உங்களிடம் பான்கார்டு உள்ளதா? இல்லையென்றால் நீங்கள் கூடுதல் வரி செலுத்த வேண்டியிருக்கும் ஏப்ரல் 01,2010,10:26
புதுடில்லி: உங்களிடம் பான்கார்டு உள்ளதா? இல்லையென்றால் உடனே பான்கார்டுக்கு அப்ளை செய்யுங்கள்! இல்லையென்றால் உங்கள் வருமான வரி தொகையில் 20 சதவீதம் கூடுதலாக செலுத்த வேண்டி இருக்கும்.
இந்த சட்டம் இன்று முதல் அமலுக்கு வருகிறது. பான்கார்டு(பர்மனென்ட் அக்வுண்ட் நம்பர்) எனப்படும் நிரந்தர கணக்கு எண் அட்டை இல்லாதவர்களுக்கு இன்று முதல்(ஏப்ரல் 01ம் தேதி), அவர்களது சம்பாதிக்கும் வருமானத்திற்கு ஏற்ப 20 சதவீத வரி விதிக்கப் படுகிறது.
வங்கிகளில் செய்யப்படும் டெபாசிட்டுகள் வாயிலான வட்டி வருவாய் மற்றும் இதர வழிமுறைகள் வாயிலாக வருவாய் ஈட்டுபவர்களிடமிருந்து அவர்களது வருவாயில் 2-10 சதவீதம் உடனடியாக அந்த இடத்திலேயே வரியாக பிடித்தம் செய்யப்படுகிறது. இந்நிலையில், இவர்களிடம் சூபான்கார்டு' இல்லாவிட்டால் அவர்களிடம் ஏப்ரல் 1-ந் தேதி முதல் 20 சதவீத வரியை வங்கிகள் அல்லது நிறுவனங்கள் உடனடியாக பிடித்தம் செய்துவிடும்.
நாட்டின் மக்கள் தொகையுடன் ஒப்பிடும்போது, வருமான வரி செலுத்துபவர்கள் எண்ணிக்கை 3.30 கோடி என்ற அளவில் மிகவும் குறைவாக உள்ளது. இதனால், பான்கார்டு வைத்திருப்பவர்களின் எண்ணிக்கையை அதிகரிக்க மத்திய அரசு விரும்புகிறது. இதன் மூலம் யாரும் வருமானத்தை குறைத்து காட்டி வரி ஏய்ப்பு செய்ய முடியாது.
வரி செலுத்தும் அளவிற்கு வருமானம் இல்லாத மூத்த குடிமக்கள் படிவம் 15-எச் ஐ தாக்கல் செய்து வரி பிடித்தம் செய்வதை தவிர்க்கலாம். இந்நிலையில், இவர்கள் சூபான்கார்டு' வைத்திருக்காவிட்டால், வட்டி வருவாய் போன்ற வருவாய்களை ஈட்டும்போது, 20 சதவீத வரி உடனடியாக பிடித்தம் செய்யப்படும்.

வங்கி சேமிப்பு கணக்கில் உள்ள பணம் நாளை முதல் தினமும் வட்டி அமல் :
மும்பை: இந்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கியின் உத்தரவின் பேரில், வங்கிகளில், சேமிப்பு கணக்கு வைத்துள்ள வாடிக்கையாளர்களின் கணக்கில் உள்ள பணத்திற்கு, ஏப்ரல் 1ம் தேதி (நாளை) முதல் தினசரி அடிப்படையில் வட்டி வீதம் கணக்கிடப்பட உள்ளது. ஒருவரின் சேமிப்புக் கணக்கில், ஒவ்வொரு மாதமும் பத்தாம் நாள் முதல் அந்த மாதத்தின் கடைசி நாள் வரை இருக்கும் குறைந்தபட்ச தொகைக்கு வட்டி கணக்கிடப்படும் நடைமுறை இதுவரை பின்பற்றப்பட்டது.
இந்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கி கவர்னர் டி.சுப்பாராவ், கடந்தாண்டு ஏப்ரல் 21ம் தேதி வெளியிட்ட ஆண்டு ரிசர்வ் வங்கி கொள்கை திட்டத்தில், 'சேமிப்பு கணக்கிற்கான வட்டி வீதம், தினசரி அடிப்படையில் கணக்கிட வேண்டும்' என, பரிந்துரைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. இதற்கிடையில், சேமிப்புக் கணக்கிற்கான வட்டியை குறைக்குமாறு, வங்கிகள், இந்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கியை வலியுறுத்தி வருகின்றன. ஏனென்றால், தினசரி வட்டி வீதம் கணக்கிட்டால், தங்களின் கையிருப்பு குறையும் என, வங்கிகள் கருதுகின்றன. தற்போது, சேமிப்பு வங்கிக் கணக்குகளுக்கு ஆண்டுக்கு 3.5 சதவீதம் வட்டி வழங்கப்படுகிறது.
இதுகுறித்து நிபுணர்கள் கூறுகையில், 'மாற்றியமைக்கப்பட்ட வட்டி வீதத்தின் படி, பெரியளவு தொகையுடன், அடிக்கடி பண பரிவர்த்தனைகள் செய்பவர்களுக்கு, தினசரி கணக்கில் உள்ள பணத்தின் அடிப்படையில் அதிக பயன் கிடைக்கும். எனினும், பணப்பரிவர்த்தனைகளை பொறுத்து, டிபாசிட்தாரர்கள் 1.5 சதவீதம் முதல் 2.8 சதவீதம் வரையிலான வட்டி இனி கூடுதலாகப் பெறலாம் என, கணக்கிடப்பட்டுள்ளது' என்றனர். இது வரை சேமிப்புக் கணக்கில் உள்ள பணம் அதிகளவில் தூங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்த நிலைமாறி, ஏதோ சிறிதளவு பணம் வட்டியாக வரும் வாய்ப்பை இந்த நடைமுறை ஏற்படுத்தும். ஆனால் இதை வங்கிகள் அமல்படுத்த முழுவதும் கம்ப்யூட்டர் மூலமான கணக்கு பரிவர்த்தனை வசதி தேவை. அதைப் பொறுத்து ஒவ்வொரு வங்கியும் தன் கிளைகளுக்கு இந்த நடைமுறையைக் கொண்டு வரும் என்று கூறப்படுகிறது.

Tatkal Proof of Adderss Card in Chennai
CHENNAI: India Post Chennai region will issue ‘Proof of Address' (PoA) card through tatkal system on pilot basis from April onwards.
Launched during October 2008 in the Chennai city region on a pilot basis, the ‘Proof of Address' card enables residents, travelling businessmen, sales and marketing personnel and students to prove the validity of their latest address to apply for passport, driving licence, ration card, gas, telephone connections and open bank accounts.
Talking to The Hindu on Monday, Chennai City Region Postmaster General M.S. Ramanujan said: “Usually, it takes more than 15 to 20 days to issue a card. We have been getting half-a-dozen phone calls from students and VIPs asking for ‘PoA' cards in three or four days to enable them to apply for passport. We have been turning down their requests. In the existing scheme of things, we cannot jump the queue for them. We thought about a fast track channel and came up with the tatkal system.”

GoI orders
01. Govt employees can travel first class from April 1 :
With signs of economic revival becoming more pronounced, the government has relaxed the austerity drive undertaken last year and from April 1, government employees will be allowed to fly first class.
"The matter has been reviewed and it has been decided that with effect from April 1, 2010, travel on government account by air, both domestic and international may take place by the entitled class," an official statement said.
Last September, in the midst of the global financial crisis, the government had directed its employees not to fly first class on government account, irrespective of their entitlement, and fly economy for all domestic travels.
However, the government has not relaxed the austerity directive in case of Leave Travel Concession (LTC).
"...austerity measures will remain in place for travel by air (where admissible) on LTC, which would continue to be restricted to economy class irrespective of the entitlement," the Finance Ministry statement said.
The Indian economy slowed down in 2008-09 after being hit by the global financial crisis triggered by the collapse of US investment bank Lehman Brothers and other Wall Street titans beginning September 2008.
The country grew at a subdued rate of 6.7 per cent in 2008-09 after growing at around 9 per cent per annum for the preceding three financial years. In 2009-10, the economy is projected to grow by 7.2 per cent and by 8.5 per cent in 2010-11.

02. 'Govt employee has fundamental right to be considered for promotion' :
The Supreme Court has ruled that a Government employee has a fundamental right to be considered for promotion and it is mandatory for the Centre and States to carry out cadre review of eligible officers for promotion to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).
"The right of eligible employees to be considered for promotion is virtually a part of their fundamental right guaranteed under Article 16(Equality of opportunity in matter of public employment) of the Constitution," a bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and A K Ganguly held in a recent judgement.
The apex court passed the judgement while directing the Centre and the UP Government to consider the promotion of two State cadre officers-Hemraj Singh Chauhan and Ramnawal Singh to the IAS.
"We hold that the statutory duty which is cast on the State Government and the Central Government to undertake the cadre review exercise every five years is ordinarily mandatory subject to exceptions which may be justified in the facts of a given case," the bench said.

Seniority not a fundamental right: Central Administrative Tribunal
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has said that public employees cannot claim seniority as a "fundamental right".
"As per the settled law, seniority is not a fundamental right of a public employee. It is only a civil right. There cannot be any change in this contrary to the principles of natural justice," the Tribunal bench, comprising Members Shanker Raju and Veena Chhotray, said.
The Tribunal said this while refusing to set aside an order by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi(MCD) revising the seniority list of its junior stenographers, It dismissed the petition of junior stenographers seeking to quash the order of the civic agency which had revised their 1988 seniority list.
The Tribunal noted that seniority list of junior stenographers was revised in 2000 by the MCD after duly considering the objections invited by it after circulating a provisional seniority list.
"The revision of seniority list of 2000 had been preceded by circulation of a provisional seniority list and inviting the objections. Even though the applicants still insist that their objections had not been considered, this is not proved," it said.
The Tribunal rejected the plea of violation of natural justice of petitioners on the ground that no proof in the form of relevant document was produced in support of it.
The petitioners, M S Thakur and others, were aggrieved at the changes in the revised seniority list of 2000 and approached the Tribunal for relief.

An article published by Shri S. Samuel, General Secretary, All India Association of Inspectors and ASPs is reproduced below for information.
Normally, any departmental examination for promotion is held every year depending upon year-wise vacancies so that the eligible candidate for a particular year vacancy would get opportunity to get selection for subsequent year vacancies. But disregarding all principles, the department conducted Group B examination by bunching of vacancies for four years viz. 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Our Association objected to it. But the Department did not heed. Some of IP/ASP filed cases before CAT Madras and CAT Patna and prayed for a stay order. The honourable CATs at that time rejected to pass stay order. Though the single selection for all the four years is prejudicial to majority of the eligible candidates the Department successfully conducted the examination. With a result many juniors who were not at all eligible for the vacancies of 2004, 2005 and 2006 were allowed to appear, got selected and promoted. Now many ineligible candidates are working as PS Group B officer. The CAT Madras passed an order in OA 64/08 and some of the relevant paragraphs are reproduced below:
“ 15. If the selection for promotion is based every year separately for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, depending upon year-wise vacancies, the eligible candidate for 2003 who did not get selection for the year vacancies, would get opportunity to seek selection for subsequent year vacancies and because of bunching of vacancies for all the four years and holding single selection is prejudicial to majority of the eligible candidate and such selection is detrimental to the eligible employees for whose purpose it has been intended. The respondents have not placed any instruction of guidelines in support their claim for holding the single selection by bunching of vacancies for 4 years or several years.
16. In view of such circumstances as discussed above, the decision to bunch the vacancies for all the four years together and holding a simple selection is discriminatory, arbitrary, unfair and also amounts to defect the selection.
17. In spite of objections raised by the applicants by way of representations an also by filing of this OA, the authorities have not taken any care and proceeded further in conducting examinations. The authorities have completed most of the selection procedure in conducting examination and also declared the result of the successful candidates in the written test.
18. In view of such circumstances, if this selection is restricted for the vacancies for the year 2003, no harm would be caused to any of the eligible candidates who faced the examination and selection for the year 2003 is held valid and the selection for the vacancies for 2004, 2005 and 2006 are held to be defective, arbitrary, irrational and discriminatory. Thus the claim of the applicants is allowed partly, directing the respondents to secure year-wise vacancies for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 in respect of promotion to the cadre of Postal Services Group B by preparing year-wise list of eligible candidates and also vacancies and thereafter hold fresh Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE), restricting the present selection only for the year 2003.
19. In the result, the OA is partly allowed as above, with no order as to costs.”
Note:
What is the use of this order? The Department has deliberately conducted this examination. No relief was given by the CAT to affected candidates at that time. Selected candidates have now promoted and working in the higher posts. Justice is supposed to be delivered in time.
Justice delayed is Justice denied!

GoI orders
Cabinet Secretary's DO letter No 11 01710412010-AIS-III dated 3.3.2010 addressed to all Chief Secretaries of States/Union Territories is reproduced below for information.
Dear Chief Secretary,
Of late there have been some disturbing incidents which call for serious introspection by civil servants. It is important that we ponder over the manner in which we discharge our duties and fulfil our responsibilities and what we need to do to refurbish our image.
2. Civil servants are appointed on the basis of a fair and open competition. We must respond in full measure to the faith that citizens have reposed in us and meet their hopes and aspirations of good governance. Integrity, honesty, objectivity, impartiality, transparency, accountability and devotion to duty are the core values which civil servants should cherish and which should form an integral part of our decisions and actions.
3. The issue of corruption needs to be addressed fairly and squarely. The Government's policy of zero tolerance for corruption must be implemented fully and effectively. Preventive vigilance should be strengthened. Transparency must be introduced in decision making and in all our systems. Stringent action must be taken against officers found guilty. Disciplinary proceedings must be expedited.
4. We need to stand by and uphold our core values. Senior officers must set an example and mentor their colleagues. The Civil Services must work moleheartedly to provide good governance.
5. Please share these sentiments with all officers. Let us resolve to serve the nation and the citizens in a committed manner.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
( K.M. Chandrasekhar )

Launch of NPS
Coimbatore March 7, 2010 :
Commissioner of Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax, C. Rajendiran on Saturday launched the New Pension Scheme (NPS) through India Post as a Point of Presence (POP) wherein the Head Post Offices would initially market the scheme.
Launching the scheme, Mr. Rajendiran said that post offices were a bridge between people and Government departments. The Department would play a pivotal role in every one's life. “Change is a must for growth and post offices have changed over a period both in terms of appearance as well as services”.
He exhorted the postal staff to follow a corporate culture and be a trendsetter for others to emulate and pointed out that network and identity with the people was the strength of the department.
The Postmaster General, Mr. Rajarajan, said that the Department would act as a POP for extending the new pension scheme on behalf of the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).
The scheme was being made available through head post offices on an experimental basis in Coimbatore region of Tamil Nadu and Southern Region of Karnataka. In the first phase, 21 head post offices in the nine districts of Western Region namely Coimbatore, R.S. Puram, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Erode, Bhavani, Gobichettipalayam, Namakkal, Tiruchengode, Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Pollachi, Udumalpet, Salem, Aatur, Suramangalam, Tirupur, Dharapuram, Mettupalayam, Tirupattur and Gudiayattam will act as POP. The department would operationalise the NPS in terms of subscriber registration for opening new pension account, acceptance of forms, verification, processing and forwarding the forms to Central Record Agency-Facilitation Centre, initial contribution processing, regular subscriber contribution upload through Meghdoot Software, subscriber servicing, grievance handling and MIS uploading.
Any Indian citizen in the age group of 18 to 55 years could join and continue till 60years. Minimum contribution is Rs. 500 a month and Rs 6,000 per annum and there should be a minimum of four contributions. Account holders could decide on the frequency and extent of contribution across the year as per their grievance. Subscribers' contribution would be invested as per the scheme preference opted by the subscriber and options are low risk: low returns, moderate risk: moderate returns and high risk and high returns. The subscriber could opt for the options failing which the investment would be done in auto choice considering the age of the subscriber. The pension contribution would be invested in various schemes by any one of the seven pension fund managers appointed by PFRDA. The return on investments would be in the range of six to seven per cent.

Respected Sir,
Sub: Harassment of IPs/ASPs in Southern Region-Regarding
Ref: Director, O/O PMG, Southern Region, Madurai letter No.DPS/Misc/09 dated 09.01.2010
It is strange to notice that such kind of letter as referred to above(a copy of which is enclosed for ready reference) was issued by the Director, Southern Region, Madurai stipulating motives and sweeping charges against our cadre only.
All are aware that there is no total prohibition in Tamilnadu and consuming liquor is not a sin or crime as per the belief of people who consume drinks. Some consumes it as medicine prescribed by the doctor and others for their pleasure. This is the universal procedure accepted by everyone as this is the case pointing out a particular cadre for commitment of this act and generalizing and accusing as if all IPs and ASPs in Southern Region are habituated to this practice. This view strongly hurts the sentiments of our cadre. Instead of taking action against the erring official, sending such kind of common circular deserves strong condemnation. Such kind of sweeping accusation against a particular cadre shows biased mind of the administration against this cadre. This kind of act will in no way enhance the dignity of administration but only demoralize the cadre and lose hope of protecting the sincere and loyal workers. This Association strongly condemns the attitude of the administration and request to withdraw the said letter immediately. If no positive action is taken, the regional administration cannot expect any cooperation from our members in future and the Association will be forced to take-up the appropriate trade union action.
Thanking you sir,
With profound regards,

OUR GS LETTER TO Chief PMG, TN IS REPRODUCED BELOW.
ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF
INSPECTORS AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS POSTS
CHQ: No.CHQ/IASP/01 date: 18th January 2010
To
Shri. S.K.Chakrabarti
The Chief Postmaster General
Tamilnadu Circle,
Chennai 600002
Sir,
I request you to kindly go through the attached communication No.DPS/Misc/09 dated 09.01.2010 issued by DPS, Southern Region, Madurai to all Divisional/Sub Divisional Heads in Southern Region.
All IPs and ASPs feel that it is a direct assault on the cadre of Inspectors and Assistant Superintendent Posts and only reveals the mind of the author to belittle the cadre before the operative staff rather than find solution to unhealthy situations through reformative process. The cadre of Inspector Posts, known for its knowledge of rules and regulations, knows very well the meaning of Rule 22 of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and its implications.
The all pervading retail “Arrack shops” run by TASMAC is a menace not only to the Department but also the family dependent on the official. If any higher officer regularly visits any Post Office, he would understand the practical situations and how the officers at supervisory level struggle to maintain command and control over field staff.
It would not be out of place to mention here that there are several officers in JAG and SAG level in Department of Posts who share their evenings and rest hours with IMFL in the company of IPs and ASPs, the cost of such entertainment being borne by the respective IPs and ASPs. Sometimes, IP/ASPs are forced to supply liquor to higher officers. We also hear that the DPS, Southern Region demands especially non-vegetarian food from Divisional heads and IPs and ASPs for himself and also for those accompanying him. This Association believes that it would be wrong to generalize such individual acts and we have therefore refrained from taking any steps to high light such individual aberrations.
-2-
The present circular casts a slur on the image on the cadre. Tamilnadu is the only Circle where large number of women have chosen to serve as Inspectors and there can be no doubt that these Inspectors and ASPs command good respect and support from field staff. By generalizing an individual act, an attempt is being made to malign the character of the entire cadre. More particularly,as it applies to women IPs and ASPs also, it tantamounts to direct sexual harassment of women IPs and ASPs in the strict sense of the term. .
The IPs and ASPs in Southern Region are being ill treated by the DPS, Southern Region by compelling them to perform odd jobs and indirect favours unconnected with the official work. We learn that he is forcing IPs/ASPs to do his personal work and also the personal work of his relatives/friends visiting Tamilnadu on sight-seeing trip. The Inspection vehicles of Divisions are forcibly misused by him and his visiting friends and relatives. The IQs/Holiday Homes in the Region meant for officers and staff of Department are always reserved for his friends/relatives.
The circular, obviously issued to malign the cadre has totally demoralized the entire cadre. This is the only cadre which works hard, day and night without proper infrastructure and supporting staff. IPs and ASPs do not sit in A/C comfort and enjoy higher pay and perks. Even legitimate grade pay is being denied to this cadre. While all other Departments have settled the anomalies, the Department of Posts is yet to study the anomalies relating to this cadre. Still the IPs and ASPs are putting in their best. The circular is therefore provocative in nature, obviously done to derive undue benefits under duress.
This Association does always believe in maintaining good relationship with administration. A solitary act has to be dealt with as such and generalization is bound to have a deleterious effect and harm the good relationship with the Administration. The IPs and ASPs are bound to be looked down upon by such uncharitable generalized observations. This Association therefore demands that this objectionable circular should be withdrawn immediately in the interest of the entire cadre and also the administration at Divisional level. This alone would pave way for assuaging the hurt feelings of this cadre and reassure them to give their best even in adverse situations. We believe that the Circle Administration would do the needful.
Yours sincerely,
(S.Samuel)

All IPs and ASPs feel that it is a direct assault on the cadre of Inspectors and Assistant Superintendent Posts and only reveals the mind of the author to belittle the cadre before the operative staff rather than find solution to unhealthy situations through reformative process. The cadre of Inspector Posts, known for its knowledge of rules and regulations, knows very well the meaning of Rule 22 of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and its implications.
The all pervading retail “Arrack shops” run by TASMAC is a menace not only to the Department but also the family dependent on the official. If any higher officer regularly visits any Post Office, he would understand the practical situations and how the officers at supervisory level struggle to maintain command and control over field staff.
It would not be out of place to mention here that there are several officers in JAG and SAG level in Department of Posts who share their evenings and rest hours with IMFL in the company of IPs and ASPs, the cost of such entertainment being borne by the respective IPs and ASPs. Sometimes, IP/ASPs are forced to supply liquor to higher officers. We also hear that the DPS, Southern Region demands especially non-vegetarian food from Divisional heads and IPs and ASPs for himself and also for those accompanying him. This Association believes that it would be wrong to generalize such individual acts and we have therefore refrained from taking any steps to high light such individual aberrations.

The present circular casts a slur on the image on the cadre. Tamilnadu is the only Circle where large number of women have chosen to serve as Inspectors and there can be no doubt that these Inspectors and ASPs command good respect and support from field staff. By generalizing an individual act, an attempt is being made to malign the character of the entire cadre. More particularly,as it applies to women IPs and ASPs also, it tantamounts to direct sexual harassment of women IPs and ASPs in the strict sense of the term. .
The IPs and ASPs in Southern Region are being ill treated by the DPS, Southern Region by compelling them to perform odd jobs and indirect favours unconnected with the official work. We learn that he is forcing IPs/ASPs to do his personal work and also the personal work of his relatives/friends visiting Tamilnadu on sight-seeing trip. The Inspection vehicles of Divisions are forcibly misused by him and his visiting friends and relatives. The IQs/Holiday Homes in the Region meant for officers and staff of Department are always reserved for his friends/relatives.
The circular, obviously issued to malign the cadre has totally demoralized the entire cadre. This is the only cadre which works hard, day and night without proper infrastructure and supporting staff. IPs and ASPs do not sit in A/C comfort and enjoy higher pay and perks. Even legitimate grade pay is being denied to this cadre. While all other Departments have settled the anomalies, the Department of Posts is yet to study the anomalies relating to this cadre. Still the IPs and ASPs are putting in their best. The circular is therefore provocative in nature, obviously done to derive undue benefits under duress.
This Association does always believe in maintaining good relationship with administration. A solitary act has to be dealt with as such and generalization is bound to have a deleterious effect and harm the good relationship with the Administration. The IPs and ASPs are bound to be looked down upon by such uncharitable generalized observations. This Association therefore demands that this objectionable circular should be withdrawn immediately in the interest of the entire cadre and also the administration at Divisional level. This alone would pave way for assuaging the hurt feelings of this cadre and reassure them to give their best even in adverse situations. We believe that the Circle Administration would do the needful.
Yours sincerely,
(S.Samuel)
General Secretary
