Comrades,

            The Government of India , Ministry of Finance  has  again rejected  the demand of PJCA  for inclusion of  matters relating to  GDS  Wages  revision  and other service conditions in 7^th CPC . During the meetings on PJCA  6^th May, 2015  Strike Charter of Demands  Postal Board and Communication  Minister  has assured  that a strong  note  with strong recommendations will be  sent to  Finance Ministry for inclusion  of GDS  in 7^th CPC . But unfortunately  it has been rejected  once again and it  shows  the thinking of  Government of India  towards  this most deprived  and exploited  section of  Postal Department . It has come to notice that Department has started action to form Bureaucratic Committee which requires to be protested strongly. Besides this the file of Cadre restructuring has been sent back by DOP&T for clarification on some points. Though we  were  assured by the Department  that all Cadre Restructuring  proposals  will be implemented  before 7^th CPC.

            In all cadres of Postal Department, there is acute shortage and no appropriate action is being taken by the Postal Board to fill up the vacancies.

            Hence  being  aggrieved  we strongly  oppose all these moves of Government of India and  Department of Post, and to protest all these  things  the following  programme of action is declared for the below mentioned Demands: -

(i)     Include GDS in 7^th CPC for wage revision and other service related matters.

(ii)    Implement cadre Restructuring proposals in all cadres including Postal Accounts and MMS in Department of Posts

(iii)   Fill up all vacant posts in all cadres of Department of Posts(i.e. PA,SA, Postmen, Mail Guard, Mail Man, GDS Mail Man, MMS Driver & other staff in MMS, PA CO, PA SBCO , PO Accounts & Civil Wing  Staff)

   

PROGRAMMES -

1.      Observe protest day on 19^th August 2015 by observing lunch hour demonstration in front of all Divisional, Regional and Circle offices.

2.   One Day Dharna on 26^th August 2015 at all Divisional, Regional and Circle Offices.

3.   One Day Dharna by All India Leaders of PJCA (NFPE+FNPO+AIPEU GDS (NFPE) + NUGDS) in front of Dak Bhawan (Postal Directorate) New Delhi on 22nd September-2015)

            Postal JCA appeals entire  rank and file to make  all efforts to make all agitational  programmes  a grand success to give a  strong message  to Government of India  and Department of Posts  that if  our genuine  demands are not settled the Postal Employees  including GDS  will be compelled to go  on Indefinite Strike.

Yours Comradely,

Finance ministry braces for Seventh Pay Commission recommendations

Finance ministry braces for Seventh Pay Commission recommendations

Salary, pension costs set to grow 15.8% and 16%, respectively, in FY17, leaving govt less money to build capital assets.

New Delhi: The finance ministry is apprehensive about the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, expected this month, significantly increasing the revenue expenditure of the government in the next fiscal, leaving it less money to spend on building capital assets.

In the medium-term expenditure framework statement laid before Parliament on Wednesday, the finance ministry said salary and pension expenditure is expected to rise by 15.8% and 16%, respectively, in 2016-17, which may leave capital expenditure room to grow by no more than 8% during the year.

Total revenue expenditure is expected to jump 8.1% to Rs.16.6 trillion in 2016-17 against a budgeted growth of 3.1% in 2015-16. During the same period, growth in capital expenditure is exp ected to slow to 8%, at Rs.2.6 trillion, from a budgeted growth of 25.4%.

The finance ministry said award of the Seventh Pay Commission’s suggestions, with their consequent impact on government finances, “poses a risk”.

The government appointed the Seventh Pay Commission on 28 February 2014 under chairman, Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, with a time frame of 18 months to make its recommendations.

“The pay commission impact may have to be absorbed in 2016-17. The phase of consolidation, extended by one year, will also be spanning out in this period. Thus, in the medium-term framework, the fiscal position will continue to be stressed,” the finance ministry said in the 2015-16 budget presented in February.

The Union budget cut the plan expenditure for the first time in many years by Rs.2,657 crore to Rs.4.7 trillion in 2015-16 from the revised estimate of 2014-15, as the centre shared an additional Rs.1.86 trillion

• Kindly stop using the office account 0387 for re-investment of matured accounts in CBS Post Offices.
• As per the SB order 07/2015 Scenario 14 follow the following procedure for re-investment of matured amount in CBS Post Offices.

Revised Re-investment Process

• When a customer wants re-investment from one scheme maturity value to another scheme, customer should be asked if he/she has a Savings Account in any CBS Post Office.
• If Yes, then signature in that account available in the system should be tallied with the signature on the Closure Form.
• If Not, customer should be asked to pen a new savings account under the same CID(fresh KYC documents and Form should be taken if account/certificate matured belong to Pre-migration period).
• Customer should write on the receipt side of the Account Closure Form or Certificate, the amount to be re-invested, name of scheme and Savings Account number under his/her signatures.
• In case of new AOF presented for re-investment, under the field "Mode of Deposit", he/she has to write savings account number.In such case, no separate withdrawal form is required to be given and this transaction should be treated as non-cash transaction for the purpose of eligibility of commission to agents(if AOF contains details of agent).
• Once Postmaster/Sub Postmaster is sure about the genuineness of the depositor (from signatures/photograph /any other identification), total maturity value+interest should be credited into that Savings Account and then amount to be re-invested should be debited/withdrawn from this Savings Account and credited/deposited in the concerned new account while funding.
•  No re-investment should be accepted if customer does not have a savings account in a CBS Post Office or customer is not ready to open new savings account, in such a case, payment should be made by Postmaster Cheque only.
