Sub: Working procedure to be observed by SBCO staff after migration of data to
CBS
Finacle software
Sir,
This is regarding control measures to be observed by SBCO staff in CBS offices.
Now some of the offices are migrated to CBS Finacle software and remaining
offices are being migrated in phased manner. But the Directorate has not
circulated the control procedure to be observed by SBCO staff. In some Circles
the SBCO staff is being ordered to check cent percent vouchers with data available
in system. But in available man power checking of cent percent data by SBCO
staff is not possible. In Central Working Committee meeting of this union held
at Barabazar (Kolkata) the CWC members have passed resolution and suggested
percentage checking of vouchers with data available in system.
The CWC meeting has suggested below mentioned percentage checking of vouchers
with data available in computer.
1. SB- All paid
vouchers above 10000 and all closed account vouchers and 2 %
deposit
transactions.
2. RD- All closed
account vouchers, all half withdrawal vouchers and 2 % deposit vouchers and
MPKBY list transaction.
3. MIS & SCSS
- All closed account vouchers and new accounts vouchers.
4. TD- All closed
account vouchers and new accounts vouchers.
5. NSS 87 &
NSS 92 – All closed accounts vouchers and 10 % withdrawal vouchers.
6. PPF- All
closed accounts vouchers and 2 % deposit transactions.
It is therefore requested to consider the views of the union and circulate the
procedure of checking by SBCO staff as early as possible.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

The Secretary
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg
New Delhi -110001
Sub: Memorandum on resolutions
passed in the CWC meeting held on 02 & 03.03.2014 at Kolcutta
Respected Madam,
In the CWC meeting held at Kolcutta from 02.03.2014 to 03.03.2014, the
following resolutions are passed in the CWC meeting. This is for your kind
information to settle all the genuine problems as early as possible.
In the
meantime, our Union kindly request your office to arrange a periodical meeting
to explain our genuine grievances in detail to reach a favorable solution in
both side with staff and
administration.
Resolution No. 01: Irregular
Recovery/Contributory negligence against SBCO staff
SBCO staff is doing post audit work. Therefore SBCO staff should not be held
responsible for amount defrauded by counter staff or SAS/MPKBY agents and no
recovery should be made from SBCO staff. The audit staff working in DAP are
exempted from the liability of contributory negligence cases. Hence, the same
principle has to be followed with SBCO staff, since their work actually
started after accounting of the transactions. Hence, contributory negligence
and recovery should not be imposed upon them.
Resolution No. 02: Restoration
of Administrative powers to AO ICO
As the SBCO staff is working under SSPOs/Postmasters they are forced not to
raise objections or forced to admit genuine objections. Since the writing of
APAR is under the control of Divisional Heads, the SBCO staff could not render
their auditing services properly to the Department and also fulfill the
intention i.e. formation of SBCO branch for auditing Savings Bank functions.
Therefore administrative control i. e. writing of APAR of SBCO staff should be
transferred to AO ICO (SB) as earlier who is having knowledge about the staff
and their capabilities. Otherwise, the purpose of auditing work will be held up.
Resolution No. 03: Filling up
of Vacant Posts
All vacant post of PA (SBCO) should be filled immediately. Since the
administration has given full pressure with SBCO staff in connection with
CBS work, it could not be possible to manage the entire work with the available
poor staff strength. Hence, until further recruitment, either General line PAs
or utilizing outsource has to be provided to manage the vacant seats work.
Resolution No. 04: Norm based
LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I posts and MACP promotions
DPCs for MACP and norm based promotions should be held immediately and all
vacant supervisory posts should be filled without further delay. As per the
latest Directorate order, the benchmark is not necessary for the MACP
promotions on non-selection basis as given below.
“It is now further
clarified that wherever promotions are given on non-selection basis (i.e. on
seniority — cum — fitness basis), the prescribed benchmark as mentioned
in para 17 of Annexure — I of MACP Scheme dated 19.05.2009 shall not apply for
the purpose of grant of financial up gradation under MACP Scheme.”
The above Directorate
clarification has to be strictly adhered to avoid delay in the MACP promotion
cases. Necessary instructions has to be issued to all Circles to complete all pending
MACP promotion cases with a cut of date.
Resolution No. 05: Utilization
of SBCO staff for SB branch work
SBCO staff should not be deputed to SOs for settlement of objections and minus
balance cases, since they are not authorized to visit the sub offices and no
additional staff is provided for the visit in addition to their daily routine
work.
Resolution No. 06: Time factor
Since the data feeding work is a additional work to SBCO staff and also the
same has not been prescribed in the Control procedure, Time factor for computer
work should be fixed and justified staff as per revised time factor
should be posted in SBCO sections.
Resolution No. 07: Cadre
Restructure
Cadre restructuring of SBCO cadre
should be taken on priority. Our Union had already taken up this matter with
administration vide Lr.No: CHQ/AISBCEU/2014/01 Dt. 01.01.2014. The
following suggestions are recommended to change in the SBCO setup
1.
In all the Regions, the SBCO staff has to be brought under the control
of Group Officer in the cadre of CAO/Senior AO who is under the direct control
of Director, Postal Accounts. Then only, the SBCO staff could discharge their
auditing work properly.
2.
Since the SBCO staff is performing purely auditing work, the SBCO cadre
must be treated as Organized Accounts cadre likewise DAP staff, since the SBCO
branch was bifurcated from Postal Accounts in the year of 1964.
3.
In the present CBS function, our role is designed as ‘Auditor”.
4.
The designation of SBCO staff has to be changed as given below according
to their nature of work.

(MACP III) grade pay.
Resolution No. 10: Transfer of
SBCO staff
Even though, the Directorate had
issued orders to transfer the SBCO staff with in the cluster, it is not
followed properly in many Circles. On completion of post tenure, the officials
are transferred to far off places in many circles. Hence, the privilege of
transfer limited within division or nearer HOS only to avoid hardship of SBCO
staff in maintaining their families and children studies.
Resolution No. 11:
Permission for appearing for Gr. 'B' Cadre Examination
Postal
Assistants, SBCO are permitted for appearing for Inspector (Posts) , but they
are not permitted to appear Group ‘B’ examination. Hence, the SBCO
officials with eligible service may be allowed to appear for Group 'B' cadre
