GOVERNMENT PLANS TO SEPARATE INDIA POST’S FUNCTIONS

 

The government is planning to separate the functions of policy making, regulations and operations of the over 150 year-old Department of Post (DoP)

.

Sources in Ministry of Communications and IT said Kapil Sibal has asked for setting up a body to oversee the unbundling of DoP's functions.

An independent body named Postal Development Board (PDB) will be responsible for the overall development and governance of the postal sector, they added. The PDB will also draw a road-map for unbundling of postal department functions

.

"The idea is to develop Indian postal sector as a full-fledged market, bring in more service providers to enhance employment and contribution to nation's GDP," a senior ministry official said.

A recent review meeting of the entire sector, chaired by Sibal, found that in some European countries' the sector contributes between 0.6-0.9 per cent of their GDP.

However, the contribution of the estimated Rs 15,000-crore Indian Postal sector is much lower. Private players have been demanding unbundling of the department's functions for a level-playing field and growth of the sector.

At present, DoP -- which has around 5 lakh employees -- is the sole body responsible for policy making, regulations and providing postal service.

The over 100-year old Indian Post Office Act, which governs the sector, bars any individual or entity from delivering letter for commercial purpose.

The business of private courier companies is built around delivering documents, parcels and others items which do not fall under the category of 'letter'.

Sibal has asked DoP to create a framework to support small and medium postal operators and new models to encourage entrepreneurship in the sector.

The minister has also instructed DoP to constitute a Postal Advisory Board (PAB) which should have representation from government, industry players, academics and other stakeholders.

The role of PAB will be to provide inputs to PDB on policy matters. PDB will be set up under Secretary (Posts) and will include Secretaries of Department of Economic Affairs, Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Department of Commerce and two members from Postal Services Board.

CIRCULAR NO. CONF/10/2012 DATED: 17th  JULY, 2012

Dear Comrades,

                We have already placed a gist of discussions and decision of the 4^th National anomaly Committee meeting held today on agenda items that came up for consideration.  The Staff Side of the National Council met on 16^th.  The issue of the non functioning of the JCM at the Departmental level and the ineffectiveness of the council meetings wherever it meets were the subject matter of serious discussions at the Staff Side. The last meeting of the National Council was held in 2010.  The non acceptance of the arbitration awards, the inordinate delay in taking final view of items introduced as agenda by the official side and the non issuance of orders on agreed items, the refusal to record disagreement and refusal to refer the issue to arbitration etc. were raised by the members of the Staff Side.  It was therefore, decided that this issue should be taken up seriously by the leader and Secretary in their initial remark at the NAC meeting and should elicit concrete response from the official side. 

                Accordingly the Leader, Com. Raghaviah and Com. Umraomal Purohit, Leader and Secretary, Staff Side in their opening remakrs made a strong presentation of this issue and conveyed the growing resentment of the employees.  Both the Secretary General and President supplemented this presentation with further information and conveyed to the official side that while the non functioning of the Departmental Councils were restricted to a few Ministries in the past, as at present, it has been spread to almost all Ministries barring Railways, Defence and to a small extent to the Postal Department.

                The Chairman, while responding to this complaint said that he would elicit the information  from all Ministries/Departments as to when the last meeting of the Council was held, whether the Anomaly Committee had been constituted and if so what was the stage at which its deliberations are and monitor its functioning effectively and take up the grievance expressed by the staff in this regard with the highest authority in the Government to ensure that the machinery is brought to effective functioning system.

                With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Item No.22. Anomaly in the pay scales of Stenographers of field offices with reference to Central Secretariat:  It was pointed out that Senior PS in the field offices were on identical pay scale of PPS  of the Central Secretariat and therefore, they must be granted grade pay of Rs. 5400 in PB3.   They have agreed to grant Grade pay of Rs. 5400 in PB.2 applicable to the field offices.  In respect of parity with Central Sectt, the proposal of Railway Board will be expeditiously examined by the Finance Ministry and suitable orders issued.

POST OFFICE BANK PROPOSAL AWAITS RBI NOD

POST OFFICE BANK PROPOSAL AWAITS RBI NOD

Chennai, July 9 (IANS) The government is awaiting the Reserve Bank of India's nod on a proposal to spin off the savings account operations of post offices into a bank, Sachin Pilot, union minister of state for communications and information technology, said Monday.

Pilot also said the government is drawing up a plan to revive the loss-making Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and will soon roll out a new policy on electronics hardware manufacturing.

"We are waiting for a reply from RBI on our proposal to float post office bank," Pilot told reporters here.

The government, however, does not have any plans to spin off the postal life insurance business into a separate company. "The postal life insurance is doing well in providing affordable policy for rural people," he added.

Pilot was in the city to inaugurate a new research and development (R&D) facility of Alcatel Lucent India.

Asked about the turnaround plans for BSNL, he said: "We are drawing up the plan. Some circles are now earning profit. We are looking at BSNL floating joint ventures to use its assets in an efficient way."

On the proposed electronics policy, he said the Indian electronics (mobile phones, consumer durables and others) market is around $45 billion now and expected to grow to around $400 billion in 10 years time.

Pilot said the government is planning to stipulate certain percentage of components to be locally sourced, but declined to specify any number.

He said the merging of IT and telecom is creating a new opportunity for India and the focus of the government is on boosting the electronics manufacturing in a major way.

About the IT industry, Pilot said the sector is expected to grow 17 percent next year and the target is $300 billion by 2020 from the current $100 billion.

He urged the domestic IT companies to diversify their exports rather than focusing just the US market.

Referring to the rural connectivity plans, Pilot said the centre has written to all the states to provide right of way free of cost for laying the optic fibre connecting villages across the country.
