Resolutions on Problems Compassionate appointment:- – not rational: Criteria minimum 51 points to be reduced to 30 points as in rural areas every GDS will have a hut/shelter for living, a piece of land without income. For one or the other reason even though deserving cases do not earn required minimum points of 51 has deprived the GDS wards to get compassionate appointment. This is totally unjust and therefore urge upon the concerned to reduce minimum points to 30 instead of the present 51.

With high regards,

Resolutions on Liberalisation of Limited Transfers:- Although the present system has given relief to a few GDS, some more relaxation is felt essential as recruitment to GDS is not with the condition of local selection. Any body from any corner of the country can be appointed to the post. This power to be delegated to PMG,DPS, Divisional heads on the basis of the requests at the level of Circle, Region and the division respectively. As such transfer is once in one’s entire service, the interest of GDS may also be looked into for smooth public work. The authorities should have discretionary powers in exceptional cases.

With high regards,

Resolutions on Contributory SDBS Scheme and Medical coverage:-

1. The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement:-

i. Annual increase at par with regular employees, that is 3%

ii. Group Insurance at par with regular employees at least minimum Rs 500,000/-

2. Contributory New Pension Scheme parity with SDBS Scheme to GDS and Medical coverage:-

I. On Social Security, Pension, it is disappointing to see that no acceptance has been made for the contributory Pension Scheme although SDBS. This is a vital issue for us. Contributory pension at par with regular employees, as recommended by 6th CPC, may be granted to GDS Officials.

Monthly Service Discharge benefit(like Pension/NPS) to those not covered under SDBS: A monthly regular income, a social security is to be assured to a section who have rendered service upto 65 years and the lump sum grant is never a scheme of Pension or NPS. A minimum of Rs.2000/- in lieu of Severence allowance be assured to those retired/retiring from service on 1.1.2006 to 1.4.2014

II. At least Rs. 100,000/- yearly medical coverage for serving and retired GDS employees.

Sir,

You are requested kindly to consider the views put forth in the resolution and cause to issue necessary orders accordingly.

With high regards,

Resolutions on Grant of full trade union facilities to AIGDSU:-

The provision of trade union facilities is a genuine and long pending demand. At present very limited trade union facilities are available to the chief executives of AIPEDEU. Some effective mechanism should be provided to the chief executives to carry out the function of the union.

The CCS (RSA) rules 1993 have been issued by the department of personal & Training. The issues of EDAs (Recognition of Association) Rules 1995 were issued by the department of Posts, in department of the D.O.P. & T., In this connection it is not out of order to mention that the GDS (Conduct & Employment) Rules 2001 also have been issued by the Department of Posts. Several amendments/provisions have been carried out or added to these rules to meet the requirements of the situation by the department and also grant JCM/RJCM facilities to G.D.S Staff.

We therefore suggest and demand that full trade union rights and Privileges i.e., grant of Foreign service under the F.R. and S.R. to the Chief Executive be granted.

Your effective intervention and initiation will be of great value and for that the entire Gramin Dak Sevak will be thankful.
