2.
RESOLUTION
ON SCRAPPING OF NEW PENSION SCHEME
This 30thA.I.C., while vehemently opposing
the new pension scheme introduced from April 2004, strongly urges for scrapping
of the scheme in toto. The argument advocated by the Government that the total
outgo on account of payments for the existing central government employees has
gone up from Rs. 5,206 Crores in 1993 / 94 to Rs. 22, 618 Crores in 2003 / 04
and there is need to switch over from defined benefit pension Scheme to defined
contribution Scheme does not hold water. The value of money and the Indian
currency in the global market, the rise in price index and the rise in the rate
of inflation are not taken into account. As the cost of living steadily
increases along with the fiscal standards, the increase shown in the payment of
pensions is only theoretical. Further, it is argued that many countries are
switching to the contributory scheme also is irrelevant. Because, so many
western countries which are quite often quoted as models by the ruling elite
are paying pension as a social security for its employees ranging from 40 per
cent to even 55 percent of the last pay drawn.
This A.I.C. further notes with concern that the amount
accumulated in the pension fund by contributions from the employees and the
departments they are employed is proposed to be invested in the trade of the
share market. It is everyone’s knowledge that the share market is a heartless
giant and the gambling is known for its fluctuations, many of the slumps are
deliberately orchestrated to suit the needs of the trade gamblers. The fate of
the hard earned money of the employees will be at the mercy of these
unscrupulous elements. This is highly unfair and un-warranted.
The new pension scheme is against the interests of the
employees for the following reason:-
(i)
It displaces the
age-old scheme of social security
(ii) The fund
raised in the pension will be invested in private share market for which
there is no security
(iii) The
contributory pension scheme does not guarantee the equal share as that of the
employee by the Govt.
Hence,
this 30th All India Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees
Union Group `C` held at Tirupati from 15th to 18th June,
2014 strongly feels that this
anti-employee new pension scheme may be scrapped once and for all. It further
unanimously resolves to urge the Govt.
to drop the proposal and to restore the original defined Benefit Pension
Scheme.
With Regards
Yours
sincerely,

2. RESOLUTION
ON ISSUES OF CASUAL LABOUR
This 30th All India
Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group `C` held at
Tirupati from 15th to 17th June, 2014 resolves to request
the Department to settle the following demands of casual, part time and
contingent employees as these issues are pending since long time and in spite
of repeated requests and submission of the report by the committee appointed to
consider these issues long back. The delay in settlement of the genuine demands
of these downtrodden cadres is deplorable and requires immediate sympathetic
consideration and justice.

3. RESOLUTION ON
MARKETING EXECUTIVES/ SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR
The issue of
creation of a separate establishment of Marketing Executive / System Administrator and elevating
them to the present status of LSG has already been demanded through the
proposal for cadre restructuring. Notwithstanding the creation of separate
cadre in higher cadre for the marketing executives/ System Administrator, this A.I.C.
urges the Department for consideration of special allowance equal to 10% of pay
plus grade pay by recognizing their hard work in the marketing arena.
4. RESOLUTION ON MODIFIED ACP SCHEME
After adopting the MACP Scheme in
Postal, we have taken many issues affecting the employees and modified to the
extent benefitting the employees. The major issue is related to the
constitution of Scrutiny committees at divisional levels to review the CRS for
five years for upgrading bench mark for those who have not been granted MACP
due to application of benchmark. The department has once again reiterated the
same order to compile the same where it was left out. The following issues were
taken and settled by the Federation during the period under review.
i) Constituted Scrutiny committees at
divisional levels to review the CRS for five years for those who have not been
granted MACP due to application of benchmark.
ii) Clarified that if there is no currency of
punishments as on the due date for MACP, it should not be withheld and it
should be accorded with retrospective effect.
iii) Clarified that for promotees they need not
wait for completion of 20 years of service and they should be granted MACP on
completion of 10 years service in PA cadre,
iv) Clarified that opting for defunct Accountant
scale shall not be taken as promotion and not to be counted for MACP.
After serving the
strike notice, the Department has once again issued a detailed clarificatory
orders on MACP vide its No. 4-7 (MACPs)2009-PCC dt 30.06.2011 in which the
following is focused.
i) Again the process of upgrading CR
entries shall be exercised for the left out officials within one month.
ii) Even after, there is no scope to upgrade
the CR entries; the official shall be given an opportunity to represent within
15 days before such ACRs are placed in DPC.
iii) Screening committee may be constituted to
consider the left out cases.
Based
on the above, the process of MACP would have been completed in many left out
cases. Still the following main
issues are not sorted out.
i) MACP shall be considered on completion
of 10 years service in one cadre. Any promotion acquired by writing the
competitive examination shall not be equated with MACP promotion. The Jodhpur
Judgment shall be honoured and implemented.
ii) Application of bench mark shall be
dropped up to pay band 2 levels
iii) Grant of MACP to those declined LSG
promotion prior to issue of MACP orders (ie) 18.09.2009.
iv) Non grant of third MACP by counting 10
years from TBOP in case of Promotees.
This AIC urges the Department to consider and cause orders on the above
mentioned items in particular the implementation of Jodhpur CAT judgments. This
Federal Council further appeals the Confederation and the Staff side of the JCM
National Council to take up this seriously for the immediate implementation of
the judgment to all.
5. RESOLUTION ON PO & RMS
ACCOUNTANTS
The PO and RMS Accountants are
discharging the duties of higher responsibility and greater importance. The
importance of accounts work has been recognized in every establishment of Govt.
But it is an unfortunate situation in the Dept. of posts that the importance of
the Accountants working at the field levels has not been recognized. This
Federation has been raising the demand to grant higher pay scale to the PO and
RMS Accountants, which has not yet been considered. The demand of equating them
with the Accountants of the Postal Accounts has also not been considered.
After implementation of
recommendation of the Fifth pay commission, due to change of nomenclature of
special pay as special allowance, the quantum of special allowance is not being
counted towards fixation of pay on promotion. The conditions prescribed for
grant of special pay in F.R has not been changed. Thus there is a great
injustice to PO and RMS accountants in not counting the special allowance for
pay fixation on promotion. Despite the Supreme court has given the verdict to
treat the special allowance for pay fixation on TBOP, this has been partially
implemented up to 23.04.1998. This should have been extended up to 31.08.2008.
The posts of LSG and HSG in accounts
branches in Head Post offices have been manned by officials having
qualification of PO and RMS Accountants. On upgradation of 1622 posts into
HSG–I, most of the posts of LSG Accountants have been upgraded to HSG II
resulting in dearth of LSG in feeder cadre. The DPC for the APM Accounts in LSG
could not be held due to want of vacancies in Accounts line and resultantly the
qualified candidates are deprived of their due promotion chances.
Various changes in the rules &
procedures had taken place in the case of LSG Accountants causing many
confusions at field level. To overcome all these anomalies this 9thA.I.C.
of NFPE resolves to urge upon the postal directorate to:
1 The PO and RMS Accountants may be
granted a higher pay scale of LSG.
2.The special allowance granted to PO
and RMS accountant may be counted towards fixation of pay on promotion.
3. As per the Directorate
instructions vide its letter No.6/15/60- SPB II dt 16.7.60 read with letter
No.6/1/59-SPB. dt 8.5.59, the option prematurely taken from officials may be
withdrawn and the officials concerned may be allowed to exercise an option only
when their turn for promotion to either lines comes in future. The recent
clarification on the subject has not been implemented in the true spirit in
many circles.
(i) Since the Dept. has declared the APM
accounts as Circle cadre, divisional cadre & now as circle cadre, and also
stated that the TBOP, BCR are only financial upgradations and not LSG & HSG
II respectively, fresh option should be obtained from the PO & RMS accountants
qualified officials whether they continue to remain in General / or opt to
Accounts line. The present provision to exercise options at the time of LSG
promotion is insufficient.
(ii) Based
on the 1972 Directorate orders, the date of qualifying the PO & RMS
Accountant Exam shall be taken as criteria for LSG APM accounts promotion and
the erstwhile Accountant gradation list be revived with updated entities. The
provisions laid down in Rule 276 of Postal Volume IV should be adhered in right
spirit.
(iii) The LSG / APM Accountants may
be allotted the share of 20% as before which was in the recruitment rules in
the HSG II promotion.
iv) The special allowance being paid
to PO & RMS Accountants shall be courted for pay fixation at the time of
promotion/upgradation if he is continuously for 3 years as envisaged in Rule FR
– 9 (25) Appendix 8 provision No. 18
This A.I.C.
further resolves to declare the PO & RMS Accountant as Promotional Cadre to
Postal Assistant with higher pay and a separate Channel of Promotion to the
Accounts line may be considered in order to overcome the present anomalies in
promotion.
6. RESOLUTION ON THE GRANT OF NAXALIST THREAT
AREA ALLOWANCE TO THE POSTAL EMPLOYEES WORKING IN NAXALIST THREAT AREAS
It noteworthy to mention that in the
OM. No.2003/5/90 –E.II (B) Ministry of Finance Department of Expenditure dated
27.1.93 circulated under Dte. No.P.11/93 – PAP dated 30.3.93, it was clearly
mentioned that the compensatory allowance should be given for the period during
which he serves in Tribal Areas and shall remain in operation upto the date of
withdrawal of such allowance by the State Govt. in respect of their employees. The allowance was in
operation upto 31.3.2002 and till that period Tribal Area Allowance was also
paid to the postal staff working in those districts.
After 31.3.2002, the Maharashtra
State Govt. sanctioned Naxalist Threat Area Allowance discontinuing the Tribal
Area Allowance to their employees working in Chandrapur and Godchiroli districts
of the rate of 15% of the basic pay subject to maximum of Rs.1,500/- per month to the state Govt. Employees.
Active Naxalist forces are in swing
throughout Chandrapur and Godchiroli districts in dense and inaccessible
forests and the postal employees are also facing the horrified problems as in
the case of the state Govt. Employees.
The same is the position in respect
of Andhra Circle and the areas like Guntur, Vishakapatnam, West Godavari,
Warrangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Adilabad, Mahaboob Nagar, Ongole etc. and the
threat is visible.In respect of Jharkhand, the areas like Palamau, Singhbhum,
Giridih, Hazaribag, Some Part of Ranchi and Dhanbad should also be identified
as a Naxalite threat area and should be granted with such allowance.In Orissa Circle,
the areas like Sambalpur, Sundergarh, Koraput and in Chattisgarh, the Bastar
areas, the movement is visible. These areas should also be declared as threat
area.
Notwithstanding, the matter was taken
up at the Directorate level no fruitful action to extend the benefit of
Naxalist Threat Area Allowance has seemed to be taken by the Postal Department
till date and the same has been set at defiance
ignoring the law of justice and basic horrible feature of the postal
employees problems working in all those places..
This A.I.C. demands immediate
expeditious fruitful action of the Postal Dte. to extend the benefit of
Naxalist. Threat Area Allowance to the postal employees including GDS.
7. RESOLUTION ON BUREAUCRATIC EXCESSES
This 30th All India
Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group `C` held at
Tirupati from 15th to 17th June, 2014 notes with grave concern that the postal
bureaucracy in several places all over the country exhibit tendencies of
bureaucratic excesses. Coupled with flouting of several departmental rules and
regulations to adopt a rule of whims rather than rule of law, the corrupt
practices are on the increase. As always the case, many of the corrupt
practices are meticulously planned to escape detection and apprehension. The
general policy of the department like closure of RMS offices etc comes in handy
to these corrupt bureaucrats who reportedly enter into unholy understanding
with landlords to vacate buildings by closures. Purchase of computers in unimaginable
proportions for exorbitant prices while the market shows drastic fall in
computer prices is an area worth investigating for corrupt practices. The
practice of spending in lakhs in the name of developmental meetings in star
hotels and in the name of marketing of business
premium products is another area of bureaucratic excess that requires
investigation to check wasteful expenditure. The financial powers have been
brushed aside by many PMGs in renovating their quarters and beautifying them by
spending lakhs of rupees. The funds allotted for staff quarters were diverted
and there is no check in spending by such bureaucrats. The tendency to close the eyes for whatever
happens behind the screen of marketing management should come to an end. The
wastage of expenditure at every new incumbent occupying a position for
decorating and redecorating the chambers of officers to the tastes of new
incumbents is also a bureaucratic excess only.
The attitude of the
bureaucracy towards unions and staff is antagonistic in general at several
levels and we are not talking about the exceptions here. The antagonism is getting accelerated day by
day due to the implementation of neo-liberal policies of the Government in
Department of Posts. The liberalization policies attempt to attack the
interests of employees severely and the Officers being the implementators of
those policies often takes it personally and overzealously to reach targets as
fast as they can, let it be closure of the offices or abolition of posts and
they consider any resistance from unions as intolerable. This attitude leads to
bureaucratic excesses in several places where the vindictiveness of the worst
kind is witnessed. Staffs are harassed; they are punished harshly for small
lapses too. There are some officers who have scant respect for unions and
behave in such a way that they are the monarchs and the unions are unwanted
subjects. These officers don’t follow the rules and cancel the monthly meetings
at their whims; refuse informal meetings to union office bearers and refuse to
discuss in a transparent manner on issues that affect the interests of staff;
resort to punish the union office bearers at the first available flimsy
opportunity.
The FR 17 (a) awarded in Punjab
Circle for holding demonstration on leave and the Rule 16 and punishments
awarded to 17 officials for demonstration after working hours in the Andhra
Pradesh circle are the glaring examples prevailing in the lower level. The
lower officers, without any sense but with full prejudiced mind award
punishments by misusing the powers. There is no check by higher officers.
This A.I.C. therefore calls upon the
Postal Board to issue proper administrative instructions to correct the
tendencies of bureaucratic excesses of all kind and ensure function at all
levels transparently and according to rules and guidelines.
8. RESOLUTION ON PROBLEMS OF WOMEN
EMPLOYEES:
Based on international Labour
Conference decisions of 1919, the Govt. of India reviewed the problems in depth
and suggested its opinion before ILC in 1921.
Pursuant to the decision of Royal
Commission Recommendations of 1930, Maternity Benefits Act was promulgated in
our country. Thereafter the Government of India extended certain benefits to
working women employees.
Nowadays, the percentage of women
employees have increased steadily in Government departments by virtue of their
merits and qualifications. It is their onerous responsibility to actively
involve themselves in the Trade Union movement at all levels and this
conference appeals their active role in this august organization.
LEAVE
RESERVE:
Due to availing maternity leave and
leave availed for pre and post-natal care, there is a greater degree of
absenteeism among women employees which is unavoidable. After the introduction
of child care leave and enhancing the number of days for maternity leave, the
need of more leave reserve is felt in the department Sanction of enhancing the
percentage of Leave Reserve strength to the extent of 20% is inevitable. There
should be no bar in granting child care leave due to shortage of staff and
inadequate LR strength.
CRÈCHES:
The Department has issued orders to
subordinate offices to provide Crèches under certain condition. These require
liberalization. However the number of employees is small, the Department may on
payment, enter into arrangement with crèche houses opened by other Department
like Telecom etc. to enable the Postal Women employees to leave their Children
under the care of trained matrons when they proceed to work. The grant from the
welfare fund shall be revised and it can be paid from the state funds instead
of the circle welfare funds.
TRANSFERS:
Though the Government has issued
orders that women employees should be transferred to the stations where their
husbands are serving etc., at field level, there appears to be much delay to
concede their request. Many of their cases have not been considered in
practice.
The women employees should not be
posted where basic facilities are lacking. Even though, the Department caused
order based on our request, this is not being properly adhered to.
This A.I.C. appeals the Department to
entertain transfer cases to their native places as requested in respect of
unmarried women employees and to the places where their husbands are working in
respect of married employees without putting any restrictions, reservations or
rejections.
This A.I.C. notes with serious
concern on the denial of Sixth CPC recommendation on the Flexi working hours
for women employees by the Department at Departmental council meeting. The
proposal would have been forwarded to nodal ministries instead of rejection.
HOSTELS:
Keeping in view that women employees
both married and unmarried have to serve away from home-stations due to
circumstance beyond their control, the following are suggested.
1.
That
women hostels may be constructed if the number of women employees is large and
2.
Rooms
may be reserved for women employees in hostels which may be constructed in
other Department of Government.
3.
Allotting
staff quarters earmarking for women employees who are working in those places
out of their native places.
DEPUTATION:
In the case of Leave Reserve period,
the women employees are indiscriminately subjected to deputations to single
handed offices and other offices where basic amenities are not available and
offices which are beyond 8 KM radius resulting in change of Head Quarters. This
should be avoided.
This A.I.C. resolved to appeal to the Department of Posts
to consider the women employees problem in depth and settle those, which are
within the ambit of powers.
This A.I.C. appeals the Secretary
Department of Posts to respond immediately and settle these issues with open
mind keeping in view the natural justice.

concentration centre for IInd clss mails for the entire Kerala Circle. But
while identifying the L-1 for IInd class , Palakkad PSO was omitted and made it
as L-2 outward under L-I Thrissur RMS.
Palakkad
PSO is having all the infrastructure and is the gateway office to Kerala Circle
. Palakkad PSO should be identified as L-I , IInd class Office.
338. New entrants after 01/01/2006 are entitled to
avail three home town & one All India LTC in a block year for the first
eight years. This facility may be extended to officials who are due to retire within
8 years.
339. Department is considering parcel as the
business of hour, ignoring the volume or
size of parcels, a large number of parcels are being booked. This is creating
trouble in transmission . Staff on parcel duties , especially ladies are facing
hardships in dealing with. It is resolved to fix the norms in size &
weight.
440. This AIC resolves that work of R.P. Sorting
should not be merged with work of Parcel sorting to avoid loss of revenue. Trace and
Track should be arranged separately in
R.P.Sorting.
441. The Postal dispensary at Siliguri is in
miserable condition since long. Hardly any doctor or other medical staff are
available regularly throughout the year. This matter should be viewed seriously
and as early as possible as a large number of Postal beneficiaries are
dependent on it.
442. Repair/ Renovation of RMS Offices and
Rest Houses:-
This 30th All India Conference of A.I.RMS & MMS
Employees Union Group-C held at Tirupathi(A.P) during 15l to 18th June2014,
notes with deep concern that a good number of RMS offices in West Bengal circle
viz. Ranaghat RMS, Kharagpur RMS ,Bankura RMS , Siliguri Junction ,Malda
RMS,RLO BLdg.(Kol RMS) etc are almost in wretched condition. Walls and roofs
are almost damaged Concrete chunks from the roof are about to fall at any
moment and may cause any mishap. The same condition lies in respect of Rest
Houses of different RMS divisions of west Bengal circle viz Sahibganj Rest
House, Lalgola Rest House, Bankura Rest House,NJP Rest House and Bhagalpur Rest
House etc.Repair/renovation of the RMS Offices and the Rest Houses are made

accident.
443. This 30th All India Conference of A.I.RMS & MMS Employees Union
Group-C held at Tirupathi(A.P) during 15th to 18th .June,2014, notes with deep
concern that the budgetary allotment under medical head exhausts only to pay
the medical advances / claims for treatment of patients suffering from above
noted diseases which require a lot of amounts . Consequently medical claims of
general cases are not possible to be reimbursed for scarcity of fund. A huge
number of medical bills are pending in various Divisions of this Circle.
Directorate is urged
that special allotment of medical fund is made for treatment of dreadful
diseases which require a lot of amounts, in order to enable the general
claimants to get their medical bills reimbursed in time from the general
allotment under medical fund.
444. Supply of 40 seated Railway Bogies for R.M.S
Sections in place of 20 seated.
Railway Authorities are providing short
space of 20 seated Handicapped bogies to R.MS Sections for carrying mails
instead of 40 seated S.L.R bogies as required for. Consequent upon such non
supply of adequate accommodation for carrying mails, misconnection of mails or
non loading of mails occurred very often and thus transshipment of public mails
are suffered badly.Directorate is urged
to take up with the Railway
authority to provide 40 seated S.LR Bogies to the RMS Sections in the interest
of quick disposal of public mails.
We urge upon you to kindly take
necessary action on the above mentioned resolutions at an early date.
With regards
Yours
sincerely,
(Giri Raj Singh ) General
Secretary
