 Section 2 of CCS(Conduct) Rules, 1964, defines “members of family” of
government servants as spouse, dependent sons or daughters including
step-children and any other dependent person related to them or their
spouse by blood or marriage.

4 CU = Four Consumption Unit (Employee spouse, two children and their parents
also depend on employee, so averagely we taken as 4 consumption units for a
family.)

The validity of this minimum pay of Rs. 25,000/-with reference to the cost of
essential commodities etc.. which were taken into account by PRTU TS which indicates
that as on 1.1.2018, the minimum requirement of pay for the lowest paid employee would
be around Rs.25,000/-.
The inflationary pressures which affect the purchasing capacity of rupee.
In the Master Scale set-up, the roll of the minimum wage is most important. Since
the Master Scale starts with minimum wage, the stages of the scales will be determined
by the starting stage.
“That’s why PRTU TS strongly desiring Rs.25000/- as the minimum pay w.e.f.
2.6.2018”.

Explanatory Note:
Date of Implementation: “we are requesting to implement the Telangana state 1st PRC
(Revised Pay Scales) with effect from the Telangana state formation day 02.06.2018. Which
is a memorable day for the Telangana people and employees.”
The D.A. as on 1.7.2017 is 25.676%, the state Government DA w.e.f 01.01.2018 @
1.572% yet to be release, total DA will be 27.248% as on 01.01.2018. The Revised Pay
Scales 2018 will be come into force w.e.f. 02.06.2018 or on the date of next annual grade
increment or the date of subsequent annual grade increment may become as date of
option. Existing basic pay and DA as on option date will be merged for evolve consequent
new pay.
We propose the Master Scale system should be continued.
(a) MinimumPay:Rs.25,000/-
(b) MaximumPay:Rs. 2,55,580/-

What’s the rationale? and how are they arrived; (i.e.,) the basis for arriving the
minimum and maximum.
Ans: We have kept in mind the following three principles:
i) Annual increment to range from 3% of the pay in initial stage to 2.56% finally.
ii) Existing quantum of increment to be nearly doubled in line with increase of pay;
iii) Periodicity of increase in increment to be 3 years;
(c) Ratio between the Minimum and MaximumPay,1: _____. What’s the rationale?

Ans: Minimum and Maximum Pay, 1:10(7th CPC ratio is also 1:10)
2. Scale ofpay:

As you are aware every post carries a scale of pay with a minimum of the scale,
annual increments and maximum. The erstwhile State of A.P. Government introduced
the concept of Master Scale, it is often said that with the introduction of
theMasterscale,theconceptofpayscaledoesnothavemuchrelevanceparticularly, to those
who are in service. But the craze for the pay scale continues and the demands for a
higher scale of pay go on unabated. Very often the employees compare their scale
with their counterparts and feel that they get a raw deal in the matter of pay scale.
With this, the successive Pay Revision Commissions of erstwhile state of A.P. and the
Anomalies Committees repeatedly analyzing the payscales.
(a) The pay scale is sort of compensation or remuneration, but the employees seems
to be giving much prominence to the pay scale? Please indicate your view on
thisaspect.
Ans: “Telangana State Government has Employee friendly Government it has been
taken approval in the first cabinet meeting for Central Pay Scale to the State
Government Employees, but employee organizations were said that we were
not interested with central scales, so Government has not implemented.
Because of we have a different system it is every 5 years Pay Revision system
is implements. In the Central allowances were better than state. We have
better pays from recent Pay Revision Scales implementation. We have to
protect that good Pays and requesting for the better Allowances.”
(b) In your view what should be the parameters for determining a Pay scale for a
particularcategory?

Ans : Pay Scales for teachers should have a bearing on the academic and professional
qualifications, skills and techniques required of them. The National Education
Policy requires that the talented and efficient persons with a right attitude to
teaching are attracted into and retained in the profession to meet the ever growing
challenges thrown by the technological progress sweeping the world over and
prepare the child for a better world.

Therefore Teachers should be put on higher pedestal than that of the other sections
of employees with comparable qualifications.
(c) If you are representing a Service Association or heading a department what scales
do you suggest for the categories you are representing or the categories under your
control based on the parameters mentioned above. Givejustification.

Ans: We, Progressive Recognized Teacher’s Union has been recognized by the state
government of Andhra Pradesh prior to the disintegration of the state, Telangana
State Government has continued the recognition of our PRTU TS. Representing Pay
structure of all the teachers working in Primary / Upper Primary/ Secondary
Schools of Telangana. We represent the Categories and Scales as shown below.

New entrant teacher and 5 years of service senior teacher having were fixed in
same stage. So we representing Bunching System to the teachers, means service
weightage increments to be sanctioned as shown below.
 Up to 5 years of service - 1 increment
 5 years and < 10 years of service - 2 increments
 10 years and < 15 years of service - 3 increments

Prepone of Increment on par with Junior

Government has been issued G.O.Ms.No. 2 School Education Department Dt.

05.01.2009 and implementation Memo No. 8663/SE.Ser.I/2010 Dt.01.07.2010 for
sanction of two notional increments on completion of two years of apprentice service.
While implementing the G.O 2 we are facing senior junior anomalies in the pay. Some of
the illustrations were shown below

CASE 1: Senior and Junior both were appointed as apprentice teachers as on 23.11.2005
senior is completed two years apprentice on completion of 2 years successful
apprentice service i.e on 22.11.2005 and got two notional increments on regular

completed two years of apprentice service as on 17.10.2008 and got regular time
scale on 18.10.2008 then awarded two notional increments. Junior is getting more
pay than Senior. We are requesting you to allow prepone the senior pay on par
with junior pay.

 (d) If ‘No’, how many grades of scales do yousuggest? `

(e) The Seventh Central Pay Commission introduced the concept of Pay Matrix. The
10th Pay Revision Commission of erstwhile State of A.P. had also gone into this
question and did not agree for adoption. Do you agree with the above view or else
what do yousuggest?
Ans: We are proposed to continue with existing system.

(f) In case you advocate for implementation with modifications what modifications you
would like tosuggest?
Not applicable

4. Fitment:
(a) In the Central Government, during the earlier pay revisions fitment used to be
allowed for fixation of pay in the Revised Pay Scales. So is the case with the State
Government. In the light of the above, what is your opinion onfitment?
(b) Should it be (Tick your choice)

i) A percentage ofpay√

ii) Increments based on service

(c) Quantum/percentage of fitment Rs. / % Increment.

Ans : Percentage of fitment is 63%
We strongly desires 63% fitment in 1st PRC of Telangana State w.e.f. 02.6.2018.
A question arises why the weightage may be 63% of the basic pay. Answer to the
above question is…
 As per AICPI 12 monthly average points (from 7/12 to 6/13) - 220
(Base year 2001 = 100)
 12 monthly average points (from 3/2017 to 2/2018) - 283
 Average difference in growth - 63 points
Consumer price index raised 63points from 7/17 to 2/018. Therefore we request the
chairman kindly recommend 63% as fitment keeping in view to meet the higher cost of
essential commodities to some extent.

(a) State Government employees are now getting annual increment at the rates ranging
from 2.48% to 2.985%. Do you think that this is alright?
Ans :Yes/No
(b) If your opinion is “No” then what should be the quantum of increment in your view?
The rationale behind your suggestion may please beindicated.

Ans :We are demands that the rate of increment should be 3% of basic pay on par with
Central

(c) The Central Government has introduced differential rate of increment linking it to
performance. Do you suggest for adoption of the above system for the State
Government employeesalso?

Ans :Yes/No
(d) If your opinion is “Yes” then what is your suggestion for the yardstick to be
followed to assessefficiency?

suggestions.

7. Stagnationincrements
(a) According to one school of thought, the system of shifting the employee, when
he reached the maximum of pay scale, to the next pay scale is good as it will
give a satisfaction that the employee is in a better scale and also continue to
draw increments uninterruptedly. In the light of this, do you support sanction
of stagnation increments or shift to next scale on reaching the maximum of the
scale? (Tick any of the box indicating yourview)

Scheme with the periodicity was 8/16/24 years. Later, that periodicity has been
revised to 6/12/18/24, which serves the larger interest of the employees,
sanctioning of stagnation increments will not serve any purpose. More so, when
it does not confer any additional benefits. Is there any justification for its
continuance.
Please justify the necessity for continuance of the stagnation increments.
Ans: Opportunities to teachers for promotionschances are very less, we are getting
existing 5 stagnation increments were not enough to overcome the problem.
In case you support shifting to next scale, please give yourjustification.
Ans: If an employee is reached the maximum of the scale, we are requesting to allow
to shift to next scale. If in that scale also reaches maximum scale then allow
the existing 5 stagnation Increments.

are almost similar to the Automatic Advancement scheme in vogue in the State
Government.

concept isadequate.
Yes/No
Ifyes.

Asit is with modifications

(b) If no, suggest the duration of service for allowing Automatic

AdvancementGrades?

CAREER ADVANCEMENT SCHEME in the place of AUTOMATIC ADVANCEMENT

SCHEME:

As the promotional channels are merged, some of the employees are not
getting one promotion in his entire service. The existing Automatic Advancement
Scheme may be replaced with Career Advancement scheme. In the Automatic
Advancement Scheme the senior employees are facing hardship and getting less
benefits than junior employees, to avoid such hardship and for benefit of the senior
employees “Career Advancement scheme” may be introduced by taking total service
of the employee in his career. In Career Advancement scheme four types of scales are
to be given.
11. (a) Do you support the existing system of limiting the promotion scales to
the Special Promotion Posts I-A(after 12years), Special Promotion
Posts I-B(after 18 years) and Special Promotion Posts II(after 24years)?

Yes/No
(b) If “no”, what are yoursuggestions?

Ans: The Duration of service for allowing Career Advancement scheme Grades
are 5yrs, 10yrs, 15yrs, 20Yrs and 25yrs. We are proposed to introduced
one more stage SPP-IIB same as like SPP-IB as shown below.

 on completion of 5 years of service : Special Grade

 on completion of 10 years of service : Special Promotion Post Scale-IA
 on completion of 15 years of service : Special Promotion Post Scale-IB
 on completion of 20 years of service : Special Promotion Post Scale-II A
 on completion of 25 years of service : Special Promotion Post Scale-II B

We request to allow pay fixation under FR 22 (B) in the promotion post after
getting SPP Scale -IIA. Allow Automatic Advancement Scheme to the teachers who got
promotion after getting SPP Scale-IIA.

(c) In case you advocate for continuation with modifications what

modifications would you like tosuggest?
STEP UP:

The state Government has issued G.O.Ms.No. 96 Finance(Pay Commission –

II)Department Dt. 20.02.2011 for change of periodicity of the Scheme as 6/12/18/24
years of service from the provision of 8/16/24 years under Automatic Advancement
Scheme. SPP-IB has newly introduced on completion of 18 years of service in a cadre.
SPP-I modified as SPP-IA by reducing the service period in a cadre from 16 years to
12years. It was also ordered for fixation of pay under FR 22-B for those employees
who are promoted after availing the benefit of Automatic Advancement Scheme and if
the above fixation results in, the senior drawing less pay than that of junior, the pay
of the senior shall be stepped up w.e.f. the date of promotion of the junior to a figure
equal to the pay fixed for the junior in the higher post to which he/she is promoted
on or after 01.07.2008, subject to the conditions laid down therein, with monetary
benefit from 01.02.2010.

Here Teachers are facing a problem to expel the anomaly. Secondary

Grade Teachers are two or three promotion chances to get in the next
promotion post either in School Assistant in different subject or PSHM post. If
a senior get the chance to promotion earlier than junior, then junior got
automatic advancement scheme benefit and take the promotion to another
post. Junior pay will be higher the senior pay. Expel the anomaly is not
possible due to senior and junior were promoted to different subjects of the
same post or equalent post. Senior also have the qualification to take the
junior promotion post but senior got first chance get promotion and opted
another post.

C. SPECIAL PAYS AND COMPENSATORY ALLOWANCES &MEDICAL

FACILITIES ETC.

It is a general phenomena that while assigning a pay scale, to a particular post,

the qualifications, nature of duties, whether general or arduous nature of duties,
areas of operation etc., are taken into consideration. The other argument is that the
pay scale is assigned for normal duties and when the job requires special skills or
arduous nature of duties or where the employee has to work in remote areas etc.,
there should be compensation by way of special pay or special allowance.

PENSION STRUCTURE

One of the terms of reference of the Pay Revision Commission (PRC) is to

examine and review the existing structure for pensioners and make recommendations
which may be desirable and feasible.

The present rules that govern the pensionary benefits are based on theA.P.
Revised Pension Rules, 1980 which came into force with effect from 29 th October, 1979
as amended from time to time. Government have been sanctioning Pension on the last
pay drawn, provided the employee drew pay in that post, in a regular vacancy at least
for a period of two months. Otherwise the pension is based on average emoluments
drawn for the last ten months. The minimum service to get pension is 10 years.
Government allows a weightage of 5 years for superannuation pension and for voluntary
retirement. In either case, the maximum qualifying service is 33 years for getting full
pension i.e.,50% of pay drawn at the time ofretirement.

The Pay Revision Commission 2015 reviewed the pension structure and fixed
the minimum pension as Rs.6500/- a month. The commutation of pension was
recommended to be continued @ 40% and no change was recommended in the
existing provision in case of restoration of commuted pension. The maximum limit of
Retirement Gratuity was recommended to be enhanced from Rs.8,00,000/- to
Rs.12,00,000/-. The D.A. at the time of retirement should be added to the basic pay

Contributory Pension Scheme is needs to be abolish

With the implementation of this Contributory Pension Scheme since 01.09.2004,
the employee who has served for 30 to 35 years receive a pension is less likely to at the
end of his life and New Pension does not grow lifetime of the employee. Old pension
system is most needful for implement.
Restoration of Old Pension Scheme is not an immediate financial burden to the
Government, because an employee has an average of 28 years of service. New Pension
Scheme effected employees appointed after September 2004, so employees will retire
from the service 2033. Every year there is a small number may be retire up to above
said period.
Government share investment in the Contribution Pension Scheme:

 Government average investment for Contributory Pension Scheme on each

employee : 3,000/PM
 Currently the number of employees employed in the CPS (NPS): 1,20,000
 Monthly payment on CPS (NPS): 1,20,000 X 3,000 = 36,00,00,000
 Yearly payment on CPS (NPS): : 36,00,00,000 X 12 = 4,32,00,00,000

If cancel the new pension system, the government's share of the employee is equal to
approximately 450 crore each year, so there is no need to contribute and it may use
other purposes, the government will have the opportunity to capitalize CPS reversal
amount. In addition, nearly 5,000 crore so far to roll back the new pension deposit for
the chance to make use of development schemes. Employee’s monthly savings and
earlier employee share contributed reversal amount from the NSDL to General Provident
Fund.

Old Pension - New Pension - Observation

Difference between Contribution Pension Scheme and Old Pension Scheme:

On the winter session of the Assembly on 21st December 2016 in respect of

members of the legislature to answer questions on the respect of new pension scheme,
Finance Minister Sri. Eetela Rajender said that the new pension is benefit able than the
old pension. He says that, if a Headmaster retire in new pension scheme he will get
much better benefits than old pension scheme.

To see if this is true, we observed old pension benefits and new pension scheme
benefits of headmaster of the Upper Primary School who retired in February 2017. We
are calculated new pension scheme benefits with his every month Pay and DA as per
his service records. His old and new pension benefits as showed below.

“The Salary details and expected contributions of the above said

employees are attached with this file.”

Old Pension Benefits:

 Date of Birth : 05.02.1959

 Date of First Appointment as Special Teacher : 11.07.1985 (Rs. 398/pm)
 Date of Regular time Scale allowed : 25.09.1990
 Date of Retirement : 28.02.2017
Total pension eligible service 33 years (26years 5months Service + 5 years
2months 398 service + 1year 5months Service
weightage)
 Last month Pay : Rs. 55410/-
 Gratuity : Rs. 11,34,639/-
 Basic Pension + D.A : Rs. 27,705 + Rs. 6,678 = Rs. 34,383/-
 40% pension commutation amount : Rs. 11,13,209/-
