Drivers notification issued for Mail Motor Service (MMS) – Hyderabad ( AP Circle )


Beware of fraud, fake mobile applications: I-T to taxpayers


After alerting taxpayers about fraudulent emails promising fake refunds and other services, the Income Taxdepartment has now alerted people against fake mobile applications that compromise confidential financial information. 

The department has warned taxpayers that illegal "mobile applications" circulating in the webworld for smartphones, especially Android and BlackBerry phones, "may not be according to the department's data structure" and parameters. 

"Filers (people who file tax returns) using them are doing this at their own risk," the department said in its recent advisory issued to taxpayers. 

The fake mobile applications, according to sources, use the name and purpose of I-T returns to conceal their fraud identity and promise the gullible taxpayer in sharing his or her personal details as done under the legal I-T filings system. 

The I-T department, over the last few years, has constantly alerted taxpayers that the department never asks for detailed personal information of any person through e-mails or any other mode of communication on the Internet. 

"The Income Tax department does not request detailed personal information through e-mail. The I-T department does not send e-mail requesting your PIN numbers, passwords or similar access information for credit cards, banks or other financial accounts," the department had earlier issued the disclaimer. 

"It is important to inform and alert taxpayers in this age of Internet-based communications. With a spurt been seen in possession of smartphones, such fake applications and solicitations should be guarded against by taxpayers," a senior I-T department official said. 

The department's technology engineers are also in coordination with the national agency of computer and cyber security sleuths and anti-hacking agencies to weed out these issues, they said.

-email policy for govt staff likely in two months



NEW DELHI: In order to safeguard critical data, government is likely to come out with an e-mail policy in two months to ensure that all its employees use only official service for communication. 

"We are coming up with an e-mail policy, which regulates uses of e-mail by all the government employees who are accessing government infrastructure (the NIC facility)... the draft has been made ready and we are going for inter ministerial consultation very soon," Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) Secretary J Satyanarayana said here. 

He said the policy will address the security concerns related to communications and data. 

Apart from this, government is also working on an Internet usage policy, which regulates the use of Internet by government officials. 

"... there is also an acceptable Internet usage policy... in the government environment, we need to ensure thatthe Internet is not misused, so to prevent misuse of Internet, we have come up with this complementary policy," he said. 

Asked if the government is looking to ban the use of Gmail and Yahoo by government staff once the policy is put in place, Satyanarayana said these things will be sorted out but the officials will have to communicate through the nic.in platform. 

The government will send a formal notification after the policy is implemented in about two months, covering about 5-6 lakh Central and State government employees to use the email service provided by National Informatics Centre (NIC). 

The development comes close on the heels of concerns being raised by a section in the government, especially intelligence agencies, over use of email services, provided by foreign firms (mostly US-based), which have their servers located in overseas locations, making it difficult to track if sensitive government data is being snooped upon.

Loksabha Passes Pension Bill - Key Points


The Lok Sabha today passed the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill 2011, which will open the doors for foreign investment in pension funds. The bill aims to create a regulator for the pension sector and extend the coverage of pension benefits to more people. The Pension Bill has been hanging fire since 2005 when it was first introduced in the Parliament. It was again reintroduced in 2011.


Features of New Pension Bill




1: The Pension Fund Regulatory andDevelopment Authority Bill 2011 will give statutory powers Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) which was established in August 2003 as a regulator for the pension sector.

2:  The bill allows 26% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the pension sector or such percentage as may be approved for the insurance sector, whichever is higher. At least one of the pension fund managers shall be from the public sector.

3:  The subscriber seeking minimum assured returns shall be allowed to opt for investing their funds in such scheme providing minimum assured returns as may be notified by the authority.

4: Withdrawals will be permitted from the individual pension account subject to the conditions, such as, purpose, frequency and limits, as may be specified by the regulations.

5: This bill would also provide subscribers a wide choice to invest their funds including for assured returns by opting for government bonds etc as well as in other funds depending on their capacity to take risk.

6:   The passage of the bill could see pure pension products coming into the market. At present most of the pure pension products available in the market are linked with insurance coverage.

7: In 2005, the government had earlier introduced a pension bill but it lapsed as the Lok Sabha's term got over before the legislation could be passed.

8: The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill 2011 was reintroduced in the Lok Sabha in 2011 by the then finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and it was subsequently referred to a standing committee.

9: PFRDA's National Pension System (NPS) was made mandatory for all new government recruits, except armed forces, joining after January 1, 2004.

10:   The NPS was later opened up to all Indian citizens from 2009 on a voluntary basis.


11:  The NPS allows its subscribers to invest in stock markets but there is a cap on equity investment. The NPS also offers subscribers the option of selecting the fund managers of their choice.

12:   The pension bill could help channelize funds into building long-term assets for the country, including the infrastructure sector. The government wants to ease rules for insurance and pension sectors to allow them to invest in infrastructure, where it is seeking $1 trillion investment till 2017.

The undersigned is directed to say that the matter regarding granting of recognition to the Associations representing Non-Statutory Departmental Canteens Employees has been under consideration of thisDepartment for quite some time. The question of formation of separate Association of Canteen employees was earlier considered in 2003 and taking into account various factors, it was decided that there may not be separate Association exclusively for Canteen employees and they may be represented through Associations formed by other comparable categories of employees. This decision was circulated vide 0.M No. 27/2/96-Dir.(C) dated 20.2.2003. Subsequently, based on various representations received, and taking into account the fact that Canteen employees are a unique and distinct category of employees of Central Government, their cadre structure, pay and allowances and career prospects are also different from other Group 'C' & 'D' employees of the Secretariat & Attached/Subordinate Office, it was decided to invite applications from Associations/Unions of employees working in the Non-Statutory Departmental Canteens/Tiffin Rooms of Ministries/ Departments/Offices etc of the Central Government who wish to seek recognition under CCS (RSA) Rules 1993. On the basis of application received for recognition and keeping in view the requisite criteria for recognition as stipulated in CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 it has been decided by the competent authority to grant ad-hoc recognition to the following association subject to the condition that ad-hoc recognition would cease after one year if verification through check off system is not completed during the period.

RECOGNITION OF SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF EMPLOYEES OF NON-STATUTORY DEPARTMENTAL CANTEENS / TIFFIN ROOMS OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES UNDER CCS (RSA) RULES 1993



Debate on Pension Bill marred by uproar in LS


Vociferous protests over missing coal files and petrol price hike cast shadow over the debate on the Pension Bill in Lok Sabha today with the government pressing hard for its passage with just two days remaining for the Monsoon Session to conclude.

Even as BJP members stormed the Well demanding the Prime Minister's resignation over missing coal block allocation files, Speaker Meira Kumar took up the consideration of the controversial measure.

Participating in the debate, Shailendra Kumar, whose Samajwadi Party is a key outside supporter, opposed the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill, 2011, which provides for establishment of an authority to promote old age income security by developing pension funds, among other things.

As Kumar opposed the measure saying there was no provision to provide assured returns to the employees, Ministers Kamal Nath and Kapil Sibal approached SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav apparently to seek his party's backing to the bill, which the Left parties staunchly opposed.

The SP member, along with those from Trinamool Congress, DMK and the Left parties, opposed the measure on several counts, especially on putting the "social security moneys" in the volatile stock market and allowing FDI to manage these "hard-earned" funds.

Sougata Roy (TMC) wanted the Chair to ensure that the bill, which would affect lives of millions of people, should not be passed in a hurry and in din over missing coal ministry files and hike in petroleum prices.

Interestingly, Gurudas Dasgupta (CPI) called back the protesting Left members from the Well as Roy was speaking to oppose the bill.
