Resolution on Special Duty Allowance:-
SPECIAL DUTY ALLOWANCE:- The 8th All India conference in session at the
historic place Warangal/ Hanumakonda A.P. Circle from 8th to 10th June, 2014 discussed at length various
burning issues concerning GDS in N.E. Region unanimously resolves that the
recommendations of Sixth CPC, "Department of Expenditure" issued
orders in OM No. 11(5)2008-E.II(B) dated 29-08`-2008, regulating various
allowances to the civilian employees posted in the States and Union Territories
of North Eastern Region. The most
important factor for the consideration of the Committee was the risk and
dangers involved in discharging functions and duties of the Civil servants in
the said regions due to the prevailing insurgency. Various facilities, concessions, and
allowances were extended to the employees posted in the North East Region by
virtue of the above cited order, one among them being the special duty allowance
at the rate of 12.5 % of basic pay. Thereafter the Special Duty allowance was
paid to the employees working in the region in the same atmosphere such
risks and dengers at par with regular employees. Therefore, the same Allowance or a similar may
be extended to Postal Gramin Dak Sevaks also who are working in the region.

Resolutions on Incentives for promoting small
family norms to the G.D.S.:-
A need has come to
examine and extend the benefit of incentives for promoting small family norms
to the Gramin Dak Sevaks. A period of about 68 years of independence of India
these GDS Employees are deprived of the benefits of the Govt. of India's
National policy. We request you kindly to look into this matter personally and
cause to issue necessary orders for grant of incentive equal to one annual
increase to the eligible Gram Dak Sevaks so that we need not feel
discrimination in this behalf.

Resolutions on Uttarakhand
Allowance:- In 1966, the then
communication Minister and the Director General of post and Telecom department
have taken personal initiative and an
amount of Rs. Forty(40/-) per year was granted considering the need for
purchase of warm clothes and shoes in view of the prevailing climatic
condition. The GDS working in
Uttarakhand, Pitoragarh, Almora, Tehri Ghadwal and Chamoli are the places where
the allowance is granted. Even after a
lapse of 43 years, since 1966, the allowance is not revised and the hardship of
the GDS is inexplicable. An amount equivalent to the actual price of the
clothes and shoes was geanted, at that time when the consolidated allowance of
ED Agents varied from Rs.25/- to Rs.35/- per month was paid. This allowance was
paid in September in the case of ED Agents who worked regularly for six months
from March onwards. No other type of compensatory allowance is being paid to ED
Agents working in other parts of the country.
Gramin Dak Sevaks, like the whole-time departmental
employees, are also subject to the vagaries of nature and are subject to
similar hardships. If the whole-time employees, who continue to stay in such a
place for years, are entitled to remote locality, hill compensatory, border
allowance, etc. there is no reason to deny such compensatory allowance to ED
Agents on the ground that they are locals. This Committee, therefore,
recommends that the ED Agents should be granted the various types of
compensatory allowances subject to the same conditions as are applicable to the
whole-time employees. However, in that event, the Uttarakhand Allowance will
have to be discontinued. In this regard we urge the administration to grant the
Uttarakhand allowances at least Rs.10000/- per year which will be commensurate
with the rate of present allowances.

Problems - Provision of special amenities to the Gramin Dak Sevak working in

Madam,
A resolution adapted by the 8th All India

Resolutions on Provision of special amenities to the
Gramin Dak Sevak working in odd situations in hilly areas:- Keeping
in view the geographical and climatic condition of the country, the G.D.S. are
working in a pitiable condition as compare to other employees of Govt. of India
and they face much difficulties on account of odd climatic and geographical
condition remoteness of areas, dangerous hilly routes of traveling, snow falls,
land slides etc. A brief description of hardships faced by the employees is submitted
as under and the proposals for redressal of the grievances are also noted
against each.
2. Remoteness of
areas: Most of the hilly areas
are not so easy of access. These areas are generally spread over in remote
corners of hills and high mountains much far away from Rail or Bus heads. The
employees have to travel on foot. The essential commodities are rarely
available and at a very high cost. No basic facilities are available there. The
Departmental employees are compensated in the form of remote locality
allowance/Border area allowance/Difficult area allowance, backward area
allowance. But the E.D. employees (G.D.S) are deprived from the same. A
provision of such risk allowance should also be made to the Gramin Dak Sevaks
e.g. in places like J&K, Uttarakhand, North East, Sikkim etc.

Grant of
Naxalist Threat Area Allowance: According to O.M. No. 2003/5/90-E.II (B) dated
27-01-93 of Ministry of Finance, the compensatory allowance shall be paid to
Central Government employees during which he serves the tribal areas and the
orders shall remain in operation up to the date of withdrawal of such allowance
by the State Government. Accordingly the
allowance was in operation till 31-03-2002 and the postal officials were paid
with Tribal Area Allowance.
After 31-03-2002, the
State Governments like Maharashtra discontinued the payment of Tribal Area
Allowance to their employees working in Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts and
granted Naxalist Threat Area Allowance at the rate of 15% of the basic pay
subject to a maximum of Rs. 1500/- per month.
The same allowance has
not been paid to the postal officials who are working in these and inaccessible
forests and facing the horrified problems as in the case of State Government
employees. The same is the position in respect of Andhra Circle, Jharkhand,
Orissa,Chattisgharh, W.B. Circle and Karnataka the threat is visible.

Resolutions on - Regarding Allowances:-
(i) Payment of Rs. 100/- as
OMA is inadequate in these days of spiraling cost of living. Payment of
Electricity charges should also be taken note of. Hence Rs. 100/- be enhanced
to Rs. 1000/- P.m.
(ii) Ceiling
fixed for cash conveyance at the rate of Rs. 50/- should be removed. We cannot
predict as to when and how many days the surplus cash will have to be conveyed
in a month. Hence the ceiling should be removed. On the other hand it may be
fixed at the rate of Rs. 150/- for each occasion. i.e., Five times of the old
rate formula without any ceiling.
(iii) By the condition of removing minimum
distance factor of 10 km for grant of cycle maintenance allowance, that means,
all the GDS, MD/MC/Packer duties will be treated as cyclable beats and the TRCA
would be drastically reduced. Special considerations are necessary to resolve
this issue as the work of these categories of GDS need to be assessed on the
practicality the section is to be treated a multi skilled GDS like departmental
staff. For this section foot beat
formula need to be made applicable as in the past.
(iv) As regards combination of duties no
combined duties are to be attached if the incumbent is having 5 hrs work load.
By the addition of Delivery or mail conveyance work etc, the total work load
would become more than 5hrs say about 7 hrs which would justify for
regularization of the post. So we must demand for the up gradation of the post
as Group 'D' or postman as the case may be.
(v) Compensation of Rs. 12/- per day for detention
of mails is totally inadequate. Based on the hourly rate of TRCA fixed for the
GDS a minimum of Rs.100/- should be paid per hour of detention. Considering the
above facts our demands should be as follows.
(Vi) Revise Boot
allowance Rs 30/- to Rs- 600/-

Resolutions on Incentive to GDS
Sports Persons:- Presently GDS are recruited for sports proficiency mainly in the field of
Kabaddi, foot ball, cricket, carom, volley ball, etc. However after recruitment there is a
grievance that the welfare of sports persons is neglected. There are however very proficient persons in
this field who are ranking at state and All India level and even some are at
international level. It is therefore
suggested in order to encourage sportsmen, the following measures are proposed.
1. Suitable training schedule and time off.
2. Better equipment and sports uniforms.
3. Food and dieting allowance to sustain stamina, particularly
weight lifters/body builders.
4. Better promotional avenues, especially
those representing All India Postal meet.
