Dear Comrades,

The CCIT(CCA), Kochi called the representatives of ITEF  for a discussion in the wake of the ongoing agitation against inordinate delay in issuing orders of appointment  on compassionate grounds to the dependents of the employees died while in service.

The meeting was attended by Com. K. Babu Thomas (President), Com. K S Sajeev (Genl. Secretary), Com. Narayan Hari (Acting General Secretary) and Com. M R Sabu (Asst. Secretary  and Shri Om Prasad U Menon, Asstt. Commissioner (HQ) from official side besides the CCIT.  The discussion was fruitful.  The CCIT (CCA) informed that two cases has already been done and another one case is being approved.  The CCIT also informed the representatives that there was no conscious delay on the part of the Administration in approving the compassionate appointments and whatever delay that had occured was due to pressing administrative exigencies   The ITEF representatives informed the CCIT that the general perception is on the contrary and the employees of the department believes that the CCIT is reluctant to issue orders in this regard.  To this, the CCIT replied that had there been any reluctance on his part, he would not have issued orders in two cases as has already been done.   He also informed the Federation that the rest of the cases are under process and these cases would definitely be decided upon in this month itself.  On the assurance of the CCIT, the ITEF representatives informed that the agitational programmes announced by ITEF would be kept in abeyance during the month to facilitate a cordial and conducive atmosphere to solve the issue.

In the wake of the above discussion, the agitational programmes announced stands suspended upto 31.5.2013.

The Secretariat  congratulate all the members for diligently participating in all the agitational programmes.

With greetings,

Fraternally yours,

K S Sajeev,

General Secretary.

Dear comrades,

The impasse over the delay in issuing compassionate appointment orders continues even after the ITEF announced a series of agitational programmes. No meaningful dialogue has occurred between the administration and the Federation since the commencement of agitation. Till date order have been issued only in one case. Under the circumstance the ITEF would go ahead with the pre-announced agitational programmes and would explore the possibility of intensifying the agitation if need be.

As a mark of protest against the insensitive and callous attitude of the CCIT towards the dependents of the deceased colleagues, all the ITEF members are requested to wear black badges to work on 06-05-2013. This will be followed by one hour walk out on 07-05-2013 from 11.00 AM.

On 09-05-2013, a 09.00AM to 05.30PM dharna is being organized in front of the CR buildings, Kochi to drive sense into the administrators and make them see light. All the Secretariat members, Branch Presidents and Secretaries are requested to be present at CR buildings on that day at 08.30 AM sharp. The Branch Secretaries may also bring along with them any member interested in participating in the dharna. The participants should proceed to Kochi only after submitting leave applications with their respective Heads of Office.

Yours fraternally

Dear comrades,

The Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena, in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today stated that Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity is paid to Central Government employees under New  Pension System (NPS) as it is paid under the old pension scheme and that the monthly annuity under the New Pension System (NPS) is only a replacement of pension on retirement and family pension of death after retirement.
