NCCPA ALL AFFILIATES ATTENTION PLEASE


 NCCPA - URGENT NOTICE TO ALL AFFILIATES

Dear Comrades!

As pointed out by some comrades the minor corrections are carried out in the Declaration. All Affiliates are requested to download this Copy of Declaration in their letter-pad and submit it on 3/4/2025 Please – KR SG NCCPA\

Note Attention to All Affiliates -Please Note the above Declaration and Instruction please – KR

NATIONAL COORDINATION COMMITTEE OF PENSIONERS ASSOCIATIONS

3.4.2025

Declaration adopted by the demonstrating pensioners on 03.04.2025 and submitted to the Honourable Prime Minister through the Head of the Department / Head of office of CG Office in States & Districts:

 

The Action of the Central Government on 25.03.2025 to adopt the bill along with the Finance Bill in the name of ‘Validation of the CCS (Pension) Rules and principles for  expenditure on  Pension Liabilities from the Consolidated Fund of  India’ to dupe the Members of Parliament is very retrograde. The opposition to the effort was steam rolled by the Government in Parliament and the purport of the bill to usurp the right to classify the pensioners community into different groups based on their retirement and thus deny them to the benefits of future pensioners is actually tramples the ruling of the Supreme Court in the landmark judgment of D.S.Nakara case which ruled that any attempt to divide the same class of pensioners by artificial cut-off date and thus deny the benefit to a section of pensioners is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.

 

The bill actually robs all the pensioners and the action of the Government to attack the senior citizens are detestable. To announce a Central Pay Commission and before appointing it adopting a bill to deny any right to the past pensioners through the Pay Commission is most retrograde. The Honourable Finance Minister tried to bring solace to the pensioners community by saying that the existing pension will not be affected by the distinctions created amongst the past pensioners; but she did not say that through the 8th Pay Commission the past pensioners will not be compartmentalized and the past pensioners also will be eligible to the rights of the future pensioners like 7th CPC.

 

The DoP&PW organized a virtual meeting on 29.03.2025 at 10.30 A.M. The Staff Side including the Staff Side Secretary and many leaders of the Pensioners Movement were present.The Pension Secretary repeatedly saying that the validation was only to regularise 6th CPC times and the present Government will continue the polices of 7th CPC and that no change of policy is contemplated, He will issue a clarification also on behalf of Pension Ministry. But the doubts persist and there is no need to revise the validation time from 1972 onwards. The Pension Secretary had no answers  to this question.

 

This demonstration of the Pensioners organized by the NCCPA and its Affiliates and other Pensioners Associations vehemently condemns the action of the Union Government forced by the liberalization and pension reforms and the community of Pensioners have no alternative but to turn to the streets for justice.

Dear Comrade,

Sub: Letter of DOPT addressed to Staff Side Secretary on 8th CPC Terms of Reference - Reg.

Kindly consider the following points while finalizing the letter on terms of reference to 8th CPC by the JCM Staff Side to the DOPT.

NCCPA Will be thankful to the staff side for writing the undermentioned points also to the DOPT in addition to other points in response to the said letter:

1. While framing the terms of reference to 7th CPC, the words “Autonomous and Statutory Bodies” was left out while mentioning the CG Employees and Pensioners. This omission unnecessarily delayed the functioning of the 7th CPC and the acceptance of the recommendations to the Autonomous and Statutory Bodies by the Government.

 

2. Comprehensive terms of reference about medical issues is required to deal the inclusion of Autonomous and statutory Bodies as well as the Ayurveda retirees.

 

3. Inclusion of CGHS to the NPS Pensioners require amendment for the NPS Pensioners like the CCS Pension 2021 covered Pensioners as the period should be 9 years 9 months for both. The issue may please be referred to the 8th CPC.

 

4. All issues recommended by the Parliamentary Standing Committee regarding CGHS / Medical and Pension, which were earlier rejected by the Central Cabinet shall be included in the terms of reference. The issue of one wellness centre at least in each revenue district may be referred to 8th CPC.

 

5. All current issues in the court or direction from the courts shall be included for the recommendation of the 8th CPC. The issues like the reduction of period of restoration of Commutation; the FMA quantum; the issue of continued impounding of 18 months DA/DR Arrears; Commutation restoration etc are referred to 8th CPC.

 

6. The issue of extending recognition to eligible Pensioners Associations of All India and States for admittance in SCOVA and Pensioners Portal in a democratic manner shall be included in the terms of reference. Similarly, the issue of enacting a national litigation policy may be referred to the Pay Commission.

 

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Executive Council of TUI (P&R) met on 26.06.2024

 

Trade Union International (P&R) Executive!



 

The TUI (P&R) Executive Council met today (26.06.2024) and discussed for 3 hours about the Greece Congress (3rd world congress) and the GS report. The Executive was presided by the President comrade Dimos Koumporis. Comrade Quim Boix GS TUI(P&R) anchored. More than 35 Comrades from different countries attended. From India comrade K.G.Jayaraj (Vice Secretary Organisation) and comrade K.Ragavendran (Asia coordinator) attended and presented our interventions in the meeting. 

 

The Executive Council mainly analysed the 3rd World Congress and noted all positive points and some points on which improvement is needed. TUI (P&R)'s interaction with ILO recently was appreciated by many speakers. English knowing comrades experienced some difficulties in understanding certain speeches made due to absence of translation at times. 

 

Comrade Quim Boix finally assured that from next meeting, there will be better translation arrangement. He assured his presence in all Regional meetings too. 

 

The President comrade Dimos concluded with the assurance that all decisions of congress will be enthusiastically implemented and the rights of pensioners and young workers will be fought. He also assured the meeting that the Greece Pensioners has met and decided to strengthen the movement as decided by the Congress. - KR SG NCCPA
