The Secretary
Department of Posts
Dak Bhawan, New Delhi – 110001

Sub: -Provision of compensation of Rs.10 lakh to GDS Employees due to cover death due to Covid-19 while discharging official duties – Not agreeing to the proposal by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Government of India.

Ref: – Dte. No. 17-20/2020-GDS dated 08.01.2021.

Sir,

This is highly painful to note that the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of finance, Govt. of India has not granted approval to the proposal of Department of Post to pay compensation Rs.10 lakh to GDS Employees and other categories of Department of Post due to death due to Covid-19 while discharging official duty.

In this connection we would like to suggest that the compensation may be paid from Circle Welfare Fund in such cases.

It is therefore requested to kindly request Hon’ble Communication Minister to convene and Chair the meeting of Welfare board in which the same proposal may be accepted and orders may be issued to all Chief PMG to pay compensation in such death cases. Further it is also requested to provide compensatory appointment to one ward of deceased as early as possible.

Hoping for an early and positive action.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

(R. N. Parashar)
Secretary General
