7th CPC Pay Statement

There are various reports on 7th Central Pay commission on the media on fitment formula,  arrears being paid as bonds , these reports are totally wrong and unwanted, these confuse the Central Government Employees, if you read the below table it is quite clear that  a Group “C” employee shall get.   

The true picture, as per the 7^th CPC recommendations has provided only at 14% wage hike at Group “C” level it is only ranging from Rs 2240 to  Rs  3500/ increase per month, and at Group “B” level ranging from Rs 4000 to   Rs 6500/ increase per month.

I AM A SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR , AND I AM A VALUELESS PERSON IN THIS DEPARTMENT

Friend ! as the title itself shows some negativity , but the reality is something more bitter than the title. Starting from year 2000, the early days of computerisation in this postal department , to the self sufficient fully  computerised department of the present era , one should not forget the role of  " SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORs ".  But SAs are being treated as just like a " MULTI - SKILLED " Group - D employee in every division of India Post.  No one , neither the divisional authorities , nor the policy makers are worried about the SAs. In fact 15 long years have been passed . But still the postal manual is silent about the duties, responsibilities &  facilities  of the SAs . 15 years time is not a short span of time. Department of post is extracting the job of a professional software engineer in the salary of a PA. It is better to sit in the counters , But when you are asking to provide service by travelling from  one SO. to the other spending money from your own pocket, rising from early morning and preparing your travel plan for reaching your destination office.No body will bother for the communication facilities, but it is expected to reach there in time. No doubt, there is the provision of TA and DA. But it depends on the grace of the divisional administrators. In most of the cases SAs have to wait for the month of  March of the next year for your legitimate claim. Still then your bill will go through a tight scrutiny. No body will care how you are managing your expenditures. Most of the place one SAs visits are not good communicated areas. Hence you have to arrange your personal means of communication . But suddenly the officials sitting under fans at division office will object your bill by saying that you are not going to be sanctioned bike mileage. That means , you can't afford bike in your job. But usually SAs are forced over phone to proceed immediately from HQ to a far of place . It is not matter for the officials having so called higher ranks , that how the SA will proceed ? Whether there is any means of communication or not  ? Another thing is that there is a strong belief that, SAs are the officials having magic hands . Whenever one SA touches one problematic unit, it will be rectified immediately with one touch. This problem arises only because of the lack of technical knowledge with the divisional office staffs and the heads. Department is emphasising upon the computerisation . Everyday one new software is coming, up gradation files are coming. But the department has never thought that the personnel who are implementing all these things are being managed by somebody who is completely ignorant of softwares and working procedure of a SA.

Post Offices Shift To E-Certificates

Post offices in the city have discontinued issuing National Savings Certificates (NSC) and Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) from April 1 in pre-printed form.

The Department of Posts plans to shift to electronic mode of issuing these certificates soon. At present, KVP certificates are issued under various denominations from Rs.1,000 to Rs. 50,000 and NSC at denominations up to Rs.10,000.

Postal Department officials said this was a tedious process as there was a lot of paper work involved in issuing each certificate.
