OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:-Dharna Notice for 19th September, 2017 and 17th October, 2017 – Instructions under CCS (Conduct Rules), 1964 – Regarding.

It has been brought to the notice of the Government that Confederation of Central Government Employee and Workers has decided to observe dharna at district headquarters across the country on 19th September, 2017 followed by similar protest at all State capitals on 17th October, 2017. The proposed protests are in support of pay and service related demands.

2. The instructions issued by the Department of Personnel and Training prohibit the Government servants from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go slow, sit-down etc. or any action that abet any form of strike in violation of Rule 7 of the CCS [conduct] Rules. 1964. Besides, in accordance with the proviso to Rule 17(1) of the Fundamental Rules, pay and allowances is not admissible to an employee for his absence from duty without any authority. As to the concomitant rights of an Association after it is formed, they cannot be different from the rights which can be claimed by the individual members of which the Association is composed. It follows that the right to form an Association does not include any guaranteed right to strike. There is no statutory provision empowering the employees to go on strike. The Supreme Court has also ruled in several judgements that going on a strike is a grave misconduct under the Conduct Rules and that misconduct by the Government employees is required to be dealt with in accordance with the law. Any employee going on strike in any form including dharna would face the consequences which besides deduction of wages may also include appropriate disciplinary action. Attention of all employees of this Department is also drawn to this Department’s O.M. No. 33012/I/(s)/2008 –Estt.(B) dated 12.9.2008 on the subject for strict compliance.

3. All officers are requested that the above instructions may be brought to the notice of the employees working under their control. All officers are also requested not to sanction Casual Leave or other kind of leave to the officers and employees if applied for during the period of proposed dharna and ensure that the willing employees are allowed hindrance free entry into the office premises.

4. In case employees go on dharna all divisional heads are requested to forward a report indicating the number and details of employees who are absent from duty on the day of strike i.e. 19.09.2017 and 17.10.2017.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2016-17.

The undersigned is directed to convey the sanction of the President to the grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) equivalent to 30 days emoluments for the accounting year 2016-17 to the Central Government

employees in Group ‘C’ and all non-gazetted employees in Group B, who are not covered by any Productivity Linked Bonus Scheme. The calculation ceiling for payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders shall be monthly emoluments of Rs. 7000/-, as revised w.e.f 01/04/2014 vide OM No.7/4/2014-E.III(A), dated 29th August, 2016. The payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders will also be admissible to the eligible employees of Central Para Military Forces and Armed Forces. The orders will be deemed to be extended to the employees of Union Territory Administration which follow the Central Government pattern of emoluments and are not covered by any other bonus or ex-gratia scheme.

2. The benefit will be admissible subject to the following terms and conditions:-

This will, thereafter, be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling of monthly emoluments of Rs. 7000 (where actual average emoluments exceed Rs. 7000), Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) for thirty days would work out to Rs. 7000×30/30.4=Rs.6907.89 (rounded off to Rs.6908/-).

Brief of the meeting held today with Hon’ble Minister Shri Piyush Goyal

No.AIRF/24(C) 

Dated: September 21, 2017

The General Secretaries,

All Affiliated Unions,

Dear Comrades!

Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with Hon’ble MR

Today I met the Hon’ble Minister for Railways, Shri Piyush Goyal on his invitation.

The meeting was arranged by the DG(P), Railway Board, and both the federations were called. From AIRF, Working President AIRF, Com. N. Kanniah, and Asstt. General Secretary AIRF, Com. S.K. Tyagi, were present in the meeting as they were available.

Hon’ble MR appreciated AIRF as well as its leadership and also assured that he would put all his efforts for the betterment of the railwaymen, and for that he said that, he has started with improvement in medical facilities and would also like that Railway Schools and Colleges should also improved for better education of the wards of the railway employees.

I, on behalf of AIRF, handed him over a copy of our letter, particularly on safety, and shown our anguish about the shortage of materials and manpower. He said that, on 7th September, 2017, the first decision he had taken that shortage, particularly of the rails, he has given instructions to all the zonal railways that, in case there is shortage of rail in maintenance, that should be diverted from the Construction. Moreover, immediate steps should be taken to purchase the rail to the extent rail cannot be supplied by the SAIL.

On the issue of manpower, he said that, he would hold a meeting along with the CRB, DG(P) and the Staff Side and will definitely take a decision for the betterment of the Railways.

He further mentioned that, meeting with the federations has been delayed because of sickness of his mother and it was delayed by a day because yesterday we got approved 78 days’ PLB to railwaymen from the Union Cabinet, so I have to give some good news.

The meeting was concluded on a very happy note with the hope that mutual cooperation will continue.

This is for your information.

Comradely yours,
