pay of Rs. 4800/- will be formed.
1/3rd of the total LSG, HSG II, HSG I will be
carved out as Postmaster Grade-I, Grade-II, and Grade-III respectively.
The posts of System Administrators will be
made as LSG vice versa.
PO & RMS Accountant will be made as a
separate channel
of promotion by reidentifying the Posts of LSG, HSG-II
and
HSG I posts.
The RMS, Circle office and SBCO staff will be considered as per
the ratio finalised in respect of Postal Assistant cadre.
The Official side accepted the above proposal and assured to
consider the above and come out with the final decision shortly. As requested
by them a common proposal of the Staff side has been submitted to day itself.
Cadre review for Postman &
MTS’
Since the MTS is the common category for
all Central Govt. employees, there
is no possibility of bringing them under
cadre review.
As functional Justification
could not be identified for the Postman and also the higher pay granted by the 6th CPC, the official side did not favour any
cadre review. However official side came forward with the proposal if the
Postman cadre opts out from the MACP scheme and agree to take the percentage
wise promotions it will be considered. It requires a deep study and the Postman
unions will discuss the issue and come out with the proposals.
The chairman conveyed that the next meeting will be arranged in
short notice to finalise the proposals.

March to Parliament
The Federal secretariat endorsed the decision of the Confederation
National Executive to organize March to Parliament on 26.7.2012 and one day

The Federal Secretariat has fixed the quota target of
participation in receipt of our union to the extent of 2000.
All Circle Secretaries are requested to organise the comrades in
large numbers.
All Circle Secretaries and Divisional Secretaries are requested to
book their Journey tickets in advance so as to reach on 26.7.2012 for
particiting the rally. NFPE has organized an All India convention on the same
day at Delhi on 26.07.2012. Similarly the AIPEU GDS (NFPE) has organized a
Massive Dharna before the Parliament demanding departmentalization of GDS on
27.7.2012. The comrades of Delhi Circle desire to arrange a felicitation
function to Com. K. V. Sridharan, General Secretary on the eve of his
superannuation on 27.07.2012 evening at Delhi. The comrades who desire to

Associate membership to
AIPEU-GDS (NFPE)
The Federal Secretariat held on 21.5.2012 has accorded the status
of associate membership to newly formed AIPEU GDS (NFPE). The General Secretary
has also requested all the Divisional Secretaries/Circle Secretaries seeking
their co-operation in formation of branches at all levels.
Since the fresh verification of membership in GDS cadre is offing
and notification for that effect may be issued at any time. It is realiably
learnt that the recognition to the office bearers has not been accorded to the
AIPEDE union due to the vertical split in the All India Conference and there is
every possibility of another Membership verification at any time. It is our
prime need to strengthen the organisation which is associated with NFPE and
declared to work under the guidance of P3 leadership right from Divisions to
All India level.
All Divisional/Circle Secretaries are requested once again to
extend full cooperation and unstinted support to the newly formed AIPEU GDS
(NFPE).
