Dear Comrades,
                  
As already mentioned in the last month’s “General Secretary’s Desk” a Special Convention and Workshop of all Circle Secretaries and Divisional/Branch Secretaries of AIPEU Group-C will be held on 2014 May 26th & 27th (Monday, Tuesday) at Shah Auditorium, New Delhi, exclusively to discuss the P-3 specific issues and for preperation of the draft memorandum of AIPEU Group-C (CHQ) to be submitted to the 7th Central Pay Commission.  The draft memorandum prepared in the workshop will be placed in the website and also before the Central Working Committee of AIPEU Group-C (CHQ) to be held in August 2014 in Andhra Pradesh Circle, for final approval.

All Circle/Divisional Secretaries of AIPEU Group-C are requested to attend the convention and Workshop without fail.  If any Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretary cannot attend due to unavoidable circumstances, one representative should be deputed on behalf of Divisional / Branch/ Circle Union.  Limited number of special visitors will also be allowed to attend.  Please book your tickets well in advance.  Please convene your Divisional/Branch/Circle Working Committees/Circle Councils before coming to Delhi and discuss and finalise all P-3 specific points to be included in the 7th CPC Memorandum in a most democratic and transparent manner.  Suggestions should be the outcome of collective discussion and collective wisdom. Active involvement of rank and file members may also be ensured in the process.

Delegate Fee:

As CHQ is holding the Special Convention and Workshop at New Delhi itself it is decided to fix delegate fee of Rs.700/- (Rs. Seven hundred only) per head.  Food (only lunch and Tea) and accommodation (hall with floor beddings and bath room facilities) will be provided by CHQ.  Delegate fee is reduced from Rs.1,000/- to Rs.700/- as the Breakfast and Dinner is not arranged by CHQ.  Convention will be from 11 AM to 7 PM on both days.  The rent of the AC Auditorium for two days itself comes to Rs. One Lakh Twenty Thousand (Rs.1,20,000).  AC is required as May is the hottest season in Delhi.  Draft memorandum prepared by CHQ will be supplied in the convention/workshop along with file.

Total Expenditure may come to Rs. 4,50,000/- (Rs. Four Lakh Fifty Thousand only) NO DELEGATE WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVENTION/WORKSHOP WITHOUT PAYING DELEGATE FEE. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY IMPLEMENTED.

Important

All CHQ Office Bearers and Circle Secretaries who are attending the 4th April 2014 Nagpur Confederation National Convention and also the 26th & 27th May, 2014 Delhi Convention and Workshop on 7th CPC P-3 specific Memorandum are requested to bear their TA/DA from their respective Circle Unions.  As the CWC is to be held in the month of August 2014 in Andhra Pradesh Circle and again in November 2014 at Jamnagar (Gujarat) in connection with the final ceremony of NFPE Diamond Jubilee Celebrations,  we have to pay the TA/DA to all office bearers and Circle Secretaries (CWC members) attending the CWC.  Paying TA/DA for Nagpur and Delhi conventions also will result in huge expenditure for the CHQ.  All CHQ office bearers and Circle Secretaries are requested to co-operate and bear with the CHQ.

Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries - Your Attention Please:

As we have to devote full two days for discussion and preparation of P-3 memorandum to be submitted to 7th CPC, we will not be getting any time to discuss the pending problems of Circle/Divisional/Branch Unions.  Hence there will not be any discussion on Circle/Divisional/Branch level pending issues in the Special Convention & Workshop.  However the CHQ want to consolidate all pending problems of Circles/Divisions (other than Pay Commission related issues) and the General Secretary will explain the position of each case in the Special Convention/Workshop.

In order to facilitate the CHQ to consolidate and reply the position / action taken in respect of all the important pending issues in the Convention/Workshop, all Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries are requested to fill up the enclosed Proforma-I and send it to the CHQ on or before 30th April, 2014.  Please ensure that the report is sent before the cut-off date without fail, ie. before 30-04-2014.  Please fill up Proforma-II also and send it before 30-4-2014, so that CHQ can provide accommodation only for those delegates who actually want it.  It is presumed that many delegates may hire hotel accommodation at their own cost.

Enrol New Members in the month of April, 2014.

In some circles, in each Division, there are employees who are not yet enrolled as members in any union (Non-members).  Similarly some employees from other unions may be willing to join our Union.  Further many new-recruits who joined the department are yet to be enrolled as members under check-off system (Recovery of subscription from pay-roll).  All the above categories of employees are to be enrolled in the membership of AIPEU Group-C in the month of April.  All Divisional/Branch Secretaries and Circle Secretaries are requested to make a special drive to collect the declaration from all non-members in April, 2014.  Declaration should be submitted in the same proforma submitted at the time of membership verification.  Signature of Director (SR) not required.  No other change.  Modified order of Directorate already cancelled and old order stands.  White paper application not enough.  It should be in the proforma itself.  Please note. 
                                                                                                             
Yours sincerely,

(M. Krishnan,)
General Secretary,
AIPEU Group-C (CHQ)

Extension of CGHS facilities to retired BSNL employees

File No: 4-12(11)12012-PAT
Government of India
Department of Telecommunications
Sanchar Bhawan, 20, Ashoka Road,
New Delhi-110001
Dated: 20-2-2014
To,

The Chairman and Managing Director,
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited,
Bharat Sanchar Bhawan
H.C. Mathur Lane Janpath,
New Delhi-11001

Subject:- Extension of CGHS facilities to retired BSNL employees.

Sir,

Reference is invited to BSNL’s letter Nos.BSNL/Admn-I/14-15/9(pt.) dated 09.04.2012 and dated 11.1.2013 regarding extension of CGHS facilities to retired BSNL employees. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and it has been decided that :-

i) The retired employees, who are in receipt of Central Civil Pension/Pro-rata pension only from Central Civil Estimates are eligible for joining CGHS, other retired employees of BSNL are not eligible for CGHS.

ii) Since CGHS is in operation only at 25 select locations in the country, the retired employees of BSNL who are in receipt of Central Civil Pension and therefore eligible for CGHS facilities, may also be considered for providing with an option to choose either CGHS or BSNL-MRS post retirement as per their convenience, in recognition of their services rendered to DoT / BSNL.

2. However, it may be noted that the retired BSNL employees who opt for CGHS would have to pay the requisite fee to CGHS as applicable to Government retirees.

3. This issues with the approval of Secretary (T).

Yours faithfully
sd/-

CGHS – Cashless Medical Treatment to continue – Health Ministry’s Clarification

Government of India
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
07-March-2014 17:55 IST
Press Note
There have been reports in the Media that private hospitals on the panel of CGHS are denying credit facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries for delay in settlement of hospitals bills. Lower package rates and inadmissible deductions etc. have also been reported to be the other reasons for withdrawal of agreed cashless /credit facilities.

In this regard, the CGHS beneficiaries are advised not to be guided by such misleading information. Delay in payments in the last quarter of the financial year due to budgetary constraints is not a new phenomenon and the hospitals are aware of it. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has taken special steps and the pendency is likely to be cleared within a week.

CGHS has already invited bids for revision of package rates through a transparent tender process. The last date for submission of bids is 10th March, 2014. Measures have also been taken to streamline the payment related issues in the ensuing empanelment process.


The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will ensure that the CGHS empanelled private hospitals continue to extend cashless /credit facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries in compliance with the terms and conditions as laid down in the Memorandum of Agreement signed by them with CGHS. As per the information received by the Ministry, most of the private hospitals are continuing to extend the cashless facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries.
