Sixth Pay Commission Recommendations.
The government has decided to pay higher salaries of Rs 67,000 to Rs 79,000 to up to 40 per cent of the professors in centrally funded technical institutes, including the IITs and the IIMs.
Under the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, professors in the central institutes were entitled to between Rs 37,400 and Rs 67,000 a month with an additional grade pay of Rs 10,500 to Rs 12,000.
IIT teachers had been up in arms against the condition because they felt the 40 per cent cap would discriminate against young professors.
Now, in the New order , the Ministry has said that instead of movement up to AGP of Rs 12,000 per month, 40 per cent of the professors would move to HAG. “It has now been decided in consultation with the Department of Expenditure to extend the HAG scale of Rs 67,000-Rs 79,000 without any Grade Pay in place of AGP of Rs 12,000 per month. The AGP of Rs 12,000 per month does not exist anymore,” the HRD notification states.
The Mizoram state Cabinet sub-committee on 6th pay recommendations submitted its report to Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla.
The pay panel headed by Personal and Administrative Reforms Minister H Liansailova proposed on January 1, 2010 as the effective date, against the Fitment Committee’s earlier proposal of January 1, 2006, without arrears.
Liansailova said the reports had been prepared in line with implementation of the sixth pay recommendations in states like Punjab, Haryana, Orissa, Meghalaya, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh and taking into consideration the proposals and grievances of as many as 84 service associations under the Mizoram government.
The sub-committee recommendations have excluded contractual and muster-roll employees, pensioners and employees of colleges and of law and judicial department.
While pointing out that certain privileges have been shown to Grade IV workers, who have no scope for promotion, the committee chairman made it clear that arrears would not be paid.

"Once the common formula is worked out, we will make an announcement,'' said the official.

Rectifying earlier anomalies in the Sixth Pay Commission, the government has accorded financial sanction for moving Lieutenant Generals and equivalents into a higher pay band. The orders were signed by the Ministry of Defence
Lieutenant Generals and equivalents (other than Army Commanders) have been placed lower in pay than Directors General of Police. A substantial number of three star generals will now be placed in the Higher Administrative Grade--Plus (HAG+) pay band of Rs 75,500-80,000.
Lieutenant Generals and equivalent holding the appointments of GOC-in-C (Army Commander) or equivalent in the sister services are already in the apex scale of Rs 80,000 (fixed).
The anomaly of lowering of status of Lt Gens crept up when they were placed in pay band-4 (Rs 37,400--67,000) with grade pay of Rs 12,000 while state police chiefs were upgraded to HAG+ at the time of implementation of the sixth CPC recommendations.
More than 8.3 million central government employees and pensioners will have to wait till at least August 2009 to receive the second instalment of Sixth Pay Commission arrears.
This became clear from the Interim Budget presented last week, which has not sought Parliamentary approval in its expenditure estimates for the first four months of the next fiscal starting April 2009, said a senior finance ministry official.
The government is estimating a total spend of Rs 47,500 crore for implementing the Sixth Pay Commission in the current and next financial year. Around Rs 27,000 crore is towards payment of arrears, as the implementation is from 2006.
Government has issued orders for placing officers of the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and equivalents in the pay band-4.
As per the new orders, Lt Cols will now be in upgraded pay bracket of Rs37,400-67,000 (PB-4) with a grade pay of Rs8,000 from the earlier scale of Rs15,600-39,100 (PB-3) with a grade pay of Rs7,600. The Services were demanding a grade pay of Rs8,700 for this pay band created after the 6th Pay Commission recommendations.
With upgraded pay-scales, Lt Cols and their equivalents in the other two services will now be senior to deputy secretaries in central government, directors in state governments and senior superintendents of police, commandants (junior grade) in the Coast Guard and the non-functional selective grade in central engineering services.
As per the letter issued by a senior defence ministry official, PB-4 would now be applicable to tenure postings with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Director General (Quality Assurance) and National Cadet Corps as these organisations fall within the purview of the ministry and the pay allowances are paid from the its budget.
Officers on deputation and training on foreign assignments would also be in PB-4.
Officers posted with organisations such as Assam Rifles, National Security Guards and Border Road Organisation (BRO) will also benefit from the government’s move.
There is a modification in the Travelling allowance rule in the sixth pay which was based on the reimbursement principle. In that case Officers have to produce receipts for the amount spent on accommodation, food, transportation etc.
Officers who had to travel on duty to remote places could not get the receipts for the amount spent by them for food as they had to use small hotels and it is difficult to get bill from there.
By the issue of new Ofice Memorandum dated 22.01.2009, as the Govt has decided to sanction daily allowance on tour, based on earlir office memorandum dated 17.04.1998 in case the officers opted to claim slab rate based daily allowance instead of reimbursement based travelling allowance prescribed vide office memorandum dated 23.09.08.
The new order provides the choice to the Officers for claiming the Travelling allowance either based on old TA rates or at actuals using the bills for food etc as per the office memorandum dated 23.09.08.
