Sub: Introduction of Postmaster Cadre in Postal Wing.

Ref: Postal Directorate No. 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22nd November, 2010

Respected Madam,

The Department has issued the above notification introducing Postmaster cadre in Postal Wing. At the outset, we wish to place on record that we are not against to the introduction of Postmaster’s cadre but seek certain clarifications in the interest of our cadre and Department. The following are the few points which require immediate kind attention of the Department

It is perceived from the said notification that posts for different categories in the hierarchy are to be carved out only from the General Line posts and as such IP Line cadre should not have any cascading effect.

1. In view of para 5(VI) & 5(VII) of said notification, it is understood that all 116 posts of Sr. Postmaster grade presently held by IP Line officials are to be filled partly from HSG-I (General Line) and partly from IP Line officials. The officials in PS Gr.”B” & Sr. Postmaster grade would be eligible for induction in IPoS, Group “A” on the basis of a consolidated eligibility list. Both these paras of the notification are in gross violation of equality provided under Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution as different parameters have been adopted for promotion to Sr. Postmaster from HSG-I which is on the basis of promotion on the one side and IP Line which is through LDCE on the other side.

2. Furthermore, the demand of other trade unions to fill up 100% posts of Sr. Postmasters and Chief Postmasters only from officials of Postmaster cadre (HSG I General Line) is baseless and hence categorically refuted.

3. This Association would like to recall that hitherto also there were two separate cadres i.e., Postmaster Group B and Postal Superintendent Group B which were merged to form composite cadre called PSS Group “B”. Due to unification of two cadres, the General Line officials were allowed to share 6% of the total posts worked out after merger. In this regard, Gazette notification was issued codifying the recruitment rules and subsequently LDCE was introduced for 25% of the vacancies out of which General Line officials still enjoying the share of 6%.

4. Apparently the new proposal is only attempt to revive old pattern viz. Postmaster Group B and Postal Superintendent Group ‘B’ as two independent cadres. This whole process of notifying the introduction of separate cadre of Postmaster has been done by the Department without consulting our Association. Resultantly, there is resentment and confusion in the Inspector, Posts cadre which is otherwise also directly or indirectly affecting the efficiency of the Department.

5. Now, since Directorate has issued notification so it would be only fit and proper if no further share from 649 posts presently held for promotion by non selection against 75% quota is allowed. However, Department may fill up 75% Sr. Postmaster posts from 165 (19% of total 866 PSS Group "B") posts presently allotted for promotion by LDCE for IPs and 25% of 52 (6% of 866) posts presently kept reserved for promotion for General Line officials. In this event, even Department will not have to call for options from IP Line officials working in PS Group "B" cadre and they can be easily adjusted and posted as Sr. Postmaster on 116 posts for which Department is also very much inclined.

6. 25% of vacancies in Senor Postmaster grade have been earmarked for HSG I (General Line) officials through promotion. Hence, recruitment rules of PS Group B cadre may be modified and provision may be made in the recruitment rules of PS Group B that 6% of total posts to be filled on the basis of same Departmental examination from General Line officials with 5 years regular service in LSG and above shall be reduced to the extent of number of posts occupied by the General Line officials in Senior Postmaster grade in Postmaster cadre.

7. In some Circles, Chief PMsG have identified posts of HSG I of IP Line for Postmaster Grade III which is in violation of the instructions contained in notification ibid. For the present 141 posts of HSG I Postmasters are earmarked for the IP Line officials which are part of promotional avenue for the Inspector, Posts. Order issued by the Department on formulation of Postmaster cadre is silent on the issue as to how these 141 posts will be retained for IP Line. The Association urges the Department to consider this issue and issue orders immediately that these 141 posts of IP Line remain in subordinate capacity in HSG I for IP Line officials.

8. It will be in the betterment of things if a meeting is arranged to discuss the issues concerning Inspector, Posts cadre. Until and unless this is done, the effects will lead to confusion resulting in resentment, frustration in the already depressed and ignored Inspector, Posts cadre.

Yours Sincerely,

(Roop Chand)
General Secretary

To

Ms. Radhika Doraiswamy
Director General

New Delhi 110001

No.CHQ/IPASP/SCPC dated 23-12-2010

Sub: Protest against the indifferent attitude of the Department towards upgradation of Grade Pay from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/- for Inspector, Posts.

Ref:- Postal Directorate No. 4-12/2009-PCC dated 22-03-2010

Respected Madam,

The Central Working Committee meeting of the Association was held at Ambaji (Gujarat) on 16th and 17th December 2010. During the meeting, the CWC registered its concern towards the inordinate delay in processing the demand of the Association for higher grade pay to IP on par with inspector cadre in other Central Government departments/ministries. While all other Departments/Ministries show positive action towards their inspectors, the DOP is alone showing a negative approach on our cadre. All Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents Posts are very much aggrieved and frustrated due to the inaction and indifferent attitude of the Department of Posts towards this cadre.

2. The department kept on telling the phrase “maintaining parity with other inspectorial cadre” whenever we demanded justified higher grade pay for IP & ASP. Now Inspectors and analogous cadres in other departments/ministries have been granted the higher grade pay of Rs 4600/- unilaterally after implementation of VI CPC. Such type of unilateral increase in pay scale was noticed in other departments/ministries in respect of their Inspectors after implementation of the past many CPCs. When we demand parity, the department in collusion with MOF is speaking entirely a different version. During discussion with DOP on this issue, we were informed that the cadre of ASP (Which is not in existence in other departments/ministries) is an impediment to implementing higher grade to IP. If that is the case, this Association is ready to go for merger of both the posts IP and ASP. The issue of merger of posts of IP and ASP with single Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- was discussed at a length during the course of General Body meeting in the All India Conference of the Association held at New Delhi on 03.04.2010 and 04.04.2010. The Association had come out with a proposal of merger of the posts IP and ASP and detailed discussions took place between the representatives of the Association and DDG (Estt.) on 05.04.2010. The department was convinced about the justified GP of Rs 4600/- on the merged post. Reminders were given to the DOP on 24-06-2010, 09-08-2010 & 07-09-2010 but no action has been taken by the Department till now and it has become the prime grievance of the Association. We also took up this issue in the agenda for periodical meeting on 27.08.2010 but DOP has not fixed date and time for holding of the same so far.

3. Association gave its proposal in writing for merger of the posts of Inspector, Posts & Assistant Superintendent, Posts and designating the merged posts as Inspector, Posts or Assistant Superintendent, Posts as may be decided by the Department but retaining the Gazetted status to the existing incumbents in Assistant Superintendent, Posts grade till their promotion / retirement..

4. If the DOP felt problem in merger of the posts IP and ASP, the CWC was agreed unanimously and came out with an alternative proposal of merger of the post ASP with PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- with effect from 01.01.2006. As both the posts are Gazetted Group B & difference of Grade Pay is only Rs.200/-. This Association urges upon the DOP to consider merger of the post of ASP with the post of PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- and in that case the senior will be holding the charge of Division/Office.

5. In case no positive action is forthcoming, the CWC of the Association after a detailed deliberations and discussions, has come out with the following proposal:

“It is unanimously resolved that the Department must meet out the above demand within one month time frame. The CWC with one voice decided that, if no decision is taken by the Department, the Association has no other option except to proceed on with a direct action (Trade Union action) after 31.01.2011. In such circumstances, the responsibility of any adverse effect on services will rest with the Department”

An early result oriented action is requested.

Yours sincerely,

(Roop Chand)
General Secretary

0 proceedings of CWC meeting held at Ambaji

CWC meeting of our IPASP Association was held at Ambaji (Gujrat) on 16-12-2010. Representatives from all circles except Kerala, Orissa, Himachal pradesh,Assam,J&K, N.E , Uttarakhand and Haryana attended the Meeting and actively participated in the discussions held. From AP circle, besides C.S and C.P, S.prasada rao ASP CO and Y.venkateswarlu ASP siddipet also attended. The details of the important issues discussed are as follows.

1. IP Grade Pay issue: GS has informed to the house that file is still pending in the Estt. branch of the Postal Directorate. Not satisfied with the averment of the GS, all members desired to know the efforts made by the association to get the file cleared. It was informed to the house that GS has personally obtained recruitment rules of Income Tax officers and will be supplied to the department to clear the objection in the file and further informed that the proposal of merger of ASP with IP cadre is not getting positive response from the Directorate because they don't want to extend the GAZETTED STATUS to IP cadre. House informed the GS that we can not remain inactive to see the indifferent attitude of the officers in directorate so we should think of some strong trade union action besides examining submission of revised proposal to Directorate on merger of ASP cadre with PSGroup-B to clear the objection of the Dept on Gazetted status. After detailed discussions, it was decided by CWC to 1) submit a fresh proposal for upgradation of GP of IP from Rs.4200 to Rs.4600.2) submit a fresh proposal for merger of ASp with PSS Gr B.On this , a memorandum was drafted in CWC meeting itself for submission to DG Post to attend our demands before 31--01-2011 otherwise association will resort to trade union action. (Copy of memorandum will be published in CHQ blog once it is handed over to DG). It was also agreed to provide full support to CAT case filed by Sh. Permanand. As the case is at advance stage, association can not be party to it now. However after final outcome of CAT case, the association will ensure that decision is implemented early. Any move of the MOF to file SLP or any other hindrance will be looked into by the association and we will move an application if required to be a party to the case. So be prepared for trade union action that can be mass casual leave followed by DHARNA, non cooperation movement, strike etc.
2. Postmaster cadre issue: As you all are aware that while implementing decision even concerning IPASP, our association is not being taken into confidence resulting in resentment in the cadre. Para 5(VI) &5(VII) of notification issued by Directorate introducing Postmaster cadre in the postal wing is gross violation of equality, article 14 and 21 of the constitution as different parameter has been adopted for promotion to Sr. Postmaster from HSG-I on the one side and IP on the other side. Thus this case is challenge-able in the court of law. The CWC decided to submit a memorandum to directorate urging that 1) there should not be any effect on the promotion of IPASP against 75% quota presently held by IP line officials and we will not allow any share from 649 posts for promotion by non-selection 2) not to identify HSG I IP line posts for postmaster grade III. After hearing the response, the association will file a case in CAT for which CS Punjab circle has already prepared some ground.
   
3. Revision of honorarium for Exam Invegilation duty : The G.S informed the house that the issue is under active consideration of the Department. The CWC decided to put pressure on Directorate to settele the issue by giving an ultimatum. If not it is decided then not to attend such duties on Sundays & Holidays.
4. Restructuring of Inspector, Posts cadre:
   
   CWC decided to take up this issue only after settlement of Grade Pay of Inspector, Posts from Rs. 4200/- to Rs. 4600/-.
   5. Regular Promotion to P.S.Group “B”:
   A list of 140 officers for regular promotion in to P.S. Group “B” cadre has been issued by the Department on 24.11.2010. CWC expressed its satisfaction over release of list by the Postal Directorate in time, due to frequent meetings with the officers in Postal Directorate by the GS.
   
   6. Allotment of surplus qualified IP candidates for the year 2009:
   
   CWC decided that above issue may be taken up with the Department.
   
   7. MACP Scheme:
   It came to notice of the CWC that MACP memo has not been issued by Chhattisgarh and M.P. Circles so far. CWC decided to take up above issues with the Department.
   
   8. Merger of IRM/ASRM Association with our Association:
   
   After detailed discussions, it was decided by the CWC that all members of IRM/ASRM Association may become our members by contacting our respective Circle Secretary in this regard. We welcome them for becoming our members as now, there is only single Association in our cadre recognized by the Department.
   
   9. Supply of Laptops for all the IPs/ASPs

0 proceedings of CWC meeting held at Ambaji

CWC meeting of our IPASP Association was held at Ambaji (Gujrat) on 16-12-2010. Representatives from all circles except Kerala, Orissa, Himachal pradesh,Assam,J&K, N.E , Uttarakhand and Haryana attended the Meeting and actively participated in the discussions held. From AP circle, besides C.S and C.P, S.prasada rao ASP CO and Y.venkateswarlu ASP siddipet also attended. The details of the important issues discussed are as follows.

1. IP Grade Pay issue: GS has informed to the house that file is still pending in the Estt. branch of the Postal Directorate. Not satisfied with the averment of the GS, all members desired to know the efforts made by the association to get the file cleared. It was informed to the house that GS has personally obtained recruitment rules of Income Tax officers and will be supplied to the department to clear the objection in the file and further informed that the proposal of merger of ASP with IP cadre is not getting positive response from the Directorate because they don't want to extend the GAZETTED STATUS to IP cadre. House informed the GS that we can not remain inactive to see the indifferent attitude of the officers in directorate so we should think of some strong trade union action besides examining submission of revised proposal to Directorate on merger of ASP cadre with PSGroup-B to clear the objection of the Dept on Gazetted status. After detailed discussions, it was decided by CWC to 1) submit a fresh proposal for upgradation of GP of IP from Rs.4200 to Rs.4600.2) submit a fresh proposal for merger of ASp with PSS Gr B.On this , a memorandum was drafted in CWC meeting itself for submission to DG Post to attend our demands before 31--01-2011 otherwise association will resort to trade union action. (Copy of memorandum will be published in CHQ blog once it is handed over to DG). It was also agreed to provide full support to CAT case filed by Sh. Permanand. As the case is at advance stage, association can not be party to it now. However after final outcome of CAT case, the association will ensure that decision is implemented early. Any move of the MOF to file SLP or any other hindrance will be looked into by the association and we will move an application if required to be a party to the case. So be prepared for trade union action that can be mass casual leave followed by DHARNA, non cooperation movement, strike etc.
2. Postmaster cadre issue: As you all are aware that while implementing decision even concerning IPASP, our association is not being taken into confidence resulting in resentment in the cadre. Para 5(VI) &5(VII) of notification issued by Directorate introducing Postmaster cadre in the postal wing is gross violation of equality, article 14 and 21 of the constitution as different parameter has been adopted for promotion to Sr. Postmaster from HSG-I on the one side and IP on the other side. Thus this case is challenge-able in the court of law. The CWC decided to submit a memorandum to directorate urging that 1) there should not be any effect on the promotion of IPASP against 75% quota presently held by IP line officials and we will not allow any share from 649 posts for promotion by non-selection 2) not to identify HSG I IP line posts for postmaster grade III. After hearing the response, the association will file a case in CAT for which CS Punjab circle has already prepared some ground.
   
3. Revision of honorarium for Exam Invegilation duty : The G.S informed the house that the issue is under active consideration of the Department. The CWC decided to put pressure on Directorate to settele the issue by giving an ultimatum. If not it is decided then not to attend such duties on Sundays & Holidays.
4. Restructuring of Inspector, Posts cadre:
   
   CWC decided to take up this issue only after settlement of Grade Pay of Inspector, Posts from Rs. 4200/- to Rs. 4600/-.
   5. Regular Promotion to P.S.Group “B”:
   A list of 140 officers for regular promotion in to P.S. Group “B” cadre has been issued by the Department on 24.11.2010. CWC expressed its satisfaction over release of list by the Postal Directorate in time, due to frequent meetings with the officers in Postal Directorate by the GS.
   
   6. Allotment of surplus qualified IP candidates for the year 2009:
   
   CWC decided that above issue may be taken up with the Department.
   
   7. MACP Scheme:
   It came to notice of the CWC that MACP memo has not been issued by Chhattisgarh and M.P. Circles so far. CWC decided to take up above issues with the Department.
   
   8. Merger of IRM/ASRM Association with our Association:
   
   After detailed discussions, it was decided by the CWC that all members of IRM/ASRM Association may become our members by contacting our respective Circle Secretary in this regard. We welcome them for becoming our members as now, there is only single Association in our cadre recognized by the Department.
   
   9. Supply of Laptops for all the IPs/ASPs
   
   It was informed by the Secretary, Posts in our All India Conference that Laptops will be supplied to all the IPs/ASPs. However, the same has been supplied only to Sub Divisional IPs/ASPs. CWC decided to take up the issue with the Department for supply of Laptops to remaining IPs/ASPs.
   
   10. Non issue of combined All India Seniority List of IPs from the year 1999:
   
   It was decided by the CWC that above issue will be taken up with the Department.
   
   Elaborate arrangements were made for the conducting CWC at Ambaji (Gujarat) by Shri M.R.Desai, Circle Secretary, Gujarat and his team. CHQ conveys its sincere thanks to them as well to all the CWC office bearers / Circle Secretaries for their co-operation during the CWC..

3 Letter addressed to CPMG on re-allotments of IP/ASP

A letter addressed to CPMG was given for non consideration of the requests of the senior IPs/ASPs for re-allotments on 13.12.2010:

To

The Chief Postmaster General

A.P. Circle

Hyderabad-500 001

Sub:- Non consideration of the requests of the senior IPs/ASPs registered by Circle office in Request Register while issuing regional allotments/reallotments to the Inspector Posts(newly selected) and Asst.Supdt Posts – reg

***

Respected Madam,

This Association would like to bring it to the notice of CPMG that whenever issuing regional allotments to the newly selected IPs/ASPs, first the requests of the senior officials working away from their home regions are being considered according to their seniority in the request register maintained at Circle office and only after issuing re-allotments to the senior officials, regional allotments to the newly selected IPs/ASPs are being issued. This practice and procedure is being followed without any deviation since so many years in AP circle and even the Directorate is issuing circle allotments to newly selected PS Group-B officers only after re-allotting the senior officers to their home circles on consideration of their requests.

But this practise of consulting the request register and considering the requests of senior officials was not observed in recent allotments / reallotments in IP/ASP cadre issued by Circle office. A few instances are mentioned herewith for information of CPMG.

Inspector Posts cadre :-

Vide CO memo.no.ST/2-1/2010 dtd 3.12.2010, allotments to the 12 IP candidates of 2009 batch have been issued and all the candidates allotted to their home regions where as many requests(registered by Circle office and seniority communicated) of senior IPs of 2008 batch and previous batches for Hyderabad City and Vijayawada regions are pending.Three newly selected IP candidates were allotted to Hyderabad City Region and four IP candidates to Vijayawada Region ignoring the requests of the following senior IPs vide Co memo cited above.

1.H.Sarat Kumar From APNR region to Hyderabad city region.

2. Sesha pavan APNR region to Hyderabad city region.

3.Srikanth APNR region to Hyderabad city region

4.Srinivas Naik APNR region to Hyderabad city region

5.B.Ravi Kishore IP Cumbum APSR region to AP Eastern region.

6.G.B.V.N. Prasada Rao, IP Narasannapet AP Northern region to AP North eastern region.

Asst.Supdt Posts cadre:-

1. Sri Md. Asif, ASP(Hqrs), Nandyal in AP Southern region and Sri K. Ramesh Babu, ASP, Kazipet RMS in AP northern region have made requests for reallotment to their home region i.e AP Eastern region and their requests were registered by Circle office at serial number 1 & 2. But ignorning their more than 2 years old requests, Sri M.N. Raju was allotted to Vijayawada Region.

2. 2. Like that, for Hyderabad City Region, the request of Sri A. Mallaiah, ASP, Sangareddy is at serial no.1 in the request register. But his seniority was ignored and allotted junior most who got ASP promotion recently.

Earlier strictly basing on request register seniority only, the requests of the officials for re-allotments were considered which procedure reflects transparency and natural justice in transfers and postings. Madam is well aware that the staff working in all cadres are accepting promotions and joining in the promotional posts far away from their place of choices, in many cases leaving their family and parents behind at their own places, with a hope that they will get reallotment to their place of choice according to their seniority and IP/ASP cadre is no exception to that. But this time, the hopes of those senior IPs/ASPs eagerly waiting for reallotment to their home regions were shattered. In such a case, there is no meaning in maintenance of Request register at C.O and registration of the requests and communication of their seniority to the officials. This type of acts of the Administration are not only causing frustration among the seniors but also demoralising the entire IP/ASP cadre.

Therefore, this Association is requesting kind CPMG to look into this aspect on priority basis, do justice to the senior officials by considering their requests according to their seniority in Request register and cause issue of necessary orders.

A line of reply is requested.

Thanking you Madam,

Yours faithfully,

(S.SHABBIR)

Circle Secretary
