MINISTER'S SPEECH AT METTUPALAYAM


Indian Postal Act will be suitably amended, says Union Minister
The Union government has proposed amendments to the Indian Postal Act to introduce regulations on the courier industry, according to Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology Shri A. Raja.
The Indian Postal Act would be suitably amended to frame provisions to regulate the private courier services. This would also bring the sector under the Consumer Protection Act.
A Bill for this would be introduced in Parliament after getting the Cabinet approval, he said.
After inaugurating the Mettupalayam Project Arrow Office at Mettupalayam Head Post Office on 21/9/09, he told presspersons that the Department of Posts was incurring about Rs. 600 crore loss annually.
The excess land with the post offices could be used for development of commercial buildings and these could be rented out for revenue.
A committee of secretaries formed to study the proposal had given its recommendations. A special purpose vehicle would be formed to implement the proposal.
Speaking at the inaugural, he said that post offices across the country would be modernised (Project Arrow) in phases at an outlay of Rs. 500 crore during the XI Five Year Plan period.
Initially, about 50 post offices were taken up on a pilot basis.
In Tamil Nadu, nine post offices were taken up under the project in Phase-I.
In Phase-II, 67 post offices were taken up and in the next phase, it was proposed to cover Annur, Sathyamangalam and Avinashi post offices too.

MACP- FEATURES


IMPORTANT POINTS IN MACP
EXPERT’S EXCERPTS


* Three financial upgradation to be granted after 10, 20 and 30 years. (Para 1 of Annexure 1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09)
* All cadres including Group A (excluding organized Gr.A services) are eligible for grant of MACP. (Para 3 of Order dated 19.5.09)
Financial up gradation will be in next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of Grade Pay and not in the promotional hierarchy (as it was earlier). (Para 2 of Annexure)
An employee who completes 10 years of service in a particular grade will qualify for grant of MACP. Service rendered in a lower grade will not be counted for grant of MACP after completion of total qualifying service of 10 years. For example if an employee gets regular promotion to the next grade after completion of 5 years of service in a particular grade, he will have to wait till the completion of 15 years of regular service for 2nd MACP. Like wise 3rd MACP for him will be given after completion of 25 years of regular service (Illustration 1 Para 28 (i) and (ii))
However, after 1st regular promotion or 1st MACP, completion of 10 years of regular service in a grade or total qualifying service of 20 years or 30 years whichever falls earlier will be the milestone for grant of next MACP (Illustration 3 Para 28 B)
The service rendered by the existing employees prior to implementation of the MACPS viz., prior to 1.9.2008, will also be taken in to account for calculating the 10, 20 and 30 year milestones for granting MACP. For example, if an employee joins in a CG Department during the year 2000, he is eligible to get a financial upgradation during the year 2010. (Para 9 of Annexure)
Similarly, employees who were granted financial upgradation under previous ACP scheme i.e., prior to the introduction of MACPS with effect from 1.9.2008, will be eligible for financial upgradation under MACPS after completion of 20 years and 30 years of service, irrespective of regular promotion given to them if any, between their 10 to 20 years of service or between 20 years and 30 years of service. For example if an employee was given 1st ACP under old ACP Scheme after completion of 12 years of service and a regular promotion after completion of 18 years of service, he will be eligible for 2nd MACP after completion of 20 years of service. (Para 9 of Annexure and Illustrations in Para 5 and Para 28)
Financial benefit an employee gets as a result of pay fixation during MACP will be 3% of basic pay (pay in pay band plus the grade pay before MACP) and the difference in Grade pay before MACP and grade pay after MACP. Option for fixation of pay is also available. (Para 4 and 7 of annexure)
If an employee gets a regular promotion to a grade which carries same grade pay which he is receiving now after grant of MACP, no further pay fixation will be allowed at the time of said regular promotion. If an employee gets a regular promotion to a grade which carries higher grade pay than the grade pay he is receiving now after grant of MACP, no further pay fixation will be allowed on account of the fact that his pay would have been fixed at the time of grant of MACP itself. However, difference in the grade pay he is getting now and the next grade pay in the hierarchy will be allowed as monetary benefit at the time of promotion. (Para 4 of Annexure)
In the case of employees who have been either promoted or given ACP prior to 6CPC implementation from a grade to another grade, pay scales of which have been merged now after 6CPC implementation, the said promotion or ACP shall be ignored and those emplyees are to be considered for financial upgradations equivalent to the number of milestones they have completed viz., 10 years , 20 years and 30 years milestones as the case may be prescribed in the MACPS for financial upgradations. (Para 5 and illustration thereof)
In cases where ACP was granted as per previous ACP scheme, but whereas after 6CPC implementation the next higher post which the employee got through ACP has been upgraded with higher grade pay, the pay of such employees in the revised pay structure will be fixed with reference to the higher grade pay granted to the post. To illustrate, in the case of a Jr. Engineer in CPWD, who was granted 1st ACP in old ACP scheme to the grade of Asstt. Engineer which carried the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 corresponding to the revised grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2, he would now be granted grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 consequent upon upgradation of the post of Asstt. Engineer, to the grade pay of Rs.4600 in PB-2. However, from the date of implementation of the MACPS viz., from 1.9.2008, all the financial upgradations under the Scheme should be done strictly in accordance with the hierarchy of grade pays in pay bands as notified. (Para 6.2 of Annexure)
Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 and Grade pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3 are two different Grade Pay for the purpose of MACP
Bench Mark (CCR/ACR Gradings) is “Good” up to GP 6600 thereafter is should be “Very Good”.

The Postal JCA including GDS unions met 21.09.09 discussed in detail about the situation prevailing on GDS committee report and the inordinate delay in its implementation over ten months. The JCA also noted with concern that the modification sought for on pro rata wages, increment, Fixation formula etc have not been incorporated in the Cabinet memo.

Attention of All Branch/Divisional Secretaries This Strike action is only for the immediate settlement of GDS Pay Committee report. We have not included any other demands since the importance of the demand should not be diluted. It is the GDS who participated the Bonus strike for Departmental employees and all the strikes even though their demands were not found place. The December 2008 episode should not be repeated in any division/circles who have miserably failed then. 100% participation should be ensured by all members by organizing tours , meetings etc. Don't forget! It is our primary duty to extend all help to GDS for settlement of their fundamental demands. Please ensure the Strike a most successful one.
All Circle Secretaries are requested to tour their circles intensively and ensure full participation of all cadres in the ensuing Strike from 07.10.09. Reports shall be sent to CHQ as frequently as possible about the mobilization and other issues.
Let us unite, shed our differences if any for the cause of GDS and for their upliftment. Let us show our oneness in the strike and mitigate the GDS demands.

MODIFIED ACP SCHEME – SALIENT FEATURES
The Department of Posts has caused orders vide its OM no. 4-7/(MACPs)/2009/PCC dt. 18.09.09 for the implementation of MACP scheme in the Department of Posts. The full text of the orders is being published in the ensuing Bhartiya Post and also exhibited in our CHQ Website.

6. No stepping up of pay in the pay band or grade pay would be admissible.
This MACP is based on the DOPT orders and it should be read with the DOPT order dated 19.05.2009.
The main features of the DOPT orders stated above is as follows: -
(i) There shall be three financial upgradations counted from the direct entry grade on completion of 10,20 & 30 years respectively.

He will not be eligible for further financial upgradation till he agrees to be considered for promotion again and the second and the next financial upgradiaton shall also be deferred to the extend of period of debarment due to the refusal.
The Department of Posts has simply adopted the orders without any deviation. Certainly the introduction of MACP scheme in the Postal is another mile stone ahead in our history. All are requested to send their feed backs about the MACP.

MEMORANDUM TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS ON 21.09.2009 BY THE POSTAL EMPLOYEES OF TIRUPUR POSTAL DIVISION.

To

THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
Camp at METTUPALAYAM-641301


Respected Sir,

The Postal Employees of TIRUPUR DIVISION under TAMILNADU POSTAL CIRCLE, Onbehalf of Postal Joint Council of Action are submitting this Memorandum to you with a fervent appeal for your kind intervention for immediate acceptance and implementation of the pay commission for three lakhs Gramin Dak Sewaks in the Department of Posts.

The Three lakhs Gramin Dak Sewaks were excluded by the Government of India from the purview of 6th Central Pay Commission but the Government had appointed a separate Committee headed by Shri. Nataraja Murti, a retired Postal Services Board Member to look into the wage revision issues of Gramin Dak Sewaks. That Committee had submitted its recommendations as early as in the month of November 2008. The Government of India is yet to accept and implement the recommendations of the above Committee with the modifications suggested by the unions even though the entirety of Central Government Employees has been granted with new pay scales as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission one year before. Central Government has completely neglected 3 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks while implementing 6th Central Pay Commission report. This grave injustice towards rural section is vehemently opposed by the unions.

Some sections of the Postal Employees in general and the Gramin Dak Sewaks in particular have embarked on a three days all India strike in the month of December 2008 to impress upon the Government to implement the recommendations with justified modifications. However even today there is no action for implementing the recommendations and the inordinate delay has caused extreme mental agony and disillusionment amongst the three lakhs of Gramin Dak Sewaks, who are the backbone of the Postal Department in the rural India. We are demanding therefore the immediate acceptance by Union Cabinet and release of orders for implementation of GDS pay commission recommendations incorporating the valid suggestions from the unions. Since the implementation is very much delayed, we urge for payment of entire arrears in one single installment unlike the case of Central Government Employees under 6th CPC. The Government of India should behave like a model employer and therefore we request your kind intervention with the Government of India to cause removal of all discrimination towards GDS employees' on issues like Bonus ceiling, irrational application of reduction of pay, allowances etc.


The Postal Joint Council of Action comprising of the National Federation of Postal Employees, Federation of National Postal Organisations, All India Postal Extra Departmental Employees Union and the National Union of Gramin Dak Sewaks has therefore been forced to embark upon a nationwide Programme of Action and in accordance with the decisions we the Postal Employees of TIRUPUR POSTAL DIVISION are submitting this Memorandum to you Sir, seeking your kind intervention to arrange early approval for implementation of the GDS Committee recommendations without any further delay,


We request you Sir, to kindly use your good offices with the Government of India for immediate implementation of GDS Pay Commission recommendations for three lakhs of downtrodden Gramin Dak Sewaks working under the Department of Posts.

Thanking you Sir,


(Sd) …………………………………….
