Minutes of the meeting of the Standing Committee of National Council (JCM)
side under the Chairmanship of Joint Secretary( AV), DOP&T with the Staff
side at 1500 hours on 09.10.2015
Include Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit of 7 thCPC
The Staff Side informed that the Grameen Dak Sewaks are the single largest
source of postal services in the country and therefore there is need for including this
category within the ambit of 7 th CPC.
The representative of Department of Posts informed that there are about 1.75
lakh work force working as Grameen Dak Sewaks. Department of Posts had
reportedly recommended bringing them under the ambit of 7 th CPC. However, as
these employees are not full time government employees, based on the advice of
Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, it has recently been by decided to
constitute a Single Member Expert Committee to suggest pay revision for these
employees.
The Staff Side suggested that if a decision had already been taken to
constitute a single member expert committee, instead of setting up a departmental
head as the expert committee chief, the Government may consider roping in the
services of the 7th CPC Chairman for rendering this service, as the 7 th CPC is
already aware of the working conditions and other relevant factors of central
government employees and would be in a better position to decide the pay revision
of Grameen Dak Sewaks. Department of Posts would be requested to examine this
suggestion of the Staff Side.
