Dear Comrades,
The National Secretariat meeting of the ITPF was scheduled to be
held at Delhi on 4th September, 2016. The said decision was taken in our last
meeting. It appeared that many of the members had forgotten of this decision
and it was surprising for them when communication in the form of SMS was sent
by the undersigned a few days prior to 4th. Since many of them had not booked their
ticket well in advance, it was not possible for them to reach Delhi at such
short notice. However, the meeting had
to be held as a few of our comrades had already reached and the issues slated for discussion was not possible to be
deferred indefinitely. Thus only the following comrades attended the meeting.
Com. Lajpat Rai, Patron, Com. K.K.N. Kutty,
Secretary General, Com. Baswanand, Addl. Secretary, Com. C.M. Badola, Finance
Secretary, Com. R.N Mohanty, Com. Shekawat and Com. Sheoji Misra .
The meeting was presided over by Com. Lajpat Rai. At the outset it was decided that the
suggestions/views emanating from the
meetings must be communicated to other members and their opinion on those
issues might be elicited.
Com. Secretary General informed the house that aginst the requisite
number of six registered Associations, the Federation has been able to ensure
that five of them got registered. Viz.
Delhi, Karnataka, Meerut, Allahabad and Orissa. He informed the house the steps were being taken by the North Eastern Region, Lucknow
and Vidharbha. He was hopeful
that the three organisations would be able to complete the formalities and get
the registration within a short time.
He also said that during the intervening period, the Incometax
Pensioners Association has been formed at Vidharba and they had sought
affiliation with the ITPF. The meeting
noted that the Secretary General must take immediate steps to get in touch with
the leaders of the organisation at Madhya Pradesh, NW Region , Bihar and Uttar
Pradesh (Lucknow).
The meeting noted that as per the provisions of the Constitution,
the Central Working Committee of ITPF must meet once in a year. The said meeting has become overdue. The Secretary General was asked to take steps
to convene the CWC meeting. On the basis
of the presentation made by the Secretary General, it was ultimately decided
that by December, 2016, the CWC meeting must be held and the affiliates should be
contacted to host the meeting.
Com. Lajpat Rai informed the house that he had been receiving
suggestions from certain small affiliates that the annual subscription is a
little on high side and the smaller units were not in a position to make the
payment. The house discussed the issue in detail. Many felt that the difficulties were the
teething problems and would vanish once the organisations enrol more
members. After some discussion, it was
decided to put the proposal of introducing one more slab in the clause dealing
with subscription whereby the units which has less than 100 members might pay
Rs. 500 as annual subscription with a condition that the same would be reviewed
after some time.
The meeting then discussed the Pension Department’s stand on Option
No.1. recommended by the 7th CPC in pension fixation.
Despite the fact that the implementation of the recommendation might
create certain anomalies, the NCCPA must
be asked to stick to the demand. In
order to bolster the argument of the need to accept the pay commission’s
recommendations, it was decided that the following information might be
collected from the member units:
1.
The No. of pensioners who had
retired from active service prior to 1.1.1986.
2.
The extent up to which the
Service books are available with the Department . The information may be collected from the
office of the Principal Chief Commissioners who are cadre controlling
authority. If the service books of
pensioners who retired prior to 1.1.1986 are available, it would be a great
help in dealing with the issue with the Department of Pension.
3.
Whether any subsidiary
documents, viz. pay bill copies, copies of
orders of promotion etc. would be available with the Department or the
ZAO concerned and if so upto which year such documents would be possible to be
traced.
4.
What other documents would be
available either with the Department or with the ZAO to verify the claim of the
individual pensioners of his last promotion in service.
The meeting also decided that a small sub-committee
must be set up as many Sectt. members are not able to attend the meetings
regularly for various reasons. The sub-committee
so set up must meet at least once in a month and review the progress of
implementation of various decisions taken by the Sectt. It was also decided that the members who are
stationed at Delhi or nearby areas might constitute the Committee. Accordingly, the following members have been
inducted into the sub- committee.
1.
Com. Lajpat Rai, 2.Com. K.K.N. Kutty, 3.Com. Baswanad, 4.Com. C.M. Badola, 5. Com. S.K. Sharma, 6. Com.Sheoji
Misra, 7. Com.Vijay Singh Negi and Com. Shekawat.
Com. Kutty informed the house that the NCCPA
has been publishing a news bulletin every month, which has been registered with
the Government and has obtained the postal concession . The house decided that efforts must be taken
by the State Secretaries to get annual subscription for the journal which
contains apart from the various orders issued by the Government but also the
minute of the discussions and various other useful information.
The Secretariat members are requested to
convey their views by 10th October, 2017 including the information
called for so that a final decision could be taken on all matters.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
sd.
K.K.N.Kutty.
Secretary General.
