National Anomaly Committee Meeting – Is it to be held just for an agenda of four items?
NFIR has confirmed in its official website through a DoPT order(O.M.No.11/1/2015-JCA, dated 12.5.2015) that a meeting of National anomaly committee would be held on 29th of this month. It has been mentioned in the order that all the members of the Staff Side of National Anomaly Committee are being invited to attend this meeting.
National Council JCM functions as an organisation that raises its voice reiterating the demands of the forty lakh employees of the Central Government. It comprises representatives from all ministries/departments.
Normally, the anomaly committee meeting is being convened to discussion on rectifying the anomalies in the salary of the employees. Thus far, 5 meetings of the NAC have been held after the constitution of the sixth pay commission. Thanks to these meetings, many discrepancies in the salary scale have been successfully rectified. Particularly, grant of one increment in pre-revised pay scale on 1.1.2006 as a onetime measure in respect of all those employees whose next increment fell between 1.2.2006 to 30.6.2006 which was a significant resolution of the issue raised by the Staff Side. But, problems common to all the employees, created after the constitution of the Sixth pay commission still remain unresolved.
Demands considered justifiable:
1. There is no benefit after the introduction of ‘Grade pay structure’, on the other hand, discrepancies have appeared. The hierarchy system that was in vogue over years split into two segments – promotional hierarchy, grade pay hierarchy. Those who were promoted through MACP should get promotion on the basis of promotional hierarchy.
2. 5,000, 5,500, 6,500 were combined. For the highest figure 6,500, after calculating 1.86, it should be fixed as 12090 instead of 9300.
3. The recommendations of the Sixth pay commission came into effect from 1st January, 2006, but all the allowances were disbursed only from 1 September 2008.
4. The additional Dearness Allowance percentage should be calculated as the important base index factor of 115.12 instead of 115.76.
5. The Sixth pay commission says that the Grade Pay was given on the basis of calculation in which 40% was taken as the mark. But, in certain cases (PB-3, PB-4) had been violated. 50% should be the basis for all categories.
6. 6th CPC has recommended specific entry level pay for Direct Recruits (DRs). This has resulted in employees who were appointed in service prior to the DRs and got promoted earlier getting less pay as compared to their counterparts recruited directly and who joined after 01.01.2006.
7. Commutation of additional Pension or Revision of pension in respect of post 31.12.2005 retirees.
8. 15 Years Period fixed for Commutation is Arbitrary/unjustified. etc., etc.,
In a situation where discrepancies of this nature still remain unresolved, the announcement about the convening of the National Anomaly Committee meeting to discuss an agenda mentioning only four items has created confusion & questions in the minds of the Central Government employees.
The meeting is being convened after a gap of three years.
What is the fate of the demands that were discussed at the meeting held on 17 July 2012?
Will all the items in the agenda of previous meetings be discussed at this meeting?

dear NAC committee u r claing that the preponnent of increment to 01-012006 through amendment/order in respect of entral staff whose serive increment were due btetween 01-02-06 and 30-06-06 is a significant acchievement.taking into account they are the big loosers otherwise.. the staff whose SI due as on 01-01-06 retiring on 30-06-06 is getting one increment old rate from 01-012005 to 30-06-06 after 18 monthes whereas for those icrement due between feb06-june06 gets two increment old rate 01-01-06 and revised SI wef 01-07-06 that is 2005 june to 2007 july within 13 months In this regard i would like to remind the significant ommission of NAC./inabikity to represent effectively all these years of NAC held after 6th CPC with regards to those who have retired between 01-01-06 to 31-08-08 who were denied the MACPbenefits for having completed more than 34 years of service even as on 01-01-2006 .further it is also stated that there are people who have completed 30 years of service even as on 07-09-1999 retired after 01-01-06 were denied. now NAC is pointing out the allowances must be given wef 01-01-06 from the date of 6th CPC at the same time NAC has totally ignored the justifiable;e anomaly on grade pay.MACP being part of Pay which has to be given/aught to have been effect from 01-01-06 based on number of required service completed wef 01-01-06 onwards.to grant it.Govt intention to grant three promotion within 30 years got defeated.because of the grant of MACP from sept.2008 prospective date. when provison of Merger of DA removed in the sixth CPC all the association kept quite/not objected /valued when a benefit is removed. now every one says there is provision for DA merger after 50% in 5th CPC.
we cannot hide the reality that the NAC functioning/representing on valid issues. are very much lacking. i wish them all success in all their endeavors in getting the central staff/pensioners true justice Hoping that my views will be taken on proper spirit rather than criticism
