Dungarpur is the first tribal district of the country which has been awarded with above certificate for it's international standard quality services.This has been given to them because of many qualitative changes in the functioning of Collectorate brought by Niraj K.

Can you expect this in Corporate Sector ?
This is in reference to the message ' Will Mishra serve for 3 months'? This is really a joke. The post of Chairman CBDT has really been diluted over the years. The present incumbent who is to retire on 31st march was there for 5 months. The previous incumbent was there for 4 months. Similarly the previous 10 Chairman have been in the seat for not more than a few months. Now Mishra will be there for one month and if he gets an extension for another 2 months. Can such a scenario be imagined in the corporate sector where the CEO does not have a shelf life of more than 3 months on an average? The income tax department is literally running the UPA agenda. The 60000 crores waiver is because of the bumper tax collection, which has been acknowledged by the Finance Minister himself.
Won't it be a good idea that the post of Chairman CBDT, and perhaps CBEC too, should be secured for atleast 1 year so that concrete steps could be taken for optimising the tax collection? Perhaps there needs to be a public debate on this aspect and your website may like to have an opinion poll. Secondly, it has to be considered seriously whether the post of Chairman should be made Secretary level and thereby do away with the post of Revenue Secreary which is unfortunately an obstructionist layer in the entire hierarchy?.

I wish Pawan Ved best of luck
Sri Pavan Ved , has made a very generous& appropriate comment regarding, deputation of IRS officers to other departments. He is a man with a vision&dignity.he is over qualified for the job of cit,in the revenue department. He is rightfully aspiring for consultancy/practice-independently. I wish him best of luck in his new venture.

. "Report for Masters"
I agree with the comments from Ajit. If we take notice of the recommendations w.r.t. Assistant Teachers/primary teachers who have been given the scale of Rs. 6500/- in place of existing Rs. 4500/- (two scales higher leaving the scale of Rs. 5000/- and Rs. 5500/- behind, for just required qualification of SSC + one years JBT or BTC course ( and for duty hours of only 5-6 hours along with a plenty of leaves in summers/winters, this report is realy for the Masters (Teachers),. This is another angle analysing the comments of Pawar.
T T Ram
Anomoly should be rectified
As rightly identified bt T Palani, the Pay Commission Report has been written by an IAS Officer is correct. There is a serious anlomaly conerning the grade pays of IAS and other Group A services. Previously, IAS was given two additional increments at STS, JAG and NFSG level but without any difference in these grades. This pay commission has gone one step further to ligitimatise the differences in grades too by providing different and higher grade pays to IAS officers in comparable grades. Is it an inadvertent error or a conspiracy to accord special status to IAS officers even in the same grades. This anomaly needs to be rectified by the Government in order to stop demotivating further a large number of Group A officers. This pay commission has done more 'BAD' than 'GOOD' in perpetuating the differences and gaps between IAS and non-IAS which was not the mandate for it. The group of Officials studying the recommendation of Pay Commission for implementation must be drawn from IAS and non-IAS categories and they should try to achieve equity, distributive justice and harmony among all the cadres.

Report is amusing
The Pay Commission Report is indeed amusing. So what they didn't give anyone a worthwhile pay hike? They've promised a doubling of the pension at age 100! So here's good health to everyone!!

No scope for intelligent officers in Government
6TH Pay Commission has announced loud and clear that there is no scope for intelligent officers in government. The report is a cruel joke on civil servants from all services. The talent has to move from the government to private sector as the most incometent people will remain in government now. The hikes are pea-nuts and grossly inadequate. There was definitely a merit to go beyond 1.5 lakh for a joint secretary and at least 1 lakh for deputy secretary and 1.25 lakh for Director level officers.

It was not expected from Rajiv Shukla
This is with reference to an Article of Rajiv Shukla published in the editorial page of Dainik Jagaran, dt. 22. 3.2008 titled 'Badhata Vetan Ghati Jimmedari', deploring the unaccountability and availability of more than 200 days of holidays for Government Employees and so called disproportionately high pay-packets for them. While his contention regarding the 17 days Gazetted Holidays allowed in a 5-day a week set-up may be right, and that has been taken care of by the 6th CPC also by reducing this to 3 National holidays with an increase of RHs by 6 days(from 2 to 8), a year, to drive home his point he has resorted to half baked data presentation by which he declares that today every Government employee is entitled for 201 days of leave in a year. To quote him translated into English from Hindi:
" … This is a fact that any government employee is entitled for 201 days of leave out of the 365 days of a year. So much leave is not given in any country of the world and in USA and other development oriented countries, just half of this is available."
He has relied on the so called data of Ministry of Personnel according to which,
" …. A government employee or officer is entitled to get 104 days Sat/Sun leave, 20 medical leave, 30 earned leave, 8 casual leave, 2 restricted, 20 half pay leave, 17 Gazetted leave. This makes a total of 201. Thus he is expected to work only 164 days in a year………"
This calculation is factually wrong. There is no 20 days 'medical leave' at all in a year. The 20 days HPL, can only be commuted to get 10 days of full pay leave on medical grounds only. Thus any one is not entitled even for 10 days commuted leave as a matter of right. Only on medical certificate he can avail such leave out of his accumulated HPL account, from which double the HPL is deducted for each full pay leave taken. Thus removing these two figures only reduces the figure of 201 to 161 and 164 days (expected to work), to 204 days a year.
Secondly every one simply don't prefer to utilize all the 30 days of EL available to him for encashment of upto 300 days is allowed at the time of retirement. There are numerous examples where even after accumulating 300 days of EL many officers and employees are not availing it and the ELs earned by them beyond 300 are getting lapsed every year. For some, even taking 8 days CL is also not possible (by choice or by compulsion),.
Just to drive home his point of view, cooking up data in a misleading way is nothing but defamatory for the government employees. General public quickly makes a negative idea on reading such kind of articles particularly if the author is an hon'ble MP of Congress Party from Rajya Sabha and owner of a Production house in the media. At least, such kind of mud-slinging from a person like is not expected.

Some Observations and Suggestions on Pay Commission Report
1. The Pay Commission (PC), seems to have determined the minimum pay and fixed the maximum and than juggle in the rest of the numbers. The increase in the pay scales has to be necessarily in the same proportion as that for the Senior Scale, if not the proposed hike in the pay scale of Secretaries.
2. The PC has observed, "The scale of Rs.14300-22400 presently applies to very few posts in the Central Government. The scale was earlier available to Professors, etc. in Government institutes, almost all of whom have now switched to UGC pattern. As such, no rationale exists for retaining this scale as a separate scale." Despite this the PC has used this scale to create a big gap between the posts in the scales of Rs.14300-18700 and Rs.16400-20900 (by clubbing them with the Pay Band 3), and the Senior Time scale of Rs 18400-22,000. In the PB4 the minimum of the scale has been linked with Rs.14300 of a non-used scale, thus giving it a basic pay of Rs 39200 whereas for the basic pay of Rs. 14300 applicable for a Director it is only Rs 24890. Similar advantage is also given to the basic pay of Rs 14300 of a non-used scale over Rs 20900 in the scale of Rs.16400-20900. The real reason for this appears to be the creation of a big artificial gap between rest and the top without making it look apparent. This gap is not going to impact IAS officers as only they will be able to make use of higher pay scales to the hilt.
3. If PB2 can overlap PB3 by a big margin, why not PB3 overlaps PB4 as has always been the case. There is no reason to distinguish Senior Scale to such an extent.
Proposed Corrections
A few corrections necessary for making the award inclusive and just, are as follows:
1. Start the PB4 at Rs 43280, which is indicated as the amount corresponding to the basic pay of Rs 18400 in pre-revised Senior Scale.
2. Increase all the remaining Pay Bands in same proportion as the increase in the erstwhile Senior Scale, as follows:
PB3: From Rs. 15600 - Rs 39100 To Rs. 18800 - Rs 49000
PB2: From Rs. 8700 - Rs 34800 To Rs. 12650 - Rs 34800
PB1: From Rs. 8700 - Rs 34800 To Rs. 6900 - Rs 20200
3. Break down the pre-revised scale of 14300 - 22400 in two parts with one going to PB3 and second to PB4.
Anil
Representation on the recommendation of the Sixth Pay
Commission Report
At the outset of my observation I would like to
congratulate the Sixth Pay Commission for a good
report, though it is below the normal expectations of
the serving officers. The introduction of Pay Band
system and Grade Pay is highly appreciable and could
definitely be helpful in removing the stagnation in a
pay scale in the present scenario.
However, I would like to point out the anomalies and
differential treatment meted out to the two services
namely Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service
at Super time scale (ref. chapter 3.2 All Indian
Service),-
1. It is understood that seeing the role and
importance of the IAS, the existing edge for the
service in three grades viz. Senior Time Scale, Junior
Administrative Grade and Non Functional Selection
Grade is being continued. But for Super time Scale for
both the services namely IPS and IFS the commission
has committed in justice by clubbing the existing pay
scale in PB-3.
2. The commission has recognized the importance of
Super time post of DIG and Conservator in para 3.2.9
and 3.2.12 of the report by continuing it with
existing Pay scale of Rs. 16,400-450-20,000, but
clubbing this scale with the Junior Pay scale of Rs.
8,000-275-13,500 in PB-3 the commission has actually
tried to diminish the importance of the role of DIG
and Conservator in the respective services.
3. In the present scenario the promotion of an officer
to the Super time scale from All India Services in all
the three services are very different and it is seen
that the IAS gets promotion in Super time scale
(18,400-22,000), at the 17th year of the service
whereas an IFS officer struggle to get promotion in
Super time scale (16,400-20,000), even at the end of
20th year of service in many States.
4. Hence, clubbing the Pay scale of Rs. 16,400-20,000
in PB-3 and Rs. 18,400-22,000 in PB-4 will further
increase the gap among the three All India Service in
the Super time scale and is a serious injustice to the
service which will cause resentment among the officers
of IPS and IFS cadre. Here it is also pertinent to
bring to the notice of the concerned that the Pay
scale of Rs. 14,300-450-22,400 (Other Central
Services), is clubbed in PB-4 which also shows that the
pay scale of Rs. 16,400-450-20,000 (S-26), and Rs.
16,400-450-20,900 (S-27), must be clubbed in PB-4 and
should be removed from PB-3.

Excellent analysis by Verma
Excellent analysis done by Verma. the whole crux of the entire report is put in a tabular form and nothing remains to be explained. But I hope government will not implement the report without judiciously studying it and take necessary corrective measures to plug the holes in the special report. Otherwise this would be the pay commission only for s-28(old scale), and above.
Ajay
Retirement age should be raised
Since Pay Commission has treated us like poor under-paid inefficient fools, why cause distress by keeping retiring age at 60. Let the government increase age to 65, if we are, in any case, to be underpaid underdogs. This could compensate for the low pay and loss of face caused by everyone getting to know what we are actually paid.
A Worried Civil Servant
Good calculation
Ajay K Verma has calculated the pre-tax increases. This is a great eye opener! If one looks at post tax increases, the story may be a little different. This is so because, one may like to look at the actual increase in hand.
SKV
It will benefit only IAS
The recommendations of pay commission have been designed to benefit IAS only. There was need to bring parity between various group A services to give incentives for specialisation but sadly the commission has only perpetuated a feudal mindset. The report has only caused huge frustration especially in middle level officers of all Group A services barring IAS. A bonanza was given a couple of months back by DoPT to IAS officers by allowing state governments to give a scale of 18400-22400 (joint Secy), to IAS officers having only 14 years of service. The commission has further given a windfall by increasing salaries of jt secy level officers by about 52% whereas for other scales (lower), the increase is not even 25%. This is only about salaries. If allowanaces are added which are linked to scale the benefits to IAS with only 14 years service are even bigger. They have unduly gained an advantage of at least 4 years above any other service barring Indian Foreign Service as officers from other services take not less than 18 years to get the scale of Joint Secy.
Moreover the hype created in the media about 40% increase is a myth. The highest increase ( 65% and 61% respectively),is for Secretary and Cabinet Secretary ranks which are almost fully in the grip of IAS officers. For other scales in Group A the rise is merely about 25% at start of scale and 15% at end of scale.
The whole issue needs a comprehensive re-examination.
Anurag
Report has nothing for non-gazetted employees
This 6th PC Report which is coming after about 12 years has nothing for non-gazetted employees. These non-gazetted employees were already grinded severely without any promotional avenues; once in two years Home Town Concession; sub-standard CGHS facility; late sitting without any reason at the direction of senior officers without any benefit. Now with the more pay benefit to higher officers above US/PPS level to Secretary; these poor non-gazetted employees are going to be crushed without any benefit and always be at the mercy of the these officers who will exercise their authority because of a very high pay. Now they will simply direct the subordinates to do everything and exploit them and enjoy at their cost. It may also be said that the living style of a Secretary and that of a non-gazetted employee is totally different. While the Secretary has everything at his disposal; i.e. a furnished chamber for his office; at home servants to attend him and others in his family; these poor non-gazetted staff and particularly stenos in the lower grade are forced to sit late without any benefit and also attend to domestic work of his house on his own without anybody assisting him. These things should be realised by the officer of Secretary level. Since this PC does not say anything about promotional avenues; HTC facilites; good compensation for late sitting; this report is nothing but a document meant for exploiting the non-gazetted staff and keeping them at the mercy of higher officers.

The Air India is the first Airline in the Indian aviation sector to launch the non stop flight on Delhi-New York & New York -Delhi sector.The 14 hour haul is not as long as it sounds when one hears about it for the first time.The experience of a new level of luxury while travelling on the Boeing 777-200LR (Longer Range) aircraft is worth sharing with high fliers.Boeing 777-200 LR is the most deluxe aircraft in the world at present.One who walks with waves of time can succeed,but in case of this flight it will be no exaggeration to say that those who want to dispose of their official work and return to Delhi or New York can conveniently do so within two days.Only a word of caution is that while aboard flight one must make sure that he sleeps for about six hours(either way).Otherwise,you are going to miss that luxury of sleeping while over flying the North Pole.
The 238-seater aircraft that flies between the Indian capital and the "Big Apple" has eight first class seats, 35 executive class seats & 195 economy class seats.The flight departs from New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport at 0030 hrs (IST) and lands at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport at 0545 hrs. (New York Time). It departs from New York at 1600 hrs. (New York Time) and touches Delhi at 1630 hrs. (IST) the next day.In either cases I found the flight to be quite convenient.
This was best testified by Arun K.Bajoria President "JKTyre"with whom I had the privilege to travel on the long haul from New York to Delhi.Bajoria said "this is my third trip on this sector ever since the flight has been started & I am delighted to see that the flight is evoking a very good response." Replying to a question Arun K.Bajoria said "I have noticed that in every flight number passengers has been increasing."
Those travelling by Premium Class- First & Executive,can conveniently remain E-connected with the world,as the Air India's Maharajah lounge is equipped with computers with internet. One can have anything from bottled water to beverages besides choicest of whiskey & liquors .There are a variety starters which definitely tickle palate of passengers.Once you are aboard the flight you are ushered into a luxurious environs of the ultra modern aircraft.Claim to fame for flights on this sector other than shortening distance between Delhi & New York, is that a red Carpet welcome is given to passengers of all classes.It varies from Premium class to Economy Class,but the cabin crew pays personal attention to each passenger.Logistics for trip either way were meticulously planned by Air India's Director for Corporate Communication Jitendra Bhargawa,D.S.Kohli Executive Director (ED)Northern Region,Andy Bhatia New York based Area Passenger Sales Manager & Sanjay Sharma Chief Manager Corporate Communication(based in Delhi).
