Non revision of OTA rate-it is a policy decision of the government
One of the service Association has filed CAT case in Madras Bench in connection with the revision of Overtime Allowance.
Hon’ble CAT Madras Bench in their judgement dated 9th April 2013 stated that ''prior to 5th CPC, all Non-Gazetted employees in receipt of monthly basic pay of upto Rs. 2200/- were entitled to OTA for performing duties beyond the designated working hours. The 5th CPC had recommended abolition of OTA for all categories except the Staff Car Driver, Operational Staff and Industrial employees. But, it recommended that the staff deployed on weekly off days should be given a compensatory leave rather than any cash compensation in the form of OTA or otherwise. However, the said recommendations were not accepted and status-quo was maintained as per the recommendations of the 4th CPC. It is also seen that the rate of OTA fixed and the ceiling by the Nodal Ministry viz. Department of Personnel and Training, consequent on the recommendation of 4th CPC have not been revised by the said Ministry. As rightly contended by the respondents, unless the said Nodal Ministry approves the proposal sent by the Department of Posts for revision of OTA rate, they are not in position to revise the OTA rates on its own and it is a policy decision of the Government. In other word hence Honble CAT Madras bench dismissed the case.

Office Memorandum
Sub: – Software (e-PPO utility) for processing pension cases
1. Optimum utilization of manpower with speed and accuracy has been a thrust from the time immemorial. The revolution in Information Technology has made it possible to overcome it to a greater extent. So far, in Central Pension Accounting Office Special Seal Authorities authorizing the banks for making payments of pensions have been generated after feeding the relevant data manually based on special seal authorities received from different Pay & Accounts Officers. On the basis of this feeding data-base of pensioners is updated in Central Pension Accounting Office.
2. But the manual feeding of data involves engagement of lot of manpower which takes considerable time and leaves scope of clerical errors at the part of Central Pension Accounting Office leading to improper maintenance of Central Pension Accounting Office’s data-base, wastage of manpower, over/under payment and delay in payment.
3. To obviate the above situation and to facilitate PAOs of Central Civil Ministries/ Departments to issue the PPOs electronically of all Govt. Servants retiring from June, 2013 onwards, the 0/o the CGA and Central PensionAccounting Office has developed a software for uploading the e-PPO. The facility for preparation/ generation of text file for Central Pension Accounting Office’s databank is available in the Pension Module of COMPACT.
4. The Pay & Accounts Offices may upload the text file on Central Pension Accounting Office’s website www.cpao.nic.in in the following manner:-
Login (using User ID & Password of Annexure-III) —> e-PPO uploading —> PPO upload –> PPO and nominee upload Form 1 A upload file –> submit. The PAOs have to upload both PPO and nominee details.
5. The Other procedure i.e. sending of PPO and hard copy of SSA etc. will remain unchanged. This issues with the approval of Addl. Controller General of Accounts.

Dot, dash, full stop: Telegram service ends July 15
Coming July 15, one of India’s oldest communication
services — the telegram — will become history. Financial constraints
have forced the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd to wind up the telegraphic
service, which would be remembered mainly as a historically inexpensive
but relatively quick method of sending alerts related to births, deaths
and emergency situations.
“The growing use of mobile
phones and Internet has led to steep decline in the usage of the
telegraphic service…it [the telegram] has become financially unviable.
After stopping telegram service for overseas communication earlier this
year, we have now decided to discontinue it for the domestic market from
July 15. The BSNL Board has already approved it. Final clearance is now
being sought from the Department of Telecommunications,” a senior BSNL
official told
The Hindu
.
In India, the first telegraph message was
transmitted live through electrical signals between Calcutta (now
Kolkata) and Diamond Harbour, a distance of about 50 km, on November 5,
1850; and the service was opened for the general public in February
1855.
Over the years, the BSNL made several technical
upgrades in the telegraph service, with the latest being the
introduction of a web-based messaging system in 2010. However, growing
Internet penetration and cheaper mobile phones in the last decade have
kept people away from the 182 telegraph offices across the country.
“In
May 2011, we revised telegram charges after six decades to arrest
declining revenues…but it did not work. It is estimated that the BSNL is
suffering an annual loss of Rs.300 - 400 crore from its telegraph
service alone. As it has virtually become redundant, it is prudent to
shut it down. However, there will be no job cuts and all those working
in telegraph offices will perform other jobs related to telephone and
Internet services,” the official added. The BSNL’s financial performance
in recent years has been alarming. From a profit of Rs. 575 crore in
2008-09, the telecom giant has been reporting massive losses for the
last three years.

Representation from Government servant on service matters - Dopt Order
No.11013/08/2013-Estt.(A)-III
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training
North Block, New Delhi
Dated the 6th June, 2013
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Representation from Government servant on service matters.
The undersigned is directed to refer to the Ministry of Home Affair’s O.M No.118/52-Ests. dated the 30th April, 1952, O.M No. 25/34/68-Estt.(A) dated the 20th December, 1968 and this Department’s O.M No.11013/07/1999-Estt.(A) dated the 1st November, 1999 (copies enclosed for ready reference) on the above mentioned subject. This Department is receiving a number of representations, on service matters, addressed to the Prime Minister / Minister / Secretary (P) and other officers directly from the Government servants.
2. It has been envisaged in these instructions that whenever, in any matter connected with his service rights or conditions, a Government servant wishes to press a claim or to seek redress of a grievance, the proper course for him is to address his immediate official superior, or the Head of his office, or such other authority at the lowest level as is competent to deal with the matter. Of late, it is observed that there is an increasing tendency on the part of officers at different levels to by-pass the prescribed channels of representation and write directly to the high functionaries totally ignoring the prescribed channels. The problem is more acute in large Departments where often very junior employees at clerical level address multiple representations to the Minster, Prime Minister and other functionaries. Apart from individual representations, the service unions have also developed a tendency to write to the Ministers and Prime Minister on individual grievance. Some of these representations are often forwarded through Members of Parliament, in violation of Rule 20 of the CCS (Conduct) Rule, 1964.
3. Existing instructions clearly provide that representations on service matters should be forwarded through proper channel. The stage at which an advance copy of the representation may be sent to higher authorities has also been indicated. In MHA O.M. No. 25/34/68-Estt.(A) dated 20.12.68 time limits for disposal of various types of representations have been prescribed. If it is anticipated that an appeal or petition cannot be disposed of within a month of its submission, an acknowledgement or interim reply should be sent to the individual within a month.
4. Thus adequate instructions are available in the matter of submission of representations by the Government servants and treatment of the representations by the authorities concerned. As such submission of representations directly to higher authorities by- passing the prescribed channel of communication, has to be viewed seriously and appropriate disciplinary action should be taken against those who violate these instructions as it can rightly be treated as an unbecoming conduct attracting the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.
5. It is again reiterated that these instructions may be brought to the notice of all Govt. servants and appropriate disciplinary action may be taken against those who violate these instructions.

Under Secretary to the Government of India
Copy of the Office Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated 30th April, 1952
Representations from Government Servants on service matters — advance copies.
Reference are frequently received in this Ministry enquiring whether the submission of advance copies of representations to higher authorities is permissible and as to the treatment that should be accorded to such copies. The matter has been carefully considered and the following instructions are issued for the guidance of al concerned
2. Whenever, in any matter connected with his service rights or conditions, a Government servant wishes to press a claim or to seek redress of a grievance, the proper course for him is to address his immediate superior official, or the Head of office, or such other authority at the lowest level as he is competent to deal with the matter. An appeal or representation to a higher authority must not be made unless the appropriate lower authority has already rejected the claim or refused relief or ignored or unduly delayed the disposal of the case. Representations to still higher authorities (.e.g. those addressed to the President, the Government or to Hon’ble Minister) must be submitted through the proper channel (i.e, the Head of Office, etc. concerned). There will be no objection at that stage, but only at that stage to an advance copy of the representation being sent direct.
3. The treatment by the higher authorities of advance copies of representations so received should be governed by the following general principles —
(a) If the advance copy does not clearly show that all means of securing attention or redress from lower authorities have been duly tried and exhausted, the representation should be ignored or rejected summarily on that ground, the reasons being communicated briefly to the Government servants. If the Government servant persists in this prematurely addressing the higher authorities, suitable disciplinary action should be taken against him.
(b) If the advance copy shows clearly that all appropriate lower authorities have been duly addressed and exhausted, it should be examined to ascertain whether on the facts as stated, some grounds for interference or for further consideration, prima facie exist. Where no such grounds appear, the representation may be ignored or summarily rejected , the reasons being communicated briefly to the Government servant.
(C) Even where some grounds for interference or further consideration appear to exist, the appropriate lower authority should be asked. within a reasonable time, to forward the original representation, with its report and comments on the points urged. There is ordinarily no justification for the passing of any orders on any representation without thus ascertaining the comments of the appropriate lower authority.
4. Some Government servants are in the habit of sending copies of their representations also to outside authorities, i.e. authorities who are not directly concerned with the consideration thereof (e.g. other Honorable Minister, Secretary, Members of Parliament, etc). This is a most objectionable practice, contrary to official propriety and subversive of good discipline and all Government servants are expected scrupulously to eschew it.
Copy of the Office Memorandum No. 25/34/68-Estt.(A) Dated 20.12.1968
Representations from Government servants on service matters — Treatment of
Reference is invited to the Ministry of Home Affairs Office Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated the 30th April, 1952 on the subject mentioned above (copy enclosed for ready reference). It has been brought to the notice of the Ministry of Home Affairs that undue delay occurs very often in the disposal of representations from Government servants in regard to matters connected with the service rights or conditions which causes hardship to the individuals concerned.
2. The representations from Government servants on service matters may be broadly classified as follows :-
(1) Representations/complaints regarding non-payment of salary/allowances or othe dues.
(2) Representations on other service matters,
(3) Representations against the orders of the immediate superior authority: and
(4) Appeals and petitions under statutory rules and orders (e.g. Classification Control and Appeal Rules and the petition Instructions).
3. In regard to representations of the type mentioned at (1) and (2) above, if the individual has not received a reply thereto within a month of its submission, he could address, or ask for an interview with the next higher officer for redress of his grievances. Such superior officer should immediately send for the papers and take such action as may be called for, without delay.
4. Representations of the type mentioned at (3) above, would be made generally only in cases where there is no provision under the statutory rules or orders for making appeals or petitions. Such representations also should be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. ‘The provisions of the preceding paragraph would apply to such representations also, but not to Later representations made by the same Government servant on the same subject after his earlier representation has been disposed off appropriately.
5. In regard to the representations of the type mentioned at (4) above, although the relevant rules or orders do not prescribe a time limit for disposing of appeals and petitions by the competent authority, it should be ensured that all such appeals and petitions receive prompt attention and are disposed within a reasonable time. If it is anticipated that an appeal or a petition cannot be disposed of within a month of its submission, an acknowledgement or an interim reply should be sent to the individual within a month.
6. The instructions contained in paragraph 2 of this Ministry’s Office Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated the 30th April, 1952, will stand modified to the extent indicated in the paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 above.

Department of Posts to seek Cabinet nod for Rs 1900 crore funds
NEW DELHI: Department
of Posts has started inter-ministerial
consultations for seeking Cabinet approval on around Rs 1,900 crore fund
requirement to start Post Banks in the country.
"DoP will need around Rs 1,900 crore to start Post Banks in the country. This includes Rs 500 crore paid-up capital required under new banking licence guidelines and rest is for other capital adequacy norms that Post Banks will need to fulfil. Cabinet note has gone to various ministries to seek their views," a government official told PTI.
The Department of Posts (DoP) has plans to apply for banking licence to offer full-fledged banking services along with postal services through post offices.
The RBI has issued comprehensive guidelines for new bank licences. It has fixed July 1 as the last date for filing application by interested entities.
The DoP has proposed to start 50 bank branches in the first year and scale it to a total of 150 branched in 5 years.
There are around 90,000 bank branches in the country and provision of real-time banking services through postal network is estimated to triple the current banking network.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram in this year's Budget speech said Post offices will become part of the core banking solution ( CBS) and offer real time banking services. He proposed provision of Rs 532 crore for the project in 2013-14.
The Post Banks are proposed to be owned by DoP but with a completely independent board, governance structure and operations. It will have representation from Ministries of Finance and Communication & IT.
"The branches in first phase will be opened in tier 1 to even very small cities with foucs on rural and retail micro, small and medium enterprises," the official said.
India postal network has 1,54,822 post offices in the country. Of these, 1,39,086 are in rural areas and 15,736 are in urban regions.

Impact of raising retirement age from age 60 to 62
It has been seen that one of the
long time waging demand of raising the retirement age of govt employees has
finally caught afire
Through the Medias and blogging
sites re abound with news that the cabinet would announce news regarding the
retirement age yet it has not been finalizes
Even then it has been come to known
that a favorable decision would be put forth regarding this issue due to the
oncoming lok sabha and three state assembly elections.
In India the retirement ages of most
of the state government employees range from 58 to 60. This is low in
comparison to the government employees of foreign nation.
We shall see the effect of raising
the retirement age in the following passage
Advantage
1. If only 7th pay
commission would be implemented in the year 2016 those retiring in the year
span 2014 -2016 would be greatly benefitted.
2. Economically the employees would
be in better position due to this rise of the age of superannuation
3. The pension amount and the other
beneficiaries would also increase along side
4. There this chance of imparting
fruitful experience to the subordinates or new recruit by those benefitted by
rise in retirement age
5. More over there is chance of
getting an additional MACP by the central govt employees
6. A good health psychological
effect would prevail in their minds due to this boon of rising their
Retirement age and thus removing
their fatigue
Disadvantage
1. Promotion would be greatly
affected due to no retirement in the long span
2. Unemployment would come in to
being due to the increase in retirement age
3. Output of work would be greatly
affected if the retirement age of unhealthy employees would be increased.
This announcement would not be
received in praise among those searching for employment in general
Moreover among the retirement
employees this decision is receiving a mixed response as some welcome while
others detest it

It was the spirit of Sri Dalapati ,that Jatni MDG functioned even in acute staff shortage as he managed every branch of the office very gracefully. His transfer is really a loss for this division. N.A.P.E. Puri division wishes all sucess to Sri Dalapati for future.
