Police Canteen for IRBn

Our then beloved Commandant, had tried his best to run a canteen similar to military canteen and for that he had taken lots of pain but due to some administrative and operational reason that canteen was failed and we have lost some of our principal amount which we have collected from the member of our organisation. But we have learned lot from that failure.

In this highly inflation era where the cost of groceries has increased many fold the need of a canteen similar to defense canteen will be a real help for everybody. As MHA has started a canteen which is similar to the CSD canteen of defense forces and named it Central Police canteen(CPP) and initial this canteen was only for Central Para military personnel but now they have extended this canteen facility to all the police personnel of India vide order no 27011/75/2011-R&W dated 18 Nov 2011. So we may peruse the case for opening a CPC at Kavaratti and Silvassa and if needed the cooperation of Local police at Silvassa and Kavaratti may also be taken. This my view if you feel similar please give your comments.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA'S ORDERS

   (1) Transit Time /Joining Time to cover journey from / to a remote locality while proceeding on/or returning from leave.— With the promulgation of the Central Civil Services (Joining Time) Rules, 1979, certain provisions of FRs and SRs and Government Orders thereunder relating to transit time / joining time admissible to Government servants to cover journeys from to a remote locality while proceeding on/or returning from leave or on transfer became inoperative. As regards joining time to remote localities on transfer, no difficulty was anticipated because Heads of Departments could allow joining time under Rule 5 (5) of the CCS (Joining Time) Rules, 1979. As regards joining time to remote localities during leave, it was proposed to make suitable provisions in the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules. Pending amendment to the Leave Rules, some administrative instructions were issued vide this Department’s Office Memorandum No. 21011/12/79-Allowances, dated the 16th November, 1979 and No. 19011/30/81-Allowances, dated the 13th October, 1981 (not printed). Since revision of the Leave Rules has not been finalized, the following administrative instructions are issued in supersession of those Office Memorandums to cover cases of journey to/from remote localities while on leave:-

   (i) A Government servant proceeding on leave from/to a place in the remote locality mentioned in Column 1 of the Annexure to this OM or returning from leave to/from the said place shall be entitled, once in a calendar year, to transit time each way to cover the period spent in journey between the said remote locality and the specified station at the scale prescribed in Column 3 of
that Annexure.

   (ii) The concession is also admissible, while on leave, to a Government servant

   (a) who is domiciled in any part of India other than the remote locality concerned and has been specifically recruited from outside for service in remote locality, and

   (b) who, though not specially recruited outside the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands or the Union Territory of the Lakshadweep, as the case may be, for service in the respective Union Territory, is domiciled in any part of India other than the Union Territory concerned.

   (iii) A Government servant domiciled in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands or the Union Territory of Lakshadweep and proceeding on leave to his home town in another Island of the Union Territory concerned, shall be entitled, once in a calendar year, to transit time to cover the period spent in journey by sea to the island in which his home town is located and vice versa while returning from leave. The transit time thus admissible shall be the actual number of days taken in the journey by sea subject to a maximum of seven days for each journey.

   (iv) Where the outward journey falls in one calendar year and the return journey falls in the succeeding calendar year, the concession shall be counted against the calendar year in which the leave commences. In calculating transit time, holidays falling before or at the end of it shall be excluded while those falling during transit time shall be included.

   (v) A Government servant domiciled in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar islands or the Union Territory of Lakshadweep and recruited for service in the respective territory, when posted for service on mainland in public interest shall be entitled joining time, once a year, while proceeding to and returning from the Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep on leave.

   (vi) A Government servant, domiciled in any part of India other than Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands or the Union Territory of Lakshadweep and recruited whether within or outside that Union Territory for service there, while proceeding on leave from his post in one island in that Union Territory to his home town on the mainland to join his post in another island in that Union Territory shall be entitled to joining time on the same scale as provided in Para. I (i) above.

   2. When a Central Government servant posted in the remote areas spends his leave Outside the Union Territory, the journey time from the place in the remote area to the Specified Station indicated in the Annexure and vice versa will be treated as free joining time if admissible under this Office Memorandum and in addition, the remaining journey time if any, in excess of 2 days could be allowed as free joining time under the provisions of Finance Ministry O.M. No. 20014/3/83.E IV, dated the 14th December, 1983. (See Appendix- 9)

No.EP.3(1)/2012
FOOD CORPORATION OF INDIA
HEAD QUARTERS, KHADYA SADAN
16-20, BARAKHAMBA LANE

New Delhi, dated 24th August, 2012.

(Circular No.EP-03-2012-21)

Subject:- Posting of husband and wife at the same station.

   Reference is Invited to the clause 3.2 of Circular dated 05.01.2011 pertaining to transfer policy for Category I officers which provides that FCI would be guided by the exiting policy frame work of the Central Government on posting of husband and wife together as far as possible and administratively feasible. Similarly, Clause (11) of Section II of Circular dated 21.11.2002 and Clause 1(a) of Section-II of Circular dated 30.03.2012 pertaining to transfer policy for Category II, III and IV contains the provisions for posting both husband and wife at one station as far as possible to enable them to lead normal family life subject to administrative convenience and other terms and conditions.

   2. The Government of India had been following similar policy in the matter of posting of husband and wife at the same station in view of the utmost importance attached to the enhancement of women’s status in all walks of life and to enable them to lead a normal family life and also to ensure the education and welfare of the children.

   3. In the context of the need to make concerted efforts to increase representation of women in Central Government jobs, the Government of India has reviewed these guidelines to see whether the Instructions could be made mandatory. DoP&T has accordingly issued O.M. No. F.No.28034/9/2009-Estt.(A) dated 30th September, 2009 to convey the decision that when both spouses are in same Central Service or working in same Department and if posts are available, they may mandatorily be posted at the same station. The said O.M. contains consolidated guidelines applicable in different situations.

   4. The Staff bodies have been pressing hard for adopting the aforesaid guidelines of Govt. of India and to issue appropriate guidelines for FCI employees accordingly.

   5. The matter has been examined in the light of existing policy of the Corporation and observed that as far as posting of husband and wife at same station is concerned, like Govt. of India FCI also attaches great importance to the welfare of women & children and normal family life of its employees. The Competent Authority has accordingly decided to adopt the guidelines as contained in DoP&T’s O.M. dated 30th September, 2009 in the following situations applicable
in case of FCI:

   i. Where the spouses are employed in FCI and belong to same unit of seniority, the Competent Authority may post them at the same station.

   ii. Where one spouse belongs to an All India Service and the other spouse belongs to FCI, the spouse employed under FCI may apply to the competent authority and said authority may post the employee to the station, or if there is no post under FCI in that station, to the State where the other spouse is posted.

   iii. Where one spouse belongs to a Central Service and the other spouse belongs to FCI, the spouse employed under the FCI may apply to the competent authority and the said authority may post the employee to the station or if there is no post under FCI in that station, to the station nearest to the station where the other spouse is posted. If, however, the request cannot be granted because FCI has no post in the said station, then the spouse belonging to the Central Service may apply to the appropriate cadre controlling authority and the said authority may post the said employee to the station or if there is no post in that station, to the station nearest to the station where the spouse employed under FCI is posted.

   iv. Where one spouse is employed in FCI and the other spouse is employed under the State Govt. or Central/State PSU, the spouse employed under FCI may apply to competent authority which may post the said officer to the station or if there is no post in that station to the State where the other spouse is posted.

   6. Where transfer of Cat II, III and IV employees under any of the aforesaid situations involves Inter-Zonal permanent transfer, the same would be further subject to the provisions of Circular No.EP-03-2012-04 dated 30.3.2012, as amended from time to time.

   7. The Competent Authority should strive to post the employee at the station of the spouse and in case of inability to do so, specific reasons, therefore, may be communicated to the employee. The complaints against non-adherence to the instructions are to be decided by the authorities at least one level above the authorities which took the original decision when they are below the level of Chairman & Managing Director and all such representations shall be considered and disposed of in time bound manner.

(iv) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the nearest rupee

(v) The clarificatory orders issued vide this Ministry’s OM No.F.14 (10)—E.Coord/88 dated 4.10.1988, as amended from time to time, would hold good.
