MODIFICATIONS SOUGHT FOR ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 7^TH CPC ON VARIOUS CADRES/ISSUES RELATING TO DEPARTMENT OF POSTS

I.        PAY STRUCTURE

1.      Postal Assistants and Sorting Assistants

Please refer to Chapter VI & VII of our memorandum submitted to 7^th CPC (Copy enclosed). We have explained in detail the job evaluation of PA/SA and has demanded enhancement of existing grade pay of 2400 to 4200 and minimum qualification for direct recruits from class XII to Graduation. Commission has recommended that there is no justification for the upgrade sought (Para II.8.24)

Modification sought for: -   As the department is implementing the IT Modernisation project including Core Banking Solution and Core Insurance Solution, the nature of work of PA/SA cadre has become highly complicated and high-tech. In addition there are other duties performed by PA/SA cadre which we have elaborately explained in Chapter VI and VII of our memorandum. As there is enough justification for upgradation of Grade pay of PA/SA from 2400 to 4200, we demand the Department to take up the case with Government to grant the enhanced pay scale, modifying the recommendations of the Pay Commission.

DOP floated tender for appointing consultants for Post Bank of India

PostBank வருவதற்கு தடை கேட்டோரெல்லாம்  - இன்று  

 நம்மிடம் கைகோர்க்க வரிசையில்.................................

(இதுவரை நம் பலம் நமக்கு தெரிய வில்லையா  ?)

 

Postal dept has also floated tender for appointing consultants for the new venture; likely to finalize one by next month.

As many as 25 commercial banks and institutions including Deutsche Bank,  State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank and IDBI have evinced interest in partnership with India Post for their payments bank venture.

The postal department has also floated tender for appointing consultants for the new venture and likely to finalise the consultant by next month, a senior official from the department of posts told Business Standard.

"We are in the process of appointing a consultant. Subsequently, we will take a decision on the various proposals by banks and institutions which might take few months. We are evaluating the proposals," the official said.

In August this year, RBI approved Payments Bank plans of 11 firms including Paytm, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, Departments of Posts (DoP), Vodafone and others.

The official said such partnerships could be beneficial for end users and could enable offerings of mutual funds, insurances and other related products to the customers.

As per RBI guidelines, the first branch of payments bank has to be set up within 18 months. Payments bank will be able to offer products such as demand deposits and remittances. They will not be allowed to undertake lending activities and will initially be restricted to hold a maximum balance of Rs 1 lakh per customer. However, they will be allowed to issue ATM or debit cards as other prepaid payment instruments, but not credit cards.

Money remittance is a big segment and 55-60 per cent of these happen in the un organised sector while the total market is estimated to be Rs 2 lakh-crore, half of which is in the informal sector.

DoP is in the process of preparing a note for approval by the Public Investment Board (PIB) for an investment of around Rs 300-400 crore for Payments Bank.

After PIB, an approval will be sought from the Cabinet. A wholly-owned subsidiary will be carved out under the DoP for payments bank, which will later become an umbrella firm for a full Bank and professionals will be roped from the private sector to manage the new firm

Under the payments bank, the initial plan is to have 650 main branches where the department has head or bigger post offices. Subsequently, 25,000 'spoke' branches will be set up while the other 130,000 POs will act as business correspondents. The new unit will use the existing infrastructure of the postal department and will pay user charges to the department.

According to an earlier detailed project report by Ernst & Young for DoP, the payments bank will be able to break-even in five years, once operations start. And, DoP will earn revenue of Rs 250 crore in the first year from the new banking entity, expected to go up to Rs 600-700 crore annually in the five years.

சம்மேளனத்துக்கு தேனி கோட்ட செயலாளரின் கோரிக்கைகள்

To

     Shri.G.Theagarajan     Secretary General     FNPO New Delhi

Sir,

        Besides our earlier normal demands we suggest the following demands to rack up and to succeed

1.Extension of tenure: In all nationalized banks where they deal with full and full money transaction there was no tenure in clerical cadre in the beginning.  Now a day they are not transferred up to ten years. Therefore in our department also the tenure for clerical cadre should be raised to 10 years. 

We are the second large departmental establishment in our country and hence if the tenure is extended to 10 years there will be huge savings to the department and the government also.

2.Medical allowance: Now days a family consisting of a spouse and two children is compelled to have a medical treatment at least  5 times in a month. All the time it is not possible to have the treatment from the Govt hospital or AMA. Hence the medical allowance @ rs.2000 per month per one first employee of the family may kindly be demanded. On sanctioning the medical allowance the ROHSC claim for outpatient may be abolished and retained only for inpatient treatment. The expenditure for granting this medical allowance may be met out from the fund to be saved due to extension of tenure

3. Commutation: official retired on 31.12.2015 will get commutation in the old pension. But official retiring on 01.01.2015 will get commutation in the revised pension. But many such pensioner got commutation in the revised pension by approaching the court. Hence our demand is to get commutation in the revised pension.

4. Notional increment: official retiring on 30th June every year will retire without having the benefit of getting increment even after they worked for full year. The state government of tamilnadu has issued orders for fixing the notional increment for calculation of pension those who retire prior to the date of increment. Our union should also fight for the same.

5. NPS recovery: while discussing for grant of HRA the rate of HRA has been reduced keeping the raised pay in mind. But while recovering the amount for NPS the rate of 10% has been retained. Hence the rate of NPS recovery has to be reduced to 5%

6. Increasing of  IT rates: the revised pay will be fixed as per fitment formula (i.e. 2.57 times). Similary the income tax rates also to be raised to 2.57 times (i.e. 250000 to 642500)

7. Special allowance for PO & RMS Accountants is not raised or discussed. The allowance should be three times the present. (i.e. 450x3=1350)

Diviaional secretary, NAPE Group-C

Views of NAPE,Gr C on 7th CPC Submitted to Directorate.

Views of NAPE,Group C on the recommendations of the VII CPC on  Postal Assistant Cadre

The 7^th pay commission have now given its recommendation detailing the modus opearndi  as to how the same was arrived at ., The general dictum claimed to have been adapted are not uniformly applied in all cases and only some isolated cases have been benefitted  that too on extraneous reasons like court observations and parity among  recuritees from  the one and the same examination  regardless of nature of the work and department to which they are appointed .

The job evaluation has been totally treated as an non entity and the evidence tendered by the stake holders are meted with luke- warm response. The observation of V and VI pay commission have been bluntly cited to ignore the up gradation sought for and thereby failed to contemplate the   justification  under lying  the existing  work  pattern and schedules in the changed scenario.

While the past pay commissions relied justifiably on fair comparison among the work of homogenous nature , the 7 th pay commission had decided to ward off such approach on the plea that historical parity is longer a moot point under its consideration for the present. Most of the up gradation sought for under this agenda has been turned down by the 7^th commissions on this reason ( right from pay of Postal Board members to that of Postal asst.) ; Likewise equal pay for equal work is also prime victim of this pay commission ( eg. Artisan in MMS ).

7 வது ஊதிய குழு வரமா சாபமா ?

The Shocking fact of Pay hike recommended by 7th Pay Commission.

       The Pay hike recommended by 7th Pay Commssion has been discribed as Bonanza by Media
      Pay commission said 14.29 % Hike in Pay is recommended, Media said central government employees will get 23.55%  hike in salary including allowances. 
we will find out the real fact about the so called Bonanza..!
      Let us know whether the Media claims are true or not through a simple calculation…!

        The strength of Group C employees in Central Government is 85%. So we must know what the Pay Hike is recommended for them actually.
But Media give more attention to this 15 % because they have been paid more
It doesnt make sense that the Pay hike recommended for remaining 15 % taken into account. Because they are creamy layer of the Government. The Pay Hike for them also will be decided by them. So the take extra care for not giving more to this 85%.
7th CPC recommendation on Pay Hike is mocking rather than encouraging the Central government employees. See the following example
Assume a govt servant has been appointed in GP 1800 on 1st August of 2015 and he has been provided accomadation in Govt Quarters

His Net Pay for the month of January 2016 in Sixth CPC is given below..

Basic Pay Pay = PB Rs.5200 + GP Rs.1800  =  Rs.7000/-
Assuming DA 125% as on 31-1-2016  =  Rs.8750/
( Since he hs availed Quarter) HRA  =  Nil
TA = 600 + DA  =  Rs.1350 Total Gross Pay    =  Rs. 17100

Deductions

NPS 10% of basic Pay  =  700
CGEGIS   =   30
Total deductions   (700+30) = 730 Net Pay = 17100-730   =  16370

His Revised 7th CPC Pay as on 31-1-2016

Minimum Basic Pay  =  Rs. 18000/-

DA   =    Nil
HRA =    Nil
TA  =  Rs. 1350                             Total gross pay  =   Rs.19350

Deductions

NPS = 1800

CGEGIS = 1500                            Total deductions = 3300

                                                                  Net Pay -= 19350-3300 = 16050

Before 7th Pay Commission his Net pay  = Rs.  16370  

After    7th Pay commission his Net Pay  = Rs.  16050

He will be drawing Rs.320 lesser in 7th Pay Commission revised Pay than from his Sixth CPC pay.

Anybody can calculate from the above example that how much percentage of increase this Group ‘C’ Government servants get from this 7th CPC bonanza ?

ஆக மொத்தத்தில் ஒவ்வொரு ஊழியருக்கும் சம்பளம் குறையவே செய்யும். என்னே விந்தை ? எதற்கு இந்த ஊதிய குழு ?
