Gold coins at rebate prices

Despite the soaring prices of gold, here's some reason to feel good for all the government officials, who are willing to purchase gold coins this festive season.

For the ongoing festive month, the Post Office department has launched a scheme to give a rebate of 6 per cent on the purchase of gold coin from September 24 till October 24 to all the government officials.

Besides this, a scheme for general customers was also launched where 0.5 gram gold would be given free to all those who would purchase 10 gram gold from the post office. "To avail this scheme, the customers are required to buy two coins of 5 gm each or a single coin of 8 gm or two coins of 1 gm each. Out of these two schemes a customer can only opt for one."

Notably, all across the country the Indian Postal Department along with a private financial firm is selling 24 carat gold coins to all the post offices.

Pay Calculator (Under Maintenance)

Present Pay including Grade Pay Rs.

Gross Emoluments

Illustration 1: If an employee H is presently drawing Pay of Rs 55,040 (Pay in the Pay Band Rs 46340 + Grade Pay Rs 8700 = Rs 55040), his pay should be entered in the calculator as Rs 55040 i.e including Grade Pay. The Pay will be fixed as Rs 1,41,600 (Example No I in Para No 5.1.29)

Illustration 2: If an employee T is presently drawing pay of Rs 24,200 (Rs 20,000 + 4,200) and if the post occupied by T is placed one level higher in GP 4600, then the basic pay should be entered as Rs 24,600 (Rs 20,000 + 4,600) and the pay will be fixed as Rs 64,100 (Example No II in Para 5.1.29). Hence, this example is applicable to Inspector Posts in our Department.

Illustration 3: In our Department the GP of IP/ASP/SP has been upgraded to Rs 4600, 4800 and 5400 respectively. Hence as per the Illustration 2 given below Para 5.1.29, the MACP IPs and MACP ASPs are eligible for GP Rs 4800 and Rs 5400 respectively. i.e their new pay level would be 8 and 9.

Case I - Para 10.1.70:

Pensioner 'A' retired at last pay drawn of Rs 79,000 on 30.5.2015 under VI CPC regime, having drawn three increments in the HAG scale 67000-79000. Basic Pension fixed in VI CPC is Rs 39,500. Initial pension to be fixed under VII CPC is Rs 1,01,515 (39,500 X 2.57) This is Option 1. Notional Pay fixation based on 3 increments is Rs. 199100. Hence option 2 would be 50 percent of Rs 199100 i.e Rs 99,550. As option 1 is higher, pension admissible is Rs 1,01,515.

Case II - Para 10.1.71:

Pensioner 'B' retired at last pay drawn of Rs 4,000 on 31.1.1989 under IV CPC regime, having drawn 9 increments in the pay scale of Rs 3000-100-3500-125-450. Basic pension revised in VI CPC is Rs 12,543. Initial pension fixed under VII CPC is Rs 32,236 (Rs 12,543 X 2.57). This is Option 1. Notional Pay fixation based on 9 increments is Rs 88,400. Hence option 2 would be 50% of 88,400 i.e Rs 44,200. As option 2 is higher, pension admissible is Rs 44,200.
