any
change in rental income, which affect the rate of prescribed licence fee as per OM
No. 12035/11/99-Pol.II, dated 24.7.2003, so as to levy the prescribed rate of
licence fee in this regard, to avoid any loss to Govt. exchequer. In case the details
of rental income furnished by any allottee is found false at any later stage, the
licence fee of the particular accommodation will be enhanced to the maximum as
