Sub : (i) Contribution towards PM CARES FUND
.
(ii)
Delay in issuing orders for grant of additional Dearness Allowance w.e.f.
01.01.2020.
Sir,
With reference to the proposal for
deduction of contribution from salary towards PM CARES FUND, we submit the
following.
Needless to say that the Central Govt
Employees organisations , especially Confederation of Central Govt. Employees
and Workers , in the past , had stood with the Govt of India and people of our
country , during the days of crisis , whether it is war with the neighbouring
countries or natural calamities. We are fully aware that the crisis now created
due to the Covid-19 pandemic is unprecedented and hence the central Government
Employees have to play a major role in overcoming this alarming situation. In fact,
some of our departments like Department of Posts, Department of Health and
Family Welfare are declared as essential services by the Government and
employees are working round the clock in offices and also in the field, inspite
of the fact that many of them are not provided with preventive measures as
instructed by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
We have already given a call to the
employees to donate liberally, not less than one day's salary, towards the PM
CARES Fund. As we are representing the lower rung of employees, mainly non-
gazetted employees; it may not be possible to donate more from their take home
pay. Inspite of this constraint, if the Government is very particular to deduct
more, it may be limited to maximum one more day's salary, thus total two day's
salary. If any employee is willing to contribute more, the same may be deducted
from their salary after obtaining consent letter.
Further
it may be noted that the Government orders for granting additional DA of 4% to
the Central Government Employees and Pensioners w.e.f.01.01.2020 is yet to be
issued , even though Cabinet has approved it in March 2020.
It is reported by some print and
electronic media that Govt is mooting a proposal to impound DA, which has
created uneasiness in the minds of employees and pensioners. It is requested
that action may be taken for issuing of DA orders early.
Concludingly
, it is requested to issue strict instructions to all Departments that whenever
employees are asked to attend duty , in office or in the field , it should be
ensured that all preventive measures as instructed by Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare is provided to each and every employee , without fail. The death
of a Postal employee working in Foreign Post Kolkata due to Covid-19 infection
has caused much anxiety among the employees.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours Sincerely,
(R.N. Parashar)

General
