            In pursuance of the decisions of the Steering Committee of Government Employees Organizations on PFRDA Bill, number of persons to participate from different affiliates in the march to Parliament on 25^th November 2011 has been decided and circulated by the Confederation. Civil Accounts Organisation has been asked to mobilize at least 250 persons. Accordingly it has been decided by the NFCAA headquarters to mobilize the leaders of entire organization with all emphasis.  Branch/State wise number of participants shall be as per the list annexed to this circular.

 It has also been decided by the NFCAA headquarters that, along with March to Parliament other organizational action also shall be undertaken.

 

SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN: EXPEDITE SIGNATURE COLLECTION

It was decided by the Steering Committee of Government Employees Organizations on PFRDA Bill to organize massive signature campaign against PFRDA Bill and submit the signatures to the Prime Minister. The Draft Petition on which the Signatures are to be collected was published in the Accounts Crusader No. 7 of July 2011. All Co-ordination Committees of the country have also taken initiatives for collection of signatures.  But, it has been observed that the process of signature collection has not picked up required speed in the Civil Accounts Organisation.

The text on which the signatures are to be collected is therefore annexed. This document may be multiplied in sufficient numbers and distributed among the members. They may be requested to collect signatures from their family members, friends and other democratic persons of the society and deposit back to Unit/ Branch Secretary.

 All Branches are requested to send signatures within 15^th November2011 to the Federation Headquarters so that the figure could be consolidated and handed over to Confederation.

 

APPEAL TO HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA ON P.F.R.D.A.BILL

We submit this petition to bring to your kind notice certain aspects of the re-introduced PFRDA Bill which will have an extremely adverse impact on the pension and retirement benefits of the Government employees. We may also state in this connection that the contributory pension scheme will be a drain on the exchequer.

The guiding principle adopted in determining the pay package of civil servants is to spread out the wage compensation over a long period of time because of which the wages during the work tenure is low to enable pension payment on retirement. This makes the pension a "deferred wage", which the Supreme Court has upheld as such in their landmark judgment in the case of D.S. Nakara Vs. Union of India. As the bill does not provide implicit or explicit assurance of a minimum pension except marked based guarantee, the civil servant even after contributing huge sums to pension fund may end up with no annuity if the invested company become bankrupt or the equity market crashes. Moreover the annuity which would be the pension under the new scheme being not cost indexed will make it difficult for the pensions to make the both ends meet.

The Committee set up by the 6^th CPC has concluded that the new contributory pension scheme will increase the outflow from the exchequer from Rs. 14,284 Crores to Rs. 57088 Crores by 2038. The Committee has also observed that the pension liability of the Government which was 0.5% of the GDP in 2004-05 under the defined benefit scheme is likely to decline if the same is not replaced by the contributory pension scheme as envisaged in the PFRDA bill. The Committee has ultimately recommended that the existing "Pay as you go" pension which is presently in vogue will be ideal and may be continued.

Since the new scheme is neither in the interest of the country as it increases the outflow on account of pension liability nor to the Civil Servants for it does not guarantee a minimum pension, we appeal to you kindly cause withdrawal of the PFRDA Bill from the Parliament immediately.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully
