Sub: Grant of leave to the staff working under HSG I Postmaster.

Sir / Madam,

It is observed that HSG.I Postmaster is competent to grant only casual leave to the staff working under him/her. The applications for grant of other kind of leave to staff are forwarded by him/her to the Division office for approval. It has been brought to the notice of the Directorate that at times the said procedure takes time and  if such officials who do not have casual leave left in their accounts want to proceed on earned leave immediately to some unforeseen circumstances, they face problems in proceeding on leave at short notice.

2. The matter has been looked into. It has been decided by the competent authority in the Directorate that in such pressing circumstances, HSG I Postmasters while recommending earned leave may relieve the official of his duties in anticipation of grant of leave by the competent authority, provided :

I. The earned leave applied for by the individual is not for more than the period of three days.

II. No substitute is required in case the official proceeds on leave.

III. The leave may be recommended by the HSG I Postmaster by recording that it is being recommended subject to the availability of leave in the credit of the applicant.

IV. The official may be relieved after duly following the procedure of handing/taking over of the charge.

V. If later on the sanctioning authority finds that the official does not have the leave applied for to his credit he should obtain the revised application from the individual for the kind of leave he/she is entitled to at the earliest.

VI. If the official needs earned leave for more than three days or wants to extend the earned leave beyond three days he should apply for same well in advance so that it is sanctioned as per the existing procedure.

Yours faithfully,

                                                                                                                                   -Sd-

Mail vans to travel farther

In an effort aimed at improving delivery and reducing dependence on rail transport, the department of posts has started operating mail vans to places across the State.

Starting on a pilot basis, the department is now operating mail vans between Chennai and Madurai via Tiruchi, and between Chennai and Coimbatore via Salem. At present, nearly 75,000 mails and parcels, on an average, are processed and transported through trains every day. 

The department expects to save a minimum of two or three hours by operating the mail vans, and reduce the cost of transportation through the rail network by 50 per cent. “We plan to speed up delivery within the same postal region to the same day,” said Mervin Alexander, postmaster general (Chennai city region).

Central government employees waiting for Interim relief – CG Staff News

Mumbai bureau Venu Gopal Arya writes an article regarding Interim Relief, he said, the declaration by the government may be done during or before the budget session. We present his view here to our blog viewers for easy understanding…

Central government employees waiting for Seventh Pay commission and interim relief

Staff union making up pressure on the Seventh Pay commission

• Pay commission was formed in February 2014

• Workers waiting for Interim Relief

• Pay commission busy with the necessary process

• Conditions will be applicable from 01 January 2016

• More than 50 Lakh Central government employees will be benefitted

Even though the Seventh Pay commission was formed by the Manmohan Singh government before the advent of Election for the sake of a Political advantage, this was pleasant news for the Central Government Employees.

Soon after the formation, the Pay commission has also started meeting the relevant Employee Organisations. Meeting different organisations and obtaining their opinions are still in progress. The Pay commission has also visited various cities for this cause.

2014 – An Unforgettable Year for Central Government Employees..!

2014 was a year of expectations, disappointments, and trials and tribulations for Central Government Employees and Pensioners too.

About Central Govt Employees at a glance 2014 – This article brings you some important events and announcements…

Strike: The year began with a collective decision of all employees federations to go on a strike demanding, among other things, 50% DA merger, and date of effect of the 7th CPC. When it became clear that there was going to be a change of government at the Centre, the federations began to plan their moves in order to somehow convince the Congress Government to accept their demands. At last, the Confederation alone held protests on February 10 and 11. Other federations announced that they want to resolve the issue by holding talks and withdrew their strike plans. But the Central Government remained unmoved.

Postal life insurance limit hiked to Rs 50 lakh

New Delhi, December 25

To mark the Good Governance Day, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today announced that the limit of postal life insurance has been raised from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 50 lakh, besides launching one-month rental-free MTNL broadband and landline combo plans on new bookings.

The 21 schemes he announced also included support for international patent protection in electronics and an Internet-based real-time system to provide eServices in rural India.

December 25 is being celebrated across the country as Good Governance Day, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said was ushered in by the previous NDA regime led by Atal Bihar Vajpayee and is being carried out in this government. It also coincides with Vajpayee’s birthday.

“Good governance can be effectively achieved through the vision of Digital India of digital infrastructure as a utility to every citizen, governance and services on demand and digital empowerment of citizens,” Prasad said in his address.

In the last six months, the government has taken a number of landmark initiatives. Digital India programme is committed to taking the cause of good governance forward in letter and spirit, he added.

Key projects include time stamping of digital signature, Integrated Indian Languages Virtual Keyboard for Android, PARAM Shavak (Super computer in box solution), .bharat domain in Gujarati and Bangla, e-launch of Support International Patent Protection in Electronics & IT scheme (SIP-EIT).

Prasad also handed over disbursements under the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme(M-SIPS) and Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC) disbursement.

The Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY) also launched Gyansetu, which is an Internet-based real-time ICT system to provide eServices to the rural population and e-Governance Competency Framework (e-GCF).

Another launch was that of C-DOT’s solution MAX-NG, a cost-effective and smooth migration path to the Internet Protocol Multimedia Systems (IMS).

It will ensure a smooth transition from old telephone system to voice over Internet protocol and will enable consumers to enjoy voice, data and video services on existing landlines at affordable cost.

Telecom Secretary Rajesh Garg said the government has planned to cover about 55,669 villages as yet uncovered by mobile connectivity all over India in a phased manner by March 2019.

The focus is to reach remote areas like North-Eastern States, Himalayan States, Border States and Islands and more importantly the Left Wing Extremism affected areas in the country, he added.
