Subject :
Non payment of RPLI incentives to Sub Divisional Heads.
Respected
Madam,
PLI
Directorate vide letter No. 26-2/2009-LI dated 16-01-2013 has issued
clarification about admissibility of incentive to SDI/ASP for
verification/scrutiny of RPLI proposals clarifying that neither the Directorate
letter no 26-02/2009-LI dated 18.9.2009 nor any other subsequent letter has
been superseded by any of Directorate letter. Unfortunately despite clear and
repeated instructions most of the postal divisions in the country are not still
paying incentive equal to 10% of the
procurement commission paid to the Gramin Dak Sewaks and Gramin Dak BPM’s whose
proposals are verified by such SDI/ASP. As such these orders are found
not implemented in true spirit.
Furthermore, the PLI/RPLI work has
long back been decentralized to the Divisions except Surrender and Death
claims. This has increased enormous work pressure on the Divisional Office,
particularly, the IPs and ASPs working in the Divisional Office. At present
Inspectorial Staff are burdened with variety of duties in addition to what has
been enumerated in Chapter-III of Postal Manual Volume-VIII. The honorarium
paid to the Inspectorial Staff attending to the scrutiny of new proposals is
Rs. 2/- per proposal subject to ceiling of Rs. 4000/- p.a. The ceiling of Rs.
4000/- p. a. honorarium was fixed by the Department of Personnel & Training
which includes, the honorarium paid for conducting departmental inquiries as IO
or PO and also other allied additional works.
The quantum of honorarium paid for scrutiny
of PLI/RPLI proposals is no commensurate with the quantum of work performed and
the ceiling on honorarium is a major setback for the Inspectorial Staff working
in Divisional Offices. The Association requests your kind honour to replace the
existing system of payment of honorarium for this work without a ceiling limit
of Rs. 4000/- and Inspectorial Staff may be remunerated at the same rate not as
honorarium but as incentive that do not have any limitations. Also call for
reports from Circles why incentive equal to 10% of the procurement commissions as
required in Directorate letter No. 26-2/2009-LI dated 16-1-2013 of the procurement
commission paid to the GDS whose proposals are verified by SDI (P)/ASP is not
being paid despite clear instructions on the issue.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-

Sir,
ReplyDeleteThis is need of the hour as our Sub-divisional ASP/IP are working under stress in remote/hilly areas away from their family member. They are already facing financial hardship by way of less HRA, managing separate establishment etc. Timely payment of incentive will improve their financial position. This issue also needs to be persued by all Circle/Asst Circle secretary.
