GIST REPORT

The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today has approved the revision in the wage structure and allowances of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) of the Department of Posts.

The revision in the wage structure would entail an estimated expenditure of Rs 1257.75 crore (Non-recurring expenditure - Rs 860.95 crore and Recurring expenditure of Rs.396.80 crore) during 2018-19.

3.07 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks will be benefitted by this wage revision.

Details:

1. Time Related Continuity allowance (TRCA) structure and slabs have been rationalised.  The total GDSs have been brought under two categories viz. Branch Postmasters (BPMs) and other than Branch Postmasters namely Assistant Branch Postmaster (ABPMs).
2. The present 11 TRCA slabs will be merged into only three TRCA Slabs with two levels each for BPMs and other than BPMs.
3. Introduction of new Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA) will be as below:

Minimum TRCA of two types of proposed categories of GDSs as per working hours / levels
S.No.	Category	Minimum TRCA for 4 Hours / Level 1	Minimum TRCA for 5 Hours / Level 2
1	BPM	Rs. 12000/-	Rs. 14500/-
2	ABPM/Dak Sevaks	Rs. 10000/-	Rs. 12000/-

4. Dearness Allowance will continue to be paid as a separate component, and also revised from time to time whenever it is revised for Central Government Servants.
5. It is decided to continue the calculation of the ex-gratia bonus by applying the calculation ceiling of Rs.7000 as basic TRCA + DA till such time a new scheme is devised.
6. Arrears for the period 1.1.2016 to the date of implementation will be paid by increasing the basic TRCA drawn during the period by a factor of 2.57. The arrears will be paid in one instalment.

• vii. Annual increase at the rate of 3% and the same may be given on 1st January or 1st July of every year as the case may be based on the one time written request of GDSs.

8. A new Risk and hardship Allowance has been introduced. Other allowances Viz. Office maintenance allowance, Combined duty allowance, Cash conveyance charges, Cycle maintenance allowance, Boat allowance and Fixed Stationery Charges have been revised.

Implementation strategy and targets:

The revision would result in improving the wages, allowances and discharge benefits of Gramin Dak Sevaks resulting in providing efficient & cost-effective basic postal facilities in the rural area. The proposed increased emoluments will enable him to improve his socio-economic standing.

Impact:

The Branch Post Offices are the fulcrum for provision of Communications and financial services in the village and are located in remote areas. The Post Master has to deal with large sums while making payments to customers; hence accountability is already built into his work. The enhanced remuneration will increase the sense of responsibility. Moreover, with the roll out of the India Post Payment Bank (IPPB), the CDS network is expected to play a key role in the process of financial inclusion of the rural population.

Background:

The Extra Departmental system in the Department of Posts was established more than150 years ago to provide basic, economical and efficient postal services in the rural areas where there was no justification for engaging full time regular employees. One Lakh Twenty-Nine Thousand Three Hundred forty-six (1,29,346) Extra-departmental Branch post offices are primarily manned by Gramin Dak Sevak Branch Postmasters. In addition, Gramin Dak Sevaks other than Branch Postmasters are also working in Branch, Sub and Head Post offices. The main features of the engagement of Gramin Dak Sevaks are that they work for part time ranging from 3 to 5 hours per day and supplement their income from other vocations so as to have adequate means of livelihood for themselves and their families. They remain in service up to the age of 65 years.

Dak Bhawan, New Delhi – 110001

Sir,

Sub: -  Ongoing GDS Strike.

As you are aware the strike of the GDS Unions demanding immediate implementation of positive recommendation of Kamalesh Chandra committee is continuing. All the four GDs Unions are on strike and the functioning of 1,29,500 Branch Post offices has been paralysed. In remaining departmental offices also work is badly affected.

Instead of taking a positive approach to discuss and settle the demands amicably, the stand of the Department and Govt. that “strike should be withdrawn first and then only discussion”, “no minutes or agreement” etc. cannot be accepted by trade Unions of its name. The attitude of the Govt. and Department is condemnable.

As GDS has not raised any unreasonable demand, prolonging the strike further will complicate the situation. We, the Federation, shall not remain as silent spectators, when 2.76 lakhs GDS who are an integral part and backbone of the rural Postal services are on strike for 15 days.

We hereby like to inform you that if the strike is not settled by accepting the reasonable demands of the striking GDS Unions immediately, NFPE and FNPO and all its affiliated unions will be compelled to join the strike with short notice. We have already notified the meetings of our managing bodies to take a decision in this regard.

We earnestly hope that the Secretary, Department of Posts, shall come forward to negotiate and settle the legitimate demands of the striking GDS Unions forthwith, before the situation goes from bad to worse.

Yours faithfully,

                        D. Kishan Rao                                                              R. N. Parashar

Latest position of GDS Strike......

The FNPO & affiliated unions totally support the GDS indefinite Strike from 22 May 2018.

1. Arranging picketing at HO’s and bigger offices & Divisional offices especially in CO &    RO’s.

2. Do not go against the GDS employees Indefinite Strike.

3. Don’t allow departmental employees to interfere with the duties of GDS employees.

4. Don’t allow any transactions without RICT & don’t allow any officiating arrangements. 

We should see that this strike is total success and no departmental employee should obstruct the strike according to the GDS employees demand. We should act for the success of strike.

The PJCA is observing the situation and it will embark on a total strike according to the situation.

We appeal to the Postal Board and Ministry of Communications to take appropriate decision soon.

The PJCA already made this intension to join the strike and many Circles joining the strike from tomorrow which is a spontaneous action.

The Postal Joint Council of Action is not responsible for the stalling of postal operations and the responsibility rest with the Ministry of Communications and the Government of India.

To

All General Secretaries/FNPO office bearers

All Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries of FNPO affiliated unions.

Dear Colleagues,

            As you are well aware that the NUGDS, AIGDSU and NFPE GDS unions had served strike notice on 3.5.2018 for indefinite strike from 22.5.2018 for implementation of  Kamalesh Chandra Committee positive recommendations which is delayed indefinitely and 3 Lakh GDS employees are frustrated.

            The available General Secretaries of FNPO and NFPE met and formed PJCA on 16.5.2018. The Federal Secretariat of NFPE was also in session on the same day. It was unanimously decided to support the strike of GDS employees.

            The PJCA consisting of NFPE and FNPO served a letter on 17.5.2018 to the Secretary in unequivocally terms that the Postal JCA supports the strike of GDS employees in total solidarity and it will decide future programme shortly if the demand is not settled and it is made clear that the Department is only responsible for the paralisation of postal services at this crucial juncture.

The FNPO therefore appeals to the cadre

  

1.    All the affiliated unions should extend full support in solidarity and organize for the total strike of GDS employees.

2.    According to the local situations they may form local JCA and cooperate to the strike according to the situation and see that the strike is total.

3.    During the period of strike massive demonstrations should be held at all work places

4.    They should protest wearing black badges against the callous attitude of the Department and Government.

All should understand that due to the technical compulsions the Postal JCA didn’t join the strike from the said date. The Postal JCA is watching the situation and take appropriate action in due course and will maintain broader unity for fulfillment of the charter of demands served on 17.5.2018 including the GDS demands (appended). Make preparations for the future direct action.

The agitation should send a message to the Department that the powder is dry and it will culminate to an indefinite strike shortly.

With fraternal Greetings……
