The CWC of AIPRPA held at Chennai has resolved to organise a
nationwide Programme of Action by the Postal & RMS Pensioners to highlight
the important issues of Pensioners as well as peculiar major issues of Postal
Pensioners before the Central Government. The Charter of Demands and the
Programme of Action finalized by the Central Working Committee is as follows:
Postal Pensioners Sectional Charter
AIPRPA shall
undertake an All India Programme of Action to highlight the basic common issues
of Pensioners and important sectional issues of Postal Pensioners viz.,
(a) Grant
of Universal pension of minimum
3000/- to all Senior Citizens of India irrespective of the fact that they had
worked in private sector or unorganized sectors as being demanded by the
Central TUs.
(b) Scrap NPS to all CG Employees recruited
from 1.1.2004 and bring them all under Defined Pension Scheme.

of Full Parity in Pension between
the past, present and future pensioners akin to OROP granted to Pensioners of

(d) Accept
the recommendation of Option Number 1
given by the 7th CPC for pension Refixation by notionally adding the
number of increments earned by the pensioner in the pre-revised scale of pay
from which he/she had retired as the same is feasible by records either
directly or by reconstruction.
(e) Correct
the recommendation by changing the “nearest
level” to “next level” in fixing the stages after each annual increment in the
Pay Matrix for the employees (like 6th CPC formula) and Link the pension re-fixation under Option
Number 2 with the Matrix to the next level on par with the employees.
(f) Grant
of Refixation of Pension on the basis of the scale of pay of the cadre / post from which the Pre-2016
Pensioners had retired instead of only on the basis of the replacement scales
to end the injustice being done to the retirees belonging to the cadres of
Postman, IPOs, ASPOs etc in the Department of Posts.
(g) Ending
the injustice perpetrated to HSG-1
Pre-2006 Pensioners by granting the benefit of 4600 GP as granted to
serving employees from 1.1.2006 by accepting that the scale is only a
replacement scale in the backdrop of feeder cadre is allotted the 4200 GP scale
by 6th CPC.

and also as ordered by the Supreme Court for the grant of pension re-fixation
for all Post-1.1.1996 Pensioners of
Postman cadre with two advance increments.
(i) Grant
of minimum pension by delinking the condition of 33 years of qualifying service
to compulsorily retired employees
also w.e.f 1.1.2006 as envisaged by the original orders of the Department of
Pension & Pensioners Welfare.
(j) Enhance
the Fixed Medical Allowance to
2000/- per month.
(k) Accept
and implement the positive recommendations of 7th CPC without delay
on extension of medical benefits to
all Pensioners including the Postal Pensioners by (1) removing the unjust
condition of Health Ministry to allow all Postal Pensioners into the CGHS
without any discrimination; (2) granting reimbursement facilities of in-patient
treatment to all Pensioners in non-CGHS areas on par with the serving employees
of that area; (3) Merger of existing P&T dispensaries with CGHS without
conditions; (4) Finalization of Medical-insurance schemes covering all non-CGHS
pensioners to get cashless and hassle free medical treatment; and (5) Merger of
different systems like CGHS, Railway and Defence Hospitals to create a
centralized health system for better Medicare to all employees and pensioners.
(l) Revise
the Pension by applying the orders for treating the training period as eligible service to get TBOP/BCR upgradations.
(m) Allot rent-free BSNL / MTNL land-line phone
to all erstwhile P&T Pensioners without any condition on length of service
as ordered by courts.
(n) Allot
vacant Postal Staff Quarters not

instead of keeping the quarters vacant for long time.
Nationwide
Programme of Action

AIPRPA
CHQ will write to the Chairman of the High Level Committee; Health
Minister; and Finance Minister focusing the Charter of Demands immediately.
(ii)
Demonstrations
shall be held at all places by
the AIPRPA on 19th September, 2016 and Memorandum will be forwarded to Health and Finance Ministers. (Draft Memorandum will be circulated to
all through CHQ website)

Mass
Dharna by Postal & RMS Pensioners on 21st October, 2016 to

‘Chalo
Delhi’ by Postal & RMS Pensioners to conduct a ‘Mass Demonstration’ in
front of Parliament on 21st February (Date will be subject to
finalisation in consultation with NCCPA to synchronize with the National
Convention against NPS proposed by NCCPA) and to submit the Memorandum to the Prime
Minster of India.
We call upon our rank & file Districts and
Divisions to take the call seriously and start hectic preparations for all the
Programmes including “Chalo Delhi” Parliament Dharna! Without our active
protest like the Pensioners of Armed Forces who got their OROP through
struggles, no advancement can be expected from the Government.
