Executive Summary

1. Introduction

The Department of Posts & Telegraph was established in the year 1837 by the East India Company serving at the initial only covering the Government Mails to various parts of the country including the Military/Defence Services. After independence of the country the Department of Posts & Telegraph continued to be in mail service of the across the country and foreign countries and it is a lifeline of the country till today.

After Independence of the Country various Governments were in process of the progressive Nation Building and the Central Public Works Department was assigned all works of Government of India except Railways and Defence Sector. The works of the Post & Telegraph Department was progressing with Telecommunication Systems also it was decided to create a separate Civil Wing under the Department in the year 1963. Even the Budget in the Parliament was separate affair for the Department of Posts and Telegraph which was renamed later as Department of Posts & Telecommunications and was having the monopoly in the sector of mail movement as well as telephone and telegraph sector.

The objective and duties of the P&T Civil Wing was the construction of Departmental Buildings and maintenance of existing heritage buildings with its archeological and ambience which was constructed by the British Government and in possession of the Department of Posts & Telecommunications. The responsibilities assigned to the Civil Wing by the Department are being attended with meager staff effectively.

Considering the vast growth of telecommunication sector the Government of India have bifurcated the Department as Department of Posts and Department of Telecommunications with effect from 01.01.1985 but the P&T Civil Wing continued to be combined set up till 1993. When it was decided to bifurcate the Civil Wing in 1993, 99.3% Group-C & D staff have opted for the service in Department of Telecommunication and they have been accommodated as Telecom Office Assistant in the pay scale starting from 975/- as per the IVth CPC pay scales. The major chunk of the Civil Wing units have also been transferred to Department of Telecommunications leaving only 14 SAG posts 31 Divisional level and 89 Sub-Divisional level offices including Civil and Electrical Wings. Moreover the Assistant Director (Bldg.) and Junior Engineer (Bldg.) in Circle Offices also exists. Thereafter the Postal Assistants working in operative and administrative offices were working on temporary transfer basis they were also drawing 975/- minimum pay as per the IVth CPC till 1996. All the technical staff from the level of Chief Engineer up to the level of Junior Engineers, Draughtsman was working on temporary posting basis from Dept. of Telecommunications.

On bifurcation the Department of Posts left out with posts mentioned below as on 01.01.1996 :-

Sl.No.	Designation	No. of posts transferred from DOT
1	Junior Engineers (Civil/Elect)
2	Draftsman (Civil/Elect)
3	Works Clerk Grade-II	339
4.	Works Clerk Grade-I	117
5.	Head Clerk now designated as Assistant	27
6	Office Superintendent	9

The Department of Posts have never conducted a work study of the Civil Wing Units along with other units and kept out of the purview of the benefits extended to various cadres in the Department of Posts. Hence the cadre review is necessitated to boost the Civil Wing administrative and technical cadre of Junior Engineers, and Draughtsman and also technical and non-technical MTSs. to cater the present technological growth of the Department and effective remuneration benefits for their devotion to duty.

3. Cadre wise situation analysis, duties & responsibilities, Issues/

1. Technical Cadres

2. Multi Tasking Staff

The present Multi Tasking Staff (Technical), (Group- C) prior to VI Central Pay Commission (CPC) were designated as Ferro Printer, Jeep Driver, Plumber, Carpenter, Mason, Lift Operator, Pump Operator, AC Mechanic, Wireman, Sewer Man(Group-D).. The Pre –Revised Scale of Pay of feeder Cadre was 2550-55-2660-60-3200 (S1)

In VI CPC the MTS categories were brought under one Scale i.e. (Pre-Revised Rs. 2550-55-2660-60-3200 (S1) to Rs. 5200-20200 with G.P 1800/- along with general Group-D officials in Civil Wing. With this, the Recruitment Rules have become unsuitable for these Cadres as they become the feeder Cadre to highly skilled/skilled cadres . Further, VI CPC in Para no.3.83 recommended the following.

“In all future recruitments in the Central Government would only be in the posts belonging to Group-C or higher categories carrying minimum qualifications as Matriculation or ITI.”

1. Duties and responsibilities of MULTI TASKING EMPLOYEES

The Skilled/Semi Skilled MTS undertake the following duties and responsibilities:

i) Diagnose the defects and attend to all type of minor repairs of Departmental buildings, electrical appliances in the Post Offices and Staff Quarters.

ii) Attend to major assemblies, overhauling, replace worn-out spare parts, check the electrical appliances, sewer, water supply in staff colonies etc. etc.

iii) Obtain annual fitness certificate from various authorities for supply of water, electricity etc. etc. after following prescribed procedure

xii. Attend any other work assigned to him in the interest of service.

Table No.1 MTS staff in CPWD establishments
SL NO	CATEGORY	PAYBAND & GP
1	Un Skilled	PB-1 WITH GP Rs. 1900.
2.	Semi skilled	PB-1 WITH GP Rs.2400.
3.	Skilled	PB-1 WITH GP Rs.2800.
4.	Foreman	PB-2 WITH GP Rs.4200.

45% of the posts may grant the pay scale of Skilled Worker (GP of Rs.1900 in PB-1).

25% of the remaining 55% may grant the pay Scale of MCM (GP of Rs.4200 in PB-2), and the remaining posts may be divided in a ratio of 50:50 and re-designated as Semi Skilled (GP of Rs.2400 in PB-I) Skilled (GP of Rs.2800 in PB-I).

Whereas for Direct Recruits as per amendment vide DG P&T letter no.65-6/79/NCG dated “A certificate in the respective trade from any Technical Institution recognized by the Govt. OR VIII Std pass with experience of one year in the respective trade “is needed. The age limit for direct recruits is 18-30 years as on 1^st July of the recruiting year.

Due to fast growing technological changes in the electrical Industry, adoption of electronics supporting equipments etc., the Skilled and Semi Skilled are expected to have sound technical knowledge and qualifications. Therefore, we are of the view that, the educational qualifications for recruitment of Skilled/Semi skilled should be enhanced. It is informed that in the Department of Defence, CPWD and Railways got better promotional prospects for similar kind of work.. This is resulting in frustration and unhappiness among the MTS Cadre.

The Foreman should be a promotional post for Skilled MTS. . The Foreman will be experts in their related field and they play important role to ensure proper supervision to Skilled to Unskilled MTS. Staff for attending the works without any hindrance for the functioning of Post Offices and Staff Colonies.

Further, the VI CPC recommended creation of new grade of Master Craftsman as an incentive to the Highly Skilled Artisans to remain in their own line and to enable Government to retain experienced and skilled staff in many critical trades. We would like to point out by Staff side representatives that Master Craftsman designation is available in Railways, in the PB-2 with GP Rs.4200/-. We request to follow the same in Civil Wing which can be designated as Foreman equivalent to Master Craftsman in Railways.

Eligibility Criteria for Promotions

i) Foreman should have completed minimum 9 years of regular Service in the skilled grade to get the eligibility

ii) Skilled MTS should have completed minimum 6 years of regular Service in the Semi Skilled or a combined service of 15 years in Semi Skilled and Unskilled grade put together to get the eligibility

iii) Semi-Skilled should have completed minimum 6 years of regular Service to get the eligibility for Unskilled MTS

MTS may be allowed to appear for Departmental examination subject to fulfilment of eligible criteria as per Recruitment rule

We propose for amendment to the existing Recruitment rules

2. Issues and Grievances

The following suggestions/issues related to this cadre have been put before the Committee:

a) Enhance the educational qualifications at the entry level according to requirement of the post

b) The promotional avenue for MTS may be arrived at based on the CPWD/Railways and Defence Services Model

c) Up gradation of Pay Scale to Foreman Rs 3200-85-4900(S6)

d) GP of Foreman should be fixed as Rs.4200/- on promotion from eligible Skilled MTS

e) Feeder cadre MTS Skilled should be granted PB-3 with GP Rs.2400/- and educational qualifications with 10th Class with ITI in respective disciple

f) Those who are in Semi skilled cadre should be placed in PB-3 with GP Rs.2000/- with 10^th Class with ITI in respective disciple.

We propose that the MTS (Technical) category of staff undertake risky and arduous nature of work, involving working in polluted and unhygienic environment beside performing very hard physical labour. Due to this nature of duties, we demand good future promotional prospects to this cadre, besides financial up gradation under MACP already exists but on hierarchy of posts. We suggest enhancing educational qualifications of this category besides imparting good promotional avenues and future to this Category.

It is highlighted that the MTS cadre is badly neglected and not having adequate promotional avenues on par with the other units of Department of Posts, though both are joining in the same Pay Band and GP at the entry level. This anomaly in the cadre should be removed by amending the policy of promotion to MTS on par with equivalent cadres of Department of Posts. This will reduce unrest amongst the Technical MTS personnel and improve their working efficiency besides maintaining the balance in the organization structure.

2. Non Technical Cadres – Multi Tasking Staff

Non Technical Cadres include Chowkidars, Jamedars, Water Woman, Office Peon, Sweepers and Duftarie, etc. MTS (Non Technical) are recruited as per instructions from the Government of India from time to time

Duties and responsibilities

i) Maintenance of Diary/Dispatch/Movement Registers including entry in computer and physical maintenance of records.

ii) Submission of periodical statements of routine nature like absentee statement etc.

iii) Preparation and submission of indents with the approval of Supervisor.

iv) Photocopying and sending of fax messages.

v) Delivery of Dak within and outside building.

vi) Watch and Ward/Care Taker duties, opening and closing of rooms, general cleanliness and upkeep of section/unit/office including dusting of furniture, cleaning of building, rooms, fixtures; upkeep of parks, lawns, potted plants etc.

vii) Other non-clerical work in the section/unit.

2. Issues/Grievances

a) The issues/grievances of the cadre should be studied by the Cadre Restructuring Committee

b) The periodicity of MACP may be reduced to eight years.

c) MTS (Non Technical) may be allowed to appear for the Departmental Examinations of the Department for various cadres according to their qualification.

3. Proposal

The existing MACP is applicable to the MTS (Non Technical) cadres. As per the existing MACP rules, the periodicity is for 10 years. Any reduction of periodicity for MTS (Non Technical) cadres will have implications for other cadres. However, it is a fact that there are no promotional opportunities for promotion to MTS (Non Technical) cadre resulting in frustration and unhappiness among the cadre. We are of the view that better promotional avenues should be made available for MTS (Non Technical) cadre.

WORKS CLERK GRADE-I / II

1. Duties & Responsibilities

Works Clerk Grade-I & II staff, work in the administration section dealing with administrative matters. All the staff matters, including, leave granting, transfers, deputation, disciplinary, legal, and administrative matter is dealt by this section. Monthly regular statements on various subjects, important events, correspondence with higher and lower offices relating to Parliament questions and other statements, disposal of leave applications of staff and disposal of RTI applications is dealt by this section. This section deals with the matters related to Maintenance of Service books, Monthly accounts returns, Scrutinizing Medical bills and advances for sanctioning, preparation of Pension papers for onward submission to Director of Accounts, Pay bills preparation, and Processing Vehicle maintenance and repair bills etc

2. Issues & grievances

I) The Ministerial staff of Postal Civil Wing are recruited to the post of Works Clerk Grade-II (LDC) in the then pay scale of `950-1500 (IVth CPC) in 1996 subsequently revised by the Vth CPC to `3050-4590 with effect from 01.01.1996. On implementation of VI CPC they were placed at Pay Band-1 (5200-20200)+Grade Pay `1900/- with effect from 01.01.2006. At this stage we would like to state that as per the recommendation of the IVth Pay Commission implementation the differences of Pay of Postal Assistant and Works Clerk Grade-II in Civil Wing was only `25/- i.e. 975-1500 & 950-1500 and the Postman was at the scale of pay starting from `825/- As there was no Civil Wing Cadre Union was available at the time of Vth Pay Commission nobody represented for enhancement of scale of pay equivalent to other cadres of Department of Posts and the Department also neglected our cadre to bring at par with the other cadres. The Fifty Pay Commission has recommended for Postal/Sorting Assistants minimum as `4000 and the Postman as `3200 whereas the Works Clerks Grade-II were placed at `3050/- and Works Clerk Grade-I at `4000/-. Further to state that the administrative offices like circle office and regional office was also following LDC/UDC pattern till implementation of Vth Pay Commission with effect from 01.01.1996 but it was upgraded to Postal Assistant Cadre. The only left cadre was Civil Wing employees.

In brief the Postman who are drawing less pay in IV Pay Commission that the Works Clerk Grade-II in the Department of Posts were placed at higher level without considering the sensitive works carriers of the Department. All other units of the Department of Posts have revised the scale to `4000-6000 since 01.01.1996 but we were denied the benefits.

Currently the Works Clerk Grades of Civil Wing are covered by MACP Scheme under which only financial up-gradations are given. There are only promotional avenues to this cadre. As they are entering in the feeder cadre along with Postal Assistants in PO’S, SBCO, CO/RO, RLO, RMS and Foreign Post Organization with same procedure syllabus and Scheme, they may be treated on par with others and for all promotions in different cadres they may be made eligible to participate in the competitive examinations and vice versa. This will open promotional avenues to them.

The suggestion for giving fast track promotion and upgrading to GP Rs.2800/- in PB-1, after attaining 8 years of Service, to GP Rs.4200/- in PB-2, after attaining 15 years of Service and to GP Rs.4600/- after attaining 18 years of service,

We are forwarding the request for giving fast track promotion and upgrading to higher GP for Civil Wing

CONCLUSION

The 21^st Century requirement of the Department of Posts as a whole is providing good service to the general public in good ambience by introducing the latest technology development in all aspects. To reach the aim there is a need for strengthened infrastructure development is required then only the competency will enhance and best attractive point of service to the general public will achieve.

At the time of currency of the Vth Central Pay Commission all the posts of Civil Wing was occupied by the staff of Department of Telecom optees hence there was no representation before the CPC was made bringing the importance and sensitive nature of work they have undertaking for the Department and hence neglected in all spheres except general recommendations.

As furnished in previous paras the duties of Civil Wing Staff are of the sensitive in nature like preparation of tender documents, agreements, contractor bills, uploading of tenders, dealing with RTI cases, Dealing with Court and Arbitration Cases, Taxation System, Budget Management, Establishment cases such as recruitment, promotions, disciplinary proceedings and also the vigilance related matters which requires high attention. All the Draughtsman post are lying vacant they are compelled to look after their duties also like preparation of estimates, extra item statements, deviation statements, preparation of rate analysis.

As all technical nature of works on the basis of contractual agreements, if there is any mere lapse of concentration and absence of mind happens there will be a loss to the Government and invites legal implications. Hence the boosting of remuneration will enhance the output from the staff side for the betterment of the Department.

Over and above the staff working in Civil Wing is liable to be posted in co-ordination circle jurisdiction which includes hard areas, islands and troubled Indo-Bangaladesh, China & Pakistan states. The liability of transfer is only available in the Department of Posts rests only in Civil Wing

The comparative Statement of the staff strength at various stages are furnished as below :-

Designation	Sanctioned Strength

Junior Engineers (Civil)		202	202	195
Junior Engineers (Elect)		74	74	74

Works Clerk Grade-II	339	161	161	74
MTS (Technical)			165	165
MTS (Non Technical)			671	671

From the above it may be seen that the staff strength in Postal Civil Wing as on date for catering the entire country’s demand of the Department may be put under work study and creation of posts is required. However, we are now considering the cadre review all aspects have been placed on those issue and we demand the same may be decided at the earliest with effect from 01.01.1996. The details are annexed hereto:-

For W.C.Gr-II, computer knowledge is also essential. It is justified to be placed in the Level 4 (Grade Pay of Rs.2400/-) by re- designating the cadre as Civil Works Assistant Grade-II
2	Works Clerk Grade-I Level 4 (5200-20200 GP 2400)	Civil Works Assistant Grade-I Level 6 (5200-20200 GP `4200)	By promotion 50% seniority cum fitness & 50% Departmental Examination.

They even have to deal with court cases, Arbitration Cases etc. They are equally capable of doing Accountant work. Hence these W.C.Gr-Is are to be placed in the Level 6 (Grade Pay of Rs.4200/-) by replacing this cadre with Civil Works Assistant Gr.I

4	Office Superintendent Level 6 (9300-34800 GP Rs.4200)	Assistant Administrative Officer Level 8 (9300-34800 GP `4800)	By Promotion 100% by Seniority cum Fitness	---	As per the CPWD norms. The Office Superintendent has to look after establishment works and other sensitive works of the Circle office.

5	-	Administrative Officer (JAG) Level 9 GP `5400	By promotion 100% by seniority cum fitness	…	The post may be placed in the office of the Chief Engineer for assisting the administrative matters as Administrative Officer Group-A

Necessary modifications in the Recruitment Rules have to be made by the Department. As there is already considerable reduction of posts we are having no proposal for matching savings to the financial implications hence we have not calculated the same. However, we propose to abolish the posts of Engineering Assistant to Superintending Engineers and the post either Assistant Accounts Officer or Senior Accounts Officer in Postal Civil/Electrical Divisions as the Assistant/Junior Administrative Officer proposed can handle all the works pertaining to Civil Wing offices as they are well versed with the functions, rules and regulations of Civil Wing.

We are submitting this proposals with great expectation for a favorable consideration from the Department and we hope the aspirations of Civil Wing Employees will be meted out with effect from 01.01.1996.
