AN EARNEST APPEAL
Though the National media had been persistently distorting the issues connected with the farm enactments that led to the biggest ever agitation of the Indian farmers in recent times, the stir that began two months back had been gaining momentum every day. The Government characterised the movement as anti-national, backed by the terrorist outfits etc. and exhorted the peopleof the need to halt the ill-advised movement, but every segment of the society came forward to express concern, support the movement and express the need for a fruitful dialogue. The tractor rally organised jointly by several Kisan organisations being unprecedented caught the attention of the Indian people though very many attempts were made to tarnish the image of the leaders of the movement as also the movement itself. No doubt many in the country felt that Republic day being the most solemn and important day of the Nation, what was stage managed at the Red Fort ought not have happened. The agitation caught the attention of the world media and there had been innumerable comments from all over the world of the need to address the issue with a view to reach a settlement. The abject surrender of the Indian Press and the so called free channels to the ruling dispensation was a pathetic sight reminding of the emergency days. The famous comment of Shri L.K. Advani about the Indian Press in those days that they decided to crawl when asked to bend came vividly to one’s mind. Democracy as we all know can survive as a form of governance only when it is ensured that its dominant pillar, the media is really free, fearless and impartial.
Despite the untold repression and imposition of UAPA on many leaders the farmers movement could not be cowed down. Every trick in the book of chicanery was employed but the farmers stood firm, unflinching, scorning at the powers in governance; determined in their pursuit to victory. Had there been a micro-part of the courage and conviction demonstrated by the farmers, the Central Govt. employees could have written a glorious page of struggle when the promise held out to them in 2016 was not only honoured but discarded with disdain by the Government. Our weakness, amply demonstrated by our inaction naturally must have emboldened the Government to take away the dearness compensation in April, 2020 when the employees wanted it most.
The sale of National Assets, commenced decades back has continues unabated. The 2021 Budget has proposed to sell out the most profitable public enterprise, the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The sale is not for any strategic reason or advantage but only to reduce the fiscal deficit to comply with the terms imposed by the world lending agencies when the country adopted the neo-liberal economic policies. Even during the pandemic days, when the whole of the population suffered immeasurably, when all economic activities came to a grinding halt, the increase registered in the wealth of 100 Indian millionaires was of the order of Rs. 12.97,822 Crores. According to the Oxfam report, a worker in the unorganised sector will take 10000 years to earn the income generated by Mukesh Ambani in an hour. During this period the corporate tax was reduced to 22% from. 34.61%. India thus joined into the privileged club of the very few countries, where the corporate taxes are the lowest. The concessions extended to the Corporates cost the exchequer 1.45 laksh crore in tax revenue this year. The corporate taxes as a share of GDP came down from 3.5% to 2.2%, whereas the indirect taxes which affects every Indian citizen including the poorest of the poor rose to 5.1% of GDP in 2020-01. In 2020-21 It is expected that the privatisation of Bharat Petroleum, Air India, Shipping corporation, IDBI, Container Corporation, IDBI, BEML. Pawan Hans, Neelpal Ispat Nigam etc. would be completed.
The greatest impediment the farmers face today in going ahead with their just and peaceful agitation is the financial stringency. We feel it is the bounden duty of each and every citizen of the country to help them out to win the war; help them financially by collecting funds and donating it; extend the solidarity and support by organising demonstrative actions and do whatever that is needed to be done. We, therefore, appeal our affiliates, State COCs, all friends and admirers of the farmers movement to collect funds and remit the same to their respective CHQs who will remit to Confederation HQ. Confederation HQ will donate to the Farmers Organizations.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Secretary General.

Regarding facility of SMS to the pensioners after verification of Digital Life Certificate by the Pension Disbursing Agency.
No. 27-10/2020-PO
Government of India Ministry of Communications

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg New Delhi-110001
Dated: 19-02-2021
To,
All Chief Postmasters General
Subject: Regarding facility of SMS to the pensioners after verification of Digital Life Certificate by the Pension Disbursing Agency.
This is regarding the facility of SMS to the pensioners after verification of Digital Life Certificate by the Pension Disbursing Agency.
2. Earlier, the SMS containing Jeevan Pramaan Id was being sent to the pensioners at the time of registration of Digital Life Certificate at HOS working as Jeevan Pramaan Centres. But there was no provision to send SMS informing the pensioner about the status of their DLCs after the verification(success or failure) by the respective PDA. In case of failure of DLC pensioner could get to know about the same only after the discontinuation of the pension credit.
3. To facilitate the pensioner and avoid such inconvenience to pensioners, the provision of sending SMS to the pensioners in both cases of success or failure after verification of their DLC by PDA has been implemented and streamlined.
4. Therefore, it is requested to bring the information to the notice of all DDOs and all pensioners including the pensioner's associations in Circles/ Regions and Divisions for dissemination of information in public interest.
5. This issues with the approval of competent authority.

MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS
FAMILY PENSIONS CEILING ENHANCED FROM RS 45,000 TO 1,25,000 PER MONTH:
DR JITENDRA SINGH
Posted On: 12 FEB 2021 3:32PM by PIB Delhi
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr.Jitendra Singh said that in a far reaching reform regarding family pensions the upper ceiling has been raised from Rs 45,000 to Rs 1,25,000 per month. He said, the move will bring “Ease of Living” for the family members of the deceased employees and would provide adequate financial security to them. The Minister said that the Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) has issued clarification on the amount admissible in case a child is eligible to draw two family pensions after death of his /her parents. Dr Jitendra Singh said that the amount of both the family pensions will now be restricted to Rs 1,25,000 per month, which is more than two and half times higher than the earlier limit.
In accordance with sub-rule (11) of rule 54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules 1972, in case both wife and husband are Government servants and are governed by the provisions of that rule, on their death, the surviving child is eligible for two family pensions in respect of the deceased parents. Earlier instructions laid down that the total amountof two familypensions in such cases, shall not exceed to Rs 45,000/- per month andRs 27,000/- per month which were determined at the rate of 50% and 30%, respectively taking into account of the highest pay of Rs. 90,000/- as per 6th CPC recommendations.
Since the highest pay has been revised to Rs. 2,50,000 per month after the implementation of 7th CPC recommendations, therefore the amount prescribed in Rule 54(11) of CCS (Pension) Rules has also been revised to Rs 1,25,000/- per month being 50% of Rs.2,50,000/- and Rs 75000/- per month being 30% of Rs. 2,50,000/-.
The above clarification has been issued on the references received from various Ministry /Department. As per the existing rule, if parents are Government servants and one of the them dies while in service or after retirement, the family pension in respect of the deceased shall become payable to the surviving spouse and in the event of the death of the spouse, the surviving child shall be granted the two family pensions in respect of the deceased parents subject to fulfillment of other eligibility conditions.

कार्मिक, लोक शिकायत एवं पेंशन मंत्रालय
फैमिली पेंशन भुगतान की सीमा 45,000 रुपये से बढ़ाकर 1,25,000 रुपये प्रतिमाह की गई : डॉ. जितेन्द्र सिंह
Posted On: 12 FEB 2021 3:32PM by PIB Delhi
केन्द्रीय पूर्वोत्तर क्षेत्र विकास(स्वतंत्र प्रभार),कार्मिक, लोक शिकायत, पेंशन, परमाणु ऊर्जा और अंतरिक्ष मामलों के राज्य मंत्रीडॉ.जितेन्द्र सिंह ने कहा कि फैमिली पेंशन में सुधार किया गया है और उसके भुगतान कीसीमा 45,000 रुपये से बढ़ाकर 1,25,000 रुपये प्रतिमाह कर दी गई है। उन्होंने कहा कि इस कदम से स्वर्गवासी हो चुके कर्मचारियों के परिवार के सदस्यों का जीवन आसान हो जाएगा और उन्हें पर्याप्त वित्तीय सुरक्षा मिलेगी। डॉ. सिंह ने कहा कि पेंशन एवं पेंशनर कल्याण विभाग (डीओपीपीडब्ल्यू) ने उस राशि के मामले में स्पष्टीकरण जारी किया है, जिसमें अपने माता या पिता की मृत्यु हो जाने पर कोई बच्चा फैमिली पेंशन की दो किस्तें निकालने का हकदार होता है। डॉ. सिंह ने कहा कि अब ऐसी दो किस्तों की कुल राशि 1,25,000 से ज्यादा नहीं हो सकती। यह पिछली सीमा से ढ़ाई गुना अधिक की वृद्धि है।
केन्द्रीय सिविल सेवा (पेंशन) नियमन 1972 के नियम 54 के उपनियम 11 के अनुरूप, यदि पति और पत्नी दोनों ही सरकारी सेवा में हैं और इस नियम के तहत आते हैं, तो उनकी मौत की स्थिति में उनका जीवित बच्चा अपने माता-पिता की दो फैमिली पेंशन पाने के योग्य होगा। इससे पहले के निर्देशों में तय किया गया था कि ऐसे मामलों में दो फैमिली पेंशन की कुल राशि 45,000 रुपये प्रतिमाह और 27,000 रुपये प्रतिमाह, यानी क्रमश: 50 प्रतिशत और 30 प्रतिशत की दर से अधिक नहीं होगी। यह दर छठे वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों के अनुरूप 90,000 रुपये केअधिकतम वेतन के संदर्भ में तय की गई थी।
अब जबकि 7वें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों के अनुसार अधिकतम वेतन बढ़कर 2,50,000रुपये प्रतिमाह हो गया है, तोकेन्द्रीय सिविल सेवा पेंशन के नियम 54 (11) के अनुसार यह राशि 2,50,000 रुपये का 50 प्रतिशत यानी 1,25,000 रुपये और 2,50,000 रुपये का 30 प्रतिशत यानी 75,000 रुपये तय की गई है।
यह स्पष्टीकरणविभिन्न मंत्रालयों/विभागों से प्राप्त संदर्भों के मामले में जारी किया गया है। मौजूदा नियमों के अनुसार यदि किसी बच्चे के माता-पिता सरकारी सेवा में हैं और उनमें से एक की सेवाकाल में मृत्यु हो जाती है या वह सेवानिवृत्त हो जाते हैं तो स्वर्गवासी होने वाले व्यक्ति की फैमिली पेंशन उसके जीवित साथी को दी जाएगी और यदि उस साथी की भी मौत हो जाती है, तो जीवित बच्चे को, अपनी योग्यता साबित करने के बाद, अपने स्वर्गवासी माता-पिता दोनों की फैमिली पेंशन अदा की जाएगी
