The state government has demanded Rs 484 crore from the University Grants Commission (UGC) to give UGC pay scale to government college teachers and university teachers of the state. The state government has already issued orders for payment of UGC scale to government college teachers. Orders to this effect for university teachers are yet to be issued.
Higher Education Department of the State Government has sent a demand letter to the UGC. The letter said the state government required Rs 406 crore for giving UGC pay scale to government college teachers and Rs 78 crore for university teachers.
The UGC provides 80 per cent of the expenses for five years for giving UGC pay scale to government college teachers and university teachers. The remaining 20 per cent has to be borne by the state government.
On Wednesday the state government in its reply to the court has expressed its intention to give UGC pay scale to the teachers. After the matter reached the High Court the state government is taking interest on the issue. During the agitation of the teachers Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was told that Rs 1700 crore would be needed for giving UGC pay scale to the teachers.

UFBU was signed an agreement with IBA on 27.11.2009. MOU is valid for 90 days, ie.ending on 24th Feb 2010. Till date the exact loading of basic pay was now known. Extending the annual increment stage from 20th is also not yet confirmed. 10 Stagnation increments with the intervals of 2 years is also not yet settled. Removing the class CCA will lose to CCA centre. How UFBU compensate the CCA with HRA?. I have read the article that the indian banking system is very strong. Financial position was also too good when compared to world bank but the Govt. and also the IBA are restrict the pay structure for bank employees/officals. Why don't they offer very good package to the banking sector. Around 4% of overall load of 17.5% will go to 2nd option pension cost. New entrances are reluctant to enter the banking sectors because of the poor salary structure offered by IBA and the Govt. Please bring the contents of this matter to the Govt. and IBA.
Dear friends,
My feeling with regard to 9th BPS is that IBA will have to finalise the settlement before 24th of February 09 whether UFBU likes it or not as there is already pressure from Ministry of Finance that Income tax on the arrears to be paid should be accounted in this financial year itself so that at least to that extent the govt revenue deficit will come down.
Therefore in all probability the settlement will be over on or before 24th of February 2010 itself.
