Sir,

Sub: Reminder to Request for clarifications and amendments to the OM dated 03.03.2023 of the DoP&PW- reg

Ref: Letter of NCCPA Dated 31-03-2024 sent by email.

The NCCPA draws your kind attention to the letter sent to you by email dated 31.03.2024 on the subject of “Request for clarifications and amendments to the OM dated 03.03.2023 of the DoP&PW- reg” and urges your good self to expedite favourable action.

The Letter brought the point that the DOPT OM in the Postal Department not applied to the MTS Staff selected by seniority by convening DPCs after 1.1.2024 and the problem of remitting the NPS money received at the time of their retirement in one lump-sum now to get the benefit of OPS. We also raised the point that the commutation should not be rejected on the plea of belated claim in that letter. NCCPA requests for early action on the three points.

The NPS retirees eligible to opt OPS are feeling the difficulties in remitting the money in one lump sum. The OM dated 03.03.2024 of DOPT speaks about the money received at the time of retirement by the NPS retirees to be returned in order to opt for the OPS. The money received by the NPS retirees was spent on several issues on their retirement and now suddenly asking the retired officials to remit back that quantum is unjustified. From where they will be able to remit the spent money? Therefore, the NCCPA requested for adjustment of that quantum of money from the retirement benefits to accrue by embracing OPS. This is like a thing given in paper but actually not given to the NPS retirees. The difficulty was explained in Point No.2 of our letter dated 31.03.2024.

Kindly expedite the favour by your kind intervention.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
