CBS Head Post Office dealing with clearing house, should intimate cheque clearing intimation of the cheques cleared on 31.03.2017 to other linked CBS HOs and SOs well in time on 31.03.2017 either over mail or phone so that credit/debit can be afforded well in time. Late clearance activity and corresponding credits/debits should be handled by the clearing house POs without any delay. (Please note that in case of PPF Accounts maturing on 31.03.2017, cheque cleared before 31.03.2017 will not be allowed to be credited after 31.03.2017)
5. CEPT FSI Team will be disabling certain menus according to the requirements during EOY Batch execution to control resource utilisation; CPCs will be kept informed from time-to-time on this and should coordinate with their SOLs on this exercise.
6. Reports regarding Interest credited in SB/SSA/PPF/NSS-87 and NSS-92 accounts of a CBS post office, Silent Account maintenance Fee charged and Total number of accounts marked as silent (total amount and accounts for a Post Office and not account-wise) will be intimated through CPCs by the end of first week of April 2017.

SUGGESTIONS AND VIEWS OF BPEF & BEDEU
OVER THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF VITH GDS COMMITTEE
We are thankful to entire team of one –man GDS Committee headed by Shri
Kamlesh Chandra for making observations over each factor of GDS system by
considering it as “SOUL “ of Deptt.
(Para 4.49)
Through recommendations, it tried
to establish a G.D.S. System which should increase job security, prevent
exploitation and increase income of GDS so that they may live happily with this system and with existing
legal status awarded to them.
The committee tried to remove
, with Data , a misconception that
GDS POs are only causing Departmental
deficit . The deficit incurred by GDS is only 45% of total deficit and 15% of total
expenditure (para 4.48) . It also became successful to prove that gap between revenue earned and expenditure
incurred by GDS POs is very less.
It was successful in
reminding the Department that where work load
and traffic were not favorable the courier services were allowed to function and similarly 100% FDI was also allowed to fulfills USO responsibilities . Therefore , it is
responsibility of Deptt. to assist the GDS system in order to increase USO
obligations and business in rural
sector, (para 4.4).
The most attractive
point of committee over which it based
its observation was Hon’ble
P.M. Narendra Modi ji slogan “SABKA SAATH
SABKA VIKAS”.
By way of recommendations
, it tried to improve system not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. Its recommendation were in midway between Talwar Committee in
higher side and Natraj Murti Committee recommendation in lower side. .
VIEWS & SUGGESTIONS
1. Duty hours & New Wage system : 11 TRCA slabs are sub subsumed into 3 wage scales with two levels of BPM & ABPMs. Out of six GDS
category one will be called BPM and other 5 will be multitasking category whose
jobs will no longer be confined to their old designation. The ABPM
will Assist BPM for increasing revenue generation . The job profile is expanded to include Business Development
and Marketing. Incentive to ABPM (MD&MC) for delivery work of Speed post
& COD work etc. are also to be granted . ABPM have to do combined duty of
BPM . The Time factors of Dak Sevaks of Departmental POs have to be assessed
with Departmental norms but duties will
be upto 5 Hrs. only . In general Duty hours were made 4 hrs. and 5 hrs. with minimum wage 10,000 Maximum 35480/-. Status of
Dak Sevaks & ABPM is equivalent and name will be exchanged on transfer. Vide para 3-31-11 committee gave independence to rename them on advice of union . Therefore, we suggest :
1. Dak Sevaks be renamed as Assistant Postman / Asstt. Mailman as the
case may be.
2. BPMs may also be allowed to get incentive as being allowed to PAs of Deptt. POs in a similar way ABPM were allowed .
3. The revenue generation binding for moving
from Level –I to II may be reduced.
4. Annual increment of 3% may be allowed with open ended pay scales.
5. Max. 7.30 hrs. duty hours may be allowed.
6. No GDS offices should be closed and instead
relocated at suitable place.
7. Existing wage of GDS should not be reduced in
case of the BO fails to achieve revenue norms fixed under revenue related
categorizations of BO
8. Strengthen Sub POs by converting all single
handed Sub Post office with double handed.
2.
Abolition of Point System , Revenue generation
plan and making marketing efforts :
Wages were delinked from workload and made
dependent over revenue generation. In General, Duty hours were fixed 4 hrs. In
case defined revenue is not generated it can be opened upto 30 Minutes more .
Committee vide Para 4.50 refers that More than revenue Generation, it is the reach and trust of GDS network which
enable the Deptt. to deliver trust worthy service in each & every part of
country that cannot be quantified in term of revenue and is far beyond realm of
expenditure.
Committee vide Para 6.80 refers that Door to door marketing & budget allotment
for the purpose are some of prime factor which do not found any importance for
rural business which is emerging as a major source of revenue of Deptt. The
potentials of GDS are also not being trapped properly.
Committee Vide Para 6.81 emphasis that :-
The GDS are not used for marketing as this job has not been added as duty
in job profile in existing term of
engagement . The Deptt. should utilize the same for marketing and add it as a
function in job principle.
Committee Vide Para 6.8.7 suggest that Annual business target for SO and GDS PO
should not be marked individually and instead a consolidated target should be given
to sub Divisional Head consisting of all so & GDS PO of Sub. Division .
Therefore we suggest that ,
1.
Minimum 5
hrs duty, with 1 hrs. for marketing work may provided to GDS . Therefore, minimum wage should be made
12,500 -30,000 , 15000- 36000, 15000-36000, 17000- 44000.

-BE
ALERT-
NOTICE OF ONE DAY STRIKE ON 16TH
MARCH 2017 – AN EFFORT FOR TAKING CHEAP POPULARITY
You all are well aware that as per direction of some
foreign elements the said comrades have become habitual to serve notice of one
day strike to give honour of “Red Salute” to their God father in every year and
try to celebrate it as festival. This strike is not for making pressure upon
Government to solve any problem but this is only a false effort to oppose for opposing.
We would like to
make very clear that when the strike
will be necessary in favour of employees against Govt. policies , we will issue
notice of strike and will stand in first
row of strikers.
The announce date of this strike was in February 2017 in
earlier notice. But it was changed for 16th March 2017 in a planned way.
One of our dynamic leader from Allahabad Postal Division, Shri Vikram Sing generally
use to says that these people are very cleaver persons. When these comrades get
news about some new achievements going
to be come out very soon, at the same time they issue strike
notice to draw attention of employees
for taking credit. Dear brother, it is inform you that the allowances committee
has given its report to the Government but due to Model code conduct regarding
Elections in some states , it could not be announced timely. This is the reason of one
day strike. In one hand, they want to take credit and secondly
they want to please their said god father.
BPEF appeals to our members and office
bearers to perform their duties and remain away from this strike to demoralise
these elements by your high moral way which is our identity.
