Agenda Item No 8:
Representation of the President, INTUC, Hyderabad for inclusion and incorporation of

the certain items like Night time allowance to the workers working in the remote
areas, Special Allowance for risk/ hazardous works to certain category of workers
and Category wise Fixation of wages in respect of Unskilled, Semi-skilled, Skilled
and Highly Skilled categories – Forwarded by ENC(SR & CRN), R&B Dept., and
ENC(PR), PR Dept., requesting to place before BOCEs - For discussion & necessary
recommendation – Regarding.
The President, Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), Hyderabad

vide letter dated 16.09.2019 has requested for inclusion of certain items pertaining to
applicability of Night allowance, Special Allowance for risk/ hazardous works
fixation of wages in respect of the Unskilled, Semiskilled and skilled categories
according to the guidelines of the Planning Commission and to maintain the difference
of minimum percentage between one category to another and also to add the Highly
Skilled Category in their Labour Rates, so as to help the poor unorganized workers
working in other projects / works in the entire state, irrespective of areas they are
working, may be placed before the Board meeting of SoR for incorporation in the
Telangana State Common Schedule of Rates
I. Night time allowance to the workers working in the remote areas during the night
time in the works of all the Engineering Departments in the entire State in the SoR
(Telangana State Common Schedule of Rates) on the following grounds.
 Most of the projects / works undertaken by the Government Engineering
Departments are in the remote areas or in very far off places and in other words
the workers were forced to work far away from their place of residences.
 In Schedule of Rates for the year 2019-20 is applicable for the workers
engaged by the contracting agencies in all the works of Government
Engineering Departments, the Board of Chief Engineers considered 25% extra
over the corresponding Labour Rates in respect of the works to be done during
38
night time but were applicable for the works taken up under Greater
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Greater Warangal Municipal
Corporation Limits only.
 The workers working in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Greater
Warangal Municipal Corporation Limits are in the centre of the population and
having transportation and other facilities, but the workers in the Major Projects
/ Works are working in the remote areas, where there are no such proper
facilities. As such the workers working in remote projects/ works really deserve
for sanction of night allowance.
 The construction workers are working in the areas covered by the GHMC and
GWMC Limits are working against all odds. In the same way, the workers are
also working in the remote areas in other projects / works of the Government
Engineering Departments against the nature and it is not justifiable to deny the
same allowance to them on par with the workers working in the GHMC and
GWMC Limits.
II. Special Allowance for risk/ hazardous works to certain category of workers
working in Governmental Engineering Works of all the Engineering Departments
in the entire State in the SoR (Telangana State Common Schedule of Rates) on the
following grounds.
 The Ministry of Labour & Employment, Govt. of India, New Delhi, where in
orders were issued that;
(i) Workers employed on high rise structures, that is on or above thirty feet
height, even for one hour in a day shall be paid 20% extra wages of the
minimum wages so fixed for the appropriate category.
(ii) Workers employed on tunnel working shall be paid 20% of the
minimum wages fixed under this notification for the appropriate
category" and separate wages were fixed for workers working above
ground and below ground.
 In The Gazette of India: Extraordinary (Part.II Sec.3 (ii)) orders, it is explained
that a worker working below ground means that a person working or employed
in an open cast working in which the depth of the excavation measured from its
39
highest to its lowest point exceeds 6 ft. keeping in view the hazardous nature
of work.
 In the Schedule of Rates to the workers working in Governmental Engineering
works, no such allowance was allowed to the workers working in risk /
hazardous works in Governmental Engineering works such as Kaleshwaram
Project (Pranahitha Chevella Lift Irrigation Scheme), Palamuru Rangareddy
Lift Irrigation Scheme, Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Scheme, Dindi Lift Irrigation
Scheme, Tunnel works, Boiler houses, chimneys, water overhead tanks, Multi-
storied buildings underground pipelines, etc.
III. Fixation of wages in respect of Unskilled, Semi-skilled, Skilled and Highly Skilled
categories as per the norms stated by the Labour Department and Rectification of
the same in Telangana State Common Schedule of Rates on the following grounds
 During the year 2014, President of INTUC filed RTI Application before the
PIO, O/o the Commissioner of Labour, Govt. of Telangana, for furnishing the
guidelines on fixation of Skilled, Semiskilled and Unskilled categories under
the Right to Information Act, 2005. The 1st Appellate Authority and
Commissioner of Labour, Govt. of Telangana, issued orders on the appeal filed
is as follows:
"The Principal Advisor, Planning Commission, Govt. of India, New Delhi vide
Letter dated 18.09.2006 informed that it is proposed to have the wage
differentials at 15-18 % between unskilled to semi-skilled and skilled. Further
informed that, in the year 1999-2000 through Job Evaluation Technique, a
Study was carried out as to what should be the differences and it was proposed
to have differences 19-20 % between unskilled to semi-skilled and 12-13 %
between semi-skilled to skilled".
 The President of INTUC Hyderabad mentioned in his letter that the fixation of
wages by the Board of Chief Engineers in Telangana State Common Schedule
of Rates, for the above categories is not in accordance with the clarification
issued by the Planning Commission, Govt. India, New Delhi. The variation
in percentage of wage between the unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled
categories when compared with the clarification by the Planning Commission
40
and the wages fixed in the Telangana State Common Schedule of Rates is as
follows:
Percentage of hike
Percentage of hike from the lower
Schedule Rate for
SI. Category of from the lower category as per
the year 2019-20
No Worker category as per Planning
per day
SoR Commission
guidelines.
Rs.490/- to
1 Skilled 4.25% to 27.66% 12 to 13%
Rs.600/-
Semi-
2 Rs.470/- 5.62% 19 to 20%
Skilled
3 Un-Skilled Rs.445/- - -
 Further the President submitted that, the wages of other category workers
ranged from Rs.470 to Rs. 1,075/-, which may not be desirable, because the
wages cannot vary to such an extent within one category. Because, this may
create confusion among the categories for payment of minimum wages.
 The Government of India and the erstwhile Government of Andhra Pradesh fix
the wages for another higher category i.e., Highly Skilled Category vide S.O.
No.188(E) dated 19.01.2017and G.O.Ms.No.11 of LET&F (Lab.II)
Department, dated 17.01.2012 respectively. But in the Telangana State
Common Schedule of Rates, no such higher category was shown in the Labour
Rates due to which the workers may be put to financial loss.

(BOCEs)for its discussion and necessary recommendation – Regarding
Proposed by Engineer-in- Chief (AW), I & CAD Dept. and

As per the provisions of the Presidential Order 1975, G.S.R.No.529 (E) dated
18th October, 1975 issued under Paragraph specified Gazetted categories listed in the
3rd Schedule, the post of Deputy Executive Engineer was under Specified Gazetted
Categories in the local cadre. It was in the Zonal Cadre as per the Presidential Order
1975.
The initial recruitment cadre of Assistant Executive Engineer /Assistant

Engineer and promotional cadre of Deputy Executive Engineer are in zonal cadre as
per the presidential Order 1975. The recruitment to the cadre of Assistant Executive
Engineer was uneven among different zones. Since, both the cadres are in zonal post,
promotions are given to the Assistant Executive Engineers to the vacancies of
Deputy Executive Engineers of respective zone, due to which Engineers of one batch
of one zone are marching ahead in promotions when compared to others in the cadre
of Executive Engineer and higher cadres as integration is taking place in the cadre of
Deputy Executive Engineer. It has become a burning issue in the Department. But the
Presidential order 1975 has not allowed any room for resolving the issue. Now, the
Government have brought new presidential order 2018, where in a Para6(3) gives way
to overcome the above problem, by organizing Deputy Executive Engineer cadre in to
State Cadre.
The Government of India vide GSR.No.820(E), Ministry of Home Affairs,

dated 29-08-2018 have issued new Presidential Order, the Telangana Public
Employment (Organization of Local Cadres & Regulation of Direct Recruitment)

Administration(SPF-MC) Department, dated 30-08-2018, a category equivalent to or
lower than that of a Deputy Collector, i.e minimum of the scale of pay of a post
belonging to that category or where the post carries a fixed pay, such fixed pay is
equal to or lower than the minimum of the scale of pay of a Deputy Collector, shall be
organized to local cadre of Multi Zonal Post.
The scale of pay of Deputy Collector as per 2015 PRC is Rs.40270-93780. The
pay scale of the post of Deputy Executive Engineer is Rs. 42490-96110, which is
higher than the pay scale of Deputy Collector.
The post of Deputy Executive Engineer is not a Direct Recruitment Post. As per
the TSES Service Rules vide communicated G.O.Ms.No.32 I & CAD (Ser.I) Dept
Dt:25-04-2018, the post of Deputy Executive Engineer is a promotional post only.
As per new presidential order, Local Cadres are organized for the purpose of
recruitment, appointment and discharge. There will be no adverse effect on any other
cadre in organizing local cadres, as each cadre shall be organized in to a local cadre
based on the scale of pay of that cadre as per the new presidential order 2018.The
cadre of Deputy Executive Engineer shall be treated outside the local cadre ie., the
post of Deputy Executive Engineer shall be State Cadre post.
To have a uniform method of organizing local cadres in respect of Engineering

cadres of all Engineering Departments of the State, the subject issue along with copy
of new Presidential order published in Telangana Gazettee vide G.O.Ms.No.124,
General Administration (SPF-MC) Department, dated 30-08-2018 is placed before
