1BHARTIYA POST AUGUST, 2009

Dear Comrades,

HEARTY WELCOMEAt the outset, I extend hearty welcome to our

beloved President, CHQ office bearers, all Circle

Secretaries, distinguished guests and visitors

attending the Central Working Committee meeting

today at Kurukshetra and fervently seek their unstinted

cooperation as in the past for the successful conduct

of the meeting.

particular to Com. K. K. Saini, Circle Secretary and

Com. Naresh Gupta, General Secretary, Reception

Committee for volunteering to hold the CWC here today

and for the elaborated grand arrangements they made

for the meeting and our stay at this holy place.

Since we are meeting at the crucial time after

the General Elections and in the midst of protracted

delay over settlement of demands and to take position

to mitigate the long pending demands and sectional

issues of our P3 organization, we feel that this meeting

is having of its own importance.

Let us debate, discuss and decide our future

course of action in consensus. I, on behalf of the CHQ

present this report for the consideration of the CWC

meeting.

WORK REPORT PLACED IN THE C.W.C. MEETING HELD ATKURUKSHETRA FROM 14.07.09 TO 15.07.09

who died during this period.

ALL INDIA CONFERENCE & AFTERMATHThe All India Conference has endorsed the decision of

convention organized by the Federation on 29.11.08

at Guntur itself in particular about the proposed

industrial action demanding settlement of sectional

demands from Sixth January 2009.

Meanwhile, the General Secretary, AIPEDE

Union has given notice to the Department for the

indefinite strike from 17.12.2008 on Ten Charter of

demands particularly seeking modification in the

retrograde recommendations of the Natarajamurthy

Committee report.

The NFPE Federal Secretariat met on

09.12.2008 discussed the developments and took the

decision that the movement of GDS Union should not

be isolated despite the fact that it will deteriorate to

the Joint movement as decided by the Guntur

convention and decided to ensure total participation

of our members in the proposed strike of GDS from

18.12.2008.

Based on the resolution, circulars have been

sent to all branches and also a letter was served to

the Department on 09.12.2008 expressing the decision

of the Federal Executive and total participation in the

GDS Strike from 17.12.2008.

The Strike was partial in all states except

Kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh & Tamilnadu.

In other states the participation of department

employees was not even reached 0.5% despite sincere

efforts taken by the Federation & CHQ. This needs

introspection and to be discussed for correcting the

mistakes in the future.

Further based on the approach of the

Department in not taking any decision on GDS

Committee report consulting the staff side and the

positive approach of the senior officer's committee

headed by Sri P. K. Gopinath, Chief PMG, Delhi Circle

and also the letter of the Department, the Federal

Secretariat met on 19.12.08 decided to call off the

Strike and extend solidarity support to the striking GDS

union. The GDS union has also called off the strike on

the next day after meeting the Secretary (P).

INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 20.01.09Subsequently, the National Executive of the

Confederation met on 13.12.08 at New Delhi took a

decision to organize indefinite strike on 20 point charter

of demands from 20.01.09 and to conduct state level

conventions between 06.01.09 to 09.01.09 in which


the national leaders were directed to attend. The

NFPE, has also decided to modify the indefinite strike

programme from 06.01.09 to 20.01.09 in order to have

a broad based mass strength programme demanding

settlement of both the C.G. Employees demands and

Postal demands.

A mass rally of C. G. Employees including

postal comrades was held on 02.01.09 at Jantar

Mantar, New Delhi. About 1000 Comrades participated.

After the rally, Strike Notice was served to the

department by the Federation and its affiliated unions.

According to the Confederation's decision,

conventions were organized in many circles. However,

it could be felt that there was no mood among the

employees after the two days strike in Dec'2008,

participated in support of GDS Strike to go for another

industrial action with in a short span of one month.

Meanwhile, the Department of Posts had

invited the NFPE and its affiliated unions on 13.01.09

and discussed all the charter of demands. The minutes

were supplied. Action Taken Report on old issues was

also furnished. The same was published in the Bhartiya

Post of February 2009 & March 2009.

The Confederation it its executive held on

15.01.09 unanimously resolved to defer the intended

indefinite strike and continue to launch an intensive

campaign at field level on the common demands.

Similarly, the Federal Secretariat held on 15.01.09 has

also decided to defer the proposed indefinite strike

from 20.01.09 and continue to strive hard for clinching

of all those issues and consolidate the gains and

assurances made by the Secretary (P) on 13.01.09.

Resultantly, the proposed indefinite strike from

20.01.09 could not take off.

DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEPARTMENT -

13.01.09The Secretary, Department of Posts has invited

the Secretary General & other General Secretariesfor a meeting on 13.01.2009 to discuss about thecharter of demands submitted on 10.12.2008 for whichstrike notice was served on 02.01.09.

The main Charter of Demands were discussedand the sectional demands could not be discusseddue to want of time. However it was assured that DDGlevel meetings will be held soon and thereafter anothermeeting will be held with Members & Secretary.(However no meetings have so far been held despitethe note of S R Section to the concerned DDGs twiceto hold the meetings early as per the directions of theSecretary.)

The main agreement reached on the demandof prompt conduct of periodical meetings withFederation and affiliated unions and the Departmentalcouncil JCM as per schedule has not been

implemented yet. No meeting has so far been

convened. The Department has not honored its

commitment.

Besides, many issues are still under

consideration stage. No special meeting has been

called for to discuss for Postmaster's Cadre as

assured. No meeting is held to discuss the proposals

on Cadre review with the unions. The Anomaly

committee meeting is yet to be notified. There was no

discussions as assured on 19.12.08 that the Staff Side

will be consulted on GDS committee recommendations

before forwarding the proposal to nodal ministries for

consideration.

In fact, the present Secretary, Department of

Posts has shown utter disregard to the Unions and

taking unilateral decisions even on staff matters which

require consultations. The change of attitude of senior

officers with positive outlook is the need of the hour to

overcome the present crisis in the Department and to

have a smooth and cordial relationship.

ANOMALY COMMITTEEThe Department of Posts has set up a

Departmental Committee comprising of

representatives of official side and staff side to settle

the anomalies arising out of implementation of Sixth

Central Pay Commission's recommendations. In

respect of Staff side, there are five members from

NFPE and two from FNPO. Our General Secretary,

Com. K. V. Sridharan has been elected as leader of

the anomaly Committee and Com. Giriraj Singh,

General Secretary, R3 was nominated as Staff side

Secretary. The following items have been notified for

discussion in the anomaly committee.

(i) TBOP/BCR Postal Asst. - The anomaly prevailing

between Postal & Telecom may be taken in toaccount and the TBOP/LSG should be placed inPay band 2.

(ii) PO & RMS Accountants: - The Special Allowanceshould be taken for pay fixation on promotion.

(xiii)Sorters in DAP - should be placed in PB 1 with

The meeting of the anomaly committee is

expected to be convened shortly.

The specific subjects to be discussed in the

National Anomaly Committee meeting submitted by

the Confederation have been furnished in details in

the June'09 issue of Bhartiya Post.

SECTIONAL ISSUES1. Shortage of Staff - remedial measuresThe Government of India had dropped the ADR Plan

scheme & Screening Committee with effect from

01.04.09 vide its letter No. DOPT OM No. F. No. 218/

2001-PIC dt. 09.04.2009. The Departments of Posts

has cleared the 2008 vacancies to the extent of 2255

after subjecting the vacancies under screening

committee and communicated. The vacancies

pertaining to the years of 2006 & 2007 are also

approved by the nodal Ministries and orders are under

issue. Thus all the pending 1/3rd vacancies for 2006,

2007 & 2008 were cleared. The Department has not

abolished the 2/3rd vacancies since from 2005 with

the hope to revive the same by all out efforts.

Even though the Government has dropped theScreening Committee based on the Sixth CPCrecommendations, it has not implemented the otherpositive recommendation of the Pay Commission toremove the blanket ban on creation of posts prevailingfrom 1983 onwards in central services and vest thepowers for creation of posts based on the staffrequirements to the respective Ministries/Departments.The positive recommendation, as it seems, has beenignored by the Government.

Unless the ban on creation of posts isremoved, it will be very difficult to any department tomanage with the existing posts by redeployment.

Therefore, the Staff Side, National Councilshould place a demand before the Government toimplement the Sixth CPC recommendations andremove the ban on creation of plan and non plan posts.

The problem of shortage of staff is very acutein the Postal Department particularly in the PostalAssistant Cadre. The shortage is felt every where due

to non filling up of any vacancies since 2006.

The temporary solutions like engagement of SDPAs

engaging outsiders to perform Data entry operation

etc were given some relief; but not up to the expected

level. Filling up of ADR vacancies since 2006 will

certainly provide some relief to the toiling Group 'C'

officials.

2. Filling up of Residual vacancies

The Department has informed that in all circles, the

process of filling up of residual vacancies are either

initiated or completed. The CHQ is handicapped due

to non availability of this vital informations of many

circles. In respect of Bihar, the case is being

processed. In respect of Andhra, Rajasthan,

Chattishgarh, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, the posts have

been filled up.

This CWC should review the exact position in

respect of all circles and take appropriate decision.

3. Filling up of LSG, HSG II & HSG I PostsDue to our continued persuasion, the Department, vide

its letter No. 4-16/2002-SPB II dt. 01.05.2009 has

caused order to continue the adhoc promotions for

the period of further one year (i.e) till 19.05.2010 or till

the recruitment rules are finalized and also to fill up

the existing vacancies by promotion on adhoc basis

without prescription of any minimum service in HSG II

for a period of one year.

Similarly, the Department has intimated that

the resultant chain vacancies in HSG II & LSG may

also be filled up by promotion on adhoc basis for a

period not exceeding one year.

This order has facilitated in filling up of all

pending supervisory posts. This CWC should review

the situation prevailing in all the Circles and if there is

any short coming that should be dealt with.The reasons for non finalization of HSG-I

recruitment rules is stated to be as follows:-(i) The DOPT has returned the Recruitment Rules of

HSG I some eighteen months back with theobservation to resubmit the same after theimplementation of sixth CPC recommendationduly incorporating the revised pay structures.

(ii) After the Sixth CPC, the DOPT has now amendedthe service rules as per the revision of Sixth CPCvide its letter No. OM No. AB 14017/61/2008-Estt(RR) dt. 24.03.09 wherein the minimum eligibilityfor promotion from LSG to HSG II was fixed as 5years and from HSG II to HSG I as 6 years.

(iii) The Department has earlier obtained specialpermission to reduce the minimum qualifyingservice from 10 & 8 years to 3 years for LSG &HSG II promotions and the Department hassought further relaxation from 3 years in case ifno of eligible candidates are not available.

(iv) Now the Department is seeking the DOPT to


continue the old provisions of three years

qualifying service for both LSG & HSG II

promotions and the approval of the DOPT is still

awaited.

Due to the above stated reasons, the regular

promotions to HSG I could not be accorded to the

officials and the officiating adhoc arrangement is being

continued.

On approval of the Recruitment Rules, we

should seek the regularization of HSG-I promotion from

the date of adhoc promotions from which the officials

are continuously working in the cadre.

Meanwhile, it is our concern that the due

officiating pay for the HSG I has not been drawn and

paid in some circles. Similarly in the absence of HSG

II officials, if the LSG officials are holding the HSG I

position, they have also not been paid with the HSG II

pay.

Similarly in the case of BCR officials holding

HSG I, they have also been denied the due officiating

pay in HSG-I. Since we got the 1622 HSG I posts by

upgradation only on matching savings by surrending

680 posts, the denial of the officiating pay is against

to the Principles of natural justice. Though there may

not be any provisions for such drawal of officiating pay

for BCR officials holding HSG-I Posts due to arbitrary

treatment of BCR as Financial upgradation and not

promotion, the department should come forward to

relax the conditions since the pay of BCR & HSG-II

are one and the same.

4. APM Accounts/AccountantsEven though the Department has agreed to implement

the LSG Accountant Recruitment Rules 1976 and

relocate the LSG/HSG II posts proportionately to

Accounts Cadres, this issue is being protracted underone pretext or other. We have placed this item as oneof the items in the charter of demands. This CWCmay discuss the item and decide for a seriousprogramme. Similarly, we placed a demand to grantspecial allowance to the TBOP/BCR officials, if theyare working as Accountant in the absence of PostalAssistants with accounts qualifications. The case isunder consideration of the department and orders areexpected.

The issue of taking the special allowance in toaccount for fixation benefits to the PO & RMSAccountants on the TBOP promotion is also protracted.The proposals sent by the Department were earlier turneddown by nodal ministries. The recovery of over paymentdue to fixation of special allowance on TBOP promotionis remaining as democles' sword in many cases.

Even though the department is not processing

to recover the over payment made to postmen due to

wrong fixation after the implementation of the Fifth pay

Commission, the case already initiated in some circles

remains unsettled.

In nut shell, the issues of PO & RMS

Accountants are not met with any justice and this

CWC should decide further course of action.

Since, the Sixth CPC has not considered the

plight of PO & RMS Accountants by granting elevated

pay scale, the CWC may discuss and decide on this

issue and also about why not the PO & RMS

Accountants cadre should be merged with Postal

Accounts and become belong to the Postal Accounts

wing since their duties and responsibilities are more

or less similar to that of officials working in the Postal

Accounts wing.

5. System Administrators

Even though the Sixth CPC has rejected the plea of

separate establishment for Systems Administrators,

due to our continuous and persistent efforts, the

department is proposing to create separate Systems

Administrator cadre this year. The Secretary,

Department of Posts in her D.O letter to all Heads of

Circle dt. 27.01.09 has stated inter alia: -

"The Proposal for a special cadre for System

Administrators is also being thought of. For such a

comprehensive technology implementation plan, we

will need whole time dedicated staff to maintain the

Systems and keep it going."

Recently on 25.05.09, while discussing theissues with Member (D), he assured that after theformat of separate establishment for SystemsAdministrators, the present Systems Administratorswill be considered for the elevated position taking in toaccount of their service and as a token of recognitionof their present services. Further he told that thequestion of new cadre will be considered after receiptof proposals from the Technology Consultants.

It is pertinent to mention that the issues ofSystems Administrators have been focused properlyby our union since from the oral evidence tendered toSixth Pay Commission. The General Secretary &Secretary General who is also our working Presidenthave attended several meetings organised by theSystems Administrators and focused their problemseffectively at all levels. Com. Senthil Kumar & Com.Dinesh, Systems Administrators of Chennai are touringthe nation to motivate the System Administrators tofight for justice under the banner of National Federationof Postal Employees.

Apart form creation of separate establishment,

there are many problems of the Systems

Administrators unaddressed.

1. Issue Uniform duties and responsibilities to

the Systems Administrators.

2. Responsibilities fixed on IPO/ASPOS should


not be transferred on SAs.

3. Providing Computer/Laptops to the Systems

Administrators.

4. Provide installation/upgradation incentives to

Systems Administrators.

5. Provide training allowance/Honorarium to the

Systems Administrators for imparting training at

WCTCs.

6. Provide accidental insurance to the SAs

The issue of grant of uniform Road Mileage

Allowance/Conveyance Allowance is being processed

at the Directorate and we are expecting orders for the

same.

This CWC may discuss the rest of the issues

of the Systems Administrators and may decide future

course of action.

7. Marketing ExecutivesThe issue of creation of the establishment of Marketing

Executive and elevating them to the present status of

LSG has already been demanded through the proposal

for cadre restructuring.

This CWC may discuss the issues of Marketing

Executive and decide the programme accordingly.

ISSUES CONFRONTING OUR CLASSThe following are the important issues

discussed with the department several times but

positive results are not forthcoming.

(1) Dropping of Confirmation Examination - It was

agreed to drop during 2005 as it becomes irrelevant

after the delinking of confirmation.

(2) Revision of FSC - This is being delayed dueto non formation of internal Committee to decide thequantum & release orders.(3) Application of Bench Mark - Even though, itis based on DOPT orders, in the Postal, many officerswho don't know the officials either have simply gradedthe bench mark as Average without knowing theconsequences earlier which effect the promotion asper the revised orders. The provision of review of CR,as we demanded, could not be introduced due to thereview officers do not know the officials directly in ourdepartment or to observe their performance. Themodified appraisal scheme may to some extent solvethe problem. However we demanded in the past cases,the application of bench mark should not be harsh inany circle. After introduction of three ACP, the averagegrading in the CR will affect the officials prosperouspromotions. This CWC should discuss this in detailand evolve a correct demand.(4) Contributory negligence - Even though severalorders and judgments are in existence, in severalcircles, this has been mis-used and officials arepunished under contributory factors. A vigilance check

to arrest the menace at Circle level is also the need of

the hour. This CWC may also discuss the issue in

detail.

(5) Absorption of JAO Qualified officials in DOT -

This is being protracted on one pretext or the other.

After the merger of DOT with DOP in Accounts and

the Ministry has ordered the cadre controlling

authorities, the delay in its implementation due to the

hard stand of Postal Directorate is deplorable. This

has blocked the promotional avenues of more than

800 Pas who passed JAO Exam fifteen years back

working through out the Nation. This CWC should

evolve a decision over this demand.

(6) Inadequate allotment of funds: Com. B. G.

Tamhankar, Ex-President has brought out the

information about the pendency of Personal claims,

Circle wise under the RTI ACT and handed over to

CHQ for further process. Accordingly, we have taken

all out efforts and in the last Heads of Circle

Conference, all Circle Heads were instructed to clear

the pending bills by seeking additional funds. Member

(P), DDG (Establishment) and Director (SR) are

monitoring the position and we have been told that

there is a good improvement in many circles and the

remaining will be attended.

All CWC members are requested to furnish

the position about their circles so that it will facilitate

the CHQ to proceed further.

(7) Filling up of Vacancies: The CHQ has taken

up with the Department to withdraw its instructions

about filling up of posts until further orders due to the

proposed change of recruitment Rules. We are

demanding that the existing recruitment for 2006, 2007

& 2008 vacancies may be processed immediately as

per the old rules in order to avoid delay in filling up of

approved posts under ADR plan. The CHQ is pursuing.

Similarly, we are taking the issue of implementation

of revised syllabus for LGO examination.

PROJECT ARROWAt the outset, we feel that the aim and object

of the Project Arrow is a welcoming one and it shouldbe implemented in letter and spirit. It ensures adequatestaff strength; adequate infrastructure; adequatefacilities and out look. But in practical, with outproviding adequate man power and infrastructure, thedivisional heads are running amuck and unleashingvarious charge sheets just in order to satisfy the Circleheads under the functioning of Project Arrow.

Further crores of rupees have been drainedby demolishing good counters, floors and even buildingtoo which where earlier renovated and beautified underFinance Mart.

The officials have been forced to furnish falsedelivery statistics whether in MOs or Registered letters

and the department itself is indulging in falsification of


statistics and records just to declare the Project Arrow

a most success.

In many places, the deliveries have been

curtailed. The staff are being extracted unbearable work

load and forced to work even beyond working hours

without any remuneration.

This CWC may discuss the position of each

circle and chart out appropriate programme to end the

harassment unleashed under the agies of project

Arrow.

COUNTING OF PAST SERVICES OF RTP

The Department, as seems, is reluctant to

reopen the case which was earlier decided negatively

based on the Supreme Court judgment of 1996 without

giving any credence to various other orders

subsequently delivered in the same Apex Court.

Even though, we have placed this item as one of the

items in the Charter of Demands, this CWC may

discuss and decide about filing a petition in the

Principle CAT, Delhi on this major demand which is

pending over two decades.

PROPOSAL ON POSTMASTER'S CADRE

The Secretary, Department of Posts in her

D.O letter No. Secretary (P) 10/IMP Projects/09 dt.

27.01.09 addressed to all Heads of Circles mentioned

that the proposal for creation of Postmaster's cadres

has been cleared by the Postal Service Board and

changes in the recruitment rules have been made

accordingly and sent to DOPT.

It was quite shocking that there was no

discussions with the Staff Side on this serious issue

and after hearing the news, we record our serious

protests against this unilateral move and demanded

discussion on the subject. Still no formal discussion

has been held on this subject. However, we couldcollect the details of the proposals which are asfollows.i. In the present Supervisory posts viz. LSG, HSG

II, HSG I, 30 percent posts will be identified asPostmaster's cadre posts. At present about 38percent of the supervisory posts are thePostmaster posts in LSG. Among the supervisoryposts, 30% will be earmarked for Postmaster'scadre and 70% posts will remain as supervisoryposts.

ii. The existing LSG officials will be asked toexercise option about their willingness tocontinue in the supervisory posts or to opt forPostmaster's cadre. The option now exercisedis final and cannot be altered.

iii. If more officials opt for Postmasters cadre (above30%), the selection will be made among themand declared them belonging to the newly formed

Postmaster's cadre. In case less volunteers

(below 30%), the unfilled up posts will be filled

up by conducting competitive examination among

Postal Assistant s (like FTP).

iv. Thereafter, whenever any vacancy arises in the

Postmaster's cadre, it will be filled only through

examination as stated above.

v. The remaining 70% supervisory posts will be

managed by seniority cum fitness and no

element of examination will be there. Those

supervisors will have no chance to become the

Postmasters if they do not exercise option at

the initial stage.

vi. Similarly, in HSG II and HSG I, 30% posts of

Postmasters will be earmarked for the

Postmaster's cadre. The Officials opted to

Postmaster's cadre in LSG will be promoted to

these posts by seniority cum selection and thus

the Postmaster's cadre is a separate channel of

promotion.

vii. The remaining 70% in HSG II and HSG I will be

filled with the officials opted for the General line.

viii. A new promotional avenue has been created for

the Postmaster's and Supervisors cadre. There

are about 116 Group B Postmaster's available atpresent. Among them30% posts will beearmarked for Postmaster cadre officials asregular and next hierarchical promotion. They willbe promoted without writing any examination tothese posts.

ix. The remaining 70% Group B Postmaster postswill be filled up by competitive examinationamong both the Postmaster cadre and othersupervisory officials. Any supervisor can write theexam pertaining to the Group B Postmasters.Thus one line of promotion has been extendedto these Postmaster's cadre officials.

x. These Group B Postmasters will be promoted asChief Postmasters in Group 'A' cadre.

It is further learnt that there is no upgradationor change in the Pay Band in respect of LSG, HSG-II& HSG-I and the proposals contain the same gradepay available to the posts as at present. This is highlyridiculous and should not be accepted.

We are of the considered opinion that thePostmaster's cadre proposal should be linked with theproposal of cadre restructuring submitted by our CHQand we can arrive at consensus on this issue.

I fervently request the CWC members to havea thorough discussion on this issue and guide theCHQ further in this regard.

CADRE REVIEW & OUR STAND

We have submitted our proposals for cadre review on


02.08.2008. However no formal meeting has been held

so far. After we are switching over to ACP Scheme,

the only option available before us is to increase the

number of supervisory posts to off-shoot the matching

savings we have already surrendered at the time of

TBOP and BCR schemes. The earlier agreement on

20% LSG should be revived at least. The issues of

Systems Administrators, Marketing Executives, PO

& RMS Accountants etc and elevating their posts to

that of supervisory cadre shall be the rock-bottom in

the discussions on this issue. The proposal of

'Postmaster's Cadre' shall be pursued along with the

cadre review proposals. Unless a better channel for

promotions is not ensured, it will demotivate the cadres

and officials.

This C.W.C. may discuss the issue once again

on the background of the grant of three ACP

Promotions and formulate the exact demand for placing

before the department.

VERIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP

Consequent upon the Hon'ble Madras High

court orders, the department has ordered for a fresh

re-verification of membership and directed to submit

the declaration forms before 15.05.2009. The CHQ has

issued special circulars to branches in order to motivate

them in enrolment of more members. The issue of

Bhartiya Post contained more matters about the glory

of our union & Federation. In anticipation of approval of

the working committee, the General Secretary has

announced that awards will be distributed to two or

three best branches from each circle appreciating their

services in the enrolment of more membership in the

next All India Conference. This CWC may ratify this

decision and further work out the modalities and norms

for deciding the best branches from each circle. We

are receiving reports that many branches have

performed very well in the current verification.

This CWC records its deep appreciations to

all those branches and further fervently request to

improve further in the days to come.

In the mean while, the Hon'ble High Court of Rajasthan

of Jodhpur has granted stay for the finalization of

membership verification process in the S. B. Civil writ

petition No. 50 37/2009 filed by the Circle Secretary,

Group 'C' Bhartiya Union, Rajasthan Circle on the plea

that the verification notification had been served to him

just short of three days to the last date for submission

of membership declaration.

Another writ petition was filed in the Hon'ble

High Court of Patna by the Secretary General, BPEF

demanding to withdraw the provisional recognition

granted to NFPE & FNPO. The Federation, being the

respondent is defending the case in the court.

Since from the introduction of verification ofmembership under RSA Rules 1993, the process hasbeen scuttled by some one who could not attain theminimum percentage as required by the rules.Similarly, the Supervisor Association is enjoying theunintended benefit due to the court stay granted byHon'ble Delhi High Court in which our CHQ has alreadyimpleaded.

There is no certainty about the currentverification also and even in the event of another re-verification, our leaders at the grass root levels shouldbe ready to venture again in order to increase moremembership and galvanize the movement by theirfrequent personal contacts and communications withthe membership and staff.

The CHQ has not received any complaintsabout the denial of membership except from four

divisions in Tamilnadu Circle. This should be reviewed.

BHARTIYA POST

We are sincerely trying our best to improve

the contents of the Bhartiya Post and to enroll more

subscribers. Despite our efforts to allot more pages

for Hindi matters, we could not fulfill our desire due to

non-availability of good translators. However, we are

publishing at least two to three pages regularly in Hindi

in order to penetrate the CHQ messages to the

heartland of India.

Despite our requests, we are still printing only

about 5000 copies every month even though we are

having membership to the extent of 70,000. Among

all circles, West Bengal ranks number one in indenting

more copies of journal around 1000 and also remitting

dues properly. There is a good improvement in A. P.

Circle. In respect of other circles, we seek the

cooperation of all Circle Secretaries to instruct all the

Divisional Secretaries to obtain 15 copies at least and

supply to all office bearers as per the constitutional

provisions of our union.

More than 85% branches are indenting single

copy and this CWC may discuss and cause directions

to branches to indent more copies of Bhartiya Post in

future. Otherwise, the activities of our CHQ and our

union will not reach the rank and file membership who

are the pillars of this organization.

AMENDED CONSTITUTION & TRADE

UNION RULINGS

To mark the occasion of this CWC meeting,

the CHQ is releasing the Book of 'Union Constitution

amended in the last All India conference which also

contains an exhaustive compilation of Trade Union

Rulings. Com. R. Sivannarayana, AGS has assisted

in proof corrections and we did our best to release the

book with more accuracy.

VENTURE

The 2000 copies printed during the Allahabad

CWC were sold out and the CHQ was gained around

Rs.15000/- to 20000/- due to that publication.

After the Sixth CPC, the book requires revision and

many more valuable orders are also to be incorporated.

We may try to update the Venture shortly and release

the Second Edition if the CWC permits.

TARAPADA BHAWAN

Now, many visiting Comrades from various

divisions are staying at Tarapada Bhawan for the

minimum service charge of Rs.5/- per head per day.

We have provided cots, beds, bed sheets and other

required items in the Tarapada Bhawan.

If more comrades visit the Tarapada Bhawan,

we can improve better amenities and also revise the


Service charges which could cater to the maintenance

of the Electricity, Water bills etc.

DADA GHOSH BHAWAN

A portion of Dada Ghosh Bhawan building is

being occupied by us and there itself we are functioning

our CHQ.

The property was purchased in the name of

E3, NFPTE and it was transferred to NFPTE then.

However, it is seen that the property is registered and

remaining only in the name of E3, NFPTE. Even

though, our contribution towards purchase of the

building was around 17% among the total contribution,

we are not having any legal title of the properly.

Com. O.P. Gupta, Ex-Secretary General,

NFPTE offered his willingness on behalf of E3, to

regularize the occupation of our union by clearing the

accepted rent which was fixed as Rs.200/- per month

earlier in the Federal Executive at the time of com. A.

S. Rajan (Due as on 31.12.70was stated as 12362/-

& there after Rs.200/- per month) and by further fixing

rent between the occupants towards Taxes

Maintenance, etc and the rest of the amount will be

divided every year between the ownership.

He further asserted that on clearing the dues,

the E3 will arrange legal transfer of the property to the

extent of contributions we made at the time of purchase.

The CWC may discuss the issue

threadbare and decide the further course of action

in this regard.

STUDY TOUR TO GERMAN POST

The Department has earlier finalized a 17

member's team for a study tour to German post

including Six Staff side representatives from NFPE.

Subsequently, the department reduced the

delegation to nine members and allocating the

representation to NFPE 3; FNPO 3; IPO & IRM-2.

The Department unilaterally without consulting the

Federation and unions has picked up the names of

the General Secretaries of P3, P4 & R3 leaving the

Secretary General, NFPE under the three members

delegated to NFPE. The representation allotted to

unions under NFPE did not ref lect the rat io

maintained in the Departmental committees and

other meetings.

After d iscussions in the Federal

Secretar iat , the General Secretar ies have

boycotted the foreign tour as a token of protest

against th is uni lateral ism. NFPE has also

protested against the decision undermining the 5:2

ratio in staff side representation.

PARTICIPATION IN UNI APRO SEMINAR

On the invitation of Union Net work

International -Asia Pacific Regional organization (UNI-

ARPO), Com. K. V. Sridharan, General Secretary has

attended the Seminar on Posts & logistics at Bangkok

& Ayottaya as the representative of NFPE. The full

details about his participation and his observations

were furnished in the Bhartiya Post, July 2009 issue.

CONCLUSION

Comrades! With sincere devotion and

dedication, we have tried our best to settle the issues

brought to our notice. More than 80% of the individual

issues brought to our notice have been settled or

replied. However, we could not clinch any policy issue

during this period and we could see the total unilaterism

of the Department in taking decision ignoring the

service unions. This CWC should discuss and

introspect with self criticism so that if any mistake

found, it can be averted in the days to come.

Com. Somenath Mukherjee Deputy G. S. has

joined the CHQ on 01.03.09 and remained for two

months. Now Com. R. Sivannarayana, AGS, is under

Foreign Service and working at CHQ.

If there is any appreciation on the performance

of the CHQ, it is for the collective functioning and

wisdom of all the CHQ office bearers. If any

shortcoming is noticed, being the Chief Executive, I

borne the responsibility and correct it accordingly.

Comrades!

Let us work together!

Let us lead the movement for the betterment ofComrades!

Let us glorify the movement with our fulldevotion and dedication!

Let us March to the horizon with newdimension!!

With warm greetings,

Comradely yours,

(K. V. Sridharan)

A. Contours of a Corporate Plan

The Corporate Plan of an organisation consists

of a number of business plans.

A business Plan involves:(i) A detailed plan, setting out objectives of business,

over a stated period 3, 5 or 10 years

(ii) Quantifying multiple objectives

(iii) Outlining the strategies and tactics for achieving the

objectives

(iv) Necessitated by a major change in policy

(v) Furnishing monthly cash flows and production figures

for at least 2 years, with diminishing detail in

subsequent years

(vi) Furnishing anticipated profit and loss account on

quarterly basis for first 2 years

B. Business ObjectivesVision: - A socially committed organization connecting

individuals and businesses.

Goal:1. Post within easy reach of all by year 2013-14.

2. To be a focal point for delivery of all social security

schemes of the State by the year 2011-12.

3. To be a self-sustaining organization by the year 2013-14.

4. To increase financial inclusion of the unbanked

population by at least 10% by the year 2013-14.

Objectives:1. To provide basic postal facilities, i.e., collection and

delivery of mails, within easy reach (1.5 kms) of all people

and businesses. This is to be achieved through opening

of more post offices, relocation of existing post offices,

giving out franchisees to individuals, shops, institutions,

self-help groups, etc. By March 2012, 3000 post offices

and 10,000 franchisee outlets are proposed to be

opened.

2. To : (i) seek out aggressively MOU with State / Central

Governments for delivery of all social security schemes

through post office by the year 2010-11; (ii) Computerize

and network all post offices by the year 2011-12 so that

information regarding delivery of social security schemes

can flow on real time basis.

3. To be a self-sustaining organization by:

(a) Increasing the growth in revenue from the existing

CAGR of 6% per annum to more than 12% per annum,

so as to more than double the revenue from the existing

Rs.5500 crore in the year 2007-08 to Rs.12,000 crores in

the year 2013-14. The increase in total revenue in the

year 2009-10 is targeted to be Rs.890 crores, Rs.1350 in

2010-11, Rs.1350 crores in 2011-12, Rs.1400 in 2012-

13 and Rs.1400 crores in 2013-14. The major

components of the increase in revenue are the following:

i) To increase the growth in traffic of mail volumes

from the existing declining and near stagnating state by

50 crores in the year 2009-10 and thereafter increase of

100 crores in each of the subsequent years 2010-11,

2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14. Thus the total mail volume

in the year 2013-14 would be approximately 1100 crores.

As the focus would be mainly on increasing the mail

volume through bulk mails such as financial statements

pertaining to credit cards, mobile services, insurance,

etc., the average revenue per article can be taken as at

least Rs.3/-. Consequently, the incremental revenue on

account of growth in mail volume would be Rs.150 crores

in the year 2009-10, and Rs.300 crores in each of the

subsequent years 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14.

ii) To increase the growth in traffic of registered

articles from the existing near stagnating state (20 crores)

by 10% so as to increase the traffic by 50% in five years

time. This would mean an incremental traffic of 2 crores in

each of the subsequent years, i.e., 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-

12, 2012-13, 2013-14 so that the total traffic in the year

2013-14 would be 30 crores. Consequently, the increase

in revenue would be Rs.50 crores in each of these years.

iii) To maintain the growth in traffic of Speed Post articles

at the existing 15% to 20% and continue to be a market

leader in express segment. The increase in revenue on

account of Speed Post is targeted to increase from the

existing Rs.455 crores by Rs.100 crores in 2009-10, and

by Rs.150 crores in each of the remaining years 2010-

11, 2011- 12, 2012 13, 2013-14. Consequently, the

revenue on account of Speed Post is projected to be

Rs.1155 crores in 2013-14.

iv) To have a focussed approach on parcel products

including ecommerce and logistics by devising

customized products including the facilities of tracking

the movement of these products. The revenue on account

of parcel products including e-commerce and logistics

is targeted to increase by Rs.100 crores in 2009-10, and

by Rs.200 crores in each of the remaining years 2010-

11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14. Consequently, the

revenue on account of parcel products including e-

commerce is projected to be Rs.940 crores in 2013-14.

v) To have a focussed approach on the global

business comprising of international mails, parcels and

financial remittances so as to generate an incremental

revenue of Rs.10 crores in 2009-10 and Rs.50 crores in

each of the years 2010-11, 2011-12 and Rs.100 crores in

each of the years 2012-13 and 2013-14. Consequently,

the revenue on account of global business is projected

to be Rs.310 crores in 2013-14.

vi) To increase the growth in traffic of financial remittance

from the existing near stagnating trend so as to more

than double the revenue from financial remittance in five

years time. The existing revenue on account of financial

remittances (Money Orders) is targeted to increase from

the existing amount of Rs. 375 crores by Rs.50 crores

in 2009-10 and Rs.100 crores in each of the remainingyears 2010- 11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14.

Consequently, the revenue on account of financial

ANNEXURE -I

DRAFT OUTLINE OF CORPORATE PLAN FOR INDIA POST


remittances including Money Orders is projected to be

Rs.825 crores in 2013-14.

vii) To increase the number of savings accounts of all

types by 1 - 1.5 crores additional accounts in each year

so as to increase the number of accounts from the existing

17.3 crore to 22 crore, i.e., an increase of 30% by 2011-

12. Assuming a modest increase in remuneration per

savings account, the increase in revenue on account of

Savings Bank is targeted at Rs.180 crores in 2009-10

and Rs.200 crores in each of the remaining years 2010-

11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14. Consequently, the

revenue on account of savings accounts is projected to

increase from the existing Rs.2170 crores to Rs.3150

crores in 2013-14.

viii) To increase the revenue on account of CashCertificates from the existing Rs.430 crores by Rs.50crores in each of the subsequent years 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 so as to achieve a targetof Rs.700 crores in 2013-14.ix) To increase the revenue on account of mutual funds byRs.50 crores in 2009-10 and Rs.100 crores in each ofthe remaining years 2010- 11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14.

4. The financial inclusion of the unbanked population

especially in the rural areas will be increased through a

combination of opening of accounts in the post office

savings bank, financing of self-help groups by the post

office, and collaboration with banks, etc. Apart from the

objective of opening 5 crore additional savings accounts

of all types by 2011-12 as mentioned in para 3 (vii) above,

another 5 crore people in the rural areas is proposed to

be targeted by having tie-ups with self-help groups and

other financial institutions including banks.

Apart from setting out the objectives and

quantifying them and specifying strategies, a corporate

plan which is an aggregate of a business plan of each of

the products, also require furnishing of not only monthly

cash flows but also production figures for at least two years

with diminishing details in subsequent years. Moreover, a

corporate plan would also require an anticipated profit and

loss account on quarterly basis for first 2 years. This would

require accurate estimation of costs for each product based

on use of resources. As India Post handles a large number

of products and as yet there is no methodology of allocating

cost to each of the products separately, a business plan

showing a cash flow for each of the product line is,

therefore, presently not possible.

However, for some products such as Speed Post if it

is decided to outsource all the operations then we can have afairly accurate assessment of cost of running this service. Insuch a situation, we can have a business plan for Speed Post.

In order to have a proper corporate plan of theDepartment, it is essential to have a costing methodologywhich can attribute costs separately to each of the

products. One way of doing this is to follow an ActivityBased Costing (ABC). This in turn would requiremaintaining records of man hours consumed for each ofthe activities involved in delivering a product. To start with,it may not be possible to maintain such records on acensus basis. India Post can go in for a stratified random

sampling for this purpose so that the same can facilitateActivity Based Costing of the products. The remainingpart of the fixed cost which could not be possibly attributedto any of the products can be allocated to each of theproduct based on attributable cost method.

For the purpose of a corporate plan, presently at

best we can have revenue generation for major services/

expenditure of the Department year-wise. This can be the

nearest which can go to a cash flow which is an essential

component of a corporate plan (as also a business Plan).

Till such time a methodology is developed for allocating

costs to each of the Products separately, the format in which

the revenue generation/expenditure year wise can be

captured for the Department as a whole is indicated below:

StrategyA different kind of a model is required to bring

the Post within easy reach of all by the year 2013-14.

Large-scale urbanisation, migration of labour force,

increasing emphasis on expansion of education sector

in terms of opening of new colleges and universities,

etc., would lead to a huge demand to provide basic

postal facilities to all these areas. The objective of

providing basic postal facilities within easy reach

(defined as within 1.5 km) cannot be achieved by

opening more post offices. The objective of opening of

post offices would be expensive and would go against

the other objective of financial self-sufficiency.

Accordingly, the strategy would be more on giving out

franchisees to individuals, shops, institutions, etc. This

would reduce the cost of achieving this objective,

besides bringing in additional revenue to the

Department.

India Post also needs to address the issue

relating to definition and cost of its Universal Service

Obligation through legislative enactments. Universal

Service Obligation can be defined as providing universal

access to basic postal facilities in all parts of the

country, including, tribal, hilly and remote areas, at

affordable prices. There can be either an activity

definition of USO or a product definition of USO. The

product definition focuses on the core letter product

that is delivered throughout the country at a uniform

rate, whereas the activity definition focuses on an

activity like delivery that the administration must provide

although it does so at a loss. As under USO, the service

is generally being provided at a loss, it is made good

by profits elsewhere. There is therefore a need to

measure the Cost of Universal Service (COUS) which

is required to be factored into pricing decisions. COUS

can be calculated either by the Net Avoided Cost

method (NAC) or by the Entry Pricing method (EP).

The KPMG in a study titled "Roadmap to

achieve financial self sufficiency" in December 2005

have suggested the following products/services to be

covered by India Post in its USO definition.

Apart from affordability, accessibility to postal

services is another criteria which can be measured

using several parameters like (a) accessibility to a

postal facility (b) accessibility to a collection facility

(c) frequency of delivery (d) frequency of collection.

The KPMG study has suggested the following criteria:

The estimate of USO compensation made by

M/s KPMG was Rs.668 crore for 2004-05. The USO

cost would need to be calculated every year to account

for the annual changes in the cost of manpower and

infrastructure deployed to fulfil USO.

Product/Service Limit for USO

Postcard/Letter Card/Letter/Packets

2 KG

Parcels 20 KG

Blind literature 7 KG

Newspapers 30 KG

Registration NA

Acknowledgement NA

International reply coupons NA

Money Orders Rs.5000

Criterion Value Density of Postal Facility Urban – density of PO could be one

per 3.22 sq. km Rural – one per 5333 persons

Density of Collection facility

A fixed/moveable facility at a designated location open for pre-decided number of hours where unaccounted USO products will be collected by representative of all India Post.

Frequency of Delivery Once every day, six times a week

Frequency of Collection Once every day, sic times a week


The funding of USO could be from: (i)

Government funding--- the government is responsible

for funding any deficit incurred in operation of universal

postal services;(ii) Industry funding-- in this model,

other postal players pay a fee for the operation of

universal postal services by the public postal

operator;(iii) Reserved price area-- a specific area of

service reserved for the universal service provider so

that revenues from reserved area help in financing the

universal postal services. The reserved service area

must be clearly defined on the basis of three elements:

(a) class of service (b) item weight (c) price protection

for reserved services.

These are issues which need to be given a

legal basis by having them incorporated in the Indian

Post Office Act.

To be a self sustaining organisation

(a) DOP at present is having deficits in its financial

accounts owing to high level of operational cost. The

high levels of expenditure outweigh the revenue earned

from various sources. There is a need to achieve

financial self-sufficiency through alternative/new means

of raising revenue and pruning of cost through induction

of technology and skill upgradation of the workforce.

The average growth rate of revenue receipts

and expenditure of India Post from 2002-03 to 2007-

08 has been to the tune of 7.4% and 5.3% respectively.

There are several triggers for revenue growth

in the medium term, as mentioned below:

l Sustained high economic growth to be

accompanied by increase in mail volume traffic.

l Growth of the service sector of more than 10%

with 'trade, hotels, transport and communication'

services growing at 12.1% during 2007-08.

l Growth in revenue from premium products at

more than 30%.

l Huge potential for e-commerce market.

l Growth in money transfer services.

l Insurance penetration in the rural areas.

l Growth in parcel/logistics posts.

l Commercial exploitation of land bank.

l Delivery of social security schemes like

NREGS, Old Age Pension, etc.

On the other hand, India Post would resort to

cost cutting in operations through use of latest

technology, computer networking, skill upgradation and

manpower rationalisation.

There is a downside risk associated with the

anticipated revenue growth, i.e., possible losses of

assured remuneration from SB/CC operation as most

state governments are revenue surplus because of the

12th Finance Commission award and various fiscal

reforms.

Assuming a growth of 12% in revenue receipts

and 6% in expenditure together with increase in

salaries of 6th Pay Commission report on salaries and

pension during 2008-09 as a result of the

implementation of the 6th Pay Commission Report,

the projections for Revenue and Expenditure in the

next five years would be:TABLE - 5

Note: Proposed expenditure in 2010-11 is less than

2009-10 because expenditure in 2009-10 would include

60% arrears of 6th Pay Commission.

To increase revenue, the business strategy

should focus on the following:

1. Ordinary Mail volume

2. Express Market particularly Speed Post

3. Parcels particularly e-commerce


4. Financial remittances

5. More Savings Bank Accounts

6. Insurance Business

Focus on increasing ordinary mail volume/

Express segment:

(i) The high growth in the Indian economy will help in

increasing the mail volume. Two areas which can

provide huge growth in this respect are (a) the bill

segment; and (b) packets; particularly for the B2C and

B2B segments.

(ii) Express products/services like the Speed Post is a

source of huge volume growth as well as a potential source

of revenue. India Post needs to focus on this segment

for achieving its objectives of financial self-sufficiency.

(Rs. In Crore)

To achieve the projected growth it would

require: (a) improving the quality of service by

streamlining operations, and (b) working with

stakeholders to increase the mail flow through the India

Post system.

Quality of Service: The customer should be

considered the most valuable element in the business

plan for individual postal products. Ensuring timely and

quality service to customers is the prerequisite for

retaining the present market share of the India Post

and also for expanding it. For this, certain service

standards have to be fixed and monitoring of delivery

has to be ensured. Networked hand-held digital devices

could be developed to be carried by Postmen/Postal

staff to enable not only delivery of articles and intimation

of their status in real time, but also for booking of articles

and offering other services like accepting deposits,

bill payments, etc. A policy of allotting exclusive pin

codes to bulk mailers could also be followed which

will increase the customer base in addition to cutting

cost for DOP.

India Post has adopted a Citizen's Charter to

serve as a guideline charter for the post offices across

the country to formulise and state India Post's

commitment towards improvement of services with the

customer focus. The delivery norms are as under:

Similarly, the norms for Premimum services would be:

Mail Destination Date of Delivery

Within City/town/district Within 2 days after day of posting

Inter-metro Within 2 days after day of Posting

Within state Within 3 days after day of Posting

Inter-State capital Within 3 days after day of Posting

Inter-State Within 5 days after day of Posting

Type of Service Day of Delivery

Speed Post 1-3 days depending upon distance/destination

Express Post 2-4 days depending upon destination

e-post 1 day between e-post centres

Induction of Technology/Automation: The need for

large scale technology induction and automation is

required not only to cut cost but also to improve the

quality of service. Towards this goal, India Post has

already started setting up the Mail Business Centres

(MBCs) as a key component for mail management.

The MBCs are envisaged as frontline business wings

of India Post offering one stop solution for varied mailing

needs of the customers, undertaking the task of

collection, processing and delivery of bulk mail. The

results are already visible in 2006-07. The unregistered

mail has declined only marginally by 0.5% while the

registered mail has, in fact, gone up by 4.2%. For

faster mail movement and improved quality of service,

Automated Mail Processing Centres (AMPCs) are also

being set up.

Parcels/LogisticsParcel and Logistics Post are expected to be

the major sources of revenue in the coming years.

Major parcel hubs will be provided with automatic

parcel sorting systems, RFID systems, fork lifts, etc.

There is a need to focus on the supply chain

management by providing distribution channels,

inventory management, packaging services,

warehousing, transportation and time-definite

programmes. Special aircrafts for postal mail has also

become operational in the North East and will very

soon be utilised in other parts of the country.

Utilising the e-commerce potential: Once the

networking of post offices is completed, India Post

can start various online services.

Financial ServicesThis includes a comprehensive gamut of

services including postal saving banks, provision of

credit, selling of insurance products, etc. India Post

can also provide such financial services on behalf of


other public/ private service providers leveraging its vast

network. A process re-engineering of POSB operations

is required including counter operations, back office

operations, accounting and audit trail.

India Post can play an effective role in the Government

of India's overall objective of ensuring inclusive growth

in the country by granting credit to self help groups

(SHGs) by utilising its vast network.

Money transfer can be an important

component of the financial service and the scope of

instant Money Order (iMO)/electronic Money Order

(eMO) can be extended by tying up with international

payment gateways. India Post can also retail foreign

exchange to individual resident Indians going abroad.

With increasing monetisation of Indian economy, there

is a huge potential in the money remittance market.

In fact, several agencies have come in the market with

innovative products to facilitate the remittances. Money

remittance market of India Post which is at about

Rs.8000 crores is nothing compared to money

remittance market of China Post which is about

Rs.1,50,000 crores. Further, with increasing penetration

of telecom network through mobile technology, India

Post would need to use the mobile technology for

facilitating financial remittances. The combination of

new products and improvement in the quality with

technology as an enabler can help in doubling the

financial earnings, besides significantly cutting the cost

of operations.

Tech-savvy Workforce: Almost 90% of the

expenditure incurred by DOP is on salaries andpensions. This implies that DOP is heavily dependenton its workforce for delivering results. Hence, it isimperative to impart computer training and other skill

upgradation courses to the workers and officers ofvarious levels so that they can utilise the latesttechnology being inducted by the Department forimproving the quality of its service and for cutting cost.Insurance

Extending Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI)

services particularly to the small and marginal farmerswho constitute more than 80% of the farmingcommunity would also be a great service to the nationapart from bringing additional source of income.Upscaling of rural insurance is a distinct possibilityand can be a major contributor in achieving financial

self-sufficiency of the Department.Retailing

There is a tremendous scope of leveragingthe postal network in respect of retail/counter servicesparticularly in the rural areas. The retailing would alsocover distribution of applications forms for mutual funds/

bonds, etc. However, the post offices must be

adequately equipped with modern technology including

computers specially for operating the NREGS of the

govt of India.

Global Foothold The rapid growth of the Indian

economy and its increasing integration with the

international market is giving rise to new opportunities.

As part of the GATS agreement under the WTO,

various services are required to be opened up by the

member countries for each other's entry. The postal

sector particularly the express services and financial

services would provide a great opportunity to India Post

to penetrate the markets of other countries particularly

in the less developed economies (LDCs). India Post

can also tie up with the postal administrations of other

countries to partner in business ventures by leveraging

the strength of India Post, for example, in opening up

sorting office, retail outlets, logistics and hybrid mail

products, international money transfer, etc.

Estates ManagementInvestment will be required to provide functionally

useful modern space for the post office operations,

improve the general ambience and aesthetics of postal

buildings and provide convenient, modern facilities and

amenities to customers. It is necessary to design

buildings to reflect the brand image of India Post, which

needs to be evolved. DOP has already started the process

for setting up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for

management of Postal Estates for the purpose of optimal

utilisation of postal land.

Customised solutionsThe customers particularly the large corporate

ones prefer innovative products and customised

services. For this, there is a need to develop marketresearch centres, innovation centres, etc., for carryingout academic research and for creation of a knowledgebank; for developing a market intelligence system to

increase brand visibility; become media savvy includingpreparation of a media plan; to attract customers tothe post offices through promotional offers andincentives. Air cargo solutions can also be planned forlarge customers.Policy Issues

India Post may need to restructure itself in away which would enable it to compete and exploit theopportunities in the market. This may necessitatesetting up subsidiaries and joint ventures on priority.Through joint ventures and contracts, India Post canmove aggressively into banking services of all kinds

and may also consider setting up of its own bankingoperation. Bulk of revenue can come from the bankingventures as in case of Brazil. Further, life insurancesales could be a good business venture for India Post.It can target farmers, low income urban residents andmigrant workers. The Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI)

which started in 1995, may be further strengthened, if


need be, by setting up a company.

Survival of an organization in a competitive

environment requires a level playing field. This kind of

level playing field is lacking in case of India Post. It is

having a USO burden which is not being shared by

other private service providers. There may be a case

for setting up a USO fund, as has been done in the

telecommunication sector. In the interest of long term

sustainability of any solution, there could be a need

for an independent agency which would decide on the

cost of USO and the amount to be contributed by

different postal operators towards the USO fund for

financing the USO. All these are issues of vital concern

which may have to be addressed through legislative

enactments.

As a pricing policy, India Post can operate

either on a variable cost and/or on a cost plus principle

both of which would contribute in decreasing its deficits.

However, this would require a change in methodology

of costing based on accurate estimation of costs. ABC

method of costing can be considered which may

require maintaining the relevant data.

Prices also need to be fixed on market

considerations. This would require estimates of

demand functions together with demand elasticities.

Regular market surveys to have a good idea of market

structure and market share of competitors for the

different products and services may be required.

Differential pricing may also be resorted to especially

with lower tariffs for local metros and big urban areas,

as is being offered by the competitors. This is also

because factors like postal density and other variables

such as grouping index (vertical concentration of

houses) reduce the cost of delivery substantially.

Access pricing as an option for offering the last mile

segment to its competitors can also be considered,

as this can bring in substantial additional revenue to

the Department.

There is, therefore, a need for product analysis

based on cash flow. Strategies directed towards

improving the quality of the service, reducing the cost

of operation, and having a proper pricing policy is

required. A comprehensive Corporate Plan besides

addressing the above issues would also require a re-

look at the structure of the organization.

POST OFFICES TO SELL MOVIE TICKETS & FARM INSURANCEINDIAN Post, which has now ventured into new

business areas, will sell wide range of products from

movie tickets in urban areas to agriculture insurance

in the rural markets through its network.

The world's largest postal service is also

considering launching agriculture insurance in parts

of the country through its wide network of 1.50 lakh

post offices.

On Saturday, Indian Post announced the

launch of new service to book air, train and bus tickets

in Gujarat Circle. Earlier, Indian Post rolled out similar

services in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

"Indian Post has revolutionised the way it used

to function before. We are considering offering

agriculture insurance in rural markets through our

network. We are also exploring possibilities to sell movie

tickets through select post offices in urban areas," said

chief postmaster general of Gujarat Circle Karuna Pillai.

Indian Post is in talks with Agricultural

Insurance Company of India (AICI). Earlier, AICI and

Indian Post had launched agriculture insurance

services in parts of Karnataka.

Commenting on Gujarat Circle activities, Ms

Pillai said, "We intend to increase our revenues form

the activities other than traditional postal services to

Rs 150 crore during the current fiscal. During the

last financial year, we garnered close to Rs 125 Crore

from the activities such as selling aloe vera products,

passport form, gold coins among others."

She was talking on the sidelines of launch of

Genie Ease Ticket, bookings for travel though bus,

train and air. Genie Ease Ticket service is already

available in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

It is learnt that the Indian Post is in talks to

offer insurance products in rural markets. Talking

about the future plans for Indian Post's partner for

Genie Ease Ticket, ARMI-Solutions Chairman Usman

Fayaz siad, "Our modest start in South Indian post

offices for ticket bookings have generated

enthusiastic response from the customers. We have

not only increased our presence in number of post

offices but also soon launching similar services in

Andhra Pradesh. We will also offer tailor made services

such as charter buses and package trips in state

like Gujarat where people travel more often with

families and in groups, "Mr Fayaz added that ARM I-

Solutions enjoy relations with the theatres across the

nation through its sister concern UFO Moviez and it

is working on modalities to sell movie tickets through

post office network in near future. UFO Moviez offer

digital cinema services to close to 1,700 theatres.

Division, Bihar Circle

Ref: This Union letter of even no. dt. 17.12.2008

Apropos reference, I am perforced to bring to

your kind notice that the appeal preferred by the abovesaid

official has not yet been disposed in the Muzaffarpur North

region.

The abovesaid official has been awarded with

an inoperative punishment of debarring his promotion

for six months in the month of April 2008 even though he

was due for retirement on 31.09.08. The punishment was

awarded with the intention to prevent the senior official in

getting his due promotion before his retirement.

The appeal is pending over one year. Due to

non posting of regular DPS in the region, many such

appeals are pending years together.

It is therefore requested to cause immediate

action to dispose the appeal at the earliest.

earlier orders on Transport Allowance which was

exclusive, the transport allowance is not being drawn to

the officials working in Ongole division.

The present Transport Allowance is the element

of consuming the CCA and as such the deduction in the

transport allowance during leave or on deputation will

result in denial of the element of earlier CCA.

It is requested to cause necessary clarifications

in this regard to draw the Transport Allowance in full during

the period of leave and deputation.

LETTERS TO DEPARTMENTDepartment of Posts, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi - 110001

lllll Attempt to leave the culprit Agent defraudedLakhs of Money in MIS, RD & SAS Accounts & making

the innocents as scapegoats under contributory

factors - case of Chennai Central Division in Tamilnadu

Circle - request intervention.

It is brought to our notice that one SAS agent Sri.

V. Balsubramanian who is the son of the former APMG,

Circle office, Chennai Sri. Venkataraman attached to

Nungambakkam High Road PO either by forging the

signatures of the depositors or obtaining their signatures

in closure applications has committed frauds to the tune

of lakhs of rupees.

The modus operandi, as stated, that he forged

the signatures of the depositors and acted as messenger

in most of the withdrawals. Eventhough, the divisional

administration has filed a case against him with the CBI,

no serious efforts had so far been taken to book the culprit

and recover the amount from him.

Whereas the present SSPOs, Chennai Central

is attempting to fix responsibilities on almost all PAS

working in SB branch of T. Nagar HO on one pretext or the

other in order to recover the amount under contributory

factors.

There was no violation of rules and there was

no difference in the signature available in the SB 3 with

that of in the withdrawal form and the Agent was acted as

Messenger which is permitted as per the rules. However

all the PAs have been tortured in recent days.

Above all, the SSPOs Chennai Central Division

has ordered to withhold the 60 % pay commission arrears

& Bonus for 2008-09 which was not yet released by the

Department so far from 24 innocent officials vide his letter

dated 22.06.2009 duly stating them as co-offenders of

the said fraud even without issuing a memo or observing

any procedures under disciplinary rules.

This is nothing but excessive and to protect the

interest of the culprit who was the son of the ex-officer of

the department. Instead of pursuing the case vigorously

with the CBI for early prosecution of the guilty and recover

the loss sustained to the department, the SSPOs is

causing unwarranted arbitrary and unethic orders of

withholding the Pay Commission arrears which causes

a serious concern.

It is pertinent to mention that all the 24 officials

identified as co-offenders by the SSPOs are having

unblemished service and they are due for their ACP

promotions. The action will mar their promotion aspects

besides the innocents should not be made as

scapegoats while allowing the culprit scar free.

It is therefore requested to intervene and render

justice to the aggrieved officials by expunging the

impugned orders of with holding payment of Pay

Commission arrears and by expedity the CBI case to


book the culprit at the earliest.

A line in reply about the action taken is highly

solicited.

'D' promotees of West Bengal Circle who have been

relieved for imparting in service training at the

Dharbhanga Postal Training Centre from 01.07.09 have

been returned on the after noon of 01.07.09 stating that

the Directorate has stopped inservice training for the

promotees and only the training for project Arrow will be

imparted.

All the departmental Candidates passed the

LGO exam are forced to return from PTC to their respective

divisions by the PTC and the reason for such arbitrary

return is stated that it is due to the Directorate orders. It

causes a concern. At least they would have been imparted

with in the service training locally in West Bengal Circle

since it affects their seniority, promotions etc in the postal

Assistant cadre.

It is further wish to record our resentment over

the episode that the training for project arrow would have

been imparted without returning the candidates by the

PTC Dharbhanga.

It is requested to enquire the happenings and

cause orders to impart training to the candidates locally

in their circles and provide them the opportunity to join in

the promoted posts.

Letter No.: P/2-20/Saharanpur Dated - 02.07.2009

lllll Verification of membership - case of

Saharanpur division

Despite clear instructions in the Directorate letter

no. 13/4/2007 SR dt. 07.04.2009 that the recovery of

subscription will continue to be made in favour of AIAPS

(GL) on the basis of old authorization even after

31.05.2009, the SSPOs, Saharanpur has obtained fresh

declaration of membership for the said association and

entertained.

In fact, there is no branch or membership existed

for their association till last verification and the SSPOs

has accepted the list submitted by some who have left

the other organisations in the month of Dec'2007 and

formed a branch. The DDO has started recovery of

subscription to the said union from the month of Dec'07

violating the orders on the subject.

This is against to the spirit of verification process.

Since the abovesaid association has not joined the

verification process and simply kept it outside with the

court order to keep its status quo, entertainment of new

membership and formation of new branch is illegal. The

action of the SSPOs Saharanpur is nothing but on undue

favoritism extended to some individuals.

It is therefore requested to cause necessary

instructions not to entertain the declaration forms

submitted by the unions other than those who are

participating in the verification process.

Non grant of notional LSG promotion - case of

Purulia division in West Bengal Circle

It is brought to our notice that despite crystal

clear orders from the Directorate with regard to grant of

notional promotion to LSG vide letter dt. 12.11.02, the

notional promotions to LSG had not been accorded yet

since 1985 in Purulia division. There are more than 11

LSG vacancies are unfilled up due to non exercise of this

process by the Circle office.

In the meantime, the Circle office is proposing

to accord LSG promotions since 2006 on Circle basis

and if the anomaly is not settled in case of Purulia division,

the seniors of the division will be deprived of their due

promotions.

It is therefore requested to cause necessary

It is brought to our notice that the after the shifting

of the PO to the new rented building, the accommodation

is totally insufficient and due to the same, the portion

mentioned for SPM's Quarters has been fully utilized for


the office where the staff strength is above 20.

Further there is one lavatory available in the

stated quarters portion and it is totally being used by the

staff. There are no rooms or required accommodation

available for the SPM's Quarters. The demand of

dequarterisation is yet to be finalised.

It is therefore requested to kindly consider the

Irregular application of Benchmarks in TBOP

promotion - Case of New Delhi South West Division.

It is brought to our notice that the SSPOs, New

Delhi South West Division, while according TBOP

promotion to the officials, has left out two officials from

the list stating that they got three average ACRs out of five

entries.

It is the accepted fact that the TBOP is not a

selection post and is being granted based on completion

of Service as per the agreement reached between the

staff side and the department. Application of bench mark

will not arise in the case of TBOP promotion. This is

arbitrary, unjust and against to the orders on the subject.

accord TBOP promotions to the two left out officials at the

earliest.

been take off. Similarly, it will further delay the recruitment

process if that orders has not been withdrawn.

It is therefore requested to cause instructions to

fill up the vacant posts at the earliest as the per the existing

Respected Sir,

The Postal employees welcome your re-

assuming the Charge of Ministry of Communications

& IT. The Postal Joint Council of Action comprising

the two recognised Federations viz., the National

Federation of Postal Employees and the Federation

of National Postal Organisations has no other option

but to submit this Memorandum after holding a massive

demonstration of Postal Employees since some issues

contained in this Memorandum are burning issues and

require the Honourable Minister's immediate

intervention. We submit this Memorandum for your

kind consideration and favourable action:

1. Immediate implementation of GDSCommittee Recommendations:

The wage recommendations for three lakhs

of Gramin Dak Sewaks [GDS] were submitted by the

Nataraja Murti Committee in October 2008. Another

Committee headed by Shri. Gopinath had gone into

the recommendations and submitted its report in the

month of January 2009. The delay caused in

submission of its report by the GDS Committee and

in processing the recommendations for approval had

resulted in non-implementation before General

Elections. The final proposals of the Department of

Posts submitted to the Finance Ministry unfortunately

did not apparently correct the glaring mistakes found

in the recommendations and report of both the above

Committees, viz., the Prorata comparative wages with

the corresponding Mail Overseer and Postmen pay

scales. The historical parity maintained by various

earlier Committees on this matter has been

unfortunately ignored by all. This will be the greatest

injustice to the GDS. The delay in implementation and

the denial of even the existing prorata wages are causing

total unrest and discontentment amongst the

employees. Moreover we would like to seek your

intervention to ensure total payment of arrears in one

instalment instead of two instalments as like regular

employees because already one year delay has

happened in the case of GDS. Immediate action for

approval by the Cabinet with appropriate improvement

in the proposals to maintain existing prorata comparative

wages is possible only on your kind intervention.

2. Discrimination against the GDS on BonusCeiling:

There was never any difference between the

MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF

COMMUNICATIONS & IT / HONOURABLE MINISTER OF STATE FOR

COMMUNICATIONS & IT ON 3.7.2009 BY THE POSTAL JCA OF NFPE & FNPO

regular employees and the GDS on the matter of bonus

quantum ceiling payable under the Productivity Linked

Bonus formula, in which the work hours of the GDS

are being converted into departmental one. For the

first time, the Department of Posts issued a clarification

that the bonus ceiling announced by the Government

through an amendment to the Bonus Act is not

applicable to the three lakhs of Gramin Dak Sewaks.

There was an indefinite hunger fast against this

discrimination and thereafter this negative order was

superseeded by another order. But again the

Department of Posts issued a clarification and restored

the discrimination it had brought in. Now a section of

GDS are denied the additional bonus they are entitled

and another section of GDS who got the additional

bonus as per the revised orders of the Department of

Posts are facing recovery. This is an unjust action on

the part of the Department of Posts, who have taken

upon themselves the authority to deny the benefit of

Bonus Act of India. We request your kind intervention

to cause to withdraw the negative interpretation by

the Department of Posts to ensure the revised bonusceiling for GDS also.

3. Arbitrary application of 60 Days in PLBby MOF:

The Postal Employees are granted bonus

under the formula of Productivity Linked Bonus as like

Railways and Defense. There is no maximum 'cap'

envisaged in the existing PLB Formula for Postal

Employees. In fact the Postal Employees have received

65 Days of PLB Bonus also for the year 2003-04. After

that the Ministry of Finance had suddenly started

applying an arbitrary cap of 60 Days for the Postal

Employees but continue to allow more than 60 Days

to Railways and other PLB Bonus Employees. This

discriminatory attitude towards Postal Employees is

totally unjustified. The Postal Employees alone are

given this step-motherly treatment by the MOF. We

request your kind intervention to ensure payment of

actual number of days bonus entitled for Postal

Employees under the existing formula until a revised

PLB Formula is finalised by the Government in

consultation with the Staff Side.

4. Filling up of ADR Vacancies of 2005-06 &2006-07:

There are 24000 vacant posts in differnet

cadres in the Department of Posts. The shortage of


Staff is one of the most burning problems that is

causing erosion in the efficiency level of the department

itself. Only around 2300 vacancies pertaining to ADR

vacancies of 2007-08 were ordered to be filled up after

the clearance by the Screening Committee. This is

like feeding the hungry elephant with a single banana!.

The ADR vacancies of 2005-06 & 2006-07 are yet to

be ordered to be filled up. There is no calendar for

Departmental Examinations announced for the current

year even though six months have elapsed! The

vacancies under departmental promotions could not

be held because of this and the staffs are denied their

legitimate chances of promotion also. The practice of

Screening Committee to deny ADR vacancies to be

filled up for posts like Group D etc is harshly affecting

the promotional avenue of Gramin Dak Sewaks also.

We request your kind intervention for ensuring early

release of ADR vacancies for the above years and

holding of Departmental Examination for filing up all

vacancies earmarked for promotional quota.

5. Cadre Review of Postal Employees:

No cadre review had been undertaken for

improving the promotional avenue of postal Group C

and D employees for more than two decades. There

were more cadre reviews for higher officers in the

Department of Posts. After every Pay Commission,

Departments like Railways and Income Tax undertake

the exercise of Cadre Review to improve their

promotional avenues. The proposals submitted by the

Staff Side for a Cadre Review to all Postal Employees

is kept pending for more than six months without any

processing and discussions with us. There is

widespread discontentment amongst the employees.

We request your kind intervention for causing speeding

up of cadre review.

6. Project Arrow Offices:

The 'Project Arrow' Scheme introduced in the

Department of Posts with a view to improve efficiency

of the services and to concentrate on core postal

functions was welcomed by the Staff Side whole

heartedly. But now the Project Arrow is turning out to

be a nightmare for the employees. Unfortunately the

Administration at various levels are resorting to

harassment and terrorising the staff working under

Project Arrow offices. The Rules laid down under

Postal Manuals are being violated by oral orders of

officers in many places to cheat the higher ups and

the Honourable Ministers. Bogus statistics are being

encouraged by violation of Postal Manuals in day to

day working. Postmen are being reduced by conversion

of double beats into single beat system without any

concern for efficiency of delivery. Postmen are placed

under suspension for non-delivery of letters to public

even for genuine reasons. Adequate staffs are not

guaranteed and staffs are forced to work beyond

working hours daily/ The cooperation extended by the

Staff Side in good will is being misused by the

Administration to harass the staff at various levels. A

translarant and humane approach is needed in carrying

out the task of 100% efficency. A clear guideline for

not violating the Postal Manuals is also required.

7. Compulsory pay disbursal through banks:

In violation of the instructions of the Ministry

of Finance that pay disbursement through Banks

should not be compulsory but only optional for the

lower level employees; the Department of Posts has

issued and order recently on 14.05.2009. No discussion

was undertaken with the Staff side also on this matter.

The irony is that when the Department of Posts itself

is the largest Savings Bank operator, the staffs of

Department of Posts are forced to open Bank Accounts

in private or nationalised banks for their own salary

drawal! Being a big network with large number of staff

working in rural and semi-urban areas, the staff will be

put into hardships for searching a distant bank. The

decision of the Department of Posts, which itself is

running the biggest Savings Bank network, is

attempting to barter away nearly 2,40,000 Savings

Accounts to Private or Nationalised Banks by this

order! Nice way of implementing Corporate Plan which

speaks of increasing financial inclusion of the

unbanked populations by at least 10% by the year

2013-14. The present system which is working

smoothly has to be continued and the pay drawal

through banks shall only be optional as per the

guidelines of the MOF. We seek your kind intervention.

8. OTA Entitlement and clearance of OT Bills:

We find it totally perplexing that the

entitlement for working on OT duty has never been

refixed after both the 5th and 6th Pay Commissions.

The entitlement was fixed in the year 1990, Viz., 19

years back in the 4th CPC pay scales. This renders

huge number of employees ineligible for performing

OT duty. Then the administration should have refrained

from ordering OT Duty to those ineligible employees.

Instead they continue to order OT Duty as they could

not manage the shortage. Then the additional work

should have been compensated, which is not being

done. This amounts to extract of additional work without

any compensation. This is unjust labour practice in

the Department of Posts. More over there is huge

accumulation pending OT bills for years and several


LETTER TO CONFEDERATIONLetter No.: P/4-12/Sixth CPC Dated - 25.06.2009

addressed to Com. K. K. N. Kutty, Secretary General,

Confederation of C. G. Employees

Manishinath Bhawan, A-2/95, Rajouri Garden, New

Delhi - 110027

Dear Comrade,

Sub: - Diluting the accepted sixth CPCrecommendations while causing orders - case ofGrant of Constant Attendant Allowance.

A kind attention is invited to the Department of

Per & P. W. OM No. 45/6/2008-P & PW (F) dated

16.04.2009 with regard to grant of Constant Attendant

Allowance to the disabled pensioners.

While accepting the Sixth CPC

recommendations to grant Constant Attendant

Allowance of Rs. 3000/- PM to the 100% disabled

pensioners at par with the existing in defence forces , a

riddle has been provided in the order that the Constant

Attendant Allowance shall not be payable for any period

during which the pensioner is an inmate or an in patient

of a Government institution or hospital.

This virtually denies the benefits and no

pensioner having dsabilties will reside outside home

and separately. The condition of 'inmate' is arbitrary and

nothing but to deny the benefits to the 95% of

pensioners of this category.

It is requested to take up the issue with the

appropriate authorities and see the condition of 'inmate'

is removed from the orders.

agitations have taken place to get these bills cleared.

Full details of pending bills have been submitted to

the knowledge of the Department by the Staff Side.

We seek your kind intervention.

9. Re-fixing of wages of Casual, Part Timecontingent and RRR candidates:

After the implementation of the 6th Pay

Commission recommendations, the daily wages of

Casual labourers, Part time Contingent workers and

also the RRR Candidates who are working in different

leave vacancies of regular staff should have been

enhanced as per the norms. Unfortunately this is not

being done except for Gramin Dak Sewaks. The poor

and downtrodden casual labourers are forced to work

under low wages even though they are guaranteed

with revision of wages as per the existing Government

of India Rulings. We seek your kind intervention for

early remedy.

10. Child Care Leave to Women employees:

The Administration at various levels is denying

child care leave even to the eligible women employees.

The eligibility criteria for availing this leave has been

tightened heavily by the DOPT. Therefore there should

be no difficulty in granting this leave to eligible women

employees. Unfortunately that is not the situation.

Denial of child care leave works against the purpose of

introduction of such a kind of leave by the government.

We seek your kind guideline for fair play in grant of

child care leave to women postal employees.

11. Treatment of Strike Period as leave:

Honourable Minister of Communications & IT

was good enough to order treatment of 14 days strike

period in 2000 as leave. But it still awaits

implementation. Early action is requested.

Sir,

The above 11 Demands have been focussed

as the urgent and burning demands of postal

employees. The Postal Joint Council of Action of NFPE

and FNPO request you to kindly intervene and cause

issue of orders and early settlement of all the above

demands.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

nnnnn Emergency service at CGHS WellnessCenters (Previously known as CGHS dispensaries)

The undersigned is directed to state that

CGHS has been providing emergency medical services

to its beneficiaries by operating afternoon and night

shift emergency units at selected wellness centres,

beyond the normal working hours of the wellness

centers. It has been observed that attendance in the

emergency shifts in the after noon and night shifts

has been very low. Additionally, CGHS is faced with

shortage of manpower for running its wellness centers

during normal shift/working hours.

2. The question as to whether the emergency

medical services should be continued by the CGHS

has been under consideration of the Ministry of Health

& Family Welfare, especially in view of the fact that in

emergency, CGHS beneficiaries can reach any hospital

for treatment. It was felt that there was no apparent

jurisdiction for the continuation of emergency services

in the afternoon and night shifts at the cost of OPD

services during normal working hours. In supersession

of all existing instruction in the matter, It has been

decided to discontinue emergency services in the

afternoon and night shifts at all CGHS wellness centres

with immediate effect in all CGHS covered cities.

3. All Additional Directors/Joint Directors are

requested to utilize the manpower that will become

available as a result of stoppage of emergency services,

in the wellness centres, etc. wherever shortages exist.

4. The emergency services being provided at the

following wellness centres in Delhi will, however,

continue to function until further orders:

(i) North Avenue, New Delhi

(ii) South Avenue, New Delhi

(iii) Telegraph Lane, New Delhi

(iv) Dr. Zakir Hussain Road, New Delhi

suddenly disappeared and whose whereabouts are not

known, within a period of one year from the date of

concerning withdrawal of the mandatory condition of

one year reckoned from the date of filing of FIR with

the police, prescribed in regard to sanction of family

pension to the eligible family members of the

Government employees who are kidnapped by

insurgents/terrorists. The demand of the Staff Side is

based on th premise that this kind of stipulation in the

rules has been causing a great deal of hardship to the

families of such kidnapped employees.

3. The matter has been considered in this

Department in consultation with the Ministry of Finance

(Department of Expenditure)/Ministry of Law. It has

now been decided that family pension to the eligible

family members of the Government employees

kidnapped by insurgents/ terrorists, may be sanctioned

after a period of six months from the date of registration

of FIR with the police. The instructions concerning

grant/ disbursal of retirement of death gratuity, as

The CWC has further authorized the General

Secretary to take appropriate action based on the

findings of the Committee, including disciplinary action,

if necessary.

In the meantime, as an interim measure the

CWC directed the said five divisional Secretaries to

accept the membership application forms from the

complainant officials and accept their subscription and

grant receipts for the same, till a final decision is taken

based on the Committee's report.

The CWC has approved the CHQ to regularize

the title of the property after having discussion with

Com. O. P. Gupta in formulating the upkeep charges

for the building for the future and also duly clearing the

dues.

The CWC has deliberated all the other issues

confronting the Postal and decided to work for a broad

based unity among the unions to mitigate the long

pending demands.

The CHQ records its heartiest thanks to Com.

Naresh Gupta, General Secretary, Reception

committee and his team for the tireless work and

arrangement, they made for the CWC. The hospitality

will ever remain in the minds of the participants. Com.
