Ministry of Defence has replied to BPMS regarding  Extension of facility  of Salary   Accounts   under  Defence  Salary Package  to  the   Defence   industrial/Non-industrial Civilian employees

Government of India
Ministry  of Defence
D(Civ-1)

Subject   :      Extension    of facility  of Salary   Accounts   under  Defence  Salary Package  to  the   Defence   industrial/Non-industrial        Civilian employees    –  Representation    of Bharatiya   Pratiraksha    Mazdoor Sangh  (BPMS)

BPMS   vide    their   letter    ref.   no. BPMS/MoD/186(8/1    R)  dated  9th   May 2015 (copy enclosed)   addressed to Defence Secretary has informed that the Heads of  Department/  Heads of Offices  of the  Defence  installations  under Army,  Air Force,  Navy,  DDP,  DRDO,  etc have got the salary  account opened in  the nationalized  banks (including SBI)  for direct credit  of salary/allowances payable   to  the  industrial    &  non-industrial   civilian    employees    under  their control.

2.         BPMS     has     pointed     out    that     SBI     provide     some  special privileges/facilities  (copy enclosed)  to such salary  account  holders  who are drawing  Defence  Salary   Package  (DSP).  However,  such  privileges/facilities are not being  given   to the civilian employees  of these  defence  installations. The  Federation  has requested  to take steps so that  industrial/non-industrial civilian employees are also  provided  similar privileges/facilities  while operating their Salary  Account with the public  Sector banks.

3.         In  this context,  it is informed  that the PAO/Accounts  Offices  attached with  various   Ministries/Departments/   Organisations   of  the  Government   of India   have made arrangement  with the nearby banks where the  salary and allowances payable  to the employees  working in the concerned  organisation, is credited each month.    As per practice,  these banks are normally  providing most of the facilities/privileges  to such salary account holders,  as are listed  by the Federation.    From the letter of BPMS, it seems that employees  of some organisations/establishments  are not being  extended  similar  facilities  to the salary  account holders  by the disbursement bankers.

4.        It is requested  that  all the PAO/Accounts  Offices  may  be advised to pursue this issue with their Disbursement banker and persuade them to open the salary of all  the Central Govt. employees of the cone.  Organisation  under the  Central      Govt    Salary     Package    and    extend    to    them    similar privileges/facilities,  as are given under DSP.
