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 6^thCPC.

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 7^th 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 7^th 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)

USTICE FINALLY WON : - SUPREME COURT VERDICT IMPLEMENTED - PROMOTION THROUGH COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION SHOULD NOT BE COUNTED AS MACP

After having failed in CAT, Madras High court and Supreme Court, the Government finally ordered to implement the judgement in favour of Sri D.Sivakumar, Retd SPM, MMC PO, Chennai city north division who moved the court pleading that promotion through competitive examination should not be counted as MACP.

The order of CAT accepting his prayer was challenged by the Government in Madras High court and subsequently in Supreme Court. Its attempt to deny the justice was defeated by the Judiciary.

On the direction of the Directorate, the SSPOs, Chennai City north division has now issued order granting MACP lll from 1.9.2008 to the official.

The official was promoted to PA cadre from 12.11.1977 through competitive examination. He was granted TBOP on 15.11.1993( now MACP l) and granted BCR ( now MACP ll) on 1.1.2004.

MACP lll from 1.9.2008 has been granted now.

A great victory indeed after prolonged legal battle. He may be the first to put an end to the deliberate injustice of the Government.

Now from now on, we must try to extend the benefit to all the victims of injustice in MACP case.

Copy of order granting MACP III to the LGO promoted official in Chennai City North Division followed by Historic Judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India is enclosed now.

আজ শুরু নয়া অর্থবর্ষ, একনজরে দেখে নেওয়া যাক বিভিন্ন পরিষেবায় কী বদল ঘটছে

নয়াদিল্লি: আজ ১ এপ্রিল। নয়া আর্থিক বর্ষের প্রথম দিন। শুধু পেট্রোল-ডিজেলের দামেই শুধু নয়, আজ থেকে বেশ কয়েকটি পরিষেবায় বদল ঘটছে। কী কী থাকছে সেই তালিকায় একনজরে দেখে নেওয়া যাক।

 

আজ থেকে বিভিন্ন স্বল্প সঞ্চয় প্রকল্পে কমছে সুদের হার। এনএসসি, ডাকঘর মাসিক সঞ্চয় প্রকল্প, পাবলিক প্রভিডেন্ট ফান্ড বা পিপিএফ, ফিক্সড ডিপোজিট, টার্ম ডিপোজিট, রেকারিং ডিপোজিট, সিনিয়র সিটিজেন সেভিংস স্কিম, সুকন্যা সমৃদ্ধি প্রকল্পহল কেন্দ্রীয় সরকারের স্বল্প সঞ্চয় প্রকল্পগুলিতে সুদের হার কমছে।

 

আজ থেকে কমছে নগদ লেনদেনের পরিমাণ। আজ থেকে নগদে লেনদেনের পরিমাণ কমে হচ্ছে ২ লক্ষ টাকা। নিয়ম ভাঙলে দিতে সম পরিমাণ জরিমানা।

 

আজ থেকে মহার্ঘ হচ্ছে গাড়ি বিমা। ১ হাজার সিসি-র বেশি ক্ষমতাসম্পন্ন গাড়ি ও বাইকে বিমার বার্ষিক প্রিমিয়াম ১ এপ্রিল থেকে প্রায় ৪১ শতাংশ বাড়ছে।

 

আজ থেকে পুরোপুরি বন্ধ নোটবদল। এরপর থেকে আর অচল নোট বদল করা যাবে না।

 

শুধু স্বল্প সঞ্চয়ের সুদে কোপ নয়, নতুন আর্থিক বছর থেকে মধ্যবিত্তর জন্য রয়েছে আরও দুঃসংবাদ। সেভিংস অ্যাকাউন্টে ন্যূনতম ৫ হাজার টাকা রাখার সিদ্ধান্তে অনড় এসবিআই। ছাড় শুধু সরকারি পেনশনভোগী, কর্পোরেট স্যালারি অ্যাকাউন্টে।

 

সড়কে নিষিদ্ধ হচ্ছে মদ। সুপ্রিম কোর্টের নির্দেশে দেশের সমস্ত জাতীয় ও রাজ্য সড়কের ধারে মদের দোকান আজ থেকে বন্ধ।

 

পথ দুর্ঘটনা কমাতে দিনেও বাইকের আলো জ্বালিয়ে রাখার নির্দেশ আজ থেকে কার্যকর হচ্ছে।

 

আজ থেকে রেলের বিকল্প আসন পরিষেবা শুরু হচ্ছে। কনফার্ম টিকিট না পেলে, একই রুটের অন্য ট্রেনে মিলবে আসন। তবে এই সুবিধা শুধু অনলাইন টিকিটের ক্ষেত্রেই মিলবে। পাশাপাশি, আজ থেকে ই-টিকিটের ক্ষেত্রে পরিষেবা কর লাগছে না।

 

সস্তা হচ্ছে জ্বালানিও। কমল পেট্রোল, ডিজেলের দাম। লিটার প্রতি পেট্রোলের দাম কমছে ৩ টাকা ৭৭ পয়সা। ডিজেল কমেছে লিটার প্রতি ২ টাকা ৯১ পয়সা। এর জেরে কলকাতায় পেট্রোলের দাম কমে হল ৬৮ টাকা ৯৭ পয়সা ও ডিজেলের দাম হল ৫৭ টাকা ৮৬ পয়সা।ফসল বীমা যোজনার সুবিধা পেতে আজ থেকে জরুরী আধার কার্ড।
