The
Rajya Sabha today passed the bill for amending the Prasar Bharati Act 1990 for
treating all government officers and
employees recruited by All India Radio or Doordarshan as on 5 October 2007 to
be on 'deemed deputation' with effect from April 2000 till the time of their
retirement.
The
Bill for amending Section 11 and some other provisions of the Act was moved by
Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting CM Jatua and passed
unanimously.
Members
also passed three official amendments in the Bill following acceptance of the
action taken on the recommendations made in the Eighteenth Report on
"Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Amendment Bill,
2010" of the Standing Committee on Information Technology.
Subsequently, Rule 37A of the CCS Pension Rules will also be amended through gazette notification. The employees working under deputation will get all facilities at par with Central government employees.

The
Bill had been introduced in September, 20 months after the Group of Ministers
(GoM) on Prasar Bharati had decided in January last year, ending an uncertainty
that had prevailed for a decade. This decision will benefit around 38,000
employees.
