bsnl gratuity order

Most Immediate
Court Case

BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED

Corporate Office
Pension Section, 5th floor

H.C. Mathur Lane,
New Delhi- 110001

No.38- 17/2019-Pen(B)

Dated : 09 -07-2020

To
All Heads of Circles/ Telecom Districts/ Regions/ Projects/
Telecom Stores/ Telecom Factories & Other Administrative Offices
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited

Sub : Instructions regarding timely release/ payment of Gratuity (DCRG) for avoiding payment of interest on delayed payment of Gratuity – reg.

Sir,

Of late, it has come to the notice of BSNL Corporate Office that in many cases different Courts of Law have directed UOI/BSNL for payment of interest on delayed payment of Gratuity (DCRG) to the applicant, which have resulted in huge financial burden on BSNL. These cases had been caused due to unnecessary delay in releasing/payment of Gratuity (DCRG) to the employees by the Circles.

2 . In this regard, it is intimated that in case of retirement of an employee, Gratuity (DCRG) is to be released/ paid immediately to the retired employee. As per GOl Decision (2) under Rule 68 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 , where the payment of DCRG has been delayed beyond three months from the date of retirement, an interest at the rate applicable to GPF deposits is to be paid to retired / dependants of deceased Government servants. However, of late it has been observed that various Telecom Circles of BSNL are withholding/ delaying the release/ payment of Gratuity on the pretext of pendency of disciplinary proceedings against the concerned BSNL employee, citing instructions given vide Rule 9 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 .

3. In this regard, it is intimated that as per Rule 9 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, the President reserves the right of withholding a pension or gratuity, or both, either in full or in part, or withdrawing a pension in full or in part, whether permanently or for a specified period , and or ordering recovery from a pension or gratuity of the whole or part of any pecuniary loss caused to the Government , if, in any departmental or judicial proceedings, the pensioner is found guilty of grave misconduct or negligence during the period of service. However , as per GOI Decision (6) under Rule 9 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, minor penalty proceedings have no effect on pension . Further, various instructions under GOI Decision (10) under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 clearly explains the situations under which pension/gratuity cannot be withheld.

4 . It may be seen from the above that the main purpose of withholding pension and/ or gratuity is for recovering pecuniary loss caused to the Government/BSNL. Hence, withholding the Gratuity in the cases should be done judiciously and as per the provisions of rules only and not as a matter of routine.

5. Further, it has been observed in many instances that the concerned Circles are not taking up the matters immediately with the BSNL Corporate Office, where the decision of the Courts of Law have gone against the Government/ BSNL in the cases involving BSNL employees. Had the Circles taken up the matters immediately with the BSNL Corporate Office, appropriate remedial measures could have taken/appropriate instructions could have been issued on the matter.

6. Accordingly, it has been decided that in the cases where any Court of Law directs for payment of interest on delayed payment of Gratuity, action might be taken for recovery of the said amount from the Officers/ Officials responsible for the delayed release/ payment of Gratuity, in addition to initiation of disciplinary action against them.

7. Hence, All Heads of Telecom Circles/ Other Administrative Units/ Cadre Controlling Authorities in BSNL Corporate Office are requested to release/pay the Gratuity (DCRG) to the retired employee, without any delay. Further, the Circles are requested to take up the matter immediately with the BSNL Corporate Office, where the decisions of the Courts of Law have gone against the Government/ BSNL in the cases involving BSNL employees.

Yours faithfully,

एआईआरएफ महामंत्री की सीआरबी से मुलाकात

ट्रेनों का संचालन प्राईवेट आँपरेटर को देना गलत : शिवगोपाल मिश्रा

नई दिल्ली, 6 जुलाई । रेलकर्मचारियों की तमाम समस्याओं को लेकर आँल इंडिया रेलवे मेन्स फैडरेशन के महामंत्री शिवगोपाल मिश्रा ने आज रेलवे बोर्ड के चेयरमैन विनोद यादव से मुलाकात की और कहाकि सरकार को ट्रेनों को प्राईवेट आँपरेटर को देने के साथ ही बेवजह तमाम पोस्ट को सिरेंडर किए जाने के आदेश को तत्काल वापस लिया जाना चाहिए। इस बीच सूत्रों से पता चला है कि रायबरेली के माडर्न कोच फैक्टरी को निजी हांथों में देने के बजाए सरकारी क्षेत्र में रखते हुए इसका विस्तार किया जाएगा।

महामंत्री और चेयरमैन रेलवे बोर्ड की लगभग घंटे भर चली बैठक में महामंत्री ने कहाकि विपरीत हालातों में भी ट्रेनों का कुशलतापूर्वक संचालन कर रेलकर्मचारियों ने साबित किया है कि वो हर हाल में मेहनत से काम कर सकते हैं। कोरोना में जब पूरा देश लाँक हो गया, उस समय भी बड़ी संख्या में मालगाडी और पार्सल ट्रेनों का संचालन कर देश भर में आवश्यक वस्तुओं की कमी नहीं होने दिया। इतना ही नहीं जब तमाम राज्य सरकारें प्रवासी मजदूरों को उनके घर पहुंचाने में नाकाम रही तो रेलकर्मियों ने ही श्रमिक ट्रेनों का संचालन कर उन्हें घर पहुंचाया। यही वजह है कि खुद प्रधानमंत्री ने अपने मन की बात में रेलकर्मचारियों को फ्रंट लाइन करोना वारियर्स बताया।

महामंत्री ने सवाल उठाया कि जब रेल कर्मचारी हर हालात में ट्रेनों का संचालन करने में सक्षम हैं तो आखिर प्राईवेट आँपरेटरों को ट्रेनों के संचालन के लिए आमंत्रित क्यों किया जा रहा है ? महामंत्री ने कहाकि मुश्किल घड़ी में तेजस चलाने वाले प्राईवेट आँपरेटर आखिर क्या कर रहे थे । महामंत्री ने चेयरमैन रेलवे बोर्ड से कहाकि जिस आईआरसीटीसी ने ट्रेन चलाने का जिम्मा लिया, उसकी हालत ये है कि हमारी स्पेशल ट्रेनों की टिकट बेच रही है। इन हालातों में ट्रेनों का संचालन प्राईवेट आँपरेटरों को कत्तई नहीं दिया जाना चाहिए, एआईआरएफ इसके सख्त खिलाफ है।

इसी तरह रोजाना अखबारों में खबर आ रही है कि बड़ी संख्या में पोस्ट सिरेंडर किए जा रहे हैं। इस मामले में बोर्ड ने भी एक आदेश जारी किया है। महामंत्री ने कहाकि पोस्ट का क्रियेशन तमाम अध्ययन और स्टेटिक्स के आधार पर किया जाता है, ट्रेनों की संख्या लगातार बढ़ रही है, आज तमाम कर्मचारियों पर काम का बोझ है, इसके बाद नई तैनाती करने के बजाए पोस्ट सिरेंडर करने की बात हो रही है, जबकि इसका कोई आधार नहीं है।
बहरहाल काफी देर तक चली इस मुलाकात के बाद तय हुआ कि गुरुवार यानि 9 जुलाई को इस मामले में बोर्ड में एक विशेष बैठक होगी, जिसमें सभी मुद्दों पर विचार किया जाएगा। सीआरबी ने फिर दोहराया कि किसी भी मामले में अंतिम फैसला लेने के पहले फैडरेशन से जरूर बात की जाएगी।
इस बीच सूत्रों से पता चला है कि रायबरेली कोच फैक्टरी के निजीकरण की योजना को फिलहाल स्थगित कर दिया गया है। अब रेल मंत्रालय चाहता है कि इस माडर्न कोच फैक्टरी का सरकारी क्षेत्र में रहते हुए ही विस्तार किया जाए, इसकी उत्पादन क्षमता को बढ़ाए जाने का भी विचार हो रहा है , ताकि यहां से बने कोच का निर्यात संभव हो सके।

absence during lockdown

Ref: Confdn/Covid-19/2020-21

Dated – 06.07.2020

To

The Secretary, (Personnel)
Department of Personnel & Training
North Block,
New Delhi. 110 001

Dear Sir,

Sub :- Covid 19 related problems –need for resolution.

We invite your kind attention to the various instructions issued by the Department of Personnel & Training to ensure a modicum of functioning of the Government offices during the lock- down period. Some of these instructions require extension of its originally stipulated period and others require certain amendments in the changed scenario.

We are certain that you will appreciate the pandemic situation has worsened over the months despite best efforts to combat the spread of the disease. Though at the national level lock down has been eased, some parts of the country are either declared as containment zone, red zones, or the authorities have clamped down triple lock down in certain other areas. In the absence of general instructions the local authorities in various departments take decisions which normally vary from one to other and even at times they are contradictory too.

This apart, the local authorities often refuse to listen to the genuine grievances of the employees and their directions become incapable of adherence creating in the process mental disturbance. On the basis of what is reported to us we make the following suggestions for your kind consideration and issuance of appropriate clarificatory orders.

(1) The order dated 20th March, 2020 empowering the local authorities to sanction commuted leave without production of medical certificate for those who are beyond the age of 50 expired on 4.04.2020. Since this situation has worsened in certain parts of the country thereafter, this order requires to be extended at-least upto 31.12.2020.

(2) The lock down declaration was, as you are aware, sudden and came into effect immediately making it impossible for the people to move from one place to another. Some of the employees had left for their native villages even prior to the declaration of the lock down. Some of them were already on leave. They could not rejoin duty during the lock down period. They were stranded. Their absence has to be regulated by grant of special casual leave. Instructions may be issued to grant such special casual leave for those who could not report for duty either after the expiry of the leave, if they were on leave, or out of station just prior to holidays. The concerned individual may be asked to explain the circumstances under which he could not be present at the office when he was due to be present.

(3) The stipulation that a percentage of the employees must be present in the office ought to have been made applicable for those who were staying say within 1-2 kms ambit of the office premises. Or else, arrangements for their transportation ought to have been made by the authorities. It has been reported to us that in some of the offices, the local authorities has issued orders directing certain employees to be present on certain days and the others on other days. This again is an order, which was incapable of obeying during the lock down period .Even today in certain areas where the covid-19 affected patients were on rise, the said areas have been locked down. Instructions may, therefore, kindly be caused to be issued whereby the employees residing far away from the place where the office is located are exempted from attending office, if no public transport system is in operation.

(4) In order to ensure that the citizens do not encounter any difficulties when they visit Government offices, the front office system has been introduced in almost all field formations of the subordinate offices. Since they are perforce to come in contact with large number of persons visiting the concerned offices, we suggest that instructions may kindly be issued that only employees/officials, beyond the age of 50 are posted to man those front offices.

(5) The instruction to the effect that officials who have children of less than 5 years of age might work from home, appears to have been withdrawn. This may be restored as children are prone to virus infection much more faster than elderly persons.

We request comprehensive instructions covering the above suggestions my please be caused to be issued as early as possible.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

R. N. Parasar
Secretary General

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas for extension of time limit by three months w.e.f. 01.07.2020 for availing the benefits of “Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana” for Ujjwala beneficiaries

The Government had announced a relief package ” Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana” aimed at providing a safety net to the poor and vulnerable who had been hit the hardest by the pandemic. The package also included relief for poor families who had availed of an LPG connection under PMUY. Under the PMGKY-Ujjwala, it was decided to provide free of cost refills for PMUY consumers for a period of 3 months w.e.f. 01.04.2020.

Under the Scheme, Rs. 9709.86 Cr was transferred directly into the bank accounts of Ujjwala beneficiaries during April- June 2020 and 11.97 Crore cylinders were delivered to the PMUY beneficiaries. The scheme went a long way to ameliorate the suffering and disruption caused due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

On review of the scheme, it has been observed that a section of PMUY beneficiaries are yet to utilize the advance credited into their account to purchase the cylinder refill within the scheme period. Hence, the Cabinet has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas to extend the time-limit for availing the advance by three months. This will benefit those PMUY beneficiaries who have been credited with the advance for buying the cylinder, but have not been able to purchase the refill. Thus, the beneficiaries who already have the advance transferred to their account can now take the free refill delivery till 30th September.
