INDIA HAS 24 LAKH NEW PENSION SYSTEM BENEFICIARIES
The government on Tuesday said the number of beneficiaries under New Pension System (NPS) stood at over 24 lakh, of which about one-third comprised the central government employees.
"The number of beneficiaries under New Pension System as on August 11, 2011, is 24,14,188," Minister of State for Finance NamoNarainMeena said in a written reply to the RajyaSabha.
He said of the total subscribers, over 7.92 lakh were central government employees, while 9,042 were from private sector companies and 45,000 from the unorganised sector.
Besides, there were 41,826 employees from Central autonomous bodies and over 7.84 lakh from state governments.
On July 1, a committee of the pension fund regulator PFRDA had suggested an overhaul of the sector by lowering fund management charges and incentivising distributors to reach out to unorganised sector.
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) had set up the G N Bajpai committee in August 2010 to suggest measures to fast track and popularise retirement scheme for individuals, including those in the informal sector under NPS.
"The report recommends that PFRDA should be financially autonomous, NPS should be made a part of the national financial inclusion agenda and the government should extend the Swavalamban incentive of Rs 1,000 every year for a longer period," Meena added.
At present, seven fund houses -- LIC Pension Fund, SBI Pension Funds, UTI Retirement Solutions, IDFC Pension Fund Management Company, ICICI Prudential Pension Fund Management, Kotak Mahindra Pension Fund and Reliance Capital Pensions Fund -- manage investment corpus of investors.
As on March 31, 2011, the total assets managed by the pension fund managers amounted to Rs. 8,58crore.

‘Sir, post': when the words were music
When did you write your last letter to your loved ones? Can you remember? Oh! Most of you don't know how to write a letter?! Sorry. Go and look up your cupboard for that pretty old letters written by your loved ones. How beautiful it is to read! Rewind you to the past.
Those written on the letter are not just words but spontaneous emotions — feelings as ink and soul as pen, together designed as words. You remember the heartfelt moments forever. It's not like a message displayed on the mobile screen to be deleted. The words make a feathery touch on you when you read them.
How many varieties of letters have been written so far? Letters to the father, mother, brother, sister, friend, husband and wife. How many stories those letters have carried? They contain a welter of emotions — happiness, sadness, love, anger, frustrations and nobility and so on and so forth.
A decade ago, postmen were the heroes of every family. People were waiting for the letter or money order. “Sir, post” — the words made people react enthusiastically. While they read the letter, they felt the nearby presence of the writer. It makes them feel the same whenever they read it. Now, what's the condition of post offices in India? Most of them are ready to call it quits. Mobile phone communication, mailing through internet and the private courier services have contributed to their decline.
More than 40,000 post offices are now in the danger zone. Another information that jolts you is the announcement demanding tax for the savings in the post office. The post office must update its status to compete with the private courier services. In rural areas, even now people trust only the postal service. This is the right time for the government to introduce attractive schemes and facilities to woo back the people. If not, thousands of postal employees and the rural people will be affected.
Rural or urban, parents must encourage children to write letters because most graduates these days do not know how to write an official or formal letter. Hostellers can write letters to their parents or vice versa. Yes, you can talk whenever you want over the phone. But “the words from the heart are more powerful than the words from the mouth, ” as the saying goes.
Letters are meant not just for applications and requisitions; they are a symbol of aesthetic values. Take a paper and try to write a letter by exploring words from your deep heart and send them to your loved ones. See the beautiful response from them, cherish the moment. “Sir, post,” the call of postman will be honey to your ears.

The government has been working on revamping the Indian postal service. Internet connectivity to post offices and turning post offices to full-fledged banks are some of the initiatives being worked on to give the humble post office a radical makeover.
Replying to another question, Pilot said the government has approved the IT modernisation project for the Department of Posts for computerisation of post offices. "This will involve establishment of required IT infrastructure and development of required software applications with an outlay of 1,877.2 crore," Pilot said.
The IT project is expected to be implemented by 2012-13, subject to the availability of funds, he added.
The department has a network of 1.55 lakh post offices in the country, the largest in the world, of which more than 1.39 lakh are in rural areas.

Employees recruited as Postal Assistant in Reserve Trainee Pool Scheme(RTPS) of Postal Department are entitled to be paid the same salary and emolumen
Facts: There are 9 Applicants who are Postal Assistant in the Reserve Trainee Pool of Postal Department earlier, they filled an O.A. which was disposed by the Tribunal with a direction to the Respondents to grant the Applicants benefit of regularization, seniority, pay scale, etc. from the initial date they were appointed as P.A. under the reserve Trainee Pool Scheme. That order was passed on the basis of earlier order of Jabalpur Bench of the Tribunal in O.A. NO.82 of 1986,dated 16-12-1986.That order was challenged in High Court which remitted the case back to Tribunal to give separate reasons for regularization ,seniority and salary from the date of their appointment under the Pool Scheme. In view of the above, the earlier order of the Tribunal was reconsidered in the review. But the Applicants were not present. Respondents were heard.
All the nine applicants were appointed as P.A. under the RTP Scheme in 1980.That scheme was withdrawn in 1986. But before that some RTP persons approached the Jabalpur Bench of the Tribunal by the filing T.A. No. 82 of 1986 for the relief which as allowed. That TA was disposed of by Jabalpur Bench. The important point to be noted in the order at para.13 concisely are; (i) To review the policy to stop recruitment/ absorption of person against regular Postal Assistant(ii) None are inducted as P.A. from other wing of Postal Department till the petitioners therein are absorbed against regular posts(iii) No fresh appointment of RTP are made till the policy of recruitment is reserved (iv) The cases of the applicants are considered for absorption on the basis of Circular, dated 30.10.1980 by forming a Screening Committee. Further it was held to keep parity of the RTPs with Postal Assistant in regular posts in regards to salary, etc. The Provision of Circular, dated 30.10.1980 in so far it relates to payment of hourly rates of wages to employees in RTP is discriminatory and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the constitution. RTP are to be paid the same salary and allowances as was given to Postal Assistants. This order is subject to regular absorption of those RTPs.
The above orders when challenged it was dismissed by Supreme Court also.
The main oreder in T.A. NO.82 of 1986 filed in Jabalpur Bench is the direction of the respondents to treat the Applicants(RTPs) as regular Postal Assistant form the date of their appointment as RTP with all consequential benefits of seniority, pay fixation. They are allowed monetary benefits from the date of filing this O.A.
The Tribunal reconsidered their earlier orders. The Jabalpur Bench in T.A. No.82 of 1986 granted salary and emoluments to be paid to RTPs same as regular P.A. from the date of their appointment. But the Bombay Bench in respect of 9 Applicants herein to treat them as P.A. from the date of their appointment under RTP Scheme with all consequential benefits including seniority and pay fixation. To this extent there is a contradiction in the order of the Bombay Bench.
The Appointment of RTPs herein appointed long back is not disputed. Evidently all the Applicants herein were granted all the consequential benefits from the date of absorption, admitting that the Applicants herein are placed similar to Applicants in O.A. No.82 of 1986.With the above details, the reconsideration of these case as ordered by the High Court of Bombay in its Order, dated 11-06-2010, these OAs are allowed by directing the Respondents to extend the present nine Applicants same relief as granted to the Applicant in T.A. No.82 of 1986 decided by Jaballpur Bench on 16-12-1986 and upheld by Supreme Court by Order, dated 11-05-1988 by dismissing the SLP No. 11313 of 1987 preferred by Union of India against the order of Jabalpur Bench of Tribunal.
Thus all nine OAs are partly allowed in the terms of the above direction.
