Sub- Hardship faced by staff while accepting WOS Banknotes through PO S.B Accounts & also due to non-supply of Fake note detector machines & cash counting machines-request for remedial action.

Respected Sir,   
        
         In continuation to this Circle Union’s letter of even number dated 11-11-2016, no action has been noticed to remove the plights faced by employees, working at post offices in accepting WOS Notes and exchanging with new ones. They have been forced to work on Sunday (13-11-16) & on 14-11-2016 (Holiday) without declaring the provision of remuneration for working on Sunday & holiday from our authorities. There is no provision of security while making huge transactions in the counters and also for clearing of huge accumulated cash from the offices. It has been noticed about accumulation of Crores of cash at HOs & SOs without proper security due to lack of follow of action for clearance and non-acceptance of the same in the linked banks. There is non-availability of fake note detector machines & cash counting machines in most of the post offices as a result of which the information of collection of fake notes are also coming from our post offices which may lead to staff victimization. It is has been reported also about non-supply of below Rs. 100/- notes to post offices, creating embracing condition to staff while dealing with public for other transactions.

      Our employees are ready to face all the challenges, including the present order of the Government by ceasing Rs. 500/- & Rs. 1000/- notes from the Midnight of 8thNovember 2016. At the same time also the administration should come up with actions to resolve the problems of its employees while implementing the order of the Government.

      On the circumstances, it is urged for settlement of all the above problems faced by staff as war-foot basis for smooth implementation of Government orders.

SOLICITING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WITH A LINE OF REPLY

WITH REGARDS

  Yours faithfully,

A meeting on Department of Posts specific allowances was held with the Committee on allowances under chairmanship of Secretary Finance and secretary Expenditure. From Department of Post, Secretary (Post), Member (Personal), DDG (Personal), DDG (Estates) , DDG(Estt. & SR), Director Estt. attended the meeting. From Staff Side Com. R.N. Parashar, Secretary General NFPE,Shri Theagarajan, Secretary General FNPO & Shri S.K. Mishra , Secretary General, BPEF, participated in the  meeting. Many other officers of DOP&T, Finance, Health Ministries also participated. 
            Three meetings were held with Department and Administration and Unions after discussing threadbare came to conclusion and accordingly presentation was prepared which was presented before the Committee. Secretary (Finance) shown much interest and he asked so many questions and raised queries on each allowance and asked the Department to submit a report on financial implications.
            The meeting was concluded in a very co-ordial manner and we should hope for positive outcome. On the following allowances we submitted our proposal which is mentioned below:
          Fixed Monetary Compensation to Postman:
            Proposal: Not to abolish the allowance. It is proposed to grant Rs.300/- per day for additional full beat and Rs.150/-  per day for sharing of beat(half beat)  and further proposed to increase by 25% every time when DA  reaches at    50%.(Department earlier proposed that allowance as Rs.200/- and Rs.100/- but on the demand of Federations, now it is proposed  same as Rs.3oo/- and  Rs.150/-
          Special Allowance to PO & RMS Accountants:
            Proposal: The allowance is required to be continued as this special allowance has been sanctioned in lieu of higher pay scale. If abolished, one increment is to be allowed on promotion which costs more to the Department.  Therefore, it is proposed to grant special allowance equivalent to one increment which will be kept separately and not to be added in the basic pay. Other conditions applicable to present allowance will remain in force. (i.e. if      this allowance  is drawn for three  years it will be  added to basic pay while  pay fixation on promotion.)

          Fixed Medical Allowance:
            Proposal: 33 Postal Dispensaries may be merged with CGHS.
      All Postal Pensioners irrespective of their participation in CGHS while in     service should be covered under CGHS after making requisite subscription.
      Till such time, the FMA may be allowed @ Rs.2000/- per month enhancing            from Rs.500/- p.m.  being paid at present.
