The index decreased by 2 points each in Coimbatore and Warrangal centres and 1 point in Salem centre, while in the remaining 5 centres the index remained stationary. <br />
<br />

The Department’s order has partially sorted out the issue. The main issue that minimum pay in the cadre applicable for direct recruits be applied for promotes also is still pending in JCM National Council level. <br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The Cabinet Secretary K. M. Chandrasekhar today informed that there is no plan to revise the retirement age for Central Government employees. After the sixth pay commission implementation, employees were hoping for the rise in pension age, as doing so can reduce the burden of the additional payment to some extent. However the government decided other stopping all the rumours associated. Shri. K. M. Chandrasekhar clarified that the government has no intentions in changing the retirement age and the current system will be followed. “I tried to find out. But there is no file in (Department of) Expenditure, no file in DOPT (Department of Personnel and Training). There is nothing. It is more of a wishful thinking,” he said in an interview. At present the retirement age for the Central Government employees is 60. He also added that there is no plan to unify the retirement age of the state government staff across the states. “The states will decide their own retirement age,” he said. All states have their own retirement age - starting from 55 years (Kerala) to 60 years (Uttar Pradesh, Assam etc). The Madhya Pradesh government teachers retire at the age of 62 years.</div><br />

Sub; Revaluation of answer papers Judgment pronounced by Hon1ble Supreme Court in the Civil Appeal No (s) 897 of 2006 and 907 of 2006 between Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (Appellant) and Mukesh Thakur & Anr. (Respondents)<br />
Sir/Madam<br />
I am directed to enclose copy of the subject cited judgment of Hon. Supreme Court of India.<br />
2 Consequent on introduction of RTI Act 2005 and the directions of the CIC to supply photocopies of answer papers to the candidates, filing of Court cases in the Tribunals has increased enormously. Various CAT Benches are also directing the Department to get the answer papers revaluated .On filing writ petitions in the High Courts against the orders of the CAT Benches, the High Court are also disposing off the cases saying that they don't want to interfere in the matter. It is stated that Rule 15-Appendix-37 of Postal Manual Volume-IV clearly stipulates "Revaluation of answer scrip is not permissible in any case or under any circumstances". Thus it is not permissible to consider requests of candidates for revaluation after declaration of results as it will not only cause great inconvenience to the examination process and also cause hindrance to the administration in the absence of vacancies of particular category viz, OC, SC,ST etc under departmental quota but also be against the sprit of ibid Rule.<br />
3 .It may be seen that representations requesting for revaluation of answer papers are being received in this office specifically pointing out the following grievances: <br />
(i) Particular answer(s) were not evaluated.<br />
<br />
(ii) Excess attempted answer (s) was not evaluated.<br />
<br />
(iii) For the some answer (s), the examiner awarded marks to one candidate and to another candidate no marks were assigned or the answer struck off as wrong.<br />
<br />
(iv) All the answers were evaluated but justified marks were not awarded by the examiner.<br />
<br />
4. The issues indicated at (i) to (iii) above are justified and need to be examined by the competent authority to find out the facts and if the calm of the candidate appears to be genuine, revaluation may be got done by an independent examiners in such cases and further necessary action may be taken. In so far as the issue indicated at (iv) above, there is no need to consider such requests and merits rejection of the initial stage itself.<br />
5. In the similar situation in the Civil Appeal No(s) 897 of 2006 and 907 of 2006 between Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (Appellant) and Mukesh Thakur & Anr (Respondents), Hon. Supreme Court of India has upheld the plea of the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission rejecting the request of a candidate for revaluation .In the light of the judgment of Hon. Supreme Court , it is requested to review all pending court cases filed in various CAT Benches/High Courts by the candidates of various departmental examinations seeking directions for revaluation and declaring them as successful on the pretext that the evaluation was not done properly by the examiners and file suitable interim replies in the courts producing the copy of the Supreme Court judgment seeking dismissal of the cases . All pending representations received from the applicants seeking revaluation of answer papers covered item (iv) of para 3 above may also be disposed off at the Divisional/Regional/Circle level as the case may be without forwarding the same to this office.<br />
6. This issues with the approval of Member (P).<br />
<br />
7. The receipt of the latter may please be acknowledged.<br />

Subject : Sub: – Grant of Hostel subsidy and Children Education Assistance<br />
<br />
Sir/Madam<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Representations have been received from the staff side that:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(i) In many circles, the Hostel Subsidy has not been sanctioned to the officials as per the OM No 12011/03/2008-Estt (Allowance) dt. 2.9.2008</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(ii) that the officials are entitled for reimbursement of all fee paid for children like imparting music or any other subject fee for the use of any aid or appliance extra-curricular activities, besides reimbursement of one set of text-books and notebooks, 2 sets of uniform and one set of school shoes, etc. However, the reimbursement has not been made for the above item for want of separate orders from the Directorate about the modalities. He requested the Directorate for issue of clarifications to circles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. The issues raised by the staff side have been examined and in consultation with the Department of Personnel and Training. The Department of Personnel and Training vide their U.O. No. 12011/05/2010-Estt (Allowance) dt. 05.07.2010 intimated that, it has been clarified vide OM NO. 12011/03/2008-Estt (Allowance) dt. 11-11-2008 that “hostel subsidy means expenses incurred by the Government servant if he has to keep his children in the hostel of a residential school away from the station at which he is posted or is residing. There are no further conditions attached to it. Further the OM no. 12011/03/2008-Estt (Allowance) dt. 2-9-2008 has been issued in supersession of the earlier orders. Therefore for payment of Hostel subsidy, the condition required to be fulfilled is keeping his children in the hostel of a residential school away from the station at which he is posted or is residing and it is not linked to transfer of Government servant as clarified by the Nodal Ministry. Further, as per OM No. 12011/03/2008-Estt. (Allowance) dated 02.09.2008, both Hostel Subsidy and Children Education Assistance cannot be availed concurrently.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. In regard to point no. 2 raised by the Staff side, attention of the circles is invited to OM no. 12011/03/2008-Estt (Allowance) dt. 02.09.2008 wherein reimbursement items that can be claimed were detailed as:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Tuition fee, admission fee, laboratory fee, special fee charged for agriculture, Electronics, music or any other subject, fee charged for practical work under programme of work experience, fee paid for the use of any aid or appliance by the child, library fee, games/sports fee and fee for extra-curricular activities This also includes reimbursement for purchase of one set of text books and note books, two sets of uniforms and one set of school shoes can be claimed for a child in a year”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, all these items are within the Annual Ceiling of Rs.12000 subject to production of cash receipts and other conditions prescribed by the Nodal Ministry in the said OM.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. It is requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned for scrupulous observance and strict compliance.</div><br />

<br />
VERSUS<br />
<br />
M. NALLAVAN ... RESONDENT<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">We have heard learned counsel for the parties. During the course of hearing of this batch of appeals, the appellants represented by the Director (Staff), Ministry of Communication & I.T., Department of Posts filed an additional affidavit which may put an end to the controversy between the parties. In fact, the said additional affidavit has been filed pursuant to certain observations made by this Court while hearing the appeals.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is evident from the affidavit that the entire matter was reconsidered by the Department and upon such reexamination based on humanitarian considerations, found that out of 204 respondents in all 202 respondents working in the Department against short term/leave vacancies can be accommodated against compassionate appointment vacancies for the years 2000-01 to 2009 as per the departmental guidelines. However, in the case of Postal Assistants (PA) and Sorting Assistants (SA) cadre, according to the Ministry, the number of vacancies is not enough to accommodate all of them in the cadre. It is stated that the number of vacancies earmarked for this period is only 113 whereas the number of respondents claiming the relief is 152. However, it is stated that as a one time measure, the Department is willing to accommodate them against residual vacancies of the Department. The statement made in the affidavit is made part of the record directing the respondents to act upon the same.</div><br />
In the circumstances, the appellants are directed to regularize the services of all the 202 respondents who are working in the Department against short term/leave vacancies with effect from their date of appointment. <br />
<br />
However, the respondents shall not be entitled for payment of any arrears on account of such regularization. But their pay and pensionary benefits are protected.<br />
<br />
In view of this order, it is made clear that the findings recorded by the Tribunal and as well as the High Court with regard to the interpretation of office memorandums and circulars of the Department are set aside and those findings and observations shall not be treated as precedent for the purpose of any other case or cases that may be pending.<br />
<br />
The questions of law, if any, are left open.<br />
<br />
The appeals are accordingly disposed of without any order as to costs. The interlocutory applications are accordingly allowed.<br />

As such as on date consideration of MACPS ie 01.09.2008, there is no exixtance of the cadres of LDCs and UDCsand therefore promtions earned by the officials from from PA to UDC or LDCs to UDCs prior to re designation is to be ignored.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The undersigned is directed clarify the position in respect of reduction of staff under TBOP/BCR schemes w.e.f 01.09.2008 during periodical Establishment Reviews consequent upon implementation of MACP and withdrawal of TBOP/BCR Schemes as under:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Consequent on implementation of time Bound One Promotion (TBOP) Scheme and Biennial Cadre Review (BCR) Scheme, Department of Posts had imposed cuts of 5% in operative staff and 15% in supervisory staff w.e.f 30.11.1983 under TBOP Scheme and later on, additional cuts of 1% in operative staff and 5% in supervisory staff were introduced w.e.f. 01.10.1991 under BCR Scheme. These cuts were introduced as measure of matching savings to offset the financial implications on account of grant of financial upgradations to staff and for obtaining additional productivity. The number of posts reduced under this matching savings/productivity provisions were kept in view at the time of periodical reviews or establishment of augmentation proposals.The said TBOP and BCR Schemes have now been withdrawn w.e.f 01.09.20087 consequent upon implementation of Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACP). Consequently, the number of operative/supervisory posts existing as on 01.09.2008 will be taken into consideration for the purpose of periodical reviews or augmentation proposals of Post Offices establishment. Thus, provisions relating to reduction of staff under TBOP/BCR Schemes stand also withdrawn w.e.f 01.09.2008.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

A co<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> The Department as usual has opposed the OA and stated that the IPs are not eligible to get GP of Rs.4600/-.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The reply statement filed is not at all acceptable. The Dept. has made mainly two points :</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Inspector of Posts were not in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This can not be accepted as pay scale of Inspector post were upgraded in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006. The second point is that, how the Assistants in CSS are given GP of Rs.4600, eventhough they were at pre-revised Pay scale of Rs.5500-9000 as on 01.01.2006 and were upgraded in Rs.6500-10500 only in Sept'2006. More over Assistants in AFHQ were in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.5500-9000 and even though they got GP of Rs.4600 vide MOF OM dated 16.11.2009.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. There is hiearchical problem because of ASPOs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the Reply, it is stated that there is no intermediate post between Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC and their Suerindents(GP Rs.4800) and also between Assistant grade and section officers(GP Rs.4800)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is to mention that there are many posts, which are promotional and are in the same grade pay in the same pay band, then why the Inspector Posts and ASPOs cannot be at the same grade pay. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Defence Accounts Dept.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sr. Accounts officer and ACDA (Asst. controller of Defence Accounts) - GP Rs.5400 in PB-3</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Min. of Defence (Civilian):</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Asst. foreman and Foreman - GP Rs.4600 in PB-2,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Assistant and Office Superintendent - GP Rs.4200 in PB-2</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There may be some other posts also in the same grade pay, which will be checked before filing the rejoinder. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even after all going through all these facts, if the Department is not agreed for the same grade pay for IPOs and ASPOs, the merger may be done, as the consent letter already given by the Association. But if the merger is done, it should be given effect from 01.01.2006 only and all the benefits already given to Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC should be allowed to Postal Inspectors also.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The performance of the CGHS is regularly reviewed by the Government. The committee of secretaries has also been regularly reviewing the functioning of the CGHS since December 2008 and has been giving directions to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for making it beneficiary friendly. Some of the recent initiatives are listed below: </div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. <strong>Computerisation</strong>: To keep pace with the modern times, a massive computerisation work has been taken up under CGHS in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre. Computerisation of the CGHS will result in lesser waiting period for beneficiaries at the dispensaries; online placement indents on local chemists, availability of patients profiles; availability of medicine, drugs usage pattern, which enable the CGHS to prepare a realistic of formulary drugs; reduction in use of paper; removal of jurisdictional restriction (as regard the dispensaries) for the beneficiaries, etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <strong>Introduction of Plastic cards</strong>: As part of the computerisation process, it has been decided to plastics cards individually to each beneficiary of the CGHS. This will enable beneficiaries to avail CGHS facility in any city should they happen to be in that city either on official work or on leave. Inter city treatment will be possible after all cities are computerised and networked. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. <strong>Accreditation of hospitals </strong>with National Accreditation Board for hospitals and health care providers (NABH) and lapse with National Accreditation Board for Testing and Caliberation Laboratories (NABL): With a view to providing better quality treatment to CGHS beneficiaries, it was decided that only those private hospitals and diagnostic centres would be empanelled under the CGHS, as have been cleared by the quality Council of India after it carried out inspection of the facilities available at these hospitals and diagnostic centres. It may been decided all the hospitals and laboratories on the panel of CGHS have to get certificates issued by the NABH / NADL under the quality council of India. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. <strong>Medical Audit of Hospital Bills</strong> is an important exercise to assess the quality of services offered and expenditure incurred. In order to be sure that the bills raised by private empanelled hospitals are genuine and that the beneficiaries were required to undergo only that treatment as was required and that the hospital has not forced the beneficiary to undergo unnecessary tests / treatment at the hospital. The job of the medical audit of Hospital bills has been outsourced to TPAs. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. <strong>Holding of Claims Adalats</strong>: Complaints were received in the CGHS and in the Ministry that old cases of reimbursement of medical expenses incurred by pensioners were pending for settlement for long time. It was decided that claims adalats be held in each Zonal office of CGHS, Delhi under the chairmanship of the Additional Directors of the respective zones. Claims adalats were held annually, in each zone (East, Central, South and North Zones) in Delhi, during 2007 and 2008 and over 95% of the claims were settled in those adalats. Encorporated by the success in Delhi, all CGHS cities have been directed to hold claim adalats on annual basis. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. <strong>Local Advisory Committees</strong> Local Advisory Committee meetings are held in each CGHS dispensary on second Saturday on the month attended by the Welfare Officer appointed by the Chief Welfare Officer, Department of Personnel & Training, representatives from pensioners associations, local chemists to resolve problems at dispensary level. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">7. <strong>Decentralisation and delegation of powers</strong>: Ministries / departments have been delegated powers to handle all cases of reimbursement claims if no relaxation of rules was involved. Either they had powers to handle requests upto Rs. 2 Lakh and beyond that amount, the cases were referred to CGHS. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">8. <strong>Rate contract</strong> for purchase of drugs: Dispensaries in Delhi have been permitted to place indent directly on the manufacturers on rate contract basis. The benefit of this arrangement is that dispensaries / CGHS do not have to carry huge inventory of medicines and indents can be placed on a monthly basis depending on the need. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This information was given by Minister for Health and Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in written reply to a question raised in Rajya Sabha today </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Department has sent a letter to two Federations stating that it would constitute a committee to consider re-structuring of Group C Employees.<br />
<br />
The committee will consist of each 3 members from official side and staff side.After the receipt of confirmation letter from the federations, formal orders will be issued by the Department to consititute the committee.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>What about IPOs/ASPOs and PSS Group B officers? we also already demanded to consititute a cadre re- structuring committee but Department yet consider it. A reminder will be issued to the Department shortely.</em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Still the Department is neglecting this cadre?</strong><br />

Respected madam,<br />
<br />
SUB: Request for Constitution of Cadre Restructuring Committee – reg.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A kind reference is invited to the our letter of even no dated 28.09.2009 requesting for the constitution of a cadre restructuring committee for the cadres of IPO/ Assistant managers MMS<br />
It is submitted that the income Tax Department and the Railway Department already constituted a cadre restructuring committee<br />
The Promotional Avenue of IPO cadre is very meager. The 1983 batch is still waiting for their PSS Group B post.<br />
Hence I request you to kindly constitute a cadre restructuring committee for the IPO line officials at the earliest.<br />
Thanking You<br />
<br />
Yours faithfully<br />

<br />
<br />
New regulator on the cards for India Post and private courier firms would fix the tariffs for their services. <br />
<br />
The government has comprehensively re-drafted an earlier Bill on postal regulation with a view to bringing the entire communication industry under a regulatory regime similar to the one for the telecoms sector.<br />
<br />
As per the re-drafted Bill —the Post Office and Courier Services Bill, 2010—which was reviewed by FE, the courier firms would need to register themselves with the regulator—Postal Regulatory Authority of India (PRAI)— and adhere to a set of guidelines for quality of services framed by it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The firms will also have to contribute to a Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) to enable delivery of postal services to financially unviable areas at affordable rates. However, the government has dropped the controversial provision in the original (2006) draft of the Bill which sought to bar private courier firms from carrying packets weighing below 500 gm. Also, in a departure from the original draft, which specified the fee structure for the players, the new Bill has left such matters for the regulator to decide. <br />
<br />
<br />
The size of the Indian courier industry is over Rs 4,000 crore with major players being DHL, FedEx India and DTDC. As per the latest proposal, PRAI will have functions similar to that of telecom regulator Trai. It can suo motu recommend to the government policy measures on the entire gamut of the postal sector. On its part, the government can seek its recommendations on issues of importance. Once PRAI is constituted, all existing courier firms would have to register themselves with it for a 10-year period on payment of a fee.<br />
<br />
<br />
The registration, of course, can be renewed once it expires. The regulator would set eligibility criteria for those wanting to enter the sector in the new regulated regime. <br />
<br />
It would have powers to recommend to the government revocation of licenses of any firm which fails to meet the criteria set out by it. The government (read the department of post and a reinforced Postal Board) would retain the powers to make policies and provide licences. <br />
<br />
A Postal Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal would be set up to arbitrate on disputes between the industry and the regulator, the regulator and the government, industry and the government; and between industry players.
