To
The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India,
New Delhi

Sub: Request for Scrapping of PFRDA பில்

Sir,
We submit this Petition to bring to your kind notice and through your good office to the attention of the Honorable Parliamentarians of our country certain aspects of the re-introduced PFRDA bill, which will have adverse impact on the exchequer in general and on the prevailing service conditions of the Civil Servants. We pray that our submissions in this regard may please be caused to be considered earnestly and the implication of the provisions of the bill critically analyzed and examined and take decision to kindly withdraw the Bill from the Parliament.
We submit the following for your critical and objective analysis of the Bill :

1. The concept of old age security for civil servant in the form of pension has a very ancient origin dating back as early as third century BC, the quantum being half of the wages on completion of forty years blemish less service to the king.

2. In the last century, one of the measures taken by the colonial rulers to attract talented personnel to the Royal service was the introduction of pension scheme for civil servants in 1920. The Royal commission through its various recommendations improved the scheme and the 1935 Government of India Act provided it statutory strength.

3. The land mark judgment of the Supreme Court in D .S. Nakara and others Vs. Union of India (AIR-1983-SC-130)(applicable to the Central and State Government employees, teachers, and all stake holders of pension system) conceptualized pension stating that pension is neither a bounty nor a grace bestowed by the sweet will of the employer, but a payment for the past services rendered. It was construed as a right step towards socio-economic justice and a concrete assurance to the effect that the employee in his old age is not left in the lurch.

4. The fifth Central Pay Commission which was set up by the GOI in 1993 to go into the wage structure and pension scheme of the Central Government employees referring to the Judgment of the Supreme Court cited, observed (Para 127.6) that "pension is the statutory, inalienable and legally enforceable right earned by the civil servant by the sweat of the brow and being so must be fixed, revised, modified and changed in the way not dissimilar to salary granted to serving employees."

5. The guiding principle adopted in determining of pay package of civil servants is to spread out the wage compensation over a long period of time whereby wages paid out during the work tenure is low in order to effect payment of pension on retirement. As such civil service pension is rightly termed as deferred wage. While in the organized private sector the employer is required to contribute equal share to the Provident Fund of the employees, the Government neither contributes to the Provident Fund of the civil servants nor takes any pension subscription from him.
6. In an unwarranted intervention in the Statutory defined benefit Pension system, the IMF in their work paper (WP/01/125,(2001) propounded the creation of a pension fund by eliciting subscription from the Wage earners at the earliest stage of their employment so as to fetch an annuity decent enough to sustain him at the old age. In fact it was a suggestion for a retrograde change over from the defined benefit pension scheme to a defined contributory system. While suggesting so, they have categorically stated that India does not suffer demographic pressure experienced by major countries, for India's population beyond the age of 60 was about 7% in 2004 which rose to 8.6% in 2010 and is estimated at 13.7% in 2030 and 20% in 2050.

7. The New contributory pension scheme enunciated by the Government of India and adopted by most of the State Governments is covered by the PRFDA bill. The bill inter alia, envisages a social security scheme for all who desire to have an annuity at his old age which is voluntary and not mandatory. However, in the case of Civil Servants, who are recruited to Government service after the prescribed cut -off date ( 1.1.2004 in GOI service) the scheme is mandatory in as much as the employee is bound to subscribe 10% of his emoluments to the Pension Fund and the Govt. being the employer would contributes equal amount. No employee is entitled to opt out of the scheme.

8. Despite the inability to bring in a valid enactment, the Central and all State Governments other than those of West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura through illegal executive orders decided to impose the contributory pension system arbitrarily on the Central and State Government employees .While the Govt. of India notification excluded the personnel in the armed forces and para-military establishments, the Governments of the Left ruled States of West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura consciously continued with the existing defined benefit pension system.
9. The PRFDA Bill stipulates that there will not be any explicit or implicit assurance of the benefit except market based guarantee. The subscriber is thus exposed to the following risks at the exit.

a) If there is a major market shock, the subscriber to the New Pension scheme may end with no ability to purchase an annuity.
b) Since annuity is and cannot be cost indexed, the real worth of the annuity might fall depending upon the inflationary pressure on the economy.
c) As per the scheme, the subscriber is to make the choice of investment portfolio. The Civil Servant being mostly uninformed in finance and investment related matters, he might end up in making wrong choices which would eventually rob him of the old age pension.

d) The subscriber is perforce to contribute to the charges of the investment managers, whose priority often is as to how much profit they could make through investmentof the huge corpus of pension fund in the volatile share market .

10. The pension fund created by the employees' subscription and the employers' contribution which directly flows from the exchequer ( which is nothing but tax revenue of the Govt.) is made available for the stock market operations which is not only unethical but also blatant diversion of public fund for private profit, both Foreign and Indian capitalists.

11. In the case of Civil Servants recruited after the cut-off date, the new scheme replaces the existing much better "defined benefit" pension scheme. In the process, the Government has created two classes of civil servants viz. the one with a defined benefit pension scheme and the other with the contributory pension scheme in which the employee is to part with 10% of his emoluments to become entitled for an old age social security subject to the vagaries of share market permits. Since in both the cases, the pay, allowances, perks, and other benefits, privileges, duties and responsibilities are the same it amounts to wanton discrimination of one against another which is not sustainable in law, rather violative of the existing constitutional provisions.

12. The wage structure presently designed for those who are recruited prior to the cut- off date and after is on the same premise and is depressed to enable the Govt. to meet the pension liability in future. By imposing the new contributory pension scheme on the employees who are recruited after the cut- off date the Govt. not only denies the statutory defined pension benefit to them but also compel them to contribute for earning an undefined annuity, which must be characterized as highly discriminatory.

13. Those who are covered by the contributory pension scheme will become entitled for an annuity, a portion of the accumulated contribution is able to purchase, basing upon the accretion to the fund from the investment. There is, however, no guaranteed minimum amount of pension for those who are covered by the new scheme, whereas the civil servants covered by the existing scheme do get a defined and guaranteed minimum pension and on his death his family members (wife, widowed and unmarred daughters and unemployed sons below the age of 25) become entitled for family pension. The discrimination factor is thus compounded.

14. The PFRDA Bill when enacted, it is rightly feared, will empower the Government to alter or even deny the present employees and pensioners the statutory defined pension benefit as has been done in the case of those who are appointed after the cut-off date.

15. It is stated that the prime objective of the introduction of the contributory pension scheme is to substantially reduce the outflow on account of pension liability. The major pension liability of Government is accounted for by Armed Defence personnel. They are however excluded from the purview of the contributory pension scheme. The personnel in the Para Military forces are also excluded from the ambit of the new Scheme. While doing so, (no doubt to attract the people to serve in the armed forces for security of the Nation) the Govt. is bound to meet the pension liability from the consolidated fund of India. The argument advanced by the Govt. to cover the Civil Servants in the ambit of the new Pension scheme has been found to be unsustainable by the study commissioned by the 6th CPC. Shri S. Chidambaram, Actuary, in his report, (Annexure to "A study of Terminal benefit of Central Government employees by Dt. K. Gayatri, Centre for Economic Studies and policy, Institute for Social and Economic change, Nagarbhavi, Bangalore) has pointed out that the Government liability on account of contributory pension scheme would in effect increase for a period spanning for the next 34 years from the existing Rs. 14,284 Cr. To Rs. 57,088 Cr. ( 2004-2038) and is likely to taper off only from 2038 onwards. The exchequer is bound to have an increased outflow for the next 34 years and will be called upon to bear the actual pension liability of defence personnel and personnel of para military forces, besides making the contribution to the Pension fund of the Civil Servants recruited after the cut off date. The specious plea that the exchequer is bound to gain due to the contributory pension scheme is therefore not borne from facts.

16. Of the present pension liability of the Govt. of India, which in 2004-05 was 0.51% of the GDP, 0.26% is accounted for by the Defence( which is 50% of the total pension liability.) The study report of the Centre for Economic Studies has concluded that the pension liability as a percentage to GDP which is just 0.5% presently is likely to decline given the growth rate of Indian economy.

17. Since most of the State Governments have chosen to switch over to "contributory pension scheme" , in fairness ( from the Study conducted by the Centre for Economic Studies and policy) it can be concluded that the pension liability of all the State Governments are bound to increase to three times of what it is today by 2038.

18. The first version of the PFRDA Bill was placed before the Parliament by the NDA Government in 2003. The 6th CPC set up the Committee to go into the financial implication on account of the increasing number of pensioners and suggest alternative funding methodology in 2006. The said Committee came to the inescapable conclusion (report submitted in 2007) that "the existing systems of pension are increasingly becoming complicated after the introduction of the New Pension scheme" and warned that "caution has to be exercised in initiating any further reforms" In the light of the conclusion of the said study report which revealed the fact of serious escalation in the pension payment outflow, the rationale of the re-introduction of the PFRDA bill in 2011 covering the civil servants is incomprehensible. Undoubtedly, the Bill when enacted into law will through the existing pensioners to a financially insecure future and the existing workers to the vagaries of the stock market. We, therefore, earnestly pray to your good-self to bring back all the civil servants including teachers irrespective of the date of entry into Government service as also those irregularly appointed within the ambit of the existing statutory defined pension benefit scheme.

We may, in fine, quoting the concluding paragraph (Page 76 of the report of the Centre for Economic Studies and Policy – Institute for Social and Economic Change) of the Committee set up by the 6th CPC

"Mainly given the fact that the future liability although may be large in terms of absolute size is not likely to last very long and does not constitute an alarmingly big share of the GDP which is also on the decline. It appears that pursuing the existing 'Pay as you go' to meet the liability will be an ideal solution."

appeal you, for the detailed reasons adduced in the foregoing paragraphs, that the new pension scheme enshrined in the PFRDA Bill may be withdrawn from the Parliament both in the interest of the Civil Servants and the exchequer.
Withregards,

Sd/---

Ref: P/2-19/Tamilnadu Circle Dated – 28.10.2011

To,
Ms. Shanthi Nair
Chief Postmaster General
Tamilnadu Circle
Chennai - 600002
Madam,
Sub: - Atrocities & Highhandedness of Director PTC, Madurai.
                                           ..................
A kind attention is invited to your letter received ten days back  in connection with PTC, Madurai issues . The following are our view about the functioning of PTC Madurai and in particular about the atrocities of the Director, PTC.

The following are the informations we received from the trainees about the atrocities unleashed by the Director PTC Madurai Selvi. Nirmaladevi during the first session of Postmaster Grade I training from 8/8/2011 to 15/9/2011.

1. On 8/8/2011 the first day of training more than two third of the trainees were out of auditorium as the doors were locked at 0850 AM, whereas it was notified that the welcome function was fixed at 0900 AM. All the Postmaster grade officials even including the staff of PTC felt very sorry even nobody did anything wrong. At 0930 hours, the doors of the auditorium were opened and the Director thrashed in words on the mass of Postmaster Grade officials. When somebody tried to explain that the doors were locked before 10 minutes, the Director very angrily said “Shut up; Don’t talk” repeatedly. Every trainee felt very sad on the first day itself. Later the trainees came to know that the director closed the doors hastily on seeing a female Postmaster grade trainee on the way, who was supposed to be a former instructor of the same PTC filed CAT case against the same Director and got remedy. For settling the scores of personal vendetta the Director did such act.

2. On the introductory class, the Director told the trainees to attend class in Sundays also. But some of the trainees politely requested to allow rest on Sundays. However the Director angrily told that she would lose Rs 50000/ for one day if the classes fixed at THIYAGARAJA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT, MADURAI” on Sunday is cancelled. The trainees patiently admit the violations of DG Instructions of holding training on Sunday due to heavy expenditure made for that day.

3. All were in shock that, for 40 trainees for a single day the expenditure was Rs 50000/-,then for 3 days to each batch and for 3 batches comes Rs 450000/-in 9 days. Even though the training at THIYAGARAJA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT is good, the expenditure as told by the Director did not commensurate the benefits.

4. The Director kept the trainees in a tensioned atmosphere by not granting permission even in Sundays. There appeared to be no mess committee and all the decisions of purchase ,

Expenditure, food items, quality, quantity and timings are singularly decided, but the committees are in name sake.

5. Within short period, several trainees were discharged for taking one day leave due to death of near relatives or family members or for emergent reasons. When some trainees contacted the Director for reconsidering the termination of training for genuine leave, the Director half mindedly accepted in the middle of the training to grant leave in very emergent cases. For the name sake only two trainees were granted one day leave. For all the other people the leave taken even with the permission were treated as DIES-NON and the concerned divisional heads are advised to take appropriate actions even after completed our training. The in humanitarian attitude shown on the Postmaster grade trainees hurts not only the trainees but the staff at PTC also.

6. One day a night dinner was arranged. Some 15 trainees did not eat in the costly non veg dinner as they are not accustomed with such costly party. The request of the above trainees for giving light food at the mess was abruptly denied and openly the Director told “let them starve”. On that day food was denied and the sentiments of officials were humiliated. Now, after completed the training, some selective officials are issued with show cause notice by the respective divisional heads as directed by the Director, PTC Madurai as a revenge and afterthought.

7. Regularly all Postmaster Grade trainees were ordered to attend yoga / physical activity or Shramadhan at 0545 AM and all cleaning work in the LAB were done by the TRAINEES. Actually the cost for cleaning might be reduced to PTC but the real picture is not known to us. If anybody comes five minutes late separate punishments were as per the will and pleasure of the Director PTC. All trainees usefully practice the YOGA or Physical activity happily as they are good to their health. But the compulsory Shramadhan activity and the manner they treated created unhappiness. In the entire session the only happiest person is the DIRECTOR PTC and all others were totally unhappy. Every trainee was coming to the training with moral responsibilities but they were never cared by the super powered Director.

8. On 27/8/2011 the classes were continued till 1930 hours (awaked time was 0500AM) and all the trainees went to their rooms and they could finish their food even after the mess time of 2030 hrs. Usually the trainees were in the habit of talking to their family in the night hours in the play ground adjacent to their rooms for privacy and best phone signal. At 2130 hours hostel visit was made by the Director without any notice and four trainees were targeted as ‘NOT IN THE ROOM’. On 29/8/2011, Monday at 0930 AM , the above four trainees were pulled out from the GUEST LECTURE class and issued with show cause notice and immediate reply was demanded. All the four trainees have confirmed their presence in the PTC Campus in writing. Till tea time (1100 AM) all the four trainees were denied to listen the guest lecture. All the trainees during the tea time surrounded the four trainees and enquired about the show cause notice as all the trainees knew the fact of their presence within the campus and the allegation is filthy and ill motive. On seeing the crowd of trainees at tea spot, the Director rushed and told “we will speak in the evening” and after tea the Guest lecture continued as usual.

In the evening three trainees met the DIRECTOR and requested to recall the memory that all the four trainees were well present in the campus and the DIRECTOR and Asst. Director were the witnesses as all the four trainees wished them while their visit. The Director PTC assured that no further action would be taken on the above show cause notice and convinced with the actual reply. After the training was over and joining at their divisions, the Director issued

“DIES NON” for one official and warning to others, those may be deemed as excessive use of powers.

9. Even though all the trainees are humiliated in one way or another all the Postmaster Grade trainees were in so patience ,since the GUEST LECTURES and management subjects made them to tolerate for successful completion of training. As the Director PTC was so adamant and having unquestionable powers to punish the trainees we did nothing. The curriculum, subjects, instructors and the facility are boon to the trainees. But the trainees felt very sad about the treatment given by the DIRECTOR. The session of entire happy training was spoiled by one single person trusted with powers misusing to take revenge against the dislikes even though they are really good and deserve no adverse.

10. On 15/8/2011, the DIRECTOR PTC did a blunder of hoisting the national flag inversely in presence of all trainees and staff of PTC and one of the trainee rushed and re-hoist correctly. The particular trainee who helped the DIRECTOR in this regard is now gifted with DIES-NON after completion of the training. For tiny reasons whether it is genuine or not the DIRECTOR imposed punishments as gifts, what is the action for disrespecting the national flag on the Independence Day by the Director PTC, Madurai.

11. All the trainees have decided to record their unhappiness against the Director in the final feedback on completion of training. But the Director cleverly avoid to get feedback about the training. On the valedictory function, in presence of the CPMG, no trainee was given an opportunity to express their feeling. Feed backs were obtained for every guest lecture right from the beginning those were very good, but deliberate attempt to avoid course feedback is nothing but to hide the facts.

12. All the immature punitive actions unleashed against the innocent officials may be write back and a pleasant situation at PTC Madurai may please be ensured.

13. The expenditure made by DIRECTOR PTC is seems to be abnormal and luxurious in no way helpful to our department. For example.

(a) The luxurious one day night dinner is so wasteful and the cost per head may please be verified

(b) The amount paid to “ THIYAGARAJA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT” is said to be so high and the quotations from other institutions may please be checked out.

(c) The cost per head of the one day “HIGH-TEA ‘’ is seems to be very high and the need of such luxury and the force applied to the trainees to drink such tea may kindly be reconsidered. Even though if such party is decided as a part of training, such huge expenditure is very harmful to our department in particular and nation in general.

(d) From every trainee a sum of Rs 7500/- is collected among which a huge sum of Rs 3350 /- is shown as room rent/accommodation. As the building, electricity and water are come under the expenditure of Government, why room rent is in higher side and where it goes.

(e) It was told that previously cleaning /scavenging of PTC was done by some local persons with less expenditure and now the above work was done by a contractor with huge amount of contract. The contractor also not sending his personnel regularly and the cleanliness of rooms are not up to the mark. The quotations for the contract need to be checked and the comparative cost with the previous arrangement shall be compared and the loss to the department may be calculated in vigilant angle also.

(f) No mess committee is properly functioning and all unilateral decisions are converted into mess committee decisions. Hence the purchase and expenditure might not be checked properly.

14. It is most pertinent to mention one of the incidents taken place earlier to know about the eccentric check behavior of the Director. One Night at 10.30 hours when she visited nearby the staff quarters, she spotted one instructor wearing half trouser and T-shirt and standing in his home. She called and abused him about his dress. The instructor pointed out that it was his night dress and there was nothing wrong to wear T Shirts at home; he further pointed out to her when you are pointing out about my dress code, in what way it would be correct to attend PTC with sleeveless jackets. Next day one brought two or three pieces of such clothes and directed the canteen burn to earn in the midst of trainees.

15. There was a falicitation meeting organized at Madurai HO and the General Secretary attend the meeting on 28.8.2011 Sunday. The trainees sought permission to attend this meeting. That was strongly refused and the Director instructed that even though there is no class, nobody should leave the PTC on 28.8.2011. This is causing a serious concern and the Director should not construe all the trainees as sheeps or slaves in her Jungle raj.

16. The Director, PTC, Madurai is not at all conducting classes or giving lecture to the trainees there. Her only duty is to set question papers that too without knowing what is taught in training classes resulting out-of-syllabus and irrelevant questions.

17. The most inhuman action of the Director is not even granting a day’s leave for sick or important relatives marriage or even for the death of their family members and close relatives. If any trainee under the above contingencies requests leave she threatens that his/her training would be terminated forthwith. Further no trainee is allowed to go outside even on Sundays and holidays and they should remain in the training centre only.

18. As we know the trainees were selected with high academic qualifications followed with various screening tests like aptitude tests etc. But almost nearly 2/3rd of the candidates get detained as failed in every batch at PTC Madurai which we can’t heard in any other training centre in our country. If for fail, it is logical. But detention percentage is alarming. It shows that the questions are meant to be not related to the materials taught in the classes. This is nothing but blatant display of deliberate attempt of the Director to harass the trainees to satisfy his sadistic pleasure.

19. Last week, as it heavily rained many trainees could not wear shoes that were mandatory. They were only sandals/chappals as they were to wade through ankle deep water and slippery muddy ground. They were very badly abused and teased by the Director. All of them were threatened that then would not be allowed to appear for exams. They were further directed to write all 860 Head Pos in India with pin code for 100 times as imposition, i.e 86000 times of name of HO with Pin which is not humanly possible.

20. The list of harassments is long. The attitude to dominate like an autocrat and driving pleasure in teasing others are the hallmark of the incumbent. The above are not exhaustive. These are only the tips of iceberg.

In nutshell, we wish to place on record that Director PTC is totally unfit for such institution and her topsy turvy activities and harassment were made the PTC as hell to the trainees.

If the situation is not arrested, even we may think of holding series of programmes against her either in front of PTC or before circle office for which there will be good response irrespective of affiliations of general employees.

It is requested to intervene and rein in the situation before it goes out of control.
With profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
