3% quota must for disabled people in all govt jobs including IAS: Supreme Court

Bombay HC had also directed the Centre to implement 3 per cent quota in direct recruitment.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday held that three per cent reservation for disabled people be given in all categories of government jobs including in appointments and promotions to IAS, while pulling up the Centre for "blocking" the very purpose of this empowering legislation by opposing it.

A bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha said that people with disabilities have not got their due in the last 19 years despite the framing of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, which was passed in 1995.

PM launches project to provide bank account to all

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched his pet project Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana, a mega financial inclusion plan under which everyone will be provided with a bank account.

"Jan Dhan Yojna will go a long way in eradicating poverty and is a big step towards women's empowerment", Modi said inaugurating the scheme.

"The poor of the nation will get strength to fight poverty with this scheme", Modi said, adding, "It will go a long way in bridging the divide between the rich and the poor."

"To eradicate poverty, we must end financial untouchability," Prime Minister said.

As an incentive people opening accounts under the scheme till January 26 will get Rs 30,000 life insurance besides accidental insurance of up to Rs 1 lakh.

Highlighting the importance of the project, Modi said, "Even after 68 years of independence, 68 per cent of population is not connected with banking."

MoC Shri. RAVI SHANKAR PRASAD Replied in RAJYA SABHA on 1.8.2014 regarding STATUS ON DEMANDS OF GRAMIN DAK SE

Sl. No.	Issue	Action taken / Government’s view
1	Demand for regularization as Government servant.	Gramin Dak Sevaks, about 2,65,000 in number are a distinct category of employees, who do not form part of the regular civil service. They are governed by a separate set of conduct and engagement rules.  They are engaged for 3 to 5 hours in a day.  Their livelihood is not solely dependent on the allowances paid by the Postal Department.   They are mandatorily required to possess independent sources of income for adequate means of livelihood. They are discharged on attaining the age of 65 years and while in employment are required to have residence mandatorily within the post village/delivery jurisdiction of the post office. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Superintendent of Post Offices vs. PK Rajamma (1977)(3) SCC has also held that the Extra Departmental Agents [now called Gramin Dak Sevaks] are holders of the civil post outside the regular civil service.
2	Demand for restoration of parity in bonus ceiling with departmental employees	Bonus ceiling stands revised at par with departmental employees vide DG Posts letter No. 26-04/2013-PAP dated 04.10.2013.
3	Demand for cent percent compassionate engagement to GDS posts from dependents of Gramin Dak Sevaks dying while in employment	Compassionate engagement is allowed in only hard and deserving cases. The term, ‘hard and deserving cases,’ is defined as cases earning more than 50 points designed from a point based criteria based on indigence. There is no justification to allow compassionate engagement in cent percent cases in cases of death of Gramin Dak Sevaks irrespective of indigence.
4	Request to ban direct recruitment to Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS)/Postman posts and filling up of 25% posts of MTS/Postman based on seniority by GDS employees.	Statutory Recruitment Rules for MTS provide for direct recruitment/absorption directly to MTS against 25% of the direct recruitment vacancies on the basis of selection cum seniority & another 25% by direct recruitment on the basis of competitive examination restricted to GDS. Statutory Recruitment Rules for Postman provide for direct recruitment from amongst GDS to the extent of 50% of the vacancies on the basis of limited departmental examination.

5	Request for filling up of all vacant posts in all categories of GDS in Postal and RMS.	Instructions have been issued to all Circles to fill up all vacant posts of GDS Branch Postmaster and justified posts of all other approved categories.
6	Request for extending one more option to GDS for enrolment under the service Discharge benefit Scheme (SDBS) and allowing GDS to make contribution to the Scheme	Existing GDS have already been provided one more and last option for their enrolment under the Scheme before 31.01.2014. GDS beneficiaries have also been allowed to contribute towards the scheme at the rate of Rs. 200 per month per GDS effective from October, 2013.
7	Request for merger of 50% DA to the remuneration of GDS.	This is based on the similar demand made by Central Government Employees. The Government has not taken any decision on the issue for the Central Government employees either.
8	Demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks within the purview of the 7th Central Pay Commission.	The Government has successively constituted Committees for revision of the wage structure and other service conditions of GDS from time to time after each Central Pay Commission.  The last such Committee was constituted by the Department in the year 2007 named Shri RS Nataraja Murti Committee.  The latest request for their inclusion in the 7th CPC stands referred to the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure.

Retirement age for central govt employees to remain unchanged

There is no proposal to increase the age of retirement of central government employees from existing 60 to 62 years, the government said on Wednesday.

"No," said Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, and in Prime Minister's Office, in a written reply to the Lok Sabha when asked whether there is any proposal under consideration of the government to raise the retirement age.

There are about 50 lakh central government employees working in various departments across the country.

The Centre raised the retirement age of its employees to 60 from 58 years way back in 1998.

Details of Lok Sabha Question :-

UNSTARRED QUESTION NO 796

ANSWERED ON 16.07.2014

Raising Retirement Age

796. SHRI M. RAJA MOHAN REDDY:
Will the PRIME MINISTER be pleased to state:



(a) whether there is any proposal under the consideration of the Government to raise the retirement age of Central Government employees; and

(b) if so, the details thereof?

Next Additional Dearness Allowance Hike Almost Confirmed at 7%..

The Labour Bureau released the AICPIN points for the month of May yesterday. The AICPIN points, which had remained stagnant at 242 has increased by 2 points to touch 244 now. This has led to an increase of the Dearness Allowance for the month of May from 105.02 to 106.17.

With only one month left for the calculation of the second installment of additional Dearness Allowance of the year, one can be almost sure that it would bring a hike of 7%.

The two previous rounds of Dearness Allowance revision brought hikes of 10% each. One could sense an air of disappointment and lack of enthusiasm among the employees this time.

Another reason for the disappointment is the fact that despite the Dearness Allowance increasing by more than 100%, it has still not been merged with the basic pay. There was a lot of expectation that the new Government at the Centre will implement this much-awaited and much-expected change.

But, nothing has been done about this yet. All the employee federations continue to stress upon this change. The federations are hell bent on getting either the DA merger or an interim relief this time. Will their dream come true?
