Two Days Bank Strike in March 2021

BEFI

Circular No.08/2021 9th February 2021

To all Units, Affiliates, Office Bearers, CC & GC Members

Dear Comrade,

UFBU decides for countrywide Bank Strike on 15-16 March
Against Budget Proposal to Privatise Two PSBs

As scheduled, a meeting of UFBU held today at Hyderabad. The meeting was attended by Com. Pradip Biswas and Com. P. Venkataramaiah, our Vice Presidents, and the undersigned on behalf of BEFI.

At the outset, the meeting paid homage to the farmers who died while agitating against anti-nation, anti-people Farm Laws. The meeting adopted a resolution urging upon the Government to reconsider their standpoint and find amicable solutions to the demands of the farmers.

The meeting also took note of the hurry with which the Government wants to go ahead with implementation of the new Labour Codes in which many existing labour rights have been diluted or taken away. The meeting urged upon the Government to restore all the existing hard-won rights of the workers. The meeting expressed concern over various measures announced during the Union Budget like strategic sale of IDBI Bank; privatisation of two public sector banks and one general insurance company. The meeting took note of different reforms measures in the forms of setting up of Bad Bank, IPO in LIC, allowing FDI in insurance sector up to 74% increasing from 49% as of now, selling/privatizing public sector enterprises at random. The meeting observed that all such measures will be harmful for the nation and its people; need to be opposed.

After threadbare discussions and deliberations by all the constituents, the meeting decided to launch intensive agitational programme including strike actions. It was further decided to make the common people aware about the disastrous effects bank privatization will bring for the country’s economy as well as for the masses.

The UFBU meeting adopted following programme:

February 19th 2021Day-long Dharna in all State Capitals
Feb. 20th to March 10th 2021Relay Dharnas in all Districts/Towns
March 15th & 16th 20212 Days Bank Strike

Further strike actions will be decided looking into the developments. Details of other preparatory programme like postering, badge wearing, demonstrations etc. will be informed subsequently.

The meeting also suggested for holding extensive meetings of the members at all places so that all the programme are participated by most of the members to convey strong message to the government against the pernicious policies. We call upon our Units and Affiliates to rise to the occasion and implement the decisions befittingly.

With greetings,

Yours comradely,

Respected Madam/ Sir,

This is with reference to online filling of Performance Appraisal Reports (PARs) for all Group ‘A’ IPoS officers of Department of Posts in SPARROW Portal.

2. In this regard, it is to say that Smart Performance Appraisal Report Recording Online Window (SPARROW) portal has been made live from 16th July, 2020 for filling of Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR). All Group ‘A’ IPoS officers of Department of Posts except those who are on Deputation have started to fill online PAR through SPARROW portal for the assessment year i.e. 2019-20.

3. Many Circles have inquired about the procedure to be followed for dealing with representations submitted by officers regarding grading/entries in their APARs recorded in SPARROW, subsequent to disclosure of the same to them. It is to inform that the process of dealing with such representations will be the same as was being followed earlier for physical APARs prior to launch of SPARROW. Following procedure will be followed.

a. State Custodian will take printout of the representation and send it to Director (Staff), Postal Directorate for further examination for a decision by the Competent Authority.

b. After final decision of the Competent Authority is obtained, the whole APAR with the decision of the Competent Authority will be migrated to SPARROW by CS to Member (P).

Sub: Clarification for extending the Notional Monetary Benefit under TBOP and BCR Scheme to Postman / Mail Guards for the period from 01.01.1996 to 09.10.1997 in the revised pay scale of Rs.3200-4900 and Rs.4000-6000 respectively – reg.

Sir /Madam,

Kindly refer to this office OM of even no. dated 23-05-2018 regarding ‘Notional Monetary Benefits’ to the Postmen/Mail Guards w.e.f. 01-01-1996 to 10-10-1997 in the revised pay scale of Rs. 3050-4590 and clarification issued vide this office letter of even no. dated 31.01.2019 in compliance of Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment dated 07.05.2015 in the Civil Appeal No. 2010/2009.

2. Vide OM dated 23.05.2018 notional monetary benefits were granted in the entry level pay scale but there is no mention about the benefits in respect of TBOP and BCR scales granted during the period, which, in fact, created an anomaly as both the entry level (notional scale) and TBOP scale of Postman/Mail Guard Cadre were remained in same pay scale i.e. 3050-4590 during the period in question. As such, Postmen who were granted TBOP / BCR during the period from 01.01.1996 to 09.10.1997, were deprived from the benefit of financial up-gradation to the next higher pay scale under TBOP / BCR Scheme.

3. On this anomaly, some Circles have sought for clarification as to whether Postman / Mail Guard, who were granted TBOP upgradation during the period from 01.01.1996 to 09.10.1997 will continue to draw the same scale of pay i.e. 3050-4590 or shall be upgraded to the next immediate higher scale i.e. 3200- 85-4900 w.e.f. the date of promotion on TBOP basis.

4. The issue has been considered in the Directorate in consultation with Ministry of Finance. In this regard, the relevant para of approval conveyed by the Department of Expenditure (E.III-A Branch), Ministry of Finance 1s re-produced as under:

“…2. The above matter has been examined 1n this Department. This Department has agreed to the proposal of Department of Posts for extending the Notional Monetary Benefit under TBOP/MACP-I and BCR/MACP-II Scheme to Postman/Mail Guards for the period from 01-01-1996 to 09-10-1997 in the revised pay scale of Rs. 3200-4900 and Rs. 4000-6000 respectively as per the condition imposed by the Hon‘ble Supreme Court that the concerned employees will not be entitled for any arrears of wages/salaries for the interregnum period i.e. from 01-01-1996 to 10-10-1997.._”

5. It is therefore, requested to take an immediate action in this regard and ensure strict adherence in true spirit.

Facility for downloading of Index Card and Validity of CGHS Card

Dated, the 10th February, 2021

Office Memorandum

Subject: Facility for downloading of Index Card and Validity of CGHS Card- Regarding.

It has been the endeavour of CGHS to provide more on-line facilities for its beneficiaries especially during COVID times. As a step further in this direction, the facility to download and print the Index Card is now available to the CGHS beneficiaries. 0n verification of the CGHS card application by Additional Director of the CGHS city/headquarters, an SMS would be sent to the registered mobile number of the main card holder, following which the Index Card would be downloadable by the main card holder and his dependents. The beneficiary will no longer be required to visit the Office of Additional Director of the city/headquarters at Delhi to collect the paper Index Card. The beneficiary can use the downloaded lndex Card (e-lndex Card)) to avail all CGHS facilities in CGHS units as well as at empanelled hospitals and diagnostic centres.

How to download the Index Card : On receiving the SMS regarding verification of card application, the beneficiary would be required to go to “Beneficiary login” at www.cghs.nic.in and login using his Beneficiary ID and password. An OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number as well as email of the beneficiary for authentication, following which the beneficiary would be able to download the e-lndex Card.

Validity of CGHS Plastic Cards:
Earlier, CGHS cards of serving beneficiaries and their dependents were valid for 05 years from the date of being printed. This often resulted in differing card expiry date of main card holder and his dependents, for instance, in case of addition of a new dependent.

To remove this anomaly, henceforth, in case of all new/renewed serving CGHS cards, the validity period ofthe Plastic Card, e-lndex Card, as well as “Print your own Card” will be the same for main card holder and all their dependents i.e.,05 years from the date when the department has approved the application for plastic card of the main card holder’ This will be irrespective of the date when their card is printed. ln addition, the e-‘lndex Card and “Print your own Card” facility would be available during this 05 year validity period only.

The existing plastic cards will however continue till their 05 year validify period ends.

ln case of pensioner cards (except whole life card),the e-lndex Card / plastic card/”Print your own card” validity and download facility would be from date of approval on the application for plastic card by Additional Director of the city/Headquarter in Delhi, till the period covered by the subscription deposited by the pensioner.

The plastic card printing agency will henceforth print CGHS cards of main card holder and dependents with the same “Valid upto” date, as captured in the database of the main CGHS card holder (exception being whole life pensioner cards where “whole life” is to be printed in place of”valid upto” date).

Beneficiaries would be able to apply for renewal of plastic cards 03 months from expiry date of existing card. The new e-Index Card valid for 5years from date of approval by department/ CGHS as the case may be, would be available for downloading after SMS confirmation from CGHS.

It is reiterated that in case any of the beneficiaries [main card holder or dependent) becoming ineligible for availing CGHS facitities, it shall be the responsibility of the main card holder to immediately inform the Additional Director /CMO l/C either through the department (in case of serving beneficiaries) or directly (please see at www.cghs.nic.in FAQs at serial numbers 1 and 4 to 9 for details). It is also reiterated that in the event of the main card holder’s failure to inform CGHS about change in the eligibility status, then CGHS facility to the beneficiary and his dependents is liable to be withdrawn in addition to any other action as deemed fit by CGHS/ appropriate authority (including disciplinary proceedings against serving beneficiary under CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965). Department will be responsible for retaining and getting deleted from Database the CGHS cards of its employees transferred to non CGHs covered areas/organizations or on resignation/retirement.

The information regarding the new e-lndex card facility would be disseminated to the main card holders through SMS.
