Disbursement of Old Age, Disability and Widow Pensions

Resolution of technical issues, if and when faced by the Banks, in dealing with assistance being disbursed through them is an ongoing process. No Bank has raised any issue related to any specific training requirement for their human resources for handling the pension issues.

Government has adopted the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Scheme for direct transfer of benefit into the bank/post office accounts of beneficiaries of schemes under National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP). Instructions have been issued to the States for getting the due consent for seeding the Aadhaar details. Instructions also mention that disbursement of pension of any beneficiary could not be affected due to non-availability of Aadhaar number. Further, NSAP guidelines provide that given their physical, social and economic vulnerability, States should ensure that an infirm/old beneficiary will not have to travel far distance to access his/her pension account. As far as possible, for people who cannot cover distance physically, the objective is to provide door step delivery.

Several Banks in many states are using the services of Bank Sakhi’s coming from self help groups to provide cost effective solutions for delivery of pensions at home.

Revised guidelines for closure of CPSEs

Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) has revised the guidelines on time bound closure of sick and loss making Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and disposal of their assets on 14th June, 2018. The revised guidelines replace the earlier guidelines issued on 7.9.2016.

The new guidelines prescribe timelines for step by step process to be completed by the CPSE under closure and disposal of its assets. The entire process of closure of a CPSE and disposal of the assets is to be completed within a period of 13 months from the zero date i.e. date of issue of minutes conveying the approval for closure of sick and loss making CPSE by the Government.

In the new guidelines, priority has been given for use of land of CPSEs under closure for affordable housing. The land identified for affordable housing shall undergo the process of disposal as per the guidelines of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

The guidelines on time bound closure of sick and loss making CPSEs uniformly provide for payment of VRS or VSS at 2007 notional pay scale to employees of CPSEs under closure irrespective of the existing pay scales of the company.

Transfer Policy

In terms of instructions issued by Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) on transfer/posting of Government employees, all Ministries/Departments of Government of India are required to have their own guidelines for transfer/posting of their employees providing for the following –

  1. minimum tenure;
  2. have a mechanism akin to Civil Services Board for recommending transfer; and

Respective Ministries/Departments are also required to place the transfer policy in public domain.

There is no proposal to formulate single transfer policy for the Government employees as guidelines for transfer/posting of employees depend on the specific requirement of individual Ministries/ Departments. Moreover, the State Public Services are under State List for which the State Governments are competent to make rules and policies. Accordingly, there is no proposal to constitute any commission for single transfer policy for both Central & State employees.

Will the Minister of COMMUNICATIONS be pleased to state:

(b) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor;

ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (IC) OF THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS &
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS

(SHRI MANOJ SINHA)

(a) No, Madam. No such proposal is under consideration of Government.

(b) The revised Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA) as per the new TRCA matrix have been brought into effect with effect from 01.07.2018 after combining of different TRCA slabs viz 3 (three) hours, 3 ½ (three and half) hours and 3 hours and 45 minutes (three hours and forty five minutes) to four hours, while four and a half hours has been merged with five hours. Since the revised TRCA is based on increased minimum working hours, which takes prospective effect, hence retrospective revision of enhanced working hours is not possible.

(c) & (d) No, Madam. The Gramin Dak Sevaks are holders of civil post, though such posts are outside the regular civil services. GDS are not required to perform duty beyond a maximum period of 5 hours in a day. One of the conditions for engagement as GDS is that they ought to have other sources of income, besides allowances paid by the Government, for adequate means of livelihood for themselves and their family. The livelihood of the GDS is safeguarded under Article 311 (2) of the Constitution of India.
