All the Financial Advisors of various Ministries/Departments under the Central Government are aware that the recommendations of the Central Pay Commissions are not directly applicable in case of employees of Quasi-Government Organizations, Autonomous Organizations, Statutory Bodies set-up by and funded/controlled by the Central Government. Therefore, once the recommendations of the Central Pay Commissions are accepted and implemented by the Central Government in respect of Central Government employees, separate orders are issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, regarding extension of the orders applicable to the Central Government employees to the employees of Quasi-Government Organizations, Autonomous Organizations, Statutory Bodies set-up by and funded [controlled by the Central Government, based on the stipulations and conditions laid down therein. This was the practice adopted at the time of the 4th, 5th & 6th Pay Commissions. A reference is made to this Ministry’s OM No. 7/23/2008~E-IIIA dated 30.9.2008 issued at the time of 6th Central Pay Commission.

No orders have so far been issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure in regard to applicability of the orders issued by the Government regarding revised pay scales based on the 7th Central Pay Commission in respect of the employees of Quasi-Government Organizations, Autonomous Organizations, Statutory Bodies set-up by and funded/controlled by the Central Government. The matter is under consideration. As and when a decision is taken regarding applicability of the revised pay scales based on the 7th Central Pay Commission, as accepted by the Government in respect of the Central Government employees, in case of such employees, appropriate orders will be issued for its applicability in respect of employees of Quasi-Government Organizations, Autonomous Organizations, Statutory Bodies set-up by and funded/controlled by the Central Government. Till such time, revised pay scales shall not be extended in respect of such employees.

COMMENTS
Dear Krishnanji,Kindly refer to the confederation letter to the Government regarding release of dearness relief to the central autonomous bodies.So far the same has not been released much to the agony of the hapless pensioners.Matters where any policy decision is not involved also are not moving for the reasons best known to them.This Government has no sympathy to the senior citizens who are at the twilight of their lives.KIndly pursue more vigorously as this is a smaller issue than the implementation of 7th cpc and going to benefit the pensioners both physically and mentally.
Sri M Krishnan, Secretary General has written to me that he has taken up the matter with the government regarding sanction of dearness relief due from July 16 to Central autonomous bodies and also written a letter to the government to this effect which will be published in the confederation website.We all should be grateful to him and give full support to him.
Is there any precedence where dearness allowance is sanctioned but at the same time dearness relief is not sanctioned?Did we ever see such gross injustice before?Is it because the poor,aged and infirm pensioners of the central autonomous bodies have no voice?Our honourable PM may not be aware of this.Otherwise he would not allow such things to happen.
Why's nobody talking about dearness relief to the pensioners of the autonomous bodies w.e.f 1-7-2016,when employees are given DA ?Don't we need DR increase?
Any genuine reason for the unprecedented denial / undue delay in extending of the Pay/ Pension Revision 2016 to Autonomous Bodies. PRIME MINISTER / FINANCE MINISTER MAY PLEASE BE STRAIGHT FORWARD RATHER THAN BEATING AROUND THE BUSH IN THIS ISSUE.
These are good days for pensioners of CG funded autonomous bodies.
I do not understand the cause of long delay in implementation of 7th pay commission recommendation to the pensioner of autonomous labs like CSIR. Hope good days will be welcome by us soon.
