Report of 7 CPC: A comparative study for POSTMASTER CADRE

It is disappointing that Postmaster Grade-I has not been upgraded to 4200, which was expected. It has dissatisfied us as well as our fellow brothers. When we represented our matter at the office of the 7 CPC, they were asking us as to whether any provision for direct recruitment in our Recruitment Rules. But there is no such provision in our recruitment rules. At that very moment we didn't have any scope to show anything in our favour except comparison with IPOs and LSG upto 4 CPC which is now outdated glory.

Provision for direct recruitment is the main reason / criteria of higher pay for PAs from 3200 (as per then assumption of Gr-C unions) to Rs 4000 in 5 CPC and IPOs (5500) in 5 CPC & 4600 in  7 CPC. They fought repeated legal battles in CAT for 4600 and won. So we should not be so sentimental ignoring the fact behind non-upgradation of Gr-I Postmasters,

Income Tax department developing mobile app for filing returns

NEW DELHI: Income Tax department is developing a mobile app which can be used by users for filing their tax returns, a top finance ministry official said today.

"We are developing a mobile app which can be used by users for filing their income tax returns. There are some security related issues, which we will resolve soon," Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairperson Anita Kapoor said today after inaugurating 'Taxpayers' Lounge' at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) here.

Retiring officers to write note on their achievements

In another new initiative “Anubhav”, inspired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions has advised officers retiring within a period of six months to leave behind a note or write-up on their achievements as well as outstanding work done by them which could have, according to them, contributed to efficient functioning of the government or any innovation introduced by them which could have led to improvement in work culture.

Disclosing this here today, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that “Anubhav” will serve as a platform for retiring employees to showcase achievements made by them during their service tenure. While the retiring employees can look back with satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment, the written account left by them could serve as a vital database for future improvement, he added.

Ministry of Personnel has, through a circular dated November 5, 2015, sought to reiterate and remind all the Ministries and Departments to follow up this initiative seriously. The Link to “Anubhav” Portal is available on the homepage of Department’s website at http://persmin.nic.in → DoP&T → Anubhav, he informed and added that initially this facility is available only to retiring Central Government employees including Central Secretariat Service (CSS) and Central Secretariat Stenographers Services (CSSS) officials.

Earlier, on the advice of Prime Minister, Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled that DoPT had also introduced a new practice of senior IAS officers who had put in nearly 25 to 30 years of service to revisit the place of their first posting as District Collectors or SDMs and furnish feedback about the change over the years as visualized by them. The DoPT and the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DAR&PG) are infact the Research & Development (R&D) organs of the government and not merely responsible for carrying out only transfers, promotions and empanelments. To this extent, he expressed satisfaction that during the last 17 months of the present government, a number of new reforms have been introduced with regard to recruitment in Services, Pension Department, IAS/Civil Services training and other areas.

Dr. Jitendra Singh complimented Union Secretary, DoPT, Shri Sanjay Kothari and Union Secretary, AR&PG, Shri Devendra Choudhary for their proactive approach which motivated the entire team of officers to carry forward the new initiatives.
