Proposed future of the DOP as projected by AIAPC and handed over to the Directorate

Tremendous Activities of TeamAIAPC at the Directorate during 07/12/2015 & 08/12/2005

This is for favour of information of all of our friends in Postmaster Cadre that in spite of being an un-recognized association AIAPC not only entered in the office of the 7th Central Pay Commission but also submitted its Memorandum. All of you may have noticed that no any unions / associations found their place in the report of the 7th CPC excepting IP Association who is going to get their demand fulfilled after a long battle for 15 years (approx), but the 7th CPC has given a ‘DISTINCT EMPHASIS’ on the demand of our cadre and recommended the following in its report submitted to the Hon’ble Minister of Finance:

“Accordingly the Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the posts of Senior Post Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master Gr.III through seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post Masters’ cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted to appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent of the Senior Postmasters’ posts”.

MEETING with Department To Upgrade the Recmondations of 7th C.P.C.

Dear Friends,




As per the programme ,Today in Dak Bhawan there was an Important Meeting took place to discuss the impacts of Recomondations of 7th CPC.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SECRETARY(POSTS) AND ENTIRE POSTAL SERVICE BOARD SHOWED THEIR POSITIVENESS AND AGREED TO TAKE-UP THE MATTER WITH MINISTERY TO UPGRADE THE GP OF POSTMASTER CADRE AS WELL AS SR. POST MASTER LIKE GROUP'B'

THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE DISCUSSED POSITIVELY IN THE MEETING:----


With reference to 7th CPC report, this is to bring to your kind notice that 7th CPC has ignored
completely the newly created Postmaster Cadre and LSG/HSG supervisory structure in operative 
 side. It is to intimate that IPO and LSG cadre official were in the same pay structure during the 4th 
 
CPC. Though the recruitment procedure changed to one cadre the duties and responsibilities of 
 
Postmaster/Supervisor have enormously increased with introduction of computerisation in the post 
 
offices. It is felt by the cadre that neither department, nor CPC has taken any consideration for the 
 
changes being made in the department.

Though the department has agreed for cadre restructuring after the 6th CPC, the
recommendations agreed and approved by unions/associations have remained in liquid state till
date and no action has been initiated in this direction before 7th CPC, neither the department, nor 
 7th CPC has recommended any revision of pay structure for Postmaster Cadre/LSG-HSG
Supervisors.


The 7th CPC has recommended 5400 grade pay to Group B cadre and forgot to note
that the Sr. Postmaster also belongs to Group B and his/her grade pay also must be fixed at
5400 instead of 4800.

Hike and Effect

Pay commission recommendations aren’t inflationary. But the fiscal deficit targets may prove unrealistic.


The Seventh Central Pay Commission has recommended an overall increase of Rs 1.02 lakh crore at a growth rate of 23.55 per cent in pay, allowances, and pension (PAP) for Central government employees. More specifically, the increase is 16 per cent in pay, 63 per cent in allowances and 24 per cent in pensions. This, as per the commission’s calculations, will lead to an increase in the salary bill by about 0.65 per cent of GDP. First, there should be two corrections. One, the increase in the salary bill should be 0.63 per cent of GDP. Two, the increase in the estimated share of the PAP in total revenue expenditure should be 3.81 per cent, as against 4.25 per cent suggested in the commission’s report. These recommendations will benefit about 1.4 crore government employees with effect from January 2016 and are expected to have a significant impact on the overall macroeconomic parameters, such as the GDP, fiscal deficit, as well as inflation.

FLASH NEWS !!!!

Be cautious while opening SSA accounts - Finacle software wont check the age

COMPARISON OF PAY DETERMINATION BEFORE AND AFTER 7TH PAY COMMISSION

The Shocking fact of Pay hike recommended by 7th Pay Commission
The Pay hike recommended by 7th Pay Commssion has been discribed as Bonanza by Media
  • Pay commission said 14.29 % Hike in Pay is recommended, Media said central government employees will get 23.55% hike in salary including allowances.
  • we will find out the real fact about the so called Bonanza..!
  • whether the Media claims are true or not through a simple calculation…!
The strength of Group C employees in Central Government is 85%. So we must know what the Pay Hike is recommended for them actually.

AIAPC has written to the D G Posts requesting to take up the matter of upgradation of pay of Postmaster Gr-I, II , III and Sr Postmaster



APPEAL AND PARA WISE REPLY TO THE AGGRIVED PM-II OFFICIAL SHRI.M.MUTHUKRISHNAN

Sir,


 Sub:  Postmaster Cadre-Disappointing and Retrograde Recommendations of 7th CPC-reg     
 Ref:   7th CPC report submitted to Govt.of India on 19th instant


    It is brought to the notice of all our Postmaster Friends, that all of us feel shocked and ashamed of our Postmaster Cadre and get frustrated with 7th CPC report for not giving due recognition to front runners(Postmasters) of the Postal Department.


As far as our PM cadre is concerned,the following points are put forward for deep analysis and also for self appraisal of our own cadre at present to march in a right direction.

1. It is pathetic to note that, Either Our Department or 7th CPC has recognized the dignity of our PM Cadre and not given hike in Pay& Allowances of Postmasters, an important Cadre in Department of Posts.

2. We have requested to permit our Cadre staff to sit for LDCE of Postal Service Group "B" but permitted only for LDCE for Senior PostMaster.

3. It is quite unfortunate to witness that, the variation in Pay Scale between LSG/PM Grade I and an IP is going on increasing from 5th CPC to 7th CPC though both scales were identical in earlier 4th CPC.

4. The Yard- Stick for conducting both  IP exam and PM Grade I exam are not different (  almost the same) but  step mother treatment is given to PM cadre staff in granting identical Pay Scale.  Why this difference in Pay and Allowances to our Cadre Employees?  Where we have to go for making an appeal for this disparity?


5. 7th CPC report recommend higher Grade Pay to Employees belonging to IP cadre as detailed below. There are some ambiguity in Pay scales.
  
     Inspector-Post :                Rs.4600/ ( from the present GP of Rs.4200/)
     Assistant Superintendent:  Rs.4800/ ( from the present GP of Rs.4600/)
     Superintendent (Posts) :    Rs.5400/ ( from the present GP of Rs.4800/)

    Here the new status of GP of Class "A" Officers ( SSPOs, etc) is not known. whether the present GP Rs.5400/ will continue or not?. Similarly the Post of Senior Postmaster comes under classification of Group "B" Gazetted category and what is the new Grade Pay of this Senior Postmaster Cadre? whether Rs.5400/ or the existing GP of Rs.4800/. There is no clear demarcation to this effect in the 7th CPC report.

6. The only Recommendation of permitting our Cadre Officers to Senior PM examination is not a great boon for us, since the promotional chances in PM cadre is remote for want of vacancies or no of Posts. (PM GradeI-2097,GrII-511,GradeIII-495 & Senior PM -116)

7. Postmaster cadre Officers are treated equally on par with general line Officials and not duly recognized or not given importance at all levels. So PM Cadre is surely a Dying cadre and may be disposed off and all Postmasters may be reverted back to their original seniority in General line.

8. Hence it is our prime duty now to focus our issue at appropriate level for up gradation of Pay, since no other Postal trade union will raise voice for us.

9. If status quo is maintained even after repeated requests and interviews at suitable level, it will be better to submit mass declination letters to our supreme authority to wind up this victimized cadre.

10. Our All India Association ( AIAPC) is requested to take necessary steps on war footing basis to over come these injustice at appropriate level ( Parliamentary Committee etc.)

11.Otherwise there is no other way for our Association, except to struggle and fight legally to get the Identical scale of Pay for PM Grade I with an IP. 


                                                        AIAPC Zindabad.     
                    
 With Thanks and regards,

Dear Shri.M.Muthukrishnan ji,

                    First of all AIAPC-TN is sincerely thanking you since you are one among the sincere follower of the AIAPC and you attended almost all the meetings of AIAPC-TN.

Goodbye, Wi-Fi! Li-Fi Just Got Tested And It's 100 Times Faster!

Things are going to get very interesting in the coming months. The way we access internet can completely change forever. Well, that's what scientists are telling us anyway. Remember this word - 'Li-Fi'; it's going to be used very often soon enough. What is it you ask? Li-Fi is a wireless technology that transmits high-speed (insanely high-speed) data using visible light communication, or VLC. So imagine switching on a bulb in your room, and it'll not only be a source of light, but will also transmit wireless internet to your phones and other devices. Madness, I tell you.
