2511 SHRIMATI GUNDU SUDHARANI Will the Minister of COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY be pleased to state with regard to Demand for regularization as Government servant;- The reply of MOC in the floor of the parliament to a question regarding the regularisation of GDS employees: Gramin Dak Sevaks, about 2,65,000 in number are a distinct category of employees, who do not form part of the regular civil service. They are governed by a separate set of conduct and engagement rules. They are engaged for 3 to 5 hours in a day. Their livelihood is not solely dependent on the allowances paid by the Postal Department. They are mandatorily required to possess independent sources of income for adequate means of livelihood. They are discharged on attaining the age of 65 years and while in employment are required to have residence mandatorily within the post village/delivery jurisdiction of the post office. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Superintendent of Post Offices vs. PK Rajamma (1977)(3) SCC has also held that the Extra Departmental Agents [now called Gramin Dak Sevaks] are holders of the civil post outside the regular civil service. . THEIR LIVELIHOOD IS NOT SOLELY DEPENDENT ON THE ALLOWANCES OF THE POSTAL DEPT :- HOW MISLEADING THE ANSWER IS! NON-FACTUAL INDEED!!
