Revision of the classification/up gradation certain cities/towns on the basis of Census-2011 for the purpose of grant of House Rent Allowance and Transport Allowance to Central Government employees 

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has given its approval to the proposal of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure for reclassification/upgradation of certain cities/towns on the basis of Census-2011, for the purpose of grant of House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Transport Allowance to Central Government employees.

On the basis of the final population figures of Census-2011, two cities have qualified for being upgraded from 'Y' class to 'X' class and 21 cities have qualified for being upgraded from 'Z' to 'Y' class for the purpose of HRA. Six cities have qualified for being upgraded from "Other Places" to specified higher class for the purpose of Transport Allowance.

The revised classification of cities shall take effect from 01.04.2014. The impact on the exchequer on account of up gradation of 29 cities, would be approx. Rs.128 crore for the year 2014-15.

Background:

HRA and Transport Allowance are admissible to Central Government employees depending upon employees' Basic Pay (including NPA where applicable)/Grade Pay and the classification of the city/town where they are posted. The existing classification of cities/towns in different classes viz. 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' for the purpose of HRA and 13 specified cities classified earlier as 'A-1'/ 'A' and "Other Places" for the purpose of Transport Allowance, is as per the criterion recommended by the 6^th Central Pay Commission. The existing qualifying limits of population for classification for HRA purpose is 50 lakhs & above for 'X', 5 - 50 lakhs for 'Y' and below 5 lakhs for 'Z' class city. Transport allowance is payable at 'higher rates' in 13 specified cities classified earlier as 'A-1' / 'A' (that is those cities having population of 20 lakhs & above) and at 'lower rates' in all other places.

The classification of cities/towns for this purpose is revised on the basis of their population as reflected in the decennial census report. The existing classification of various cities/towns is based on 2001 Census figures. The criterion of population for this purpose has been followed as recommended by the Central Pay Commissions.

Meeting with PMG (SB Region) & PMG (Kol Region)

On 08.05.2015 at 4.10pm, I met with PMG, SB Region, Sri PM Lal, in his chamber at Yogayog Bhawan, Kolkata in presence of Sri Rajeev Umrao, DPS SB Region and discussed the irregularities as done in the RT Memo 2015 of Bankura Division. I also informed the problems relating to the divisions of -Purulia, Asansol, Midnapore, North Hooghly, Contai and other divisions in SB Region. Both the PMG & DPS assured to see the matter very heartily as soon as possible.

Further, I personally met with Sri Subrat Das, PMG, Kol Region on the same day in his chamber at 4.45pm and had a very good discussion about half an hour for the problems of our members in the division of - Murshidabad, GPO, Alipore, Barasat, South Nadia, North Kolkata, South Kolkata, South Presidency, Central Kolkata, Barabazar etc. In the discussion the PMG assured his best co-operation for taking appropriate steps.

Meeting with Chief PMG for direct Recruit PA/SA Cadre

On 08.05.2015 I alonwith Sri Debnath Paul, CS-NURMS, Gr.C and Sri Anjan Kr. Sarkar, CS-Administrative Union (FNPO) met with Ch. PMG, Smt. Arundhaty Ghosh in her chamber, Yogayog Bhawan, Kolkata at about 5.35pm and had discussed the problems relating to the newly recruited PA/SA Cadre whose appointments throughout the Country are kept in-abeyance till further order vide Postal Dte, New Delhi Order No. A-34013/05/2014-DE dated 27.04.2015. The matter was earlier taken up with the Ch. PMG vide our letter dated 29.04.2015. The Ch. PMG assured us for taking up the matter with Dte. again for early redressal.

Further, the said matter was also taken up earlier with the Secretary (Posts) at New Delhi on 29^th & 30^th April, 2015 by our General Secretary, Sri D. Kishan Rao and Sri D. Theagarajan, Secretary General-FNPO. Postal Dte. assured our CHQ Leaders to see the matter for redressal as early as possible.

Now, we feel that the Left Oriented Circle Trade Union Leaders are trying to misguide the innocent, newly recruited PA/SA candidates unnecessarily gathering them in Yogayog Bhawan on 08.05.2015 for which the Ch. PMG is very much annoyed the activities of the said Leaders stating that when the entire matter is pending with Postal Dte, New Delhi at the same time assembling the newly selected PA/SA candidates before the Ch. PMG is meaningless and useless. The tactics of the said Leaders is nothing but a eye -wash gathering/movement and it is also a part of motivated drama as seen in last year‘s occasions.

The newly selected PA/SA candidates are informed that our FNPO group of Union Leaders are in close task to set right the matter from the Postal Dte. at the earliest. They are also requested not to believe the Left Oriented Trade Union Leaders.
