Government revamps jobs on compassionate ground for Gramin Dak Sevaks : Dependents of GDS to get benefit within 3 months

Dependents of GDS to get benefit within 3 months

Department of Posts has revamped the existing compassionate engagement scheme offered to the dependent family members of Gramin Dak Sevak. A GDS who dies in harness, the dependents of such GDS will benefit from a liberalized and time bound procedure for engagement on compassionate grounds. Henceforth, any death of a Gramin Dak Sevak while on engagement would be compensated by a compassionate engagement to a dependent family member irrespective of the circumstances or indigence. Upper age limit of the applicant could also be relaxed wherever found to be necessary. Thus the new scheme of compassionate engagement will provide greater relief to the members of the family of the deceased GDS who belong to weaker and poorer sections of the society and are thrown into penury and hardship.

The ambit of dependent family member has also been expanded to include:

• Married son living with parents and dependent for livelihood on the GDS on the date of death of the GDS
• Divorced daughter wholly dependent on the GDS at the time of death of the GDS
• Daughter in law of the deceased GDS who is wholly dependent on the GDS, if the only son of the GDS is pre deceased.
• This expansion of definition of family members aims to bring greater relief to women in our society who are subjected to difficult circumstances in the unfortunate event of demise of their spouse/parent.
• The present system of relative merit points to ascertain the degree of indigence has been dispensed with. Keeping in view the unique and distinct service conditions, socio economic aspects and to relieve the family from financial destitution, the time consuming process of consideration by Circle Relaxation Committee has been done away with. Henceforth, a request received for compassionate engagement would be considered and decided within three months from the date of receipt of the application.
• Further to ensure least displacement, it has been decided that to the extent possible, compassionate engagement would be offered to the dependent of the deceased GDS, to a GDS post near the place where the family of the deceased normally resides.

No. AIPCPCCWF/2017                                                                                             Dated - 11.04.2017

To,

Shri. B. V. Sudhakar

Secretary,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhawan, New Delhi – 110001

Sir,

Sub: -  Payment of arrears and revised wages from 01.01.2006 in respect of Postal Casual, Part time, contingent and daily-rated mazdoors.

1. Your kind intervention is requested to redress the following genuine grievances of the most exploited and low-paid poor casual labourers of Postal Department. They are mostly unorganized and marginalized and hence your goodself alone can do justice to them.

2. Department of Posts issued orders on 22.01.2015 (i.e.; two years back) for payment of revised wages to casual, Part-time, contingent and daily rated mazdoors working in the Postal department with effect from 01.01.2006, consequent on revision of minimum pay of Central Govt. employees by the Govt. as per the recommendations of 6thCPC.

3.      On receipt of the Directorate orders some Chief Postmaster General (Kerala, Andhra etc.) sought clarifications on two points. (1) who is a casual labour (2) to whom Directorate orders are applicable.

4.      Directorate issued detailed clarifications as follows:

Point No. – 1 – Who is causal Labour ?

Clarification vide Directorate order No. 45.24/88-SPB-I dated 17.05.2009 re0circulated in OM No. 2-53/2011-PCC dated 17.06.2016.

“It is hereby clarified that all daily wagers working in post offices or RMS offices or in Administrative offices or PSD’s/MMS under different designations (Mazdoors, casual labourers, contingent paid staff, daily wager, daily rated mazdoors, outsiders) are to be treated as casual labourers. Those casual labourers who are engaged for a period of eight (8) hours a day should be described as “full time casual labourers” and those who are engaged for a period less than eight (8) hours a day should be described as “part-time casual labourers”. All other designations should be discontinued”.

Point No. 2 – To whom Directorate orders dated 22.01.2015 are applicable.

Clarification – vide Directorate order No. 2-53/2011-P{CC dated 05.11.2015

“the spirit of this Directorate’s OM dated 22.01.2015 is to allow revised remuneration to such full time-part time casual labourers, who have physically worked or who continue to work as such in that capacity, with no ambiguity whatsoever.”

The above two clarificatory orders issued by Directorate set at rest all the doubts regarding payment of revised wages to Casual labourers w.e.f 01.01.2006.

5.      But, we regret to inform you that, evenafter a lapse of two years the above orders are not yet implemented in many circles and divisions and eligible revised wages and arrers are not yet paid to the poor casual labouerers.

Eg: (1) Tamilnadu Circle has not yet implemented the Directorate orders dated 22.01.2015.

(2) West Bengal Circle – the order is not yet implemented in the case of casual labourers and daily rated mazdoors working in the divisions of Kolkata Metropolitian city and some other divisions.

(3) Maharashtra Circle – Nagpur Region

(4) Kerala Circle – for divisions pending.

Our representatives have discussed the case with the Circle/Regional Authorities several times but the administration is totally negative and adamant.

6.      In majority of the Circles and Divisions eventhough the revised wages are implemented, arrears for the period from 01.01.2006 is still pending. When contacted the reason stated is that funds are not revived from Directorate, eventhough Circle offices has submitted requisition for required funds to make payment of arrears.

7.      Further Directorate has already issued orders, again revising the wages of casual labourers with effect from 01.01.2016, consequent on revision of minimum pay of Central Govt. employees by the Govt. as per the recommendations of 7th CPC. The above orders is yet to be implemented in all Circles.

8.      In view of the above stated facts, it is once again requested that immediate action may be taken by the Directorate to

(a)   ensure implementation of 22.01.01.2015 orders revising the wages of casual labourers w.e.f 01.01.2006 in all the Circles/Divisions.

(b)   To allot sufficient funds for payment of arrears of wages w.e.f 01.01.2006 to all Circles.

(c)    To implement the orders revising the wages as per 7th CPC revision w.e.f 01.01.2016, in all Circles and division.

Without strict and time bound orders from Directorate, there is no chance for improvement in the present situation and the poor casual labourers will continue to be subjected to untold miseries.

Awaiting immediate action.

Yours faithfully,

(M. Krishnan)
