AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY
TO ALL
THE WEAK AND DOWNTRODDEN NEED PROTECTION
The Government of India decided to
extend the benefit of enhancement of bonus calculation celling from 3500 to
7000, to Central Government employees also, in the wake of 2016 September 2nd General
strike, in which this was an important demand of the Confederation of Central
Government Employees & Workers and NFPE. Orders enhancing the ceiling
to 7000/- was issued by Government of India on 29th August 2016 with
retrospective effect from 01-04-2014. i.e; from Financial year 2014-15.
Payment of arrears for the year 2014-15 was made to the departmental employees
in the month of September 2016 itself.
Unfortunately, the benefit of enhanced bonus calculation ceiling is not
extended to three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks till this date. They have
neither been paid arrears for 2014-15 nor the enhanced bonus for 2015-16
also. Each GDS employee has suffered a loss of Rs. 14,000 for two
financial years on account of limiting the bonus to the old ceiling of
3500. There is no convincing or valid reason for denial or delay in
payment of enhanced bonus to Gramin Dak Sevaks.
Last time, the Nataraja Murthy committee’s recommendation had resulted in
denial of enhancement of bonus calculation ceiling from 2500 to 3500.
Nataraja Murthy has recommended that GDS should be paid only 50% of the bonus
of regular employees, as their productivity is only 50% of full time
employees. Government accepted this recommendation and refused to grant
enhanced bonus calculation ceiling of 3500/- to GDS, Against this decision of
the Government NFPE, AIPEU-GDS and Postal Joint Council of action conducted
series of agitational programes including strike and finally Government
approved 3,500/- bonus calculation ceiling to GDS also. Thus the issue
was settled once for all and there is no need of raising any doubt by the
Postal Board, this time.
But, surprisingly, the Postal Board instead of issuing orders for grant of
enhanced bonus to GDS referred the issue to GDS Committee. Fortunately,
unlike Nataraja Murthy (a sadist officer who snatched away many of the benefit
of GDS through his most retrograde and inhuman recommendations), the present
GDS committee Chairman Shri Kamalesh Chandra (Retired Postal Board Member) submitted
a reasonable, balanced and judicious recommendation to the Postal Board.
In his recommendation Shri Kamalesh Chandrahas made it clear that the
difference between the revenue generated by Branch Post Offices (GDS) and the
expenditure incurred for running the BOs is only 200 Crores, where as the total
deficit of the Department of Posts is more than 6000 crores. That shows
that major portion of the loss of the Postal Department is not due to GDS
system. He recommended that as the productivity of GDS is equal or in
some cases more than departmental employees, GDS are eligible for enhanced
bonus ceiling of Rs.7000/-.
Inspite of this unambiguous recommendation, the Postal Board refused to issue
orders. Instead, it has referred the file for approval of Finance
Ministry. Now the file is pending with Finance Ministry. More than
two months are over, after the Government issuing the enhanced bonus
calculation ceiling order. Three lakhs GDS are totally disappointed and their
anger and protest is increasing day by day. Grave injustice is done to
the GDS and it cannot be tolerated.
There are 5.5 lakhs employees working in the Postal Department, out of that
2.75 lakhs are Gramin Dak Sevaks. Denial of enhanced bonus to 50% of the
work force is a clear case of discrimination. It is not a case of GDS
alone. In a family if somebody is affected, then it becomes the issue of
all members of the family. Every member of the family shall stand
together to help the affected member and to resolve the problem. Here
also, the problem of GDS who are the most oppressed and down-trodden section of
the Postal department is the problem of all. An injury to one is an
injury to all.
It is in this background, Postal JCA comprising NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS &
NUGDS has decided to organise two day’s nationwide strike on 9th & 10th
November 2016, demanding (1) enhanced bonus to GDS and (2) payment of arrears
of revised wages from 01-01-2006 to all casual labourers. NFPE and
AIPEU-GDS calls upon the entirety of Postal employees including GDS and Casual
labourers to make the two days strike a grand success.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The 6th Meeting of the committee for examination of
feasibility of implementation of recommendations of Seventh Central Pay
Commission for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners was held under the
Chairmanship of Shri C, Viswanath, Secretary (Pension) on 6.10.2016 at Sardar
Patel Bhawan, New Delhi This meeting was called for seeking the views of the
Staff side of JCM on the feasibility of implementation of the first option for
revision of pension of pre 2016 pensioners recommended by the Seventh Central
Pay Commission.
2. The following were present from official side:
1. Sh. Ashok Kumar Dash, Member (Personnel), Department of Posts.
2. Ms. Santosh, Joint Secretary, Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare,
3. Sh. Rozy Agarwal, Joint CGDA, Ministry of Defence,
4. Sh. R. K. Chaturvedi, Joint Secretary, Implementation Cell, Department of
Expenditure,
5. Sh. Sanjay Singh, Chief Controller (Pension), CPAO (representing Controller

6. Sh. Tanveer Ahmed, Executive Director, Railway Board (representing Member

3. The following were present from JCM ( staff side):
1. Shri Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, JCM.
2. Shri Guman Singh, Member
3. Shri J. R. Bhosale, Member
4. Shri K.K. N, Kutty, Member
5. Shri C. Srikurnar. Member
6. Shri R. D. Gupta, Member
4. Welcoming Members of the Committee and the representatives of JCM (Staff
Side), Secretary (Pension) requested Additional Secretary (Pension) to make a
presentation.
5. In her presentation, Addl Secretary (Pension) brought out the position
regarding the requirement of records and the factors which may affect the
feasibility of arriving at the notional pay in Seventh CPC by counting
increments in the last scale of pay as recommended by the Pay . Commission. She
also mentioned about the anomalies that are likely to arise in the process. The
presentation brought out the methodology adopted by the Committee to examine
the feasibility of the first option and the finding of the Committee in this
regard. She mentioned that the service records for increment method may not be
available in around 18.3% of the cases. The difficulties in extracting the information
from the records and determining the exact number of the increments for
revision of pension under first option were explained. She indicated that the
Committee has found that the alternative method of arriving at notional pay in
Seventh CPC by applying formula for pay revision for serving employees in each
Pay Commission and giving 50% of this as pension to be beneficial to all
pensioners in comparison to the fitment method.
6. Thereafter, Secretary (Pension) requested the Members of
the JCM (Staff Side) for their views on the feasibility of the first option.
7. The representative of the JCM (Staff side) mentioned that in their
representation to the Seventh Commission, they had suggested revision of
pension of pre-2006 pensioners by notional Pay Fixation in each successive pay
Commission period. However, the Pay Commission recommended the revision of
pension by fixing the notional pay on the basis of increments earned in the
last post.
8. The JCM (Staff side) mentioned that the Cabinet
has approved revision of pension by the first option (increment method), if its
implementation is found feasible after examination by the Committee. They
mentioned that in addition to the Service Book/ Personal File, the details of
increments earned can be ascertained from the Gradation/Seniority List issued
by the Departments from time to time. Therefore, one cannot say that the first
option recommended by the Pay Commission is not feasible on the grounds of
non-availability of records. In regard to the perceived anomalies, the Staff
side stated that anomalies arose in implementation of the recommendations of
all previous Pay Commissions. Such anomalies can always be rectified through
the mechanism of Anomaly Committee.
9, On the alternate method of revision of pension
by notional pay . fixation in each Pay Commission, the Staff side felt that the
pensioners who are likely to get higher benefit by increments method may not
accept revision ‘of pension by pay fixation method. This may, therefore, lead
to litigation.
10. After detailed discussion,
the staff side sought time to consider the alternate method of fixation of
notional pay in each intervening Pay Commission for revision of pension as on
1.1.2016 before submitting their final views in this regard. It was, accordingly,
decided to have another meeting with the JCM (Staff side) on 17.10.2016 at
10.00 A.M.
