they can offer ma(imum of 11 %( !"rea#e $% mea&er 1 % M' em()a##* '

2he ,entral govt. employees are demanding merger of 3A with Basic once the

%present 3A rate is <0/ of Basic'H At the present rate of 3AG97.50%for

3uring <
th

the ,ommercial Ban" ;mployeesH ?hile all 1 wor"men 4nions signed
Bipartite to ind all ?or"men ;mployees. #t is e(clusively its applicale in
SB# only
#n view of the fact Ban"ers that ecause of poor pay Band! new 8ecruits are
shying away from the Ban" .o. ?hen all other sectors are marching ahead
10
with si-eale wage pac"et a paltry wage increase ranging made the Ban"ing
sector is an unattractive destination.
THEREFORE RATE HIGHER THAN 6+16% HAS TO DEMDNED IN
LIEA OF THE FOLLOAING REASONS
,onsidering the present rate of inflation! future inflation and the anticipated
salaries of central government staff after @th ,),! it will e very fair and .ust
for the an" staff to demand these.
1. 2he revised Basic )ay must e not less than 200/ of the e(isting
one.
2. ,ompensation for increase in A#,)# in the form of 3.A. must e not
less than 0.11/ each sla of 4 points in the 1<$0>100 series. #t will
e suicidal to agree for 0.10/ .
3. ?age revision of central government employees in the past! the
revised scales are close to 300/ %3 times' every time! in the 10 years
cycle. #n case of an"ers! the revised scales are 110/ %1.10 times'
after revision once in 1 years. 2hus in each cycle of 10 years! the
revision amounts to 221/ %2.21 times' for an" staff. ?hich one is
superior! 221/ or 300/ in 10 LearsJ
4. )recisely ecause of this reason! our wages have consistently come
down relatively. 2oday! we have sun" to the ottom! from the top
position we en.oyed 30 years ago.
1' #n contrast let us have loo" at the scale of pay of the government
employees in the last stage .
