GRANT OF LEAVE TO THE STAFF WORKING UNDER HSG-I POSTMASTER

D.G. Post No. 51-4/2011-SPB-II   Dated 01.08.2011

            It is observed that HSG-I Postmaster is competent to grant only casual leave to the staff working under him/her. The applicants for grant of other kind of leave to staff are forwarded by him/her to the Division Office for approval. It has been brought to the notice of the Directorate that at times the said procedure takes time and if such officials who do not have casual leave left in their accounts want to proceed on earned leave immediately due to some unforeseen circumstances, they face problems in proceeding on leave at short notice.

2.         The matter has been looked into. It has been decided by the competent authority in the Directorate that in such pressing circumstances HSG-I Postmasters while recommending earned leave may relieve the official of his duties in anticipation of grant of leave by the competent authority provided:

            i.          The earned leave applied for by the individual is not for more than the                                period of three days.

         iv.        The official may be relieved after duly following the procedure   of                                       

                      handing/taking over the charge.

Press Trust of India / New Delhi August 02, 2011, 19:32 IST<><><><>

Dear Comrades! you are aware that the Confederation has been demanding for the enhancement of the interest rate on the GPF of Central Government Employees and this had been one of the demands of the CG Employees Charter. Now according to the PTI, a Parliamentary Panel headed by the former Finance Minister Sri. Yashwant Sinha has recommended hike to the GPF interest rates. We are reproducing the news item [Central Government Employees News]: A Parliamentary panel today asked the Central government to increase the rate of return on provident fund for its employees in the light of rising bank rates and EPFO's decision to hike its rate to 9.5% for 2010-11. "The rate of interest on General Provident Fund (GPF) which is pegged at 8% may be reviewed so that government employees are not put to any disadvantage more so now when the interest rates for bank deposits has also been raised," the Standing Committee on Finance suggested in its report. If the suggests of the panel finds favour from the government, over 50 lakh Centre's employees will stand to benefit. The panel headed by former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, pointed out that retirement fund body Employees Provident Fund Organiation has also increased rate of interest on PF deposits to 9.5% for 2010-11 from 8%. The EPFO had been paying 8.5% interest on PF deposits since 2005-06. In September last year, it had recommended an increase in interest rate to 9.5% for 2010-11 after discovering Rs 1,731 crore surplus in their books of accounts. In the present scenario, the bank rates are also increasing. Reserve Bank of India has increased its short term lending and borrowing rates by half a percentage point to 8 and 7%, respectively in its recent quarterly review unveiled on July 26. Following the central bank's rate hike, some private and public sector have also hiked their rates.
