Sub: Submission
of Memorandum on long pending demands.
Sir,
It
is to bring to your kind notice that on so many occasions, we as PJCA have
raised our long pending genuine demands before the Department. But it is highly
regretted that no effective steps have been taken by the Department to mitigate
the problems causing more sufferings to the employees.
After
introduction of technology in the form of CBS/CSI/CIS/MNOP/PNOP & now RICT
the staff is suffering very much. We are bringing all the problems being faced
by the staff at ground level separately on each subject but no solution is
coming out.
A
meeting of Postal Joint Council of Action consisting NFPE,FNPO,AIPEU-GDS &
NUGDS was held at FNPO Office. T-24, Atul Grove Road New Delhi on 13.07.2019. In the meeting all General Secretaries,
of NFPE, FNPO AIPEU-GDS and NUGDS participated. After thorough discussion, PJCA
has come to the conclusion that a memorandum should be submitted to Secretary (Post)
for settlement of demands as mentioned in the Charter of Demands enclosed here
with.
We
request you to kindly arrange one meeting with office bearers of PJCA to
discuss the issues and settle the same as early as possible failing which we
(PJCA) will be compelled to launch agitational programmes in a phased manner.
With
regards

PENSIONARY BENEFITS UNDER NPS ON VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT -- PIB NEWS
The features and
benefits under National Pension System (NPS) and the old pension scheme are
independent. Under NPS, there is a provision for voluntary retirement/exit
prior to the age of superannuation, without linking it with the minimum number
of 20 years of service.
As per Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (Exits
and Withdrawals under the National Pension System) Regulations, 2015, and
amendments there under, the provisions for voluntary retirement/exit and the
benefits available/ allowed under NPS to employees of Central Government who
voluntary retires are as follows:
“3(b) where the subscriber who, before attaining the age of
superannuation prescribed by the service rules applicable to him or her,
voluntarily retires or exits, then at least eighty per cent out of the
accumulated pension wealth of the subscriber shall mandatorily be utilized for
purchase of annuity and the balance of the accumulated pension wealth, after
such utilization, shall be paid to the subscriber in lump sum or he shall have
a choice to collect such remaining pension wealth in accordance with the other
options specified by the Authority from time to time, in the interest of the
subscribers”
Further, as informed by the Department of Pension and
Pensioners’ Welfare, the benefit of retirement gratuity and death gratuity has
been extended to Government employees covered under NPS on the same terms and
conditions as are applicable under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.
Recently, vide Gazette Notification dated 31.01.2019, the
mandatory contribution by the Central Government for its employees covered
under NPS Tier-I has been enhanced from the existing 10% of basic pay +DA to
14% of basic pay + DA. The employees’ contribution rate would remain at the
existing 10% of basic pay + DA. There is no proposal to increase the
contribution to 20 per cent from 14 per cent under NPS.
This was stated by Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Minister of State
for Finance & Corporate Affairs in a written reply to a question in Rajya
Sabha today.

Subject:- Submission of

It has been the experience of this Department that the Senior
Pensioners i.e. the pensioners 80 years and above are facing a lot of
difficulties standing in queues while giving the Life Certificates in November.
It has been under the consideration of the Government to provide some relief to
such pensioners.
2. It has therefore, been decided by the Government, that Senior
Pensioners aged 80 years and above be allowed to give their Life Certificate
w.e.f 1st October every year instead of November which would be valid till 30th
November of the subsequent year.
3. The remaining pensioners below the age of 80 years may
continue to give their Life Certificate in November as per existing provisions
of CPAO Scheme booklet.
This has the approval of competent authority.
