Comrades from Karnataka had raised the following points in their communication which was placed before the meeting for discussion.

Revision of Pension. Change needed in the multiplication factor.  The multiplication factor would undergo change once the minimum as determined by the 7^th CPC. Is revised by the Government during negotiation.

Uniform Multiplication factor. They wanted the uniform multiplication factor to be applied in the determination of the pay matrix for various levels.  Com. Kutty said that the same has been taken up already with the Government.  However, the same is linked with the determination of the minimum wage, he added.

To count the number of increments earned instead of the number of years of service one has put in  the computation of Pension under Option 2 stipulated by the 7^th CPC. Thisis to take care of the advance increments gained by the I.T. employees  and officers for passing the various examinations. It was pointed out at the meeting that the demand before the Government in this regard is could be formulated only when their decision in this regard is made known.

To increase the 7 year norm to 10 year for enhanced family pension

Increasing FMA. Etc . The demand before the Government is to enhance the FMA toRs. 2000 p.m.                                                 

Commutation value to be refunded after 12 years.   The working in this regard sent by the Karnataka affiliate will be placed on the website whereby the demand for refund of the value after 12 years gets justified.
