SADHU SINGH

Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:-

(a) whether the disbursement of Central Government Pension to many beneficiaries have been stopped due to non-linking of same with the Aadhaar number and if so, the details thereof, State/UT-wise including Punjab; 

(b) whether the Government proposes to exempt beneficiary patients suffering from leprosy or any other grave disease and hence unable to provide their biometric details and if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor; 

(c) the other steps taken by the Government to facilitate such beneficiaries patients; and

(d) whether the Government is considering some alternative option for such beneficiary patients and if so, the details thereof and the steps taken by the Government in this regard?

ANSWER

The Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance 

(a) to (d): The Government has not issued any instructions for stopping disbursement of pension to Central Government pensioner due to non-linking of the pension account with the Aadhaar number.

Instructions have been issued by the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP&PW) from time to time that in view of the difficulty faced by old and infirm pensioners, banks should make concrete effort to provide the facility of obtaining life certificate from the premises/ residence of such pensioners. The instructions also provide that in case of sick and infirm pensioners, personal appearance may be exempted if a life certificate in the prescribed form signed by some specified authorities is produced on the behalf of Pensioners.

Further, all Pension Disbursing Banks have also been advised by DoP&PW that where the finger prints of a pensioner are not accepted by the system, the alternate mechanism of biometric, i.e. Iris scanning, may be used in such case. In case, however, it is not possible to have Digital Life Certificate either through finger prints or through Iris scanning, the physical life certificate submitted by the pensioner may be accepted to avoid any harassment to the pensioner. In no case a pensioner should be returned without accepting his life certificate on account of non-acceptance of his biometric by the system.

Postal department cannot take you for ride for lost, missing parcels

Has your parcel been lost by the India Post? If yes, you are not the only one. But the question to ask is whether you have been compensated for it. No? Here’s good news for you. The postal department can no longer throw the rule book at you and wash its hands off its responsibility of successfully delivering your parcel. According to a recent consumer court ruling, India Post is liable to compensate a customer for the lost parcel, the value of its contents besides payment towards causing mental harassment and legal charges incurred.
The court, in its ruling, also said the responsibility of a government unit towards the public it serves is double that of its private counterpart. The case of lost parcel Shripal Shah, a city-based businessman dealing in organic food and natural products, had sent three parcels via post to Islampur village in West Bengal in July 2015. The parcels contained 21 kg of handspun yarn of non-violent silk with natural dye and were being sent for weaving. For each parcel, Shah paid delivery charge of Rs 268 at the department’s city head office in Navrangpura.

 However, while two parcels were delivered successfully, one went missing. It weighed 7.29 kg and was worth Rs 28,700. Shah said he kept checking the status of the delivery online. “The system showed that the parcel had reached Kolkata. But there was no progress after that. I made several complaints in writing to the head office and even called them up to take stock of the situation.
However, every time I was told that inquiry was on,” he said. Finally, after losing all hope, he approached the Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum (CDRF), Ahmedabad Additional, on October 6, 2016. He claimed Rs 28,700 with 18% interest and Rs 10,000 each for legal cost and mental harassment.
How he won the case 

 
During hearing of the case, the defence advocate said the postal department was willing to refund delivery charge collected for the missing parcel, but argued that they would not pay for its content as they were not aware of what was inside. He added that the consumer should have got the parcel insured. However, the complainant’s advocate, Darshak Trivedi, countered saying that the office had not asked about the item or its cost while weighing it.
He further argued that once payment had been made, it was the responsibility of the post office to ensure the parcel reached its destination. He added that instead of asking the consumer, the postal department should have taken insurance if they were unsure of delivery of the parcel or feared it would be stolen. When the defence cited section 6 of the Indian Postal Act and argued that neither the post office nor its officer was responsible in case of an error or theft during the process of delivery by post, the prosecution pointed out that Act also includes a section where the department would be held responsible if there was deficiency in services or scope for fraudulence.
To support his argument, prosecution lawyer Trivedi also presented the National Commission judgment of 2016 before the court wherein the commission ordered the postal department to pay up the cost of a lost parcel with 9% interest along with Rs 50,000 for mental harassment The defence advocate refuted charges of deficiency in service and said that the department was ready to refund the amount collected for delivery of the parcel.
The order 

 
The CDRF, Ahmedabad Additional, ordered the post office to pay Rs 28,700 with 9% interest from July 17, 2015 till date it is paid, Rs 3,000 for mental harassment and Rs 2,000 for legal cost. The order came on December 30, 2017. Putting aside the department’s argument that the customer had chosen it as it was cheaper, the court observed that post office is a government organisation and its responsibility double towards the customer.
Trivedi said, “It is the moral responsibility of the postal department to see that the parcel reaches the given address within the given time frame. It was within India and should have been delivered. Showing a few sections of the Act, they can’t get away from their responsibility. It was wrong on their part to offer only the cost of the parcel.”
‘Much delighted’

 
Expressing satisfaction at getting justice, Shah said, “I am happy with the judgment. It takes a long time for a relationship to develop, but such deficiency affects business and relationships with customers immediately.” Acompetent authority from Navrangpura post office stated, “The postal department will take a suitable decision as it deems fit.”

7th Pay Commission: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Failed to Keep His Promise on Minimum Pay Hike

New Delhi, January 6: Almost 19 months have passed and the matter of minimum pay hike under 7th Pay Commission is still in pipeline. In contrary to demands of the central government employees to increase the minimum pay hike from Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000 a month, the Pay Commission headed by Justice AK Mathur and his committee had recommended the hike for Rs 21,000 only.

After the recommendation under the 7th Pay Commission was made to increase the basic salary of the government employees working in various departments of the central government, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley promised them the increment.

After so many ups and downs in the matter, it seems like Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has failed badly to keep his promise to the employees.

After promising Central Government employees union, it seems that the government is not serious about keeping upto their words. Which is quite visible by the changing decision of the government.

Earlier, the National Anomaly Committee was given the responsibility to review the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission and now the news has come that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has planned to form a new high-level committee to recognise the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission.

As 19 months have passed and now the government has not taken any firm decision on the recommendation of the 7th CPC for minimum salary hike.

Also, with the news out regarding the formation of new high-level committee depicts the failure of the government to take a decision on the matter. It also seems that the topic of a minimum wage is being dragged to trash day-by-day.

With the delay in the decision, central government employees are turning furious on the government’s ability to increase the salaries. It is very disappointing to see that the Ministers of the country are unable to keep their promises and are not even able to take a firm decision on the matter.

The lingering hopes of the 1 Crore CG employees and Pensioners are being played on by the government.

By these speculations, at one end false hopes are generated among government employees, whereas the flickering decisions of the government are bringing the hopes of the employees down.

Let’s see what is stored in 2018 for 48 lakh government employees and 52 lakh pensioners who are desperately waiting for the minimum pay hike under 7th Pay Commission.

Salary revision of central govt employees to change forever: After 7th Pay Commission, what?

The year 2018 is expected to bring cheers for the central government employees. After the 7th Pay Commission is implemented, the salary revision policy of the government is set to change. There are reports that the salary revision policy for central government employees is all set to change.

Reports suggest that the government will change the salary revision structure from 2018. That is, there will be no 8^th Pay Commission and the government would completely stop the pay commissions which have been in force since the independence.

Justice A K Mathur, chairman of the 7th Pay Commission, said that the government should review the salary of central government employees every year rather than forming new pay commission after the long gap of ten years.This can be done every year looking into the data available based on price index.

Revision to the salaries of central government employees can be done on the basis of the Aykroyd formula. In this method, the changes in the prices of the commodities that constitute a common man's basket is taken into consideration. If the government adopts this formula, the employees and government need not wait for ten years and form a pay commission to review salary and pension of the central government employees. It can be done by reviewing the inflation.

The Labour Bureau at Shimla takes a look at the changing prices of commodities periodically. 

The government has not commented on this topic yet. Reports say that a new revision structure for the salaries would be in force from 2018.

RS rejects pvt bill to make employment fundamental right

 Press Trust of India, New Delhi

The private member bill was rejected by 21 votes in favour and 18 against, after Vishambhar Prasad Nishad of the Samajwadi Party refused to withdraw it twice, necessitating a division and voting on it.

The government narrowly escaped facing an embarrassment in the Rajya Sabha on Friday, as the House rejected by just three votes a private bill seeking to guarantee employment to every citizen above 18 years of age or provide them unemployment allowance.

The private member bill was rejected by 21 votes in favour and 18 against, after Vishambhar Prasad Nishad of the Samajwadi Party refused to withdraw it twice, necessitating a division and voting on it.

There were about 40 members in the House when the bill was being debated. The present Rajya Sabha has 245 members.

Nishad, while moving the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2016 (insertion of new article 16 A), sought the support of the House for it, emphasising that due to lack of employment opportunities, the youths were being forced to indulge in criminal activities.

In his intervention during the debate on the measure, Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar said “Government is committed to create new avenues of employment despite the fact that it is not a fundmental right. There are well-crafted policies.”

Listing out government initiatives to create jobs, the minister urged Nishad to withdraw the bill.

Replying to the debate and the minister, Nishad said Gangwar has not answered his queries and was going by the BJP’s mainfesto which promised creation of 2 crore jobs every year.

When Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked Nishad whether he would like to withdraw the bill, the SP leader insisted on moving it for voting.

After a voice vote, the House went for a division in which 18 members supported the bill and 21 opposed it.

Earlier moving the legislation, Nishad had said that “as per this bill, any citizen of the country who has attained the age of 18 years should have a right to emplyment and if he does not get it, there should be a provision of unemployment allowance which should be decided by Parliament.”

He said there were various reasons for rise in joblessness in the country, including rise in population, industrial closures and lack of irrigation in various parts. “Unemployment has negative impact on the growth of the country leading to rise in poverty,” he said.

Supporting the bill, Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu of Congress said UPA regime in its 10 year rule provided stipend to around 14 crore people in the agrarian sector.

However, the BJP-led government had promised in 2014 that it would provide employment to over 2 crore people every year but in reality, only around 80,000 jobs were being generated, he said.

Rapolu said economic inequality in the country was rising and it can lead to serious challenges like agitations and even civil war. “If employment can be provided to all deserving people, only then peace can be maintained,” he added.

Opposing it, Mahesh Poddar and Vikas Mahatme (both BJP) said the focus should be on making people employable rather than making them dependent on government allowance.

Vijila Sathyananth (AIADMK) said it is the right time to amend the Constitution making employment a right.

SP member Alok Tiwari supported the bill saying lakhs of vacancies were not being filled by the government, which also “does not know about the exact situation of unemployment in the country”. He said employment should be made a fundamental right and a commission be set up to fill the vacancies.

Anil Kumar Sahani (JD-U) also supported the bill, while D Raja (CPI) said if the government fails to address the problem of unemployment, then it will also fail.

Similar views echoed by Chhaya Verma (Congress) who said that as per estimates made by different bodies, 15 to 20 crore people lost their jobs due to demonetisation. She also raised the issue of charging GST on workers’ wages in some states.

Neeraj Shekhar (SP) supported the bill saying the people having BTech and MBA degrees were not getting jobs. He criticised government for changing its stand on creating 2 crore jobs and now saying that it would create job-givers.

Protecting Employee Interest: Why trade unions must embrace labour law reforms

Formation of trade unions alone will not solve employee problems; we need overhaul of labour laws, and trade unions must work with the government, employers and employees towards reforming labour laws. This will boost job creation in the formal sector. 

Last month saw the first trade union from the Indian information technology (IT) industry getting registered in Tamil Nadu. This got many worried, lest it open the floodgates with more trade unions coming up, leading to a possibility of unionism or collective bargaining or industrial unrest in an industry that was so far away from such contentious phenomenon. While there is nothing wrong with trade unions as such, most employers and industry bodies view them with suspicion because, unfortunately, trade unions in India have always made ‘job protection’ as their primary agenda. It is important to recognise that, unlike some developed economies, India does not have a ‘jobs problem’—our unemployment rate is 5%—but a ‘wages problem.’ Almost everyone in India who wants a job can get one, just not at the salary they want. It is also important to recognise that higher wages or value that people demand can only be provided by formal sector jobs. Our ‘wages’ problem arises because most of our enterprises are dwarfs (small companies that will stay small), rather than babies (small companies that will grow big). This massive informalisation of our enterprises is an important source of poverty for the average Indian worker because enterprises can only pay the wage premium if they are productive. The real agenda for trade unions in India should, therefore, not be protection of jobs, but enabling job creation in the formal sector.

In this context, we can take many learnings from the German example of labour reforms in the early 21st century. Hartz reforms in 2003 reduced and capped unemployment benefits, with the goal of encouraging people to look for jobs. The unions realised that, post the fall of the Berlin Wall, companies had the option to move their production base to low-wage, former communist countries and they would, sooner or later, move away from high sector-wide or region-wide wages at home, so they decided to adapt to retain jobs for their people. The focus was not on protectionism or subsidy, but getting people quickly into a job by way of both encouraging job creation and upskilling of workers. These reforms, eventually, led to a massive reduction in unemployment rate in Germany—from 11% to 5%—with manufacturing making up almost 25% of the German economy and Germany becoming the third-largest exporting nation in the world. With almost 10 lakh job seekers entering the job market every month, Indian trade unions also need to rethink their approach if they really want to protect the interest of the average Indian worker. They need to enable labour law reforms required for creating more formal sector jobs and support large-scale vocationalisation of higher education to raise the number of apprentices in India from 4 lakh to 1.5 crore (the number we could have if we had the same proportion of our labour force as Germany in apprenticeships). Aside the change in mindset within the unions, the Trade Unions Act, 1926, itself needs modification. The main objective of this Act was to provide for the registration of trade unions and to confer a legal and formal status on registered trade unions. However, in its current context, it does little to benefit either employers or employees, and hampers productivity and economic growth. According to the Act, a registered union needs to have just 10% or 100 workers, whichever is less, engaged in the establishment or industry. Given that most large organisations of scale today have thousands of employees, this low threshold of employees to form a union can lead to the proliferation of many trade unions in larger organisations. This not only requires employers to deal with multiple employee unions, but can also hinder the harmonious relationships or dispute resolution between employers and unions, as each union may have different interests. Further, 25% of the members in a trade union can be outsiders. This implies that the workers who are not directly employed in a particular company or establishment also have to be involved or engaged in discussions with employers in case of a dispute. The concept of outsiders interfering in the matters of an organisation not only leads to lack of transparency in day-to-day functioning, but also tends to encourage criminalisation and politicisation of unions, leading to industrial conflict.

To ensure that this Act delivers on its intended objective of positive empowerment of trade unions, it should be made mandatory that all members and office bearers in a trade union must be employed in the organisation. Further, the requirement to form a union should be increased from 10% or 100 workers to a minimum 20% of the employees, such that it limits the number of trade unions in a single, large corporate entity. This would not only make it easier for employers to have a dialogue with employee representatives or unions, but also prevent marginalisation or fragmentation of employee point of view by ensuring fewer but more effective unions. Over the last few months, the central government has been going slow on many of the other big-ticket reforms—this is largely due to lack of consensus on these reforms with other stakeholders and trade unions. Prominent Indian trade unions and their leaders have unified in their resistance to these much-needed reforms and have been rather unfairly equating labour law reforms with ‘hire and fire.’

Notwithstanding the near death and redundancy of Marxism, particularly in the Indian context, trade unions would do well to remember Karl Marx’s statement on the objectives of a trade union: “The trade unions aim at nothing less than to prevent the reduction of wages below the level that is traditionally maintained in the various branches of industry. That is to say, they wish to prevent the price of labour power from falling below its value.” (Capital V1, 1867, p. 1069). We must note that 90% of our workforce is employed by the informal sector, where the price of labour power falls below its true value. Trade unions need to acknowledge this as the real issue and work with the government, employers and employees towards the critical agenda of labour law reforms that will boost job creation in the formal sector. By stonewalling these reforms, the unions are not only diminishing their own relevance and credibility, but also doing a great disservice to the very employees whose interest they claim to protect.

GENERAL PROVIDENT FUND INTEREST RESOLUTION

Simplification of Labour Laws

Ministry of Labour & Employment

Simplification of Labour Laws

Posted On: 03 JAN 2018 4:03PM by PIB Delhi

Reforms in labour laws are an ongoing process to update the legislative system to address the need of the hour so as to make them more effective, flexible and in sync with emerging economic and industrial scenario. The Second National Commission on Labour has recommended that the existing Labour Laws should be broadly grouped into four or five Labour Codes on functional basis. Accordingly, the Ministry has taken steps for drafting four Labour Codes on Wages; Industrial Relations; Social Security & Welfare; and Occupation Safety, Health and Working Conditions respectively, by simplifying, amalgamating and rationalizing the relevant provisions of the existing Central Labour Laws. Out of these, the Labour Code on Wages has been introduced in Lok Sabha on 10.08.2017 and subsequently, referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour. The rest of the codes are at pre-legislative consultative stage.

The process of Legislative reforms on Labour includes consultation with stakeholders including Central Trade Unions, Employers’ Association and State Governments in the form of tripartite consultation. Suggestions/comments received during the tripartite consultations are taken into account/considered while finalizing the amendment in various Act/Rules.

The Ministry has taken a number of legislative initiatives in labour laws during the last 3 years. Some of the important initiatives are as follows:

Ø  Amendment to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 by which   eligibility limit for payment of bonus enhanced from Rs 10000/- to Rs. 21000/- per month and the Calculation Ceiling from Rs. 3500/- to Rs. 7000/- or the minimum wages.

Ø  Payment of Wages (Amendment) Act, 2017 enabling payment of Wages to employees by Cash or Cheque or crediting it to their bank account.

Ø  Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016 provides for complete ban on employment of children below 14 years in any occupation or process.

Ø  Maternity Benefit Amendment Act, 2017, increases the paid maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks.

Ø  The Employee Compensation (Amendment) Act, seeks to rationalize penalties and strengthen the rights of the workers under the Act.

Ø  Ministry has notified  “Ease of Compliance to maintain Registers under various Labour Laws Rules, 2017” on 21st February 2017 which has in effect replaced the 56 Registers/Forms under 9 Central Labour Laws and Rules made there under in to 5 common Registers/Forms. The number of forms provided under 3 Central Acts/Rules has been reduced from existing 36 to 12. The register can also be maintained in digitised manner. This will save efforts, costs and lessen the compliance burden by various establishments.

Ø  A Model Shops and Establishments (RE&CS) Bill, 2016 has been circulated to all States/UTs for adoption with appropriate modification. The said Bill inter alia provides for freedom to operate an Establishment for 365 days in a year without any restriction on opening/closing time and enables employment of women during night shifts if adequate safety provisions exist.

Ø  A category i.e. Fixed Term Employment has been introduced under Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 to impart flexibility to an establishment to employ people in case of Apparel Manufacturing Sector to meet the fluctuating demands of the sector due to its seasonal nature.

This information was given by Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Union Minister of State (I/C) for Labour and Employment in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
