Clarification on crucial date of determination of age of 56 years for induction into AIS

F.No.14015/30/2015-AIS-I
Government of India
Ministry of personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Departments of Personnel and Training
North block, New Delhi
Dated the 20th March, 2015
Office Memorandum
Subject: Clarification on crucial date of determination of age of 56 years for induction into AIS and its applicability with reference to the year of select list-regarding
The undersigned is directed to refer to the subject cited above and to say that on the direction of Hon’ble Supreme Court, and in consultation with Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of home affairs, ministry of environment and forest, UPSC and the state Governments, the central government has decided to raise maximum age limit from 54 years to 56 years for promotion/induction from state service/Non-state Civil Service to All India Service with effect from the Select List of 2015 with crucial date of determination of age as 01.01.2015. In order to implement this decision, this Department has issued four notifications dated 17.03.2015 amending the following date of their publication in the official gazette:-
(i) Regulation 5 (3) of Indian Administrative Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955;
(ii) Regulation 5 (3) of Indian police service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955;
(iii) Regulation 5 (3) of Indian Forest Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1966; and
(iv) Proviso 1 below Regulation 4(1)(iii) of Indian Administrative Service (Appointment by Selection) Regulation, 1997
2. Further, as decided by the Government, anomaly in Non-SCS Select List vis-à-vis SCS Select List for the vacancies arising during the same year has been removed through OM dated 17.3.2015. As per this OM, for the Vacancies arising during the period 1.1.2014 to 31.12.2014, the select list of Non-SCS officers will be styled as Selected List-2014-A instead of Selected List 2015. The select list of SCS officers had already been styled coinciding with the year of the vacancies from the year 2010, after the clarificatory OM dated 25.08.2010. Thus, for the vacancies arising during the year 2015 (between 1.1.2015 to 31.12.2015), the Select List for both SCS officers as well as Non-SCS officers will be styled as Select List-2015.
3. Now, for the benefit of all stakeholders, it is clarified that the above amendments are applicable for the Select Lists of 2015 (vacancies arising between 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2015) and onwards with crucial date for determination of age as 1 st January of that Select List year. For example, for the Select List of 2015, the upper age limit for consideration will be 56 years with crucial date for determination of age as 01.01.2015.
4 In so far as the Select Lists of State Service/Non-State Civil Service officers of 2014/2014-A to be prepared for the vacancies arisen between 1.1.2014 to 31.12.2014 are concerned, the same would be prepared in accordance with the regulations existing in 2014. In other words, up-to the Select Lists of 2014/2014-A, the maximum age limit for consideration for induction into AIS would be 54 years and the same would be reckoned as on 1st January of the respective Select List year.
5(i). For further clarity, for example, 10 and 2 vacancies arose during 01.01 .2014 to 31.12 2014 in West Bengal cadre in the SCS and Non-SCS category respectively. The Select List for SCS officers would be styled as Select List 2014 and for Non-SCS officers, it would be styled as Select List 2014-A. The Selection Committee Meetings would be held in 2015 and the upper age limit will be 54 years with crucial date of determination as 01.01.2014 for both the category of officers.
(ii) Similarly, if 6 and 2 vacancies arise during 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2015 in Odisha cadre in the SCS and Non-SCS category respectively the Select Lists would be styled as Select List 2015 for both the category of officers. The Selection Committee Meetings for Select List 2015 would be held in 2016 and the upper age limit will be 56 years with crucial date of determination as 01.01.2015 for both SCs and Non-SCs officers.
6. All State Governments/Cadre Controlling Authorities and UPSC are, therefore, requested to implement the aforementioned amendments ¡n accordance with the above clarifications,

Mandatory Hiring of Apprentices

The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into effect from 22.12.2014. Before the said amendment of the Act, there was no provision to mandate establishments to hire at least 50 per cent of their apprentices for regular employment. After amendment, the Act provides every employer shall formulate its own policy for recruiting any apprentice who has completed the period of apprenticeship training in his establishment.
Several suggestions/ recommendations were received from Office of the Prime Minister’s National Council on Skill Development (PM’s NCSD), Central Apprenticeship Council (CAC), National Commission on Labour (NCL), Indian Labour Conference (ILC), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and other stakeholders to make changes in the Apprentices Act, 1961. These were discussed in an Inter-Ministerial Group(IMG) having representatives from Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Micro Small Medium Enterprises, Ministry of Power, Ministry of Defence, Planning Commission, NSDA. The recommendations of IMG were discussed in the CAC-a tri-partite statutory body and simultaneously, these recommendations were also posted on web-site for inviting the comments of public at large. The amendments were carried out after considering suggestions from different stakeholders.

No proposals to increase working days to 6 per week: Govt

The government on Friday said it has no proposals to shift to six-day week working for its offices or reduce the retirement age of employees to 58 years.

"At present, there is no proposal to change working days for the Central government offices from five to six days a week or to reduce the retirement age of the Central government employees to 58 years," finance minister Arun Jaitley said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.

At present, the retirement age of the Central government employees is 60 years.

The Minister also said that the Seventh Central Pay Commission appointed in February 2014 is required to make its recommendations within 18 months from the date of its constitution.

Former Supreme Court justice Ashok Kumar Mathur is the Chairman of the Commission.

The government constitutes Pay Commission almost every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modification. The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1, 2006.

EPFO BOARD RECOMMENDS NEW FORMULA FOR BOOSTING PENSION PAYOUT

NEW DELHI: A small change in rules can help crores of Employees Pension Scheme subscribers earn more after retirement. 

The Employees Provident Fund Organization's (EPFO) central board of trustees has recommended that the pension should be based on the average salary for the past 30 months, instead of the current stipulation of 60 months. As a result, the payout is expected to increase although it will add to EPFO's burden which already has to deal with a deficit, estimated at Rs 8,000 crore. 

Sources, however, told TOI that it is just a recommendation at this stage and will have to be notified by the government for subscribers to benefit. From September 1, EPFO had changed the formula for determining the pensionable salary by calculating the average monthly pay for 60 months instead of 12.

If notified, the step will counter EPFO's attempts to restrict withdrawals. Against the current norm of allowing pension payment at 58 years, the CBT has now agreed to allow subscribers to defer it by two years. For every year of deferred pension, there will be a 4% incentive, explained two sources familiar with the decision taken during Wednesday's meeting of trustees.

New Pension Scheme to EPF switch: Legislation on the way

Workers who wish to choose between the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation and the New Pension Scheme may have to wait as the government will need to make enabling legislation for the switch.
“Under current norms, firms with over 20 workers are mandated to contribute to the EPFO to provide social security. Not doing this is in default of the Act and can lead to a penalty as well as imprisonment,” said a government official, adding that to allow for such a choice, amendments will have to be made.
At present, companies can open NPS accounts for their workers or individuals can open independent accounts under the scheme, but these contributions are over and above the mandatory deductions for the EPFO.
But pointing out that EPF has “hostages” rather than “clients”, finance minister Arun Jaitley had said in the Budget 2015-16.
“With respect to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), the employee needs to be provided two options. Firstly, the employee may opt for EPF or the New Pension Scheme (NPS). Secondly, for employees below a certain threshold of monthly income, contribution to EPF should be optional, without affecting or reducing the employer’s contribution,” he had announced. The ministry of labour and employment is already finalising amendments to the EPF and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Sources said fresh amendments will have to be drafted.
“The Budget announcements are neither covered under the planned amendments to the EPF Act nor under the proposed Small Factories Bill,” said the official.
At present, the labour ministry is finalising amendments to expand EPFO coverage by halving the threshold for eligible establishments from those employing 20 workers or more to 10 workers. The ministry is also working on a Small Factories (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Services) Bill that proposes to move out workers from factories employing less than 40 workers from the EPFO to private insurance plans.
Current norms
* At present, companies can open NPS accounts for their workers or individuals can open independent accounts under the scheme, but these contributions are over and above the mandatory deductions for the EPFO
* Under current norms, firms with over 20 workers are mandated to contribute to the EPFO to provide social security. Not doing this is in default of the Act and can lead to a penalty as well as imprisonment.

3. It may be noted that –

(a) Since most successful ventures would have contributions of the entire team, retiring persons may indicate names of other members of the team in the writeup.

(b) Any work that has contributed to the efficiency, economy and effectiveness in government functioning or / and any innovation which led to improved work culture or any other contribution considered significant by the retiring employee may be submitted.

(c) Comments which are religious or political in nature (or gender based or based on caste and creed) will not be permitted. The content should not be such as to disturb communal harmony or be against national interest. There should not be any sensitive or secret information in the write-up.

4.The Head of Office shall check the contents to ensure that the submission is as per format and submit to the administrative head/ authority designated for approval., This exercise would be completed at least one month before retirement and the result uploaded on the concerned departmental website on the facility to be provided by Department of Pension & P.W.

5. The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare would coordinate and collate the data and information received from various departments.

6. (a) For the employee not belonging to AIS , the write-up would be uploaded on the website of the Department from where he retires and the website of the cadre controlling authority.

b) For employee of AIS, the write-up would, in addition, be uploaded on the website of the cadre controlling authority and the State cadre to which he belongs.

7. While an online system is being designed for this purpose, for which separate set of instructions would be issued, it would be possible for employees to submit hardcopies instead of going online.

8. The Departmental website while displaying the write-up will have a disclaimer that the contents and suggestions are as provided by the retiring employee and the department is not responsible for factual inaccuracies and the veracity of the claims.
