AS ALREADY INTIMATED, THE WHOLE ISSUE WOULD BE DEEPLY ANALYSED BY THE STAFF SIDE AND ALL COMMISSIONS AND OMISSIONS AND NEGATIVE POINTS WOULD BE TAKEN UP WITH THE GOVERNMENT FOR NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS
GDS PAY COMMITTEE & CABINET APPROVAL
It is confirmed that the cabinet has accorded approval of the cabinet note submitted by the department with regard to implementation of GDS committee recommendations.
(i) The Finance Ministry has not conceded any one of the recommendations of the Gopinath committee and treated the Nataraja Murthy Committee as an expert Committee in respect of GDS.
(ii) However, it is reliably learnt that the 'Pay Fixation Formula' suggested by Gopinath Committee for including the 5% TRCA increase granted to GDS in lieu of 50% Merger of DA granted for CG Employees from 01.01.2004 has been approved for pay fixation.

hours
10. Retirement age will continue to be 65 instead of 62 suggested by Nataraja Murti Committee.
Further it is learnt that the Finance Minister has rejected the claim of enhancement of Bonus ceiling to GDS to Rs.3500/- and confirmed that it should be Rs,.2500/- only.
The other Features: -
(i) The Department may process the insurance coverage for medical treatment to GDS with the maximum coverage of Rs.30000/- per year.
(ii) No pension scheme was formulated in this approval.
(iii) Now 40% arrears alone will be paid as first instalment out of the total arrears for 45 months. The balance will be paid in the next financial year.
(iv) The Department may cause orders to implement the revised norms recommended by the GDS committee in cash handling (i.e) 1 point for Rs.20000/- which will certainly affect the interest of BPMS. Gopinath Committee's recommendations were not considered on this issue.
(v) The orders on the above are expected in the next week probably after 13.10.09.

These are bitter results.
All federations are failed to explain better wages in front of the committies as well as Ministry of Communication and Finance Minister.
I hope even 1 GDS employee is not satisfied with this committee results.
We still hope for better results.
Dear Comrade Ajay - greetings - i can understand your feelings but the point you have missed is that no one can convince any Officer headed GDS Committee because all Officers of Department are biased and no one can recommend as like Justice Talwar - The point is that the acceptance of an Office headed by Committee by all unions and federations other than NFPE [NFPE was the only organisation that did not recognise Nataraja Murti Committee till last and submitted memorandum only after all others have submitted and appeared for oral evidence] was the reason for the type of recommendations - Certain things are not understood correctly by others when the NFPE says its opinion and when things go wrong people start blaming the Federation - Please read our past journals and write ups to understand the point clearly - Any way what happened is happened and no one can change the happened things but can concentrate with wisdom of what we have to do now at least - we think that a collective effort of all together can make certain changes even now and that what we want to emphasis in the next JCA Meeting on 28th October - The issues like proper prorata fixation of wages to GDS; the issue of Social Security; the issue of fixing BPM work standards properly etc can be still changed and won - Let us concentrate in that direction - Regards
Dear KR! Your explanation to Com.Ajay is not only to him but to the whole GDS,which is narrative calls review to the past happenings and appeals for a right direction to the future.Let us keep unity and tempo for overcoming the leftout aspects.
With sincere regards

vv bad committe gds emplyes v v poor so kindely reqested to improing pay please sar meeki satha koti namasakaralu so muchili u requsted to the kindely
This is really a bad news. What was the suggestion and recomendation of GDS Comittee, from those 50% is not accepted by the Finance Minister.
These ministers are treating like a labour to those poor GDS. I think all the benefits should be provided to those GDS Persons also. As they are really doing the hard work. The Ministers are unknown from the hard work, GDS emplyees really do.
