AISBCEU(BENGAL) Wishes ALL MEMBERS a very Happy KaliPuja.







To,
All CHQ Office Bearers, Circle Secretaries and Members,
Dear Comrades,
                I am very happy to meet you all through this bulletin with DEEPAVALI Greetings. On the auspicious day of DEEPAVALI, I wish you very happiness and the fulfillment of all dreams of you and your family members.
            Our Union has taken action with Directorate from 2013 onwards about the Roll of SBCO after CBS implementation and one more reminder was issued in the month of October-2015 to issue orders in earlier. After our intervention, Group of meeting of SBCO officials was arranged in Chennai in the m/o April-2015 and some decisions had been taken. Now, the CBS roll of SBCO order is released vide SB Order No.14/2015  dated  at  ND-1  the  19.10.2015 [See the details of the order in our Union Website] with some changes in the earlier group of meeting of SBCO officials. Hence, our union objected some issues regarding LOTs and preparation of consolidation; it should be changed as decision taken in the group of meeting. The detail of the letter and suggestions made by our Union is given with this bulletin.
            Myself and our President Sri.R.K.Tandon have been planned to visit Directorate and discuss with Secretary[P], DDG [FS] and Dirctor [CBS] about the suggestions given by our Union shortly in the third week of November-2015. During our visit, our Union will discuss all other staff grievances including cadre restructure, Organizing accounts cadre pay scales and transfers within the group instead of with in Divisions.
            The Union monthly subscription is going to be started for recovery from the monthly salary from this month onwards. All the members/Circle Secretaries are requested to watch the recovery whether it is being recovered for our Union or not. In case of any false recovery of Union, this may please be brought to the notice of the Head Post master and Circle Secretary for immediate action.
            All the Circle Secretaries are requested to send the total members of each Region of their Circle to CHQ for comparing it with the figures of the Directorate. Then only, we can be alert to avoid false arrival of figures about our Union membership.

No. AISBCEU/Bulletin-3/2015-17                                 Dated at Kolkata the 3rd. Nov’2015

 Dear  Comrades,
                         Beware of “Bibhisan”   being  the product of our lifetime enemy who has been trying for about  fifty years to merge the SB and SBCO Branches of HPOs. Their foolishness  has deserted the SOSB Branch and ultimately going to assist the SBCO Branch in their Audit function vide SB order NO. 14 /2015 Dated 19.10.2015(enclosed).
(i) You should keep safe distance from the  representative of nonrecognized  “AIPSBCOE  Association” with the following reasons:
1.   It’s recognition had been withdrawn  vide D.G . posts letter No. 16/75/2010-SR Dt. 29.06.2011 (copy enclosed)  with the membership figure  12.09%  .
2.   They had tried to be recognized in 2010 by stealing our membership figure in many Postal Circles which were reviewed & rectified with the High court intervention.
3.   It was formed in 2010  by some interested persons  who have been trying  to wind out the SBCO for about fifty years.
4.   One  person of them have been misguiding  the new comers  with flying news even on 14.10.2015 and 29.10.2015  scheduled for document verification at Yogayog Bhawan.
5.   Five days week  had been discontinued  with the objection of their representatives.
6.   Their foolishness  in performing huge MIS works on incentive basis without any  regular staff arrangement .
7.   The extra workload  on MIS voucher checking ,agreement work has  pushed  the SBCO  before  a fire station .

    (ii)      You should sign the letter of authorisation  and send the same to the undersigned with the following reasons:
1.    “ ALL INDIA SAVINGS BANK CONTROL EMPLOYEES UNION” is the only recognized Union since  formation of SBCO in HPOs all over the country  in 1962.
2.   AISBCE Union  enjoys the support of 75.39% member vide  D.G.posts letter No.13/01/2010-SR Dt. 29.06.2011 .
3.   Our Union    observed  two days all India strike on 12.02.14 & 13.02.2014 with a demand for  Jr.Auditor, Sr.Auditor & Audit officer status to SBCO staff  since we had originally been under P&T audit. Resultantly  D.G. Posts issues order NO. 14 /2015  Dated 19.10.2015 regarding role of SBCO in CBS which provides  voucher checking work(Audit function) by PA(SBCO).
4.      DOP has been compelled to allow our transfer/Posting within group of HOs instead of circle transfer under prolonged persuasion of our Union.
                                                                                 
(iii)Audit status to SBCO under DOP:
1.   The members of our Union observed all India SBCO strike on 12.02.2014 and 13.02.2014 on the demand .
2.   We filed petition before the CAT, Kolkata vide NO.793 of 2006 , Being the applicant ALL INDIA SAVINGS BANK CONTROL EMPLOYEES UNION  Vs. Respondent Secretary Posts  and others .  Our demand “Audit status to SBCO under DOP”  was heard on 28.11.2007 . Shri S. Talukder the then High court Lawyer and now one of the judges of Calcutta High court pleaded in favour of us .CAT ordered on 11.01.2008 to examine the issue by the Respondent. Resultantly D.G. Posts issues order NO. 14 /2015  Dated 19.10.2015 (enclosed)regarding role of SBCO in CBS which provides  voucher checking work(Audit function) by PA(SBCO). Previously there had been a space on the voucher marked “ Auditor”  where the SBCO staff  put his/her signature as auditor after the voucher checked . Now we have to carry out the same function of Audit. There is  no difference between the two.
3.     Now we expect the  financial status with higher grade pay which  is likely to be awarded by the DOPT/DOP in near future.

CHQ Lr.No: AISBCEU/7th CPC meeting at Mumbai/11A-2014 Dated at Lucknow - 226003   the 05.11.2014
To,
The Chairman,
7th CPC
Camp at Mumbai.
Respected Sir,
Sub : Request to offer Organized Accounts Cadre to SBCO staff of  Department of Posts.
        Ref: 1. CHQ Lr.No: AISBCEU/7th CPC Memorandum/11-2014 Dated at Lucknow- 226003   the 29.05.2014
                 2. MOF Department of Expenditure [E-III B Branch Lr.No: 6/82/E.III [B]/91 [E.III-B  Branch] New                       Delhi, the 28th Feb 2003 that
    First of all I , on behalf of our Union thank the 7th CPC for giving its valuable time to our union to put up our grievances before it. My introduction is that I am President of All India Savings Bank Control Employees Union, CHQ at Lucknow as well as Circle Secretary of All India Savings Bank Control Employees Union, Maharashtra Circle Branch, Head Quarter at Mumbai.
This union is representing more than 85 % staffs of the SBCO cadre in Department of Posts. The total number of staff in SBCO cadre is approximately 3500 in all over the 900 Head Post Offices in India. One SBCO branch is established with minimum staff strength of 2 to 7 officials to audit   the daily Savings bank transactions of Head Offices and Sub Offices. But this branch has not been given status of Organized Accounts cadre as referred in the above reference under Sl.2 above letter Dt:28.02.2003 issued by the  MOF - Department of Expenditure.
Our Union made a representation to the Secretary [P] to implement the revised pay scales recommended to the organized accounts cadre by the Ministry of Finance  with the comparative statement of SBCO cadre and Postal Accounts cadre pay scales is given below to your kind information. Our demand is rejected by the Department vide DG[P] Lr.No:1-25/2003 Dt.13.06.2005 that as the recruitment rules, pay scales, promotional avenues of SBCO staff differ from the Postal accounts cadre, SBCO staff have no relation with the accounts cadre of the Department of Post.
Before merging our cadre of LDC/UDC in the year of 1991 as Postal Assistant [SBCO] placed in the scale of Rs.4000-100-6000 equivalent to UDC scale., the basic qualification for UDC post is Degree and at the time of merger more than 70% of staff were working in UDC cadre and the remaining LDCs who were in seniors due for  UDC promotion. The merger was done in the interest of service for implementation of MACP/TBOP. Hence, the reply given by the Department was not a genuine consideration.
As stated in the memorandum submitted by this union on date 29.05.2014 this union had requested Hon,ble CAT Kolkatta Bench under O. A. No. 793 of 2006 to declare our cadre as Organized Accounts Cadre. The Hon,ble CAT at Kolkatta delivered its judgment on date 15.01.2008 and directed to approach to Honourable 6th  CPC as it was the right body to decide this case. As such our union approached to 6th CPC vides our union letter No. CHQ/SBCO/Postal/153/2008 dated 22.02.2008. Since the judgment was delivered after finalization of 6th CPC report, our views were remained unheard.
In this connection we have submitted our detailed memorandum to Honourable 7th Cental Pay Commission on date 29.05.2014. The work of auditing and accounting of Post Office Savings Bank transaction was previously done by Postal Accounts Office i. e. Director of Postal Accounts.  In the year 1965 this work has been decentralized to Head Post Office level and SBCO i. e. Savings Bank Control Organisation has been formed in each Head Post Office.
Even though, our cadre is declared as identity cadre for auditing the Savings Bank transactions, the staff of this section is under the administrative control of Postmaster and Sr. Supdt. / Supdt. of Post Offices instead of auditing officers of Director/Chief Accounts Officer [Accounts].
As per present status, Sr. Postmaster/Postmaster  or Sr. Supdt. Supdt. of Post Offices is the head of Postal Savings Bank. The SBCO staff is auditing the savings bank work which is being done under control of Sr. Postmaster or Sr. Supdt. / Supdt. of Post Offices. In this case the SBCO staff could not perform their auditing duties effectively as they are working under the administrative control of Head of the Savings Bank i. e  Postmaster or Sr. Supdt. / Supdt. of Post Offices.  In other words we are auditing /checking the work of our boss.  .  In this present situation, lot of pressure/torture/threatening is given by the administrative officers of Sr. Postmaster or Sr. Supdt. / Supdt. of Post Offices  on our staff not to raise objections/point out the mistakes to show our good picture of the Division /Office. This hampers the very purpose of checking and auditing. It is therefore necessary from audit point of view that the staff of SBCO should not be under administrative control of Head Postmaster or Sr. Supdt. / Supdt. of Post Offices.
    Hence, now our Union takes up this matter with Seventh Central Pay Commission to consider of demand in favour in view of the following reasons.
1.     Before bifurcation our cadre from Director of Postal Accounts in 1965, which work was attended by the audit office staff regarding the Savings Bank Transactions, the same is being continued in SBCO branch under the control of Accounts Officer placed in Internal check Organization called as ICO in each PMGs office. Here, the Accounts officer is the Postal Accounts cadre staff. If we are not doing the auditing work, what is the necessity to appoint an accounts Officer to supervise our auditing work.
2.   In the SB-7 voucher [Withdrawal Form] , a separate square box is printed as Auditor to place our signature to ensure the auditing voucher.
3.   In our cadre name, it is called as SAVINGS BANK CONTROL ORGANIZATION [SBCO] , if we are not organized cadre, there is no need to specify the name  as Control Organization.
4.   In the recent our Department CBS implementation, our role is defined as Auditor for controlling the daily Savings Bank Transactions.
5.      In the Departmental of Expenditure memorandum Dt:25.02.2003, there is no specific condition was given for not applicable to postal wing, instead it is clearly mentioned that it may be extended to the corresponding categories in all the organized Accounts cadre.
6.      Hence, the revised scale recommended by MOF for organized account cadre may please be recommended to SBCO cadre w.e.f 1.1.1996 for re-fixation and the pay benefit from 19.02.2003 like other auditing staff.
7.   Our cadre must be declared as Organized Accounts cadre w.e.f  retrospective from 28.02.2003 and the SBCO may be brought under direct control of DAP through CAO (SB) and re designated as Auditor, Sr. Auditor, Chief Auditor and Jr.Audit Officer and Audit officer ( PA, MACP - I, II, III respectively) as given in our memorandum.
Unless, the SBCO staff is brought under the control of auditing officers of Director/Chief Accounts Officer [Accounts]  other than Postmasters and Divisional Heads,  then only they can discharge their audit duties without fear. In present setup Postmasters and Divisional Heads are the disciplinary authorities of the SBCO staff.    
    This union therefore requests your kind honour to consider our views and declare SBCO cadre as Organised Accounts cadre in the public interest to render our auditing service properly.   
    Thanking you, Sir.   
                                                                                                    Yours faithfully,   
Encl: As referred above                                                   P. A. Mhatre. CHQ President)

(V)Membership verification : One copy of authorization form  is enclosed  . All the new comers  will sign (at two places)the  form  leaving  other part of the form  blank for  filling up by the Circle Secretary.  The signed copy will be sent to the secretary for further disposal .
All the members are requested to ensure that the newly  recruited 40 PAs (SBCO)are convinced in favour of us immediate after joining at SBCO. Some agent of unauthorized Association will try to misguide them.  The recognition of All India Postal SBCO Employees Association(12% member) had been withdrawn vide D.G. Posts letter No. 16-75 /2010-SR Dated 29.06.2011 (copy attached). Thereafter the Association has  stolen our 47  membership figure in respect of Jharkhand Circle and arrived the percentage 16% . It was brought to the notice of D.G.  Posts by our General Secretary . Accordingly  the recognition of  AIPSBCOE Association with 12% membership  is going to be withdrawn  vide  D.G. Posts letter No. 16-75 / 2010 - SR Dated 31.01.2015(copy attached).
So, you are requested to be alerted from such a  Association . Some interested persons  have been trying to divide our union being the only recognized union for SBCO category.  The Association was formed in 2010 not for betterment of the SBCO but to fulfill  some political agenda .Some founder members of the Association have been trying to wind up the SBCO for their political interest . Even they proposed before the  secretary(P) for merger of SB & SBCO Branches. Even their Circle Secretary & some other office bearers who had been belong to some union of non SBCO category. They have appeared before us wearing a mask to fulfill their old dream .They are not well wisher of SBCO  and will never be a friend of SBCO. The SBCO staff are very aware of their anti SBCO activities. Accordingly the  SBCO staff has rightly refused such masker & got only 12% membership. The new comers are being misguided and cheated by those unauthorized person who have no link with SBCO. Our duty will be to protect the new comers from such non SBCO people.It is again requested to ensure 100% membership in favour of “ALL INDIA SAVINGS BANK CONTROL EMPLOEES UNION and weeded out the ‘AIPSBCOE Association’ with not a single new member  to protest against their anti workers activities.  
Let the new comers, who are going to the members of SBCO family in this month, be believed that “you should come under the only recognized AISBCE Union with more than 85% member, beware of the Association having 12% member”.
