RED SALUTE TO COM. FIDEL CASTRO - AIPAEA

"It is difficult to sum up his life in a few words. With Fidel’s passing away, the era of state-led socialism can now be called to have officially ended. But his ideas on internationalism: a truly democratic world order and solidarity among the people of the third world; a thorough reorientation of the state to promote overall human development; – hold true and important today and for the foreseeable future. The Cuban’s muerte (death) will not just be mourned in his patria (fatherland), but the world over. Fidel is no more, but the revolution he unleashed, persists."

AIPAEA NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING NOTIFICATION


Sunday, November 20, 2016

VIEW POINT OF DR. K.C. CHAKRABARTY ON DEMONITISATION

Dr. K.C. Chakrabarty was a Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 2009 to 2014. He has a doctorate in statistics and worked for a quarter of a century in Bank of Baroda before becoming Chairman of the Indian Bank and Punjab National Bank. News18’s Tushar Dhara spoke to Dr. Chakrabarty for his views on demonetisation. Excerpts:
Q. What is your view on demonetisation?
Demonetisation is a very blunt instrument and it has to be used very judiciously and in a very very critical situation. Generally, in a normal situation it doesn’t give any results. The economic benefit is less and the cost is more. It is necessary to have a very effective pre-planning. I am not among those people who are saying it’s a great step, it’ll bring a revolution. I am not a critic of the Prime Minister, but I think he has not been properly briefed on the subject by whosoever was involved in the decision-making process or in planning this, whether in the Finance Ministry or the RBI.
Q. If you were to design a currency demonetisation scheme how would you do it?
If it is to be designed at all… Ask first is it necessary? If we say we are going to tackle the process and the people and that black money is predominantly in the form of cash and with only rich people, then only it has a purpose. Otherwise for tackling black money in the normal way, it will never give the result.
Q. The government’s rationale is to fight corruption and black money…
You are fighting black money, but currency notes are not black money, all currency notes are white money. When it reaches a person who is not paying tax it becomes black money. And if the currency moves from that person to another person who is paying tax it becomes white money. The process and the person are the culprit, but you are destroying the notes. If the process and people are not changed a person can use currency, gold, other assets for black money generation.
Our problem is that the government’s understanding is that [black] money is with the rich, whereas on the contrary more cash money is lying with the poor.
The poor keep their money under the bed, under the pillow. The rich only have transitory money with them. The money will pass from the rich very fast.
Q. Will demonetisation affect the poor more than the rich?
Absolutely. To withdraw his/her own money the poor person has to stand in the queue, then liquidity…90% of the poor’s liquidity is in cash, so they have no cash. All your trade and commerce is likely to be affected. It will definitely have an effect on the economy.
And what benefit is it giving the government? You have neither touched the person nor the process, you have destroyed the notes which are not black.
Q. How will the economy be affected?
The total cost of replacing the notes will be Rs 10,000 or 15,000 crore. That is a direct loss. Then the banks will be doing only this job for the next two months: exchanging the note, managing the cash, managing the crowds. People will be more busy with these things. All this will have an adverse effect on the economy.
Q. What is the effect of demonetisation on informal markets that rely on cash?
There will be a liquidity crunch, volume of transactions will go down, sometimes it may totally collapse, depending on the situation. To be frank, even today these [old] notes are utilised in the informal market. Today, anyone can deposit Rs 5,000 if he’s selling wheat, if he’s selling vegetables, if they say, “I don’t have any other note, I have this note,” you will take it. (The old notes) are not totally banned, you have kept leakages open, it is working in hospitals. If it is banned why should it work in hospitals? Why should it work in airports? Why should it work in paying tax to government? I don’t understand the logic behind this.
Q. How much will GDP decline?
I am not an astrologer and I will not be able to say. It will have an adverse impact on the economy, that much I can say? It all depends on what corrective measures the government takes, what corrective measures people take, how much sacrifice people make.
Q. There are reports of vegetable prices falling because consumer demand has collapsed.
Inflation will come down because people have no money. If you withdraw the money from the people all prices will collapse, but people will not be able to eat vegetables also. Prices are collapsing because medium of exchange is not there.
Q. What will the effect on the fiscal deficit be?
If the economic growth comes down, the government’s tax collection also comes down. We consider that black money does not generate any second or third order benefit to government, but if a person goes with black money and spends it in the malls, restaurants or cinema hall then government gets a part of the tax. It all depends on how much economic activity is affected. If some people get some of this money into the open, maybe government will get back some tax. But that amount is insignificant compared to the loss to the economy and the inconvenience to the public.
Q. How much time will it take the government to replace the withdrawn liquidity?
If your house has collapsed, how much time it takes to reconstruct depends on the person doing the reconstruction. How quickly is he doing the job…
It depends on how quickly the Reserve Bank and government take corrective measures. But it will take a few months to come back to normalcy, as of today. It may take a year for the economy to recover.

Sub:- Review of JAO (P) Part-II examinations held in December 2012 –  Agenda item
           in the Departmental Council (JCM) - Request – Reg.
Ref:-   1. All India Postal Accounts Employees Association letter dated 28-03-2016.
           2. AIPAEA letter dated 29-06-2016 and letter dated 16-09-2016.
           3.PA Wing notificationF.No.3-24/10-PACE/Exam (DE)/2111to2210 Dt.11-09-12.

Respected Sir,

I would like to bring it to your kind attention the anxiety of the SC/ST employees who have appeared the Special Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for promotion to the cadre of AAO for the year 2012 as notified vide the letter under reference number 3 and pinned their hopes on your benign self for favourable settlement of this long pending issue of review of the results of the above said exam.
The following facts may kindly be appreciated and cause orders to undertake the review as a one-time measure by relaxing the provisions to help the SC/ST employees.

1.     The Eligibility criteria to write the above examination are “as per the Recruitment Rules notified in the Official Gazette on 11.01.2002”.
2.     The said examination was held to fill up the “90% of the vacancies in the JAO (now AAO) cadre” then existing.
3.     The Competent authority has ordered to hold the above said examination to all categories of the officials who had qualified in the JAO Part-I (Postal) Examination and are eligible to “appear for the above examination as a onetime measure. “
4.     139 SC and 80 ST posts in JAO cadre were lying vacant on 01-09-2012 and at present there is a huge number of back-log vacancies piled up due to non-holding of examination to fill up these vacancies for years together.
5.     It is learnt that in the recent past the Parliamentary Committee also expressed its unhappiness over the large number of unfilled SC/ST vacancies in AAO cadre.

6.      There is a huge shortage of supervisory staff i.e. AAOs in Postal Accounts and everywhere the work is being carried on by making ad-hoc arrangement to man these posts.
7.     By under taking the review of the results of the above said examination for SC/ST candidates who have already passed the JAO Part-I exam the shortage can be stemmed.
8.     The SC/ST employees who are qualified in JAO Part-I and appeared in the above-notified exam are stagnating for more than two decades in spite of the availability of the large number of SC/ST vacancies and all are inching towards superannuation.

Under above circumstances I earnestly request you to kindly cause action to grant one time relaxation of provisions and review the results of the SC/ST employees who wrote the above said examination, so that the interests of the Department as well as the SC/ST employees will be served.

With Regards,

Yours faithfully,

CHQ DEMANDS REVALUATION OF TYPE-TEST PAPER FOR THE MTS TO LDC PROMOTION

To
Sri. B.V. Sudhakar,

Chairperson, Postal Services Board,
New Delhi.

Sub:- Wrong setting of Type-test paper for the Departmental exam for promotion to
           LDC in  PAOs for MTS qualified in 12th class or equalent  held in the month of
           August 2016 – Reg.
Ref:- This Association letter dated 15-09-2016.

Respected Sir,

This Association vide the letter dated 15-09-16 has brought to the notice of the authorities concerned that a serious lapse has taken place in setting the question paper for Type-test for the above stated exam for promotion to LDCs in PAOs. Unfortunately, no serious action has been taken to address this issue. Now the results of the above said exam wherever declared (PAOs like Hyderabad, Lucknow, Patna ), all the candidates failed only in Type test paper.

The paper was set for 669 words against the stipulated 525 words. This led to confusion, tension and the candidates in order to finish the paper within 15 minutes hurried and committed more mistakes. Because of the wrong setting of paper the careers of the officials are at stake. The hopes of the candidates to get promotion immediately were dashed to ground.

I request you to kindly cause immediate order to review and re-declare the results by taking the excess-set words as permissable mistakes. I also request you to kindly order to promote all those candidates who have passed in all papers except in Type test, wherever vacancies exist as per the DOP (PA Wing) order No. 48-1/87-PACE/686 to 719 dated 24-06-1993, pending review of the Type Test results.

Regards,
Yours faithfully,
