37. GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS (GDS) OF THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT DEMAND FOR CIVIL SERVANTS STATUS REJECTED
Recommendation: – The committee carefully considered the demand for treating the Gramin Dak Sevaks as civil servants at par with other regular employees for all purposes, and noted the following:
(a) GDS are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural areas.
(b) As per the Recruitment Rules the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is class X.
(c) GDS are required to be on duty only for 4 to 5 hours a day under the terms and conditions of their service.
(d) The GDS are remunerated with Time Related continuity Allowance (TRCA) on the pattern of pay scales for regular Government employees plus DA on pro-rata basis.
(e) A GDS must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS to sustain himself and his family.
Government of India has so far held that GDS is outside the Civil Service of the Union and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government Employees. The Supreme Court Judgment also states that GDS are only holder of Civil posts but not civilian employees. The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no recommendation with regard to GDS.

MATHEW T ABRAHAM says
7 CPC recommendation spoiled the charm of Promotion /MACP. Earlier 3% plus Grade Pay difference was available, now only 3%. The loss is huge. For example an LDC in the grade pay 1900 gets promotion in before implementation of 7 CPC having 8100 pay in pay band will get 3% plus 400 as difference in GP. Thus on promotion he moves from basic pay of 10000 to 10700 and on 7 CPC gets a basic above 27499 and that is 27900. If he gets promotion with the same level after implementation of the 7 CPC first he gets his pay fixed at 10000 x 2.57 = 25700 and fixed at 26300 then one 3% i.e. 27089 and fixed at 27100 a clear loss of 800 in basic pay that is more than once increment.
Similarly one UDC in the GP of 2400 and Pay in Pay Band of 11600 gets promotion to Assistant with GP of 4200 now his pay fixed at 14000 + 420 + 1800 GP and basic pay after promotion will be 16220 and in 7 CPC it will be above 41685 and i.e.42300. .If promotion is after 7 CPC his pay first fixed in 14000 x 2.57 = 35980 and placed in 36400 then on promotion he gets 3% i.e. 1092 and placed above 37492 in pay matrix of 4200 and will be 37600 a clear loss of 4700 in basic pay a clear loss of 4.3 increments and it is huge.
Thus 7 CPC robbed off all the CG employees.
Yogendra kumar says
Don’t give us 7th cpc sallary but merge DA in basic.
rupendra koshal says
are bhai kuch bhi to nahi mila is pay cCommission me. there are following discrepancies and observation found
1. minimum basic pay is calculated for a family cconsisting of 3 people only. however, there are four people are permitted in a family, i.e. husband, wife and two children.
2. rates of daal, milk are of stone age. wherever, daal is approx 180 and milk is at 60.
3. on what basis cities are classified as x, y and z type. metro cities has more and many facilities. z class cities are no free or cheap even these are very costlier than metro cities. कोई Z क्लास सिटी वाला तुम्हे तुम्हारे HRA के हिसाब से कमरा किराये पर देता है क्या।
4. same scenerio is for transport allowances. metro cities again have many type of easy and cheap transport. while y and z class cities are not. Kolkata is a metro city and here transport is very cheaper compare to the whole country. even metro cities have cheaper petrol and diesel too. also, how Commission decides and differentiate transport allowance on the basis of grade pay. if a person has grade pay of 1900 he will get 900 and if a person has grade pay of 2800 he will get 2500. while both use same kind of transport.
5. even if this pay Commission is not implemented on 1.1.16 and DA touches @125% then new salary will as per new DA will touch this so called 7 CPC pay. and if the DA is merged then new salary will be higher than the 7CPC new pay structure.
dr ss n sinha says
sir
i believe that 7 pay commission is worst among all commission. they kill the future central as well as government employee.
Rav says
Only one DA not two DAs. We got another DA in advance at the cost of HRA. It is shame.
