Respected Sir,

                     Your  kind attention is invited to the fact that  twenty three  outsider candidates  have been selected for  provisional appointment as PA(SBCO)  under West Bengal Circle  against the vacancies of 2011 & 2012 .  It  is painful to mention  here   that  the selection process has since been completed   more than  half  months  past  but they could not be posted due to some Departmental formalities  . As per Dte’s guidelines the process would have been completed   at the earliest  as  it has been done  by most of the Circles  under DOP.  All the candidates  have already submitted  required certificates  from District  Magistrate  along with other attestation forms duly completed . In most of the cases police verification & educational verifications have been completed .  In this connection it is brought to your kind notice that SBCO branches under the Circle are running with 30% (app.) shortage of staff . Some branches having 1/2 officials are facing severe problems in performing the audit & accounting works of SBCO along with the works relating to CBS. It  may not be out of place to mention here that  written examination  has already been carried out  for recruitment of 44  candidates against the vacancy for the year 2013 and the process is  likely to be completed shortly.                                   

In view of the above this Union urges  upon the Chief Postmaster General, West Bengal Circle kindly to intervene into the matter & take necessary action so that the long awaited selected  candidates are appointed  on ad hoc basis /  provisionally   after 2 weeks practical training at SBCO  as it was done in  last two  recruitment  process. It is most urgent  for the interest of CBS since SBCO is to certify the balances for migration of data .           

                                                                                                                                        Yours faithfully

                                                                                                                                           (A.N. Paul)

They are requested to kindly take personal initiative in this regard so that the selected candidates are appointed provisionally  before taking  theoretical training at PTC  since it will result  huge delay due to non availability accommodation at the training center.

NO banking job for the postman:

The Union finance ministry has poured cold water on India Post's application to set up a bank. The postal department might be asked to re-apply when new guidelines for bank licences are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

As suggested by the Bimal Jalan-headed screening committee, the issue came up for discussion at a recent meeting of the finance ministry and RBI, a ministry official said. The ministry said India Post was not ready for a banking foray.

India Post had said it needed Rs 1,800 crore to set up the bank. The postal department had sought an initial capital of Rs 623 crore from the finance ministry. It had thought of raising the rest from other sources. 

NO BANKING JOB FOR THE POSTMAN

·     Finance ministry says India Post is not ready for a banking foray ·     India Post had said it needed Rs 1,800 crore to set up the bank ·     The postal department had sought an initial capital of Rs 623 crore from the finance ministry ·     The advantage with India Post for getting a banking licence is that it has a branch in every nook and corner of the country ·     India Post has deposits of Rs 4 lakh crore but doesn't have experience in handling advances

"When we don't have enough money to recapitalise existing public sector banks, how can we afford to give funds for a new government bank?" said the official.
RBI had granted licences to only two entities, IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services, of the 25 applicants which applied to set up a bank. 
The high-level advisory committee (Jalan panel) set up by RBI to look into the bank licence applications had recommended the central bank consider India Post's application separately, in consultation with the government, and RBI had agreed to do so. 
RBI had also said that instead of only opening the licensing window periodically, it would like to make it a regular process, also mooting the idea of differentiated licences. 
Officials said RBI might issue new guidelines with some modifications for on-tap and differentiated licences. Then, India Post could stand a chance, particularly as a deposit-taking bank, provided it addressed the concerns of all stakeholders, they added. 
The advantage with India Post is that it has a branch in every nook and corner of the country. So, it can help the government reach the objective of financial inclusion. 
"India Post deserves the licence because they have the ability to attract customers, the first step towards financial inclusion. It is easier to lend but difficult to get deposits," said Abizer Diwanji, partner and national leader-financial services, EY. 
While India Post has deposits of Rs 4 lakh crore, it doesn't have experience in handling advances. It has a huge workforce but lacks experience in the range of banking operations, particularly treasury and risk management. Thus, it will have to get talent from the market, while some from its existing staff of 474,000 might be redundant.
India has the largest postal network in the world, with 155,015 post offices (against 98,000 bank branches), of which 90 per cent are in rural areas. However, the department posted a loss of Rs 5,805 crore in 2011-12. Both Bandhan and IDFC, on the other hand, are profitable.

Subject:- Procedure to beobserved by Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs) - Assessment of entries and gradings in ACRs/APARs - Reg. 

The undersigned is directed to invite reference to this Department's OM No.22011 / 5/ 86-Estt.D dated 10th April 1989 as modified from time to time wherein detailed guidelines on Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs) has been provided. As per extant instructions and rulings of Hon'ble Supreme Court in various court cases, the Departmental Promotion Committees enjoy full discretion to devise their own methods and procedures for objective assessment of the suitability of the candidates who are to be considered by them. Para 6.2.1 of the OM dated 10th April 1989 provides that the Confidential Rolls (now APARs) are the basic inputs on the basis of which assessment is to be made by each DPC. The evaluation of CRs (now APARs) should be fair, just and non-discriminatory. 

2. In terms of this Department's OM No.35034/7/ 97-Estt.(D) dated 8th February 2002, the DPC is required to determine the merits of those being assessed for promotion with reference to the prescribed bench-mark and accordingly grade the officers as 'fit' or Unfit' only. Only those who are graded 'fit' i.e. who meet the prescribed bench-mark by the DPC shall be included and arranged in the select panel in order to their inter-se seniority in the feeder grade. Those officers who are graded 'unfit' in terms of prescribed bench-mark by the DPC shall not be included in the select panel. There is no supersession in promotion among those who are graded 'fit' by the DPC.

3. Further, all the Ministries/ Departments have time and again been advised by this Department to ensure compliance of instructions on mandatory provisions regarding proper disposal of representations on adverse remarks/below bench-mark gradings contained in the APARs in a quasi-judicial manner as prescribed in this Department's OM No.21011/1/2005-Estt(A) (Pt.II) dated 14.05.2009, OM No.21011/1/2010-Estt.A dated 13.4.2010 and OM No.21011/1/2005-Estt.A(Pt.II) dated 19.05.2011 before placing the same for consideration of the DPC. These provisions have been reiterated vide this Department's O.M. No.21011/1/ 2005-Estt.(A)(Part.III) dated 31st January, 2014 and all the Cadre Controlling Authorities, Ministries/ Departments have been advised to ensure compliance of these provisions before sending proposals for consideration of DPCs. 

4. It has been brought to the notice of this Department that in certain cases the Departmental Promotion Committees while assessing suitability of officers have given recommendations as 'unfit' on grounds including non-fulfilment of procedural requirements of disposal of representations preferred on entries/gradings in APAR. 

5. It is reiterated that in discharge of its statutory functions the respective DPCs are required to determine the merits of those being considered for promotion with reference to the prescribed bench-mark, by making its own assessment, on the basis of the entries and gradings contained in the APARs and other relevant material facts placed before it, and accordingly grade the officers as 'fit' or 'unfit'. Relevant material would inter alia include the orders of the competent authority on the representation of the Government servant on the entries/ grading in APAR. In the event of the DPC deciding not to take cognisance of such an order, on the ground that the same is not a speaking order, the DPC shall make its assessment based on the entries in APAR and other material including the representation of the Government servant. The DPCs should substantiate its assessment by giving justifiable and sustainable reasons including the cases where the assessment of the DPC is different from the grading in APAR (original or amended after representation by the Government servant).

6. All the Ministries/Departments are requested to give wide circulation to this OM and to ensure that extant guidelines on the subject are followed scrupulously.
