Dear Friends,

17.12.2015

Central working Committee meeting & Workshop with seminar of All India Postal SBCO Employees Association was held at M.P.club, North Avenue, New Delhi-110001 on 10^th December 2015 & 11^th December 2015.

Though our Circle Secretary, President and some of our office bearers planned to attend the meeting, they could not proceed to Delhi due to heavy rain in Chennai. So,  Shri K.R. Jeevan, PA/SBCO, Arni HO and Organising Secretary of our Association was directed by our Circle Association to attend the meeting.  The happenings of the two day meeting are summarized hereunder.

Welcome address was given  by Com.Virendra tiwary, Genereal Secretary ,AIPSBCOEA, Presided by Com.S.S.Saathe. President CHQ and the meeting was inaugurated by Com.R.N.Parashar,Secretary General,NFPE & Genl.Secy.P-III, Mrs.Seethalakshmi,Genl.Secy.R-III and Shri  R.S.Mishra, Ex.Director (H.Q.),Himachal Pradesh.

Circle office bearers and comrades of AIPSBCOEA from all over India were participated enthusiastically

On the first day, a brief lecture on the recommendations of 7^th pay commission was delivered by Com.Parashar and Com.Seethalakshmi and in the second day, DDG.(SR&Legal)Anju Migam addressed AIPSBCOEA CWC MEETING.

In the Interactive session, discussions regarding 7^th CPC, SBCO  role in CBS and Contributory cases were discussed by all the delegates.

On behalf of Tamil nadu circle following points were discussed in the Central Working Committee meeting.

Regarding 7^th CPC recommendations:

1.Except India, government employees in the  rest of  the world are the best earning persons. But in India we are begging for  hike of salaries in Pay Commission. Even self-driven drivers are getting more salary than CG Employees.

2.In 7^th CPC has noted that the stipulated entry level qualification and recruitment process of PA(SBCO) is similar to that of direct recruit Postal Assistants in the Postal Assistants cadre and their promotional channel is also identical. But, in reality PA(SBCO) is not having any promotional channel compared to Postal Assistants. The demand of higher pay PA (SBCO) to consider at par with audit staff has been rejected by 7th CPC stating that qualification for entry level in the cadre is equivalent to Postal Assistants (ie) 10 + 2 scheme. But

Para  11.8.21 of 7th CPC wherein analysis and recommendations for IPOs are given.

IPOs from direct recruitment are placed with GP 4600/- and IPOs from Departmental promotion are placed with GP 4200/- and hence now they are upgraded to 4600/-GP ignoring the qualification criteria. The basic qualification for direct IPOs is fixed as a Degree where as there is no such norms to IPOs passed in the Departmental examination.  If the higher pay  is possible to IPO cadre, why not it is extended to SBCO cadre as we are doing the same work as organised accounts cadre. 

3.New PA’s who joined after the year  2004 are already paying 10% of salary in the name of New Pension System, in addition to that in the recommendation of 7^th CPC, for CGEIS Rs.1500  is going to be deducted. This will actually lead to loss to the officials.

4. In 7^th CPC Cash handling allowance is not permissible in SBCO because they are not handling any cash. Then on what basis Department  books the  SBCO  official and  contributory negligence is fixed on them.

5.In the computerized environment in the Department, a person of 10 +  2 qualification can not manage the work and hence we request to fix the entry level qualification as a Degree but 7^th CPC turned down the request.

6.Designation of PA(SBCO) should be changed as Postal Auditors.

7. As our work nature is like  Administrative work, Five days working day shall be applicable to us also.

8.Uniform fitment formula for all level of employees.

9.For lady comrades CCL salary is downsized  to 80% of salary, It should be reviewed and withdrawn.

10.Increase the promotional opportunities for SBCO Employees

Regarding Role of SBCO in CBS:

1.Compilation  of New SBCO Manual for SBCO as per CBS environment.

2.Filling up of all vacancies at SBCO units and giving additional hands to all sbco units to manage the excess quantum of work after CBS migration (ie) to RE-DEPLOY the SOSB staff to SBCO units. In order to maintain secrecy of vouchers and other connected records,   increase the staff strength of SBCO by including the establishment of SO SB group of HO in to SBCO establishment .

3.To fix percentage checking of vouchers instead of 100% verification as finacle LOT’s cannot be viewed easily due to delay in report generation and other technical problems

4..Instead of two servers, maintaining  LOT and consolidation in the same server is very useful for SBCO in HFINRPT Menu.

5.Creation of Record keeper post in all the SBCO  units

6.To give a permanent GDS to all SBCO units on full time basis.

7.To give the interest correction HIARM menus at Divisional office level to avoid frauds(or) to give the correct procedure/steps for giving the interest correction at SBCO level.

8.To supply laser printers to all SBCO units for taking printouts whenever necessary.

9.To install Finacle software in all systems of SBCO units and replacement of all old systems with newer one for speedy report generation.

10.To give Auditor training to all SBCO staff to know the CBS nature of work in all circles as in many circles the training has not been given yet.

11.To hand over the day to day returns to supervisor SBCO by the GDS or Sub account branch through hand to hand receipt book after 100% CBS migration or Retain the SOSB branch with at least one PA to maintain consolidation, Vouchers, Dealing of Claim cases and ATM issues.

12.There is no clear rule for supervisor 5% voucher checking, we need clear rule.

13.Whether manual voucher checking register is need or not, in this case there is no clear clarification in CBS environment.

14.In the case of OM, Infosys created memo pad is not working properly and also it is not up to mark

we create one proto type objection memo menus in CBS environment as prescribed here:

FIRST STEP: Creation of OM by PA SBCO, in that PA need to enter the transaction ID of particular transaction.

It will show the account no, amount,teller id, date of transaction, mode of payment and sol id. Then PA SBCO enter the OM from the drop down(SS verification not done, MAP,COP,A/C no differs etc.,)

 SECOND STEP: Raised OM’s received by post office PA in this menu with transaction id and issue.

PA can upload the needy document and sent the same in one way. In other words he can t send manually and settle the OM.

 THIRD STEP: Settlement of OM’s are viewed by Supervisor SBCO and he will settle the OM or he can resend the same if  he is not satisfied.

 FOURTH STEP: In this menu Divisonal heads/AO ICO/PMG can view the OM status of particular HO or particular SOL ID.

 Proto type of OM Menus.
