POST
OFFICE SMALL SAVINGS SCHEMES
UNDER
HEAVY ATTACK
GDS
MEMBERSHIP VERIFICATION PROCESS STOPPED.
IMPLEMENTATION
OF GDS COMMITTEE REPORT DELAYED FOR ONE YEAR, STILL PENDING WITH FINANCE
MINISTRY.
HOLD PROTEST
DEMONSTRATIONS AT ALL CENTRES AND IN FRONT OF ALL OFFICES ON 23.10.2017.
FEDERAL
SECRETARIAT WILL MEET AND DECLARE FURTHER COURSE OF ACTION.
Dear Comrades,
Government has unleashed a sudden and most
damaging attack on Post office Small Savings Schemes. Notifications are already
issued permitting all Nationalised Banks and three Private Banks ( ICICI Bank ,
AXIS Bank and HDFC Bank) to accept deposits for all Small Savings Schemes viz ;
Recurring Deposit (RD) , Time Deposits (TD) , Monthly Income Scheme (MIS)
Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) , Sukanya Samridhi Account (SSA) , Kisan
Vikas Patra (KVP) and National Savings Certificate (NSC VIII issue) with effect
from 10th October 2017.
This is a great blow to the
Post office Small Savings Schemes and will be a threat to the job security of
Postal Employees and also MPKBY /SAS Agents. About 40% of the Revenue and about
50% of the workload of Post office depends on the Post office Small Savings
Schemes. Outsourcing of POSSS work to Banks will result in steady fall in
Revenue and Workload of Postal Department.
GDS Committee Report , though
submitted to Govt on 24th November 2016 , is still pending with
Finance Ministry for approval. GDS Membership verification process has been
suddenly stopped by the Government.
Overall situation in Postal
Department is worsening day by day and resentment of the Employees is
mounting.
NFPE CHQ views the above
situation with grave concern and calls upon the entirety of Postal and RMS
employees including GDS and Casual labourers to conduct mass protest
demonstrations at all Centres and in front of all offices on 23rdOCTOBER
2017.
Urgent meeting of NFPE Federal
Secretariat to be held shortly will announce further course of action.
Yours fraternally,
R.N.PARASHAR
Secretary General
NFPE
