CIRCULAR DATED 26TH OCTOBER 2016
REVISION OF MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT FORMULA
2ND MEETING OF THE GROUP OF SENIOR OFFICERS WITH JCM (NC) STAFF SIDE
DISAPPOINTING
2nd Meetings of the Group of Senior Officers (Constituted as per the assurance given by Group of Minister to NJCA) to discuss the grievances arising out of recommendations related to 7th Central Pay Commission, was held with JCM (NC) staff side on 24.10.2016 at 4 PM. The staff side explained in detail the justification for modification in the minimum pay and fitment formula, which was already explained in the memorandum submitted to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015 and also in the presentation made before Joint Secretary Implementation Cell and Empowered Committee of Secretaries headed by Cabinet Secretary.
From the response of the Senior Officers, it is not clear whether they are mandated to submit a proposal on increasing the Minimum Pay and Fitment formula to Government, as assured by the Group of Ministers on 30th June 2016. Eventhough, the time frame of four months is almost over, the urgency and seriousness was lacking on the part of the Group of officers. It seems that that Government is adopting a delaying tactics or to deny the assured increase. Perhaps, they may recommend an increase in minimum pay and fitment formula at a later date, but it is quite uncertain.
Confederation National Secretariat after reviewing these developments has decided to intensify the campaign and agitational programmes demanding the Government to honour its assurance given to NJCA leadership and also to settle the 20 point charter of demands. Make the 7th November 2016 mass dharna programme a grand success. Ensure maximum participation of employees in the 15th December 2016 massive Parliament March. Get ready for strike.

Now, get postcards and stamps at your doorstep
CHENNAI, October 24, 2016
Now, customers don’t have to travel to post offices to buy stamps or postcards. The postman would instead deliver it at their houses.
The latest initiative of the Postal Department has postmen who are out to deliver mails also to sell postal stationery. Postmen will carry postage stamp, revenue stamps, envelopes, postcards and inland letters to be sold to the residents. This is a pilot project launched in the Chennai city region.
The postmen will also collect registered post and speed post from the residents.
Customers can also affix stamps and hand over the mails to them instead of visiting the post office or searching for a postbox.
The postmen will carry a rate chart with them and will issue receipt for the speed posts and registered articles either on the same day or next day. The initiative will be particularly useful to commercial establishments and residents in suburban areas, an official said.
There are over 1,000 postmen in the city. Each will carry Rs. 350 worth postal stationery whenever they step out for delivery. Nearly 50 per cent of the stationery are sold everyday, the official added.
Welcoming the move, residents said it would help senior citizens save the trips to post offices. Consumer activist, T. Sadagopan, meanwhile, suggested that the postmen also carry identity cards.

36 Things You Should Know About Sovereign Gold Bond
1. What is Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB)? Who is the issuer?
SGBs are government securities denominated in grams of gold. They are substitutes for holding physical gold. Investors have to pay the issue price in cash and the bonds will be redeemed in cash on maturity. The Bond is issued by Reserve Bank on behalf of Government of India.
2. Why should I buy SGB rather than physical gold? What are the benefits?
The quantity of gold for which the investor pays is protected, since he receives the ongoing market price at the time of redemption/ premature redemption. The SGB offers a superior alternative to holding gold in physical form. The risks and costs of storage are eliminated. Investors are assured of the market value of gold at the time of maturity and periodical interest. SGB is free from issues like making charges and purity in the case of gold in jewellery form. The bonds are held in the books of the RBI or in demat form eliminating risk of loss of scrip etc.
3. Are there any risks in investing in SGBs?
