Resolutions on GDS Problem of STATUS
The 9th All India conference in session at the historic place Sri Uddaneshwara Samudaya Bhavana, Sri Siddaganga math, Kyathasandra, Tumakuru, Dn. Karnataka discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement/improvement.  The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement

1.      Resolution on STATUS:- The Central Government is yet to consider the long pending demand of ED employees (Now GDS) for Grant of Status and pension, despite full justification viz, Supreme Court verdict calling Civil Servants, agreement during strike to appoint one man committee with a specific terms of reference of pension, recommendation of Justice Talwar Committee report, part time/casual labour getting status etc. The status of GDS is not even better than part time casual employees as the contingent employee will get status in case of combination of two posts.  But it is not so in case of GDS who have been performing combined duties.  A meagre allowance of Rs. 250/- is given to the BPM who take the extra burden of 3-5 hours for delivery/mail conveyance.  The Central Government should be a model employer and in order to put an end to this kind of practice, the demand needs to be met with early.  Accordingly the name GDS should be changed to “Gramin Dak Karamchari or Rural Postal Employee”.

Resolutions on GDS Problems
          The 9th All India conference in session at the historic place Sri Uddaneshwara Samudaya Bhavana, Sri Siddaganga math, Kyathasandra, Tumakuru, Dn. Karnataka discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement/improvement.  The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement:-
1.         Grant-eight hours work to all GDS.           All incentives will be abolished and the work will be included in the workload.
2.          HRA should be granted at par with regular employees and Grant GDS Children Education fee.
3.         Transport allowance should be granted to GDS who are working at urban and semi urban places at par with departmental employees.
4.         Promotions/Leave and other benefits:-
i.             Annual increase at par with regular employees, that is 3%.
ii.            Three promotions MACP to all GDS on completion of 10th, 20th, 30th year of their services shall be granted.
iii.           CL, EL etc. like the Departmental Employees should be given to the GDS.
iv.          The period of GDS service should be counted for pension and gratuity to the promotees.
v.            The date of superannuation of GDS should be the last working day of the month of retirement.
vi.          Gratuity should be as per Gratuity Act for GDS also. The present grant of sixty thousand for both Severance amount should be the minimum, that is whichever is more.
vii.         Group Insurance at par with regular employees at least minimum  Rs 10,00,000/-
  5.    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 7th 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. 4500/- in lieu of Severence allowance be assured to those retired/retiring from service on 1.1.2006 to 1.1.2016
II. At least Rs. 2,00,000/- yearly medical coverage for serving and retired GDS employees.
