Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of

MUNPL cadre
75.2.12 Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre

• DT (Diploma Trainees) -2018 batch was recruited on the rolls of MUNPL through offer of appointment
issued to them in April 2019.
• They were elected from the existing panel of candidates available with NTPC, NRHQ against
advertisement no. 01/2018.
• The advertisement had projected vacancies were for Singrauli, Rihand, Unchahar, Tanda and
Vindhyachal stations under the Northern Region of NTPC Ltd.
• It was also mentioned thereby that the selected candidates shall undergo 02 years training and will be paid
a consolidated stipend of Rs. 15,500/- per month. On successful completion of training, these candidates
will be absorbed in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 15,500 – 3% - 34,500 (W7 grade). The wage
revision is due w.e.f. 01.01.2017.
• The offer of appointment to the DTs was issued by MUNPL and they joined in April 2019 at a stipend of
Rs. 24,000/- per month. After completion of 02 years of training, they were regularized at NE-7 grade in
April 2021 at a Basic Pay of Rs. 24,000/- per month (which was the same as the prevailing W7 grade pay-
scale of NTPC) + IDA + Cafeteria Allowance (35%).
75.2.12 Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre

Recent Developments in NTPC

• Protection of Basic Pay of DTs/ATS, who had joined/got regularized in NTPC after 27.09.2018
(i.e., the date of signing the Wage Revision MOU in NBC) but for whom the Recruitment
Advertisements were issued before 01.02.2019 (i.e., the date of issuance of NTPC Pay Revision
Circular for Workmen) and whose Basic Pay was fixed at minimum of revised pay-scales of
concerned grades, has been done as a one-time special dispensation.
• In the case of the DTs of MUNPL, the advertisement was issued (by NTPC) in November 2018 (i.e.,
before 01.02.2019) and they were regularized in April 2021 (i.e. after 27.09.2018), and their Basic
Pay was fixed at Rs. 24,000/- per month (i.e. minimum of the pay-scale of the concerned grade).
• Revised Basic Pay plus DA as on their respective date of regularization of DTs of NTPC has been
fixed as the sum of the Basic Pay in the pre-revised pay scales (i.e., Rs. 15,500/- for DTs) plus
DA in the pre-revised pay scales (as on their date of regularization).
75.2.12 Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre

Justification
• DTs of MUNPL had applied against the advertisement no. 01/2018 issued by NTPC Ltd. where it was
stipulated that the candidates shall be absorbed in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 15,500 – 3% - 34,500
(W7 grade), with the additional information that wage revision is due w.e.f. 01.01.2017.
• Any benefit associated with wage revision/ pay fixation extended recruited during the window between
27.09.2018 and 01.02.2019, may be principally adopted by MUNPL for its own DTs.
• Non-executives have submitted multiple requests for re-fixation of their Basic Pay, and issue also
discussed in various Interaction Meetings at HOP and Chairman level.
• Similar pay refixation benefit has also been already extended at other subsidiaries/ JVs of NTPC like
BRBCL.
• Non-executives are permanent on-roll employees of MUNPL. It may be prudent to keep their morale
high for the future growth of MUNPL, with Stage-II, Obra-D and Anpara-D projects in the pipeline.
75.2.12 Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre

Financial Implication

• Basic Pay at the time of regularization in April 2021 (Rs. 24,000/- per month) shall be re-fixed at Rs.
34,032/- per month.
• The arrears payable for the period April 2021 – September 2023 per employee shall be Rs. 5.14
lacs.
• The cumulative arrears payable for the above period for 18 nos. of non-executives shall be Rs. 92.
52 lacs.
75.2.12 Basic Pay Re-fixation of the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre

Resolution

“Resolved that the Board Note for Re-fixation of Basic Pay for the non-executive employees of
MUNPL, as proposed at Para no. (18) – (22) of the Board Memorandum, be and is hereby
approved.”

“Further resolved that CEO, MUNPL may be authorized to take further necessary action in this
regard.”

Superannuation Benefits for the Non-Executives of

MUNPL cadre
 75.2.13 Superannuation Benefits for the Non-Executives of MUNPL cadre
• Superannuation Benefits consist of Provident Fund (PF), Pension, Gratuity and Post Retirement Medical
Benefits (PRMB).

• As per DPE O.M. dated 26-11-2008, CPSEs are allowed to contribute 30% of Basic Pay as Superannuation
Benefits, i.r.o. of their executives and non-unionized supervisors.

• CPSEs like NTPC, POWERGRID, IOCL, etc. have adopted the same distribution of contribution towards
extending superannuation benefits to their non-executives.

• Statutory components of Superannuation Benefits already implemented at MUNPL w.e.f. regularization of

non-executives in April 2021:
• Provident Fund: Employee (12%) + Employer (13%) contribution of wages (Basic Pay + D.A.) being
deposited every month with EPFO, Prayagraj under the Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952.
• Gratuity: 4.81% of wages (Basic Pay + DA) under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Group Gratuity
Policy has been obtained from The Life Insurance Corporation of India.

• Efforts to obtain suitable Post Retirement Medical Benefits Policy from reputed insurance agencies did not
bear fruit owing to small employee strength, very young age & long time left for superannuation.

Resolution

“Resolved that the Board Note for Superannuation Benefits for the non-executive employees of
MUNPL, as proposed at Para no. 7 (i) & (ii) of the Board Memorandum, be and is hereby
approved.”
“Further resolved that CEO, MUNPL may be authorized to take further necessary action in this
regard, including approval of modalities for making contribution towards the identified

(i) & (ii) of the Board Memorandum would be subject to review every year with approval of
