Plans to make it an efficient, cost-effective provider of services: Sibal

Union Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal, who also holds the charge of Department of Posts, has now turned his focus on expanding the scope of India Post to take on the growing challenge from private courier business and diversify into banking.

"We have started the process of formulating the National Postal Policy with a two-pronged approach — to develop services that assist, facilitate, enhance and quicken the process of development aimed at inclusive growth, and reposition India Post to make it a self-sufficient, efficient and cost-effective provider of these services," Mr. Sibal said at a meeting organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on Wednesday.

Acknowledging the challenge being posed by private courier firms to India Post, Mr. Sibal said the government would soon start registering these entities as under the present rules and regulations they were not allowed to do business. "This will give courier service-providers legal recognition…we are suggesting registration, not licensing. We have no intention of licensing the courier industry and will only register them to know the size and status of the industry," he said.

Vast reach

Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot said: "With over 1.55-lakh post offices, 95 per cent of which are located in rural areas, we are well placed to provide all kinds of services to people across India, particularly those living in villages and remote locations. We are assisting various government development programmes, while through banking facilities we can assist the Centre's initiative of providing financial inclusion to every citizen."

Notably, the Department of Posts has already applied for a banking licence from the Reserve Bank of India, while Mr. Sibal has recently written to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to expedite the matter.

Mr. Pilot also pointed out that India Post had undertaken a massive drive to modernise its post offices to offer global standards of service to customers. "We need to create viable revenue models and adopt latest technologies for improving service delivery. India Post is gearing up to face future challenges… we will adopt various measures to transform the Postal Department in tune with the changing nature of services," he added.

Pension fund regulator makes the right move

2012-01-31T18:45:00.001+05:30

Pension fund regulator makes the right move

The pension fund regulator has done well to raise the commission for distributors of the National Pension System (NPS). A higher return for the banks and financial institutions that open NPS accounts for subscribers will motivate them to market the scheme better.

From January 16, distributors are charging Rs 100 to open an account and 0.25% of the amount contributed initially by the subscriber, subject to a minimum of Rs 20 and a maximum of Rs 25,000. A subscriber is also being charged 0.25% for every transaction. PoPs can negotiate these charges with subscribers, but that is going to be cumbersome. Also, the amount is meagre at the lower end.

Yet, the new ad valorem commission structure will induce distributors to market the NPS. Bolder reforms are needed to incentivise fund managers and popularise the NPS, which has the institutional framework to generate superior returns on old-age savings.
The government must make better use of its pension subsidy: instead of augmenting every voluntary subscription below Rs 12,000 by Rs 1,000, the government should use its money to underwrite initial overhead costs in asset management, distribution and record-keeping. The wafer-thin asset management charge of 0.0009% should be supplemented with a grant till sufficient scale is achieved.

Similarly, money should be provided from the Budget to meet central record-keeping costs. The regulator should drop its plan to allow fund managers to negotiate fees with subscribers. Fund managers manage a pool of savings and cannot be expected to negotiate charges with individual subscribers.

In any case, why create incentives for differential levels of asset management focus? It makes sense to limit the number of fund managers in the initial stage, so as to generate viable scale for each fund manager.

The simplest way to remove the need for any subsidy for the NPS is, of course, to amend the Employees Provident Fund Act to allow workers to voluntarily migrate to the NPS. That would swell NPS numbers, increase the pool of funds to be managed and grant fund managers greater flexibility in diversifying their portfolios across asset classes to minimise risk.

MEMORANDUM

Respected Sir,

Most respectfully we are submitting herewith a memorandum on most urgent and pressing problems of the Gramin Dak Sevak employees for your kind perusal.

The Department of Posts is the only department of the Government of India where there is a special category of employees working called Gramin Dak Sevaks. In fact the Gramin Dak Sevaks are the backbone of the postal department. The postal functions rendered at the nook and corner villages of the country covering 74% of population by the Gramin Dak Sevaks are of high order and quality. Almost every postal service i.e. M.N.R.E.G.S., Postal Life Insurance ( P.L.I/R.P.L.I) old age pension is provided in one or the other way at the Branch offices manned by the Gramin Dak Sevaks. The GDS officials are working more than ten hours a day to serve effectively to the villagers. But they are getting wages only for three to five hours work. Unfortunately, most of the facilities granted by the department to the departmental employees are denied to these low paid poor employees where as the duties, services, functions, risks and responsibilities of the G.D.S employees are similar and equal to those of departmental employees. Unlike other Bureaucratic committees, the independent committee headed by a retired Justice Charanjit Talwar had studied the service conditions of GDS, traveling length and breadth, and recommended all benefits due at par with Departmental staff but unfortunately the same were not implemented by the then Govt. in 1999. A few benefits were extended to them, that too with the same tradition of continuing exploitative policies. In fact the recommendations were based on rational and justified reasoning!

We, on behalf of the three lakh GDS employees urge your goodself to take necessary action to grant status/Regularisation as Government servant to GDS employees as recommended by Justice Talwar Committee. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in its landmark judgment dated 22-04-1977 held that the Extra Departmental agents (now Gramin Dak Sevaks) are holders of civil post.

We are submitting herewith a short note on most urgent and pressing problems of the Gramin Dak Sevaks who are the subjected to discrimination and exploitation.

1. Gross injustice and discrimination has been done to Gramin Dak Sevak employees by denying Bonus ceiling of Rs.3500/-, at par with Departmental staff. Bonus ceiling to GDS may be Rs.3500/- without any discrimination, please consider.

2. Removal of tightening of norms for GDSBPMs, Rs.20,000/- Cash handling per point is unreasonable. Hither to Rs.1000/- per point for Cash handling was in force. Similarly no norm is fixed for transactions done under MNREGS up to 20 transactions, Stamps sales norms Rs.900/- is unreasonable against the present Rs.45/- etc. Immediate review is requested as the most exploited GDS staff are subjected to much harassment. Their pay should be on the basis of minimum hours of attendance like Departmental staff, not on the basis of workload assessed unscientifically and irrationally.

3. Pay revision is always UPWARDS, but in case of many GDS downward revision has taken place and recoveries are ordered on the plea of wrong fixation. This is because of reading the rules and instructions in between the lines by local level officers/Audit officers. Pay hike is not as simple as assured to Departmental staff, utter discrimination towards HAVE NOTS.

4. Snatching away 25% of Promotional avenues of GDS employees against the prevailing rules, convention and practice. GDS officials are treated as outsiders for all purposes and their promotion is treated as DIRECT RECRUITMENT. Practice and pre-existing rules and norms for absorption of GDS in the department is logical and reasonable. Hence we request your kind honour to intervene in the matter. The ideal should be to systematically absorb the GDS into department by various method of DEPARTMENTALISATION, SO WE CRAVE FOR YOUR KIND INDULGENCE.

5. Hither to Compassionate appointment to the wards of GDS have been given as a welfare measure, without any condition or restrictions. Imposing unethical and unreasonable conditions and norms prescribed recently is against the principles of natural justice and law of the land. Introduction of irrational and unscientific methods to assess indigent circumstances of the family are quite unreasonable and unjust. Please look into this issue objectively and compassionately. Further no compassion is shown in respect of cases of physical disability/incapacity of GDS who toil for the department and the rural people unlike departmental staff. This facility is a mere gesture of humane approach towards.

6. The appointment of GDS employees in urban areas is itself a misnomer as the very name indicates that such employees are to be employed in rural areas only. Such GDS are deprived of HRA, CCA, Transport allowance etc., as the cost of living and transport, education, medical etc., are higher in metro and urban areas. Such employees need to be compensated adequately by extending all benefits that are given to regular employees. As regards urban area there are already recommendations not to appoint GDS. However appointment of GDS continued in clear violation of these principles. It is now requested that existing GDS in urban areas should be regularized as departmental staff and there should be no more employment of GDS in metro/urban areas.

7. The Departmental of Posts revised the then existing "Department of Posts E.D Agents (Conduct & Service) Rules 1964" as Department of Posts G.D.S. (Conduct & Employment) Rules 2001" after the partial and truncated implementation of the recommendations of Justice Talwar Committee. Since this was an obvious attempt of substitute the 'service' of the ED employees to mere'employment' in order to obviate the recommendations of Justice Talwar Committee, we had registered our strong reservation and protest to this change, but the department chose to hang on to its decision.

We, therefore, request you kindly to consider the case keeping in view the Judgement of the Supreme Court and issue necessary orders to withdraw the amendment. We would further request you kindly restore the 1964 Conduct & Service Rules.

We are overwhelmed with the tremendous response to the Strike call from every quarter of this organisation and we extend warm revolutionary Greetings to each and every member. The reports that we were receiving about the preparations were heart thrilling. Hats off to you, Comrades! Once again it is proved that the battle will not stop till we achieve desired results. It was a collective decision rather in the interest of both the department and the public. In the mean time certain developments have taken place. On 13^th January, 2012 JCA meeting was held at Delhi and reviewed the Strike preparations. Some section/cadres and some Circles had not taken action for due mobilization. However, the department called meeting on 27th December, 2011 and 10^th January 2012 and 12^th January 2012 with Secretary Dept. of Posts and Members of Postal Board. The minutes of the meeting is enclosed herewith. Of course there is slight improvement in few items like In the matter of enhancement of bonus ceiling of Gramin Dak Sevaks to Rs.3,500/- now finance Ministry agreed to re-look into, The issue of withdrawal of upward change in norms for cash handling etc. New recruitment rules for promotion of postman, Compassionate appoint of GDS agreed to reviewing the same, Filling up of GDS Mailmen posts in RMS Department agreed to re examine. The following issues of (a) Supply of chappal (b) repairs/replacements of fans (c) review of cash conveyance allowances.

Keeping the entire developments and circumstances in view in the interest of unity in JCA we have also agreed to call off the indefinite Strike of 17.01.2012.

HISTORIC STRIKE ON 28.02.2012

JOINT CALL OF ALL CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS, FEDERATIONS & INDEPENDINT UNIONS

INTUC, BMS, AITUC, CITU, HMS, AIUTUC, AICCTU, UTUC, TUCC, LPF, SEWA

AGAINST THE ANTI WORKING CLASS POLICIES OF THE GOVERNMENT

All the central Trade Unions to organize/observe countrywide strike on 28-02-2012 on most pressing demands of the workers, including postal workers and general, It is a historic call. Never before have all the central trade unions joined hands to call National wide strike. We have always participated in such National wide strike. In a meeting held on 23.12.2011 a large number of Federations including confederation of CGE's AIDEF, Banks, Telecom, Insurance, State Govts Employees Federation and Transport etc.etc. agreed to observe the strike. We should therefore observe this strike.

The attack on Postal and RMS Employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks is mainly due to the policy of the Government against which all the Central Trade unions and Federations are jointly fighting. We as Postal workers, it is our duty to join the working class in its fight against the anti-labour policies of the Government. The Central JCA (NFPE, FNPO, AIPEDEU, calls upon the entire Postal and RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks to conduct intensive preparations for making the 28^th February 2012 All India Strike a complete success. Strike notice will served by the Central JCA to the Secretary, Department of Posts.

7^th All India conference of our union from 6 to 8 Aril 2012:

The 7^th all India conference of AIPEDEU is being held at "Gurukunj Ashram" Amravati district of Maharashtra Circle, from 6 to 8 April 2012. Further details information will be followed by reception committee and CHQ. All are requested to make necessary arrangement for railway reservation.

GDS CHQ released Book Van Guard to GDS Ruling:

It is a matter of pleasure that On the nice occasion of JOINT CIRCLE CONFERENCE OF KARNATAKA CIRCLE at SHIMOGA ON 08.01.2012 THE BOOK VAN GUARD TO GDS RULING IS RELEASED. Updated information GDS rulings/welfare available for your daily references. We believe that it would be useful in the routine to address many issues/problems.

The book is sold for Rs.100/- on no cost and no profit basis. Please buy and encourage all to have one. The CHQ will send VVP to the Divisional Secretaries; all are requested to collect it. We also publish Hindi version now under print.

Remmittance of Quota and Dues:

Comrades, the position of receipt of quota by the CHQ is again very disheartening. The Divisional/Branch union get their subscription every month from the DDO's but the remittance of quota to CHQ is rather very casual. The Divisional Presidents and Secretaries will please ensure timely remittance of quota.

Appeal

The CHQ calls upon All the CWC Members/Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries and active members to make the ONE DAY GENERAL STRIKE ON 28.FEB, 2012 a programme of resounding success. It is requested to arrange press conference and other publicity to popularise our demands. A report may also be sent to the CHQ.

With salutations and greetings for a happy New Year.

Yours fraternally,

No. 17/103/2007-GDS Dated: 06 Jan 2012

FILLING UP OF VACANT POSTS OF GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS

Postal Joint Council of Action has taken up the issue of filling up all vacant post of GDS as one of the strike issues with the Department. While the Department has periodically reviewed the existing instructions on the issue and reiteratd the same to all concerned from time to time in the past, it appears that the instructions issued on the subject are not being meticulously followed in the field. The need for timely action to initiate action to fill up the vacant posts and adherence to guidelines for substitute and provisional arrangements need to be realized in right perspective in the overall operational interest by all concerned. Keeping this in view, the gist of the instructions/guidelines on the issue is, therefore, again circulated for the information and strict compliance as under:-

(a) Vacant posts of GDS BPM in Branch Post Offices with a single establishment were allowed to be filled up straight away by the Divisional Head to ensure basic postal services and facilities in the rural areas through the existing Branch Post Office vide Para 2(i) of DG Posts letter No. 17-103/2007-GDS dated 14.07.2009. It was further provided in para 2(ii) of the letter ibid that the vacant post of GDS in Branch Post Offices with two or more hands may be filled up on the basis of triennial review already carried out. However, if prescribed workload and financial parameters as prescribed for opening of a Branch Post office are not fulfilled but the posts are required to be filled up for operational reasons, then the appproval of Chief PMG will be required with concurence of Circle IFA. In respect of category of GDS BPM, this power earlier vested with Chief PMG was delegated to the Head of Division for filling up the vacant posts of GDS BPM without reference to HOC by adopting the method firstly by appointment of surplus identified GDS fulfilling the conditions faling which by combination of duties in the same BO provided the combined workload does not exceed five hours failing whichy by recruitment of outsiders by observing the selection process as per DG Posts letter No. 17-103/2007-GDS dated 17 Feb 2011. This dispensation was given only for the vacant posts of GDS BPM in Branch Post Offices irrespective of number borne on extablishment. It was made clear in the letter dated 17 Feb 2011 that approval of the Head of the Circle shall continue to be obtained for filling up other categories of Gramin Dak Sevaks which are not justified by workload/financial parameters in case such posts are required to be filled up or operational reasons. For the category of GDS Stamp Vendor, the existing vacncies of GDS Stamp Vendor including the posts likely to fall vacant on account of discharge, absorption or death, etc, are not allowed to be filled up if not justified statistically i.e. if the prescribed norm of Rs. 1000 sale per hour is not fulfilled as ordered vide DG Posts letter No. 6-24/2010-PE II dated 21 Jul 2010.

(b) The guidelines at (a) above apply to all approved categories of GDS notified in Rule 3(d) of GDS (Counduct and Engagement) Rules, 2011 i.e. GDS Branch Postmaster, GDS Mail Deliverer, GDS Mail carrier, GDS Mail Packer and GDS Stamp Vendor. No other category, which is not included in Rule 3(d) is allowed to be filled up.

2. Elaborate instructions for making substitute arrangements were issued under letter No. 17-115/2001-GDS dated 21 Oct 2002. Such instructions in nutshell are reiterated as under:-

(a) In Short term arrangements, as far as possible, work is to be managed by

combining duties, Substitutes will not be provided in leave arrangements. In single handed BOs, the work will be managed by giving combined duty to GDS MD/GDSMC of neighboring BO in whose beat BO falls.

(b) In long term arrangement, combination of duites as per above, may be resorted to. Substitutes will be allowed only if workload of the BO as well as financial position justifies such arrangement or filling up of posts on regular basis.

(c) In town and cities where departmental officials are also available in same office, the possiblity of managing the work by regular staff by combination of duties or by grant of OTA beyond normal working hours may be explored.

(d) No substitute is to be alowed to take over charge unless the competent leave sanctioning authority/appinting authority is fully satisfied that the subsitiute possesses the prescribed qualification for that appointment and has been privided under the risk and responsiblilty of the regulr incumbent.

(e) Continuation of subsitutes beyond 180 days at a stretch may be allowed only by the next higher authority to the appoining authority and only in exceptional cases where action has been initiated for regular appointment if justified by workload and financial norms.

(f) No substitute arrangement shall continue beyond one year. If it is to be continued on unavoidable reasons, specific approval of HOC will be necessary for reasons to be recorded by the concerned authority in writing.

(ii) It may again be made clear that combination of duties is permisible only in cases where the combined workload does not go beyond five hours.

3. Elaborate instructions for making provisional arrangements were issued under letter No. 17-115/2011-GDS dated 21 Oct 2002. Such instructions in nutshell are reiterated as under:-

(a) In case of provisional arrangements, such appointments should be resorted to in case where the GDS is unable, quite unexpectedly, to undertake his duties due to his own actions (unauthorized absence, fraud, misappropraiation, etc.), due to circumstances beyound his control like sudden illness/accident/death or because the Department does not want him/her to continue (due to reasons of misconduct/dismissal/removal/put off duty, etc). In other cases, action should be taken well in advance to fill up the post on regular basis. Even where the post falls vacant unexpectedly, efforts should be made to manage the work by combining the duties keeping in view the limitation outlined in Para 2(ii) above..

(b) Where provisional arrangement becomes unavoidable, action may be initiated to fill up the post following all the formalities prescribed for regular appointment but clearly stipulating that the appointment is on provisional basis.

(c) In case of death, there is no objection to a dependant being allowed to function on interim basis provided he/she fulfills the qualification required for such post. Again, this may be resorted to if arrangement by combination of duties is not feasible. Such interim arrangement should not exceed one year.

(d) Approaval of next higher authority is to be obtained in all cases where provisional arrangement exceeds 180 days. Where the period exceeds one year, the approval of Head of Circle would be necessary.

4. It was also clarified vide DG Posts letter No. 41-437/87-PE II dated 16 Dec 1987 and 06 Jul 1988 that wherever combination of functions is resorted to, the designation of the person may be ED Branch Postmaster (now called GDS Branch Postmaster), if he performs any other function in addition to his work as Branch Postmaster and, in all the other cases, the designation may be of the function which is the most predominant i.e. where delivery agency and main conveyance constitute the combind functions of an individual, he can be designated as Delivery Agent or Mail Carrier depending on the longer time devoted on the particular duty. In such cases, the pre-dominant function & designation given resultant thereto determines the admissible TRCA plus allowances.

5. Wherever the combination of fucntion is resorted to, the resultant another post, the functions of which are so combined, may be relocated to another office by way of redeployment & in case of non-relocation, the same needs to be abolished/kept held in abeyance. In case of future needs when the combined workload exceed 5 hours, the action would involve creation of post by adopting the prescribed process or by redeployment of surplus posts or by reviving the post ordered to be held in abeyance. Similarly, the posts, which are declared not to be filled up, need to be ordered to be abolished on being fallen vacant, viz., GDS SV (only not justified statistically) and GDS Mailmen, etc.

6. As and when information is called for, it has been observed that incorrect information about the vacant posts of GDS is furnished. In case of observance of the process as outlined above, the sanctioned number of GDS posts minus actual strenght at any given point of time would reflect the actual number of GDS posts minus actual strenght at any given point of time would reflect the actual number of GDS posts vancat for the purpose of initiating action for engagement on such posts. Where the instructions issued do not put a bar on filling up a particular category of post & the prescribed parameters are also fulfilled; action needs to be initiated promptly/well in time to fill up such posts adopting the prescribed process. In other cases where the presecribed parameters are not fulfilled, the Divisional Head is only a uthorized to decide about filling up the only posts of GDS BPM. In other cases, the process of obtaining appoval of HOC may be initiated promptly; if, however, any of such posts is considered to be filled up for operational reasons, the Divisional Head shall send the proposal at least in a month's time from the date of vacancy and in advance (particularly in the cases of discharge, absorption to regular departmental posts). The Divisional Head should monitor its process with due diligence. The CO/RO shall also closely monitor their MIS.

7. The above position may brought to the notice of all concerned for information and strict adherence.

Will India’s snail mail begin brisk walking with post office reforms and liberalisation?

2012-01-04T22:22:00.000+05:30

Will India’s snail mail begin brisk walking with post office reforms and liberalisation?

The government’s plan to tap into India’s vast postal system to reach out to the unbanked population by utilising offices across the country as banks is expected to take some shape this year as the proposal has been sent to the Finance Ministry for its nod.
The idea that 1.55 lakh Post Offices could double up as banks is aimed at aiding the government’s goal of financial inclusion, especially in rural areas. Once implemented, coverage of the country’s banking network will increase three-fold in one stroke.
Around 90 percent of the Post Office branches are in rural areas. In contrast, out of approximately 87,000 bank branches in the country, around 24,000 are in rural India.

A general post office in Bangalore. AFP

Although the idea has been around for a while, Communications Minister Kapil Sibal brought it to centrestage in July. However, before it takes shape, the Acts governing the banking and postal sectors will have to go through major amendments.
“Before applying for a banking licence, there are certain procedures that need to be completed. The work is in progress and the proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Finance for its nod to go ahead,” a government official privy to the development told PTI.
The year may witness quite a few amendments to the 113- year-old Post Office Act, which are aimed at opening up the sector.
The proposed amendments in The Indian Post Office Act, 1898, include recognising the services of private courier players and bringing them under the regulatory ambit. This will legalise ‘forbidden services’ like sending personal letters through private courier companies.
However, a lot needs to be done within the Department of Posts before reforms are implemented in the sector, as the industry is demanding that the services wing of the DoP should be a separate entity. This could be done along the lines of BSNL, which was hived-off from the Department of Telecom, industry players have said.
During 2011, Sibal made efforts to kick-off reforms in the sector, starting with India Post.
“After many years, we have seen government is ready to listen to industry. Minister (Sibal) has said that no policy decision will be made without taking views of industry. It’s a highly welcome move, but DoP officials are still not ready to open up,” said an industry representative. .
India Post is the biggest postal network in the world, a major portion of which, about 1.4 lakh post offices, are located in rural India.
Sibal had announced a 100-day agenda for revamping the DoP, especially its services. The agenda was designed around objectives assigned under the 11th Five-Year Plan (2007-12).
The agenda included provisions to facilitate round-the-clock transactions by customers through web portals, call centres, ATMs and other tools to modernise and enhance the operational and service efficiency of the government-run ‘India Post’.
Sibal attempted to create an image of modernisation in India Post by launching an e-post office portal with an e-commerce section. He pushed India Post to build partnerships with private players for utilising its capacity. The effort did show some results.
In June, 2011, India Post partnered with apparel retail chain Fab India to provide its customers with the facility to ship their purchases to destinations they want from the store.
The DoP also partnered with state handloom centres to provide logistics services to craftsmen for both national and international destinations.
Built up over the years, its reach in the hinterland caught the government’s attention as a tool to reach out to the masses under public programmes.
The year for the DoP began with a partnership with the UIDAI to deliver Aadhar numbers. In November, the UIDAI roped in TCIL to support India Post, which could not manage the work load in view of inadequate printing facilities at Kolkata and Delhi. India Post was printing about 1.5 lakh Aadhaar cards a day, whereas the UIDAI enrollment was over 10 lakh residents daily in that month.
The DoP was also seen as good option to disseminate wages to people under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). However, a lack of capacity and lax management posed questions over its service standards.
A parliamentary Standing Committee on the DoP found a huge gap between the wages disseminated by the DoP and the figures recorded by the Department of Rural development. In 2009-10, the gaps in the data submitted by both departments widened to 13 lakh in terms of total MGNREGA worker accounts and over Rs 1,000 crore vis-a-vis the wages distributed.
During 2010-11, the DRD furnished the data one month later than the DoP. Upon examination, it was found there was a deviation of 29 lakh in respect of the number of accounts and about Rs 1,221 crore in respect of the amount disbursed vis-a-vis the DoP’s figures, the Standing Committee said in its report.
Besides these glitches, a fund crunch left the DoP unable to address urgent and important requirements.
During the 11th Five-Year Plan, the DoP was allocated Rs 2,700 crore for technology upgradation of Post Offices. However, the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) restricted this to Rs 2,505.86 crore. The final amount approved two years after commencement of the Plan was Rs 978 crore.
With immense potential and as possibly many hiccups on the way to realising them, 2012 will be the year to watch which way India’s postal system goes.

GDS/CHQ/3/4/2011 Dated: 08.12.2011

New Delhi – 110 001

Sub;- Framing Recruitment Rules in respect of Postal Assistants/sorting Assistant in Department of Posts.

Ref;- Your Office letter No. 37-47/2010-SPB-I dated 18.11.2011.

Madam,

With regard to the Recruitment Rules for Pas/SAs notified vide Gazette Notification No. G.S.R 794 (E) We feel that certain improvements are called for. Our contention is that it is the policy of the Government to recruit the best available talent to ensure best output out of the personnel recruited. Certain restrictions of age and percentage of marks prescribed for the GDS employees are certainly impediments and supper from certain inherent conditions. These are;

1. It is prescribed that GDS employees to quality for taking the examination for appointment as Pas/SAs should be within 30 years of age and have put in at least five years of service as GDS. This virtually denies an opportunity to most of the GDS employees, many of them very capable to quality for recruitment as Pas/SAs. This means that those GDS employees who have been recruited as such at the age of 24 years or below would only quality for taking the examination and in most cases, they would have only one or two chances at the best, You will kindly agree that this is too harsh, The same G.D.S. if is appointed as multi tasking staff or postman would be eligible to take the examination upto any age below 60 years and the same person for direct recruitment is subjected to rigorous conditions of age (of 30 years) and five years of service. These may be improved as suggested below for awaiting services of the best talents;

i) GDS employees up to age of 40 years should be eligible for writing the test along with the departmental LGOs for appointment as PAs/SAs.

ii) The minimum service as GDS required to be put in should be three years instead of 5 years.

iii) The GDS employees with 10+2 qualification and below the age of 30 years with no service restriction should be eligible to write the examination along with outside conditions. Such GDS employees should apply through the Recruiting units.

We, therefore, requested you kindly to consider the suggestions dispassionately and accept the same which will be in the best interest of service.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

Sub;-Revision of norms for opening of Post Offices in rural and urban areas - comments/views of recognized unions on proposal – reg.

Ref;-Director (SR & Legal) letter No. 13-2/2011-SR dated 29-9-2011.

Madam,

Surprisingly a copy of the latter under reference was not endorsed to this union and we had to procure a copy of the same through other sources and hence the delay in sending our views/comments/ Sincere we have a major stake with regard to the norms, we think it proper to supply our views/comments in brief.

2 We note and hereby register our concern about the fact that the Committee seeks to overstep its brief i.e., terms of reference. The terms of reference are "To review all the norms for opening of Post Offices in rural and urban areas". While other things that the Committee is required to take into consideration the potential revenue that the BO's generate and are likely to generate as the sole medium of Communication in many areas. But the Committee, strangely and by passing its brief, proposes in Para 5. d of the minutes to "study relevance of instructions relating to TRCA protection". While the protection of pay has its judicial and fundamental back ground which applies to protection of TRCA, the Committee proposes to disturb a settled issue and go beyond brief the Committee may be asked to work within the four walls of the terms of reference and to refrain from disturbing the hornests.

3 While Para 2 (ii) of planning Divisions letter No 40-36/EFC/2002-plg dated 05-07-2011 provide sufficient guide to the Committee to work on factual position and the position that is likely to emerge CWC would like to offer some slain suggestions.

(a) The Branch Offices, now-a-days, perform a variety of business and quite strongly, in case of several items of business neither time factors have been provided or clear yard sticks assess revenue denied from the services have been fixed. The social requirements served by the B.O.s by translating several schemes have to be compensated through proper calculation of revenue. And where the revenue factor has settled and the working norms have been finalized, any one of them will provide clear yard stick for opening of P.O.s in rural areas, because business and revenue are inter related. PLI, RPLI, old age Pension, MNAREGA payments, acceptance of electric bills and Telephone bills etc are several items for which norms of work and revenue are required to be objectively fixed and calculated.

(b) Yes, the GP villages acquire greater importance and have to be provided with Post Offices. But in order to provide the G.P. villages with P.O.s it is not necessary to re-allocate or disturb the already established P.O which is performing sufficient business and earning revenue, thereby.

Rather, steps for opening of new P.O.s at the G.P. villages if such villages are not having one should be taken in views of the emerging importance of the Gram Panchayats.

(c) The norms for opening of P.O.s in rural areas should be realistic and presumptive to slice the existing facilities provided in the rural areas.

We keep our self combined to the rural areas where we have stakes and hope that our views would be properly taken into consideration.

With high regards,

Yours faithfully,

PROCEDURE FOR OPENING OF BPL A/Cs - DTE. ORDER

2011-12-19T16:56:00.000+05:30

Indefinite strike from 17.01.2012 by postal employees

2011-12-14T14:07:00.001+05:30

No.GDS/CHQ/1/5/2011 Dated 14-12-2011

To,

All Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries,

All CWC Members, A.I.P.E.D.E.U.

Dear Comrades,

We are furnishing hereunder some recent developments concerning the postal employees in general and GDS employees in particular.

Indefinite strike from 17.01.2012 by postal employees

The Joint Council of Action consisting of the NFPE, FNPO and its AIPEDEU took a dispassionate review of the entire developments and came to the conclusion that a direct action has become unavoidable before further damage is done. The JCA, therefore, decided that an indefinite strike has become absolutely necessary to meet the situation squarely. A charter of demands consisting of broad based issues of all sections of postal employees and GDS demands. Grant status as Central Government Civil Servants to Gramin Dak Sevaks employees for all purposes including service matters, pay scale, increment, allowances, pension, promotion, leave, bonus, trade unions rights and other terminal benefits. Scrap the new Recruitment rules for appointment of postmen by 25%outside recruitment which curtails the promotional avenues of GDS and restore the previous Recruitment rules. Enhance the bonus ceiling of GDS to 3500/- at par with regular employees. Withdraw the tightened norms for cash handling, stamp sale, and other norms for assessing the workload of BPMs, stop reduction of TRCA in case of reduction in workload. Modify the orders restricting compassionate appointment of GDS. Scrap the newly notified "GDS Conduct &Engagement Rules" and restore the previous "GDS Conduct and Employment Rules". Fill up all GDS Mailmen Posts in RMS. Providing norms for NREGS and RPLI. Inspite of assurances to reconsider the orders, no favourable orders have been issued so far, hence a CHARTER OF DEMANDS was prepared and a well thought decision was taken to serve notice for indefinite strike to begin on 17.01.2017 at 6.00 AM, if the demands are not met by that time, which alone would be able to thwart the aggressive moves of the administration which are hitting the interests of the employees and the department hard. Strike notice will be served on the Secretary Department of Posts on 15.12.2011. Copies of the strike notice and the charter of demands are enclosed.

Comrades, this is time that serious preparations are made to make the strike a total success. Some guidelines which are only illustrative and not exhaustive are laid down here under. More programmes and activities may be devised locally:

· ORGANISE MASS DEMONSTRATIONS / DHARNAS IN FRONT OF ALL CIRCLE / REGIIONAL / DIVISIONAL OFFICES ON 15.12.2011.

· ALL INDIA LEADERS OF CENTRAL JCA WILL SIT ON HUNGER FAST IN FRONT OF DAK BHAWAN ON 26.12.2011.

PA Recruitment Rules:

PA Direct recruitment for the vacancies up to 2011 December may be scheduled in the month of April 2012 and the revised recruitment Rules will be brought in to effect. Directorate has initiated the process. Our CHQ requested to further impartment as suggested below for awaiting services of the best talents. (A)GDS employees up to age of 40 years should be eligible for writing the test along with the departmental LGOs for appointment as PAs/SAs. (B)The minimum service as GDS required to be put in should be three years instead of 5 years. (C)The GDS employees with 10+2 qualification and below the age of 30years with no service restriction should be eligible to write the examination along with outside conditions. Such GDS employees should apply through the Recruiting units.

Postman Recruitment Rules:

Based on our demands to modify the Postman Recruitment Rules and also to have a discussion about this with staff side, a meeting with DDG (P) was held on 2.12.2011 at Directorate, but no decision was taken, our stand that department should scrap new rules. The Postmen Recruitment Rules have been made to go against the interests of GDS staff as our quota has been curtailed. A very glaring discrimination is that while everyone not only in our department but also in other departments is enjoying three automatic promotions, there is none for the GDS employees. All these are glaring examples of crude discrimination. We shall have to find a way out of this. We are looking forward to your suggestion

Revision of norms for opening of Post Offices in rural and urban areas.

The Department constituted committee for Revision of norms for opening of Post Offices in rural and urban areas. Our chq suggested following same of issues, The Branch Offices, now-a-days, perform a variety of business and quite strongly, in case of several items of business neither time factors have been provided or clear yard sticks assess revenue denied from the services have been fixed. The social requirements served by the B.O.s by translating several schemes have to be compensated through proper calculation of revenue. And where the revenue factor has settled and the working norms have been finalized, any one of them will provide clear yard stick for opening of P.O.s in rural areas, because business and revenue are inter related. PLI, RPLI, old age Pension, MNAREGA payments, acceptance of electric bills and Telephone bills etc are several items for which norms of work and revenue are required to be objectively fixed and calculated. The norms for opening of P.O.s in rural areas should be realistic and presumptive to slice the existing facilities provided in the rural areas.

Casual Labourers:

The Committee constituted to consider about application of revision of wages and also the future of the existing casual labourers/contingents has sought information from various circles. The finalisation of Committee, it is leant, will take more time WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE. FOR GETTING INFORMATION TO ANSWER A PARLIAMENT QUESTION ETC. WILL BE WITHIN NO TIME. BUT DELAY IS COMMON FOR ISSUES OF OPPRESSED AND LOW PAID CLASS. ALL CONCERNED TO THINK AND ACT IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE EXPLOSION!

Remmittance of Quota and Dues:

Appeal

The CHQ calls upon All the CWC Members/Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries and active members to make the indefinite strike from 17.01.2012 a programme of resounding success. It is requested to arrange press conference and other publicity to popularise our demands. A report may also be sent to the CHQ.

We request you kindly to translate this circular letter in local language and circulate among the staff. This fact may be explained to the membership through group meetings and general body meetings.

With salutations and greetings for a happy New Year.

Yours fraternally,

CENTRAL JCA DECIDES TO SERVE STRIKE NOTICE

FOR ALL INDIA INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 17.01.2012

STRIKE NOTICE WILL BE SERVED ON 15.12.2011

*Against Unilateral Move to Implement Mail Network Optimization Project [L1 and L2] in RMS;

*Against Violation of Assurances and Non-implementation of Agreed Demands of 5^th July, 2011 Deferred Strike

- ORGANISE MASS DEMONSTRATIONS / DHARNAS IN FRONT OF ALL CIRCLE / REGIIONAL / DIVISIONAL OFFICES ON 15.12.2011.

- ALL INDIA LEADERS OF CENTRAL JCA WILL SIT ON HUNGER FAST IN FRONT OF DAK BHAWAN ON 26.12.2011.

MAKE THE INDEFINITE STRIKE A GRAND SUCCESS

Dear Comrades,

The meeting of the Central JCA held on 12.12.2011 at New Delhi, have reviewed the post-5^th July deferred strike settlement situation and have to come unanimous conclusion that Postal Board has failed to implement the assurances given by the Secretary [Posts] on agreed demands, even after a lapse of four months. Further it is going ahead with the unilateral implementation of the Mail Network Optimization Project [MNOP] in spite of vehement opposition of the Staff Side.

During the discussion with the Secretary [Posts] on 5^th July deferred strike demands, it was assured that there will be no closure/merger of Post Offices, other than simultaneous relocation. But orders in this regard are yet to be communicated to the Heads of the Circle. Orders on Sorting Postman need further modification. On GDS issues no favourable orders are issued on any of the items till this date. Payment of Pro-rata wages and absorption of Casual labourers and Part Time contingent employees still remains unsettled, even though it was assured that orders on payment of pro-rata wages to pre-1993 appointees will be issued within a month.

JCM Departmental Council meeting is indefinitely delayed. Cadre-restructuring Committee has not yet finalized its final proposals. Issues relating to Postmen, Mail guard and MTs are still in the negotiating stage and no settlement in sight. Demands of the Circle / Regional Offices administrative staff, Postal Accounts, SBCO and Civil Wing employees are not given serious consideration. In short, abnormal delay is taking place in settlement of the genuine demands raised in the Charter of Demands.

On contrary, even when most of the burning issues of the employees are totally neglected or remains unsettled, the Postal Board is going ahead with implementation of the retrograde recommendations of the McKinsey on Mail Network Optimization Project [MNOP]. In the Committee constituted under the Chairmanship of Member [Operations] for reviewing the issues arising out of the implementation of speed post Hubs and proposed L1, L2 in first class mails, the Staff Side representatives have vehemently opposed the implementation of L1, L2 in first class mails as it will adversely the efficiency of the services resulting in abnormal delay thereby leading to erosion of public faith on the postal services. Further it will also result in large-scale dislocation / transfer of employees and will adversely affect their promotional prospects. In spite of our objection and disagreement, the Postal Board has made it clear that they are going ahead with the implementation of the MNOP Project.

In the above circumstances, the Staff Side is left with no alternative,, but to revive the postponed strike decision and resort to the agitational path once again. The Central JCA after in depth analysis of the entire situation, have decided to go on indefinite strike from 3^rd January, 2012. It was also decided to serve the strike notice on 15.12.2011 and to conduct mass demonstrations / dharnas in front of all Chief PMG / PMG Offices and Divisional Offices on that day. As a second phase of the agitation, the Secretary Generals of NFPE and FNPO and the General Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of Federations /All India Unions / Associations of the JCA shall sit on hunger fast in front of Dak Bhawan on 26.12.2011.

The Central JCA calls upon the entirety of the Postal and RMS employees to make all the above agitational programmes in the true spirit and make the indefinite strike from 17 January, 2012 a grand success.

If the Postal Board is not ready to come for a result-oriented and time-bound negotiated settlement, the entire Postal and RMS Service should be paralyzed from 17.01.2012.

It is again a struggle for our survival.

It is a struggle of life and death to lakhs of Postal Workers.

Let the Postal,, RMS, Administrative, Postal Accounts, GDS, SBCO and Civil Wing employees come together to stage another glorious indefinite strike.

Fraternally Yours,

Secretary General Secretary General
