Sub:- Bonus ceiling raised limits and Constitution of the Central Pay

Commission.

Respected Sir,

We on behalf of two and a half lacs of Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Department of Posts, we do hereby express sincere thanks to you and through you to the cabinet for removing the discrimination which was done to the Gramin Dak Sevak employees in respect of bonus ceiling. The cabinet has done justice by raising the ceiling to Rs. 3500/- for GDS employees also. We express our gratitude once again.

We again crave your indulgence in doing away with yet another discrimination to us, the GDS employees. We hardly need to invite your attention to the fact that the Hon’ble Supreme Court have ruled that Extra Departmental Agents, as we were then called, are holders of Civil Post. On this basis the 4^th Central Pay Commission categorically noted that the issues of the Extra Departmental Agents, now Gramin Dak Sevaks are covered under the terms of their 4the CPC’s scope and should have been included in their terms of reference. Since then, we have been repeatedly urging the Government and the Department of Posts to get the issues of Gramin Dak Sevaks included in the scope of Central Pay Commissions. But our efforts have not been successful and each time an eye-was is done by constituting one man Committee under the Chairmanship of a serving or retired officer of the Department of Posts except once when Justice Talwar Committee was appointed after the 5^th Central Pay Commission was constituted. The retired or serving officers, who general have pre-biased notions to do not do justice with the GDS employees.

And hence it is high time that the long done discrimination done to the Gramin Dak Sevaks is removed and the issues and problems of GDS employees are referred to the 7^th CPC which has been approved by the Government to be appointed now. Your goodself may kindly utilize your good offices to convince the Hon’ble Finance Minister as to the justification for inclusion of GDS employees in the scope of the 7^th Central Pay Commission.

We, therefore, urge our Hon’ble Minister to take timely step in this direction.

With profound regards,

                                                                          

Yours faithfully,
