AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/EFFECTS OF RRR/2020                                           DATED: 22.01.2020

To

The Secretary,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi- 110 001.

Subject:-  Framing of Department of Posts (Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant)       

                 Recruitment Rules, 2019 reg.

Ref. 1. Association letter No.AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/ Input/Suggestion on prevention of Fraud/2019 dated- 16.9.19.

Ref. 2. Association letter No.AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/AUDIT STATUS/2019 dated- 25.11.2019.

Ref. 3.  Association letter No. AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/Change of role of SBCO/2019 dated-2.12.2019.

Respected Sir,

                            Our Association has written many numbers of letters for maintaining separate identity of SBCO and not to merge with the General line PAs . Even in the Directorate meeting conducted on 17.1.2020, it was strongly emphasized by our Association that SBCO is an internal check organization and sensitive wing which is the watch dog of crores of public money and accounts of POSB category.

The policy of the Revised Recruitment Rules 2019 is against the control procedure laid for SBCO and against the SB order 2/2008 dated 4.2.2008, para 5 d (ii) in which it is clearly mentioned that “ No staff of SBCO will be utilized for any Postal operations.” Interchange of General line staff in place of PA SBCO will dilute the entire Audit and Accounts checking procedure and the frauds will be heaped.

 Already staff of all cadres are experiencing acute shortage due to the stagnation in recruitment process as a result of which frauds are increasing day by day and the innocent officials are being trapped under contributory negligence and many are not relieved to their requested offices of transfer.

Mostly, all the officials are already overburdened on the above issue. The only solution to address them  is conducting one time drive of recruitment by the Department of posts  and filling up all vacancies up to the sanctioned strength in all cases of SBCO. Still,  the Department intend to proceed with implementation of  the Revised Recruitment Rules 2019, it will create new problems that will affect the interest and efficiency of the employees.Finally, it is sincerely conveyed if our concerns are not given due consideration there may be chances of untoward consequences like scot-free frauds for which employees should not be put responsible.

                              If at all the Department wants to Merge the SBCO staff, let them be merged with the staff of Director of Postal (Accounts) and brought under the control of Accounts Officer, GM PA&F.  No matter even if the DPA is to be Decentralized , let the SBCO staff , cadre who were already decentralized may work along with the staff of DPA under the control of the Accounts Officer . As already in all the previous letters of our Association , the identical work nature of SBCO and DPA were explained in detail and that both wings were bifurcated from the AG P & T only.

                            Our Association once again requests your honourable self that SBCO may be maintained as such with a separate identity and nomenclature, assigning a new redefined role according to the present scenario or be merged with DPA under the control of the Accounts Officer and decentralized along with DPA.

With Regards,

                -Sd-

AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/one time relaxation in RRs of HSG I and HSG II /2020        DATED: 20.01.2020

To

The Secretary,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi- 110 001.

Subject:-  One time relaxation in RRs of HSG I and HSG II for SBCO reg…

Respected Sir,

                           Our Association would like to bring to the kind notice of the honorable Secretary Posts, that in SBCO there are so many HSG I and HSG II posts  lying vacant due to  very few eligible officials in the feeder cadre of LSG posts. This creates a lot of problems in almost all units wherever the HSG I and HSG II posts are vacant as the junior officials who have just entered the Department are forced to look after the duties of the Supervisory (HSG I & HSG II) Posts and are overburdened. Hence our Association requests that one time relaxation in RRs of HSG I and HSG II Posts may be given for SBCO officials so that the eligible officials in LSG posts may be accommodated in the vacant HSG I and HSG II posts. Also the PA/SBCO will have promotional chances to LSG as a result of this.

                         Hence one time relaxation may be given in RRs of HSG I and HSG II for SBCO similar to the Postal and RMS side as the process for the same is going on. This will be a very big boon to the staff of SBCO for getting their promotions as their promotional avenues are very much limited as of now and ofcourse beneficiary to all units where there are vacancies in the Supervisory posts for smooth functioning of SBCO.

Ref. No:AIPSBCOEA/counting induction training reg/Tamilnadu/2020  Dt-7.1.2020       

To

Shri Murugan Sampath,

Chief Post master General,

Tamil nadu Circle,

Chennai 600 002.

Respected Sir,

Sub: Counting of pre-appointment induction training period as regular service for the purpose of grant of MACP promotion.

Ref: Arising

            In connection with the above subject, Our Association wishes to bring the following few items  to the kind notice and favourable orders of CPMG please.

1.    At the time of issue of initial orders on implementation of MACPS by the Department of Posts vide OM dt 18.09.2009, it was mentioned in para no. 9 at Page 6 of the said OM that “Service rendered on adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment or pre-appointment training shall not be taken in to reckoning “ As such the word “or” mentioned before the words ‘pre-appointment training’ has prevented considering period of pre-appointment training for the purpose of granting financial up-gradations under MACPS.

2.    A corrigendum order dated 23.06.2016 was issued by the Department of Posts replacing the sentence “Service rendered on adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment or pre-appointment training shall not be taken in to reckoning “ with the sentence “Service rendered on adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment on pre-appointment training shall not be taken in to reckoning “. Consequent on replacing the word “or” with “on” the orders issued on MACPS vide OM dated 18.09.2009 and corrigendum thereon dated 23.06.2016 have removed the explicit directions of not to count pre-appointing training for MACPS. (ie) the orders issued on MACPS now are not preventing to consider pre-appointment training for the purpose of granting financial up-gradation under MACPS.

3.    Also, it is pertinent to mention that as per GOI, DoP&T OM no. 16/16/89-Estt (Pay –I) dated 22.10.1990 and OM no. 16/16/92-Estt (Pay II ) dated 31.03.1992 related to Direct Recruits who are compulsorily required to undergo training before taking up  Govt. employment  whether on remuneration of stipend or otherwise is treated as duty for the purpose of drawing “increments”.

4.    Keeping in view of these provisions, orders were issued by the GOI, Ministry of Communications & IT, Department of Posts (SPB-II section) vide order no. 44-47/1998-SPB II dt 03.08.2000,  27.07.2001 and 05.05.2004 to the effect that the period of induction training will also be counted for benefit of promotion under the TBOP / BCR schemes if such training period were counted for increment in that scale and recently orders were issue by the GOI, Ministry of communications & IT, Department of Posts (SPB-II section) vide order no. 44-2/2011-SPB-II dt 05.05.2016 extending the benefit of counting of induction training period for the purpose of qualifying service under TBOP /BCR scheme in respect of Postal Assistant / Sorting assistant ( Direct Recruits only ) who underwent training prior to 01.01.1986 as one time measure. Considering the same analogy, counting of induction training period for granting of promotion under MACPS needs to be adopted as the promotions under MACPS are also treated as financial up-gradations only like  TBOP /BCR.

5.    Since the TBOP /BCR schemes which were in existence up to 31.08.2008 (ie) prior the date of implementation of MACPS and MACPS are considered as financial up-gradation, the period of induction training shall be counted for the purpose of granting MACPS. In this regard, kind notice is invited to the CPMG, Andrapradhesh memo no. ST/PA/dlgs/2016  dated  at Hyderabad 500 001, the 24.09.2016  wherein it is clarified that the period of induction training is part of the process / formality to be completed prior to appointment and appointment orders are to be issued only on completion of training period.

6.    In view of the above, our association strongly believes that the following SBCO officials are eligible for incorporating the period of induction training for the purpose of considering grant of MACPS to them from the date of commencement of their induction training.
