NATIONAL FEDERATION OF POASTAL EMPLOYEES1ST FLOOR, North Avenue Post office building, New Delhi- 110001

Ref: PF-02 (b)/19/07 Dated- 28th Sept 2007

To, The Secretary, Department of Post,

Dak Bhawan New Delhi-110001

Sub: Arbitary action in filing SLP againstabsorption of approved wait listed candidatesof Tamilnadu circle- Request to honour theassurance.

A kind reference is invited to the assurance

you have made personally on 19.4.07 during the talks

to settle the issue on absorption of approved

candidates of Tamilnadu circle.

Thereafter, the DDG (P) had a meeting with

the staff side on 21.5.07 and it was assured that since

the Chennai High Court reserved its judgement and

expected to pronounce the same in the first week of

June 2007. The absorption of the approved candidates

will be carried out after the receipt of the judgment

whether it is positive or negative.

Again another meeting was held on 25.5.07

and on behal f of th is Federat ion, Sr i .

K.V.Sridhararn, General Secretary P3 attended.

Sri. D.Theagarajan, Secretary General FNPO also

attended. The DDG (P) has furnished the details

and discussed about absorption of 622 approved

candidates of Tamilnadu circle (PA 216; PM 158;

Group 'D' 248). He informed that he has suggested

to calculate the vacancies from 2000 onwards in

direct recruitment vacancies by applying revised

norms (5% of vacancies before subjected to

screening committee) and thereby all approved

candidates could be absorbed. So far the postmen

& Group D approved candidates, efforts will be

taken to accommodate them in APS and other

Postal administrative areas.

After the pronouncement of the judgement, by

the Hon'ble Chennai High court on 20.6.07 while

N.F.P.E. CONDEMNED THE DEPT. MOVE FOR FILING SLP AGAINST

ABSORPTION OF THE APPROVED RRR CANDIDATES

dismissing the writ petition and confirming the orders

passed by the CAT Chennai to absorb all approved

candidates with in three months, the Principle Chief

PMG Tamilnadu circle has sent a proposal to

Directorate on 24.07.07 to absorb all the approved

wait listed candidates as one time measure.

All the service unions had also appealed the

Secretary to honour his commitment and absorb all

the approved wait listed candidates.

It is rather shocking and dismayed to note that

the Dept of Posts instead of honouring its commitment

extended to service unions has decided to file a SLP

before the Hon'ble Supreme court of India. It is a naked

attack on the Postal families and nothing but kicking

below the belt. We record our strong protest and

resentment.

If the Dept file SLP, the life of the most of the

approved candidates who are regularly working for

more than 10 years will be under question. They have

decided to sit on indefinite hunger fast culminating to

death. We cannot shut our eyes over these

developments and remain as silent spectators even

after violating your own assurances and taking cruel

decision to crush the life of 622 Postal families.

It is therefore requested to withdraw such

action and implement the assurance in order to keep

peace and amity in the Postal Service.

Soliciting your immediate response by causing

orders to absorb all the wait listed candidates.

Yours faithfully,

(R.N. Parasar)

GENERAL SECRETARY'S DESK-II

MEETING AT PLI DIRECTORATE ON 1.10.07

A Special Meeting with Ms. Suneeta Trivedi,

Chief General Manager (PLI) was held at PLI

Directorate on 1.10.07 to sort out the issues pertaining

to Decentralisation of PLI and other connected issues.

Sri Gautam Bhattacharya, Addl General Manager

(PLI), Sri Rajagopalan, Chief Accounts officer & others

present. On behalf of our Union Com. K. V. Sridharan,

General Secretary and Com. Balwinder Singh, Asstt.

Treasurer attended the meeting. The following are the

outcome.

Decentralisation of PLI/RPLI work at Divisional

level

The Directorate has issued orders to grant

honorarium to divisional office staff for processing of

PLI/RPLI proposals vide its letter No. 29-12/2001-LI

dt. 3.7.07. We suggested that the rate of honorarium

should be uniform at all circles and the cap of Rs.

4000/- should be removed. The copy of the Directorate

orders is enclosed.

Posting of PLI Data through HPO TPS.

We pointed out the contents of our letter dt.

15.5.07 about the disadvantage of HPO TPS software

and also the advantage of Meghdoot Millennium

Software in posting of PLI. The CGM informed that a

bridge software is being ready for use to sort out the

Problems in TPS software. It was assured to send a

detailed reply after sorting out this issue.

Grant of honorarium/ incentive to Accounts

Branch staff for preparation of RPLI schedules

We discussed in details about the need &

importance of the schedule works, we are performing

at Accounts branch. The CGM agreed to consider and

grant incentive for the schedule work performing at

Accounts branches in Head Post offices.

Grant on incentive for accounting & processing

RPLI Proposals at Accounts office

After elaborated discussions, it is agreed to

consider to fix incentive for the work performed by the

SPMs of the Accounts office.

Spot Payment of incentive amount due to BPM/

SPMS for Securing RPLI business

We discussed about the proposal of delinking

the payment of incentive from allotment of funds to

BPMs/SPMs for procuring RPLI business.

The present method of verifying the bills at HOS

with schedules which is laborious has been explained

and the need for incentive for such extraordinary work

has been detailed.

After discussion, it was agreed to consider our

suggestion to effect payment of incentive directly from

C.O/R.O based on the ledger entries every month so

that it will reduce the unwarrented paper work being

executed for this work.

Utilising the services of PRI (P)s & SPMs for

procurement of PLI business.

We discussed that all Group C official should

be authorised for procurement of PLI/RPLI business

and the restriction of only two officials per division

should be removed forthwith.

Based on earlier representation & letters, the

Directorate has already caused order vide its No. 28-

05/201-LI dt. 18.5.07 intimating that the total strength

of PAs selected for procurement of PLI/RPLI business

will be decided by the Heads of Circle depending on

the local compulsions.

Cash award for procuring PLI/RPLI Policies

We mentioned that the Postman staff who

procured more business while comparing other D.Os

has not been brought under the Cash Award at Chennai

which will demotivate the staff who work hard for the

business. We stressed that this provision should be

reviewed and modified.

Calculation of Service Tax and Education cess in

respect of PLI/RPLI business.

We made a reference that the Service Tax &

Education cess should be inbuilt in the premium and

explained the practical problems being faced at

BOs/AOs.

The CGM stated that from 1.11.07, it will be in

built and there is no need to collect Service Tax &

Education cess while collecting premium. We record

our thanks for this good decision.

Fixing Time Factor for RPLI work.


The PLI Directorate has sent proposal to fix Time

factor for the RPLI work at BOS which can be equated

with S.B. transactions. The grant of incentive to BPMS

is nothing but similar to the incentive granted to D.O.

(PLI). The need for fixing Time Factors for work

calculation (point) and for taking into account for 'value

return' has been focussed by the PLI Directorate to

the Establishment branch of the Directorate. This is

certainly a good news for the GDS Comrades.

We recorded our thanks to the CGM & AGM,

& other officers for having invited us and offered a

chance to discuss the problems we are facing at grass

root level. We have been assured to include our name

in the mailing list. Some important orders we collected

from the PLI Directorate are appended herewith.

1) Order No.: 29-12/2001-LI dated : 03-07-2007

l Payment of Honorarium to Supervisors and

Staff of Divisional Office for processing of PLI and

RPLI proposals for acceptance.

This is regarding payment of honorarium to the

supervisors (IPOs/ASPOs) and staff of Divisional office

for processing and checking of PLI/RPLI proposals

and related work.

2. The decentralization of work relating to

acceptance of proposal of PLI/RPLI has increased the

work load at Postal Divisional office which may justify

extra manpower. However, due to ban on creation of

new posts, it is not possible at present to provide

additional manpower. In this background Circle Heads

during meeting at Dte of PLI had suggested for

payment of honorarium to the Divisional office staff

and supervisors for the work relating to processing of

PLI/RPLI proposals to cope up with the situation.

3. After examining the issue in detail, it has now

been decided to allow the system of payment of

honorarium to staff (including supervisors) of Divisional

office for processing of PLI/RPLI proposals and for issue

of acceptance letters/PR books.

4. The usual conditions prescribed including the

ceiling of Rs. 4,000/- per annum per official should be

adhered to while sanctioning the payment of

honorarium.

5. It should also be ensured that under no

circumstances the process relating to acceptance of

proposal shall be delayed at Divisional level. In the

bigger Divisions, where the proposals are processed

in large number, Divisional Heads may form exclusive

cells to process PLI/RPLI cases and honorarium may

be paid for work in excess of the minimum threshold.

6. Rates of honorarium may be finalized by the

Circles in consultation with their Circle internal financial

advisors. Honorarium paid may be booked under 3201-

03-101-08-01 salary' for PLI and '3201-30-101-09-01

salary' for RPLI for which Circles will provide the funds

to their Divisions after getting the same allotted at RE

stage.

7. This has been issued with the concurrence of

Internal Financial Advisor of this Directorate.

2) Order No.:28-05/2000-LI dated : 13-09-2006

l Authorization of Ex D.O.(PLI), PRI (P) and

selected Postal Assistants (who are well versed

with PLI & RPLI schemes/jobs) for procurement

of PLI/RPLI business

As per road map fixed for PLI and RPLI, we

have to increase the premium income both in PLI and

RPLI by 23.5% and 50% respectively each year. The

circles are facing difficulties in achieving the targets

due to less deployment of our field staff. In view of

this, there have been continuous demands from the

circles to increase the Field staff by authorizing the

Ex D.O.(PLI), PRI (P) and selected Postal Assistants

for procurement of PLI/RPLI business. This proposal

has been under consideration of this Directorate and

it has now been decided to authorize Ex D.O (PLI),

PRI (P) and selected Postal Assistants for

procurement of PLI/RPLI business on the following

conditions:

(i) They will procure business during off duty hours

and on Sundays/Holidays.

(ii) Incentive at the rate applicable to D.Os (PLI) will

be paid for whole business without deducting

incentive free business.

(iii) No TA/DA shall be paid for canvassing PLI/RPLI

business.

(iv) No excuse shall be acceptable for neglecting their

normal official work. If any official is found

neglecting his/her regular duties, he/she will be

debarred from procuring PLI/RPLI business.

(v) They will require to equip themselves with


necessary forms for use of clientele and policy

holders.

(vi) They should understand underwriting techniques

and they will be held responsible for procuring

bad lives and loss to the Department will be

recovered from them if they procure bad, risky or

uninsurable lives.

(vii) The Ex D.Os (PLI), PRIs(P) and Postal

Assistants so deployed will be required to

contact the proponents personally to verify date

of birth, family history, health of the proponent

and source of income and will held responsible

for dereliction of this duty.

(viii) The Postal Assistants so deployed shall be

selected by the Head of Circle and the total

strength shall not be more than the number of

Postal Divisions in the circle i.e. only one Postal

Assistant per Division shall be deployed.

2. These orders shall take immediate effect.

3) Order No.: 25-4/2003-LI dated : 06-03-2007

l Conditions for Extension of Tenure of DO

(PLI)

I am directed to refer this Directorate letter of

even No dated 22-07-2004 on the subject and further

to convey the decision of Competent Authority that a

DO(PLI) procuring effective business to the tune of

Rs. 25 crores or more shall now be eligible for

automatic extension of tenure for the next one year.

Such extension will be granted by Head of the Circles

subject to good work, conduct and satisfactory record

of service in the year.

2. Where the Head of the Circle does not approve

such extension on any ground whatsoever, the case

will be referred to this Directorate for concurrence of

CGM(PLI) before such rejection.

3. The limit of business procurement upto 12 years

of tenure shall remain unchanged.

4) D.O. No.: 28-05/2000-LI dated : 08-05-2007

l Traditionally promotion of PLI has been carried

out mostly by the Development Officers of the

Department who are engaged normally for a tenure of

5 years from amongst the Postal Assistants(PAs) and

PACOs. This way, the number of DOs for PLI in the

country as a whole comes to 195 which is almost

insignificant as compared to 20,000 DOs and some

15 lakhs Agents of LIC.

2. We have about 450 Field Officers for promotion

of PLI who are mostly retired Postal Employees. This

number is also found to be absolutely inadequate. As

a result, even after 120 years, PLI has not been able

to bring in its fold more than 10% of its potential

customer base.

3. When Rural PLI Scheme was launched,

GDSBPMs were authorised to procure business on

incentive basis and a part of incentive went to the

concerned Sub-Divisional Inspectors/ASPs.

Subsequently in the year 2003, Circles were asked to

engage Direct Agents for procurement of PLI&RPLI

business but because of inadequate incentive

structure, restrictions in the number of Agents to be

appointed and because of lack of training, this scheme

did not succeed. We are now working hard to revive

the Scheme.

4. Certain steps were taken by this Directorate in

recent years to develop the sales force of PLI/RPLI

which are summarized below:

(a) Inspectors & ASPOs working in the Postal

Divisional Offices and in Sub-Divisions were

authorised to procure PLI/RPLI business outside

their duty hours and on Sundays/Holidays via this

Office letter of even number dated 06-08-2003.

Incentive at the rate applicable to DOs was to be

paid to them for whole amount of the business

that they procured (without deducting incentive

free business).

(b) Subsequently Inspectors/ASPOs working in RMS

Divisions and those working in Class-I GPO were

also authorised to procure PLI/RPLI business vide

this Directorate Memo of even number dated 30-

01-2004, on the same conditions as prescribed

for the Inspectors/ASPOs of Postal Divisions.

(c) Departmental Postman were authorised to procure

PLI business under certain conditions vide this

Office Memo No. 5-1/94-LI(Pt) dated 20-10-2004.

Incentive structure as applicable for Inspectors/

ASPs were also applicable for them.

(d) Retired GDSBPM were authorised to work as Field

Officers for procurement of PLI/RPLIbusiness

under certain conditions vide this Directorate


Memo of even number dated 27-02-2006. They

were made eligible to get incentive at the rate as

admissible to other Field Officers appointed from

amongsts the retired employees.

(e) Mail Overseers were authorised to procure RPLI

business vide this Office Memo of even number

dated 29-06-2006 under certain conditions.

(f) Ex-DOs, Public Relation Inspectors and one

Postal Assistants on an average of one (1) from

each Postal Division was authorised to procure

PLI/RPLI business outside their duty hours and

on Sundays/Holidays vide this Office Memo of

even number dated 13-09-2006. Incentive structure

for the Inspectors/ASPs was applicable for them

also.

5. It has been observed that many Circles had

implemented above orders in a half-hearted fashion. A

time has come when we are required to reorient the

role of the Development Officers. Besides procuring

their own business, Development Officers are required

to act as facilitator for the sales force in their

jurisdiction. Service of the Development Officers may

be used to train and coordinate the Sales force to be

developed from amongst the Departmental employees

as discussed in Para 4. Development Officers can also

monitor their performances and bring it to the notice

of concerned Divisional Head and the Regional

Director. They can also work as facilitator in providing

better after-sales service through the network of

departmental officials authorised to procure business.

It should be remembered that intake in Government

Departments and Public Sector Undertakings has

declined very substantially in recent years. This is

having its restrictive effect on the new customer base

of PLI. Unless we intensify our sales efforts through

authorised Departmental employees, PLI will be loosing

its market share further and for that we need to involve

Divisions and Regions also.

6. In order to assess the exact impact of the

orders issued by this Directorate, I shall request you

to let us know the amount of business that was

procured by various categories of departmental staff

in the Financial Year 2006-07. I shall request you to

fill up the Table given in the Annexure and send it of

us by May 18, 2007 along with your views on the

issue.

5) Order No.: 28-05/2000-LI dated : 18-05-2007

l Authorization of Ex D.Os (PLI), PRI (P) and

selected Postal Assistants (who are well versed

with PLI and RPLI schemes/jobs) for procurement

of PLI/RPLI business.

In partial modification of Para(viii) of this office

order of even number dated 13-09-2006, I am directed

to convey that the total strength of the Postal

Assistants Selected by the Head of Circles for

procurement of PLI/RPLI business will be decided by

the Head of Circles only, depending on the local

compulsion.

6) Order No.: 28-05/2000-LI dated : 30-05-2007

l Undertaking of Agency work for LICI to be

a disqualification for seeking appointment as ED

Agent in the Department of Posts - Regarding.

It has been brought to the notice of this

Directorate that in certain Circles the ED Agents (now

Gramin Dak Sewaks) are working as LICI Agents and

they are neglecting RPLI propagation which affects

the business procurement adversely.

2. In this context, I have been directed to draw

your attention to the Postal Directorate order No. 17-

96/95-ED & TRG dated 20-11-1995 (copy enclosed

for ready reference) on the Department of Posts. The

Directorate has also clarified that unless otherwise

specifically provided, persons appointed as ED

Agents on or after the date of issue of these

instructions will not to be permitted to act as agents

for the LICI.

Sub: Long pending and burning problems -

Request to arrange an interview for discussion

and expeditious settlement.

It is constrained to bring to your kind notice

that despite our persistent requests to mitigate the

enclosed issues confronting the Postal Group 'C'

for months together, there is no improvement and

things are moving in snai ls pace only. The

assurances given during the talks we had on 19.4.07

have not been implemented but protracted under one

pretext or the other. We are very much fed up with

the delay which is causing serious resentment

amidst the employees.

We shall be obliged if you will arrange a meeting

for discussions on the issues enclosed herewith and

arrange immediate and expeditious settlement of the

problems mentioned therein at the earliest.

Shall I seek your response Madam,

With kind regards,

1. Filling up the Posts of LSG, HSG II & HSG I Posts

Despite the orders of the Directorate dt.

20.11.06 prescribing the checklist for LSG, HSG II &

HSG I Promotions and subsequent orders, the issue

has not been totally implemented in many circles.

I. In many circles, the LSG Promotion on notional

basis was not accorded and has given with prospective

effect only resulting in denial of HSG II & HSG I

Promotions. In M.P. circle & A.P. Circle, the LSG

Promotions are not accorded so far.

II. In respect of Orissa circle, the notional

promotion was granted only from 1993 instead of from

1984. The Dept. assured to depute the Director SPN

Sri V.C. kajla to verify the process in May'07 itself

but yet the problem remains as it was. The Orissa

circle administration mentioned that there were 258

number of surplus LSG official as on 1.1.84 and

adjusted them up to the vacancies of 1991 which is

not at all possible and prior to 1984, the LSG was

accorded based on the vacancies. Then there was

no chance of surplus LSG.

Despite the assurances to sort out the mistake and

grant notional promotion to the seniors, this is not

being exercised so far resulting deprival of their dues

to the senior officials.

III. The orders of the Directorate dated 22.5.07 to

verify the exercise of notional promotions and correct

the same in case of any mistakes in order to ensure

due promotions to the senior officials has not been

carried out in any circle. There was no check

prescribed for this purpose. The seniority list of LSG

officials after correcting the date of notional promotion

to LSG official has not been circulated in many circles

for making reprasentation by the affected officials.

IV. The 1/3 rd LSG vacancies earmarked for general

category from 4-1-02 to 18-05-06 and unfilled vacancies

of 2/3rd earmarked for FTP examination should also

be filled up on notional basis.As the date of notional

promotion has not been corrected in many circles,

there is a dearth of eligible LSG officials for HSG II

promotion as per the recruitment rules resulting non-

filling up of such HSG II Posts.

V. Similarly, the assurances to relax the minimum

qualifying service for HSG II promotion in order to fill

up the HSG II posts in the absence of eligible LSG

official has not been implemented. There are several

HSG II Posts existing vacant.

VI. The DO P&T had agreed as a special case to

fill up the HSG I vacancies among HSG II officials as

one time measure for a period of one year on adhoc

basis with out prescription of any minimum service in

HSG II. According to the DO P&T instructions, the

revised recruitment rules for HSG I should be notified

before the end of Oct'07. Otherwise, there will be

problem once again in filling up the posts of HSG I.

This may please be expedited.

VII. According to the DO P&T guidelines & also

the Directorate orders the Bench mark for LSG

Promotion was introduced only in 2002 vide

notification No GSR 88 (E) communicated in letter

No. 137-10-96-SPB II dt. 19.2.02. Where as in many

circles, the benchmark of the current period had been

applied for notional promotions for the vacancies from

1984 onwards resulting denial of due LSG Promotion

for the vacancies of earlier periods. Moreover the

Directorate instructions contained in letter No 137.04/

2006 SPB II (pt) dt 16.5.07, (i.e.) "the DPC should

be realistic and objective in their assessment in order

to avoid unnecessary staff grievances and depriving

dues of the staff for Promotion"- has not been

practiced in any circle.

VIII. In many circles like Tamilnadu, ordered LSG

LETTER DT. 26-09-07 TO MS. RADHIKA DORAISAMY MEMBER (P)SEEKING INTERVIEW FOR DISCUSSION ON PENDING PROBLEMS


promotion on regular basis against the vacancies and

intimated that the promotions of the officials will take

effect from the date on which the officials actually join

the post of LSG. Some officials have been posted in

the same office or nearby who could immediately

assume charge on receipt of orders. Whereas others

are awaiting for relief to hand over charge before joining

the new Posts. This will result in postponement of

HSG II promotion for the later and also loose his

seniority in LSG. Hence, the condition that promotion

will take effect form the date on which they actually

join the post of LSG should be removed. The date of

promotion should take effect form the date of order of

promotion issued by the circle office.

IX. The following anomaly has been arisen due to

notional promotion now accorded since 2006.

i) Since the LSG notional promotion was granted

on notional basis, in some divisions due to more

number of LSG Posts in existence, the juniors got

their LSG promotion. In other divisions due to dearth

of LSG Posts, the seniors are deprived notional LSG

promotion.

ii) Similarly, the Rule 38 transferees could not get

their LSG notional promotion due to application of

Divisional gradation List.

In order to mitigate the genuine grievances of

the above said officials in promotional aspects,

Modification of LSG' by granting notional promotion

may be explored since the anomaly is prevailing due

to various changes and the procedures of the LSG/

HSG II recruitment rules.

X. The pay scale of HSG II & BCR is one and the

same. After the modification of FR 22 on 30.8.99, any

official holding/drawing the pay of HSG II on regular

basis even for a single day can very well officiate in

HSG I, as these promotions are in the same general

line. The officiating pay for the officiation in HSG I Posts

by the BCR officials have been denied in many circles.

This may please be clarified.

XI. In some circles like Tamilnadu, west Bengal,

some BCR officials were allowed to officiate in HSG I

Posts for more than one year during 2002-2005 in the

absence of clarity orders and the circle heads referred

the matter to regularise the arrangement beyond one

year as one time measure which is pending at the

Directorate over one year. The due officiating pay had

neither drawn nor taken for pensionary benefited.

XII. The unfilled 2/3rd vacancies in LSG earmarked

from 2002 to 2006 may also be filled up alongwith 1/

3rd vacancies among senior officials on notional basis

which will facilitate to have more number of eligible

LSG officials to avail HSG II promotion without resorting

for exemption and seniors will be benefits.

2. Clarificatory orders on TBOP equating with

LSG- declining promotion- contained in

Directorate letter No. 22-5/95-PEI dt 21.5.07-

request to withdraw the instructions.

In Para 2 of the above said letter, it is clarified

that if an official declines regular promotion after getting

higher pay scale under TBOP/BCR promotion

schemes, his/her placement in higher pay scale under

BCR scheme/regular promotion be delayed for the

period he/she declined regular promotion.

This is arbitrary, unjust and against to the spirit

of TBOP/BCR schemes, which were introduced after

surrendering posts on matching savings as per the

agreement reached between the Dept & staff side.

'The placement of and official in higher pay scale

under BCR promotion scheme' can be delayed only

when a TBOP official due for BCR promotion declined

BCR promotion and the period of such declination is

valid for one year normally.

Declining promotion is the right of an official

and it is not an offence for which no punishment such

as reduction in the pay or pay scale could be ordered

as there are no such provisions in the FR commonly

applicable for all central Govt Servants. Similarly there

is also no provision or procedure in the FRs for such

delaying of a scale of pay to and official who has not

committed any punishable offence.

The Dept vide its letter no. 137-18/2001-SPB II

dt 23.4.01 clarified that upgradation under TBOP/BCR

schemes and promotions to LSG/HSG II as per the

provisions of recruitment rules are two distinct matters.

As such the present linkage with BCR with regular

LSG is in contradiction of such orders. This will

tantamount to the wrong application of powers and

freezing the benefits of financial upgradation like ACP

misconstruing the normal channel of regular promotion.

This is nothing but a farce as BCR officials in

the pay scale of RS. 5000-8000 are being given

promotion to a cadre with a lower pay scale of Rs

4500-7000. without any monetary benefits but involving

change of work spot, maintenance of double

establishment etc.

It is requested to withdraw the orders forthwith

3. Filling up the post of APM Accounts LSG &


HSG.II posts

In almost all the circles, the notional promotion

to APM (LSG) Accounts cadre since 1986 has not

been granted to the PO and RMS Accounts qualified

officials based on the gradation list prepared with the

date of qualifying in the PO & RMS Accountants

Examination.

In some circles, the FTP qualified officials

possessing accounts qualifications were considered

for the APM Accounts post. They are of the considered

opinion that there is no discrimination between General

and Accounts line and Accounts line lost its identity.

The CAT Chennai in its OA No. 201/2006 in the

case of Shri P. Ramadoss vs. The Principal Chief

PMG, Tamil Nadu Circle held the separate identity of

APM Accounts cadre and directed to conduct the DPC

for Accounts line without any procastination based on

the Recruitment Rules dated 13-09-76 and issue

necessary promotion orders to the eligible PO and

RMS Accounts line officials within a period of four

weeks.

Since there is no amendment has given to the

LSG Accountants Rule 1976 and it will be most

appropriate to maintain a separate entity of the cadre,

it is requested to issue necessary clarificatory orders

to all the circles to issue notional and regular promotion

to LSG & HSG.II from 1986 onwards to the Accounts

line cadre.

4. Filling up of Residual Vacancies.

While thanking the kind gesture of the Dept in

causing orders to fill up the Residual vacancies vide

its letter No. 60-5/2007- SPB I dt 15.5.07 in very clear

terms, it is constrained to note that this has not been

implemented in true spirit in any circle.

(i) In respect of Tamilnadu circle, decision has not

been taken to fill up 858 PA vacancies and seeking

clarifications on flimsy reasons. The regularisation

of adhoc candidates was held in direct recruit

vacancies during 2001,2002 &2003. The marks

obtained them may be taken as the cut off mark

for the recruitment year and the posts may be

filled up.

(ii) So far the case of Andhra Circle, the chief PMG,AP

Circle has sought permission by extending one

time relaxation from the recruitment rule vide Col

II of schedule to recruitment rules 2002 to fill up

the 1045 PA Posts kept unfilled under this

catogary.

(iii) Similarly, the Chief PMG, Chattisgarh has sent

proposal for approval to fill up the PA Posts.

(iv) In respect of Rajasthan, there are 292 PA Posts

kept unfilled up and the Chief PMG has not initiated

any action.

(v) The Chief PMG, Jharkhand Circle informed that

there are 134 PA vacancies kept unfilled up under

this category

(vi) The Chief PMG, Orissa submitted proposal to

approve for filling up of 190 PA Posts vide his letter

dt. 11.06.07.

(vii) In Uttarakhand Circle, no action has been initiated

to fill up the 112 PA vacancies which are kept

unfilled up under this category.

(viii) The chief PMG West Bengal has also sought

clarification to fill up the vacant posts which is

more than 1000 under this category.

In short, the guidelines issued by the Directorate

have not been strictly implemented. All circle heads

are seeking clarifications or approvals from the

Directorate resulting in unwarranted delay in filling up

of such vacant posts. Suitable action may please be

taken to fill up all the vacant posts under this category

at the earliest.

5. Recovery of alleged over Payment of Pay

& Allowances to Postman on account of fixation

from the officials of Accounts branches of Head

Post offices.

Please refer this union letter No P/4-2/Pay dated

5.4.07 on this subject.

The drawing and disbursing officers have been

made as scapegoats in this case. According to Rule

87 of P&T FHB. Vol I, any excess payment can be

recovered at any time. The Apex court also confirmed

that any excess paid due to administrative mistake,

there is no rule which prohibits such recovery

(udayasankaran Vs. Union of India JT 1996 (4) (SC).

The most pertinent point that the inspection

parties like ICIR and Audit have approved and certified

such drawals in many places. The clarification

regarding fixation of pay of postmen in scale of Rs.

2750-4400 (with two advance interments) was issued

only on 10.6.99 vide letter no. 23-66/97-PEI (PCC) dt.

10.6.99. The defective order dt 9.10.97 resulted in over

payments. For this over payments and consequently

for obtaining undertakings, accounts branch alone

cannot be held responsible.

It is inhuman to recover the amount in lakhs


from the poor officials of Account branch for minor

negligence of not obtaining undertakings.

It is therefore requested to stop such recovery

and drop action if any initiated anywhere to recover

the amount from the officials working in Accounts

branch.

6. Counting of Special Allowance for pay

fixation - case of PO and RMS Accountants

A kind attention is invited to the letter No. 9 (1)/

2004-PA Admn. I/501 to 504 dated 29-10-2006 from

Shri T.K. Mitra, ADG (PA and Admn) of the Directorate

wherein it is informed that the Special Pay, which is

now called as Special Allowance drawn in lieu of higher

pay scale, may be taken into account for fixing pay

under ACP to the JAO examination qualified

candidates on ACP promotion.

The above said instructions were issued in

consultation with DOP&T and the same and similar

analogy should be applied in the case of PO and RMS

Accountants also and their Special Allowance should

be taken for fixation of pay in the higher cadre on

promotion.

Further, vide letter No. 8 (1)/2004-PA-Admn/1/

54 to 76 dated 23-04-07, it was mentioned that this

issue relates to operative offices, the matter may be

taken up with Directorate through CPMG, which

exhibits lack of coordination among the branches in

the Directorate.

It is, therefore, requested to cause immediate

orders on the issue, which is hanging over ten years.

Further the orders applicable to JAO qualified official

be applied to the similarly situated official working

in the post offices on acquiring TBOP / BCR

promotion.

7. Tenure posting of officials in Single &

Double Handed post offices - request to withdraw

the conditions.

Please refer this union letter No. P/38-RT dated

24-01-2006. The condition that the SPM / PA working

in Single / Double handed offices should not be posted

back to the same office during their entire service is

against the statutory rules of P&T Manual Volume

IV. The doubts about the integrity of all Postal

Assistants / Sub Postmasters will mar the interest

of the officials and it is requested to withdraw the

conditions forthwith.

8. Restriction in posting of SPM due to minor

penalties / CR entries

The Directorate has given instructions to all the

Circle Heads from investigation section dated 06-11-

2006 that if an official is awarded with anyone of the

minor or major punishments or adverse entries in the

CR, he should not be posted as SPM throughout his

career.

The suggestion given by the Investigation wing

as a preventive measure to minimise and eradicate

the losses and frauds has been circulated for

implementation not only in the RT 2007 but also in the

existing cases.

The suggestion is practicable only if the

department is having full staff strength and it is not

feasible to implement when the shortage exceeds

30% in the Postal Assistant cadre. This will create

hardship to the officials. That too reverting the

existing SPMs from their SPM posts as Postal

Assistant before completing their tenure is unjust and

bad in law and against to the natural justice. This

will spoil their reputations earned from the public by

shifting them from SPMs post before completing their

tenure.

The other suggestion given by the same section

earlier that not to keep vacant in B & A class offices

and fill up the Postal Assistant posts has not been

implemented. As such this will create many hardships

to all the officials who are unwilling to take position as

Postmasters.

This is most pertinent to mention that after lapse

of certain periods, the officials inflicted with punishment

become eligible to write the promotional exams like

IPO, JAO, Group B etc. As such, mere imposition of

even a minor penalty which will be the disqualification

to be a SPM throughout his career is nothing but a

farce and not maintainable.

If the suggestions are implemented

retrospectively, at one stage none will be available for

the post of SPM due to prevailing shortage, a well

senior official has to work as Postal Assistant under

the supervision of his most junior which will also be a

punishment not improvised in the CCS CCA Rules.

9. Counting the training period for benefits of

promotion under TBOP / BCR scheme

Despite the clear instructions contained in

Directorate letter No. 44-47/98-SPB.II dated 31-07-2000

& 27-07-2001, that the period of induction training may

also be counted as qualifying service for the benefit of

TBOP / BCR promotions, this has not been


implemented in many circles.

To cite an instance, the circle IFA, Tamil Nadu

Circle has denied such kind of benefits to those

recruited and deputed for training before 01-01-86.

Based on the opinion, the Chief Postmaster General,

Tamil Nadu Circle has issued instructions vide his

letter No. STA/80-1/00/Rlgs dated 21-02-2003 in

which it was stated that the period of Induction training

can be taken for the benefit of promotion under TBOP

/ BCR only if the person selected was under training

on 01-01-86 or deputed for training on or after 01-01-

86, apart the fulfilment of other conditions such as

obligatory nature of such training, immediate

promotion on completion of such training.

Resultantly, the officials granted with BCR

promotions based on the Directorate orders dated 31-

07-2000 taking into account of their training period for

promotion have faced recovery and re-fixation. The

opinion of the circle IFA to cut short the benefits from

01-01-86 is wrong and arbitrary one.

It is, therefore, requested to cause necessary

instructions to all the circle heads to count the training

period without any restriction and stop recovery

immediately.

Similarly, the induction training period of the

promotes to LGOs may also be taken as service

rendered in Postal Assistant cadre if opted for fixation

and other benefits.

10. Non conducting of Group B examination

since 2003

On the pretext of CAT case, no Group B

examination has been conducted since 2003, depriving

the chances of many bright officials aspiring for Group

B promotion.

The department has neither gone for appeal nor

brought out updated version of postal manuals

prescribed for the examination. It is a gross neglect

of the interest of the so many bright officials.

Under the present context of modernisation with

a sea change in the printing industry, the printing of

volumes within a short span of three months does not

pose any problem or otherwise as in the case of

Volume VII & V, we can authorise the publishers like

Swamy's Publishers, Nabhi Publishers etc. to

accomplish this task.

A pertinent point to be noted in this regard is

that after the 5th Pay Commission, the department,

unmindful of the amendment of the recruitment rules

by due notification with the approval of nodal

ministries, has plunged to controversial issue of orders

permitting only those officials who are holding

standard LSG post on regular basis, blocking out all

TBOP / BCR officials. As everybody knows, the

bunch of Group B officers passed Group B

examination when they were holding TBOP / BCR

status and many of them retired. To deny such

benefits available to the TBOP / BCR officials, a

sudden switch over to standard LSG criteria has

neither been consulted with service union nor has

amended the recruitment rules with the due approval

of nodal ministry.

Hence, it is requested to conduct the Group B

exam immediately permitting the officials having 20

years of clerical service irrespective of the fact whether

they are LSG or TBOP.

11. Allowing to appear in the Departmental

Exam like IPOs - case of physically handicapped

officials

The Directorate has clarified vide its letter No.

7-8/04-SPB dated 28-07-2005 that physically

handicapped officials should not be allowed to appear

in the IPO Examination as they are unable to perform

the physically demanding nature of work.

This is unfortunate and total injustice to the

physically handicapped officials who fulfil all the

required qualifications, skills etc. and could perform

the duties efficiently and effectively. There are many

jobs in IPO cadre, which did not require any outdoor

duties. Even in the case of physically handicapped

officials, they could also do the outdoor duties with

the vehicle, advance equipments or with the

assistance.

Their disability should not be construed or taken

as a ruse to deny their justified right to appear in the

examination which is against to the canon of natural

justice.

It is, therefore, requested to reconsider the

decision and allow all physically handicapped officials

to appear in the exam under relaxed terms or at least

fix some reservation of the posts of IPOs which do not

require any outdoor duties like circle, regional offices.

12. Revision of FSC

The Fixed Stationery Charges fixed to office /

officials does not commensurate with the expenses

being incurred for the purpose due to spiral increase

of commodities & inflation.


The present amount does not meet the 1/3rd

requirements and the incharges are incurring expenses

at their own cost.

It is requested to consider the same and revise

the FSC with retrospective effect.

13. Enhancement of honorarium to RD

premature closures

The rates fixed for RD PMC work a decade back

needs revision. The norms were also revised. During

1996, the PMC was permitted without interest after

one year. Now PMC is allowed only after three years

with SB interest. Resultantly IBB has to be worked

out for more than three years consuming more time.

After RD decentralisation, it becomes very difficult and

risky too.

It is requested to revise the honorarium upward

at the following rates.

Sub Postmaster - Rs. 5.00 per account

Postal Assistant - Rs. 10 per account

Clarification may also be issued about the

quantum of honorarium entitled to single handed

SPMs.

14. Assurances made on 19.4.07 for settlement

of genuine, Serious Problems confronting the

staff

(I) During discussions on 19.4.07 with the Secretary,

it was assured to cause orders to employ retired

pensioners to manage the shortage of staff in post

offices.

Orders have not been issued so far

(II) It was stated that an internal committee will be

appointed to process and decide the quantum of

honorarium/incentive for the new business activities

like RPLI/Western Union Money Transfer,

processing of pass port Applications, verification

of addresses for cell phones, NRGEIS. etc. and

uniform application of honorarium in all circles for

common work. This is yet to be finalised.

(III) It was assured that the syllabus for LGO exam

will be liberalised in order to fill up the posts and

the draft copy was also handed over later to

unions. There after there is no information. The

assured special exam for LGOS in the month of

November '07 may be implemented with the

revised syllabus duly increasing the number of

chances as agreed.

(IV) It was assured to grant OTA to Postal operative

staff to manage the excess work due to

absenteeism and shortage. The Secretary

personally agreed this. Whereas no orders have

been communicated to the circles so far despite

our repeated requests and reminders.

(V) It was assured to dispense the confirmation

examination and stated that it will be included in

the revised recruitment rules for Postal Asst. it is

requested to expedite the same.

15. Non-allotment of adequate funds to clear

Personal Claims of the officials.

The adequate funds under OTA, TE, HON,

have not been allotted to circles. The circles have

been advised to spent1/12th every month of total

al lotment for the year and whenever we are

demanding to clear pending bills, we have been

replied that adequate funds are available. But the

reality is different.

In many divisions, the TA Bills are pending since

2004/2005. OTA Bills are pending years together;

Medical Bills are also pending similarly. For instance,

in Ongole division in A. P. Circle, T.A Bills are pending

since 2002 amounting to Rs. 1200000 approximately

where as the allotment of 3 lakhs only was made for

the current year. Similar is the position of most of the

divisions.

It is therefore requested to correctly assess the

total requirement of funds under all heads from all

divisions and seek extra allotment of funds from the

MOF as one time measure as it was done earlier and

wiped out the pending bills then.

16. Inspector post Examination - Request to

increase the number of chances

In accordance with the Directorate letter No. A-

3402/01/2007-DE. Dt 13.4.07, the surplus qualified

candidates who are available over & above the selected

candidates in a circle can be allotted to the different

circles. This has given effect from 2007.

In many circles, the officials who secured higher

marks in the I.P.O. Exam but could not be declared

successful due to dearth of Vacancies in their circles

have exhausted the maximum number of chances

earlier. As such, the benefits of this order do not reach

the merited candidates.

It is requested that due to introduction of new

system, one more chance be given to the officials who

exhausted their chances to appear in the ensuing I.P.O.

examination.


Recoveries on alleged grounds of so-calledcontributory negligence are increasing day by day.Subordinate Officers follow only one Rule-the inhumanRule of recovering the entire losses sustained byGovernment from innocent employees foisting on theunfortunates some charge or other. The charge isusually that the employee did not adhere to this orthat rule in the discharge of duties. The rules arequoted only when a loss occurs. The dishonest elementmore often, goes scot-free. Many of the subordinateOfficers did not care about whether the workingconditions provided by them permitted the employeeconcerned to observe the rules. The shortage of staffand overburden of work are not taken in to account.The extenuating factors are not at all considered whileordering the recovery. There are also some officerswho conspire to shield the real culprit and punish theinnocents. In short 'Pardoning the guilty andprosecuting the innocents' is the order of the day indeciding such cases.

We reproduce below some orders ofGovernment, which sympathise with the innocents.They may be carefully studied.1) Extracts from D.GP&T Memo No. 6/8/59-DISCdated 9.7.1959"The nature and magnitude of the offence on the partof each official determine the penalty prima-faciejustified. Therefore, the Disciplinary Authority should,before initiating departmental proceedings, determinewhether action should be taken under rule 15 or rule16 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Controland Appeal) Rules, 1957. If only one of the minorpenalties is called for, action should normally be takenunder rule 16 ibid so that the proceedings are notdelayed unnecessarily."

While it is important that every officialresponsible for mis-conduct or negligence should besuitably dealt with it is of equal importance that theconcept of contributory negligence' should be correctlyunderstood by the Disciplinary' Authorities and thereshould not be any attempt to somehow or other effectrecovery of the entire loss sustained by the Departmentby imposing punishments on official who are guilty ofonly minor omissions. In the interest of expeditiousaction it is important that 'contributory negligence'should be correctly assessed in a realistic mannerand while determining any omissions or lapses on thepart of an official, the bearing of such lapses on theloss considered and the extenuating circumstancesin which the duties were performed shall be given dueweight. For instance in the case of burglary in a post

REPEATSContributory Negligence

office, if normal precautions are taken in the locking ofthe office or safe, holding an official responsible forcontributory negligence for the simple reason that oncertain previous occasions he had allowed the officesafe to be opened in his presence by a Class IV officialwould be a far-fetched hypothesis in regard tocontributory negligence and would cause unduehardship to officials and delay in the finalisation ofdisciplinary proceedings.2) Copy of D G P&T Memo No. 25/49/60-DISCdated 30.11.60In this office Memo No, 6/20/58-Disc. Dated 18.3.58.a form for the charge sheet under Rule 16 of the CentralCivil Services (classification, Control and Appeal) Ruleshad been prescribed. Cases still occur where neitherthe prescribed form is used nor there is any indicationin the charge sheet that action was contemplated formor indicate in the charge sheet that action wasproposed under Rule 16 of the C. C. S (C.C.A) Rules,1957, or that it was proposed to impose a particularpenalty, the proceedings become liable to be halted.

One of the penalties prescribed in rule 13 of theCentral Civil Services (classification, Control and Appeal)Rules, 1957 is recovery from pay of the whole or part ofany pecuniary loss caused to the Govt. This penaltycan be imposed, only when it has been establishedthat the Govt, Servant concerned was negligent in theperformance of his duties or was responsible for breachof rules or orders and that the loss was caused bysuch negligence or breach. It has come to notice, thatin quite a few cases punishment orders do not containa finding on these two important issues in clear andprecise terms. In some, the relation between thenegligence or breach of orders or rules and the loss isleft out while in some this relation is so looselydescribed as would be capable of a construction otherthan that intended. As such punishment order are liableto be successfully challenged. In is necessary that thedisciplinary authorities word these orders carefully andin conformity with the language of the rule. In other words,they must contain a clear finding on the following points:-I. That the Govt. servant was responsible for a particularact or acts of negligence or breach of orders or rules andII. That such negligence and/or breach of ordersor rules caused the loss.

It is of course necessary that the punishmentorder should discuss the case fully so as to clearlybring out that the finding/findings have been arrived atafter the punishing authority has applied his mindthereto.

Letter No.P/2-20/Varanasi West dated : 21.09.2007

to Secretary, Department of Posts

l Posting of Doctor in the Postal Dispensary,

Varanasi, in U.P. Circle.

It is brought to our notice that despite the

sanctioned strength of four doctors for the said

dispensary, only one doctor is now available on adhoc

basis and attending the patients.

In the absence of adequate doctors, the staff

are suffering for their treatment.

It is requested to cause necessary action to fill

up the Doctor's post immediately to the Postal

Dispensary Varanasi at the earliest.

Soliciting immediate response.

Letter No.P/2-22/Hoogly dated 21.09.2007 addressed

to Secretary, Department of Posts

l Drawal of HRA in respect of Chinsurah R.S,

Magra & Adconagar PO in West Bengal Circle.

It is constrained to note that due to protracted

delay in obtaining Dependency certificate from the

District Collector for renewal sanction, the due HRA

at par with Hoogly city has not been drawn and paid

to the staff working at Magra & Adconagar from 1.8.01

and Chinsurah R.S from 1.1.02. The delay is

deplorable.

It is requested to cause necessary actions to

clear the sanction up to the current period.

Further, it is requested to consider whether such

lengthy procedure of obtaining dependency certificate

from other department consuming a lot of time can be

dispensed with for the renewal sanction of HRA once

in three years.

A line in reply about the action taken is highly

solicited.

Letter No. P/2-13/Nanded dated :21.09.2007

addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts

l Fraud committed in R.D. Accounts at

Nanded HO-request immediate action.

It is constrained to note that one Sri A.A. Dayna,

PA, Nanded HO has committed fraud in the single RD

accounts only to the tune of one lakh which come to

light two years back.

There are many more items which could be

detected if the enquiry is properly made from MPKY

and PRSS accounts. Since the delinquent is the brother

LETTERS TO DEPARTMENTof then SPOs, Nanded division, the enquiry has been

halted at the initial stage itself even after two years.

We feel that at later date, the innocent officials

may be brought under the net of contributory factors

by acquitting the culprit in this episode. This causes

a serious concern.

It is therefore requested to cause necessary

instructions to the circle administration to expedite

the enquiry and punish the guilty without hearing the

pressure exerted by the then SSPOs who is said to

be protecting culprit in this case.

Letter No.P/2-19/Chennai North. dated- 21.09.07


l Business activities threatening posture of

regional administrations in Chennai:

Despite the repeated assurances, that there will

be no harassment in business targets against the

officials, this is still in increase in many circles.

For instance, the Postmaster General, Chennai


city region has instructed all divisional heads that every

PRI (P) should get AMFI qualification with in a period

of three months and if they fail to get AMFI

qualification, they will be removed from the post of

PRI (P) s.

This is arbitrary, unjust and against to the

assurances on the subject and also highly deplorable.

It is requested to cause necessary instructions

to the circle administration, Tamilnadu circle to

withdraw such condition enforced on PRI (P) s by the

regional administration immediately.

l Provision of 'Holiday Home Hogenakkel in

Dharmapuri division (Tamilnadu Circle).

Hogenakkel in one of the major tourist centre

in Tamilnadu circle and it is situated in the convey

The demand over two decades by the Circle

been considered favourably so far.

It is therefore requested to consider the same

and provide Holiday home at the earliest.

l Harassing staff in the name of Business

activities case of Hoshangabad Division in M.P.

Circle.

It is rather shocking to note that the SSPOs,

Hoshangabad has issued a letter on 7.9.07 directing

all the Postal employees to purchase one KVP at once

compulsorily and five KVP certificates by all SPMs

before 25.11.07. The copy of the letter is enclosed

herewith for your information.

Letter No.P/2-4/ Raipur dated- 27.09.2007 addressed

to the Secretary, Department of Post

l Unhelpful and anti worker attitude of Chief

PMG Chhattisgarh Circle.

Ref: your letter No. 16-68/2007-SR dt. 22.8.07.

Apropos references, it is dismayed to note that

the Circle administration has not given full facts of the

case and furnished fabricated report to the Directorate.

1. Sri B.L. Gangber, SPM Sankar Nagar and also

the Divisional Secretary of the union has been shifted

from the SPM post merely for non writing of one day

entries in the copy of the S.O. Account. Repeat not a

longer period and that too due to heavy work carried

out in the office. For the reason, he has been proceeded

Rule under 16 in order to justify his shifting from the

SPM Post. This is nothing but blatant misuse of power

against the staff representative of the division.

2. Sri M.K. Sharma, Divisional Treasurer of Raipur

division is a LSG FTP official and the Chief PMG has

issued orders on 7.7.07 to accommodate him at Raipur

HO by downgrading the post of Raigarh since the

official would face transfer to the distance of more than

400 kms. The order was cancelled on 9.7.07 due to

intervention of the rival union Circle Secretary. The Chief

PMG is favouring the rival union members to the

maximum extent. One Sri C.G. Goswami, ACS of

National union is permitted to occupy the staff quarters

even after his transfer from Durg.

3. Sri V. K. Agarwal, Divisional Secretary, Durg

division and a qualified S.B. official has not been

considered for transfer to Durg HPO, despite unqualified

officials are working at HO. On the other hand, the


Chief PMG has favoured the then Circle Secretary

and transferred him three times within two years and

posted at Durg eventhough one HSG I Post was lying

vacant at Raipur. This shows his undue favouritism

extended to rival union.

4. One of the Asst Circle Secretary of this union

working at Raigargh division has been transferred to

Ambikapur on his promotion to LSG even though there

was a vacancy at Raigarh.

The Chief PMG is totally unhelpful and resorting

vendictive action against the office bearers of this union

due to pointing out of certain issues by the Circle Union

in person like,

a. Improper utilisation of Gardener

b. Utilisation of Power Supply from office to

quarters portion.

c. Wrong policy in computerisation programme

which ends a stand still and a total misled report

sent to Directorate.

d. Threatening the staff on the pretext of

computerisation even after receiving fullest

support from staff.

e. Undue favouritism extended to rival union and

acting as per their wishes.

In nutshell, there is a total resentment among the

staff and apprehension prevailed due to the threatening

postures of the Chief PMG. It is told that a number of

Group 'B' officers sought voluntary retirement in the recent

past due to his abuses and high handed action.

It is therefore requested to intervene effectively

and set right the situation at the earliest to ensure

peace and amity in the circle.

now at Miraj S.R. PO is under the possession of Postal

It is requested to consider the same and reply

at the earliest.

Sub: Applicability of CCS (Pension) Rules 1972in respect those appointed prior to 1.4.04 andput on induction training- clarification sought far.

Kindly refer to the Dept of pen & PW OM No.

38158/06-P & PW (A) dt 11.10.06 in which it was

clarified that due to the request made by the Staff

Side of the National council (JCM), the Govt.

considered and clarified that the employees who were

put on induction training after their appointment prior

to 1.1.04 and are paid salary from that date would be

covered under CCS (Pension) Rules 1972.

So for the Postal employees who were

appointed and put on training are paid not salary but

stipend only. According to the orders stated in para

supra, the officials who are paid salary during training

period before 1.1.04 will be covered by CCS (Pension)

Rules 1972. This has beneficial only to the IAS, IPS

officers who are alone drawing salary for their training

period and it is definite that the staff side shall not

take up such issues for officers in the JCM.

In fact, this order is not beneficial to any Group

C or Group D staff.

It is requested to take up this case at

appropriate level and see the clarification should be

applied for those employees who were on training on

1.1.07 and drawn stipend for their training period.

Shall I seek your response Comrade,

Growth has made pay parity possible

KKN Kutty, (Secretary General, Confederation)

A wage is considered the product of collective

bargaining reckoned with reference to the productivity

and profits of an enterprise. Trade unions play a vital

role in making the bargain effective from the workers'

standpoint. In the case of government employees,

though the right to form associations is afforded, the

right to strike is denied.

Having thus shut out collective bargaining, the

periodical wage revision for government employees had

been-and continues to be-through the Pay

Commission. Even before the Royal Commission

(presided over by Raymond Priestly) on UK's civil

services propounded the theory of "fair comparison"

as the primary principle of wage determination, the

First Pay Commission set up by the colonial rulers in

the wake of the phenomenal price rise in the post-war

economy of our country, had advocated that a fair

relativity should be maintained between the rates of

pay of civil servants and outside rates, with a caveat

that in no case should pay be less than a living wage.

The Second Pay Commission, which came into

existence in 1957-59, asserted further that comparison

should be with the rates of remuneration in enterprises

in which personnel problems, viz, recruitment, condition

of service etc, are dealt with in a systematic manner.

The commission went on to suggest that while at the

lowest level, the socio-economic necessity of providing

a fair wage or a living wage is to be adhered to, with

regard to the highest salaries, retaining persons with

requisite talent and qualifications must be an important

criterion. The commission approvingly quoted the

dictum incorporated in the First Five-Year Plan report

that the "wages in public undertakings should not be

less favourable than those prevailing in the

neighbouring private enterprise".

It is also pertinent to note that the Royal

Commission was of the view that "fair comparison" as

the primary principle of wage determination is not only

fair to employees but also to the community at large.

For, if the government, which represents the interest

of taxpayers, pay what responsible employers pay for

comparable work, citizens cannot reasonably complain

that they are being exploited.

Having stated this laudable principle of wage

determination, none of the pay commissions translated

it into reality. The 15th Indian Labour Conference (ILC)

resolution on "need-based minimum wage", basing

upon the Dr Aykroyd formula of a net intake of food

which provides 2,700 calories for an average Indian

adult of moderate activity, was deliberated at length

by the Third Pay Commission and discarded.

It is the bounden duty of the government to

provide the "need-based minimum wage" computed

on the basis of the 15th ILC norms at the lowest level

of the government hierarchy, given the fact that the

country's economy has registered a growth rate of 8-

9% in recent years and its revenue has gone up

considerably, whereby the wage bill as a percentage

of tax revenue has come down to 9% today from 21%

in 1997-98.

In the matter of salaries at the highest level,

the government has to be guided by the requirement

of retaining persons with talent, ability and

qualifications needed for a highly complex job. Some

of the large corporate houses in the country pay

exorbitant salaries to their executives. This has led to

personnel at various levels in government service

migrating in search of the fabulous monetary benefits

offered by private entrepreneurs. While it would be

inadvisable to disregard this fact, the government's

decision in the matter will have to be tempered with

the equally important requirement of maintaining a

reasonable ratio between the minimum and maximum

salary. The principle of wage determination for

government employees has undoubtedly to be

the basis of a fair comparison of wages obtaining in

private and public sector undertakings.

Confederation of Central Government Employees &

Workers)

Consider the perks & job security, too

Alakh N. Sharma

Globalisation and the consequent stiff

competition in the labour and product market has led

to a demand from several quarters for the need to have

parity in pay and allowances between government/

public sector jobs and those in the private sector. It is

argued that in the absence of such parity, there will

be a flight of talented and competent manpower from

government to private sector, seriously eroding the

efficiency of the former. Such a trend is already visible

to some extent.

Although it should be admitted in general that

DEBATE ON PAY


such a challenge might exist in a few sectors, such

an argument has serious limitations, and is in fact

dangerous at this stage of our development. First, the

nature of a government job is overwhelmingly that of

public utility and non-commercial. That is why such

jobs are mostly treated as services and hence the

nomenclature 'Indian Administrative Service', 'Indian

Foreign Service', etc. Most public utilities are heavily

subsidized by the government (and, hence, taxpayers'

money).

In such a situation, it would be erroneous to

treat these jobs in the same category in those in the

profit-making private sector. This also suggests that

while selecting people for government and public sector

jobs, the spirit of service should be kept in mind.

However, a distinction may be made between public

sector commercial undertakings and public utilities.

While some parity in crucial jobs (not CEO) between

public sector commercial undertakings and private

sector may be considered, the social responsibility of

the former (eg, lending by commercial banks to the

priority sector, etc) should also be kept in mind.

Second, most government jobs have many other

hidden benefits such as housing, shorter working hours

and a higher welfare component (pension, etc). Around

90% of employees in the private sector do not get

pension, whereas it is almost universal in the case of

government jobs, notwithstanding recent reforms in

the pension system. A secretary to the government of

India living in a posh Delhi colony with several other

perks cannot be compared only in terms of so-called

monthly salary with private sector professionals. That

is why the real difference between the two groups may

not be as high as is generally thought to be. Further,

it should be kept in mind that an overwhelming large

percentage are disadvantaged as their counterparts

in government.

Thirdly, there is almost universal security of job

in the government sector, against high risks in private

sector. The psychological and mental stress through

which professionals in the private sector go through is

enormous. Even lower middle and lower level

employees in a vast majority of the private sector face

extreme uncertainty.

Lastly, the very high salary and perks for a small

percentage of people is also unethical as well as has

the potential of leading to social unrest in a country

like India with widespread poverty and where more than

half of rural labourers do not get a minimum wage

(which is just a subsistence wage).

And, ironically, there has been a significant

growth in consumption by middle and higher income

groups. Such a widening social divide is very unhealthy

for Indian society and its polity. The incidence of

Naxalism and violence in a vast tract of rural India is a

manifestation of such acute social and economic

deprivation.

Therefore, one should not loose sight of these aspects

while considering an income and pay policy. There is

need for a delicate balance between equity and social

stability on one hand, and meeting the challenge of

globalisation on the other. Hopefully, the Sixth Pay

Commission will not be blindly dictated by market

considerations.

Ministry of Communication & IT letter No. 43-27/2007-PE-II dated : 30-08-2007

l Amendment to the provisions of Rule 10 ofCCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 regarding review ofsuspension

The undersigned is directed to refer to theprovisions of Rule 10 of Central Civil Services(Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 andto say that the provisions regarding deemedsuspension have since been reviewed by thisDepartment.

2. The provisions in Rule 10 of CCS (CCA) Rules

have been modified and amendment to the same have

been notified in Notification No. GSR 105, dated

06-06-2007 published in the Gazette of India, dated

16-06-2007.

3. As per the original provisions of Rule 10 of the

CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, the provision for review within

ninety days was applicable to all types of suspensions.

However, in cases of continued detention, the review

becomes a mere formality with no consequences as

a Government servant in such a situation has to

continue to be under deemed suspension. It has,

therefore been decided that a review of suspension

shall not be necessary in such cases. Accordingly, a

provision has now been added to sub-rule (7) of the

said Rule 10 as follows:

"Provided that no such review of suspension shallbe necessary in the case of deemed suspensionunder sub-rule (2), if the Government servantcontinues to be under detention at the time ofcompletion of ninety days' of suspension and theninety days period for review in such cases willcount form the date the Government servantdetained in custody is released from detentionor the date on which the fact of his release fromdetention is intimated to his Appointing Authority,whichever is later".

4. In deemed suspension under sub-rule(2), the

date of order of suspension may be much later than

the deemed date of suspension. With a view to making

these provisions explicit, sub-rule (6) of the aforesaid

Rule 10 has now been amended to substitute the

words "ninety days from the date of order of

suspension". Consequent upon this amendment, it

would henceforth be necessary to specifically indicate

in the orders of suspension the effective date of

suspension.

5. Sub-rule (7) of the aforesaid Rule 10 stipulates

says that "Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-

rule (5) (a), an order of suspension made or deemed

to have been made under sub-rule (1) or (2) of this rule

shall not be valid after a period of ninety days unless it

is extended after review, for a further period before the

expiry of ninety days." Sub-rule (5) (a) of the aforesaid

Rule 10 has, therefore, now been amended to read as

follows:-

"Subject to the provisions contained in sub-rule(7), an order of suspension made or deemed tohave been made under this rule shall continueto remain in force until it is modified or revokedby the authority competent to do so."

Consequently, the words "Notwithstanding

anything contained in sub-rule (5) (a)" stated in sub-

rule (7) of Rule 10 have become redundant and have


therefore, been deleted.

6. In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit

and Accounts Department are concerned, these

amendments have been made in consultation with the

Comptroller and Auditor-General of India.

7. All Ministries/Departments are requested to

please bring the aforementioned amendments of Rule

10 of the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 to the notice of all

Disciplinary Authorities under their control and ensure

that review of the orders of suspension is conducted

strictly in conformity with the amended provisions

thereof.

G.I., Dept. of Per. & Trg. O.M. No. 11012/4/2007-

Estt.(A) dated 12-07-2007

l Simultaneous action of prosecution in acourt and initiation of departmental proceedings

The undersigned is directed to refer to the

M.H.A. O.M. No. 39/30/54-Ests., dated the 7th June,

1955 and No. 39/8/64-Ests., dated the 4th Sept., 1964

on the above subject which state that prosecution

should be the general rule in all cases which are found

fit to be sent to Court and in which the offences are of

bribery, corruption or other criminal misconduct

involving loss of substantial public funds and that in

such cases departmental action should not precede

prosecution. References are being received in this

Department seeking clarification as to whether

departmental action can also be taken where the same

matter has been taken up in a court of competent

jurisdiction for prosecution of the Government servant

concerned.

2. What may be deduced from the above

instructions is that, in serious cases involving offences

such as bribery/corruption, etc., action should be

launched for prosecution as a matter of course. The

Hon'ble Supreme Court had held in their various

judgments the important ones being State of Rajasthan

v. B.K. Meera and others [1996 6 SCC 417]. Capt. M.

Paul Anthony v. Bharat Gold Mines Limited [1993 3

SCC 679], Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan and others

v. T. Srinivas [2004 (6) SCALE 467] and Noida

Entrepreneurs' Association v. Noida [JT 2007 (2) SC

620] that merely because a criminal trial is pending, a

departmental inquiry involving the very same charges

as is involved in the criminal proceedings is not barred.

The approach and objective in the criminal proceedings

and disciplinary proceedings are altogether distinct

and different. In the disciplinary proceedings, the

question is whether the respondent is guilty of such

conduct as would merit his removal from service or a

lesser punishment, as the case may be whereas in

the criminal proceedings, the question is whether the

offences registered against the Government servant

are established and if established, what sentence can

be imposed on him. In serious nature of cases like

acceptance of illegal gratification, the desirability of

continuing the concerned Government servant in

service in spite of the serious charges leveled against

him may have to be considered by the Competent

Authority to proceed with departmental action.

3. However if the charge in the criminal case is of

a grave nature which involves complicated questioned

of law and fact, if would be desirable to stay the

departmental proceedings till the conclusion of the

criminal case. This will depend upon the nature of

offence and the evidence and material collected

against the Government servant during investigation

or as reflected in the charge-sheet. If the criminal case

does not proceed or its disposal is being unduly

delayed, the departmental proceedings even if they

were kept pending on account of the pendency of the

criminal case can be resumed and proceeded with so

as to conclude them at an early date so that if the

employee is found not guilty, the administration may

get rid of him at the earliest if the case so warrants.

4. In the case of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation

Ltd. v. Sarvesh Berry [2004 (10) SCALE Page 340], it

has been held in Para. 9 that "it is not desirable to lay

down any guidelines as inflexible rules in which the

departmental proceedings may not be stayed pending

trial in criminal case against the delinquent officer.

Each case requires to be considered in the back-drop

of its own facts and circumstances. There would be

no bar to proceed simultaneously with departmental

inquiry and trial of a criminal case unless the charge

in the criminal trial is of grave nature involving

complicated questions of fact and law. The Apex Court

has referred to the conclusions given in Para. 22 of

Captain M. Paul Anthony's case.

5. It is therefore, clarified that stay of disciplinary

proceedings is not a must in every case where there

is a criminal trial on the very same charges and the

concerned authority may decide on proceeding with

the departmental proceedings after taking into

consideration the facts and circumstances of each

case and the guidelines given by the Hon'ble Supreme

Court as mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

6. All Ministries/Departments are therefore

requested to keep in view the above guidelines while

dealing with cases of criminal misconduct of

Government servants.

G.I., Dept. of Per. & Trg., O.M. No. 11012/6/2007-

Estt. A dated 01-08-2007

l Hon'ble Supreme Court Judgment in Civil

Appeal No. 143 of 2001 filed by Shri Surinder

Singh against Union of India and others against


the judgment and order, dated 27-09-2000 of HighCourt of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh inCivil Writ Petition No. 13280-CAT/2000

I am directed to forward a copy of judgment,

dated the 30th March, 2007 on the above subject,

delivered by the Apex Court. In this case, the following

questions of law have been raised before the Supreme

Court :

(i) Whether the selection to post of EDDA (now

called GDS Mail Deliverer) can be quashed

by the Tribunal when minimum qualification

prescribed for a Post is middle standard and

merit list is prepared on the basis of marks

obtained in the preferential qualification, i.e.

matriculation, and

(ii) Whether the Tribunal is competent to lay down

the procedure for selection of a candidate and

further empowered to impose conditions and

restrict the exercise of the power of the

employer in making the appointment as per

prescribed rules.

2. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has taken into

consideration the following orders issued by the

Department:

(a) Letter No. 17-366/91-ED & Trg., dated 12-3-1993.

(b) Letter No. 19-17/97-ED & Trg., dated 21-11-1997.

The Apex Court at P. 10 of judgment has observed

that "guidelines/norms/instructions clearly stipulate

that if the candidates, who have passed matriculation

examination, are available for selection to the posts of

EDDA, the selection should be made by the Selection

Committee on the basis of the marks obtained by the

candidates in preferential qualification (i.e.

matriculation) and in the absence of matriculate

candidates, the selection has to be made on the basis

of essential qualification, viz,. 8th standard. It appears

that the CAT as well as the High Court, both have lost

sight of the object and import of the Guidelines/Norms/

Instructions, dated 21-07-1998 laid down by a

Competent Authority. The CAT is not competent to

lay down criteria for the selection and appointment to

the post of EDDA. It is the prerogative and authority of

the employer to lay down suitable service conditions

to the respective posts.

In our view, in service jurisprudence, the

prescription of preferential qualification not only refers

to numeric superiority but is essentially related to

better mental capacity, ability and maturity to shoulder

the responsibilities, which are entrusted to the

candidates after their selection to a particular post.

All the more, it is important for efficient and effective

administration. The basic object of prescribing a

minimum qualification is to put a cut-off level for a

particular job in accordance with the minimum

competency required for the performance of that job.

The object of prescribing preferential qualification is to

select the best amongst the better candidates who

possess more competence than the other. Sub-clause

(iv) of Clause 3 puts a limit with respect to preferential

qualification by way of a clear stipulation that no

preference should be given to the qualification above

matriculation. Hence, the preferential qualification was

considered to be more effective and efficient and also

it was a clear assumption that a candidate possessing

the same is best suited for the post in question.

………….In Government of Andhra Pradesh v.

P. Dilip Kumar and another [(1993)2 SCC 310], this

Court in Paragraph 13 held as under :-

"13…………. There is nothing arbitrary or unreasonable

in the employer preferring a candidate with higher

qualification for service. It is well settled by a catena

of decisions that classification on the basis of higher

educational qualification to achieve higher

administrative efficiency is permissible under our

constitutional scheme".

Further in Paragraph 15, it is observed as under :

"15…………..It is true that notwithstanding the

preference rule it is always open to the recruiting agency

to prescribe a minimum eligibility qualification with a

view to demarcating and narrowing down the field of

choice with the ultimate objective of permitting

candidate with higher qualifications to enter the zone

of consideration."

In view of above stated factual situation and

settled position of law, the orders of the CAT as well

as High Court cannot be sustained."

3. You are requested to bring the contents of this

important judgment to the notice of all concerned for

information, guidance and necessary action. If any

such case is presently pending before CAT/High Court,

the contents of this judgment may be brought to the

notice of the concerned CAT/High Court, through

CGSC.
