Dear Comrade,
The Govt. of India is not at all sympathetic towards settlement of long pending of genuine grievances of Central Govt. employees. The entire working class and farmers are on struggle path. Three lac GDS employees were also compelled to go on strike for 16 days. None of the 7th CPC demands has been settled. The assurance given by the group of ministers for revision of minimum wage and fitment factor has not been fulfilled and now Finance Minister had given reply in the Parliament that “No Change in minimum pay and fitment formula is at present under consideration of the Government”.
Employees who joined service on or after 1-1-2004 have been put under New Pension Scheme which can be called as No Pension Scheme. The employees who joined on or after 1-1-2004 are getting meager pension @Rs 1000/- or 2000/- per month. As on 30-04-2018, 17,58,144 employees are covered under N.P.S Govt. is not ready to give guarantee of 50% pension of last pay drawn.
Six lac posts were declared lying vacant by 7th CPC up to 31.03.2016. After that lacs & lacs posts have fallen vacant after retirement of officials every month .
