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 India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group ‘C’.
1. Fixation of Norms for CRCs, EPP, Logstic and
SPCs ETC. The productivity norms
for CRC were fixed as 900 articles per 8 hour duty or 120 RLs per hour based on
the Work Study. The Staff Side have not accepted these productivity norms as it
is impossible for the staff to give this output as 80% of work has to be doe
manually and more than 50% are received without bar coding under R. Net System.
More over increasing output on TBOP/BCR promotion was against the agreed norms.
The question of higher productivity of 5% and 1% required on account of
TBOP/BCR was against the agreed norms during of higher productivity 19991, 6%
operative staff strength and 20% supervisory posts were abolished D.G. Posts
vide letter No .DG P&T No.31-28/83-PE-I dated 17-12-1983 has envisaged that
the posts in operative and supervisory cadres will continue to be sanctioned on
the basis of present norms i.e. as per Maratha Time Test.
In view of the JCM agreements the productivity
norms of 900 articles per 8 hours prescribed by the Department is arbitrary. We
would therefore, urge upon the Department to refix the norms which is feasible
in consultation with the Staff Side.
2. Stop privatisation /out sourcing. Reports have been received from various circles that indiscriminate
closer/merger and abolition of RMS sets/Sections, MMS Schedules engagement of
outsiders etc. are being carried out without following any norms and diverting
the respective services to private service providers. All these on going
processes would render staff surplus. We would therefore, urge upon the
Department of Posts to engage Postal/RMS/MMS staff for all activities of Postal
services.
3. Provide adequate Motor Vehicles for conveyance of mails/logistics
etc. and fill up vacant posts in MMS: Provide adequate Motor Vehicle for conveyance of mails/logistics.
Replace all condemned vehicles, impart sufficient computer training to the
technical staff to deal with modern power vehicles, insure MMS Vehicles,
finalize Recruitment Rules, Artisans in MM”S which are lying vacant since long.

All India Postal
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 IndiaRMS &
MMS Employees Union, Mail guards & /MTS
1. Supply of shoe instead of chappals to the
staff who are eligible for uniform.
Recently the colour of uniform cloth
supplied to eligible staff has been changed . But the footwear is not changed
(particularly in south) though shoe is supplied to the staff in some circles
(in north ) the othercircles still get only chapplas which do not go with the
new uniform. Therefore, kindly to supply shoe to all the staff that are
hitherto supplied with chappals so that their uniform and footwear together
present a neat and diginified appearance to our staff.
2. Request for imparting training to
non-matriculate Group D Canteen employees in Assam
and Delhi Circles.
The Non-Matriculate Group D employees Canteen
staff cadre on or after 1.1.2006 but before the implementation of 6th CPC
pay scales are being denied 1800/- GP from 1.1.2006 for the duration of their
Group D employment on the grounds that they were not being imparted with the
required training. No action is also being taken in such cases to impart the
same training as like other non-matriculate Group D staff.
Up gradation of pay of Canteen staff from 1300/-
GP to 1800/- GP Assam and Delhi Circles necessary qualifying training was
completed of those staff for up gradation of pay but no action taken by
authorities as yet whereas there is standing instructions of Directorate that
completion of training up gradation must be effected within (6) months. This
Union request revision of pay scale of Rs 4440-7440 with Grade Pay of Rs 1300/-
to Rs 5200-20200 with Grade pay of Rs 1800/- since the pay band 1S is going to
be abolished in future.
Our union requests your kind intervention to
cause to issue instructions to arrange for imparting the same training to such
promoted non-matriculate officials also and grant 1800/- GP from 1.1.2006 to
Canteen staff of Assam and Delhi Circles.
3. Filling up of Multi Tasking Staff vacancies in
accordance with the latest Recruitment rules. Filling up of Multi Tasking Staff vacancies in accordance
with the latest Recruitment rules Ref: Your office letter Directorate memo
No.45-2/2011-SPB-I dated 27.01.2011. Our Union requests your kind
attention to your office letter cited above wherein, all the Recruiting
Authorities for the Multi Tasking Staff Vacancies in the Circle were directed

Directorate memo No.45-2/2011-SPB-I dated 27.01.2011. The last date fixed for

necessary action to get all the MTS Vacancies in the MMS Division’s of the
above circles filled in without any further delay.

All India Postal
Accounts Employees Association.
1. Recruitment in
Postal Accounts Offices.
For the past two years this Association is
bringing this aspect to the notice of the authorities. It is assured to make
recruitment in PAOs on priority basis. Yet, there is no significant improvement
in the situation. The PSOs are working under severe shortage of Staff. There is
a need to review the situation urgently and take up the remedial measures. It
is requested to cause orders to fill up all the vacancies through local
recruitment/absorption from other departments etc. as a onetime measure in a
time bound manner.
2. Implement the Hon. Principal
CAT, Delhi order in OA 1066/2011 filed by AIPAEA.
This Association has filed a case in the Hon. Pr.CAT, Delhi seeking
a direction to give the benefit of 2nd financial upgradation
under ACP ignoring the promotions due to up-gradation of Junior Accountant
posts to Senior Accountant. Earlier the O.A 955/210 by this Association in the
similar matter has been remitted to the authority for considering the
representation of the AIPAEA. The representation was submitted to DDG(PAF) and
the same was rejected vide the order dated 28.12.2010. This is challenged and
Hon. Pr. CAT quashed the memo dated 28.12.2010 and remitted back to the
respondents for taking a fresh decision in this regard. It is requested to
honour the spirit of the judgment in OA 1066/2011 and implement the same by
giving the benefit of 2nd financial up-gradation ignoring the
promotion from Junior Accountant to Senior Accountant cadre.
3. Financial up-gradation (ACP) as per the
existing hierarchy in the Post Accounts to the officials appointed through
surplus cell.
It has come to the notice of this Association
that a few LDCs from the erstwhile National Saving Organization allotted by the
surplus cell to the Postal Accounts organization as LDC, has been deprived of
financial up gradation (ACP) as per the existing hierarchy in the Postal
Accounts. These cases may kindly be reviewed and favourable orders issued.

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.

All IndiaPostal Admn. Offices’
Employees’Union, Group ‘C’ & ‘D’.
1. Fixation of pay of MTS (Group C officials) who
were granted ACP –I and ACP-II up gradation prior to 01.01.2006
Consequent upon implementation of 6th CPC
recommendation in the light of Postal Directorates latest order No.
1-20/2008-PCC (Pt) dated18.07.2011
The MTS Group- C (erstwhile Group D)
officials who got ACP upgradation prior to 01.01.2006 had been given MACP
upgradation from 01.09.2006 ignoring their ACP up gradations as per
Postal Dte’s O.M. on MACPs dated 18.09.2009 issued on the strength of DOPT O.M.
No. 35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19.05.2009 by applying single, double or triple
fixation formula as specified in the said O.M. dated 18.092009
After almost three years from the date of effect
of such MACPs to the concerned officials the Dte order no.
1-20/2008-PCC(Pt)dtd.18.07.2011 from Pay Commission Cell has been issued which
drected to give Grade Pay of Rs. 1900/- to officials who got ACP-I prior to
01.01.2006 and Grade Pay of Rs. 2000/- to officials who got ACP-II prior to
01.01.2006 if this order is implemented, if will cause the following adverse
effects:
a) The Pay of the sdofficials already fixed 3
years back, is going to be reduced to a large extend and
b) Huge recovery is to be made against each of
them for no fault of their own.
2. Providing norms for BD, Technology, RTI
oriented works and Project Arrow works and Project Arrow works done by the CO
and ROs and arrangement for manning the BD Section exclusively by
Circle/Regional office staff.
Notes: No establishment norms as per SIU standard
for works relating to BD, Technology, Project Arrow and RTI oriented works has
been formulated so far our knowledge goes. It is evident that huge work hours
for disposal of those items of works have already been created in CO/ROs but no
man power to deal with the cases has been provided due to non framing of norms
to adjudge the quantum of such work.
3. Filling up vacant Posts in the cadre of PACO,
holding of DPC for LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I Grades.
Notes: Many Circles/ Regional Offices have been
suffering from shortage of staff due to non-filling of vacant posts in the
cadre of PACO. Further for non holding of DPC in a time bound manner,
good number of posts in LSG, HSG.II and HSG.I Grade are lying vacant causing
problems for Circle and Regional offices. If those vacant promotional
posts (LSG, HSG.II and HSG.I) are filled up, it would be resulting in more
vacancies in PACO cadre.
LGO examination needs to be held timely to keep
alive the promotional prospects of MTS Group-C officials.
