Comrades,

            The Postal Joint Council of Action comprising NFPE, FNPO, AIPE Union GDS (NFPE) & NUGDS has viewed with grave concern, the total negative attitude of the Central Government towards the genuine demands of the Postal employees which includes the revision of wages and service condition of the Gramin Dak Sevaks by 7^thCPC, implementation of Cadre Restructuring Agreement and filling up of all vacant posts in all cadres of Department of Posts.

            As the 7^th CPC  may  submit its report  any time before 31^st  December,2015 , delay in settling the above demands will  result in denial of justice to 5.5 lakhs Postal Employees .

            In view of the above serious situation the PJCA  unanimously decided to  revive the  postponed indefinite strike of  May 6^th  and  to commence  the indefinite  strike  from 23^rd November, 2015, the date  from which JCM National Council  Staff Side  is going  on indefinite  strike. It is further  decided  that  in case  the JCM  Staff Side  change their decision the PJCA  will go on  strike from 23d November,2015 itselffor the following  demands:

            (i)Include GDS in 7^th CPC for wage revision and other service related matters.

            (ii)Implement cadre Restructuring proposals in all cadres including Postal     Accounts and MMS in Department of Posts

Govt decision to discontinue Postage stamps of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi - Contreversy erupted

A controversy erupted  over the decision to discontinue postage stamps of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi with the government saying only one family can not get this honour, even as the Congress termed the move as "insult to the history" and demanded an apology. 

  Defending the move, Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad also said that an advisory committee has suggested to replace the picture of Indira Gandhi with that of Yoga on inland letters, but no final decision has been taken as yet.  Prasad said a decision has been taken on advice of the Philatelic Advisory Committee to issue definitive series of stamps in the honour of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Patel, Shivaji, Maulana Azad, Bhagat Singh, JP Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, Vivekananda and Maharana Pratap. 

"In the definitive stamp series, the focus was (so far) on one family... though other names were there. Mahatma Gandhi was there, Maulana Azad was there. Dr Ambedkar was there. Dr Bhabha was there," he said.  The Minister said the new series is "inclusive" and seeks to encapsule the contribution of all the leading lights of the freedom movement including Jawaharlal Nehru.  Defending the decision to drop stamps on former Prime Ministers Indira and Rajiv Gandhi stamps, Prasad said the government believes that whoever has contributed in making of India, irrespective of the ideology, should be honoured and postage stamp is a symbol of that honour.

PLI Directorate,

New Delhi 110 021

Date: 15.09.2015

To,

The Heads of Circles.

Subject: Revision of PLI Proposal form.

Consequent upon revision of maximum Sum Assured limit in respect of PLI policies from Rs 20 lacs to 50 lacs earlier, two separate proposal forms - one for below 20 lacs and another for above 20 lacs were brought in to use which caused lot of changes to be made in CIS. Hence need was felt for devising a single proposal form.

Accordingly, a common proposal form for PLI proposals has been devised. A soft copy of the same sent herewith. Henceforth this new form may please be brought into use.

Till the time provisions are made in the Core Insurance Solution for capturing the data for additional information for proposals having sum Assured /aggregate Sum Assured more than 20 lacs, the data will not be captured by the system. Accepting authorities concerned should, therefore, take decision of acceptance or otherwise based on the scanned images available in the system. Once provision is made in the CIS for data capturing, data will be entered for new proposals of more than 20 lacs of sum assured/ aggregate sum assured received thereafter.

Suitable instructions may be issued to all concerned for information guidance & necessary action.

This issues with the approval of the Chief General Manger [PLI].

Central Govt asked the Departments to move compulsory Retirement proposals in respect of Employees who are inefficient and doubtful Integrity

Central Govt asked the Departments to move compulsory Retirement proposals in respect of Employees who are inefficient and doubtful Integrity

Central Govt has asked the Departments to move compulsory Retirement proposals in respect of Employees who are inefficient and having doubtful Integrity..

The move by the Department of Personnel and Training follows a meeting chaired byCabinet Secretary P K Sinha recently on mechanisms to be adopted to ensure probity among government servants. 

The departments have been asked to invoke provisions of Fundamental Rule (56J) to compulsorily retire such officials. 

Under Fundamental Rule 56(J), the government has the "absolute right" to retire, if necessary in public interest, any Group A and B employee, who has joined service before the age of 35 and has crossed the age of 50. 

Under the rules, a C Group government servant, who has crossed the age of 55 can be retired prematurely but action can be taken only if the official is suspected to be corrupt or ineffective. 

Group A comprise officers of All India Services like IAS, IPS, Indian Forest Service, IRS, while Group B consists of non-gazetted officers and Group C clerical and ministerial staff. 

However, action can be taken only against such officers whose annual increment have stood frozen for a few years and have not got promotion in preceding five years. 

The meeting emphasised rotation of officers on sensitive and non-sensitive posts and their review and screening under FR 56(J). 

The DoPT has been asked to monitor implementation and obtain compliance from all ministries in this regard. 

"As this activity is to be completed in a time bound manner, it is requested that priority attention may be paid to it and inputs sent to the internal vigilance section at the very earliest," the notice, sent to all ministries, said.
