Central Government employees losing interest in Dearness Allowance?

It is becoming very obvious these days that the Central Government employees and pensioners are fast losing interest in Dearness Allowance.

Dearness Allowance is given to the Central Government employees once every six months, in order to help them maintain their lifestyle against the rising prices. Fluctuations in the prices of 392 essential items are recorded regularly at 78 various locations and their data is tabulated once every month to calculate the All India Consumer Price Index Number(AICPIN), which is then released by the Centre. Dearness Allowance is thus calculated.

For ten years now, we have been calculating the Dearness Allowance in advance and releasing the numbers. This is why we are able to sense an acute loss of interest among the Central Government employees in recent times to know their next and expected Dearness Allowance.

Dearness Allowance is calculated with the employee’s basic salary. For example, a 7 percent Dearness Allowance for an employee who draws a basic salary of Rs.18000 per month, will translate into Rs. 1260.

All the Central Government employees, defence personnel and pensioners are now being paid as per the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, from January 2016 onwards. The Seventh Pay Commission had recommended that no changes shall be made in the Dearness Allowance calculations and the method adopted by the Sixth Pay Commission continues to be followed. The centre too had accepted the recommendations.

Under the Sixth Pay Commission method, the Dearness Allowance had increased by 125 percent in the past ten years, from January 2006 to December 2015. It is worth mentioning that at least thrice, a Dearness Allowance of 10 percent was paid to the employees. The table below shows the Dearness Allowance that was paid once every six months.

?

The loss of interest among the employees probably has something to do with the fact that the increase in Dearness Allowance has only been marginal ever since the Seventh Pay Commission was implemented.

There was no Dearness Allowance for the first six months, January to June 2016. Dearness Allowance of only 2 percent was given for July to December 2016. It looked as if something was wrong with the calculations, right from the start, but the employees thought that things will improve with time. The Dearness Allowance for January to June 2017 was a mere one percent, which came as a rude shock to all. And then, Jul to Dec 2017 is 5% and Jan to Jun 2018 is being fixed as 7% as per the calculations.

The centre claimed that it was because they have the prices under control.

So, what is the Dearness Allowance for the second term of 2018, July to December 2018, likely to be?
This time too, it is not expected to exceed 3 percent.

We expect the Dearness Allowance to be 9% or 10% with effect from July 2018.

7th CPC CEA: Total Claim for Academic Year 2017-18

Children Education Allowance: CEA is paid to government employees to take care of schooling and hostel requirements of their children. Before VI CPC recommendations, the scheme was known as Children Education Assistance and provided at the following rates:

Class XI-XII

Hostel Subsidy

In case the employee is obliged to
keep his children in a hostel away from the Station of his posting and
residence on account of transfer.

The VI CPC rationalized the structure to the following:

Component
Recommended rate
Remarks
Children Education Allowance
 Rs.1500 pm
 Whenever DA increases by 50%,
CEA shall increase by 25%
Hostel Subsidy
 Rs.4500 pm
 Whenever DA increases by 50%,
Hostel Subsidy shall increase by 25%
7th Pay Commission recommended as follows:
Component
Recommended rate (pm)
Remarks
Children Education Allowance
 Rs.1500 x 1.5 = 2250
 Whenever DA increases by 50%,
CEA shall increase by 25%
Hostel Subsidy
 Rs.4500 x 1.5 = 6750 (ceiling)
 Whenever DA increases by 50%,
Hostel Subsidy shall increase by 25%

The allowance will continue to be double for differently abled children.

Simplification of Procedure for Reimbursement: This is a major area of concern. Many representations have been received by the Commission wherein employees have stated that due to cumbersome procedures, reimbursement has been held up for years. Another issue is the kind of voucher which will be accepted and which kind of voucher will not. The issue has been examined, and the apprehensions expressed are not without merit.

It is recommended that reimbursement should be done just once a year, after completion of the financial year (which for most schools coincides with the Academic year). For CEA, a certificate from the head of institution where the ward of government employee studies should be sufficient for this purpose. The certificate should confirm that the child studied in the school during the previous academic year.

For Hostel Subsidy, a similar certificate from the head of institution should suffice, with the additional requirement that the certificate should mention the amount of expenditure incurred by the government servant towards lodging and boarding in the residential complex. The amount of expenditure mentioned, or the ceiling as mentioned in the table above, whichever is lower, shall be paid to the employee.

The Central Government has decided and notified the allowance shall be admissible with effect from 1st July, 2017.

The total re-imbursement amount can be claimed per child per year:

The educational qualifications are not generally insisted upon in the case of promotion to posts of non-technical nature; but for scientific and technical posts, these should be insisted upon, in the interest of administrative efficiency, at least in the case of senior Group A posts in the Pay Band-3 Grade Pay Rs. 6600 and above. Sometimes the qualifications for junior Group A posts and Group B posts may not be insisted upon in full but only the basic qualification in the discipline may be insisted upon.

23. Whether any age limit prescribed for promotion?
Ans. Unless there are any specific grounds, the age limit prescribed for direct recruits are not insisted upon in the case of promotees.

24. When probation for appointment to a post/service in Central Government is prescribed? What is the duration of probation?
Ans. The probation is prescribed when there is direct recruitment, promotion from one Group to another e.g. Group B to Group A or officers re-employed before the age of superannuation. There will be no probation for promotion from one grade to another but within the same group of posts e.g. from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘C’ and for appointment on contract basis, tenure basis, re-employment after superannuation and absorption. The period of probation is as prescribed in this Department OM No. AB-14017/48/2010-Estt (RR) dated 31.12.2010 (Para 3.10.1 & 3.10.2).

25. What are the methods of recruitments?
Ans. The different methods of recruitment are:
(a) Promotion
(b) Direct Recruitment
(c) Deputation
(d) Absorption
(e) Re-employment
(f) Short-term contract

26. How is the method of recruitment or percentage of vacancies to be filled by various methods of recruitment decided?
Ans. The percentage of vacancies to be filled by each method that may be prescribed for a particular post or Service depend on a judicious blending of several considerations, e.g.,
(i) the nature of duties, qualifications and experience require
(ii) the availability of suitable personnel possessing, the requisite qualifications and experience within a cadre.
(iii) The need for ensuring that suitable incentives exist for the maintenance of an adequate standard of efficiency in the cadre;
(iv) Consideration of the question whether, having regard to the role to be performed by a specified cadre or Service, it is necessary to provide for direct intake of officers at an appropriate level with a view to injecting fresh knowledge and experience that may not be normally available in a particular Service or Department etc.
(v) The proper mix of the six methods of recruitment i.e. (a) promotion (b) direct recruitment (c) deputation (d) absorption (e) re-employment (f) short-term contract (mentioned at (a) to (f) above).

27. What is promotion?
Ans. Promotion is method of recruitment from feeder grade post(s) to higher post in the hierarchy as per the provisions of the Recruitment Rules. If promotion is kept as a method of recruitment, it is also necessary to lay down the number of years of qualifying service before the persons in the field become eligible for promotion. Only regular, and not ad hoc, period of service is taken into account for purposes of computing this service.

28. What is Direct Recruitment?
Ans. Direct recruitment is the recruitment which is open to all candidates, eligible as per the provisions regarding age, educational qualification/ experience etc. as prescribed in Recruitment Rules.

29. What is Deputation?
Ans. Deputation is a method of recruitment where officers of Central Government Departments or State/ UT Governments from outside are appointed to post(s) in Central Government for a limited period, by the end of which they will have to return to their parent cadres. In case of isolated post, it is desirable to keep the method of recruitment of deputation/ short term contract as otherwise the incumbents of such posts, if directly recruited, will not have any avenue of promotion/ career progression.

30. What is short term contract?
Ans. Short term contract is also a form of deputation where officers from non- Government bodies e.g. universities, research institutions, public sector undertakings for teaching, research, scientific and technical posts)( Central Government posts.

31. Whether absorption and Deputation are synonymous? What is absorption?
Ans. Absorption and deputation are not synonymous. There is a substantial difference between absorption and deputation. Under the provision absorption, the officer, who initially comes on deputation, may be permanently absorbed in the post/ grade if recruitment rules prescribe for absorption as mode of recruitment. Such absorption can be effected only in the case of officers who are on deputation from the Central / State Government.

32. What is composite method of recruitment?
Ans. In cases where the field of promotion or feeder grade consists of only one post, the method of recruitment by “deputation (including short-term contract)/ promotion” is prescribed so that the eligible departmental officer is considered along with outsiders. If the departmental candidate is selected for appointment to the post; it is to be treated as having been filled by promotion; otherwise, the post is to be filled by deputation / short-term contract for the prescribed period of deputation / short-term contract at the end of which the departmental officer will again be afforded an opportunity to be considered for appointment to the post.

33. How is field of deputation decided?
Ans. The field for “deputation/ short-term contract/ absorption should, as far as possible, consist of officers holding analogous posts on regular basis but may be widened to include officers working in the next lower grade also with the qualifying service on regular basis normally prescribed for promotion.

34. How is the period of qualifying service for promotion decided?
Ans. The qualifying service for promotion from one grade to another is necessary so that there is no premature promotion or undue jump in pay and also to ensure that the officer has sufficient opportunity to demonstrate his competence/potential for holding the higher post. The period of qualifying service varies from post to post depending upon the scale of pay and the experience, required for manning the higher post. Broadly, the following qualifying service to be followed is prescribed in this Department OM No. 14017/48/2010-Estt (RR) dated 31.12.2010 (para 3.12.2).

35. What is the maximum age limit for Deputation?
Ans. The maximum age limit for appointment on deputation (including short term contract) or absorption shall be not exceeding 56 years as on the closing date of receipt of applications.

36. What is the crucial date for determination of eligibility of absorption/ deputation?
Ans. The guidelines for crucial date for determination of eligibility for absorption/ deputation are as follows: –
(i) In the case of a vacancy already existing at the time of issue of the communication inviting nominations, the eligibility may be determined with reference to the last date prescribed for receipt of nominations in the Ministry/ Department/ Organization responsible for making appointment to the post i.e. originating Ministry etc.
(ii) In the case where a vacancy is anticipated, the crucial date for determining eligibility should be the date on which the vacancy is expected to arise.

37. How is Departmental Committee formed?
Ans. When promotion is kept as a method of recruitment, the detailed composition of the Departmental Promotion Committee, with minimum 3 officers, may be indicated. In the case of promotion to Group ‘A’ posts, the Union Public Service Commission shall also be associated. The total strength of DPC including Chairman need not necessarily be an odd number, as the decision is to be taken as a joint one.

38. What are the circumstances in which Union Public Service Commission is to be consulted for recruitment?
Ans. UPSC is required to consult in case of recruitment to all Central Civil Services and Central Civil Posts. Exemption from Consultation with Union Public Service Commission is governed by the Union Public Service Commission (Exemption from Consultation) Regulations, 1958 as amended from time to time and the Central Civil Services and Civil Posts (Consultation with Union Public Commission) Rules, 1999 as amended. Some of the circumstances in which the Union Public Service Commission are to be consulted in making recruitment to the posts are illustrated below:-
(i) Direct Recruitment,
(ii) Re-employment,
(iii) Absorption,
(iv) Composite method of recruitment ( i.e. where the departmental candidate is to be considered along with outsiders),
(v) In case of deputation — (a) if the field for consideration includes State Government Officers or Group ‘A’ & ‘B’ officers of the Central Government simultaneously and (b) if the field for consideration consists of not only Central/State Government officers but also officers from non- Government institutions
(vi) Any relaxation or amendment of the provisions of the Recruitment Rules.

39. Whether recruitment to a post can be made in absence of recruitment rules of a post?
Ans. If there are overriding compulsions for filling any Group A or Group B post in the absence of Recruitment Rules, then the Ministries/ Department may make reference to Union Public Service Commission for determination of method of recruitment as a onetime measure for filling up of a post on regular basis.

40. What are the limits for notification of Recruitment Rules?
Ans. The Recruitment Rules or amendment(s) thereto as finally approved by the Union Public Service Commission are required to be notified within a period of 10 weeks from the date of receipt of their advice letter. This time limit should be strictly adhered to.

41. What needs to be done in case where posts are transferred t Ministries/Departments?
Ans. The Ministry/Departments concerned should mutually agree for transfer of the posts and the same should be concurred by Department of Expenditure. Thereafter, the existing RR needs to be de-notified in consultation of Department of Personnel & Training, Union Public Service Commission and Ministry of Law. Suitable recruitment rules in the transferred Department may be framed/ amended following due procedure.

Normalization Methods adopted by KVS for preparing the final result of LDC examination

Normalization Methods adopted by KVS for preparing the final result of LDC examination

F.11054/2/2017/KVS(H)/RPS

Dated: 16.04.2018

NOTICE

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has conducted the written Examination for the post of Lower Division Clerk from 19th February, 2018 to 23rd February, 2018 in various shifts. In preperation of result of written examination for the post of LDC, Score Normalization Method has been adopted by KVS. The formula of Score Normalization Method is placed below.

sd/-
(TAJUDDIN SHAIK)
Assistant Commissioner (RPS)

Score Normalization

About Normalization
Normalization means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale.

Need for Normalization in Exam
Exam pertaining for a particular post/course could be spread across multiple shifts which will have different question paper for each shift. Hence the normalization of scores need to be carried out for all the candidates who had written the exam, across shifts for the same post/course.

Normally, after the exam, candidates are provided a window of few days, post the publishing of question paper and the correct keys. Based on the objections raised, SMEs work on that and with customer consultation finalize to ignore some objected questions and the remaining questions will be considered for score evaluation and subsequently the score normalization.

Inputs required for score normalization process
1. Raw score report of the candidates who appeared for a particular post, across all shifts.
2. The actual number of valid questions to be considered, post the objection

Score Normalization logic
The following has to be calculated across all shifts for all the candidates who have written the exam for the same post.

Total Number of Questions (A)
Defined as the number of questions available in the question paper. (e.g. 120 questions)

As an example, ASSUME the question papers has 120 questions

Total Number of Correct Questions (B)
Defined as the number of valid questions which have to be considered for score evaluation and score normalization, post the finalization of questions after the candidates have raised objections (if any)

B = A – # questions which are removed post candidate objections

ASSUME there are 3 invalid questions in (A)

Then B = 120-3 = 117

Example: ASSUME a candidate has attempted 103 out of 117 questions, of which 98 are correct responses and 5 are wrong resonses. 14 un-attempted questions will be Blanks.

Total Correct Responses (C)
Defined as the number of responses which are answered correctly by the candidate for the total number of valid questions (B)

In the example C = 98
Candidate Score (D)
Total Correct responses (D)

In the example D = 98

Candidate Score to be considered for Normalization (E)
Consider the case where scores will be based on 120. So, score (D) of every candidate is to be prorated i.e. it has to be multiplied by the factor: 120/B

In the example E = (D/B)*100 = (98/117)*120 = 120 = 100.5128205

Now we need to calculate Average and Standard Deviation for each Shift

Calculation of Standard Deviation Example : 9 candidates attended a shift

Xav is the average which is total marks divided by no. of candidates

D or X
(raw score for 120)
X = (X-Xav)

N = 9
Total = L = ∑X = 585
∑ x² = 4356

Xav = : L /No. of candidates present for that particular shift = 585 / 9 = 65

Standard Deviation = square root of ∑x²/N = square root of 4356/9 = square root of 484 = 22

Total Raw Scores for all candidates in a shift (L)
Sum of Raw candidates raw scores (X) for all candidates in a shift

L = ∑X

In the SD example L = 585

Simple Average (Xav)

Total Raw score for all candidates in a shift (L) / Total candidate (Present) count for a shift
= L /N

Standared Deviation (S)
Calculated at a shift level bases on the candidate’s scores

To be calculated as explained in the example

Normalized Score for each candidate (Xn)

Xn = (S2/S1) * (X-Xav) + Yav

S2 
Is the SD of the shift with the Highest Average
Score taken as base for normalization
S1
Standard Deviation for the corresponding shift (to
be scaled to S2)
x
Raw score of a candidate
Xav
Simple average of the Shift
Yav
Average corresponding to shift with highest Average
(taken as base for normalization)

Criteria for choosing the base for normalization is generally taken as the shift with ‘Highest Average’ of raw scores. Only exception is made if this shift (with highest average) has far less number of candidates as compared to other shifts. In that case we take the next shift with ‘highest Average’ as base for normalization.

70% of the average attendance is the limit. Any value below this should not be considered for the base. (This percentage can be set to any value)
