Subject for Bi-monthly meetings

The following are the subjects to be discussed in the proposed Bi-monthly meeting to be held during September 2012 in all regions.

1.          Non supply of SB/RD lists by SOs and HOs causing delay in investigation

It is brought to the notice of this Association that the HOs and SOs are not supplying the updated list of balances of all accounts standing in Pos to the Sub Divisional heads immediately for cent percent verification of accounts due to fraud. This caused delay in investigation. Further in later dates the Sub divisional heads are being punished as subsidiary offender for the delay in investigation. Therefore it is requested to instruct all the divisional heads to supply the list of balances immediately.  

2.        Grant of RPLI incentive to Sub divisional heads for processing the Application

          The 10% incentive entitled to the Sub divisional heads for processing the RPLI applications are being stopped for the past two years. Sub divisional heads work load has been increased abnormally due to this additional work. Apart from processing the application the Sub divisional heads are the key persons in marketing the product of insurance. Hence it is kindly requested to restore the 10% incentive at once.

3.        Request for early passing of IP/ASP TA bills

          The IP/ASP’s  TA bills are delayed in divisions due to fund constraints in the particular head. Nowadays this cadre is always on tour and spent huge amount during tour due to the steep increase of prices. They are not able to afford fund for TA expenses from their salary. So it is kindly requested to pass their bills early in the revised rate on self declaration for food bill providing adequate fund.

Respected Madam,

     
Sub: Request to accommodate the Surplus Qualified IPs of Tamilnadu circle working outside the circle in to Home Circle - reg
   
This is regarding re allotment of the surplus qualified Tamilnadu IPs working in other circles to our home circle. Under this scheme 45 IPs from Tamilnadu Circle were allotted to other circles. Out of which 9 IPs have been already re-allotted to Tamilnadu circle.  Remaining 36 male IPs are still working in other circles leaving their family members in Tamilnadu.

 

The scheme of surplus qualified candidates for IP examination has been discontinued from 2011 itself vide Dte Letter No. A-34020/01/2007-DE dated 21.07.2011. Those candidates stands allotted to various other circles during 2010 are denied to go back to their parent circle. But the candidates who have qualified in the subsequent year under the surplus candidates have been allotted to the same circle in many parts of the country. Further many circles have already accommodated their circle surplus qualified IPs working outside the circle in to their home circle. The most affected surplus Tamilnadu male IPs are still working in Northern part of the country. 

 

At present 45 IP posts are vacant in our circle. Even some Sub divisions are vacant and managed by additional charge. Hence I most kindly request the benign CPMG to consider the genuine request of Tamilnadu circle IPs and a proposal may please be taken up with Directorate for accommodating all the surplus qualified IPs in to our circle as one time measure.

                                                 Thanking you Madam,

Yours faithfully,

Letter to Minister of State for Finance to decide GP file.

No. GS/AIAIASP/GP/2012                                                                            Dated 3rd September, 2012

Subject : Disparity in the pay scale of Inspectors Post (Group B).

Respected Sir, 

I wish to bring to your kind notice the discrimination meted out to the cadre of Inspectors Post (Group B) in the Department of Post under Ministry of Communication in the matter of Grade Pay in comparison to the grade pay granted to the analogous cadres in other departments such as CBEC/CBDT and Assistants in Central Secretariat.

The pay scale of Inspectors Post (IPs) was having a historical parity with the pay scales of Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC/IB. However, this parity was disturbed in 1986 and Inspectors Post cadre is forced to perpetuate miserable fate by 1986 pay commission. The 5th Central Pay Commission however recognized this parity in pay scales between these cadres and placed Inspectors Post in the scale of Rs. 5500-9000 on par with the Inspectors in CBEC & CBDT. The Inspectors of CBI and IB were however placed in the scale of Rs. 6500-10500.

However, like Inspectors Post (Group B), the Inspectors in CBEC & CBDT taken up the disparity and anomaly in their pay scales in Comparison to the Inspectors of CBI/IB with respective Ministry/Department. After negotiation, litigation and struggle the inspector in CBEC & CBDT get justice from the Government who were finally placed in the pay scale Rs. 6500-10500 vide the Department of Expenditure (Implementation Cell) Office Memorandum F.No.6/37/98-IC dated 21.4.2004 bringing at per with Inspectors of CBI and IB. Unfortunately the above grant of replacement in scale was not done in the cadre of Inspectors Post and Govt. left the issue to be decided by 6th pay commission.

The Sixth Central Pay Commission has recommended merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 with a view to bring Inspectors Post at par with Inspectors in CBEC & CBDT as well as Assistants in CSS and this has also been accepted and implemented by the Govt. Accordingly Inspectors Post have been placed in PB-2 with grade pay of Rs.4200/- at par with Assistant in CSS/Inspectors and Analogous post in CBEC & CBDT.

Now again, the Grade Pay of Inspectors in CBEC & CBDT has been revised from Rs.4200/- to 4600/- vide Ministry of Finance Memo. No.1/1/2008-IC dated 13th Nov.2009 (Annex-I) leaving Inspector Post in stagger. The Grade Pay of Assistants in the Central Secretariat has also been upgraded from Rs.4200/- to 4600/- vide Ministry of Finance Memo No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 16th November 2009 (Annex-II) but the file of Inspector Posts has been returned back by Ministry of Finance with the remarks that the post of Inspector Posts is not comparable to that Inspector in CBEC & CBDT.



SIR, Your good self can well imagine the plight of Inspector Posts and as such we are harried a lot. Sir, it is wrong to say that our cadre is inferior to any analogous post rather we are superior to them that is why we have been considered in Group B and given the responsibility as recruiting officers, appointing authorities, as sub divisional officer has to manage total postal affairs. We are investigating authority, inquiring authority; attend court cases like law officer, handle technology deals like IT professional and process legal cases such as police cases, forum cases, labour court cases still how we are inferior to Inspectors of CBDT what a strange on the part of official dealing the case in Ministry of Finance. Sir, we are recruited through the same examination (Graduate Level Examination) as is in the case of other Inspectors than how the cadre of Inspector Posts can not be compared with other Inspectors. Sir, any other cadre in analogous post is not given the responsibility as Inspector Post has been given.

Department of Posts (Pay Commission Cell) continuously pursued the case at highest level with Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure with recommendations of the Secretary (Posts) for pay parity of Inspector Post but the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure is not ready to take the view of the Department of Posts positively resulting frustration and demoralization amongst the Inspector, Posts cadre.

Out of this frustration some of our members approached Hon’ble CAT for natural justice. Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam Bench has specifically stated in para 33 of its judgment dated 19th October’2011 (Annex-III) that “.....the case has been considered and the Tribunal is of the considered view that there is no justification in denying the Inspector (Posts) the higher Grade Pay of Rs 4600/- when the same is admissible to Inspectors of other Departments with whom parity has been established by the very Sixth Pay Commission vide its report at para 7.6.14 extracted above......."(Annex-IV).

Hon’ble CAT has allowed the OA to the extent that keeping in tune with the observations of the Sixth Pay Commission, coupled with the strong recommendations of the Department of Post and also in the light of our discussion as above, first respondent, i.e. the Ministry of Finance shall have a re-look in the matter at the level of Secretary and consider the case of the Inspector (Posts) for up-gradation of their grade pay at par with that of the Inspector of income tax, of CBDT and CBEC.

Since it appears that the proposal sent by the DOP to implement the orders of Hon’ble CAT has not yet been considered by the Secretary (Finance), we request your good self to please intervene in the matter and take up the issue with the appropriate authorities for an early settlement and grant of pay grade of Rs.4600/- to Inspector Posts w.e.f 1.1.2006 as has been done in the analogous post in other departments.

For this act of kindness, we shall remain ever obliged. 

Yours sincerely,

Sd/-

MoC calls for separating regulatory services functions of Department of Post

Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal has called for restructuring of 150-year-old Department of Post by separating its regulatory and services functions to meet challenges of technological age.

"The postal department should also restructure itself to meet challenges of 21st century. The Department of Post (DoP) should look into prospect of bifurcating the ministry from the regulator and the operator, just as was done in the telecom sector," Sibal told PTI.

He said that the DoP should explore possibility of having different entities namely policy making, regulator and service provider. "No decision has been taken yet. It is all a matter of debate and dialogue at the moment," Sibal said.

DoP, which has around 5 lakh employees, is responsible for policy making, regulation and providing postal services, at present.

The over 100-year old Indian Post Office Act bars any individual or entity from delivering letters for commercial purpose. The business of private courier companies is built around delivering documents, parcels and others items which do not fall under the category of 'letter'.

Sources in the ministry said that Sibal held a meeting with DoP officials early this week on the issue of finanlisation of the National Postal Policy 2012 and asked them to prepare roadmap for restructuring as well.

They said that next meeting on the issue is expected to take place in 15 days. They said that the minister, in June, had asked DoP to set up a body to oversee the unbundling of its functions.

An independent body named Postal Development Board (PDB) will be responsible for the overall development and governance of the postal sector, they added. The PDB will also draw a road-map for unbundling of postal department functions.

An independent body named Postal Development Board (PDB) will be responsible for the overall development and governance of the postal sector, they added. The PDB will also draw a road-map for unbundling of postal department functions.

The Minister had also instructed DoP to constitute a Postal Advisory Board (PAB), in line with Telecom Commission, which should have representation from Government, industry players, academics and other stakeholders, they said. The role of PAB will be to provide inputs to PDB on policy matters.

The government in 1997 created the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to regulate the sector. Under New Telecom Policy 1999, Government further restructured DoT by separating service providing function from it.
