Appeal
for special fund for contributing to PM CARES fund/ CM Fund:
India
is on war against COVID 19. The pandemic COVID-19 is spreading its wings all
over the world. Central Government to
prevent spreading of virus in India has declared nationwide Lock Down for 21
days from 24 March 2020. The workers in organized sector have been asked to
work from home. Wherever it is not
possible to work from home they are given paid holiday. Out of the total workforce in India only 15
per cent are in organized sector. Workers in unorganised sector who constitute
major part of work force are on daily wages working as construction workers,
contract workers, hamalies and etc. Most
of them are not even having BPL card and mostly migrant workers from rural
side. When lock down was declared these workers started moving to their places.
The fear of spreading of vires was looming large. To prevent such a catastrophe the Government
is providing shelter and food to them by hiring Kalyan Mantaps. The Government also has to spend huge amount
to improve the health facilities and provide protection to health workers. To meet exigencies of such situations and to
provide relief to citizens the Government has set up Public Charitable Trust
under the name “Prime Minister’s Citizen
Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) Fund. Our Association has made initial contribution
of Rs.50,000/ on 30 March 2020 to this fund.
We wish to make further contribution to this fund as well as Karnataka
CM fund also. Therefore we appeal to all
members to contribute minimum one day Pension or Rs.1000/ whichever is
higher. You can send contribution in the
following manner.
Remittance can be
made by any of the Following methods:
Ø
By drawing Cheque/Draft in favour of “Karnataka IA& AD
Pensioners' Association”;
Ø

avail medical facility under CGHS for both indoor as well as outpatient
treatment on payment of CGHS contributions. Those pensioners/ family pensioners
residing in CGHS areas who do not opt to avail CGHS facility are not eligible

MACP in Promotional Hierarchy as
in the case of ACP Scheme – Hon’ble Supreme Court decides against Employees
demand of grant of Grade Pay on MACP at par with Promotional Post
MACP in
Promotional Hierarchy – In a landmark Judgement in favour of Government India,
Hon’ble Supreme Court set aside all the Orders of High Court which were in
favour of Employees side for grant of grade pay on MACP at par with grade pay
Promotional Post granted in the case of ACP. The Bottom line is Central
Government Employees would continue to be granted MACP to the next grade Pay /
Next level (post 7th CPC) irrespective grade pay / pay level pertaining to next
promotional post. The justification given by Hon’ble Supreme Court for
the dismissal of High Court Decisions is as follows:
“The ACP
Scheme which is now superseded by MACP Scheme is a matter of government policy.
Interference with the recommendations of the expert body like Pay Commission
and its recommendations for the MACP, would have serious impact on the public. The
recommendations of the Pay Commission for MACP Scheme has been accepted by the
Government and implemented. There is nothing to show that the Scheme is
arbitrary or unjust warranting interference. Without considering the advantages
in the MACP Scheme, the High Courts erred in interfering with the government’s
policy in accepting the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission by
simply placing reliance upon Raj Pal’s case. The impugned orders cannot be
sustained and are liable to be set aside”
