Sub:- Wrong mention eligibility-period for grant of ex-gratia gratuity to GDS employees as existing prior to the implementation of recommendations of Nataraja Murti Committee-correction to be made.
Ref: Annexure III to your office letter No. 6-1/2009.PE II dated 9.10.2009
Madam,
In respect of grant of gratuity it has been mentioned in Annexure-III of the above letter that the eligible period for grant of ex-gratia gratuity to the GDS employees as existing (prior to the issue of the letter) was 15 years. This is totally incorrect and Sri Nataraja Murti probably made such a recommendation with incorrect period to show that he was sympathetic towards GDS employees. The period for grant of ex-gratia gratuity has all along been ten years (and never 15 year) as can be seen from several letters issued by the Directorate beginning from DGP&T letter No. 43-48/64-Pen dated 16.1.1968 and ending with DG(P) letters NO. 29/87-PE-II/ED&Trg. dated 7.1.1993.
Youare, therefore, requested kindly to make necessary correction to this incorrect mention of periodically.
With regards,
