Expected deficit of Postal Department for the year 2009-2010 is Rs 5632.46 Crore

The Department of Posts has had deficit for the last three years and it is expected to continue in the year also. The details of the deficit for the last three years and the estimates for the current year are as under;
Year
Amount in Crores of Rupees
2006-07 1249.52
2007-08 1511.44
2008-09 3593.09
2009-10 5632.46
The Deficit has substantially increased during the previous year and the current year due to hike in salary of the Employees and Pensionary Charges of the retired employees on account of implementation of 6th Pay Commission’s Report. The main reason is that the rates of most of the postal Services do not reflect the market price as they are subsidized to make it within the reach of common man and to the remotest area of the country. Pricing of most of the products have not been kept with the pave of the cost of operations.
A new scheme “Project Arrow” has been introduced in this plan period for refocusing on the objectives of customer satisfaction and service delivery exchange and enabling the Post Office to develop in to hub for civic and governance initiatives, which will have a direct impact on socioeconomic will being of citizens.
Streamling the postal operations through network optimization, induction of technology and introduction of freighter for mail conveyance. In the areas of financial service the Departmental of post is aggressively pursuing the objectives of the Government for financial inclusion of rural masses through its vast network. This shall also add to the revenue of the Department by way of interest and return through investment in the Post Office Life insurance fund (POLIF) and Rural Post Office Life Insurance Fund (RPOLIF). The Department of Post will also introduce mobile based remittance service across the country.
The Department has been taking step to increase the revenue through introduction of new products, market development activities and adoption of customer oriented strategies. Speed Post, Business Post, Express Post, Retail Posts etc. as premium services have been consistently growing. The Department of Post is also using its vast network fro retailing of financial products and services agency function adding to the Department’s revenue.

UPGRADATION OF PAY SCALE TO INSPECTOR POSTS

Ministry of Finance Vide Memo No F. No 1/1/2008-IC dated 13.11.2009 has revised the GP of Rs 4200/- granted to the existing pre-revised scale of Rs 6500-10500 to Rs 4600/- w.e.f 1.1.2006. The pay is to be refixed and the arrears will be paid immediately. Personal Secretaries of our Department who were in the pre-revised scale of Rs 6500 will be benefited immediately. Our demand for upgradation of pay scales to Inspector Posts at par with the Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC was considered by the Pay Commission and the recommendation given in the report is reproduced below:-

Extract of Para 7.6.14 of Pay Commission recommendations for Inspector Posts.

7.6.14 Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same examination. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on par with Assistants in CSS/Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC. With this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent (Posts) [ASPOs]. ASPOs shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4600. The next higher post in the hierarchy, that of Superintendent (Post), which is also a promotion post for ASPOs, shall be placed in the pay scale of Rs.7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4800. Parity exists between the posts of Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors in Mail Motor Service (MMS). This parity would need to be maintained and Assistant Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in the higher grade of Rs.7450-11500 whose corresponding replacement pay band and grade pay is PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4600. Similarly, Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in PB-2 pay band of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4800 which corresponds to the prerevised pay scale of Rs.7500-12000.

As the Inspectors are already placed at par with pay scale of Rs 6500-10500, the benefit should also be given to Inspector Posts. The case is being taken up with our Department for upgradation of Grade Pay to Inspector Posts from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/-

Simultaneously the grade pay of ASP and Gr B should upgraded to 4800 and 5400 respectively. Our Assoication is on the job. Specific orders will be got issued by the Directorate very soon.

7. A new and peculiar problem has arisen in Maharashtra Circle. ASPs in Goa Region have been issued with Rotational Transfer order on completion of their normal tenure. The order was issued during May 2009. But till date the ASPs are not relieved to join their new posts on the plea that they have not achieved the BD target. Where ever we go, whether it is old post or new post targets are kept ready and waiting for us. It has become our bounden duty to achieve the target. But not relieving an IP or ASP on transfer on this ground is too much. Target can be achieved when the staff are happy. We depend on GDS to achieve any target. We cannot do business without their co-operation in the rural area. While pay and perks of regular employees have been enhanced, the poor GDS are left in lurch. Their long pending grievances regarding revision of their allowances are yet to be settled by the government. General Secretary called on DG Posts on 16.9.09 and brought this matter to the notice of DG. DG Posts was requested to settle the GDS problem first and also help to relieve the ASPs in Goa Region. DG assured to issue positive instructions to chief PMG.
