Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w enhancement in the rates of various allowances by 25% consequent upon Dearness Allowance crossing 100%.

No. GS/AIAIASP/Misc/Inquiry/2014                          dated  :     28/3/2014.

Sub:  Enhancement in the rates of various allowances by 25%   consequent upon Dearness Allowance crossing 100%.

Ref. : Directorate file No. 5-06/2011-PAP dated 24^th January, 2012

Respected Madam,

          The VI CPC in their report had recommended that certain allowances, viz. Children Education Allowance, National Holiday Allowance, Daily Allowance, Washing Allowance, Breakdown Allowance, Special Compensatory Allowance, Cycle Maintenance Allowance, Fixed Conveyance Allowance, Road Mileage Allowance, Special Allowance to various categories of staff etc., should be increased by 25% whenever Dearness Allowance crosses 50%, and this recommendation was duly accepted by the Government of India.

          Based on the above recommendation of the VI CPC, these allowances have since been enhanced by 25% w. e. f. 01.01.2011, i.e. from the date, Dearness Allowance having been crossed 50%.

           Now, as per the MoF OM No. 1/1/2014-EB-II (B) dated 27th March 2014Dearness Allowance has enhanced from existing rate of 90% to 100% w. e. f. 01.01.2014, there is, therefore, gross justification that the above allowances be further enhanced by additional 25%, as Dearness Allowance has again crossed the value of 50% after enhancement of these allowances w.e.f.01.01.2011.

          It is therefore requested to kindly issue necessary instructions to this effect at the earliest. 

    With regards, 

Yours faithfully,

To, 

Ms. P Gopinath,

Secretary (Posts),

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi -110001.  

Subject:    Request for convening supplementary DPC after calculating the actual vacancies including vacancies after repatriation of Group B officer presently working outside their Circles. 

Ref.      :   Directorate Memo No. 9-5/2013-SPG dated 29/1/2014 

Respected Madam,  

          I would like to invite your kind attention to this Association’s letters of even number dated 30/12/2013 and 20/2/2014 vide which it was requested to issue orders for convening supplementary DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B and consider repatriation of all Group B officers who completed one year in outside Circles.  

Directorate vide memo No. 9-5/2013-SPG dated 29/1/2014 has accepted 17 (seventeen) declination of PS Gr. B officers promoted vide Memo No. 9-33/2013-SPG dated 10.10.2013. Last year also such type of orders were issued and then supplementary DPC for the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B was convened under Memo No.9-23/2012-SPG(Pt.) dated 21/6/2013.  

I would like to further add here that supplementary DPC of the left out vacancies from the extended zone of consideration is a part of main DPC and should be convened immediate after completion of one month against left out vacancies so as the officers in the extended zone may not be deprived of their legitimate right and benefits. But despite lapse of more than five months period nothing has been heard in this regard. 

We urge upon you to kindly issue clear instructions to SPG Division of Directorate to convene the supplementary DPC for the vacancies 2013 by the end of this month and also consider the request of officers for repatriation to their parent circle.  

          Hoping for a favourable action.

          Yours sincerely,

Letter to Secretary (Posts) to conduct vigilance inquiry into the death case of IP.

No. GS/AIAIASP/Misc/Inquiry/2014                        dated  :       18/3/2014.

To,

Ms. P. Gopinath,

Secretary (Posts),

Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi 110 001.  

Subject :    Request for initiating vigilance enquiry into the death case of Smt. Mohini Gupta, ASP Ajmer (Rajasthan). 

Respected Madam,

 

          With due deference, it is submitted that IP/ASP Cadre is being cornered and harassed by way of filing frivolous Criminal complaints against them for any untoward incident of misappropriation occurred in their office, sub divisions, at the behest of Administration, that too when the said Incharge /Sub Divisional Head himself has unearthed the unfortunate defalcation incident. In case, it is the accountability aspect, which prompts the Administration to initiate action against the Incharge /Head of Sub Division, then I am sorry to say that the officers in the hierarchy are also equally responsible for the misappropriation being the Incharge of the Division, Region and Circle. There is no immunity to these people and it cannot be said that officers working on these positions do not carry any responsibility. Therefore, the divisional head, DPS, PMG, CPMG etc ought to have been arrayed in the list of offenders while lodging FIR before the independent agencies for investigations.  

          If IP/ASP cadre who detect the scam are not provided any safeguard, then the day would not be far when such officer, fearing their personal involvement, would not dare to report it. One such incident has come to my notice, where the brave differently able female ASP of Rajasthan Circle, who unearthed the misappropriation, who otherwise deserves pat on her back and need encouragement, was made prime offender in the FIR lodged before CBI authorities, by the Rajasthan Circle administration. The said brave differently-abled lady ASP could not bear the impact. She recorded the material facts, findings of the misappropriation case, biased mindset, in a representation dated 19.01.2014 and sent to Secretary (Posts) and Shri Kapil Sibal Hon’ble Cabinet Minister before leaving for heavenly abode on 29.01.2014. In this unfortunate incident, we have not only lost our dedicated, brave, sincere and hardworking officer but also miserably failed to remove stigma against her.  

          I am enclosing herewith a copy of representation dated 19/01/2014 written by late Smt. Mohini Gupta, ASP, Ajmer addressed to Secretary (Posts) and copy endorsed to Shri Kapil Sibal JI Hon’ble Minister for Communication and IT and CPMG Jaipur regarding detection of fraud and harassment at SPC Ajmer. It is learnt that persons involved in the case are still at large. I am also enclosing herewith a copy of letter No. IP/ASP/Raj/Feb./1/2014 dated 28/2/2014 addressed Lt. Col. D. K. S. Chauhan, CPMG, Rajasthan Circle, Jaipur by Bhupendra Parasher, Circle Secretary, AIASP Rajasthan Circle with regard to sad demise of Smt. Mohini Gupta and action against many IPs and ASPs with malicious and biased mind.  

          It is therefore urged upon to pass an order for immediate departmental vigilance enquiry at Directorate level on the points raised by the deceased officer in her representation dated 19/1/2014 to elicit the truth and to bring the real culprits behind bars. It is also requested to device safeguard measures for the IP/ASP cadre in order to avoid any such incident in future. 

          Hoping for an early action and line in reply. 

          Yours Sincerely,

No progress in proposal of merger of ASP cadre in to PS Gr. B cadre.

Dear CS and Office Bearers,  

Kind attention of all Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers is invited to my note dated 19th February 2014 published on blog regarding proposal of merger of ASP cadre in to PS Gr. B cadre. In the said note it was mentioned that Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of following circles will ensure the submission of requisite information called for by Directorate under Memo No. 25-35/2011-PE-I dated 21st January 2014 on or before 20/2/2014, but till today information is not received at Directorate. This vital issue was also discussed at length at AIC held at Bangalore where it was also requested to all the delegates who attended AIC to confirm the submission of requisite information by their circle on their return to duty. After returning from AIC I had issued serious of SMS as well as telephonic calls to concerned CS but all in vein. More than one months period is elapsed and there is no progress from these circles, if everybody do like this, then nothing will be achieved for this cadre and CHQ team will not be held responsible for it. GS is doing at his level best, but unless there is support from all corners, he and his team can't achieve the goal which we all are expecting. We have to work in team and not as individual.  

To speed up this crucial issue, it has been decided to nominate the co-ordinator to each circle who has not submitted their requisite information to Directorate. The following co-ordinator will monitor and ensure receipt of information from circles within a day or two.  

Sl. No.	Name of co-ordinator	Name of circle whose information required	Name of CS and his mobile No.
1	Shri P. Ajit Kumar, AGS-I & ASP (CP) Postal Directorate New Delhi	Bihar	Shri Rajiv Kumar 09431239170
		Chhattisgarh	Shri A. K. Singh 09407624220 09431157362
		UP	Shri Komal Singh 09675290300
		Uttarakhand	Shri Deepak Sharma 09410558639
		Delhi	Shri R. D. Sharma 09868372383
2	Shri Hira Lal, OGS-V & Manager SPC Gurgaon	J&K	-
		Punjab	Shri Balbir Singh Kaushal 09914066754
3	Shri Ajith Kurian, CS Kerala and Manager NSPC Trivandrum	Gujarat	Shri V. R. Shah 09426572244
		Kerala	Shri Ajith Kurian 09447271165
4	Shri Arup Seal CS WB and ASP (HQ) Kolkata Stg. Division	NE	Ms Merry 09436303885
		MP	Shri Ram Jaiswal 09826823805

Therefore it is finally requested to Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of these circles to personally look into this and ensure the submission requisite information by their circles within a day or two. This should be given top priority by Circle Secretaries of above circles or we have forgo this issue.
