OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Payment of Death Gratuity to a minor — regarding

In accordance with the existing instructions, the payment of a portion of death gratuity could be made to the guardian, in the absence of a natural guardian, without production of a guardianship certificate. As per the existing orders, an amount of Rs.10,000/- (or the first Rs.10,000/- where amount exceeds Rs.10,000/-)in favour of a minor could be made to his/her guardian, in the absence of a natural guardian, without production of a formal guardianship certificate but subject to production of an indemnity bond.

2. The above issue has been examined and in modification of the above orders, it has been decided that the payment of death gratuity in respect of a minor to the extent of 20% or Rs.1.50 lakh, whichever is less may be paid to his/her guardian, in the absence of natural guardian, without the production of a formal guardianship certificate but subject to the production of an indemnity bond with suitable sureties. The balance in excess of 20% or Rs.1.50 lakhs, as the case may be, would become payable on the production of a certificate of guardianship.

3. It is essential however, that there should be adequate prima facie grounds for making payment as in paragraph 2 above, to the person claiming it. Such ground can exist only if he is shown by a declaration to be a de facto guardian and his bona fides have been ascertained. Even if a guardian has not yet been appointed by the Court, if the minor and his property are in the custody of some person, such person is in law a de facto guardian. The authorities making the payment, should, therefore, require the person who comes forward to claim payment on behalf of the minor, to satisfy themselves by a form that he is in charge of the property of the minor and is looking after it or that, if the minor has no property other than the gratuity, the minor is in his custody and care. The form so to be produced is in addition to the indemnity bond with suitable sureties.

5. It has been decided that the stamp duty payable on the indemnity bond will be borne by the Government. The indemnity bond, should, therefore, be executed on any durable plain paper.

6. The indemnity bond should be signed by the obligor and the surety/sureties or their respective attorneys appointed by power(s) of attorney. The indemnity bond on behalf of the President should be accepted by an officer duly authorized under Article 229(1) of the Constitution.

7th Pay Commission Pay Scales - Differences between 6th & 7th Pay Commissions, Latest News on 7th Pay Commission Report


The 7th Pay Commission India was constituted with a resolution on 28th February, 2014. 18 months time was given to Seventh Pay Commission to make it’s recommendations on 7th Pay Commission pay scales to the government of India. During this time the central government employees are making speculations on the possible pay scales recommended by7th Commission Board. Most of the central govt. employees are surfing the net for hours for 7th Pay Commission latest news and Central Government employee’s latest news. We the “7th Pay Commission Latest News” website is updating you with the latest news on 7th Pay Commission report.

At the ratio on what the pay commissions were fixed so far, The Seventh Pay Commission Latest News prepared a chart on possible pay scales in 7th CPC. This is only an expectation and the Central Government employees are advised not to think this as final and please wait until the 7th CPC report is finally declared. However can get an idea by studying the below chart how the 7th pay commission is going to be and 7th Pay Commission Structure.

Expected pay scales of 7th Pay Commission for Central Government Employees

7th Pay Commission Pay Scale / Salary Calculator

If you are very eager to know your Basic Salary after seventh pay commission through 7th CPC Latest News, you can check your basic salary through the 7th Pay Commission Calculator.

6th Pay Commission Procedure

The Sixth Pay Commission which was the previous pay commission to 7th Pay Commission mainly focussed on removing ambiguity in respect of the existing pay scales and, introducing the idea of running ‘Pay Bands’ to remove stagnation , while reducing the number of pay scales to 20. The 6th pay commission recommended for removal of Group – D cadre. With a wide gap in the minimum and maximum scales, the ratio was fixed at 1:12 with lowest scale at Rs.7000 at Rs.90000 at the highest level in Sixth Pay Commission. The same is expected in the 7th Pay Commission also as per the Seventh Pay Commission current news.

7th Pay Commission Demands by Central Government Employees

Now the Seventh Pay Commission is constituted. So far conventionally the periods or Pay Revisions to Central Government employees was 10 years. However, the Employees’ Unions have been demanding for reduction of this period to 5 years in line with the conventional periodical wage revisions for every 5 years in Public Sector Undertakings. The Defence Forces are demanding for wages commensurate with the nature of their risky duties, for proper representation for them in the 7th Pay Commission and for application of the concept of ‘one rank – one salary’ and ‘one rank – one pension’.

By the time of the constitution of the 6th Pay Commission, the method of sanction of DA to Central Government employees was in vogue from 1st January 2006, not as arbitrary sanction by the Government, but on a systematic basis basing of CPI (Consumer Price Index) and revision there of every six months. Citing this as virtual pay revision, the Vajpayee government has turned down the Employees’ Unions demand for constitution of Pay Commission during the year 2003. As per the latest news on 7th pay commission, taking this as a cue, the industry circles state that since this DA rise every six months is virtual pay revision, there is no necessity for constitution of a Pay Commission 7th.

A number of wage hike projections are going round presuming a uniform multiplying factor band between 2.5 and 3.5 taking into account the initial pay scales; but in effect the hike may not be that much in 7th Pay Commission, but may be likely in the range between 10% and 30% on the actual gross salary drawn prior to 1st January 2016, the expected date ofimplementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. However keep in touch with 7th Pay Commission latest news for updates on 7th Pay Commission 2016.

The account could be opened in a post office or a public sector bank. A depositor may open and operate only one account in the name of a girl child under these rules after furnishing birth certificate of the girl child along with other documents relating to identity and residence proof of the depositor. 

Natural or legal guardian of a girl child will be allowed to open accounts for two girl children only except if the depositor has twin girls as second birth or if the first birth itself results into three girl children. 

The government will notify interest rate on this scheme every year. The account may be opened with an initial deposit of Rs 1,000 and the reafter any amount in multiples of Rs 100 may be deposited, subject to the condition that a minimum ofRs 1,000 will be deposited in a financial year but the total money deposited in an account on a single occasion or on multiple occasions shall not exceed Rs 150,000 in a financial year.

FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 -WHEN IT WILL COME-DA ARREARS CALCULATOR




FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 -WHEN IT WILL COME


No one can deny the fact that DA is a very important allowance as of now. This applies to both state and central government employees. On the 28th of February 2014, 10 % DA increase was approved by the cabinet and then the announcement about the same came out. In the past, mostly, this announcement and the Finance Ministry order have come out in the month of March. Hardly, has this ever changed so far. So the finance ministry order on DA is expected to come soon.




After the order on the 10% DA is received, the corresponding DA value will be paid as arrears for the first two months and then it will paid along with the month’s salary. Similarly, every time when the DA touches 50%, some allowances can increase up to 25%. We have already got the benefits of the 50% DA increase. Now, as it has reached 100%, a formal announcement is expected to come out soon. Everyone can easily calculate the benefits that we’ll get from a 10% increase. However, for your convenience, I have attached a calculator to help you to find out how much you will get as two month’s arrears and the other benefits that you will get due to the DA increase.
