To All Head of Circles
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.”

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

upto 10% of total commissioned beds in all ESIC Hospitals.

taken by ESIC towards mitigating the effect of Covid-19 on its

general public. So far, 23 ESIC hospitals with around 2600 Isolation
Beds and aprox 1350 quarantine beds across India are functioning as COVID-19
