​Performance Related Incentive for GDS

The system of incentive payment for GDSs was introduced at a time when the job was more in the nature of an agency function rather than a long term service. Small amounts were paid to the Branch Post Masters as incentive, in addition to the monthly allowances in return for the deposits collected in small savings schemes. This system of incentive/commission on the basis of amount collected is still followed in the case of small saving agents who collect deposits under RD, NSC, and KVP etc. along with the BPMs.

12.2. Later on the incentive payment was introduced in many other services due to the following main reasons:

(a) The working hours of GD Sevaks are restricted to maximum 5 hrs during which routine jobs are performed.

(b) The Government implemented new schemes and services In rural areas through the network of GDS Post Offices utilizing GDS manpower.

(c) There are limitations in the present workload calculation system to add norms for such new items of work.

(d) There is a need to compensate the GDS for these special tasks.

12.3. The system of incentive payment to GDS in the Department of Posts is different from the Performance Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS) introduced after 6th CPC. PRIS is operational in Departments of Atomic Energy and Space. PRIS is a variable component of pay and is awarded on the basis of the performance Of individual / group / organization, measured against goals set for a given period of assessment. PRIS is non-additive and non-cumulative. It is based on the principle of differential reward for differential performance. The Scheme has three components-

Organizational, Group and Individual.

12.4. However, in the Department the incentives are paid only to individual. There is no concept of incentive payment for group or organization. The Committee noted that the amount of incentive paid is low and needs to be improved. The existing rates of incentives offered to GDSs by the Department for various activities are given in Table12.1.

12.5. In addition to the above, from time to time, some new tasks/business activities are being got done in some Circles through GDS, as per local initiatives. In such cases the Circles themselves are making arrangements for compensating the GDS for such works.

The same may be translated to local language and printed copies distributed to all participants of the human chain.

Six-month time to probe corruption cases against government employees

NEW DELHI: Changing an over 50-year-old rule, the government has set a deadline of six months to complete probe in corruption cases+ involving its employees.

The decision has been taken to speed up the investigation in such cases, most of them pending for quite a long time.

The department of personnel and training (DoPT) has amended Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, and decided a timeline for critical stages of investigation and inquiry proceedings.

The Inquiring Authority should conclude the inquiry and submit its report within a period of six months, says the amended rules.

However, an extension for a period not exceeding six months at a time may be allowed for any good and sufficient reason to be recorded in writing by the disciplinary authority, it said.

Earlier, there was no such time frame to complete an enquiry.

The disciplinary authority shall deliver to a government servant, accused of irregularity and corruption, a copy of the articles of charge, the statement of the imputations of misconduct or misbehaviour and a list of documents and witnesses by which each article or charges is proposed to be sustained, the new rules said.

On receipt of such articles of charge, the government servant shall be required to submit his written statement of defence, if he so desires, and also state whether he desires to be heard in person, within a period of 15 days, it said.

The time limit can, however, be extended for a period not exceeding fifteen days. But under no circumstances, the extension of time for filing written statement of defence shall exceed forty-five days from the date of receipt of articles of charge, the rules said.

At present, there is no time limit for submission of the employee's statement of defence.

The new rules are applicable to all category of employees excluding those in all-India services--Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFoS)-- and a few other categories of officers.

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), in a directive, had last year expressed serious concern over delay in finalising corruption cases and asked all departments to complete these inquiries within a maximum period of six months to keep away "nothing will change" notion associated with governance.

The directive comes after the commission noted that administrative authorities are not adhering to the time- schedule prescribed for completion of disciplinary proceedings.

"In a recent study conducted by the commission, it has been noticed that while the average time taken by the administrative authorities in finalisation of disciplinary proceedings is more than two years, the maximum time taken in a particular case was eight years and at least in 22 per cent cases the inquiry took more than two years," the CVC had said.

As per the anti-corruption watchdog, the time-limit for completion of departmental inquiries is six months from the date of appointment of inquiry officer.
