20th May will.shake the Nation!

 20th May Strike - let it be a great working class action!!

On 20.05.2025, the Indian Working Class is to stage a great protest by its nationwide strike. The strike action and a series of programmes were decided by the National Convention of Workers. NCCPA or National Coordinating Committee of Pensioners Associations that met in its National Executive on 19.04.2025 at AIRF office in New Delhi unanimously decided to solidly support the working class action.

It calls all the 10 lakhs of its members to solidly stand with the Central TUs & Independent Federations and Associations and resort to jail baro; rasta roko and other forms of programmes decided by the Central TUs and Federations. 

On behalf of NCCPA we express total support to the programmes of Central TUs and Federations.

Stand united with the Working Class!

NFPE and FNPO of Postal JCA decision to join the nationwide Strike on 20.05.2025!

Great news that the Postal JCA of NFPE and FNPO and many of their affiliates have decided to join the Working Class action on 20th May!

The decision is stupendous and we the NCCPA is very happy that the Postal JCA has decided for united action. We trust and hope that as per tradition, the Confederation also takes a similar positive stand and joins the action. Liberalisation and Privatisation policy of the Government cannot be driven back unless there is united action of everybody.

Let the great Workers Action succeed. 

Let us join and support every programme of Central TUs and Independent Federations & Associations.

Government do not like Court Verdicts that is against it!

 CAT is out of the BAG!

This Newspaper clearly saw that the Supreme Court which struck down the dealings of the Government and ruled that all past pensioners are to be treated in the same manner is turned back and now the Government has got back the powers to accept or deny a benefit recommended by CPCs. The real purpose of validation amendment is to win the Supreme Court which ruled that the pensioners of pre2006 should be given like post2006 pensioners ìn the case that went before it called the S-30 pensioners case. To abrogate all powers that the Supreme Court had stripped down, the Government passed this amendment!

Now, all past pensioners are at the mercy of Government! Why not we challenge the   validation amendment illegal at the Supreme Court? NCCPA  will decide on 19th April in the Delhi Executive! - KR SG NCCPA

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 8^th 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 7^th 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 6^th CPC times and the present Government will continue the polices of 7^th 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.

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.
