1. Filling up the Posts of APM Accounts & Promotional avenue to Accounts line officials.
The APM Accounts Posts in LSG
& HSG.II have been filled up among the PO & RMS Accountant’s
qualified officials as per Selection Grade Recruitment Rules 1976. The
PO & RMS Accountant’s seniority list has been drafdted as per the
date of qualifying the Accountant’s exam and the same is considered for
LSG promotion under Accounts line. The statutory Recruitment Rules of
1976 and the Rules 276 & 277 of volume IV dealing these issues
remain unchanged.
While clarifying the postings
after the introduction of FTP exam vide department letter
No.137/10/96-SPB.II dated 28.1.2003, it was mentioned that the officials
promoted to LSG either on general line or FTP having Accounts
qualifi8cation may be considered for APM Accounts post. This has
created a bundle of contradictions and the separate line of promotion to
LSG APM Accounts has been disturbed and not carried out thereafter.
(i) Now in many
Circles, against to the spirit of the recruitment rules 1976 and also
volume IV statutory rules, unqualified officials have been posted as APM
Accounts in HSG.II cadre and thus defeated the very purpose of
existence of such qualified posts.
(ii) The CAT Chennai in
OA No.201/2006 in case of Sri P. Ramadoss Vs the CPMG Tamil nadu held
that the separate identity of APM Accounts cadre and directed to conduct
the DPC for Accounts line without any procrastination based on the
Recruitment Rules dated 13.9.1976 and issue necessary promotion orders
to the eligible PO & RMS Accounts line officials within a period of
four weeks.
(iii) The following may please be considered to overcome the present injustice caused to the cadre:
(i) The year of
qualifying the PO & RMS Accountant exam should be the yardstick for
promotion to LSG APM Accounts. It cannot be modified without amending
the rules contained in Volume-IV.
(ii) During the
upgradation of 1622 HSG.II posts, many posts of APM Accounts were
upgraded to HSG.II. Resultantly, there is a dearth ofLSG APM Acounts
posts for promotion in feeder cadre. Hence, it is requested to restore
the LSG position for APM Accounts to the extent of 50% of total posts in
Accounts cadre by upgrading the general line posts to HSG.II.
(iii) Reserve 20% of the
total establishment in HSG.I promotion for providing promotion to the
PO & RMS qualified HSG.II APM Accounts.
(iv) If the above
proposal is considered, the present crisis will be over and it may also
be ensured by providing qualified hands to position the APM Accounts
posts in all places which will improve the efficiency in the prime
accounting functions at the base levels.

2. Non grant of Training allowance for instructors posted in WCTC of regional headquarters-
The training allowance as if
granted to instructors working in Postal Training Centre has not been
granted to the instructors posted in WCTC centers functioning at
regional headquarters even through their nature of duties are similar to
that of the instructors working in the training centers. This is a
clear discrimination between the two equals.
The reason for non grant of
such allowance is stated to be non issue of orders so far from the
Directorate for grant of training allowance to them.It is requested to
kindly consider the same.

3. Bringing all the Senior /Chief postmasters posts under the Postmasters cadre hireachical line-
After declaring the
Postmaster cadre as a separate cadre and did not allow the Postmaster
Grade-I officials to appear Group B and IP examination because of the
separate hierarchical cadre, allowing 75% posts of the senor Postmaster
for IP line is deplorable. After carving out a separate cadre from LSG
and IP line and formed a separate cadre, the provision of 75% for IPline
officials to become Postmaster cadre as Senior Postmaster is against
the spirit of the DOPT guidelines. There should not be two channel of
promotions to IP cadre when it was denied to Postmaster opted officials
to appear for the Group B exam and IP exam. Necessary decision may
please be taken.

All IndiaPostal Employees Union Postmen & MSE/
Group ‘D’
|
1. Bottle necks for efficient Delivery: Number
of articles, both registered ands ordinary mail, to be delivered and
maximum length of beat to be covered during duty hours of a postman has
not yet been decided. This need to be fixed . Moreover it is generally
seen that there is no depository system available in delivery post
office causing difficulty and hardship for disposal of undelivered mail
on return to post office on some occasion the mail entrusted to postman
is unmanageable during duty hours. The depository system needs to be
maintained for the safety and security of mail. The other hurdle is
non-adoption of Scientific measurement of Postmen beats: This issue has
been taken many times but no scientific measurement is carried out.
Measurement is generally done on paper and the postmen staff suffers a
lot when these beats are not actually measured. Moreover no
representative is detailed from postmen side to help in accessing the
actual length of beats. It would be appreciated if Circles are directed
to purchase one MELIO METER/DISTANCE WATCH METER for each division for
correct measurement of beats giving time schedule fore completion ands
compliance by target date.
|
2. Grant of incentive for delivery of Adhar Cards:As
it has been informed on many occasions that postmen is already reeling
under overburdened work and the postmen staff is not in a position to
deliver the mail entrusted to him within duty hours. Instead after
beyond duty hours, on many occasions the mail remains undelivered
despite their best efforts. Now one more bolt from the blue in the shape
of ADHAR CARDS is causing more tension since the number of Adhar Cards
received are increasing day by day and multiply the overloaded work
already held with them. It is therefore requested t grant Rs 2/- per
card as incentive for delivery of the Cards so that they could deliver
for late hours beyond their working hours convenient to them.

3. Timely Payment of individual Claims. There
is general complaint for abnormal delay in payment of individual claim
like-Medical Re-imbursement bill, OTA, Speed Post delivery incentive
bills, TA bills and Double Duty Bill etc. Timely preparation of bills
needs to be insisted upon. Sufficient fund should be made available to
avoid delay in payment of individual claims.

All IndiaPostal SBCO Employees Association
|
1. Regarding misutilisation of PA (SBCO)
Savings Bank Control
Organization in the Department of Post was established from erstwhile
Postal and Telegraphs Audit Office. Hence, SBCO should be regarded as an
Audit Wing of savings bank and given status equal to Postal Accounts on
all aspects as the functions and responsibilities of both are
synonymous. The staff of SBCO are recruited separately as Postal
Assistants (SBCO) and trained exclusively in control procedures.
Therefore, utilization of these personnel in operative work like
reconciliation of SO SB balances by deputing them to Sub offices,
settlement of minus balances, settlement of OMs should not be resorted
to.
|
2. Request for reevaluation of the issue of administrative control over SBCO staff.
Request for reevaluation of
the issue of administrative control over SBCO staff Divisional heads
have no in depth knowledge in SBCO procedures and functioning of SBCO.
As such, the powers of writing of APAR should be vested again with
Accounts officers ICO (SB) as they are the next supervisory officers
with full knowledge of the functioning of SBCO branch and its procedure
and the personal knowledge about the SBCO officials.
| ||
3. Regarding maintenance of RD ledgers for HO/SOs in V2 SBCO.
In respect of decentralized
savings categories i.e RD/MIS/SCSS the roll of SBCO must be checking of
vouchers with reference to the data available in LAN Sanchay Post for
timely detection of fraudulent activities. It is therefore requested
that the maintenance of RD ledgers for HO/SOs in V2SBCO may be dispensed
with.
