Post Offices are going to play a vital role in development of farmers

The Centre has decided to use 1.75 lakh Common Service Centres (CSC) and post offices in a big way to encourage more non-loanee farmers to take up crop insurance schemes such as Prime Minister Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) in 2017-18 crop year beginning July. At present, it is mandatory for loanee farmers to take the crop insurance policy. CSCs, set up under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, till now were being utilised for booking railway tickets, providing Aadhaar numbers and passport applications. Sources said the Government now wants both loanee and non-loanee to take advantage of PMFBY as well as weather-based crop insurance scheme.

150 post office passport Seva Kendra's are being opened this year

 

"150 post office passport Seva Kendra's are being opened this year and within two years all the 800 head post offices in all the districts would be in place,-Minister of state for External Affairs V K Singh.

BHUBANESWAR:  The Centre has decided to open passport service centres in all the 800 district head post offices across the country in two years' time to increase people's access to the facility, especially in remote areas.

Making the announcement here today, minister of state for External Affairs V K Singh said, "150 post office passport seva kendras are being opened this year and within two years all the 800 head post offices in all the districts would be in place."

"We have decided to ensure that no citizen is made to travel long distances for a passport. People in far-flung areas of the country find it difficult to obtain passports and redress passport-related grievances," Mr Singh said.

The step has been initiated through a joint effort by the ministry of external affairs and the department of posts to deliver passport-related services to the people.

Passport seva kendras have already been launched in several district head post offices in various parts of the country.

"It has been decided to utilise head post offices as front offices for rendering passport services under this novel programme," he said.

The government has decided to scale up the programme following successful operationalisation of two pilot projects taken up initially.

Apart from expanding the passport services and giving a wider reach, procedures for obtaining passports have also been substantially simplified, the minister said.

"In addition, the entire process of getting passports has been made transparent, while middlemen and dalals have been done away with," Mr Singh said.

7th Pay Commission Allowances may be finalised by Cabinet today

7th Pay Commission Allowances may be finalised by Cabinet today

7th Pay Commission Allowances may be finalised by Cabinet today – News Sources indicates that Fiance Minister may table the much awaited Lavasa Allowances Committee report vetted by Empowered Committee of Secretaries

The Union Cabinet will put an end to the wait for revised allowances under the Seventh Pay Commission as a decision is expected to be reached when it convenes tomorrow. After being dropped from the agenda of the last Cabinet meeting, chances are good that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will table the proposals in this regard at the one tomorrow.

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS) had submitted its suggestions to Jaitley on June 1 after considering the review report from Committee on Allowances led by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa. Around 50 lakh central government employees have been waiting for revised allowance rates to be implemented since.

The E-CoS report includes proposals on House Rent Allowance (HRA), Dearness Allowance (DA) along with others, based on the Lavasa Committee recommendations. Arrears against revised allowance rates are also expected to feature in the list of proposals set to be put up before the Cabinet.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Cabinet may decide to not pay arrears for the period of almost a year that allowance rates have been delayed. Saving funds is cited as one of the reasons behind this probable move.

The government has been able to save Rs 2,200 crore per month or Rs 40,000 crore cumulatively since January 1 last year because of the delays in revised allowances distribution. The loan waiver extended by the Maharashtra government to farmers of the state may also be a factor, stated a Times of India report.

On the other hand, Cabinet may also look into demands of higher allowance rates raised by the central government employees to compensate for delays in implementing the said rates. Central government employees want the rates to be retained at 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent for Class X, Y and Z cities, even if they are not hiked. The Committee has capped HRA between 2 per cent and 27 per cent. Several reports suggest that the new allowances will be implemented from July.

The pay commission had recommended abolition of or subsuming of allowances like acting, assisting cashier, cycle, condiment, flying squad, haircutting, rajbhasha, rajdhani, robe, shoe, shorthand, soap, spectacle, uniform, vigilance and washing.

The Lavasa Committee was constituted in June last year after the government implemented the recommendations of the Pay Commission.

The Seventh Pay Commission had recommended abolishing 53 of the 196 allowances, and subsuming 36 other allowances. It also recommended slashing the House Rent Allowance (HRA) — for metros, commission recommended bringing down the HRA from 30 per cent to 24 per cent.

The Seventh Pay Commission had recommended the rate of House Rent Allowance (HRA) be kept at 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the Basic Pay for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively.

Government employees protested the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, following which the Narendra Modi-government formed a committee under the Finance Secretary to review the suggestions.

The Committee on Allowances was constituted in July and after an extended deadline was asked to submit its report to the government by February 22, 2017. However, it submitted its review report on April 24.

The report was then taken up by the E-CoS for consideration and consolidation, after passing through Department of Expenditure, so that it can be presented before the Cabinet.

7th CPC Allowances and its Date of Effect - Actual report in the current scenario

7th CPC Allowances and its Date of Effect - Actual report in the current scenario

High Expectation over announcement of 7th CPC Allowances and its Date of Effect

7th CPC Allowances is now become a hottest topic of discussion and most expected matter by Central Staffs. Central Government confirmed officially that the Report of the Allowance Committee is submitted to the Government. Later the Cabinet Secretary told that Allowance Committee Report will be examined by the Expert Committee of Secretaries which was appointed initially to expedite the Recommendations of 7th Pay Commission.

It was said that the Cabinet Secretary Fixed 1st June 2017 for perusal of the report of the Allowances Committee by the Empowered Committee. Whether ECoS has finished its work or not is not known yet.

The Cabinet Committee under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi has met On 7th June 2017. There was lot of expectation on that day that the Cabinet would announce its decision about 7th CPC Allowances. But nothing has been announced so far.

The CG Staff have been frustrated by the Government’s approach towards settling the issue of 7th CPC Allowances. The Government servants are considerably losing monetary benefits they are supposed to get from the implementation of 7th CPC Recommendation. They are expecting the following two things to be decided at the earliest.

The amount of Increase in the Rates and Percentage of Allowances What will be the Date of effect ..?

Delaying the Decision on the above two issues are the main reason for the frustration of Central Government Employees. The Federation are trying their level best to give pressure through agitation program to invite the attention of Central Government to announce the 7th CPC Allowances as soon as possible.

Aadhaar enrollment at Post Offices from July

City residents may visit post offices to enrol themselves for the Aadhaar cards from July.

The postal department is in the process of identifying designated post offices across the State to function as centres for Aadhaar enrollment and updating.

The department has planned to implement the project at head post offices in 12 places — Chennai, Puducherry, Kanniyakumari, Madurai, Tiruchi, Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Vellore and Tirunelveli. These select post offices would enable residents to enroll themselves for Aadhaar cards and update details such as mobile numbers and address.

Officials of the postal department said while residents may be able to enrol for Aadhaar cards only in select head post offices, they may approach any branch post office with a computerised network for updating details in the Aadhaar card.

Postmaster General in charge (Chennai city region) J.T.Venkateswarulu said besides 12 head post offices, 2,515 sub post offices have been identified to provide the facility across the State.

Reaching rural areas

This would be beneficial particularly for residents in rural pockets as post offices have a better reach.

Two staff members would be involved in providing the service in each post office. “We have trained 100 postal personnel who will in turn train other employees across the State. We are procuring equipment for registering biometric identification of residents,” he said.

The project would be implemented at a cost of ₹80 lakh. In Chennai, Anna Road head post office is likely to chosen as designated post office for Aadhaar enrolment, officials said.
