No Income tax on additional interest on EPF money
No tax on additional interest on EPF money (diff. of 9.5 and 8.5 %)
The additional quantum of interest on Employees Provident Fund deposits would be exempted from income tax, the LokSabha was informed today. The provident fund trustees had on September 15 decided to raise the EPF interest rate by 1% to 9.5 for 2010-11.
However as per income tax rules interest on EPF is exempted only upto 8.5 % only .so as per present rule though the interest payable is 9.5% but interest exempted is only 8.5% means additional 1 % is taxable in employee's hand .But now in Lok sabha Govt has declared that in rate given in income tax for exemption for interest on EPF will also be increased to 9.5 %
"The matter has been discussed with Finance Ministry and they have informed that they will revise the notification to 9.5% once it is approved by the Government," Minister of State for Labour and Employment Harish Rawat said in a written reply. The decision taken by the Central Board of Trustees of EPF to raise the interest rate would benefit 4.71 crore employees in both public and private sectors.

Seniority will be assigned as per Rank in merit list irrespective of date of joining
Seniority will be assigned as per Rank in merit list irrespective of date of joining
-----------
A Bench of Justice S D Anand and Dr. A K Mishra at the Chandigarh Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal have held that the relevant criterion for determining seniority would have to be order of merit at the time of appointment and not date of joining government service.
In the case in question police inspector Harjit Kaur, presently on deputation with CBI, had challenged denial of seniority over two other colleagues who were placed above her in seniority list on the basis of their date of joining service.
Petitioner claimed that at the time of initial appointment she was placed third in merit list for women recruits. However Kaur could was offered appointment only when the second in list was found medically unfit. In the meantime other colleagues joined the department 18 days prior to the petitioner.
An office order dated 21 April,1989 passed by the then Senior Superintendent of Police, U.T., however came to Kaur’s rescue which stated that she be placed senior to ASI’s Dilsher Singh and Gurmukh Singh selected in the same recruitment process keeping in view their lower rank in the merit list.
Kaur who had already received two promotions based on the seniority fixed in 1989 was in for a shock when she was on deputation at a UN Peace Keeping Mission at Kosovo. By a office order she was placed at a lower level than the other two ASI’s. Upon contesting her case the Director General of Police, U.T., on 5 November, 2009 turned down her plea primarily on the ground of delay and latches.
Agreeing with Kaur’s counsel the Bench held that as per Rule 12.2 (3) of the Punjab Police Rules, as applicable to U.T. Chandigarh, the inter-se seniority of police officers of the same selection, has to be reckoned by the order of merit as determined/ fixed by the selection body. Giving relief the Bench ruled that the petitioner shall be treated as senior to Dilsher Singh and Gurmukh Singh for all intents and purposes and shall also be entitled to the consequential benefits.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Communicating tentative reasons for disagreement under rule 15(2) of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965.
————————-
The undersigned is directed to say that rule 15(2) of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 states that ‘The Disciplinary Authority shall forward or cause to be forwarded a copy of the report of the inquiry, if any, held by Disciplinary Authority or where the Disciplinary Authority is not the Inquiring Authority, a copy of the report of the Inquiring Authority together with its own tentative reasons for disagreement, if any, with the findings of Inquiry Authority on any article of charge to the Government Servant who shall be required to submit, if he so desires, his written representation or submission to the Disciplinary Authority within fifteen days, irrespective of whether the report is favourable or not, to the Government Servant.
2. The necessity of following the aforementioned rule 15(2) both in letter and spirit is reiterated. The communication forwarding the I0’s report alongwith the 7 tentative reasons for disagreement, if any, seeking comments / representation of the Charged officer should reflect this position. All Ministries / Departments are, therefore, requested to ensure that the communication forwarding ‘the I0’s report etc. does not contain phrases such as ‘Article of charge is fully proved’ or ‘Article of charge is fully substantiated’ which could be construed to mean that the disciplinary authority is biased even before considering the representation of the charged officer and this would be against the letter and spirit of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965.
3. Ministry of Finance etc. may bring the contents of the above OM to the notice of all concerned.
