Formation of All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association

All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association

The Department of Posts is one of the largest Central Government Departments next to Railways and Defence and the strength of Pensioners of Postal Department is also one of the biggest in the country. NFPE in its 9^th Federal Council had resolved to extend full support and solidarity to the efforts of mobilizing the entirety of Pensioners of Postal Department, especially in the specific background of very serious attacks on Pension and Social Security of all Pensioners and Government Employees under LPG policies of Central Government. We also note with concern that despite the existence and functioning of different Pensioners’ Organizations in the country, more than 80% of Postal Pensioners remain unorganized. 

This weakness has to be eliminated in order to combat the attacks on Pension and Social Security. Mobilization of all Pensioners of Postal and RMS disregarding their union affiliations in the past is the need of the hour.

In this background, the National Federation of Postal Employees extends all support to the endeavor of mobilizing the entirety of Pensioners of the Department of Posts in the country by our retired Comrades, who have served in various capacities in the Postal Unions in the past.

The name of the new Organization will be All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association.

A Steering Committee formed by the senior retired comrades and headed by the under-mentioned comrades with the former Secretary General of NFPE Comrade K.Ragavendran as the General Convenor should be rendered all assistance and help by the entirety of NFPE Organizations at all levels in order to build a strong organization for the Postal Pensioners.

HC asks department of posts to end Speed Post discrepancies

GURGAON: Punjab and Haryana high court, while hearing a public interest litigation, has asked the department of posts, Gurgaon, to settle, in 15 days, the discrepancy surrounding the cost of sending a Speed Post from Gurgaon to Delhi. According to the petitioner, while it costs only Rs 17 to send Speed Post from Delhi to Gurgaon, it costs Rs 39 to send it from Gurgaon to Delhi. The court on Friday gave the postal department to dispose of the petition in 15 days.

A city resident had filed the PIL accusing the department of causing loss to exchequer and cheating people. He has demanded that the department should refund crores of rupees it has charged from Gurgaon residents.

"The very fact that the high court has entertained the PIL shows that it too finds something wrong with the way the postal department is charging fee for Speed Post. else it would have dismissed the petition. Even postal department officials in Gurgaon unofficially admit that what they are charging is not correct but retract from doing what they should because they know that they might have to refund crores of rupees," said Aseem Takyar, the petitioner.

"Earlier, post offices located in Gurgaon charged Rs 17 but from April 2013, onwards, they started charging Rs 35 plus taxes for the 'Speed Post' mails for Delhi/New Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Noida. The reality is, if you send a speed post from the post offices situated at the Delhi-Gurgaon border, which comes under the jurisdiction of Delhi, it will cost you Rs 17 for it to be delivered anywhere in Gurgaon or other NCR regions. At the same time, if you book the same article from Gurgaon, Rs 39 is charged," said Takyar.

"This is unethical. The postal officials in Gurgaon are now scared of repercussions for charging excess fee and I hope they come out with a solution within these 15 days and also refund those from whom they have charged extra since April this year," he said.
