Madam
Sub:-- Point based system
for assessing indigence in respect of GDS Staff
You are aware that the existing
point based system for assessing
indigence in respect of GDS staff has
been review and revised. The undersigned is a party of this decision. During
the course of discussion, it was agreed to that the merit points be reduced
from 51 to 36 points and the revised provisions will be given effect to, taking the date of death as cut off date. In
other words the revised provisions would be applicable to past cases also.
Accordingly orders have been issued through Directorate letter No.
17-17/2010-GDS Dt. 17-12-2015.
It has been brought to the
notice of this Union that some circles are not following the above orders and rejecting the requests made by
some GDS staff for review, whose cases have been rejected on the plea that they
did not get 51 points. The CPMG AP Circle Hyderabad went a step further and
issued orders through his letter No. RE/CA/GDS/Misc/2015-16 Dt. 15-03-2016
reproduced below.(copy enclosed)
The chief PMG has no power to modify
or supercede the orders issued by the Directorate without the approval of
DG(P). By issuing such order the chief
PMG partially nullified the scheme depriving the dependents of many deceased
GDS staff to get Compassionate appointment even though they obtained adequate
points, say 36 to 50 points. The orders of the chief PMG AP Circle Hyderabad
shattered the hopes of many families of deceased GDS employees, who are in dire
distress and badly, in need of financial assistance His order have to be
modified immediately.
According to revised orders Compassionate
appointment has to be provided to the dependents of deceased GDS staff if they
obtain 36 points. As the date of death is the criteria these orders are also
applicable to those who secured more than 36 points and less than 51 points and
whose cases have been rejected . All such cases have to be reviewed in the
light of the revised orders and
considered for Compassionate appointments suo motu.
May I therefore, request you
to be kind enough to suspend the operation of the irregular orders issued by
the chief PMG AP Circle Hyderabad and cause to issue suitable instructions to
all the circles to implement the orders of the Postal Directorate. Further
instructions may also be issued to review and
consider past cases also taking the
date of death as criteria, as per the
revised orders.
I shall be thankful, if
the instructions issued are endorsed to this Union.
Yours Sincerely,
(D Kishan Rao)
General Secretary
