served the Department directed the union to amend the constitution
changing the name of the union as Association and accordingly the
constitution was amended and approved. But no other union was insisted for

amendment.
2 (a) Grant of PB-2 to those officials who got 4200 grade pay on getting
MACP II.
DOPT has issued clarificatory orders that pay band would change on getting
MACP vide OM No. 3504/3/2008 Estt dated 09.09.2010 and on upgradation
they should be placed in the pay band of Rs. 9300-34800. But the upgradation
is granted in the pay band of Rs. 5200-20200 only in the existing pay band.
The DOPT orders should be reiterated to the Circles for correct placement.
2. (b) Removal of ceiling on NREGS incentive.
As per the Directorate letter no.01-14/2009-RB dated 18.1.2010, BPMs are
eligible for NREGS incentive in excess of 20 payments daily and SPMs 60
payments daily. In other words they have to do free payments 20/60. This in
unjustified this should be removed. Further, there is ceiling to BPMs amount
not exceeding TRCA+DA and to SPMS the existing DOPT instructions on the
payment of incentive and annual ceiling would apply. This means
departmental official should not get more than Rs.4000/- of all incentives.
SPMs are already getting RPLI incentive etc. As per this order no SPM will
get any incentive on NREGS. This should be removed.
2. (c) Issue of shortage of staff- and pressure of work on Postmasters/staff.
Immense pressure on the Postmasters/Staff in connection with GBS
Migration Activities without engaging additional man power either on
deputation to outsourcing. With regard to work related to Signature
Scanning interest posting. RD data entry, SB Agreement works the Divisional
Executives have been placing immense pressure on Postmasters/Staff
without observing staff position of the offices.
2. (d) Cheque Power, Disciplinary power and Recruitment power to
Postmaster Grade I officials- with channel of powers
All the Postmaster Grade offices (previously Unit Offices) which are
previously vested with Cheque Power, Disciplinary Powers, and Recruitment
of GDS under their unit are now deprived off the facilities or powers? Some
of the divisional heads are clarifying that though it is a unit office previously,
the Postmaster cadre officials are not having cheque power, Disciplinary
powers, Recruitment powers in their unit also. Due to withdrawal of cheque
power to postmaster Grade I officials, though they account with bank, the
customers are facing inconvenience /delay in closing of accounts at Grade I
offices which is against the norms of Project Arrow and Citizens Charter. If it
is addressed to the Head Postmaster for Cheque in respect of closures more
than Rs. 20000 it takes minimum of 2 days (Transit Time) for closure of
account even at Grade I offices. It is not an inevitable situation in the present
market.

HSG-I.
The Directorate issued order No. 137-64/2010-SPB II dated 28.07.2011 for
fixation of officiating pay on assumption of higher responsibilities. But the
order has not been implemented due to the conditions mentioned. But due to
the non-availability of regular HSG officials’ majority of the posts are
manned by officiating arrangement. Necessary orders are requested.
3. National Union of RMS & 1. Uniform Tenure policy for RMS Staff.
MMS Employees Group ‘C’ Though the Directorate issued orders to rotate officials working in Tenure
posts in Accounts Branch, Divisional Office and HRO/ SRO, many Circles
are not implementing the Directorate’s order stating that orders are not
specific. Hence, a uniform tenure policy may be issued in respect of RMS
Staff working in tenure posts.
2. Non-providing of proper accommodation for RMS section in the train.
India post is paying a good amount for haulage charges to the Railways. But
the Railways is not providing proper accommodation in many trains for RMS
function. Many times Railway authorities used to cancel the RMS
accommodation without giving notice to our Dept. This has resulted in
thousands of bags being accumulated on the platform. Further it causes delay
to public mails. Heads of Circles may be instructed to attend the coordinating
meeting with Railway authorities and to ensure providing proper
accommodation in the trains. In case trains are cancelled due to operational
reasons, the Railways should give alternate accommodation to RMS.
3. Grant of awards and honorarium to the MMS Drivers who have not
committed accident.
The Railway Dept. is granting awards and honorarium to their Drivers who
have not committed any accident during the service. Likewise, the same
scheme may be introduced in MMS.

Chappals and JD Bags) is not given these items at the proper time and are not
of good quality:
The Uniform cloth supplied to the staff is of substandard quality which gets
spoiled and worn out in short period of time. The relevant staff therefore
should be supplied with better quality of cloth and also timely supply of kit
items. It is suggested that the staff may be supplied with coupons for
purchasing good quality cloth from the shops having franchise in all over
India, and Chappals, umbrellas, woollen jackets for using in cold climates etc
may be allowed to be purchased by cash payment in the nominated shops
and franchises, by doing this the unnecessary paperworks and also avoidable
expenditure in delay will be eliminated.
