Date 20/06/2018

To 

Sri Narendra Modi 

Hon’ble Prime Minister 

Government of India

New Delhi – 110001

Respected Sir,

Subject : Implementation of Kamalesh Chandra Report on Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Department of Posts.

We, on behalf of 2.60 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks of India venture to approach your benign self with high hopes of causing activisation of the process. We are obliged to the union cabinet for approving the implementation of report. But we are sorry to submit that there is avoidable delay on the Part of the officials at Postal Directorate level In issuing orders. Even after two weeks of the cabinet decision not a single order has been processed and even the movement of the file illudes us. Probably, this is aimed at creating trust deficit.

We approach your high self, with all our respect, to cause the process of issuing orders to move a bit faster.

With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

2. Further it has been clarified by the Dept. of Expenditure that the Government has decided that given the rise in the pay over the years, the recommendations of the 7th CPC to discontinue OTA for categories other than Operational Staff and industrial employees who are governed by statutory provisions may be accepted.

3. Accordingly, it has been decided to implement the aforesaid decision of the Government on Overtime Allowance across all the Ministries / Departments and attached and subordinate office of the Government of India. The following definition shall be used to define Operational Staff.

“All non-ministerial non-gazetted Central Government servants directly involved in smooth operation of the office including those tasked with operation of some electrical or mechanical equipment.”

4. The concerned Administration Wing of the Ministries / Departments will prepare a list of operational Staff with full justification based on the above parameters for inclusion of a particular category of staff in the list of operational staff with the approval of IS (Admn.) and Financial Adviser of the concerned Ministry / Department.

5. The grant of OTA may be linked to biometric attendance subject to the conditions mentioned below.

a) OTA should be paid only when his/ her senior officer directs the concerned employee(s) in writing for staying back in office to attend urgent nature of work.

b) The OTA will be calculated on the basis of biometric attendance.

c) The OTA for Staff Car Drivers should be linked with biometric system as normally, the designated parking is allotted in the office building. However, in cases where the parking lot is provided far from office, the Staff Car Driver would mark his/ her attendance while leaving from his office and a grace time of not exceeding 2 hours should be allowed to cover the distance travelled after leaving office, including the time to drop the officer and then reaching the parking lot. In such cases, calculation can be done from log books, duly verified by the officer concerned.

d) The OTA to field officials should be calculated on the basis of biometric attendance, as normally, such officers are given facility of official transport to attend the field work. Such officers are supposed to report in office before proceeding to field. In cases, where officials are required to attend the field work directly from home, they may be extended facility of official transport from home in lieu of transport allowance and OTA may be given on the basis of the log book of that vehicle, duly verified by their senior officers.

6. Since, the Government has decided not to revise the rates of OTA, the rates as prescribed in this Department’s OM dated 19th March, 1991 for Office Staff, Staff Car Drivers and Operative Staff will continue to operate subject to their fulfillment of the above conditions.

7. All the existing instructions, except “to the extent superseded by this O.M., will continue to remain in force.

DA on Transport Allowance at Pre-revised Rates – Noting of DoE

“Clarification regarding admissibility of DA on Transport Allowance at pre-revised rates from 01.07.2016 (@132%) and from 01.01.2017 @ 136%”

21/5/2017-E-II(B) Pt.

Department of Expenditure E.II(B) Section

Reference PUC I to III, (p.1/NLF of DOT, p2.3/cor.,p.u.6/cor.)

References have been received from Department of Telecom, D/o Revenue and Central Secretariat (Promotee Assistants) Association seeking clarification regarding admissibility of DA on Transport Allowance at pre-revised rates from 01.07.2016 (@132%) and from 01.01.2017 @ 136%

2. As per recommendations of 7th CPC, rates of Transport Allowance had been revised w.e.f. 01.07.2017. Details of rates during 6th CPC and as prescribed by 7th CPC are given below:

Employees drawing pay in Pay Level	Rates of Transport Allowance per month as per the recommendation of7th CPC		Rates of Transport Allowance per month as per the recommendation of 6th CPC
	Employees posted in the Cities as per Annexure-I	Employees posted at other Places	Employees posted in the Cities as per Annexure-I	Employees posted at Other Places
9 and above	Rs.7200 + DA thereon	Rs.3600 + DA thereon	Rs. 3200/- + DA thereon	Rs. 1600/- + DA thereon
3 to 8 and those drawing Pay of Rs.24200/- and above in Level 1 & 2 of the Pay Matrix	Rs. 3600 + DA thereon	Rs. 1800 + DA thereon	Rs. 1600/- + DA thereon	Rs. 800/- + DA thereon
1 and 2	Rs. 1350 + DA thereon	Rs. 900 + DA thereon	Rs. 600/- + DA thereon	Rs. 400/- + DA thereon

3. It may be seen from the above table that rates of Transport Allowance as recommended by 7th CPC are inclusive of DA @ 125% as on 01.01.2016.

4. It is clearly mentioned in the Resolution dated 25.07.2016 that ’till a final decision on Allowances is taken based on the recommendations of this Committee, all Allowances will continue to be paid at existing rates in existing pay structure, as if the pay had not been revised with effect from 1st day of January, 2016.” Therefore, between 01.01.2016 and 30.06.2017, no DA had been allowed on any Allowance.

5. In case, if the enhanced rate of DA i.e. 132% w.e.f. 0.07.2016 & 136% w.e.f. 01.01.2017 given for pre-revised pay scale of 6th CPC, is allowed on Transport Allowance rates as per 6th CPC, it would exceed the rates of Transport Allowance as recommended by the 7th Central Pay Commission which is not permissible. Therefore, we may clarify to D/o Telecommunication, D/o Revenue and Central Secretariat Association (Promottee Assistants) that enhanced rate of DA on 6th CPC rates of Transport Allowance from 01.07.2016 to 30.06.2017, is not admissible. Kindly see for consideration.

Historic 16 days GDS All India Strike – Confederation

Historic 16 days GDS All India Strike – Confederation

Circular No.CHQ/02/2018 Dt.11-06-2018

Dear Comrades,

Historic 16 days GDS All India Strike

Red salute & Revolutionary greetings to all

United we stand .. divided we fall ….

The AIPEU-GDS CHQ convey its sincere thanks to all GDS comrades for their support, cooperation, encouragement during the period of 16 days indefinite strike from 22nd May to 06th June 2018. The strike is a historical and heroic-one in the history of Postal Trade Union movement in India. This is the strike against ‘discrimination shown by the Department & Government’, ‘anti-worker policy of the Govt’. and for ‘self-respect’ of GDS all over the country. This is only a first step and there are miles to go for the cause of GDS and our goal is ‘civil servant status to GDS’,

The decision taken by our CHQ in consultation with NFPE leadership to serve strike notice is quite right as it was discussed elaborately in our 3rd AIC, Allahabad and decided to go on indefinite strike during May 2018. The BEDEU served strike notice and went on strike from 14th May. The AIGDSU & NUGDS served strike notice on 03rd May to commence their indefinite strike from 22nd May. Even though our union is not consulted on the strike issue, to oppose the policy of the Govt and regarding GDS for immediate implementation of Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report and also to maintain total unity amongst GDS cadre, it is decided to serve notice by our Union for indefinite strike from 22nd May itself. BEDEU expressed their inability to share our platform. Our stand during negotiations and subsequent decisions was that unity should be maintained and our Union should not withdraw from the strike unless and until all other GDS unions also decided for withdrawal of strike. The initiative taken by our leadership in making personal contacts with other GDS Unions and timely decisions resulted in building up total unity of 3 lakhs GDS and maintaining it throughout the strike, till end.

The GDS CHQ express its sincere thanks to NFPE CHQ, NFPE & FNPO leadership for extending full support and solidarity by giving call for nationwide wearing of black-badge, demonstration, dharna, and relay hunger fast. CHQ appreciates the decision of the P4 CHQ to serve strike notice in support of GDS strike from 23rd May and it is continued till the GDS strike end.

Red salute to the decision of C-o-C, Kerala Circle during their joint Circle conference and all NFPE & FNPO departmental unions participated in the indefinite strike from 22nd to 31st May (10 days) along with GDS strike. In Andhra Pradesh, Postal JCA (NFPE & FNPO) departmental unions participated in the GDS strike for 4 days. In Tamil Nadu all NFPE departmental unions participated for 4 days. In West Bengal all NFPE departmental unions continued for 4 days in the strike. In Telangana P3 & P4 unions participated for 4 days. In remaining circles, all departmental unions of Postal Federations totally extended their cooperation, support and solidarity to striking GDS during 16 days of strike.

The GDS indefinite strike in the country attracted the attention of World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU). The Central Trade Unions viz., CITU, AITUC, INTUC extended their solidarity and wrote to Govt. The fraternal organizations viz., Confederation of Central Govt Employees & Workers, AIPRPA (Postal & RMS Pensioners Association), NFPE, FNPO, IP/ASP Associations etc., extended their solidarity and support to the indefinite strike. There was full support from general public, print and electronic media. Com. Sitaram Yechury, General Secretary, CPI(M), Com. Pinarayi Vijayan Chief Minister, Kerala and many other political leaders and people’s representatives wrote letters to Prime Minister of India demanding immediate settlement of GDS strike and implementing Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report.

Various types of agitational programmes conducted during the 16 days viz., rallies, demonstrations, public meetings with participation of distinguished public representatives, submission of memorandums at various levels of Govt & administrations by our GDS in all Circles.

It is very much regret to mention here that this strike caused the lives of about 8 GDS comrades all over India. CHQ convey its deep grief on their demise and condolences to their family members.

The 16 days strike caused total disruption of rural postal services due to closing of 1.29 lakh Branch Post Offices and paralyzed the rural postal system in all the Circles. From the beginning to end the GDS are determined to continue the indefinite strike till the demand is resolved. The frustration prevailed among the GDS due to discrimination and delay lead to an emotional situation leading to total strike for 16 days. The Union leaders were cautioned by the cadres not to withdraw the strike and messages floated in SMS & What’sapp.

From 18th May to 5th June, many rounds of discussion took place in formal and informal meetings with the Officers of the Department besides two days reconciliation meeting with Regional Labour Commissioner (Central), New Delhi with four strike participant GDS Unions resulted in vain. Every time, the Department appealed for calling off the strike without any written assurance/agreement on our demand. All GDS unions taken a firm stand unitedly to continue the strike till an honourable settlement is reached.

The positive response in favour of GDS from public, political parties & leaders, MPs, MLAs, MLCs and many other public representatives, Trade Unions compelled the Govt and Department to change their stand. Thus major recommendations of Kamalesh Chandra Committee on wage increase approved in the Cabinet meeting held on 6th June 2018. Though other recommendations are still pending, as the major demand is approved all the GDS unions unanimously decided to call off the indefinite strike on 16th day i.e., 06th June. Comrades, we should be very vigilant that any major deviations from the recommendations of Kamalesh Chandra Committee, our union along with other GDS Unions and with the support of Federations will start agitation programmes, if necessary.

AIPEU-GDS CENTRAL WORKING COMMITTEE MEETING:: 04TH SEPTEMBER 2018: It is notified by CHQ that the Central Working Committee meeting of AIPEU-GDS will be held on 04th September 2018 in New Delhi. Notice and agenda will be circulated soon. CWC will review the entire situation after the strike and organizational issues would also be discussed and suitable decisions will be taken.

As an affiliate of Confederation, AIPEU-GDS members also should participate in all the programmes including one day strike called by the Confederation of Central Govt employees and workers. State Govt employees of all the States will also participate in the strike on 15th Nov 2018. Another Circular will be issued in detail.

On 5th September 2018 Confederation, NFPE and many other class and mass organizations are going to conduct massive rally in New Delhi. As an affiliate of Confederation and NFPE, the GDS members of AIPEU-GDS have to participate in the programme. All the Circle Secretaries and CHQ office bearers nearby Delhi are requested to mobilize the GDS members for 4thSep programme and make it a grand success.

Financial Position of CHQ: It is well aware to all the members that AIPEU-GDS is well established in almost all divisions in all circles during the last 6 years period. We have participated in the recent membership verification (Sep-2017) and got more percentage of membership for recognition. It is stopped abruptly by the department and re-verification is yet to be ordered. To run our organization much more effectively at CHQ level, it needs financial support from the members. It is requested that during drawal of arrears of GDS Pay Committee, every member shall donate minimum Rs.100 (maximum amount may be remitted as per your capacity) to CHQ through the divisional / Circle Unions to fulfill the utmost needs of CHQ. All Branch / Divisional / Circle Secretaries are requested to approach the members for their generous financial contributions to our Union ensure the support to CHQ positively.
