POSTAL JCA OF NFPE & FNPO
CALLS UPON TO ORGANISE NATIONWIDE
PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS / DHARNA
DEMANDING IMMEDIATE ORDERS BY FINANCE
FOR RAISING THE BONUS CEILING TO 3500/-
Dear Comrades!
The Central Government had already through its Ordnance amended the Bonus Act to raise the bonus ceiling from Rs.2500/- to Rs.3500/- and the same was Gazette notified also.
The Staff Side Secretary to the National Council JCM had already wrote letters to the Secretary Expenditure and the Secretary DOPT demanding immediate orders to raise the same in respect of all Central Government Employees also.
The leaders of the Confederation also have been moving with the Finance Ministry to get the orders issued by the Ministry of Finance but the issue is being delayed unnecessarily. We are given to understand that the file is on the table of the Honourable Finance Minister who will decide about the course of action to be taken in this matter.
The Central Government Employees all over the country are very eagerly awaiting the orders and the delay is causing lot of resentment and anxiety. It was anticipated that the orders will be issued before Diwali Festival but even after the festival no orders are forthcoming from the Ministry of Finance. The Central Government Employees cannot be ignored when the Bonus Act had already been amended by the Government with retrospective effect from 1.4.2006 and all other section of the workers are being paid the bonus at the enhanced level.
The Confederation of Central Government Employees has therefore issued a call to all its affiliates to organise immediate protest demonstrations and dharna all over the country by mobilizing the entirety of our work force and send Telegrams / Savingrams to Shri. P.Chidambaram, Honourable Finance Minister, Government of India, North Block, New Delhi – 110001. The Call of the Confederation and the text of the Telegram are reproduced below. The Postal JCA of NFPE and FNPO calls upon all its affiliated Unions / Circle Unions / Divisional and Branches to launch the above programme of action with all our might. The Circle Secretaries are requested to circulate this call to all their branches requesting them to hold the programme successfully as and when they receive the circular from the Circle Secretaries. [Please note that there is no specific date to hold the programme] This method is resorted to considering the urgency of the issue.
Comradely Yours

Dear Comrades,
As you are aware., the Government took the decision to raise the bonus ceiling for the purpose of computation from Rs 2500 to Rs 3500 after more than a decade. As per the Press Information Bureau release, this decision of the cabinet is applicable to the bonus payable to the workers for the FY 2006-07 onwards. The Adhoc and productivity linked bonus in the case of CG Employees were declared and paid in Sept. Oct. 2007.
Confederation has taken up this issue with the Government. The Secretary of the Staff Side of the JCM National council had also written to the Secretary, Expenditure and Secretary Personnel, indicating the need for making this applicable to the CGEs. for the year 2006-07 and revise the orders issued in respect of PLB and adhoc bonus. We have been informed by the Officials in the Finance Ministry that the proposal is awaiting the approval of the Finance Minister. Perhaps this may require the sanction from the cabinet too as that has been the procedure adopted in the earlier occasion. Since the matter is being unduly delayed for no ostensible reason as the Finance Minister was party to the earlier cabinet decision for raising the ceiling limit to Rs 3500,the Confederation desires that Demonstration/Dharna should be organized in front of all Offices and send the following telegram/Saving gram to Shri P. Chidambaram, Finance Minister, Govt. of India, North Block, New Delhi- 110 001. The programme of action may be carried out immediately on receipt of this letter by the Units of all affiliates. The affiliates are requested to kindly convey the decision to their branches and units so that the programme will have wider participation and create sanction to compel the Govt. to take an expeditious and positive decision in this matter. We are sending this communication through our e-mail and copy of the same has been placed in our web-site. Programme may be carried out as and when the message is received by the State/Divisional/Branches. Confederation has also sent SMS to all the National Executive Members.
