The Chief Post Master General,

Sir,

Sub: Regularisation of prolonged provisional appointments of GDS employees in the

                     circle-requested.

A large number of GDS officials are working under provisional appointments almost in all the divisions in the circle.

Time and again this problem has been discussed in all periodical meetings at all level and it has been only assured that all such prolonged provisional appointments will be regularized soon on receipt of the police verification report through district collectors about the character and antecedents of those provisional appointees.

But no tangible action appears to have been taken to speed up the said process and the provisional appointments remain as it was so long.

In this connection this circle union requests to adopt the method followed by the administration in the matter of recruitment of SBCO LDC to fill up the vacancies.

In the LDC recruitment, all the candidates have been directly issued with regular appointment order on the strength of furnishing conduct certificates obtained from two gazatted officers subject to the condition that they would be removed immediately, if any adverse report about character and antecedents is subsequently received.

This circle union will remain highly thankful if the above mentioned same analogy is applied in the matter of regularization of the provisional GDS appointees so as to enable all the prolonged provisional GDS employees to get regularized in all divisions very immediately. It is requested suitable such instructions be issued to all Divisional Heads in the circle.

Soliciting orders and reply.

              Yours Faithfully

         A.Ismail

DA :- List of subjects

Subjects

1) Arbitrary reduction of TRCA for GDS employees with retrospective effect in central region.

A mass scale reduction of TRCA has been ordered in divisions like vriddhachalam, cuddalore, pudukkottai etc with retrospective effect, resulting huge amount of recovery of already paid TRCA. This is quite against to the orders of the department. The orders of the department have been misinterpreted by the divisional heads. Protection of TRCA is provided in the rules for one year in respect of GDS BPMs and reduction of TRCA for them could be ordered only after the expiry of period of protection. Likewise reduction of TRCA could be ordered for other GDS employees only with the prospective dates and not with the retrospective date. This rule position has not been properly studied by the respective divisional heads. It is therefore requested to kind stop such retrospective reduction ordered for a good number of GDS officials in all the above said divisions and the recovered amount may me refunded to the GDS employees concerned immediately.

2) Grant of financial assistant towards the flood relief for GDS officials working in the costal divisions in central region.

The GDS officials working in the coastal divisions like cuddalore, Vriddhachalam, Nagappattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Pattukkottai etc are badly affected due to the frequent cyclonic rain. For instance, the cyclonic rain showered in December 2015, can be cited. The department disbursed flood relief materials to all the affected departmental employees baring the affected GDS employees unearned. Similarly, in the recent cyclonic rain in may 2016 also, the GDS officials have been greatly affected by floods.

It is therefore requested to kindly disburse financial assistance to all the flood affected GDS employees in the above mentioned coastal divisions at the rate of Rs.5000/- from circle welfare fund in addition to Rupees.2000/- from the circle benevolent fund as already ordered by the department and the affected GDS employees may be financially helped.

3) Non implementations of the recommendations of Sri.Chauhan committee in true spirit in the matter of awarding penalties to GDS employees.

The recommendations of Sri.Chauhan committee introducing revised penalty schedule for the GDS were approved by the government as well as the department. Accordingly the revised penalty schedule was ordered to take effect from 14.01.2015. As per the revised penalty orders, the GDS employees have been blessed with two more additional penalties to be awarded, saving them from discourteous removal/dismissal etc., for their day to day lapses of any kind. These additional penalties have been introduced to show leniency in the interest of the suffering GDS only. But the disciplinary authorities are not acting by realizing the very purpose of introducing those additional penalties. Even for menial offence, the GDS employees are mercilessly awarded with grave penalty of removal/dismissal even after the department has empowered them to act leniently. The situation remains the same in all divisions under central region. Hence it is requested that the said revised penalty schedule may be implemented in true spirit by giving an opportunity to the offended GDS employees to learn a lesson and to correct themselves in future carrier, instead of sending them out of employment.

Sub: Inconvenience arises to the rural GDS employees while taking salary reg.

Respected Sir,

This union is constrained to put forth the following to your kind notice and sympathetic consideration.

After the implementation of VI th central pay commission to the civilian employees, salaries of the govt. employees are ordered to be credited into bank account. The same procedure has also been adopted in the case of GDS employees also in our circle. Normally the salary amount is credited into the Post office savings bank account. But the savings bank rule doesn’t permit the GDS BPM sanction the withdrawal amount above Rs.5000/-. Because of this practice our GDS employees working in the rural BO’s are unable to get their salary on the pay day in one lump sum. To overcome this difficulty this Circle union comes forth with a suggestion that the limit for sanction of withdrawal (in the case of salary only) from the SB account of the GDS employees may perhaps be raised to the amount equal to their salaries as an exceptional case. This may enable the poor GDS employees to get their salary on the pay day in one lump sum. If not possible the poor GDS employees may kindly be permitted to take payment directly without crediting into the savings bank account. Therefore this circle union earnestly requesting our Hon. CPMG to intervene into this matter immediately and cause favourable orders.

A single line reply is solicited.

                                        Thanking You

Respected Sir,

Sub: Inability to claim RPLI Incentives by the official who procured the business reg.

This circle union is constrained to put forth the following issue to the Hon. CPMG’s kind notice and necessary early action.

Generally, RPLI incentives have been paid to the employees who produce the RPLI business. Individual agent code number has been allotted to each and every employee in order to claim the incentives.

In the Mecamish scenario, an insurant can remit the premium anywhere in India. Due to this procedure the actual agent (the GDS employee who procures the policy) could not get the credit particulars for incentive claim. Hence the employee who procured the policy is unable to claim the incentive for the subsequent remittance of premium amounts.

Therefore this union requests our Hon. CPMG to cause appropriate orders to intimate the credit particulars to the actual agent, who procure the business and help the poor employee to get the due incentive in time.

A single line reply is solicited.

Thanking You.

Respected Sir,

Sub: Immediate action is requested to stop the irregular recovery of TRCA from GDS officials in the name of triennial revision 2013-reg.

It is brought to the notice of this Circle Union that, some of the divisions in Central Region, has adopted the irregular procedure of TRCA recovery in connection with the triennial revision of TRCA taken in the year 2013 and it had been implemented in the year 2015. The TRCA of a lot of GDS employees got reduced and a huge amount was ordered to be recovered from the salary of the poor GDS employees, with retrospective effect. A huge amount was ordered to be recovered for a large number of cases.

A good number of our members are severely affected due to this irregular recovery.

Therefore this union is urging our Hon. CPMG, TN to intervene personally in this matter so as to safeguard the poor GDS employees from financial hardship.

A single line reply is solicited.

Thanking You
