Minimum wage and fitment formula for Central Government Employees

Minimum wage and fitment formula for Central Government Employees

“The fitment formula will work out to 2.86. If the entire minimum wage is recalculated based on actual retail prices as on July 2015 without applying average of 12 months and correct methodology the minimum wage would be Rs 26,000/ and fitment formula would be around 3.5 “.

Comrade,

The 7th CPC while calculating the minimum wage of Central Government Employees has arrived at Rs 18,000/- the 7th CPC has erred in prescribing provision to cover education, recreation, ceremonies, festivals and medical expenses has been moderated to 15 percent against the provision of 25% .

Supreme Court’s ruling in the Raptakos Brett Vs Workmen case of 1991 , the Hon’ble Supreme Court delivered a historic judgement and directed that children’s education, medical requirement, minimum recreation including festivals/ceremonies, provision for old age, marriage etc. should further constitute 25% of the minimum wage and be used as a guide in fixation of minimum wage.

The Hon’ble Minister of Labour & Employment Shri Bandaru Dattatreyaji in his press statement on 24-September-2016 has stated in Understanding Minimum Wages and Bonus article as follows.

“The norms recommended by the Indian Labour Conference, in 1957, fox fixing the minimum wages are:

(a) consumption units for one wage earner;

(b) minimum food requirements of 2700 calories per average Indian adult;

(c) clothing requirements of 72 yards per annum per family; (d) rent corresponding to the minimum area provided for under Government’s Industrial Housing Scheme; and

(e) fuel, lighting and other miscellaneous items of expenditure to constitute 20% of the total minimum wage.

In 1991, the Hon’ble Supreme Court delivered a historic judgement and directed that children’s education, medical requirement, minimum recreation including festivals/ceremonies, provision for old age, marriage etc. should further constitute 25% of the minimum wage and be used as a guide in fixation of minimum wage.”

If this provision is alone adopted should have been adopted by the 7th CPC, the minimum wage would have increased by more than 10% and worked out to Rs 20,000/-.

The fitment formula will work out to 2.86. If the entire minimum wage is recalculated based on actual retail prices as on July 2015 without applying average of 12 months and correct methodology the minimum wage would be Rs 26,000/ and fitment formula would be around 3.5 .

The minister statement should be applied by the Government in true spirits and the minimum wage and fitment formula should be enhanced accordingly.

Comradely yours
(P.S.Prasad)
General Secretary

    Respected Leaders,
    From the begining I have written so many times that the Min salary would be 20000 & Fitment formula is 2.86.But demanding min sal 26000 & fitment factor 3.7 is absurd & Govt cant fulfil it. So get ready start fight for min salary 20000 & MF 2.86 & Allowance as previOusly in 6 CPC with effect from 1st october & with arrear in october Salary.
    ANOTHER THING IS OUR FM JETLY IS A LAWER.HE IS NOT AN ECONOMIST.HE IS PLAYING WITH THE SENTIMENT OF CG EMPLOYEES.NOW IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DEMAND TO SACK HIM FROM FM POST.OTHRWISE WE SHALL NOT GET THE JUSTICE. AGAIN WE SHOULD FIGHT FOR THE DA FORMULA. BASE AICPN SHOULD BE 260.4 INSTEAD OF 261.4.OTHERWISE WE SHALL GET LESS DA THAN 6 CPC. AS PER 6 CPC DA WILL BE 7PERCENT WHERE AS 2PERCENT IN 7 CPC WHICH IS LESSER THAN 6 CPC.
    SO PLEASE BE UNITED & TALK WITH OUR PM MODIJI &TELLOUR GENUINE DEMAND & TO CHANGE THE FM JETLY IMMEDIATELY.MR.SUBRAMANYAM SWAMY WILL BE THE BETTER FM FOR OUR COUNTRY.

    LET US FIGHT FOR OUR DUE IN THE OCTOBER SALARY WITH ARREAR.

    THANKING YOU
    WITH REGARDS
    KIRTAN BEHERA
