RPLI INCENTIVE TO IPs FOR PROPOSAL VERIFICATION IS PAYABLE


PLI Directorate vide letter No. 26-2/2009-LI dated 16-01-2013 has clarified that provisions of PLI Directorate letter no. 35017/78-LI (Vol III) dated 19.3.96 regarding admissibility of incentive to SDI/ASP for verification/scrutiny of RPLI proposals have not been superseded either the directorate letter no 26-02/2009-LI dated 18.9.2009 or any other subsequent letter.

The above clarification has been issued by PLI Directorate to clear the doubts raised by some circles consequent upon issuance of revised incentive structure for PLI/RPLI sale force. In the above letter it has been clarified that SDI/ASPs shall be paid incentive equal to 10% of the procurement commission paid to the Gramin Dak Sewaks and Gramin Dak BPM’s whose proposals are verified by such SDI/ASP. This will be limited to only the first year premium income commission earned by Gramin Dak Sewaks and Gramin Dak BPM’s on such proposals.

Now path and all hurdle to clear the pending incentive bills of SDI/ASP has been vacated and incentive will be paid for verification of RPLI proposals as was being paid in view of Directorate order no. 35-15/78-LI (Vol III) dated 19.3.96 .

No. GS/AIAIASP/1/2012 dated 11/01/2013
To,
Ms P Gopinath,
Member (Personnel)
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.

Subject : Minutes of the meeting taken by Member (Personnel) regarding restructuring of Inspector Posts cadre.

Ref. : Director (SR) letter No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 6th September, 2012.

Respected Madam,

On the behalf of IPASP Association I feel privileged to wish you a very Happy New Year and hope that the department will achieve new milestones this year under your intuitive vision and dexterous talent. This Association assures you all support and co-operation to achieve this goal.
At the same time Association brings to your kind notice some pending issues concerning our cadre which are enhancing the sense of discontentment due to non settlement of the same. It is being kindly recalled that your predecessor concluded meeting lastly held on 18-10-2011 for looking into promotional prospects of IPs/ASPs calling final view point of the Association to merge IP/ASP cadre.

Since this was a vulnerable issue so Association left the decision for the house to decide. Subsequently, the house decided to request the department to relook in to the issue of merger of Inspector Posts and Assistant Superintendent Posts and call clarification / views on the following points which were sought vide this Associations letters of even number dated 17th July, 2012, 20thSeptember and 1st October, 2012 (copies enclosed).

1. What will be the nomenclature of the merged cadre without Gazetted status.
2. At present, there is separate Appointing / Disciplinary Authority for IP/ASP cadre i.e. DPS is Appointing Authority for IPs and Disciplinary Authority for minor penalties is Divisional Head and for major penalties is CPMG. For ASP cadre, CPMG is Appointing Authority and Disciplinary Authority for minor penalties is DPS whereas for major penalties is CPMG. Hence it may be clarified on merger, who will be Appointing Authority and Disciplinary Authority for the merged cadre.
A copy of Director (SR) letter No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 6th September, 2012 for issuing clarification on the above enunciation is enclosed for reference but unfortunately it went for no result.
It is therefore urged to kindly intervene and get these points clarified so that the Association may feel it convenient to discuss this vital issue in the ensuing periodical meeting.
With warm regards
                                                                                    Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
