Chairman, PayAnomaliesCommission, Haryana, G. Madhavan,IAS(Retd.) Chandigarh, Haryana Email : [email protected] Foreword I have great pleasure in presenting this report of the Pay Anomalies Commission which examined the anomalies which crept in while revising the pay scales in Haryana on the basis of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission. I would like to place on record my deep appreciation of the assistance extended to me by the State Govt. of Haryana, the officers of the Finance Department and the staff of the Commission. Sh. Vivek Padam Singh, HCS, Secretary, Sh. S. P. Verma Accounts Officer and Sh. Daljit Singh Section Officer deserve particular mention for their tireless efforts in preparing Agenda notes for the meetings and their inputs in the preparation of this report. The contribution of Sh. S. P. Verma Accounts Officer in the preparation of the report has been exceptional and the Commission benefitted immensely from his intimate knowledge of various issues involved because of his long association with the Pay Revision Branch as well as the Pay Anomaly Committee. The Commission had some limitations in the scope of its functions since it was not a full fledged Pay Commission. Consequently, it was not possible to provide relief in cases where demands for improvement of pay scales were made and issues other than anomalies were raised which were beyond its purview. Every effort was, however, made to give a patient hearing to all representationists, be it an individual, association or Union of employees and discussions were held in the presence of all Stake Holders concerned in a transparent manner. Within its limitations, the Commission has tried to address some major anomalies and provide relief. The Commission hopes that with the implementation of this report, the task of the Govt. in examining and adopting the report of the 7th Central Pay Commission will become much easier apart from a sense of satisfaction to the affected employees that their genuine concerns have been addressed. 1st March, 2016 G. MADHAVAN CHANDIGARH CHAIRMAN Chapter-1 1.1 Constitution of Pay Anomalies Commission & its Terms of Reference: The Govt. of Haryana in the Finance Department vide Notification No. 1/83/2008-1PR (FD), dated 11th Sept. 2014, constituted a Pay Anomaly Commission. Shri G. Madhavan, IAS (Retd.) was appointed as Chairman of the Commission on the following terms of reference:- “To consider representations received from individual employees/ Association(s)/ Union(s) of employees for removal of pay anomalies and deviations, which might have arisen out of the implementation of pay revisions vide Haryana Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 and Haryana Civil Services (Assured Career Progression) Rules, 2008 as amended from time to time and make appropriate recommendations to the Government on such representations.” The notification further specified that the tenure of the commission will be of six months, which could be extended upto another six months. Subsequently vide notification No. 1/83/2008-1PR (FD), dated 25th March, 2015, the tenure was extended for a further period of six months beyond 10.3.2015. Vide notification No. 1/83/2008-1PR(FD), dated 9th February, 2015, the terms of reference of the Pay Anomaly Commission were revised to include the following:- “To study the differences in eligibility conditions, pay scales, other benefits including, inter-alia, LTC, payment and releases of additional DA instalments, arrears thereof, actual pay for new recruits in initial years, etc., between Punjab and Haryana.” The Chairman took charge on 16th of September 2014. The Model code of conduct came into force with the declaration of Haryana Vidhan Sabha Elections announced by the Election Commission of India and no further serious action could be taken by the Commission, since no discussion could be undertaken with the employees/Association(s)/ Union(s) of employees, on the subject. No infrastructure was provided to the Pay Anomaly Commission, by way of staff, equipments etc. The new Govt. took charge in the month of October, 2014 and various decisions taken by the previous Govt. came under review as a matter of Policy. There was no clear indication whether the Commission should go ahead with its work and consequently, in the absence of staff and infrastructure, the Commission remained dormant during the months of November and December, 2014. Finally, in the end of December, 2014, the State Govt. 1 decided to activate the Pay Anomaly Commission and necessary decision to provide infrastructure and other facilities for functioning of the Commission was taken at the level of Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana. An Office Room was allotted to the Chairman in Haryana Civil Sectt and some personal staff was also provided. Further provision of infrastructure like computer, fax machine, Photostat machine and subordinate staff from FD was made. The Commission started its functioning in the month of February 2015. Since, the initial period of six months was lost, in the month of August 2015, The State Govt. vide notification No. 1/83/2008-1PR(FD), dated 5th October, 2015, extended the tenure for further six months upto 10th of March, 2016, for the Commission to submit its report. Copies of the notifications are placed at Annexure ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’. The Commission vide its communication dated 13th February, 2015, addressed to all the Administrative Secretaries, All HODs, All Commissioners of Divisions, All DCs and SDOs (Civil), Registrar, Punjab and Haryana High Court, requested to consider representations received from individual employees/ Association(s), Union(s) of employees for removal of pay anomalies and deviations, which might have arisen out of the implementation of pay revisions. They were also requested to send their comments on the representations of the employees after proper examination of the representations depending upon, whether it was for removal of pay anomaly, removal of deviations from 6th Central Pay Commission that have taken place while implementing recommendations of 6th Pay Commission in the State or grant of pay scale on the pattern of Punjab. A copy of the instructions issued by the Finance Deptt. vide letter No. 8/6/2001-5PR(FD), dated 20.4.2001 on the subject of what constitutes a pay anomaly was also enclosed alongwith the communication addressed to all the Departments.
