New Pension System – It’s No Pension Scheme
New Delhi:- Discontent is simmering among the government employees and teachers over the Contributory Pension Scheme also called the National Pension Scheme that was launched in 2003 by the then NDA government. The united Andhra Pradesh government and later the Telangana State governments have also adopted the scheme.
The existing employees in 2003 did not react much as it did not impact them. But, as the government recruitments continued after 2004, the ranks of government employees denied the defined benefit pension and brought under this contributory pension scheme started to swell. They are realising its ill-effects on them. There are about 1.15 lakh such employees in Telangana and another 1.56 lakh in Andhra Pradesh, who are affected by the New Pension Scheme.

One more denial of natural justice to the Postmaster Cadre officials - PM Cadre officials are not eligible to appear in PSS Group B exams
Dear Postmasters,
During 2010-2011 Many officials are already completed 5 years LSG service and then only opted Postmaster Cadre.
Unfortunately all the PM Cadre officials are barred once again to appear in PSS Group B exams.
1/3 of LSG/HSG II/HSG I general line posts only carved out for Postmaster Grade I/II/III respectively. Origin cadre is allowed but the newly created carved out cadre is barred is definitely a denial of natural justice.
IP cadre may opt postmaster hierarchy Sr.PM Posts. LSG can write the PSS Group B posts exams and they also can opt Postmaster Cadre hierarchy Sr.PM posts. But Postmaster cadre officials cannot be appeared for any exams is definitely denying equal opportunities.
We are not against to IP cadre officials or General Line Supervisors. They are also our brothers and sisters. But discriminating only PM Cadre is wounding the PM Cadre officials.
So Dear members, be united. This is the time to throw the colors we are wearing at present. We have to come under one roof to fight back for this natural injustice and denial of equal opportunities.

Proposal was submitted and Circle administration is agreed that glaring anomaly will be arose as "One work two Pay" for HSG II and PM Grade I. Moreover PM cadre cannot be placed at par with LSG since LSGs (Single handed and Double handed SOs SPMs) promotion eligibility is 5 years PA service only where as PM cadre officials are recruited by 5 years PA service and in addition to that they have to clear the Limited Departmental competitive examination with merit.

What is the success of joining with AIAPS????
Because of the recognized forum of All India Association of Postal Supervisors, we have already taken the following cases too and pursuing continuously to get fruitful results. Think wise friends. If remaining Postmasters are also joined with AIAPS, we could reach even the sky.
1. Confirmation orders to the Postmaster Grade I and II - even after the lapses of 5 years confirmation order is yet to be given.
2. Circle gradation list is yet to be circulated for this year 2016. After 2012, 2014 circle gradation list of Postmaster Grade was not circulated.
3. Many officials are victimized by barring the promotion by mentioning the censure and currency period completed punishments while conducting DPCs
4. Induction training was not given to those joined in the PM Grade I posts during 2015.
5. Adhoc promotion to the posts of Postmaster Grade II

Postal Dept to recruit 55,000 gramin dak sevaks
The Departments of Posts plans to recruit around 55,000 Grameen Dak Sevaks through online mode in November, B.V Sudhakar, Secretary, Department of Posts, said.
Addressing a Press Conference here on Friday, Sudhakar informed that the software required for online recruitment is at the testing stage and the online method will ensure transparency in this recruitment.
Anomaly in pay fixation on MACP II
Eg. Employees getting MACP – 2 promotion on PA/SA cadre this year are fixed at the Basic pay of 50600/- . Whereas those will be promoted next year will be fixed with the Basic Pay of 47600/-. A single increment difference in service shows three increment differences in new pay matrix.
Those at Basic pay of 16990 by this 1st July, are with basic pay of 44100 , with two addition increments next year this will goes to 46800/- in 2800 grade pay and will be sit at the basic pay of 47600/- in 4200 column with a hike of 800/-.
The issue arises because of the grade pay differences with the multiplication factor in pay matrix table
Postmaster Cadre restructure query to team AIAPC
Dear Team AIAPC....
We should appreciate your efforts towards the concerns and emotions of the Postmaster cadre. But the information received from DTE is not true and not at all consoling too.
As a AIAPS team we also moved with directorate we already had received a positive reply. So We are in anguish towards the results of PM Cadre and very exact reason for delaying the PM cadre expressed by the Directorate is very pathetic.
Query of common postmasters and team AIAPS are produced below. Kindly keep the same too while moving towards this issue.

Postmasters and Team AIAPS

ADG, Estt-1(PE1)
Subject:
Cadre Restructuring of PM Cadre
|
Our team visited here basically for Cadre Restructuring of
PM Cadre The ADG Est-1 was on leave. During the discussion held at this
section, it has come to the notice that the CR process of RMS & SBCO is
going on.
TeamAIAPC also informed that already an internal meeting
was held at the Directorate regarding CR of remaining cadres. In this meeting
it was resolved that as PM Cadre has not yet completed its minimum service
for 5 yrs required for CR, hence the CR for PM Cadre could not preformed at
this time. An extract of DOPT’s instruction in this regard is reproduced
below:
Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre
management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional requirements
of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The
thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower projection and
recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to
enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms
of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once
every five years.
However, we have been assured that after completion of RMS
& SBCO etc., the CR of PM Cadre will be considered in favourable manner.
We provided all of our logics while discussion, but we was advised by the
concerned section that all of our anomaly must be re-submitted in proper
manner with all grievances at the end of December-2016 or starting of January
-2017.
|
1. If so, PM cadre was introduced during December 2010 itself.
Already 5 years 9 months are gone. There is no question of completion of 5
years.
2. If so in the discussions of Cadre restructure of
official and staff side PM cadre proposal was also discussed and we already
had a bilateral agreement to consider the PM Cadre proposal on the light of
the same at par with Group-C.
3. If so Group-C norm based LSG posts would be placed with G.P Rs.4200 but the same norm based LSG posts - PM cadre offices shall be kept with G.P Rs.2800/-.
If so Then same work but different discriminated pay to Postmasters. Isnt it?
Why these conflicts?
|
So Dear team AIAPC....
You have mentioned that 3 years was wasted by childish manner. If so you are also doing the same running towards court cases instead of functioning under a recognised forum. Already two years wasted by you too. For the past one year single hearing was taken place in the jodhpur court case.
Above all why not even interim orders hon'ble court was not pressed by your team? Court itself had ordered to not to decide anything about Postmaster cadre until the final outcome of that jodhpur court case in the membership verification process 2015. That order is itself not pressed by the team AIAPC. What is the purpose of court trials are being conducted by you?
