Resolutions on GDS Problem of STATUS

The 9^th All India conference in session at the historic place Sri Uddaneshwara Samudaya Bhavana, Sri Siddaganga math, Kyathasandra, Tumakuru, Dn. Karnataka discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement/improvement.  The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement

1.      Resolution on STATUS:- The Central Government is yet to consider the long pending demand of ED employees (Now GDS) for Grant of Status and pension, despite full justification viz, Supreme Court verdict calling Civil Servants, agreement during strike to appoint one man committee with a specific terms of reference of pension, recommendation of Justice Talwar Committee report, part time/casual labour getting status etc. The status of GDS is not even better than part time casual employees as the contingent employee will get status in case of combination of two posts.  But it is not so in case of GDS who have been performing combined duties.  A meagre allowance of Rs. 250/- is given to the BPM who take the extra burden of 3-5 hours for delivery/mail conveyance. The Central Government should be a model employer and in order to put an end to this kind of practice, the demand needs to be met with early.  Accordingly the name GDS should be changed to “Gramin Dak Karamchari or Rural Postal Employee”.

Resolutions on GDS Problems

          The 9^th All India conference in session at the historic place Sri Uddaneshwara Samudaya Bhavana, Sri Siddaganga math, Kyathasandra, Tumakuru, Dn. Karnataka discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement/improvement.  The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement:-

1.         Grant-eight hours work to all GDS.           All incentives will be abolished and the work will be included in the workload.

2.          HRA should be granted at par with regular employees and Grant GDS Children Education fee.

3.         Transport allowance should be granted to GDS who are working at urban and semi urban places at par with departmental employees.

4.         Promotions/Leave and other benefits:-

i.             Annual increase at par with regular employees, that is 3%.

ii.            Three promotions MACP to all GDS on completion of 10th, 20th, 30th year of their services shall be granted.

iii.           CL, EL etc. like the Departmental Employees should be given to the GDS.

iv.          The period of GDS service should be counted for pension and gratuity to the promotees.

v.            The date of superannuation of GDS should be the last working day of the month of retirement.

vi.          Gratuity should be as per Gratuity Act for GDS also. The present grant of sixty thousand for both Severance amount should be the minimum, that is whichever is more.

vii.         Group Insurance at par with regular employees at least minimum  Rs 10,00,000/-

  5.    Contributory New Pension Scheme parity with SDBS Scheme to GDS and Medical coverage:-

I. on Social Security, Pension, it is disappointing to see that no acceptance has been made for the contributory Pension Scheme although SDBS. This is a vital issue for us. Contributory pension at par with regular employees, as recommended by 7th CPC, may be granted to GDS Officials.

Monthly Service Discharge benefit(like Pension/NPS) to those not covered under SDBS:  A monthly regular income, a social security is to be assured to a section who have rendered service upto 65 years and the lump sum grant is never a scheme of Pension or NPS.  A minimum of Rs. 4500/- in lieu of Severence allowance be assured to those retired/retiring from service on 1.1.2006 to 1.1.2016

II. At least Rs. 2,00,000/- yearly medical coverage for serving and retired GDS employees.

                                                                                 Sd/-

30.08.2016 அன்று நடைபெற்ற நான்கு மாத பேட்டியில் விவாதிக்கப்பட்ட பிரச்சனைகளுக்கு இலாகாவின் பதில்

Department of Posts

O/o the Chief Postmaster General, T.N. Circle, Chennai 600 002

Minutes of the Four Monthly meeting held by the Chief PMG with All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union in the Conference Hall of the O/o the Chief Postmaster General on 30^th  Aug’16

The following were present:

Administration side S/Shri/Smt	Union side S/Shri
Dr. Charles Lobo, Chief PMG	A. Ismail, Circle Secretary
V. Murugaiyan, GM (PA & F)	C.K. Subramani, Circle Vice President
Sharda Sampath, PMG, WR
J.T. Venkateswarlu, PMG (M & BD)
A. Govindarajan, DPS (CCR)
A. Saravanan, DPS (HQ)

The following items were discussed:

 New Subjects:

 Subject No. 1: 

     Unjust recovery of TRCA from GDS Officials in Cuddalore, Vriddhachalam, Pudukkottai and Thanjavur Divisions:

      During the last Four monthly meeting held on 27^th Apr’16, the subject relating to Cuddalore, Vriddhachalam, Pudukkottai and Thanjavur Divisions were discussed and it was assured by the Chief PMG that all the 72 cases of the above said three Divisions will be reviewed by the PMG, Central Region and finalized early.  After arriving this discussion, this item was discussed with the PMG & DPS, Central Region in the Bi-monthly meeting held on 30^th May’16.  During this Bi-monthly meeting, the PMG was considerate to accept the demand of the Circle Union.  Whereas the DPS, Central Region was rather confusing or twisting the issue with his misleading argument and hence the recovery has not been stopped yet in all the said three Divisions. 

     Instead, similar recovery has been ordered in Thanjavur Division also.  This is nothing but an act of adding salt to the injury.  Therefore this Circle Union records deep resentment over the faulty decisions of the DPS, Central Region on this issue with a kind request to Chief PMG for stopping all such recoveries immediately in all the affected four Divisions in Central Region besides guarding against such recovery elsewhere in the Circle as well.

 Reply:

      PMG, Central Region is directed to review all these cases and take immediate action.

 Subject No. 2:

      Filling up of unfilled vacancies of Postman in Chennai City Region among the Circle level merit list:

      The result of Postman examination held in the year 2016 has been released during the month of Jun’16.  The result has been declared according to the merit list in Chennai City Region.  Even after the announcement of result there are about 44 vacancies still available in Chennai City Region.  It is requested that this remaining unfilled vacancies may be filled up immediately from among the merit list drawn up at Circle level since the examination was conducted throughout the whole Circle only.  If the remaining 44 vacancies in Chennai City Region are filled up from among the Circle level merit list it will enable the merited GDS candidates working elsewhere in the Circle to be promoted as Postman in this year itself.  Though this item was brought to the notice of the Chief PMG by this Circle Union through letter dated 01^st Jul’16, it appears that no action has been taken so far in this regard.  Therefore urgent action is requested on this problem. 

 Reply:

      PMG, CCR vide letter No.REP/5-2/PM Exam/15-16/CCR/Vol.III dated 08^th Aug’16 called for report from the Divisions, and options from Surplus qualified Candidates who has appeared for the Competitive Examination for GDS to the cadre of Postman/Mail Guard held on 17^th Apr’16 for the vacancies of 2015-16. 

     However, suggestions will be examined.

 Subject No. 3:

      Stopping of surety bond recovery:

      Advance recoveries are effected towards surety bond for every five years as a measure of one time action.  This is causing financial hardship to the GDS employees.  Hence it is requested that effecting of such lump sum recovery may be stopped and instead, the practice of furnishing security bonds in the form of NSC, POSB, TD etc. be  introduced duly pledged by the GDS employees since this will enable the GDS Officials to get their security amount after release of pledges soon after retirement or discharge.  At present the lump sum recovery effected for every 5 years in advance is not being returned to the GDS on any later date.  Hence, this suggestion of this Union may kindly be considered favourably. 

 Reply:

      As per Directorate’s letter NO.22-12/2001-GDS dated 17^th Sep’13, the security will be in the form of Fidelity Bond or NSC pledged to the Department in the name of the President of India.  If there are cases of non-release of security bond they may be taken up with Divisional Superintendent concerned.
