Sub: Proposal for allowing bunching benefit to Inspector of Posts Cadre wef 01.01.2006.

Many references in this regard were received from Circles and Service Association. The matter was referred to Ministry of Finance.

2. I am directed to inform you that Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide their ID) No 03-31/2019-E III (A) dated 17.06.2020 has clarified that “It is stated that this Department’s OM dtd 28.09.7019 ensures the minimum entry pay of those existing government servants Whose revised pay as on 01.01.2006 fixed under Rule 7 of CCS (RP) rules 2008 turns out to be lower than the prescribed entry pay for direct recruits of that post. In other words, the revised pay of inspector of posts cadre as on 01.01.2006 will be fixed under rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules 2008 i.e. by multiplying the basic pay as on 31.12.2005 in pre-revised scale Rs 5500-9000 with factor 1.86(rounded off to next Rs 10) and thereafter to add the upgraded Grade Pay Rs 4600 and if the resultant figure (i.e. revised pay on Pay band + Grade Pay) is less than the entry pay of inspector of Posts of GP Rs 4600 i.e. Rs 17140, then Inspector of Posts , may be granted the minimum entry pay of Rs 17140 w.e.f 01.01.2006. The bunching benefit on Entry Pay of Rs 17140 as proposed by D/o Posts, is not in order and hence not agreed to.”

The ESI Corporation during its 182nd meeting held late yesterday under the Chairmanship of Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Minister of State for Labour and Employment (I/C) has taken some very important decisions towards improvement in its service delivery mechanism and providing relief to workers affected by Covid-19 pandemic. Following important decisions were taken during the meeting:

ESIC is implementing the Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyna Yojna under which unemployment benefit is paid to the workers covered under ESI Scheme. The ESI Corporation has decided to extend the scheme for one more year upto 30th June 2021. It has been decided to relax the existing conditions and the amount of relief for workers who have lost employment during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The enhanced relief under the relaxed conditions will be payable during the period of 24.03.2020 to 31st December 2020. Thereafter the scheme will be available with original eligibility condition during the period 01.01.2021 to 30.06.2021. Review of these conditions will be done after 31.12.2020 depending upon the need and demand for such relaxed condition.

The eligibility criteria for availing the relief has also been relaxed, as under:
  • The payment of relief has been enhanced to 50% of average of wages from earlier 25% of average wages payable upto maximum 90 days of unemployment.
  • Instead of the relief becoming payable 90 days after unemployment, it shall become due for payment after 30 days.
  • The Insured Person can submit the claim directly to ESIC Branch Office instead of the claim being forwarded by the last employer and the payment shall be made directly in the bank account of IP.
  • The Insured Person should have been insurable employment for a minimum period of 2 years before his/her unemployment and should have contributed for not less than 78 days in the contribution period immediately preceding to unemployment and minimum 78 days in one of the remaining 3 contribution periods in 02 years prior to unemployment.
With a view to strengthen ICU/HDU services in ESIC hospitals amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been decided to establish ICU/HDU services upto 10% of total commissioned beds in all ESIC Hospitals.

The members of ESI Corporation in meeting appreciated the actions taken by ESIC towards mitigating the effect of Covid-19 on its stakeholders besides providing its infrastructure for medical care to general public. So far, 23 ESIC hospitals with around 2600 Isolation Beds and aprox 1350 quarantine beds across India are functioning as COVID-19 Dedicated Hospitals to exclusively provide COVID medical services to the general public of the area. In addition to above, around 961 Covid Isolation Beds are available in most of the remaining ESIC Hospitals across the country, making a total of 3597 Covid Isolation Beds in various ESIC Hospitals. Further, a total of 555 ICU/HDU Beds with 213 Ventilators have also been made available in these Hospitals.
