Letter to D.K.CHOWHAN COMMITTEE by Sri.D.KISHAN RAO G/S NAPE Group-C dated 05.03.2015

Amendments may be taken up in compassionate appointment to dependents of GDS officials

                The GDS officials are very low paid employees.  On retirement after putting 40years of service they are getting only around one lakh rupees only. In the event of their demise the family members are coming on the roads because they would not get any pension. As they are not getting any pension or gratuity amount at par with regular employees they can’t be compared with regular employees for offering compassionate appointment to the dependents of the GDS. In fact the cap of 50 points should be removed and one of the dependent of GDS official should be given compassionate appointment. If it is not feasible to remove the point system it should be restricted to 30 points.

                No scientific method is being adopted in allotting points. E.g. If GDS officials is having RCC roof house no points are being given. Nowadays no one is constructing tiled roof house. Everyone is constructing RCC roof house only. The State Govt. is also constructing 2 bed room RCC roof houses to the below poverty people. In fact it is the slogan of the Central Govt. to provide a pakka house to each and every family in the country.  Therefore it is suggested that 10 points be given if the GDS is having a house irrespective of the house type. However if he has multi stored building the no points may given. 

                Regarding income of the member, no points are being given in the monthly income exceeds Rs.550/-. Nowadays due to higher inflation a labour is also getting daily wages more than Rs.200/-. The State Governments are extending the welfare measure to those people whose income is below Rs.150000 p.m. In fact the revenue authorities are not giving income certificate to the tune of less than Rs.60000 per year. Therefore 10 points be given if the income is below Rs.10000 per month.

                Regarding discharge benefits only 10 points are being given if the total benefit exceeds Rs.150000. The GDSGIS amount itself more than Rs.50000. The severance amount is also not liter amount and gratuity amount are put together the amount will automatically exceed Rs.150000/-. Therefore it is suggested that 20 points be given up to to 20 Lakhs , 15 points upto 3 Lakhs and 10 Lakhs. These amounts are proposed keeping in view of the next pay revision committee.

                For left over service, if the GDS is having below 5 years only 2 points are being given. But in fact the compassionate appointment is meant for losing offer of the family members . Therefore if there are minor girls or unmarried daughters, unemployed sons, 10 points should be given irrespective of the service left.

                Some GDS officials are having lands but they are not getting any income from them. 10 points may be given for land upto 10 acers. 5points for 15 acers and 3 points for more than 15 acers above.
