A GREAT GRANT SUCESSFUL MEETING OF POSTMASTERS’ OF MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE

A GREAT GRANT SUCESSFUL MEETING OF POSTMASTERS’ OF MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE

DEAR POSTMASTER,

As long as our ideas are the same, we will never be apart.

Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Unity is power.

We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty; 

some are dull, while others bright some have weird names, but they 

all have learned to live together in the same box.

No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.

One piece of log creates a small fire, adequate to warm you up, add 

just a few more pieces to blast an immense bonfire, large enough to 

warm up your entire circle of friends; needless to say that individuality 

counts but team work dynamites.

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just 

as hard to sleep after.

7% D.A hike is expected from 1st July 2012

7% D.A hike is expected from 1st July 2012

====================================

The Dearness Allowance payable to Central Government Employees and Pensioners is determined based on All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers. AICPI (IW) for the month of June 2012 has increased from 206 to 208.Basing on the calculation, there will be 7% increase and the expected D.A from 1st JULY 2012 is 72%. DA with effect from 1st July 2012 would be officially announced during September/October 2012.

 

The D.A calculation is as follows :-

To calculate Dearness Allowance we require AICPI (IW) for previous 12 months.

 

Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st January every year	(Average of AICPI-IW for the months from January to December of previous year – 115.76)X100/115.76
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st July every year	(Average of AICPI-IW for the months from July of previous year to June of this year – 115.76)X100/115.76
115.76 is a factor which converts 1982 series AICPI (IW) (Base 1982=100), which was applicable prior to 6CPC to 2001 series AICPIW (Base 2001=100). In turn, This is arrived at by dividing the 1982 series AICPI by a linking factor which is 4.63 (536/4.63=115.76)

 

Calculation of DA with effect from 1st July 2012 :-

 

Month	AIl Indian Consumer Price Index (AICPI-IW)
July 2011	193
Aug 2011	194
Sep 2011	197
Oct 2011	198
Nov 2011	199
Dec 2011	197
Jan 2012	198
Feb 2012	199
Mar 2012	201
Apr 2012	205
May 2012	206
Jun 2012	208

 

Average of AICPI (IW) for the period from July-2011 to June-2012 :-

(193+194+197+198+199+197+198+199+201+205+206+208)/12	= 199.58
DA with effect from 1st July 2012	= (199.58-115.76)X100/115.76)
	= 72.41
	Rounded to 72

Review of three years time limit for making Compassionate Appointment

Review of three years time limit for making Compassionate Appointment

 

F.No.14014/3/2011-Estt. (D)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel and Training

North Block, New Delhi,

Dated the 26th, July 2012

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Review of three years time limit for making compassionate appointment.

The primary objective of scheme for compassionate appointment circulated vide O.M. No. 14014/6/94-Estt(D) dated 09.10.1998 is to provide immediate assistance to relieve the dependent family of the deceased or medically retired Government servant from financial destitution i.e. penurious condition. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment dated 05.04.2011 in Civil Appeal No. 2206 of 2006 filed by Local Administration Department vs. M. Selvanayagam ® Kumaravelu has observed that "an appointment made many years after the death of the employee or without due consideration of the financial resources available to his/her dependents and the financial deprivation caused to the dependents as a result of his death, simply because the claimant happened to be one of the dependents of the deceased employee would be directly in conflict with Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution and hence, quite bad and illegal. In dealing with cases of compassionate appointment, it is imperative to keep this vital aspect in mind”.

2. This Department’s O.M. No. 14014/6/1994-Esst.(D) dated 09.10.1998 provided that Ministries/Departments can consider requests for compassionate appointment even where the death or retirement on medical grounds of a Government servant took place long back, say five years or so. While considering such belated requests it was, however, to be kept in view that the concept of compassionate appointment is largely related to the need for immediate assistance to the family of the Government servant in order to relieve it from economic distress. The very fact that the family has been able to manage somehow all these years should normally be taken as adequate proof that the family had some dependable means of subsistence. Therefore, examination of such cases call for a great deal of circumspection. The decision to make appointment on compassionate grounds in such cases was to be taken only at the level of the Secretary of the Department/Ministry concerned.

3. Subsequently vide this Department’s O.M. No.14014/19/2002-Estt.(D) dated 5th May, 2003 a time limit of three years time was prescribed for considering cases of compassionate appointment. Keeping in view the Hon’ble High Court Allahabad judgment dated 07.05.2010 in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 13102 of 2010, the issue has been re-examined in consultation with Ministry of Law. It has been decided to withdraw the instructions contained in the O.M. dated 05.05.2003.

4. The cases of compassionate appointment may be regulated in terms of instructions issued vide O.M. dated 09.10.1998 as amended from time to time. The onus of examining the penurious condition of the dependent family will rest with the authority making compassionate appointment.
