Several relaxations brought in GP Fund rules

Several relaxations brought in GP Fund rules 

In a major relief for government employees, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has announced several relaxations in General Provident Fund Rules, with liberalization and simplification, particularly relating to advances and withdrawals by the subscriber/ employee. 

According to the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh, the existing GP Fund (Central Service) Rules came into force way back in 1960 and even though certain amendments have been made from time to time to address the concerns raised, it was felt to be the need of the hour to bring in some more changes for the convenience of the Government employees. The liberalization in the provisions was essentially meant to bring in ease of procedures, especially for activities like house building, education of children etc., thus making the rules more employee-friendly. 

Elaborating further, Dr Jitendra Singh stated that the requirement of documentary proof for withdrawing GP Fund has been done away with. As a result, a simple declaration by the subscriber / employee would suffice henceforth, he added. Similarly, the minimum time limit for sanction and payment of GP Fund withdrawal would not be more than 15 days and in case of an emergency like illness, etc., it could only be 7 days. At the same time, the limit of withdrawal also has been increased following which, now the withdrawal for housing can be up to 90% of the balance at credit and withdrawal for purchase of vehicle / car can be up to 3/4th of the balance at credit. 

Considering the importance of education, the definition of education for the purpose of withdrawal of GP Fund has now been widened to include primary, secondary and higher education covering all streams and institutions. Not only this, GP Fund advance can now also be applied for travel and tourism related activities, he said. 

Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Government expects its employees to work with full dedication, sincerity and diligence, but at the same time, it is also always seriously considering various means and provisions to provide them with a work-friendly environment and socio-economic stability, so that they may put in their best without any unnecessary distraction.

PM Narendra Modi, has decided to let go of non-performing officers and those with suspect integrity by giving them compulsory premature retirement.

PM Narendra Modi, has decided to let go of non-performing officers and those with suspect integrity by giving them compulsory premature retirement.

It is time for Indian bureaucrats to remember school. Or rather, that cold and terrible sweat before exam results.

The performance of those who have either completed 30 years in service or reach 50 years of age, whichever comes earlier, will be reviewed, according to a recent Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) order. Those who get negative reviews will be given a three-month notice to retire.

The DoPT, headed by PM Narendra Modi, has decided to let go of non-performing officers and those with suspect integrity by giving them compulsory premature retirement.

Whenever the services of a public servant are no longer useful to the general administration, the officer can be compulsorily retired for the sake of public interest, said the DoPT circular. For better administration, it is necessary to chop off the dead wood.

The relationship of the NDA government with its employees has seen ups and downs. This is not the first time that the government has sighted rules to ensure transparency. Earlier, the government had amended the All India Service (conduct) Rules, 1968, to include a 19-point guideline for bureaucrats which mandates that they maintain 'political neutrality' and 'take decisions solely in public interest', among other clauses.

Detailed instructions have been issued for reviewing the quarterly performance of officers. The DoPT cited various Supreme Court observations for assessment of such cases. On integrity, the circular quoted the SC: "The officer would live by reputation built around him. In an appropriate case, there may not be sufficient evidence to take punitive disciplinary action of removal from service. But his conduct and reputation is such that his continuance would be a menace to public service and injurious to public interest."

Sighting FR 56(j), the rule pertaining to compulsory retirement, the order has asked every department to set up a two-member review committee which will screen officers and employees based on the internal feedback and yearly appraisal reports.

For Group A officers, secretaries of departments would head review committees. The Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of departments will mark cases where the record reflected adversely on the integrity of the gazetted officer. The CVOs are an extension of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC ). The Government of India has about 45 laky employees.

Service record

For reviews, the entire service record will be considered, DoPT said. An officer could also be appraised on the basis of how she dealt with files or by delving into other documents and reports prepared and submitted by her. The instructions from Cabinet Secretary Pradeep Kumar Sinha also underlined the need for rotating officers working in sensitive and nonsensitive posts.
Our government has always believed in transparency. The PM has assured minimum government and maximum governance.

This circular is a step in that direction, minister for department of personnel and training Jitendra Singh said. "It is a welcome step, this will help cleanse the system and ensure that those who have been misusing the system. It is necessary for the government to ensure periodic reviews," said BJP MP and former home secretary RK Singh.

"It is a welcome step by the government. Now the deserving and hard-working will get a chance to get ahead rather than those serving political masters. It will give us an incentive to perform and even go against politicians if the latter want to pressurise us to do something wrong," said a senior Haryana IAS officer posted in Rohtak, requesting anonymity.

But the review needs to be done regularly, say after every ten years. At 50 years, if some officer is let go for wrong conduct, it is hardly a punishment as he or she has had the best of time.

Centre to ensure Rotation in respect of all Sensitive Posts in Railways

Centre to ensure Rotation in respect of all Sensitive Posts in Railways

New Delhi: Based on a complaint by a Member of Parliament Mr.Patole, to the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu, demanding shifting of railway officials occupying sensitive posts in the Railway Board, Zones, Divisions and importantly in the Workshop areas for years together, the Ministry of Personnel and Training (MoPT) has passed on instructions to all the government departments to ensure rotation in respect of all sensitive posts as immediately as possible.

Patole said that in a meeting held by Cabinet Secretary last month with senior officers of all ministries on mechanisms to adopt to ensure probity among government servants, it was emphasized that rotation needed to be carried out in respect of sensitive and non-sensitive posts and screening of officers. “All ministries have been directed to look into the matter and send inputs to vigilance section at the earliest. These details are also to be made part of the monthly DO letter to be sent to secretaries concerned,” said Patole.

Patole in his complaint had said that though Prabhu was making all out efforts to bring railways back on track, officials and their secretaries sitting on the same posts in commercial and vigilance departments for more than 15-20 years were creating hurdles in the process. There is already a Railway Board circular issued on February 18, 2009, about rotation of officials working in sensitive posts. The circular clearly states that based on Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) directives, officials manning sensitive posts should be rotated every two-three years to avoid developing vested interests.

Patole said as per the communication received from Prabhu’s office, any violation in this regard was required to be intimated to the Adviser (Vigilance) and CVO of the ministry of railways for remedial action. The matter was discussed by the full board and it was decided that tenure of officials on sensitive posts should continue to be four years. Despite that, Patole received a list of over 150 officials, secretaries, directors and personal secretaries posted in the Railway Board itself for more than 20 years in the same office.

In Nagpur division of South East Central Railway (SECR) and Central Railway, there were many officials and subordinates in sensitive posts for years together. Patole said rotational transfers were not being implemented and had urged Prabhu to do the needful.

It was also brought out that in locations like Kharagpur Workshop (Wagon Shop) etc., where iron scrap material is abundantly dumped by Railways, it was an established fact that a RPF Inspector is in continuous loot of the iron material rendered scrap who is also in connivance with the local goons. Surprisingly it is also learnt that his monthly illegal earnings are reportedly to be more than Rs.15-20 Lakhs on an average from the illegal theft of scrap material from the Kharagpur Workshop (Wagon Shop). However the concerned officials are not even bothered atleast to save the revenues of Railways, particularly when the Railway Minister himself is struggling hard to raise enough funds for modernisation of Indian Railways.  Can such loopholes/incidents be considered as the acts of responsible Railway servants sufficiently involved in derailing/thwarting the process of Railway Minister’s efforts by rendering the IR bankrupt in their respective jurisdictions?

The MP is highly particular on such culprits who are actually derailing the Railways and pushing the system bankrupt further.

Strict disciplinary action shall be taken against regular latecomers – Dopt Orders

Strict disciplinary action shall be taken against regular latecomers – Dopt Orders

DoPT Orders Disciplinary Action on Regular Latecomers

“Fingerprint-based biometric devices have been installed to accurately record the time of entry and exit of employees. This system greatly reduces chances of error.”

The Department of Personnel & Training is the coordinating agency of the Central Government, has issued an order yesterday which suggests that disciplinary action be taken against Central Government employees who are regularly late to work.

All Central Government employees should adhere to the time guideline. A number of employees have made it a habit to report late to work. Strict disciplinary action shall be taken against such employees.

All employees of the Central Government, from the lowest ranked staff to the highest-level authorities, should be punctual. According to current guidelines, twice a month, the employees can be late to the office by an hour. Any more late-coming shall be treated as half-day’s leave of absence. If the employee is late for genuine reasons, then the senior official has the discretion to excuse him/her.

Concerned ministries should ensure that the employees report to work on time. Regular circulars shall be issued regarding this, periodically.

At many Central Government offices, the employee’s arrival and exit is being recorded by Aadhaar card-linked fingerprint-based biometric devices. But, the system has not been installed at all the offices. In offices where the biometric system has not been installed, attendance is recorded in a register in which the employee has to sign everyday. The biometric system shall soon be implemented all over the country.
