Retirement Ages of Government Employees across the world

In India, the age of retirement for Central government employees is currently 60 years. The retirement age for State government employees vary from State to State. For example, in the State of Kerala, the retirement age for government employees is 55 years while in the State of Punjab and the State of Assam it is 60 years. Indian laws do not prescribe any retirement age for private organisations. Thus, private organisations are free to decide the retirement age for their employees, which usually is 58 to 60 years.

To

All Heads of Circles / All Heads of the Regions / The Addl. DG of APS, C/o 56 APO

The Director, Postal Staff College, Ghaziabad / The Directors, PTCs

The Director of PLI, 7 Koilaghat Street, Kolkata-1 / The Directors/Dy. Directors Accounts (Postal)

The DG, P&T Audit, Delhi / All DDMs (PLI).

Sub: Payment of Incentive to DO (PLI) – Revision there of and the conditions for extension of the tenure of DO (PLI).

Ref: Earlier references on the above subject.

(i) Letter No.25-4/2002-LI dated 22.7.2004, (ii) Letter No.25-4/2002-LI dated 18.03.2005 and (iii) Letter No.25-4/2002-LI dated 14.11.2006.

Reference is invited to PLI Directorate’s letters cited above. The incentive free business for DO (PLI) was last revised under this office letter of even number dated 18.3.2005. The average sum assured of new business in PLI at that time i.e. in 2004-05 was Rs.1.1 lakh. The average sum assured of new business in PLI has now more than doubled to Rs.2.24 lakhs in 2009-10. Accordingly, the incentive free business for DO (PLI) needs to be raised at least in the same proportion. Moreover, during this period, the income of eligible clientele has also gone up considerably on account of revision of pay etc. The matter was, therefore, considered and it has been decided by the competent authority to increase the limit of incentive free business for DO (PLI) from Rs.4 crore to Rs.9 crore.

2. Subsequent to increase in limit of incentive free business as proposed in above para, the revised incentive structure of DO (PLI) would be as under:

Upto Rs.9 Crore of Sum Assured	Nil
Above Rs.9 Crore and upto Rs.11 Crore of Sum Assured	Rs.25/- per Rs. ten thousand of Sum Assured
Above Rs.11 Crore of Sum Assured	Rs.20/- per Rs. ten thousand of Sum Assured

3. Further, under Directorate letter of even number dated 22.07.2004, a DO (PLI) was required to procure a minimum business every year to make him eligible to work as DO (PLI) in the next year. To procure business, DO (PLI) need to familiarize himself/herself with business procurement techniques and also with the eligible clientele. DO (PLI) should, therefore, be appointed for a minimum tenure. It has, therefore, been decided that a DO (PLI) will initially be appointed for a tenure of three years. DO (PLI) would be eligible for extension of tenure in subsequent years as follows:

(a) To get extension for 4^th and 5^th year, the DO (PLI) should have procured

average business of Rs.10 crores in first two years.

(b) To get extension for 6^th and 7^th year, the DO (PLI) should have procured

average business of Rs.12 crores in the 3^rd and 4^th year.

(c) To get extension for 8^th and 9^th year, the DO (PLI) should have procured

average business of Rs.14 crores in 5^th and 6^th year.

(d) To get extension for the 10^th year, the DO (PLI) should have procured

average business of Rs.16 crores in 7^th and 8^th year.

(e) For extension beyond 10 years, the DO (PLI) should procure

minimum business of Rs.20 crores in each year.

4. However, continuation of DO (PLI) in any year as stated in para 3 above, is subject to the condition that the DO (PLI) should have procured business of not less than Rs.9 crores in the previous financial year. For example, a DO (PLI) may get an extension for 6^th and 7^th year as he procured average business of Rs.12 crores in the 3^rd and 4^th year. However, if at the end of the 5^th year if the DO (PLI) has procured a business of less than Rs.9 crores in the 5^th year, the DO (PLI) would be terminated immediately thereafter notwithstanding the fact that he was earlier given an extension of tenure for the 6^th& 7^th year. Circles should, therefore, evaluate the performance of the DO (PLI) within two months of the close of the previous financial year and in case, it is found that the DO (PLI) has procured a business of less than Rs. 9 crores in the previous financial year, he should be terminated immediately thereafter.

5. DO (PLI) procuring business exceeding Rs.25 Crores in a year would be designated as Sr. DO (PLI) and would be provided additional facility by way of infrastructure support and training in specialized Marketing and Insurance Institutes.

6. These orders would be applicable from current financial year 2011-12.

7. This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

India Post to lose its monopoly; Govt. forces courier cost to charge double rates

NEW DELHI: A planned overhaul of a 113-year-old postal law proposes to end government monopoly completely in the next decade and a half, but, ironically, sets the clock back for courier companies, which are governed by a different policy at present. The draft Post Office Bill 2011 aims to open the letter mail segment to the private sector in 15 years by withdrawing all exclusive rights to India Post and removing all pricing curbs on private courier companies. The Department of Posts has sent the draft bill for cabinet approval to replace the archaic Indian Post Office Act 1898. The amendment will also provide greater legitimacy to the courier industry.

"Considering the role of couriers in the present economy, opening up the letter mail sector to them will not only accord legitimacy to the private operators but also would be recognition of market reality ," said an official in the department privy to the cabinet note. Courier companies are not celebrating , though. They say the transition regime proposed is too harsh and could end up killing the over Rs 7,000-crore domestic industry that engages nearly one million workers and pays Rs 1,200 crore in service tax.

In the run-up to the complete deregulation , the draft bill has proposed to open the express mail segment (EMS) with a "reserve area" of 50 gm for all articles at a price multiple of twice the government EMS rate. That is, a courier firm will have to charge at least Rs 50 for a package weighing up to 50 g, which is twice the Rs 25 charged by India Post for its Speed Post service for a similar package. At present, couriers are allowed in the EMS segment without any restriction or price, making the market fiercely competitive. The reserve area regulation will give India Post time to prepare for a more competitive regime.

"The proposal to have a reserve area for EMS is unfair and will lead to anti-competitive behavior by the postal department," said Vijay Kumar, chief operating officer, Express Industry Council of India . It could lead to the extinction of the courier industry, he said. Introduced in 1986, Speed Post is the only EMS service provided by India Post. The department has strongly defended the proposal to impose a reserve area by citing international examples. Globally, postal deregulation has been in phases and exclusive rights for state-run postal business still exist in many countries. In India, the courier industry has run ahead of the postal laws because it was allowed under the foreign direct investment regime, which allows 100% overseas investment in the business. International courier companies, such as DHL , TNT, FedEx and UPS , secured FIPB approval under the 100% FDI route.

The bill will now recognize them under the postal law, but the proposed transition turns the clock back somewhat by imposing restrictions that did not exist earlier. "Over 60% of the business for small- and medium-sized courier business in India is dependent on document delivery, which is typically within the 50 gm weight segment ," said RK Saboo, deputy managing director, First Fight Couriers. The proposal was retrogade and would force small courier firms to close down, he said.

The private industry is also not enthused by the entry in the normal mail business, or letter mail segment , where the draft bill has fixed a reserve area of Rs 150 gm for all registered couriers at a price multiple of Rs 2 times the postage of letter mail. The industry says India Post service is highly subsidized , which industry says will make it difficult for it to compete. The bill, which is likely to be introduced in the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament, has also proposed to simplify registration and licensing of couriers without charging any fees. Most large domestic courier companies in the country like DTDC, First Flight and Skypak are all registered with the Registrar of Companies
