Article 1 - MYTHS AND FACTS OF CADRE RESTRUCTURE REGARDING PM CADRE dated 04.06.2016(Republished)

DEAR POSTMASTERS

              Cadre restructure order was released from the Directorate to all the circles on 27.05.2016 for the Group C cadre of Postal operative wing except RMS/SBCO/PM cadre. 

              Since nothing was mentioned about Postmaster cadre in the Cadre Restructure, there are so many myths are being circulated around all the corners of India about the Postmaster cadre restructure. To clarify the officials of Postmaster cadre official this post is published in Tamilnadu Blog.

Myth no 1

There is no Postmaster Cadre detail found in Cadre Restructure report. Hence no such proposal regarding to Postmaster Cadre.

Fact :

The data related to LSG/HSG II/HSG I/HSG I(NFG) posts before/after cadre restructure can be released one cadre by one cadre. Vide Para ‘F’ of Cadre restructure bilateral agreement with department and staff side dated 28.04.2014, Postmaster cadre related cadre restructure also would have been examined in the light of the same. That means once this cadre restructure is completed PM Cadre restructure will be done as per the same guidelines of Group 'C' Cadre.

"Allowance report to be submitted today"

Proving all earlier reports wrong, the committee for higher allowances for central Govt. employees yet to submit it's report.

Now NJCA Chairman Mr Shiv Gopal Mishra predicts the report to be submitted today. As today has been the last date of the extended tenure of the committee, he may have predicted this before media!

Here is the recent media report from India.com published on 21.02.2017

Directorate Letter No. 20-45/2016-SPB-II dated 18th Feb 2017 regarding clarification on Benchmark for Promotion.

IPPB to Send and Receive Money on the Basis of Aadhaar Number

Your 12-digit Aadhaar number could soon become your single-point payment address.

With the help of India Post Payment Bank (IPPB), over 112 crore Indians will be able to send and receive money only on the basis of the Aadhaar number; it won't matter whether it is linked to a bank account or not.

India Post Payment Bank CEO AP Singh told that currently, Aadhaar is not a payment address in itself, but the payments bank, which plans to start operations from September 2017, will change that. The bank, which hopes to cover at least 650 districts of the country in the initial stage, aims to “simplify and universalise” payments systems.

Bank Strike – Around 10 lakh Bank Employees will go on a day long strike on February 28.

Around 10 lakh bank employees will go on a day long bank strike on February 28. The strike call is to demand criminal action against wilful defaulters and reimbursement of cost of demonetisation to the banks.

“The government should reimburse the cost of demonetisation to banks. This cost and the business loss during the period of nearly two months will have a cascading effect on the balance sheets of the banks, and the brunt will be borne by the bank employees and officers alone,” All India Bank Employees’ Association General Secretary C H Venkatachalam said on Sunday.

Venkatachalam demanded criminal action against wilful defaulters of bank loans as, according to him, only that can reduce such irregularities in the banking industry.

7th Pay Commission: Committee of Secretaries might submit report on higher allowance on February 20

New Delhi, Feb 15: The ‘Committee on Allowances’ headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa, is likely to submit the report on higher allowances to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on February 20, reports Sen Times. The committee was appointed in July 2016 for 4 months and got an extension until February 22, 2017.

Ashok Lava’s committee had in October last year stated that his team was ready with its report. As per now, the central government employees are paid allowances according to the 6th Pay Commission recommendations until issuing of higher allowances notification. In October 2016, Ashok Lavasa had said, “We are ready to submit our report, whenever Finance Minister Arun Jaitley calls up”.
