RETIREMENT AND PENSION ?


RETIREMENT AND PENSION ?

The news in Financial Express :  Reducing the retirement age would be really worrying to aging central government employees if it is true. One of the leading financial daily in India has in its website reported that Central Government is considering a proposal that aims to reduce retirement of age of central government employees from 60 years to 58 years.

Central Government Employees have seen the increase in retirement age from 55 to 58 in the year 1962 and from 58 years to 60 years in the year 1998, but reduction of retirement age has no precedence .Though it is practically possible to show the employees the door, who are between 58 years to 60 years and who are nearing 58 years, such employees would be much affected emotionally apart from financial loss.
Text of Financial Express’s report is as follows.
In a move that would help curb the relentless increase in the Centre’s non-Plan spending and ease the way for infusion of more young blood and professionalism into the country’s largely moribund bureaucracy, the Narendra Modi government is planning to reduce the retirement age of central government employees from the present 60 to 58.
The move that comes at a time when the Seventh Pay Commission is mulling another sharp boost to the pay structure of the Centre’s 5-million-strong workforce is also aimed at creating the requisite space for lateral entry of technically qualified professionals into the government, official sources told to Financial Express.
The retirement age was last revised in 1998, when the then NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee raised it from 58 to 60 years. The last UPA government had reportedly considered enhancing the retirement age further to 62 just before the general elections, but dropped the move.
The superannuation age was increased from 55 to 58 way back in 1962.
The total wage and salaries bill of the central government, excluding PSUs but including the railways, rose sharply between 2008 and 2010 due to the revised pay scales (along with payment of arrears) implemented as per the Sixth Pay Commission’s proposals.
The wage bill rose from Rs 1.09 lakh crore in 2007-08 to Rs 1.4 lakh crore in 2008-09, and further to Rs 1.7 lakh crore in 2009-10, before the growth moderated to Rs 1.84 lakh crore in 2010-11. The government spent Rs 2.54 lakh crore in wages and salaries in 2013-14. The railways (with 1.4 million employees), defence (civil), home affairs, India Post and revenue account for more than 80% of the total spending of the Centre on pays and allowances.
According to Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at CARE Ratings, reducing the retirement age will give the government an opportunity to outsource more jobs, including by bringing in people as temporary consultants, who will then have to be paid only a fixed salary but not pension or provident fund. Their salary component will then show up as administrative costs, rather than as wage bill
The finance ministry is weighing the pros and cons of the proposal to cut the retirement age. The move, sources said, is also in line with the BJP’s manifesto, which had promised to rationalise and converge ministries, departments and other arms of the government, open up government to draw expertise from industry, academia and society and tap the services of the youth in particular to contribute to governance.
The Madan Sabnavis report is focusing only on the economy of the country and not considering the employees welfare and their mental health on sudden retirement. Psychiatric morbidity is an important issue for all retirees. The younger people who retire are at greater risk of psychiatric morbidity.(Retirement and mental health by Dr Farooq Khan MD) For the past two decays the Central Government employees having in mind that the retirement age is 60. Sudden reduction of retirement age will give a risk of psychiatric morbidity.
According to census 2011 the life expectancy is 66.7 years and showing a increase of 4 years than that of earlier census. Life expectancy is the most important demographic indicator because it is linked to the adequacy of the retirement age. The life expectancy now is more than that of earlier period the retirement age should also be more. 
In the report on extending coverage of NPS in India prepared by Simone Stelten, Hertie School of Governance recommending the following .
As a result of the Demograhic transition there is a rising demand for oldage security, particularly of women. The choice for an internationall used retirement age of 60 years of age would be reasonable considering the raidly raising life expectancy.
The retirement ages in some of the countries.
§  Austria - 65
§  Belgium - 65
§  Denmark - 65
§  France - 65 (extending from 62 to 67 years over an 8-year period)
§  Germany - 67
§  Greece - 65
§  Italy - 60
§  Netherlands - 65 (67 for women)
§  Norway - 67
§  Spain - 65 (increasing over the coming years to 67)
§  Sweden - 65
§  Switzerland - 65 (64 for women)
§  United Kingdom - 68
§  United States - 67
The various studies reveal that the projected rate of retiree is nearly than 3% every year. If the retirement age becomes 58 the rate of retiree will be more than 10% and it is a great burden to the Government. The Government should provide some period to prepare mentally to retire before the age of 60 years which was in the mind of the all employees.  
Lastly , if Government wishes to reduce the age of retirement to 58 it is better to get the opinion of the employees by  voting this scheme by online.
Another, an  unconfirmed socking news that the Central Government wishes to stop the Pension to all the employees of the central government which covers  56 percent of GDP and it will grow 100 percent in another 25 years as the life expectancy is growing rapidly.
Notwithstanding the limited size and scope, India has a long tradition of pension and other forms of formal old age income support system. The history of the Indian pension system dates back to the colonial period of British-India. The Royal Commission on Civil Establishments, in 1881, first awarded pension benefits to the government employees. The Government of India Acts of 1919 and 1935 made further provisions. These schemes were later consolidated and expanded to provide retirement benefits to the entire public sector working population. Post independence, several provident funds were set up to extend coverage among the private sector workers

The 2009–10 budget estimated a total outflow of Rs.484 billion (approximately US$10 billion or 1% of GDP) on pensions and retirement benefits of central government employees (GoI 2009b). State government expenditure on pensions stood at Rs.1003.5 billion3 (approximately US$22.5 billion) in 2009–10 (RBI 2010). The outflows are expected to rise as the cohort of hires between the 1970s and 1990s retires. Bhardwaj and Dave (2005) estimated that the implicit pension debt on account of the civil service pension worked out to roughly 56 percent of GDP, It was therefore felt that the country was spending a disproportionate amount of money on a small set of the population, which was relatively better off to begin with.
Improvement in life expectancy and decline in fertility rate are leading to a significant change in the population age structure. The old age population (aged 60 years or more) has risen from about 19.8 million in 1951 to 56.7 million in 1991, resulting in an increase of the proportion of the elderly in the total population from 5.5 to 6.9 percent. According to the World Bank (1994a) estimates, the percentage of old people is expected to rise further to 10.3% by 2020. In absolute terms, the number of elderly citizens is anticipated to nearly double between 1996 and 2016, from 62.3 million to 112.9 million. Hence the liabilities under pension will increase enormousely.
There has been a fourfold increase in the number of pensioners from 0.27 million in 1984 to 1.05 million in 1999-2000. As a result, pension payment by the Indian Railways has increased 50-fold from Rs.1060 million in 1980-81 to Rs. 53120 million in 1999-2000.
It is suggested to give a lumpsum amount(Golden Hand Shake) to the retiree at the age of 58 as calculated below.
v A three times of cent percent commutation pension
v Usual DCRG
v Usual leave encashment
v No pension either to employee or his/her family
v The DCRG & Leave encashment to be paid in cash at the time of retirement.
v An example is given in Table A
Here an employee drawing Rs 20000/= (PAY+GP) and retiring at the age of 58 on 01/2015 is taken. If,he is getting a pension of Rs10000/= p.m  and getting pension for a period of 20 years to the tune of Rs7285010/= including 40% of commutation with an average of pension of Rs 344000/=.
The amount so calculated above (Golden Hand Shake) will come to the tune of Rs30,00,000/=

The amount so calculated will earn interest less than the pension he will get under pension rules 1972. it is shown in Table B with a formula of 21.6p.cf/100 where p= original pension cf =commutation factor with proportion of number of years completed.
The amount on Golden Hand shake will be deposited in Postal Bank (there is a proposal ) for a period of 10 years in the name of the retiree.  
It will create more fund for the bank and it will be utilized for loan purpose and will earn more interest than provided for deposit.

A post office in Kerala which 'delivers' mails to God


Sabarimala (Kerala): It is a unique post office, and one of its main tasks is to deliver letters to God. Located near the famed Hindu temple at the Sabarimala hills, the post office may perhaps be the only one in the country which does not work round the year. It comes alive when the peak pilgrimage season of the Ayyappa shrine begins on the first day of the Malayalam month in November, and the period ends towards the middle of January.

The post office is also open for 10 days during the Vishu season. Functioning six days a week from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, the six employees, led by 23-year-old Sai G Prakash, have a lot to do. Prakash is happy to be here, and says he was a devotee of Lord Ayyappa.

"Our post office mostly gets invitation cards for weddings and shop openings addressed to Lord Ayyappa, obviously to seek divine blessings," Prakash said.

The post office is also open for 10 days during the Vishu season. Functioning six days a week from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, the six employees, led by 23-year-old Sai G Prakash, have a lot to do.
Most such mails come from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, he said. But the three letter boxes kept in the temple complex get more than post cards and envelopes. Every morning, the staff find scores of identity cards and wallets too in them.

"We make it a point to mail these cards to the individuals concerned," Prakash said. The employees often spend their own money to do this. "Since this season began, I have posted close to 20 PAN cards to the income tax office."

Police say all this is the work of pickpockets who operate in the temple town -- crowded during the pilgrimage season. The criminals pocket the money from the wallets and dump the cards -- and wallets -- in the post boxes.

Situated in the mountain ranges of the Western Ghats at 914 metres above sea level, the Sabarimala temple is four kilometres uphill from Pamba in Pathanamthitta district, around 100 km from Thiruvananthapuram.

The temple is accessible only on foot from Pamba. During the last pilgrimage season, more than 4.5 million devotees visited the shrine. This season the authorities expect a 10 percent increase.

A feature of the post office is the special pictorial cancellation stamp of the 18 steps that led to the Lord Ayyappa shrine. "Some devotees come and buy covers or cards and write their own address and post them here," said Prakash. "This is their souvenir."

The post office helps pilgrims to post 'appom' and 'aravana' (the temple prasad). It also sells mobile recharge coupons.

Of the six employees, three walk down the hill daily carrying the outgoing mail on their heads. When they walk up, they carry bags of mail -- mostly addressed to Lord Ayyappa. "Overall we enjoy what we do here," said Prakash. "We are very happy we got this posting.

Yes. As per rule, only one Half withdrawal ie Loan is allowed in the entire life term of RD account ie 60 months if the account satisfies the eligibility conditions.
(xv) Why Default fee is displayed even after paying the current month deposit?
This is common complaint made by Post Offices. In Finacle there is no concept of “PAID FOR THE MONTH OF” like in Sanchay Post. From account open date to current month, number of months will be calculated and if the number of months paid is less than the number of months to be paid, then system will consider it as DEFAULT. In case if there are gaps in between ie intermittent gaps in sanchay post ie for eg - 3 intermittent defaults, Finacle will push all the deposits and last three months will be shown as default even though the current month deposit has been made. Therefore, ask the customer to pay first for the defaulted month.
(xvi) How Default fee is calculated in Finacle?
In Finacle Default fee will be calculated as per the new Default Fee structure as per recently modified rate ie 5 paisa for every 5 rupees and Re.1/- for Rs.100/- deposit instead of Rs.2/-
(xvii) Can the current month deposit be paid without paying the defaulted instalment or without paying the default fee?
No. Current month deposit cannot be paid without paying the defaulted instalment. Default fee also cannot be waived. Only in case of Maturity deferred cases, defaulted instalments can be paid without default fee in the deferred period.
(xviii)  Error “A time stamp error occurred” during RD account closure?
This is happening due to Verification pending for some modification made in the respective account. Verify the account by invoking the menu CRDACM by supervisor and then proceed for closure.
(xix)  Error “Parent record does not exist for the record 0000123456” during bulk posting by invoking the menu HAGTXP.
This happening due to following reason:-
When single cheque is given for multiple RD accounts,
(a) cheque number will be available in first record under the field “CHEQUE NO. FOR RD INSTALMENT” in HAGTXP menu.
(b) For all other accounts linked to this cheque, the cheque number will be available in the field “CHEQUE Remarks”
(c) Ready for Posting flag should not be removed for the record which has “Cheque No. for RD instalment” (a) If this record is removed, balance records will fail with above error.
Solution
The above error occurs when the balance is not zero for the loan account. This means that payoff has not been done for the account. Please complete the payoff process and then close the loan account

(xxi) Error P39 coming in RD loan account payoff done through cash receipt

This error will be thrown in offices migrated in the middle of the month. (ie on or after 2nd)
In case of Loan Disbursement or Loan Repayment, the value date will be automatically changed to 01st of the month as interest is calculated from the 1st of the month for loans. As Cash account of that office will not be available as on 1st (since the office has migrated in the middle of the month) this error is thrown in Supervisor while verification. This error will be thrown only in the month of migration and from 2nd month cash mode can be used for repayment or disbursement.
Workaround to overcome this error
“In case of Loan disbursement – Instead of Cash (even if it is below Rs.20,000) select Transfer and show RD Loan Disbursement office account (Account number ending with 323) and pay by cheque or cash from this office account. ( CTM menu is to be used for this )
In case of Loan repayment – Instead of repaying through cash accept loan repayment through Transfer. Transfer can be from RD Loan Repayment office Account (Account number ending with 323) or SB account of customer (if available) (CTM Menu to be used for this).
(xxii) Why RD SI executing after EOD of 15th?
While configuring standing instructions of SB to RD, option should be selected as (B) i.e.  After change of Date. Otherwise, SI execution will happen after EOD of 15th.

(xxiii) How to execute RD Trial Closure:-

For invoking Trial Closure of RD account, user has to invoke CRDAAC menu. Select, trial closure and go to HPR to see amount to be paid after closure.
Customer should be told about the amount of interest and if he agrees, fill up amount in SB7A and get the signatures of customer on receipt portion. After that, actual closure should be invoked.
In case, SB7A is received from BO alongwith Passbook for sanction, amount of principle and interest should be entered on the Warrant of Payment Side under signatures of APM/SPM and a remark on the top of the SB7A should be written as "Sanction Valid till last working day of the month only". Other procedure as laid down in BO Procedure document should be followed
(xxv) Issue Reported : When the user tried to invoke HAGTXP menu in Modify mode, an error is displayed asInvalid Agent Type and Scheme Code Combination.

Solution : SAS type of Agents do not have access to post RD bulk posting. The Agent Type for that particular Agent ID needs to be modified as either PRS or MPB in HDSAMM menu. Post this modification, user will be able to do posting in HAGTXP menu. Appropriate Agent ID need to be modified as the commission structure differs for both.
