2)GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS –
REVISION OF WAGES AND SERVICE CONDITIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN 7TH
CPC
WE DON’T WANT SEPARATE
COMMITTEE
JOIN INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 2015 MAY 6TH
In the discussion held on 05.02.2015 with the Postal Joint
Council of Action (NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) and NUGDS), Secretary,
Department of Posts has assured that the demand for inclusion of GDS under 7th
CPC will again be referred to the Government by the Postal Board. If all the
Postal Federations and Unions/Associations join together and go for an
indefinite strike from May 6th as decided by the PJCA, Government
will be compelled to include GDS under 7th CPC.
But the
recognised GDS Union is demanding separate committee and conducting separate strike,
breaking the unity of five lakhs Postal employees. Separate strike for a separate
committee will weaken the demand for grant of civil servant status to GDS and
will help the Government only.
When NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS (NFPE), NUGDS, Confederation of
Central Government Employees & Workers, JCM National Council staff side
including Railways & Defence are demanding inclusion of GDS under 7th
CPC, why recognised GDS Union alone is demanding separate committee and
conducting separate strike. Gramin Dak Sevaks should understand the hidden
agenda of the recognised GDS union and defeat the demand for separate Committee.
All Gramin Dak Sevaks are requested to join the joint
indefinite strike of Postal Joint Council of Action (NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) & NUGDS) from 2015 May 6th. Our demand is inclusion of
GDS in 7th CPC and grant of civil servant status. We don’t want a separate
committee..

Global trade: keeping the customer top of mind
05.02.2015
- As consumer and business habits change and global e-commerce sends more goods
through the post, Posts must provide customers with services they actually need
instead of services Posts “think” they need.
Simplifying international services
must go hand in hand with developing e-commerce solutions
“We have to look at our complex
range of services through the customer’s eyes and be prepared to review and
change these to meet the ever-increasing marketplace changes and requirements,”
said Chris Powell, from Great Britain’s Royal Mail, chair of the UPU’s products
strategy and integration group.
The group recently met at UPU
headquarters ahead of the upcoming session of the Postal Operations Council
(POC) this April to review progress and discuss next steps.
Simplifying the UPU’s range of
global services is an important activity during the UPU’s current work cycle.
It is essential to keeping the network sustainable, said Powell, especially as
the organization deploys its new e-commerce programme, ECOMPRO.
Designed to foster confidence in
global online purchases and deliveries, ECOMPRO provides the building blocks
Posts need to provide solutions to many of today’s e-commerce challenges in
areas of delivery, customs processing, merchandise returns, quality of service
and payments, among others.
In late 2014, the UPU made progress
in creating services customers and e-tailers want when the POC adopted
specifications for a new optional parcel service covering goods up to 30 kg and
offering track-and-trace features. Efforts are now being focused on making this
service operational by January 2016, with pilot projects expected to start by
July. Proposals for a remuneration model and delivery standards linked to the
new service will also be presented at the upcoming POC session.
Status
quo risky
For Terry Dunn, co-chair of the POC’s committee dealing with physical services, modernizing, integrating and ensuring the viability and sustainability of the UPU’s physical product portfolio must be done in parallel to the development of regulations to foster global e-commerce.
“The world is changing. Are we
(postal services)? The status quo carries risks,” he said, recalling that
satisfying customers’ changing needs was central to the UPU’s mission of
stimulating “the lasting development of efficient and accessible universal
postal services.”
“There is a fundamental change in
how people and businesses are transacting. How they are using postal products
is also changing and what they expect from postal services is changing as
well,” he added.
The POC is set to meet from 15 April
to 1 May, right after the UPU’s World Strategy Conference in Geneva.

Grievances & Pension,
Department of Personnel &
Training,
New Delhi.
Dear Sir,
Ref: Your letter No.
3/1/2015-JCA dated January 2015
The views expressed in your letter
under reference are well taken. The JCM Scheme was introduced in 1966 with
the provision of holding periodical meetings to resolve the
grievances of Central Govt. employees. But the Scheme has been kept in
suspension in animation for the last ordinary meeting of NC/JCM was
held on. 15.5.2010. Standing Committee much less
the Anomaly Committee is no substitution
to ordinary meeting. Since beginning of theintroduction of the
Scheme the meeting of the Standing Committee of NC/JCM was used to be held
one/two days earlier to the ordinary meeting to iron out the progress
of the outstanding items of ordinary meeting and the same procedure
continued for years together. Unfortunately, of late, this procedure has been
given good by.
The removal of anomaly of
CPCs are not only the issues. The grievances of Central Govt. employees are
piling up, the Govt. has been taking unilateral decisions in detriment
for the interest of the Central Govt. employees. There is no attempts
on the part of the Govt. to discuss those issues by
holding ordinary meeting of the NC/JCM, causing serious resentment
and anger amongst Central Govt. employees.
Vide this office letter under
reference we have submitted the issues which are of serious consequences in
the service life of Central Govt. employees.
You will appreciate that Staff Side
NC/JCM can not remain a silent spectator when grievances are not resolved and
the Govt. continue to take unilateral decisions in detriment to the
interest of Central Govt. employees.
However, meeting with Cabinet
Secretary in Chair may be held to discuss the issues already submitted for
arriving at a logical conclusion on the issues.
Yours
faithfully,

Scheme is maintained.

4)Traveling Allowance for Attendant accompanying Government Servant during tour / training – Finance Ministry issues Orders for grant of TA
No. 19030/3/2013-E.IV
Government of India
Ministry of Finance
Department
of Expenditure
North Block, New Delhi.
Dated the 17th February,
2015.
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject- Travelling Allowance in respect
of Attendant / Escort for accompanying a Government Servant with
Disabilities on travel during tour/training etc.
References have been received in the Ministry of Finance,
Department of Expenditure seeking provision in the
Rules/instructions regulating Travelling Allowance, in order to allow grant of
Travelling Allowance to the Government servant with Disabilities in respect of
an Attendant/Escort accompanying such a Government servant with
Disabilities during travel while on tour/training, etc. At present there are no
provisions in the Travelling Allowance rules which allows Government servants
to claim Travelling Allowance in respect of Attendant/Escort accompanying
them on tour/ training, etc. where such Government servants require the
assistance of an Attendant/Escort for travel.
2. The matter has been considered and it has now been decided
to allow Travelling Allowance in respect of the Attendant/Escort, for
accompanying a Government servant with Disabilities during travel while on
tour/training, etc., to be claimed by the Government servant with Disabilities.
The admissibility of Travelling Allowance, in respect of
the Attendant/Escort accompanying a Government servant with Disabilities,
would be subject to the following conditions:-
(a) Ordinarily, the field offices/local administrative
offices at the touring station, which the Government servant with Disabilities
is required to visit on tour or training institutes where the Government
servant with Disabilities is required to undergo training, would be required to
provide an Attendant/Escort, from the existing pool of staff/persons
employed, from the time the Government servant with Disabilities arrives at the
destination and till such time the Government servant with Disabilities departs
from that destination back to his headquarter station/place from where the
Government servant with Disabilities had initially proceeded to that
destination. During travel abroad, either on foreign tour/training, the Indian
Missions/Posts (Embassy of India) at the country of visit would be
required to.provide an Attendant/Escort, from the existing pool of
staff/persons ,employed, during the period of stay of the Government servant
with Disabilities in that country.
(b) Only when field offices/local administrative offices at
the touring station or training institutes or Indian Missions/Posts at the
country of visit, as the case may be, officially express their inability
to provide an Attendant/Escort to the visiting Government servant with
Disabilities, would the claim of Travelling Allowance in respect
of Attendant/Escort accompanying the Government servant with Disabilities
arise. In such cases, fare for travel of Attendant/Escort accompanying
Government servant with Disabilities would be reimbursed. While for travel by
air, Airlines-are expected to provide assistance to Government servant with
Disabilities during travel as per Airlines policies, a Government servant with
Disabilities however, can take along his personal Attendant/Escort for
travel by Indian Railways for assistance during journey and
boarding/de-boarding, even when an Attendant/Escort at destination station
is provided officially.
(c) In all cases, Government servant with Disabilities are
required to purchase travel tickets for self and Attendant/Escort at
concessional rates, if any, offered by Railways/Airlines.
(d) The facility of Travelling Allowance for
the Attendant/Escort would only be admissible to those
Government servants with Disabilities, wherein it is certified by the competent
Medical Authority that such a person compulsorily requires assistance of
another person for travel. Under this clause, necessary certificate is to be
obtained from the Head of Department of a Government Civil Hospital designated
for the type/form of disability of the Government servant. Based on the
certificate from competent Medical Authority, Heads of Departments would have
to further satisfy the need for an Attendant/Escort during travel of the
Government servant, before allowing the journey for the Attendant/Escort.
(e) Subject to clause (d) above, Travelling Allowance for
the Attendant/Escort would be admissible to the Government
servant with Disabilities while on tour (domestic or foreign). However, the
authority deputing such a Government servant with Disabilities on tour would
have to record in writing that the tour is considered necessary in the
discharge of duties and responsibilities assigned to the Government servant
with Disabilities.
(f) Subject to clause (d) above, Travelling Allowance for
the Attendant/Escort would also be admissible to the Government
servant with Disabilities when deputed on training provided it is recorded by
the authority competent to depute such officials on training that such training
is a mandatory training for career progression or induction training
for probationers.
(g) Travelling Allowance consists of two parts; Mileage
Allowance and Daily Allowance. No Daily Allowance would
be admissible to the Attendant/Escort of the Government servant
with Disabilities. Mileage Allowance would be admissible to
the Attendant/Escort at the same rate and in the same class of
accommodation, as the Government servant with Disabilities is entitled to under
the Revised Travelling Allowance Rules, read with travel restrictions imposed
under austerity measures/economy instructions, issued from time to time by the
Government. However, in case of travel by any of the modes of conveyance by
road, as prescribed under the Travelling Allowance rules, no separate mileage
allowance would be admissible to the Government servant with
Disabilities, in respect of the Attendant/Escort, except where the travel
is by public bus.
(h) For commuting between residence to office and
back, certain categories of Government servants with Disabilities are eligible
for Transport Allowance at double the normal rates. As no Travelling Allowance
is admissible to. Government servants for training at headquarter
station, consequently, no claim of Travelling Allowance to
the Attendant/Escort of the Government servant with Disabilities would
be admissible for training at headquarter station.
3. In so far as persons serving in the Indian Audit and
Accounts Department are concerned, these orders issue in consultation with the
Comptroller & Auditor General of India.
