Gramin Dak Sevak Mail Deliverer distribute letters in villages.
(b) Does not arise in view of (a) above.
(c) No, Sir.
(d) Yes Sir. However, there is no comparison in the pay scales
of these two cadres since Central fourth class (now termed as Multi Tasking
Staff – MTS) are regular employees whereas Gramin Dak Sevaks are part-time
sevaks.
(e) The allowances of Gramin Dak Sewaks are revised periodically
as in the case of Central Pay Commission.
