Executive Summary
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.

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.

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 1st 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 10th 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.
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
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.

At present due to non-posting of Draughtsman in they are compelled to

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 21st 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 post may be placed in the

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.
