FAQs related to the New Pension Scheme (NPS)
Written By Admin on 23 February 2013 | Saturday, February 23, 2013
1. Whether a retiring Government servant is entitled for leave encashment after retirement under the NPS?
Answer : The benefit of encashment of leave salary is not a part of the retirement benefits admissible under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. It is payable in terms of CCS (Leave) Rules which will continue to be applicable to the government servants who join the government service on after 1-1-2004. Therefore, the benefit of encashment of leave salary payable to the governments/to their families on account of retirement/death will be admissible.
2. Why is it mandatory to use 40% of pension wealth to purchase the annuity at the time of the exit (i.e. after the age of 60 years) from NPS?
Answer : This provision has been made in the New Pension Scheme with an intention that the retired government servants should get regular monthly income during their retired life.
3. Whether any minimum age or minimum service is required to quit from Tier-I?
Answer : Exit from Tier-I can only take place when an individual leaves Government service.
4. Whether Dearness Pay is counted as basic pay for recovery of 10% for Tier-I?
Answer : As per the New Pension Scheme, the total Dearness Allowance is to be taken into account for working out the contributions to Tier-I. Subsequently, a part of the “Dearness Allowance” has been treated as Dearness Pay. Therefore, this should also be reckoned for the purpose of contributions.
5. Whether contribution towards Tier-I from arrears of DA is to be deducted?
Answer : Yes. Since the contribution is to be worked out at 10% of (Pay+ DP+DA), it needs to be revised whenever there is any change in these elements
6. Who will calculate the interest PAO or CPAO?
Answer : The PAO should calculate the interest.
7. What happens if an employee gets transferred during the month? Which office will make deduction of Contribution?
Answer : As in the case of other recoveries, the recovery of contributions towards New Pension Scheme for the full month (both individual and government) will be made by the office who will draw salary for the maximum period.
8. Whether NPA payable to medical officers will count towards ‘Pay’ for the purpose of working out contributions to NPS?
Answer : Yes. Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has clarified vide their O.M. no. A45012/11/97-CHS.V dated 7-4-98 that the Non-Practising Allowance shall count as ‘pay’ for all service benefits. Therefore, this will be taken into account for working out the contribution towards the New Pension Scheme.
9. Whether a government servant who was already in service prior to 1.1.2004, if appointed in a different post under the Government of India, will be governed by the CCS (Pension) Rules or NPS?
Answer : In cases where Government servants apply for posts in the same or other departments and on selection they are asked to render technical resignation, the past services are counted towards pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Since the Government servant had originally joined government service prior to 1-1-2004, he should be covered under the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.
Post offices across the country will be online integrated into a single network
Written By Admin on 01 April 2013 | Monday, April 01, 2013
Post offices across the country will be online integrated into a single network, Union Minister of State for Communications and IT Killi Kruparani said on Sunday. “Post offices have more account holders than banks and more customer-friendly services are in the offing”, she said, at the foundation stone ceremony for a modern post office at Kukatpally.
The new post office is being constructed at a cost of Rs.2 crore and will be one of the hubs for the ‘Logistic Post service’. The Minister explained that under ‘Project Arrow’ 149 post offices were modernised in the State and another 48 were in the pipeline while Aadhaar-enabled pension disbursement and other monitory benefits would also be taken up. Around 1,000 POs across the country would be equipped with ATMs along with GIS maps and the Mobile Money Order facility would be introduced in October, Ms. Kruparani said. An ultra modern Automated Mail Processing Centre will be inaugurated at Shamshabad soon. She also said that more post-offices would be built through PPP model. LSP chief Jayaprakash Narayan, Chief Postmaster General Karuna Pillai and Director of Postal Services Mariamma Thomas were present.
ATM IN ALMOST ALL POST OFFICES
“We will connect the network of 1.55 lakh post offices that includes 1.2 lakh in rural areas,” said Kavery Banerjee, member, technology, postal services board. “Our central data centre is ready and vendors are developing customised banking service solutions.”
POSB operates small savings schemes on behalf of the ministry of finance and has over 260 million account holders, out of which about 200 million are saving and recurring deposit account holders. Total outstanding balance under all accounts in the POSB stood at around Rs.3,96,664 crore as on March 2012.
At present, an account holder has to go to a post office during office hours to withdraw money. Moreover, there is no facility of electronic transfer of money to a third-party account.
“Once customers are provided with the ATM facility, they will be able to withdraw money from any ATM, including that provided by banks,”said Banerjee.
Customers will, however, have to wait for more than a year to avail the ATM facility. POSB will start implementing core banking solution in limited number of post offices by the end of this year. Next year, it will be implemented in large number of post offices once the system is perfect.
For rural post offices, the department will provide handheld devices that will enable one to perform all banking operations.

THE SILENT OBVIOUS TRUTH OF VICTIMIZATION OF THE GRAMIN DAK SEVAK
THE MOANING OF GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS IS
NEVER ENDING, WHY?
_________________________________
Before going to just my view, I shall light on some facts-1 .Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) are the example of the than British ruled Indian innocent citizens .Like the British rulers had no any mentality to uphold the Indian human race as they did not consider (Indians) their own asset of human resource .Since long though the GDS is the base pillar of the department ,The Departmental will power have never been taken so rigidly the fact to let the GDS mass to uphold in the mentality that the GDS are EXTRA DEPARTMENTAL(as if the Indian was for the British).
2 .GDS has been considered neither Departmental nor Extra Departmental Agents. Because they are not allowed many facilities like,(i) to take part in Indian political activities,(ii)Forbidden to do jobs in other private organisations,(iii)they can not take any agency,(iv)their spouse can not become MPKPY/SAS Agent,
nor(v) they have any clear cut time length in a day of their service in practical.A GDS is instructed to enhance the business for the department ( like the honey bee collects honey for the human to enjoy) ,(vi)to use his cell phone to take the snap in necessary ,to open SB a/c of an investor going beyond his duty hour ,though the poor GDS may not have the mobile with camera.(vii)GDS are not allowed to work under proper Service Rule of India's constitution.
These are all in a separate name of 'GDS engagement rule 'not the 'GDS Employment rule'.See how brutally the Postal Department is conceived the rule in the name of 'Natarajmurty pay commission committee'
God knows whether nataraj murty were independent or was remote by the Departmental Management.Because the Department for fare deal of the GDS case could appoint the independent judicial concern but not the rtd, departmental DG ranked person like Nataraj Murty who had no grass root idea about a Gramin dak sevak other than the knowledge of administration to favor the Postal management to give profit, like the brutal East India Companies'Officers were doing for the English.
3 .On this day the Postal Department is planning to commence the 'Post Bank of India'.It is a high esteemed proposal .But just the project is taken for the pervaded catering of the Rural Post Offices,Where 266000nos
of poor GDS are MOANING and working faithfully to the Department with unjustified brutal facilities to them.
GDS is now MOANING in the rural area and raises his two hands like Draupadi did in Kurusava to get help
It is only the CRY of the GDS Please Help....Help..... Help.....and anticipate that on Posts Bank Of India project He is going to get the sigh of relief if the present Postal Management,and the Central Government
could pay heed unlike they did earlier.
