Meeting with 7CPC at Shimla

We came to know at about 1600 hours on 12/11/2014 that Himachal Pradesh Branch of All India Association of Inspector Posts & Assistant Superintendent Posts has been allotted  20 minutes slot (at 1740 hours on 12/11/2014 itself) for discussion/meeting with  Hon’ble CPC (After seeing their engagement program as no formal invitation/confirmation on telephone or e-Mail has been received from any CPC authority).   

            Accordingly we planned to present our self as per the memorandum already submitted to them in advance. Since there are three associations/Unions from H.P. Postal Circle (IP/ASP Association, Administrative Union NFPE (Group C & D) and AIPEU Group-C Union) having appointments with CPC and the CPC just want to hear us on the issues specially related to Himachal Pradesh & not on All India issues. They also commented that the issues are almost common and offered to club the meeting of all the three postal entities combined, to which all have to agree.

            Total 15 members from three entities have attended the scheduled meeting, out of which following two representatives from our association have attended the meeting.

1)    Rattan Chand Sharma, Circle Secretary, IP/ASP Association-HP

2)    Surinder Singh, Organizing Secretary-II, IP/ASP Association-HP

Following members/officers from 7^th CPC have attended the meeting. 

1.            Justice Shri Ashok Kumar Mathur – Chairman

2.            Sh. Vivek Rae – Member

3.            Smt. Meena Aggarwal- Secretary

4.            Sh. Sameer Sinha – Joint Secretary

5.            Sh. Jayant Sinha

6.            Sh. Rajeev Mishra

 

Since they only want to hear us on the issues related to the Himachal Pradesh, we discussed following items with them

1)   Cost of Living in Shimla and its corresponding affect on enhancement of HRA, RLA & Transport Allowance.

2)   Hard Area Allowance for higher reaches of Himachal Pradesh

3)   Enhancement of Daily Allowance, while on tour OR relaxing the production of bills

4)   Extension of CGHS facility to Himachal Pradesh

 

Other items discussed are Reimbursement of medical expenses to retirees, Atleast one increment benefit to all promotes even to the lower grade-pay, Twelve Casual leaves, Keeping Compensatory Allowances out of the purview of Income Tax etc.

 The members from CPC calmly heard the facts and logics given by us and assured to consider these while finalizing these items. The meeting ended with thanks to the Chair.

Agenda Items for next four monthly meeting with CPMG, HP

1.      Non-payment of Two-wheeler (Scooter/Motorcycle) Charges  

 

This is regarding non-payment of two-wheeler charges to the IPs & ASPs using their scooter and bike for the official duties while on tour. As per FR & SR, all the employees’ right from grade pay of Rs. 1800/- to highest rank officers are entitled to use their own Scooter/Motorcycle during tour. The rate of road mileage for journey performed by own scooter are paid Rs. 8/- per km.

But in Himachal Pradesh postal circle, the same are being denied to the IPs/ASPs, who are actually using their own scooter or motorcycles for their official tours and claiming the same in their monthly TA bills. Please look into the matter and issue necessary instructions in this regard.

It is also added that in some cases even the road mileage on foot @ Rs. 5-00 per km has been denied by the divisional heads on the pretext that bus facility in available on that route and TA Bill is sanctioned by limiting it to Rs. 1-44 per km (notified rate of HRTC for hilly terrain). This type of tendencies also needs to be discouraged. Please look into the matter and issue necessary instructions in this regard.

 

2.         Non-payment of RPLI incentive in accordance with the revised incentive structure to IPs and ASPs in H.P.

 

This is  regarding non-payment of RPLI incentive to IPs & ASPs in H.P. Circle w.e.f. 01-10-2009 in accordance with the new revised incentive structure circulated vide the Directorate letter no. 26-02/2009-LI dated 16.01.2013. Most of the divisions have sanctioned the incentive bills in accordance with the old incentive structure, which is not beneficial to the employees and also against the true spirit of the revised rules.

 

            Please look into the matter and issue necessary instructions to the concerned Divisional Heads who are the sanctioning authorities for this incentive.
