Executive Summary

 Pay Scale:
a) The Master Scale concept is retained with 32 Grades and 80 segments. The Master scale is formulated keeping in mind the following principles:
i. Annual increment to range from 3.36% of the pay in initial stages to 2.33% finally.
ii. Periodicity of increase in increment to be 3 years.
b) The New Scale is evolved by merging DA with Basic Pay as on 1.7.2018.
c) The ‘Minimum Pay’ for the lowest paid employee is to be Rs.19,000/- per month.
d) The ‘Maximum Pay’ in the Master scale is worked out to Rs.1,62,070/-per month, which represents a Minimum to Maximum ratio of 1 : 8.53.
e) In the event of stagnation which should not normally arise, grant of up to 5 stagnation increments is recommended.

 Fitment:
The Commission recommends a fitment of 7.5% on Basic Pay. 

Date of Effect: Since the DA is merged as on 1.7.2018, the new scales come into operation from 1.7.2018. Government may take a view on the date from which the financial benefit would accrue keeping in view its
resource position and the various demands thereon.

Dearness Allowance:
a. The existing practice of following the GOI in sanctioning DA twice a year is to be continued.

b. As the Central rates of DA are based on DA merged scales of 1.1.2016 while DA as on 1.7.2018 has been merged in the scales now proposed for the State employees, the Commission recommends a conversion factor of 0.910 for sanction of DA from 1.1.2019. It means that for every 1% increase in DA sanctioned by GOI, the DA to be sanctioned by the State to its employees would be 0.910 % for the DA starting from 1.1.2019.

House Rent Allowance:
a). The classification of cities and towns has been updated with reference to the Final Census figures of 2011 obtained from the Director of Census Operations and from the latest notification of new municipal areas from the Director of Municipal Administration, Hyderabad.

b). The existing rates of HRA viz. 30%, 20%, 14.5% and 12% has been changed to 24%, 17%, 13% and 11% respectively for different places, based on population. This has been done keeping 7 th CPC recommendation in view.

Additional HRA in lieu of rent free accommodation is retained at 8% of basic pay, but the monetary ceiling is increased from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.2,500/- p.m.

City Compensatory Allowance:
The present classification of municipal areas for the purpose of
payment of City Compensatory Allowance is retained. The quantum
of allowance is, however, increased for all the pay ranges.

Enhancement of Age of Superannuation:
The age of superannuation is extended from 58 years up to 60 years.

Advance Increments
The Commission has not recommended any special increment for possessing higher qualifications.

Loans and Advances
The Commission has recommended encouraging the employees to
go in for house building loans from commercial banks by Government
suitably subsidizing the interest rates. Pending such an arrangement, increase in the quantum of various loans and advances is
recommended.

Leave Benefits:
a) The Child Care Leave (CCL) be enhanced from 90 days to 120 days in the case of normal children.

b) CCL be enhanced from 90 days to two years, in the case of disabled children only, on par with GOI. This leave be granted with 100% of the salary for the first 365 days and 80% of the salary for the next 365 days.

c) CCL be extended to single male parents who may include unmarried or widower or divorcee employees.

d) Special Disability Leave is substituted by a new Leave named “Work Related Illness and injury Leave (WRILL)” and Special Disability Leave for accidental injury and Hospital Leave are merged in WRILL.

Medical Benefits:
a) The Commission has recommended streamlining the cashless treatment under EHS by collecting 1% basic pay from employees and 1% of basic pension from the pensioners and creating a ‘separate reserve’ as in case of Arogya Bhadratha. The expenditure shall be met from the above reserve initially and the same shall be recouped from the reimbursement by the Government, after scrutiny of bills as per the existing rules.

b) It is also recommended to extend the EHS to the retired CPS employees by collecting a lumpsum amount equal to one month pension or as decided by the Government at the time of their retirement.

c) Medical Allowance to Service Pensioners and Family Pensioners is recommended to be enhanced from Rs.350/- p.m. to Rs.600/-p.m. 

Special Pays:
a) The existing special pays are enhanced suitably.
b) Further the Commission has recommended special pay of 15% of basic pay to certain categories of Protocol Department.

PRINCIPLES OF FITMENT

One of the terms of reference fixed for the PRC is to examine, as to what extent the existing Dearness Allowance may be merged in the pay as to evolve consequent new set of pay scales merging Dearness Allowance therein and suggest the mode of pay in the revised pay scales. Regarding the merger of Dearness Allowance with the basic pay, the issue has been discussed in the earlier chapter.  The revised scales are worked out based on merger of Dearness Allowance with Basic pay and fixation of minimum pay based on certain accepted principles which are discussed earlier.  The new master scale is evolved by arriving at the minimum of the scale and the maximum of the scale and working out reasonable increments at various stages in between.  An important aspect of Revised Pay Scales is the ‘Fitment’ formula for determining the pay of existing employees in the Revised Pay Scales, to provide for reasonable monetary benefit to the employees.

The 1978 Pay Revision Commission recommended for weightage of one increment for every 3 years of service, based on the service rendered by the employees. In subsequent revisions of 1986, 1993, 1999, 2005, 2010 the Commission preferred fixation of a uniform percentage as the criteria for fitment in the Revised Pay Scales as it will spread the advantage evenly for all employees. While recommending the new pay scales, the successive PRCs also took into consideration the financial position of the State Government.

Major Associations have now represented for percentage of fitment on Basic pay ranging from 45% – 80%.  

The Telangana Gazetted Officers Central Association in their representation has stated that during the period from 1.7.2013 to 1.7.2018, the accumulated inflation has reached to 63% where as the Dearness Allowance sanctioned to State Government employee was just 30.392% and as such there was a loss of more than 33%. If index is calculated with current revised base year as per the norms of ILO i.e., 2011 (for every 10 years change of base year), added to this the Consumption basket of employees catering the real requirement is acquired and thereby if index calculated then there is addition of another 30% in Dearness Allowance which will nullify the existing inflation. Hence there is every need to sanction 63% fitment to compensate the real inflation.

The Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers Association in their representation has stated that during the period from 1.7.2013 to 1.7.2018, the accumulated inflation has reached to 63% where as the Dearness Allowance sanctioned to State Government employee was just 30.392% and as such there was a loss of more than 33%.  If index is calculated with current revised base year as per the norms of ILO i.e., 2011 (for every 10 years change of base year), added to this the Consumption basket of employees catering the real requirement is acquired and thereby if index calculated then there is addition of another 30% in Dearness Allowance which will nullify the existing inflation. Hence there is every need of sanction of 63% fitment to compensate the real inflation.

The Progressive Recognized Teachers Union, T.S. (PRTU) in their memorandum has requested for a fitment of 65% on Basic pay, they have calculated as per the following formula:

          Proposed Minimum Pay            =        25000           =        1.92

       Old Minimum Pay (RPS 2015)               13000

                    Fitment formula factor is 1.92 times of pay or 65%.

The Government Junior Lecturers Association in their representation has requested 75% of fitment on basic pay.

    The Commission recommends a minimum pay of Rs.19000/- as already discussed in previous chapter (i.e. Chapter-V).  Previous Commission had recommended a minimum pay of Rs.13000/- which in effect got revised to Rs.13825/- due to enhancement of fitment by Government from 29% recommended by the PRC to 43%, Minimum pay of Rs.13825 + DA 30.392% + fitment of 7.5% comes to Rs.19000/- which is now recommended by this PRC as the minimum pay.  Hence the Commission now recommends a fitment of 7.5%.  The Commission further recommends that the fitment in the revised scale may be made in the following manner:

• 5% of the basic pay as fitment may be added to the total of Basic pay.
• A. admissible as on 01/07/2018 i.e., 30.392% shall be added to the Basic pay + fitment arrived at (1) above.
• The pay of the employees should be fixed in the relevant revised scale at the stage next above the amount arrived at as at (2) above;
• If an employee’s pay when fixed as above falls short of the minimum in the revised pay scale, it shall be fixed at the minimum of the scale;
• If the amount so fixed exceeds the maximum, the excess shall be treated as personal pay and it should be absorbed in future pay increases or in the stagnation increments sanctioned.

 The Commission recommends that the revised pay scales should come into force with effect from 1.7.2018. 

Statement showing rates of Dearness Allowance allowed to State Government employees from 01/01/2014 onwards:

Several employees’ associations have requested for sanction of D.A. on par with that of Central Government employees and some of them, have requested for equal rate of D.A. on par with Central Government employees.  The Government of India evolved their scales by merging Dearness Allowance as on 1.1.2016, with Basic Pay.  We have, as is the practice in the State, recommended merging of Dearness Allowance in Basic Pay as on 1.7.2018.   Since the Basic Pay is worked out by merging Dearness Allowance at a higher level than that of the Government of India, the rate of Dearness Allowance sanctioned to the employees of the Government of India cannot be adopted directly in respect of the employees of the State Government. For this purpose, the State Pay Revision Commissions have been recommending a conversion formula, to ensure that the quantum of Dearness Allowance sanctioned is equivalent of what is sanctioned by the Central Government.

The basic pay of different categories of employees of Govt. of India is fixed as on 1.1.2016, when the average of preceding 12 months Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers is 261.42.  For Telangana State Government employees, the basic pay is fixed on 1.7.2018 by merging the Dearness Allowance from 1.1.2016 to 1.7.2018. The average Consumer Price Index of preceding 12 months as on 1.7.2018 is 287.17.

    The Dearness Allowance (D.A.) of one rupee given to a Central Government employee on basic pay at a Consumer Price Index of 261.42 (as on 1.1.2016) is equivalent to one rupee multiplied by conversion factor (CF), for State Government employee on the basic pay at a Consumer Price Index of 287.17 (as on 01.07.2018).

Where ‘CF’ is the conversion factor,

1 x  261.42 (C.P.I. level on 1.1.16)  = CF x 287.17 (C.P.I. level on 1.7.18)

Therefore,        CF = 1x (261.42 ÷ 287.17) = 0.91

    Accordingly, this Commission recommends that Dearness Allowance be regulated at 0.91% (261.42/287.17) for the State Government Employees and pensioners for every 1% of Dearness Allowance sanctioned to the employees and their pensioners, of Government of India with effect from 01.01.2019.
