[B.P.SHARMA, GENERAL SECRETARY]
RESOLUTIONS PASSED IN ALL INDIA CONFERENCE HELD AT KHATU
SHYAM, JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN CIRCLE FROM DATE 02.04.2019 TO 03.04.2019
1.TIME FACTOR FOR CBS SBCO WORK: After implementation of CBS in the year of 2014, the
Department has not finalized the Time Factor for CBS work of SBCO cadre.
Our Union submitted proposal for time factor vides Letter CHQ Lr.No: AISBCEU/ EVALUATION OF TIME
FACTOR OF SBCO CBS WORK/82-2018 Dt. at Jaipur-302015 the 14.07.2018.
After the issuing order for Time Factor only, the actual work load of
SBCO branches could be ascertained. Due to this long delay more than five years
in finalizing the Time factor, whether the Department will take responsibility
for any lapses during voucher checking due to acute shortage of staff in all
SBCOs?
After CBS implementation, the SOSB
branch is wind up and the total responsibility is put with SBCO branch. Now,
the CSI-SAP is rolled out in all offices and the work load is increased in all
the SBCO branches, at the same time the staff position is come down less than
50% in all SBCO branches. The Directorate orders to provide PA assistance from
general line has not been followed by the Divisional Heads. Hence early action
is requested to finalize the Time factor for CBS work in SBCO branches and the
time limit to finalize it and also necessary instruction may please be issued
to all Divisional Heads not to take any disciplinary action in case of lapses
during voucher checking due to acute shortage of staff or non provision of PA
assistance.
2.PROVISION OF
SUFFICIENT STAFF BEFORE IMPOSING PENALTY WITH SBCO STAFF IN CASE OF FRAUDS:
It is a fact that there is acute shortage of staff
in all SBCO sections in all the Circles. Some SBCO sections are running in
single or in double hand. After implementation of CBS, it is clearly specified
to redeploy the SOSB branch staff to SBCO branches to manage the increasing
work load. But, the Directorate order is not carried out and also no action has
been taken to fill up the existing vacant posts and retirement vacancies. Now,
the responsibility is put up with Divisional Heads to watch the voucher
checking work in current position. As such, the Divisional Head is full responsible
to provide sufficient staff to SBCO branch to keep the voucher checking work
without any pending. If so, it is the responsibility of Divisional Head to
provide sufficient man power to SBCO branch.
If not
provided, it is nature to happen some lapses during the voucher checking, since
the entire branch work could not be carried out by the SBCO branch with
available one or two PAs. In case of any frauds, the responsibility is put up
with SBCO staff with penalty recovery. The Fs Division issued repeated orders
to provide PA assistance to SBCO branch and replace old systems with new one. Hence,
our Union insists the administration to take action against the Divisional
Heads for not carried out the Directorate orders and providing sufficient staff
to SBCO. Instead of making recovery from the SBCO staff, it is kindly requested
to make recovery from the Divisional Heads for not providing sufficient staff
to SBCO branch, then only the Divisional Heads will take action to carry out
the Directorate orders and provide staff assistance to SBCO branch. All
the recovery cases are to be reviewed that whether it is the responsibility of
SBCO staff or non provision of assistant by the Divisional Head and necessary
action has to be taken to refund the recovery in the genuine cases of non
provision of staff to SBCO branch.
3.NON
OBSERVANCE OF RULE 106 AND 107 OF P & T MANUAL VOLUME III AND DIRECTORATE
LETTER NO: C- 32016/07/2006-VP
DATED 14.11.2006 WHILE IMPOSING PENALTY OF RECOVERY ON SBCO STAFF:
SBCO staff is doing post audit work. Therefore SBCO
staff, by identifying them as subsidiary offender for the SB frauds is
injustice and they will not be held responsible for amount defrauded by counter
staff or SAS/MPKBY agent and no recovery should be made from SBCO staff, if the
administration will take action to provide assistance, the frauds may be
avoided after proper checking. It
is therefore requested to instruct all the Circle Heads/ Divisional Heads to
observe the provisions of Rule 106 and 107 of P & T Manual Volume III and
your office letter No. C-32016/07/2006-VP dated
14.11.2006 and not to hold the SBCO staff responsible for the work which they
have not attended due to shortage of staff.
4.DELEGATION
OF POWER - WRITING OF APAR/Disciplinary Powers OF SBCO STAFF TO AO ICO (SB).
The SBCO staff is doing
auditing and accounting work of Postal Savings Bank. As the said staffs are
working under Sr. Postmaster, Superintendent / Sr. Superintendent of Post
Offices they cannot raise the objections and point out irregularities freely.
Therefore the very purpose of auditing and checking is defeated. This union
therefore requests the Administration to delegate the APAR writing power to AO
ICO (SB) by restoring the Dte.orders D.G. Posts letter No. 1-2/88-SB dated 17-10-1990 .Then only, the SBCO staff
can discharge their auditing duties effectively, otherwise the auditing work
will be paralyzed.
5.CADRE
RESTRUCTURE: Cadre
restructuring of SBCO cadre should be considered on priority basis, since it is
being delayed more than four years from the order issued for Group ‘C’ cadre.
The designation of SBCO staff should have been changed as Auditor, since their
nature of work is auditing the Savings Bank transactions only.The present
position of this matter may please be informed to Union.
6.DEMAND FOR AUDITOR
STATUS (ORGANIZED ACCOUNT CADRE) & CONTINUE COURT CASE IN THIS REGARD: Since it was denied by
the 7th Pay commission, this case was filed at Calcutta under
O.A.No: 350/00145/2017 ordered the Department of Post to submit its reply before
25.04.2017 and the case heard on 25.04.2017, It is ordered by the CAT that Ch.PMG ,WB Circle has been added
through a MAP as one of the Responded s along with the
Secretary, Finance & Secretary DOP. This case hearing is being delayed at
Culcatta court and Let us be hope for
early hearing and winning in favor with legal assistance of Sri.A.N.Paul ,
Circle Secretary and his team.
7.ONE TIME MEASURE
PROMOTION OF HSG II AND HSG I : All vacant supervisory posts of
HSG-II and HSG-I should be filled on seniority basis from LSG (SBCO)
cadre as most of the HSG-II and HSG-I (SBCO) branches are functioning under the
control of junior most PA officials. It is against the ruling prescribed for
Supervisors responsibility. Hence, it is requested to issue one time order to
fill up all the HSG-II and HSG-I vacant supervisor posts from the LSG officials
as per seniority and the resultant LSG posts may be filled up from the PAs on
the basis of seniority of gradation list.
8.SUBMISSION OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION TO POSTAL ACCOUNTS OFFICE: In some circles the SBCO branch is directed to send the
both statistical and financial information to PAO. After CBS, financial
information will not come in to picture since all the SB accounts under CBS
were centralized. In case, the PAO wants to get the Circle information, it
could be generated through Finacle by using Circle ID & HFINRPT menu.
Hence, it is kindly requested to issue instruction to all Circle Postal
Accounts to not insist the financial information from SBCOs as per point no 5.8
of Addendum-ii Dated 04-08-2016 of SB Order no 14/2015.
9.GROUP ‘D’
ASSISTANCE TO ALL SBCO BRANCHES: In SBCO branch, all the vouchers are to be kept in safe custody
and the same has to be presented to the investigation officers in case of frauds.
Hence, it is necessary to provide one Group “D” or ‘GDS’ official to all SBCO
branches for maintaining the vouchers.
10.PROVISION OF RECORD ROOM: In the revised SBCO procedure after CBS, the preservation
of records/vouchers period must be reduced for which no accommodation is
provided by the Divisional Head to keep the records/vouchers. And also, it is
kindly requested to instruct all the Heads Circles to ensure the record room
provision for all SBCOs. Otherwise, in case of any missing records vouchers,
the SBCO staff will not held be responsible. As per SB order No: 13/2018, it is
clearly stated that Supervisor SBCO_will keep the records duly arranged in the steel
almirahs provided for the purpose under lock and key. Hence, the SBCO staff
will be responsible for the records kept under lock & key only and not
responsible for the records kept in open place.
11.POWERS TO SUPERVISOR, SBCO TO TAKE UP
THE ISSUE OF STAFF MATTER WITH DIVISIONAL HEAD: Since the
Postmaster are not favour to provide the sufficient staff strength, the
Supervisors could not brought this matter to Divisional Head directly. The
Supervisors have to be permitted to bring the staff matter dealing directly to
the Divisional Head to avoid arrears of voucher checking.
12.ABNORMAL DELAY [2 years]
PROCESS IN FINALIZING THE TBOP/BCR REVISION - Financial
up-gradation under TBOP/BCR Schemes of
SBCO staff on par with juniors as per the revision of guidelines issued by the
Directorate vide letter Dte.Lr.No:
22-06/2000 –PE-I [Pt] Dt: 08.05.17 & Member [P] reminder Dt: 21.01.2018 –
This revision order has not been issued in most of the Circles despite the
reminder issued by Member [P] with instructions that “Withdrawal of the
above mentioned order [Dt.17.05.2000] was in pursuance of the Supreme Court
order, therefore, it is imperative that the same is implemented at the earliest
to avoid the aggrieved employees re-approaching the court”. It is also
requested to furnish the compliance report to the Directorate at the earliest.
If it is a recovery issue, by this time the recovery process will be completed
within a month. But, since it is a beneficiary issue, it is being delayed more
than 24 months to issue TBOP/BCR revision order to SBCO Staff. Any more
delay will cause the administration to pay the arrears with penal interest.
Necessary instructions may please be issued to all Circles to issue orders
within a month.
13.SETTLEMENT
OF OBJECTIONS: As per the Directorate order SB
Order No.14/2015 dated at ND-1 the 19.10.2015 para 5.3.1. Any irregularity
noticed will be entered in clear and concise words in the Register and copy of
objection should be sent to Postmaster of HPO supported by printed copy of
LOT/Finacle screen. Regarding Objection settlement, it is clearly
directed the SBCO staff that this branch has to maintain OM Registers and copy
of the OM has to be send to the Postmaster and in case of pending more than 30
days, it should be brought to the notice of Divisional Head. But, instead of
the above instructions, the SBCO officials are directed by the Divisional Heads
to visit sub-office to settle the OMs and the entire settlement work
responsibility is put with SBCO staff. I.e. the SBCO branch has to audit the SB work by raising objections for
irregularities and the same SBCO audit staff has to take action to settle the
OMs. It is against the concept of audit wing. This OM settlement work should be
done by SB branch staff only.
14.VERIFICATION

AND SINGLE HANDED SUB OFFICES POSB VOL PART-I RULE: 85:- As and when any

15.TENURE TRANSFER OF SBCO
OFFICIALS: As per Directorate letter No.
141-141/2013-SPB-II dated 17.01 .2019 – para
5. Rotational Transfers - Rotational transfer of employees shall be
regulated as under - (i) Post tenure of
an employee shall be 3 years and station tenure shall be 6 years. Since the
SBCO officials are not handling any financial operations, their tenure may be
considered as four years instead of three years for tenure transfers.
16.MOVEMENT OF SBCO
OFFICIALS TO OUTSIDE THE CLUSTER DURING ROTATIONAL TRANSFER: As per Directorate letter No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II
dated 17.01 .2019 – para 5. Rotational Transfers - (xiii) Rotational Transfer
of officials working in Saving Bank Control Organization shall be made within
the cluster of Divisions. However, in exceptional circumstances, DPS (Hqs.) in consultation
with Accounts Officer ICO (SB) may consider movement of SBCO officials outside
the cluster.
As
per this order, the Regional Head [PMG] could not issue orders to sSBCO staff
from one cluster to another cluster which are the clusters with in the Same
Region and he should get prior permission from DPS (Hqs.) Sending cluster change approval is making
delay in issuing RT and also a superior officer should not be directed to get
permission from his subordinate officer [DPS]. It is suggested to issue modifications
as given below to avoid delay in issuing RT orders:-
a. While the cluster change is
within same Region, the prior approval
from DPS (Hqs.) is not necessary.
b. If the cluster change is
from Region to Region, the prior approval from DPS (Hqs.) is necessary.
