Pay Revision of Unit Run Canteen Employees
The Unit Run Canteen (URC) employees are getting paid as per the rules
regulating the terms and conditions of the services of the civilian
employees of the URCs, issued by Army Headquarters in April 2003. These
rules were made as per the directions of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India
dated 4th January 2001, in the case of Union of India Vs. M. Aslam and
others.
It has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, in its order dated
28.4.2009, in the case of R.R. Pillai vs. Commanding Officer HQ SAC (U),
that employees of URC are not Government Servants. Hence, the benefits
of Sixth Pay Commission are not applicable to them. However, the basic
pay of URC employees was enhanced by 50% w.e.f. 1.2.2009 and by another
15% w.e.f. 1.12.2009.
This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Veer Singh in Rajya Sabha today.
