Sixth Pay Commission: Excise, Customs men up in arms against pay panel 'anomalies'
Sixth Pay Commission: Excise, Customs men up in arms against pay panel 'anomalies'
New Delhi (PTI): Peeved by the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, superintendents of Central Excise and Customs have decided to stage a protest before Parliament on September 16 to press for higher pay scale and better promotional avenues.
"The reason behind it (the protest) is the apathetic and indifferent attitude of the authorities concerned in matters of promotion, pay scale, working condition, staff position etc," the All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers (Delhi unit) said in a statement on Thursday.
The government has already notified the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, which will put a burden of over Rs 23,000 crore on the government coffers during the current financial year.
The Association has alleged that compared to employees in other cadres, the promotional opportunities are far less for inspectors and superintendents engaged in collection of indirect taxes like Central Excise, Customs, Service Tax, Inland Air Travel Tax and Foreign Travel Tax.
It further said the Sixth Pay Commission has failed to address their grievance of equity with the employees working in other departments like Central Bureau of Investigation, Intelligence Bureau, police etc.
The income tax inspectors, officers, examiners and appraisers have better promotional opportunities, while the Central Excise superintendents retires as superintendents, despite being recruited through the same competitive examinations, the statement said.

IndiGo beats Air Deccan as largest low-cost airline
IndiGo beats Air Deccan as largest low-cost airline
September 12, 2008, 0:08 IST
IndiGo, the Delhi-based, low-cost carrier, has ended Air Deccan’s five-year reign as the largest low-cost carrier in the industry. The change took place in August, just before full-service carrier Kingfisher Airlines erased the Air Deccan brand.
Air Deccan, which was renamed Simplifly Deccan after the merger with Kingfisher last year, is now called Kingfisher Red.
According to the data released by the civil aviation ministry today, IndiGo’s market share is 10.3 per cent, while that of Air Deccan trailed behind at 10.2 per cent.
Last month, Air Deccan was still the largest low-cost carrier, accounting for 11.3 per cent of the market, while IndiGo had a market share of 10.5 per cent.
The decline in Air Deccan’s market share has widened the gap between the market share of the Deccan-Kingfisher combine and the Jet-Jet Lite combine in August.
Building on the July trend, during which the Jet-Jet Lite combine had reinforced its position as the largest Indian carrier in terms of passengers, the carriers had a combined market share of 33.5 per cent, while the Kingfisher-Deccan combine was far behind at 25 per cent in August.
The change in dynamics, which ousted Air Deccan as the market leader among LCCs, primarily happened due to a change in the load factors of the airlines.
According to the ministry figures, Air Deccan had the lowest loads of 39 per cent in August, while IndiGo managed to garner the industry average load of 62 per cent.
“Another reason for this (change in market share) was that apart from the capacity cut already announced by Air Deccan for the summer schedule, Kingfisher had started selling a lot of Air Deccan’s inventory (seats) under its own brand right from July. So an Air Deccan ticket would be booked under Kingfisher’s ticket code, but passengers would actually be booking tickets for and travelling on an Air Deccan flight. This showed that Kingfisher was deploying more capacity than it actually did,” said Mohit Srivastava, the head of online sales of travel portal Makemytrip.com.
According to their revised schedules submitted to the civil aviation ministry in June, Air Deccan accounted for around 10 per cent of the capacity cuts, while those for Kingfisher were 4 per cent.

Maha 6th Pay Commission, President of India given 300% pay hike
Maha 6th Pay Commission, President of India given 300% pay hike
By Khabrein.Info News Desk,
New Delhi, Sept 11, 2008: Call it maha 6th Pay Commission. The President of India has been given 300% pay hike. President Pratibha Patil who received Rs 50000 salary will now get an astronomical Rs 150000 as her monthly salary.
The Vice President and governors have also been given hefty hikes. Now Vice President of India Hamid Ansari will receive a monthly salary of Rupees 125000 while governors will get a monthly paycheck of rupees 110000.
The decision was taken in a meeting of cabinet committee on economic affairs and was chaired by none other than Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
The hefty pay hike in the salary of president, vice president and governors come shortly after approximately 25 percent pay hike of central government employees.
The wage hike of central government employees would increase the financial implication for the Centre by Rs 17,798 crore annually and the arrears with effect from January 2006 would cost Rs 29,373 crore, Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi told reporters after the Cabinet meeting. The financial implication of Pay Commission on the General Budget would be Rs 15,717 crore and Rs 6414 crore on Railway Budget in 2008-09. The government’s present salary bill is over Rs 70,000 crore and the pension bill is over Rs 30,000 crore.
Last month the Union Cabinet gave its approval for implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission. The revised pay scales will come into effect from 1/1/2006 and revised rates of allowances from 1/9/2008. The Cabinet has also decided that arrears will be paid in cash in two instalments – first instalment of 40% during the current year (2008-09) and the remaining 60% in the next financial year (2009-10).
The minimum Basic Pay for a Government servant has been increased to Rs.7000 from Rs.6660 recommended by the Sixth CPC. Consequently, the total emoluments of an employee at the lowest level will exceed Rs.10,000 p.m., including allowances.
Almost everything that the President does or wants to do is taken care of by the annual Rs 22.5-crore budget that the Government allots for his upkeep.

ICC awards: BCCI happy over ICC awards to Dhoni, Yuvraj
ICC awards: BCCI happy over ICC awards to Dhoni, Yuvraj
Thursday, September 11, 2008 : 1545 Hrs
Mumbai (PTI): The BCCI on Thursday expressed happiness over the ICC annual awards won by Indian players Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh while adding it expected Ishant Sharma too to join the ranks of the award winners.
"We are happy that two Indian players received the ICC's annual awards, particularly Mahendra Singh Dhoni who had an outstanding season. We thought that probably (young pacer) Ishant Sharma would also get the Emerging Player honour, but it did not happen," said BCCI's CAO Ratnakar Shetty.
Dhoni was named the ODI Player of the Year and Yuvraj won the Twenty20 International Performance of the Year Award. Dhoni beat back tough competition from team-mate Sachin Tendulkar, Australian fast bowler Nathan Bracken and Pakistan stalwart Mohammad Yousuf to take the prestigious award.
During the voting period, the swashbuckling wicket keeper-batsman played 39 ODIs and scored 1,298 runs at an average of 49.92 and at a strike rate of 82.46. He also hit a century and nine fifties.
Yuvraj was deservedly honoured for his stupendous six sixes in an over off England pacer Stuart Broad in the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship won by India in South Africa last year.
But the gangling Sharma lost out to Sri Lanka's spin sensation Ajantha Mendis who bagged the Emerging Player honour at the annual ICC awards function held in Dubai.
