Accordingly, all circles are requested to initiate the process for release of final instalment of Ex-Gratia in ERP / SAP as per the existing guidelines.

Subject: Immediate settlement of pending issues in respect of retired employees under BSNL VRS-2019.

Sir,
I am directed to refer to this office letter of Even no. dated 06.08.2020 on the above cited subject and to say that the updation of service particular e.g. Last pay drawn, qualifying service etc in the ERP / SAP as per the details in PPOs generated by CCAs have not been carried out in respect of large number of retirees under BSNL VRS-2019. The task was required to be completed by 14.08.2020. Non-updation in ERP/ SAP is delaying the finalizing of the Ex-gratia amount, Leave encashment and calculation of arrears / over-payment. This activity has to be completed on top priority before the amount of 4th instalment of Ex-gratia amount is received from DOT so that total Ex-Gratia is calculated accurately before the payment of 4th installment of Ex-Gratia and there is no mismatch in the PPO data and ERP data.

Also check: BSNL – Basic Pay plus Dearness Allowance drawn by the employees on the effective date of voluntary retirement

2. Further, the ERP HCM team has reported that in respect of around 640 retirees (circlewise summary enclosed) under the BSNL VRS-2019 Leave encashment has not been paid. In this regard, it is again requested to release the payment of encashment of EL / HPL immediately as per the extant instructions on the issue.

3. Non completion of activity by 14.8.2020 has been viewed very seriously by DIR(HR). Therefore, CGMT concerned may bestow their personal attention to complete the task latest by 05.09.2020 without fail.

This is issued with the approval of competent authority.

Respected Madam,

Sub: Ex-gratia compensation to the families of Central Government employees who died due to Covid-19 infection in performance of their duties.

Many Central Government employees (especially those of Armed and Paramilitary Forces, Police, Railways, Postal and Medical Services) have died due to Covid-19 infection caught up in performance of the duties and exigencies of their services. Their Families need to be adequately compensated for the severe loss of the caning member of the family while serving the Native in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic.

No amount of compensation will ever be enough lo recompense for the loss of a life especially in case of the employees who are putting their lives in danger to ensure seamless implementation to Government’s policies & schemes particularly during Covid-19 pandemic. The Government should ensure a life of dignity and respect for the dependent family members of the Central Government employees who die due to Conid-19 infection caught in the course of performance of their duties.

In the present scenario of Covid-19 Central Government employees particularly doctors, para medical staffs, Heath workers, Railway Postal employees, police, Armed & Para Military forces, etc are more prone to get infected with Covid-19 in the course of performance of their duties and some of them are meeting with tragic end.

Also check: Quarantine leave provision due to pandemic situation – Re-introduction – NFIR

Thermal scanning is the only screening done for all employees during duty to the work Place, Thermal scanning is done for most of the public visiting Government offices, Railway Stations etc. All corona infected persons particularly asymptomatic persons infected with corona virus cannot be screened out by thermal scanning. There are chances of employees getting infected with corona virus from the coworker and from the public.

Major chances of Government employees getting infected with corona virus in the course of performance of theirs duty are, in many departments Government employees are required to have direct interaction with public, in industrial establishments it is practically not possible to maintain one meter social distance between employees on the work spot, chances of employees getting infected enroute to duty and return from duty in work exigences employees with co-morbidity conditions and above 55 year of age required to attend work. handling of files by many employees, presence of left out wastes, particularly presence of human waste in rail coaches & tracks, handling of variety of materials & parcels across the nation, etc. Justices needs to be done for the loss of life through ex-gratin compensation to the families of Central Government employees who died due to Covid-19 infection caught in the course of performance of their duties.

Some of the Government organizations have already announced compensation for its employees who died due to Covid-19 infection in the course of performance of their duties. Some of them enlisted below:

The Government has approved the proposal for gram of ex-gratia monetary compensation to 1.08 lakh of workers and officers of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) who are working to supply food grains across the country amidst the outbreak of Corona virus pandemic. Under its provisions, during the six month period from March 24, 2020 to 23 September, 2020 if anybody dies due to COVID-19 infection while on duty with FCI, the Regular FCI Labour will get an ex-gratia of Rupees 15 lakh, Contractual Labour will be entitled 10 Rs.10 lakh, Category-1 Officers Rx.35 lakh. Category-2 Rs.30 lakh and Category 3 & 4 workers – Rs.25 lakh. (Press release issued by Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution)

While the PSU bank offers Rs 20 lakh Group Life Insurance covers to its employees, It has added additional Rs 30 Lakh that will go to the dependents of the employee in the event of’ a death.

Gram of ex-gratia compensation to the families of deceased employees infected with Covid-19 in the course of performance of their duties will be doing at least some justice for the supreme sacrifice made by the employees.

It is therefore requested that, Families of Central Government employers who died because of Covid-19 infected in the course of performance of their duties may please be granted ex-gratia compensation of Rs. 50 lakh.
