MEETING WITH HON'BLE SECRETARY (POSTS) & POSTAL BOARD FIXED ON 16-06-2015 AT 11-00 A.M. IN DELHI
AGENDA
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
Bharatiya Postal Employees Federation
Item No. 1: The Department has revised its
approved RR of Postman /MTS to the
extent that 25% quota of open market
vacancies will be provided to GDS on seniority cum- fitness basis and remaining
vacancies may be filled from open market.
We propose that the remaining
vacancies may be filled from wards of deceased seeking compassionate appointment in addition to 5% ceiling vacancies .
Item No. 2: All circles may be communicated that
nomination of BPEF representatives may
be ensured for inclusion in the Welfare
& Sports committee at all levels.
Item No. 3 : We have visited all most all circles
and found that all circle office premises have sufficient accommodation to provide it to BPEF & its affiliated unions but the same is being denied . It is
therefore, requested that instruction to all circles may be issued to provide the accommodation at
circle office premises to BPEF & its affiliated unions on demand and availability.
BPEA Association Gr. ‘C’ affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1: The Circles are denying the
entitlement of 2nd & 3rd
MACPS in contrary with clarification
at Sl. No. 1 of Department communication
No. 4-7/(MACPS)/ 2009 –PCC Dated 18-10-2010 to
employees promoted in PA cadre as 1st promotion in less than
10 years. They are allowing the
promotion for 1st & 2nd MACPS to directly recruited P.A. as clarified
there – Hence we request for decision in the following case
on the basis of above provision rejected by Orissa Circle and extension of
similar benefit to employees of all Circles.for example
The case of Shri K.K.
Kar , S.A. ‘N’ Dn. RMS Bhubaneswar Orissa circle
. DOE as Mail Man - 18-10-1983,
Date of
first promiittee in SA cadre - 22-2-1989
TBOP in SA cadre – on - 13-03-2005
The Orissa
Circle has denied his 3rd MACPS due on 22-2-2009 i.e after 20 years
from entry in S.A. cadre and instead provided 3rd MACPS in 2013 on
completion of 30 years of service contrary to the clarification at Sl. No. 1 of Department of Communication dated
18-10-2010 ( all circles communication enclosed as Annexure-I).
We also request that
the case may be ordered to get clarified in consultation with Internal Finance Wing of Department of Posts as was done
with MACPs order dated 6-9-2010 & 18-7-2011 regarding erstwhile Gr. D now
MTS and new revised general orders were issued vide No. 10-20/2008-PCC dated 4-11-2013 which benefited most of
employees and were in line with orders
of DOP&T.
Item No. 2: The Circles are denying entitlement of
2nd & 3rd MACPS to TBOP PAs switched over to Post
Master cadre before completion of 20 years of service in PA cadre. The
Postmaster Cadre has been created from LSG posts but some PA (TBOP) were
allowed to switchover in that cadre without pay fixation benefit as both were
carrying similar grade pay. As per the MACPS instructions the promotion in
Postmaster Cadre may be ignored as par para 5 of it and further MACPS may be
allowed as per clarification at Sl. No.
1 of Department communication dated 18-10-2010-Hence we request for decision in
the following case as per the MACPS orders for example.
Case of Shri Ram Singh vellshing Pardeshi PM Grade
–I ISP Nasik Road
DOE in PA cadre 14-7-82,
Date of TBOP 14-4-2008
Date of appointment in P.M. cadre 08 --09-2011 .
He has been communicated by Division that he has to await
another 10 years from P.M. Grade –I for
any further MACPS as he has changed the cadre from Postal Assistant to
Postmaster cadre .( Decision Annexed as Annexure –II ).
We also request that the case may be ordered
to get clarified in consultation with Internal Finance Wing of Department of
Posts as was done with MACPs order dated 6-9-2010 & 18-7-2011 regarding
erstwhile Gr. D now MTS and new revised general orders were issued on 4-11-2013
which benefited most of employees and were in line with orders of DOP&T.
Item No. 3 : Problem in APM Accounts cadre
As per
MOF OM No. F.6(1)-E.II(B)/68 dated 08-01-1968 : Special pay in lieu of
separate higher scale drawn in lower
post continuously for a period of three
years on the date of promotion / financial up-gradation under the Normal rules
was allowed to be treated as part of Basic pay for the purpose of pay fixation.
This principle has been forcefully clubbed while implementing judgement
in case of Mohan Kumar & others in OA No. 296/2002 dated 22-10-02 and
deptt. issued order vide F.No. 2-19/2011-PAP dated 10-1-2013 restricting the
benefits to all employees up to 22-04-98 i.e in conditions of Mohan Kumar.
The fact is that
there are others employee who have
actually drawn special pay continuously
for 3 years on the date of
promotion and their claim has been
ignored by Deptt. by issuance of respected order dated 10-1-2013.
We, demand that the general order dated
10-1-2013 may be revised and special allowance may be taken as part of pay during the
promotion without making restriction of extension of benefit upto 24-4-98 only.
BPEA Postman & MTS affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1:
Entitlement
of 2nd & 3rd MACPS to those erstwhile Gr. D now MTS
who have appeared in Postman & Mail guard as well as Postal Assistant/
Sorting Assistant promotion examination in the capacity of eligible Gr. D and
became successful in both examination but joined Postman cadre first and after few months joined in PA cadre when
result came.
On
implementation MACPS scheme from 1-9-2008 the circles are considering this
switching over from Postman cadre to PA cadre as promotion against the
recruitment rules of Postal Assistant which allows promotion from Gr. D
directly into PA cadre and not via Postman cadre. Similar ruling ignore switch
over to Gr. D Postman for MACPS purposes in r/o GDS going group ‘D’ and later
on joining Postman cadre by passing and reexamination in capacity of GDS were
issued vide No. 4-7/MACP -2009/PCC dated 23-4-11. .
We demand that
Directorate issued necessary instructions to the Circles that such switching
over from Postman post to Postal Assistant post may be ignored for the purpose
of grant of MACPS benefits.
We also request that
the case may be ordered to get clarified in consultation with Internal Finance Wing of Department of Posts as was
done with MACPs order dated 6-9-2010 & 18-7-2011 regarding erstwhile Gr. D
now MTS and new revised general orders were issued vide No. 10-20/2008-PCC
dated 4-11-2013 which benefited most of
employees and were in line with orders
of DOP&T.
Item No. 2
; The pre-revised scale of 3050-4590 of Postman
was upgraded by 6th CPC to the pre-revised pays Scale of 3200-4900 .
This entry scale came to lie at par with TBOP scale of Postman. After
implementation of MACPS 1-9-2008 the
promotions/ up-gradations in the same pay scale are being ignored for the
purpose of grant of MACPS benefits. But these Postman are not getting benefit
of this provision . We therefore request that the circles may be instructed to
ignore TBOP promotions and grant further MACPS.
We also request that
the case may be ordered to get clarified in consultation with Internal Finance
Wing of Department of Posts as was done with MACPs order dated 6-9-2010 &
18-7-2011 regarding erstwhile Gr. D now MTS and new revised general orders were
issued on 4-11-2013 which benefited most of employees and were in line with orders of DOP&T.
Item No. 3 : The grant of selection grade lift Man
cadre working in postal Building maintenance Deptt. under CPMGs. at par with
those working in Civil wing of Department of Post and Department of Telecom.
The
lift operator in Civil Wing as well as lift man in Postal Building maintenance
staff are same in all respect as
mentioned in Department communication – A-4/2010-PCC dated 2-5-2011
communicated to CPMG Maharashtra Circle. Though this communication department
accepts that though selection grade after 8 years of service in lift man cadre
is available in CPWD but the same is not mentioned in RR of Lift man working in
Department of post.
Since the Civil Wing of Department of Post
has modified its RR of Lift Man and has granted selection grade after 8 years of
service to the Lift Man working at Dak Bhawan . The case of Shri K.L. Tiwari , Lift operator working in
Dak Bhawan, New Delhi and granted
selection grade vide letter No. ED (E)PED-1/ND/DPC/762-66 dated 13-08-2013 is
being cited as example for modification of RR of lift Man of Postal Building
maintenance staff under CPMGs .
In view of above, we demand that the
same benefit may be extended to lift man of Postal Building Maintenance staff.
The case of Shri S.S. Jadhav working as lift man in Bombay GPO in Maharashtra
Circle is being cited for not getting selection grade in lift man cadre.
BPAOEA ( Postal Accounts ) affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1 : Despite clear-cut guideline of the DOP&T

2010 regarding grant of ACP in new pay structure and the manner to provide ACP

issued by DOP&T and circulated by Deptt. of Post for the employees whose pre-revised
scales of appointment and promotions
have been merged, the PA wing of the Department of Post is unable to decide the
ACP –I & ACP-II Grade pay for the erstwhile Gr. D now MTS whose ACP
benefits are due between 1-1-2006 & 1-9-2008. Similarly the ACP scales in
new pay structure regarding Stenographers working in Deptt. of Posts circulated
by Deptt. vide F.No. 4-7/(MACP)/2009-PCC dated 23-5-2011 is not being
implemented in PA wing.
We
demand immediate instructions regarding ACP-I & ACP-II grade pay of
erstwhile Gr. D now MTS and Stenographers working in Postal Accounts may be
issued.
Item No. 2: Proposal of restructuring in postal Accounts.
The restructuring proposal is r/o
merging of cadre of LDC, Sorter & Data entry operator and remaining them as

the similar benefits of the order passed in O.A. 2124 of 2011 to the applicants

necessary for implementation of this judgement have already been issued
to units by PA wing of Department of Posts and units have paid the eligible

BRMS & MMS Employees Union Class-III affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1: Revising of OTA / OSA rates:
(i)
The R .M.S. staff that travel in RMS section are granted an out station
allowance instead of the usual travelling allowances on account of period of
absence from HQ in connecting with such duties exceeding six hours. The OTA are
being granted for completion of those work which can not be suspended for even a single minutes and therefore an employee has to continuous
that work beyond duty hours.
In R.M.S. running sections and set duties if
his replacement do not turn up then same employee is asked to continue the
journey and work for next 24 or 48 hours so that transmission and delivery of
Mail do not suffer. The 6th CPC has not imposed any restriction of
OTA but our department who is running RMS section and allow complete 8 hours duty must give one day
pay in lieu of OTA.
Therefore we demand that OSA be revised and the
RMS employee may not be placed alongwith general pool employees who
occasionally work on OTA . Suitable
approach to grant complete one day work may be made.
Item No. 2 : Incentive to RMS
employees may be provided for transmission
of sorting of speed Post Article.
Item No. 3 : The RMS employees may be allowed to appear in
PSS Gr. B Exam. similarly the cadre equaled to Postmaster cadre may be created
in RMS wing of Department.

BRMS & MMS Mailguard & Gr. D affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1 : Regarding for seniority
Cum-fitness promotion from Mailguard to Sorting Assistant :
It was communicated to our union vide
37-5/2010 –SPB-I dated 23-2-2010 that during finalization of RR of Mail Guard & PA/SA the view of
our union will be taken into account on the issue of 50% SCF quota in RR of MG
and SA of RMS. Unfortunately no proposal
has been demanded from us and RR has been finalized.
Thus
we demand that our proposal to create 50% promotion quota on SCF basis in SA cadre for promotion
from Mailguard cadre may be created and
RR by modifying it .
Item No. 2: Revival of 101 Sorting offices abolished by a
policy of Department:
An
communication over Merger / Abolition of
RMS office was issued vide No. 28-19/2006-D dated 19-09-2007 to inform us that 101 sorting offices were
closed on account of agreement with recognized unions. This decision was
operationally advantageous and will lead to expedited delivery of Mail. It is
also a part of initiative to consolidated Mail offices and Rationalize Mail
Network to reduce cost of operation ,
quality of service and ensure optimal utilization of resources.
The decision has put following draw backs in RMS operations .
1.
Mail
, now at this stage, are badly delayed.
2.
The
employees have to handle many times an article than he was handling
previously.
3.
Unnecessarily
travelling of Mail between one stations to another is the out come of Hub
system .
4.
Since
Govt. has decided to scrutinize the sorting offices with help of recognized union , they have only taken care
that offices where there members of
recognized unions are posted that
offices were not abolished and were
Bharatiya union members were employed that offices were abolished.
Thus we demand that those offices which have
been abolished due to MNOP may be revived.
Item No. 3:
Utilization of Mail Vans standing in the loco set of Railways.
The Deptt. has beard the cost of constructing the Mail Vans
according to our use and
utilization to Railways Deptt.. But
the Railway slowly & slowly discontinued its instead used them as
accidental van is some place and preformed to stand then in Railways yards
without informing Deptt. of Post. How a days it is very hard to manage sections
in SLR and handicapped bogies
We demand that an order for utilization of
Mail Vans may be issued for the purpose matter may be taken up Railway
Authorities is urgent.
BPCWNGEU - affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1 : Clubbing of
communication dated 23-10-2010
issued by PE section and dated 12-8-2011
issued by PCC section of Department of Post in order to correctly fix the pay of
Wireman working as Postal building maintenance staff under CPMGs and those working
under Civil Wing.
With
regard to pay scales of Wireman working in Department of Post a communication
No. 2-12/2000-PE-I dated 23-10-2002 has been issued to clarify that Wireman in Deptt. of Post is an isolated post with entry
pay 210-270 with replacement scale in IV the CPC as 800-1150 and with
replacement scale in 5th CPC as
2650-4000 and now 1800 G.P. in . 6th
CPC. In a RTI reply Director PE has intimated that there exists a higher grade
selection grade in scale of Rs. 950- in the cadre of Wireman working as Postal
Building Maintenance staff.
In above background vide para 2 of
Comm. No. 2-13/2009-PCC dated 12-8-2011 it has been decided that pay scale granted to any wireman that is not framing
a part of hierarchy then that was to be withdrawn and fall in pay is to be granted as personal
pay to be adjusted in future increments .
Similarly the ACP –I grade pay has been granted as Rs. 4000-6000 & ACP-II granted as 4500-7000.
The communication mentioned above are not
been clubbed correctly by the Circle authorities and reductions in pay , if any
, due to grant of wrong entry pay to the Wire Man are
not being formed as personal pay to be adjusted with future increments.
Also correct ACP-I &ACP-II scale are
also not been granted which is affecting further MACPS.
At
this juncture when employee of
this dying cadre of wireman are retiring ( some of them retired also ) there is
urgent need to issue specific orders by clubbing all the communication issued by PCC and PE section of Department so that correct pay fixation in ACP &
MACP up-gradation of these employees can be reached. The order to open past and
pension cases may also be issued with instructions to revise the pensions.
Item No. 2 : The restructuring
committee formed in Civil Wing of Department of posts is with holding its
recommendations. We demand that the recommendations may be produced for
financial concurrence and for approval of Secretary post for onwards submission
to Finance Ministry.
Item No. 3. Filling of vacant post of Group ‘C’ including
MTS & Junior Engineers (Civil / Electrical ) employees.
It is to mention that he Civil Wing of
Department of Posts has acute shortage of Clerical and MTS employees. Several
Posts are lying vacant since long back and the work is being managed somehow.
Therefore this union urges upon for filling up the vacant post.
It
is to mention that more than 50% of sanctioned strength of Junior
Engineers are lying vacant. Due to shortage of Junior Engineers proper repair
and maintenance of building are not being carried out timely with proper
quality control. Due to this the image of the Department is maligning. For
example in the state of Bihar, 03 (three) civil Sub-division are functioning
with sectioned strength of 04 (four) each sub-division. Out of which only 02
(two) Junior Engineer ( C) is working . Presently { (4x3)-2} = 10 post of
Junior Engineer (C ) is lying vacant in the state of Bihar only.
We demand, filling up the vacant
post of Clerical and MTS employees & Junior
Engineer (Civil/Electrical ) by direct recruitment and by holding of
departmental examination for he post of Junior Engineer (Civil/Electrical )
under Departmental Quota.
BPAOEU (Admn.) affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1 : Opportunity to appear in PSS Gr. B
Exam.
There is no promotional opportunity for
Administrative staff PA (CO) in the present structure of Postal Deptt. It is
therefore demanded that Administrative employees along with Civil wing , SBCO
and RMS employees may be allowed to
appear in PSS Gr. ‘B’ Exam. .
Item No. 2: Regarding
Appointment on Compassionate basis in promotion quota as there is no
restriction over it.
Sir, one hand ample number of vacancies
remaining unfilled since 5 years i.e. from date the Govt. has lifted ban an
recruitment in year 2009 and on other hand the dependents of deceased employees
are awaiting their turn for compassionate appointment due to ceiling of 5%
vacancies and the merit point system for Compassionate appointment.
We
demand as one time measure , absorption of these applicants in direct as well
as promotion quota of vacancies’ appearing in M.T.S. , Postman / Mailguard ,
PA/SA , LDC and Junior Accountant posts.
Item No. 3: Review of CGHS system adopting in Lucknow
(U.P.) on adock basis:
Earlier, there was
P&T dispensary system in Lucknow for Postal & Telecom employees. In
last year CGHS system was introduced in Lucknow on experimental basis. The CGHS
dispensaries are unable to provide proper treatment of employees and therefore
allowing them to purchase medicine from
market. This scheme is better for retired employee and not for employee in
service. Therefore we demand that old system may be introduced in lucknow and
retired employees may be allowed to be become CGHS beneficiary .
Bharatiya Extra Departmental Employees Union (GDS) affiliated to BPEF
Item No. 1: Reducing compulsion of 50%
merit point for appointment on compassionate ground in GDS cadre to 30% :
Revised instruction No. 17-17/2010-GDS dated
1-8-11 were issued making
compulsory for dependent of deceased
employee for appointment on compassionate basis to attain
50% merit points to become eligible for compassionate appointment in GDS
cadre.
We
demand that if the Department intends to impose
merit point compulsion then it
should not be more than 30% .
Item No. 2 : Regularization of GDS
employees :
In
earlier days the G.D.S. were employed to serve the Deptt. on honorary
basis. These employees have alternate
source of income and compulsorily have landed property.
Now
with change in RR , the G.D.S. can get employment anywhere in India ,
thus their source of income is only the remuneration they get on employment
under GDS . Since business and financial
scheme are being lunched regularly and GDS were also included in the process of
earning and targets of business are being allotted. This involves there whole day for the service
of Department. Therefore, now the time has come
1.
To
regularize them as permanent Civil Servant under Article 309.
2.
50%
Gr. C post may be reserved for them.
3.
Relaxation
in age and marks to be obtained in examination may be made.
4.
Three
MACPS may be guaranteed to them.
Item No. 3 : The GDS may be brought
under preview of 7th CPC.
