Inclusion of Secretary General in the pay commission meeting



 Dear Members,

                          I am attaching scanned copy of letter received from one Confederation affiliated to INTUC, which included me as a member for bargaining in the VII CPC.   I am not aware how they included me  with them.   

                          I seek valuable opinion/suggestion of  our members  whether we have to associate with them for  Pay commission benefit.  Actually we are not politically affiliated.

                          I will act  based on your  suggestion only


M.Harisuthan
Secretary General.

Wife of Government Employee has the right to know the salary of Husband under RTI – Applicable to Husband of Government Employee also – Central Information Commission (CIC)

Wives of government servants have a “right” to know salary particulars of their husbands and these details should also be made public by their offices as mandated under suo-moto disclosure clause of the RTI Act, the Central information Commission has held.
Information Commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu said every spouse has a right to information about the salary particulars of the other especially for the purpose of maintenance.
“More so, wife has a right to know the salary particulars of the husband, who is an employee of the public authority,” he said.
The commissioner further said that the details about a government employee’s salary is no third party information and these have to be voluntarily disclosed under Section 4(1)(b)(x) of the RTI Act.
He said the salary paid to the public authority is sourced from the tax paid by the people in general and it has to be disclosed mandatorily under the RTI section.
“The information about the salary of employee or an officer of the same public authority cannot be considered as a third party information… Public authorities cannot reject such RTI applications about salary under the pretext of the third party information,” he held.
Acharyulu warned the Home Department of Delhi government that such denial of information will be wrongful and could incur penalty. The warning was in context of an application filed by Jyoti Seherawat seeking salary slip of her husband who is employed at the Home (General) department.
The information was denied as her husband gave in written to the department that such an information should not be provided to anyone.

Expected DA from Jan 2014 - 11%

The one more and another additional Dearness allowance to Central Government employees and Pensioners from Jan 2014 will be announced in the middle of March 2014.
 
This is too early and predict the enhancement in percentage of Dearness allowance with effect from January 2014. The prediction and announcement of this hike make us cool, that the additional DA will jump to 101% and another word, an additional DA would be 11%.
 
 But, still we have to wait for one more month, that the magic number of AICPIN would be increased by 3% and more..! From the existing level of the AICPIN is now 243, if it becomes 246 in end of December 2013, out prediction will be right…or otherwise certainly we would cross century in total Dearness allowance…
 
 The table describes the prediction of additional DA from Jan 2014…
