Postal Services Board :
The Commission has examined the demand for granting apex
level to the members of the PSB and is of the view that adequate functional
justification for the same does not exist. ( Para 11.8.11)
The Commission however is no t in favour of creating an
additional post of member to discharge the financial function and is of the
view that the portfolios of the six members can be so re-arranged that the need
to create a new post of Member is obviated. ( Para 11.8.12)
IPS (Group – A):
In so far as Director, National Postal Academy is
concerned, the view taken is that functional justification from upgrading the
post to Apex level does not exist. As far as the rest of the demands for
upgradation / creation of posts are concerned, these are administrative
matters, which may be taken up with the concerned departments in the
government. ( Para 11.8.15)
Postmaster Cadre :
The Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the
posts of Senior Post Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master
Gr.III through seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post
Masters’ cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted
to appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent of
the Senior Postmasters’ posts ( Para 11.8.18)
Inspector Cadre :
The Commission, therefore, recommends that Inspector
(Posts) who are presently in the GP 4200 should be upgraded to GP 4600. With
this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical grade pay
as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent of Posts (ASPOs). A
higher grade would thus need to be extended to ASPOs. Accordingly, the
Commission recommends that the promotional post of ASPOs be placed in the next
higher GP 4800 and further, the post of Superintendent (Posts), which is
presently in the GP 4800, be moved up to GP 5400 (PB-2). ( Para 11.8.21)
Postal Assistants / Sorting Assistants / LSG / HSG-II /
HSG-I:
The Commission is of the view that there is no
justification for enhancement of minimum educational qualifications for
Direct Recruits for Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants from Class XII to
Graduation and the entry grade pay from GP 2400 to GP 2800. No justification
for upgrading LSG, HSG-II & HSG-I (Para 11.8.23 & 11.8.24)
P A ( SBCO) :
The Commission is therefore of the view that no
upgradation is warranted. As regards grant of cash handling allowance, the
Commission is of the view that with the spread of banking and internet based
payments coming into vogue there is no merit in granting an allowance for
handling cash. ( Para 11.8.27).
Postman :
The Commission has noted the entry level qualifications
prescribed (Class X or ITI for MTS) as also the work content, and is of the
view that there is no justification for further raising the entry grade pay of
Postman. ( Para 11.8.29)
Mail Guard :
As no modification in the grade pay of Postman is
recommended, the Mail Guard shall also be placed in same pay level. ( Para
11.8.33)
Multi Tasking Staff :
No upgrade is considered necessary for either
MTS-domestic or MTS-foreign posts. ( Para 11.8.37)
Binders :
There is no justification for raising the entry grade pay
as sought. ( Para 11.8.39)
Artisans :
The Commission is of the view that no anomaly exists in
the present pay structure of these posts. The cadre of artisans in the
Department of Posts shall accordingly be extended only the corresponding
replacement level of pay. ( Para 11.8.43)
Translation Officer :
The Commission, therefore, suggests that a comparative
study of the job profiles be carried out by the department to arrive at the
precise job content and a view taken thereafter. ( Para 11.8.45)
Technical Supervisors :
No upgrade is recommended. (11.8.47)
Gramin Dak Sewaks:
The Commission has carefully considered the demand and
noted the following:
a. GDS
are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in
rural areas.
b. As
per the RRs, the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post
is Class X.
c. GDS
are required to beon duty only for 4-5 hours a day under the terms and
conditions of their service.
d. The
GDS are remunerated with Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA) on the
pattern of pay scales for regular government employees, plus DA on pro-rata
basis.
e. A
GDS must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS,
to sustain himself and his
Government of India has so far held that the GDS is
outside the Civil Service of the Union and shall not claim to be at par with
the Central Government employees. The Supreme Court judgment also states that
GDS are only holders of civil posts but not civilian employees.
The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no
recommendation with regard to GDS
( Para 11.8.49 & 11.8.50)
Separate Cadre for S As / B Es :
System Administrators and Marketing Executives have
demanded creation of separate cadres with higher pay scales. Presently
incumbents of these posts are drawn from the cadre of Postal Assistants/Sorting
Assistant Cadre.
The V and the VI CPC have also dealt with this issue and
have not recommended separation of cadres. The Commission also does not see any
rationale for creating separate cadres.
(Para 11.8.51 & 11.8.52)
