Part-I Preface
This Proposal depicts the details of pay scales and
allowances of category III-IV employees in the matter of Wage revision and
service conditions. The objective of
this initiative is to facilitate speedy implementation of the wage revision for
the existence of Employees in Food Corporation of India.
The wage revision proposals for FCI employees is
presented amidst the miseries sown by the GOI in the matter of affordability
and not providing budgetary support and the uncertainty being created by the
economic slowdown. The resolve for providing food security to the nation is the
hallmark of FCI employees.
The Category-wise break-up of

The last wage revision for FCI Employees have been
taken place with effect from 1-1-2007 after 10 years of span. As on 31-3-2007 the staff strength was 41358
against the sanction position of 55053 which workout 75% of staff sanction. The
turnover per employee as on 31-3-2007 was 1739.47 MT. The total turnover during 2007 was 719.41
Lakh MT. At this stage, the existing
FCI Employees as on 1-1-2007 was given 30% increase on the existing pay and DA
in accordance with the guidelines issued on 02-04-2009 by DPE. These guidelines
has been issued on approval of 2nd wage revision committee report for central
public-sector employees by GOI. But it is rather painfully note that the
employees appointed on or after 1-1-2007 have been given only 8% increase on
the pay existed as on 31-12-2006. This is a major anomalies/ defects in the
last negotiated settlement, as the majority of staffs working are this newly
recruited employees since 2007.
It is also regretted to note that the DPE
guidelines dated 2-4-2009 have been extended cafeteria allowance of 50% of
basic pay, which was not given yet to the category III and IV Employees, even
though 40% of revised pay have been sanctioned as cafeteria allowance to
category I & II Employees. The majority of the employees working at present
in Food Corporation of India are the employees appointed after 1-1-2007. These
employees are presently drawing 62% less salary than the existing employees.
The present staff strength is only 22200 as against
the sanction strength of 42038. Which work out only 55 % of sanction strength.
The turn over per employee have been increased from 1739 MT in 2007 to 5108 MT
in 2013. Which shows that the productivity of the employees has been increased
approximately threefold than 2007 at present.
In view of this the FCI Employees appointed after
1-1-2007 has deserve a better revision as demanded hereunder. The FCI recruited
well qualified employees since 2007.
Even in private sector these qualified employees are given more than 4
times salary than presently FCI Paid.

P(3).1 In the revised scale of pay effective
from 1-1-2007 the pre-existing scales shown at S 0 3850-65-4175 and shown at S
1 i.e 4220-100-6720 have been fixed in a very same scale of 8100-18070. As the
newly recruited class IV employees were given 6 increments lesser than the
existing class IV employee in the last wage revision, we consider that it is a
major anomaly in the last wage revision. Hence, we propose to abolish S 0
scales and suggest minimum pay as shown in S 1 scales for both scales.
P(3).2 Two-tier system in category III
In FCI the
minimum qualification for the post of AGIII is graduation. His next two
promotion post are Assistant Gr II and I respectively, which is only a clerical
post in Category III. In almost all other CPSEs and banking institutions, the
next promotion of a graduate assistant is to Category II (Officer) post. In
view of this we demand only two-tier system in category III. At present the job
and connected responsibilities of AGIII and AGII are multifunctional, hence we
propose to abolish the post of Assistant Grade III and proposed a merged scale
for S5 and S6. The existing three tier system in category III may be reduced to
two tier systems with effect from 1-1-2017. And we propose Grade III &
Grade II post may be merged with Assistant Grade II. Those who worked as Grade II prior to
1-1-2017 may be given one additional increment as weightage for every two year
till 1-1-2017 in the revised scales.
P(3).3 Minimum
four promotions to a graduate recruitee
We also propose to abolish the scale shown at S8,
and with a suggestion to accord minimum four promotions to a graduate recruitee
in time bound manner.
Part-4 Pay Fixation Formula.
P 4.1 Fixation of PAY in revised scale in respect
of Employees appointed on or after 1.1.2007
The main anomaly in the last revision was granting
only 8% fitment benefit to the new incumbents recruited after 1-1-2007 when the
existing incumbents in the service of FCI as on 1-1-2007 have been given 30%
fitment benefits. In order to rectify the blatant anomaly, we demand a special
pay fixation formula in fixation of pay for the employees recruited after
1-1-2007 in FCI.

eligible for their regular increment @5% w.e.f 1.1.2017

P(4)1.1 Compensatory Incentive
A
compensatory incentive may be given to all Category III _IV employees @ 20000/
for every year service rendered after 1-1-2007 to 31-12-2017 in order to
compensate the shortcomings pointed out in the preface in the matter of fitment

|
P(4).3 Weightage one increment for every two years
of service
After
arriving basic pay as on 1-1-2017 one increment for every two years of service
in FCI should be added as weightage
P(4).4 Regular annual increment as on 1-1-2017
should be added to such weightage increment which would the new basic pay as on
1-1-2017.
Part 5- Minimum Basic Pay
Considering
the spiralling cost of prices and other factors prevailing in the country,
obligatory expense of family consisting of minimum six members i.e.
husband/wife and two children, father and mother, and the various typical
service condition prevailing in FCI, we demand a minimum basic pay of Rs
44000/- in the revised scales as on 1-1-2017
Part 6- Industrial Dearness allowances
As per the
existing procedure, whenever DA is increased by 25% it should be merged with
basic pay for calculating all benefits, such as HRA, transfer benefits, DA on
tour and retirement benefits etc.

Rent Allowance (HRA)
The existing
percentage may please be continued and If the employees are transferred beyond
50 Kms away from his self-declared permanent Headquarter, he should be given
double HRA with 10% increase in every year.
PART 8-
Lease Accommodation.
In the case
of transfer beyond 50 Kms, the employees may be extended Leased Accommodation
facility in lieu of double HRA.
PART 9- Perks and Allowances Under Cafeteria
Approach
Cafeteria
allowance may be extended to Category III & IV Employees as being paid to
category I & II officers in FCI. As
this benefit has not been sanctioned yet to category III and IV Employees, even
though the BOD has recommended it, the category III Employees have lost 3.25
lakhs to 10 lakh rupees for the period from 1-12-2008 to 31-12-2016. As a
Settlement to the issue we demand a package as given under. It should be given
as on 1-1-2017
Category

RS 25000/-
|
For every
completed year of service

Employees.
PART 10 - Performance Related Pay (PRP)
Performance
Related Pay may be released to FCI Employees in accordance with the DPE
guidelines dated 26-11-2008 and 2-4-2009. As the productivity of the food
corporation of India has been multi folded the employees in FCI are eligible
for performance related pay. Details will be presented in the negotiation
table.

PART 31-Online Filing of Annual Performance
Appraisal Report (APAR)
We propose
to allow online filing of Employees' performance reports for greater
transparency.
PART 32-Online transfer and posting system
We propose
to introduce online transparent transfer and posting methods, a detailed
presentation will be presented in the negotiation table.
PART 33- Causal leave
We demand to implement 12 casual leave in every year
for the Category III & IV Employees.
PART 34- Pay protection of re-employed
ex-servicemen in FCI
We had received numerous complaints from
re-employed ex-servicemen on the matter of their initial pay fixation in the
re-employed posts. Pay fixation of ex-servicemen would be through protection of
pay plus DA drawn by them at the time of release from the Armed Forces. In
addition to the pay fixed on re-employment, pension and other retirement
benefits would also be allowed.
We demand a
special package that, the initial pay, on re-employment shall be fixed at the
minimum of the scale of pay prescribed for the post in which the individual is
re-employed. After fixing the pay, in case the initial pay is lesser than the
last pay drawn (pre-retirement pay), such cases are to be treated as causing
undue hardship, the pay is to be fixed at a higher stage by granting one
increment for each year of service rendered by him, so as to bring the initial
pay at par with the pre-retirement pay. The pay so fixed is to be treated as
“minimum of the pay scale”. In addition
to the above, they are permitted to draw pension and all other forms of
retirement benefits including Dearness Relief on pension which he/she is
eligible.
PART 35- Supply of Laptop to category III Employees
With a view to monitoring the online operation in a
reliable manner, reimbursement in actual amount may provide for the purchase of
one lap top to category III Employees
Also, we demand to increase All the allowances automatically
on the basis of cost inflation index. And demand to setup a permanent mechanism
to revise the salaries of FCI Employees. The proposal may be updated during
negotiation.
