The successful launch was a morale booster for ISRO which helps
commercial launches using the GSLV and even prepare for a proposed
Chandrayaan 2 mission in the days to come.
Highlights of India's GSLV D5's mission
1) GSLV-D5 launched 1982 Kg GSAT-14, a communication satellite, into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).

GSLV-D5 is the eighth flight of India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch
Vehicle (GSLV). It is also the fourth developmental flight of GSLV.
4) During this flight, the indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS) was flight tested for the second time.
5) The flight duration of GSLV-D5 was 17 min 8 sec.
6)
GSLV D5's mission was aborted at the eleventh hour on August 19 last
year due to a fuel leak in its second stage. ISRO stopped the countdown
74 minutes ahead of the scheduled launch at 1650 hours after noticing
the leakage.
7) After reaching GTO, GSAT-14 will use its own propulsion system to reach its geostationary orbital home.
8) GSAT-14 is the twenty third geostationary communication satellite of India built by ISRO.
9)
Four of GSAT-14's predecessors were launched by GSLV during 2001, 2003,
2004 and 2007 respectively. After its commissioning, GSAT-14 will join
the group of India's nine operational geostationary satellites.
10)

Some Points / Suggestions for VII th pay commission
It is proposed
to give a memorandum to the Chairman of the VII th pay commission our
suggestion on the following points, hence it is invited from the colleagues
more suggestion to incorporate in the
memorandum.
Since 1946, six
pay commissions had been constituted to review and recommend the pay structure
of the Central Government Employees. The pay commissions have taken many
aspects into consideration to prescribe the pay structure. Some mile stones are
i)
Living wage
ii)
Need-based wage
iii)
Proper pay package
Generally, the
pay commission will analyse all the aspects including the economic situation of
the country, financial resources of the government, comparison with public
sector, private sector and state government pay structure.
It is observed
an interesting factor which is common to all the past pay commission
recommendations, particularly in the matter of percentage of increase in the
pay. Average 3 times increase in the pay commission recommended by each pay
commission and it was implemented.
The proposed pay
commission prefer to continue the same running pay band and grade pay system
the revised pay structure may like as below.

The 6 th Pay
commission introduce a new method of giving annual increment in 1st
July and employees completing six months and above in the scale as on July 1st
will eligible for increment.
It is suggested
instead of 1st July if it is as 1st Jan the problem of
Feb to June and also the increment earned for 6 months qualifying service having
the punishment of 6 months increment withheld of the punishment having no
effect also solved .The full increment will be earned after completion of one
year only.
The pay in the revised scale should be
fixed to both those in either in substantive or officiating post on 01.01.2016.
The next increment will be on 01.01.2017.
If those who
are having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be
given as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced
for full completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on
01.01.2017 which is beneficial to the official without any postponement of
increment from 01.01.2017.
Those who are
promoted on 01.01.2016 the pay in the pre-revised scale should be fixed on
01.01.2016 and 3% increment should be given for promotion with next grade pay.
The increment
for promotion having higher responsibility should be minimum 10% (deputation
allowance is 10% and teaching allowance 15%) for not involving higher
responsibility it may be 3% . For MACP either it may be 3% increase only or a
separate intermediately grade pay to be introduced for getting 10% increase.
The promotion is not attractive meagre amount of increase in Pay and even in
drop in emoluments when promoted to station from 30% station to 20% station.
Those who are
promoted after 01.01.2016 the next increment will be on 01.01.2017 only but at
proportionate rate.
Eg: if promoted on 02.02.2016
then his next increment on 01.01.2017 at 2.75%(3*11/12%)
ie 0.25% to be reduced per month.
If those who are
having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be given
as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced for full
completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on
01.01.2017 which is beneficial to the
official.
The same will be
adopted for retirement cases also.
Those who are
retiring between Jan to June even though
they are having more than six months qualifying service they are not eligible
for increment but those who are retiring on or after July and having only six
months qualifying service will earn increment on 01.07. This also can be
removed by adopting the same analogy as mentioned above by giving proportionate
increment.
If this will be recommended it will be
another mile stone in the recommendation of pay commission.
For example those who are retiring in
between Feb to June they will get a proportionate increment @0.25% per month
and it will give some benefit to the retiring employee.
Nowadays, any organized sector or corporate
sector welcoming the cashless treatment nearby residence. Hence, instead of
Medical Attendance Rules, it is better to provide Health Insurance coverage to
all employees with their family on recovering Rs300/= per month as CGHS
recovery and provide Insurance coverage to all employees. Nowadays only 20 -30%
employees only enjoying the benefit under MA rules but this scheme will cover
all the employees.
The yearly
contribution by all Central Government employees will touch the amount of Rs 1326
crores by 3684543 employees if it becomes 2 times (ie Rs 600) in 7th
Pay Commission the amount will be Rs 2652 crores but the expenditure on
reimbursement of medical claims shows 50% of the above amount for the past 3
years.

If health insurance provided, the fear on
health will reduce and will give hope on living and on department welfare.

Bank Unions to go on two-day strike from January 20
The United Forum of Bank Unions ( UBFU) have called a strike on January
20 and 21, 2014. Around two lakh employees of Rural Bank have also
announced to extend their support in the two-day strike.
Scores of bank employees representing 30 bank unions staged a
demonstration during the day in front of Punjab National Bank, Birhana
Road branch on Monday. Addressing to the bank employees, secretary UP
Bank Employees Union, Sudhir Sonkar claimed that the tenth wage revision
was due since November 1, 2012 whereas UFBU and Indian Bank Association
had convened six rounds of talks and only two points - effective date
of wage revision and merger of dearness allowance with 444 consumer
price index - were agreed upon.
Sudhir told the demonstrators that institutional expenses of banks
amounted to Rs 56,292 crore on March 31, 2012 and that the Indian Bank
Association had proposed to enhance the salary at the rate of 5 percent
i.e to give Rs 1,575 crore before the December 18 strike.
The banks were under stress due to the rise in pension cost and bad
debts therefore they could not propose for higher wage revision IBA had
claimed. Sonkar claimed that bank's plea did not have any base for
protest as they had earned a gross profit of Rs 1,16,458 crore and after
deducting the bad debts they had cornered a net profit of Rs 48,780
crore. Therefore, pleas that banks were bearing the burden of rising
inflation and pension service was wrong whereas, the real reason was bad
debts in which industrial houses had abstained from repaying loans.
Bank employees were not responsible for that. Banks had given around
17.5 percent benefit to its employees by releasing Rs 48.18 crore in the
ninth wage revision. Thereafter, an enhancement of 5 percent in wage
revision was not called for.
Rajneesh Gupta, president of union, stated that the Central government
was busy in framing policies which were not in the interest of the
banking industry. The government was proposing to pass the management in
the hands of private sector, issuing licenses to industrial houses for
opening banks, giving permission to foreign banks to over take Indian
banks , giving more relief to debtors, and putting loans of corporate
sectors in bad debts. He demanded that strict measures must be taken to
recover bad debts and bring all the private and foreign banks under the
ambit of public sector banking.

Expected DA from Jan 2014 - Additional DA from Jan 2014 likely to hike by 11%
Expected DA from Jan 2014 - Additional DA from Jan 2014 likely to hike by 11%
The one more and another additional Dearness allowance to Central
Government employees and Pensioners from Jan 2014 will be announced in
the middle of March 2014.
This is too early and predict the enhancement in percentage of Dearness
allowance with effect from January 2014. The prediction and announcement
of this hike make us cool, that the additional DA will jump to 101% and
another word, an additional DA would be 11%.
But, still we have to wait for one more month, that the magic number of
AICPIN would be increased by 3% and more..! From the existing level of
the AICPIN is now 243, if it becomes 246 in end of December 2013, out
prediction will be right…or otherwise certainly we would cross century
in total Dearness allowance…
The table describes the prediction of additional DA from Jan 2014…
| Month | Year | AICPIN (IW) BY 2001=100 | Points Increasing in AICPIN | Total | Average | App. DA | DA |
| Jun | 2013 | 231 | 3 | 2648 | 220.67 | 90.62 | 90 |
| Jul | 2013 | 235 | 4 | 2671 | 222.58 | 92.28 | |
| Aug | 2013 | 237 | 2 | 2694 | 224.5 | 93.93 | |
| Sep | 2013 | 238 | 1 | 2717 | 226.42 | 95.59 | |
| Oct | 2013 | 241 | 3 | 2741 | 228.42 | 97.32 | |
| Nov | 2013 | 243 | 2 | 2766 | 230.5 | 99.12 | |
