Remarkable comments on GDS system by Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee in its Report -2016.

Dear Comrades,

After going through the GDS Committee Report, the Committee observations and comments on GDS system and on GDS beside on the part of Department and Govt are so impressive and courageous.

In brief, the comments are extracted here :

The GDSs working in the net work of GDS Post Offices are Ambassadors of Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications in the rural and remote areas of India.
The Govt of India still holds the same position and has so far held that the Gramin Dak Sevaks are not departmental employees. They are outside the Civil Services of the Union and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government Employees.
Currently, a large number of well educated, talented and capable youths are joining GDS posts and strengthening the GDS system and this trend is likely to propel growth of the Department in the coming days.
The Committee observed that in last several decades, the Department has not invested enough to strengthen the network of GDS Post Offices until recently.
The quality of life of GDSs and their family’s needs to be improved by harmonizing their wages and other emoluments in tune with present day’s needs and aspirations of young GDSs joining the workforce.
The Committee also noted that a large number of them are totally dependent upon the emoluments received from the Department and has no other means of livelihood to supplement their income.
The Committee views that the demand of regularization of their services is due to better emoluments, reliability and security of regular government service. The Committee noted that GDSs are exploited at the hands of their local supervisors because of existing wage structure and their legal status. The administrative powers such as “put off duty” are exercised on frivolous charges and frequently used for exploitation rather than as remedial measures.
The Department recognizes the engagement of GDSs as contractual, but the present method of engagement and disciplinary proceedings, job contents, risks and responsibilities are getting closer to the regular employees of the department.
That there is tendency to withhold the legitimate demands of GDSs which are due to them, based on the apprehension that they will get closer to regular employees and their claim for regularization will be strengthened in the Court of Law, if such demands are allowed. The Committee finds this as unreasonable and counter productive for the Department. It also deprives them of living a happy life in the changed situation where financial dependence on GDS position is increasing day by day because of shrinking alternate means of livelihood.
The Department has lost its tag of having the largest network for providing financial services to the customers by decelerating expansion of network based on the assumption that GDS post offices are loss making and adding to the overall deficit of the Department….
The Committee observed that the ‘Rationalization of Postal Network Scheme’ has also not worked on the expected line. The Committee supports the demand for presence of postal facility in the headquarters of each of 2.50 lakhs Gram Panchayats and revamping of PSSK and FO Schemes my making it more remunerative as opening of regular or GDS Post Office in each of such location may not be feasible.
The GDS Post Offices, is around 45% of the total deficit (Net Expenditure – Revenue) of Rs.6258.60 crores and around 15% of the total expenditure of Rs.17894.58 crores in the Financial year 2014-15. The Committee found that total expenditure on GDS system is far less than deficit of the Department.
Future survival of the Department will largely depend on the successful management of GDS Post Offices, which effectively for its “soul”.. It would be difficult for the Department to survive without the soul.
Trust of GDS network which enables the Department to deliver trustworthy services in each and every village of the country that can not be quantified in terms of revenue.
The Committee observed that the Sub Post Masters of single handed Sub Post Offices do not encourage Branch Post Masters to increase their workload as it results into increase in the workload of Sub Post Offices which they are unable to handle properly due to lack of manpower.
Sub Post Office by utilizing the services of capable and willing GDSs in the single handed sub post offices.
The India Post Payment Bank which is going to be rolled out shortly will use the strengths of the GDS net work and experiences of more than 2.60 lakhs trustworthy Gramin Dak Sevaks serving in the Department of Posts.
The GDS network can potentially wipe out the deficit (gap between the expenditure and revenue) of the Department and emerge as rural digital hubs for delivery of DBT and other postal, financial, remittance, third party and several e-services to the rural population and forming an integral part of fulfilling SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKAS agenda of the Central Government.

GPF INTEREST RATE - LATEST ORDER

How 7th pay commission will change your life, Indian economy

The strongest effect of the 7th pay commission will be on the aggregate demand in the Indian economy, which is likely to witness a huge push in terms of creation of jobs and revenue generation.

In order to keep the exchequer healthy to fund implementation of the seventh pay commission recommendations, the Finance Ministry has asked government departments to avoid last minute spending rush in the final quarter of the fiscal.

The Finance Ministry has categorically told them to ensure that they don't exceed their respective budget allocations. It said that the departments would not get additional grants as the government had to bear the burden of the implementation of the seventh pay commission.

Incidentally, the Finance Ministry made an exception for the MNREGA expenditure while it conveyed its message to other ministries during a discussion on the revised estimates for the current fiscal year.

SO, WHAT WILL CHANGE WITH 7TH PAY COMMISSION

The full implementation of the 7th pay commission's recommendations will bring an average 23.5 per cent raise in their income for about one crore central government employees and pensioners.

The implementation of the CPC recommendations will bring more cash- digital or physical- in the hands of salaried people, who will trigger higher consumption, in turn.

More money in large number of family is likely to push demand for cars and houses, as many bankers expect. This will revive the slightly sluggish lending sector.

With more money in hand is expected to push higher consumer demand for durable goods, which will give impetus to industrial sector leading to creation of more jobs.

The past experience of implementation of pay commission's recommendations suggests that automobile sector and companies dealing in consumer durables and FMCGs get huge push and are the primary beneficiaries.

With more expenditure by the large number of salaried people and their dependents will lead to higher revenue for the government. More money also means increased savings, which have been the biggest strength of the middle class economy of the country.

More demand for consumer goods will also push inflation but given the fact that the prices have been under the check for better part of the past two years, this new trend should not trouble the citizenry and worry the government.

In anticipation of the positive impact of the seventh pay commission, the RBI has been asking the banks to lower the interest rates. So, auto, car and home loans may become cheaper once the government announces to give the allowances to its 47 lakh employees and about 53 lakh pensioners once the model code conduct is lifted after the assembly elections in five states.

A combination of higher discretionary income and lower interest rates is good for real estate sector, which has been gasping for fresh lease of breath.

Higher consumption and demand are likely to create more jobs in the country in various sectors- particularly manufacturing. Clearly, the strongest effect of the 7th pay commission will be on the aggregate demand in the Indian economy.
