ORDERS No.04-28/2013-SPB-II Dated: 15-05-2013 Filling up the posts of Postmaster Grade-III in Post Offices in Postal Circles. I am directed to refer to Directorate's letter No. 13-2/2010-PE.I dated 25-11-2010 con- stituting a separate cadre of Postmasters namely Postmaster Grade-I, II, III and Senior Postmaster by carving out certain number of Posts in the existing General Line Posts in LSG/ HSG.II/ HSG-I and Postal Service Group -B re- spectively . As per the said order the posts will be deemed to have been designated as Post- master Grade-I , II and III w.e.f. the dates those are filled up. The Recruitment Rules of Post- master Grade III, including Grade I & II, have since been notified on 09-09-2010 and circulated vide Directorate's letter No. 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22-11-2010. The cadres of Postmaster Grade-I and II have already become operational. In the context, Directorate vide letters No. 4-19/ 2012-SBP-II dated 7/8.2.2011 and 02-05-2012 had inter-alia asked the Circles to await further instructions from the Directorate regarding fill- ing up of the posts in Postmaster Grade-III , under initial constitution clause as the then ex- isting vacancies in HSG-I were yet to to filled up on regular basis, s per revised Recruitment Rules of HSG-I when notified. 2. Revision of Recruitment Rules for HSG- I cadre in POs and RMS Offices is still under consideration in consultation with Union Public Service Commission and Department of Person- nel & Training (DOP&T) . In the meanwhile, the Department had proposed to DOP&T, to permit filling up te vacancies in HSG-I in Post offices by promotion of HSG-II officials as per the ex- isting Recruitment Rules. The same has since been agreed to by DOP&T . Consequently , the Directorate vide letter No. 4-44/2012-SPB-II dated 18-04-2013 has issued instructions to all Circles to fill up the vacancies in HSG-I in PO & RMS offices, as per the provisions of existing Recruitment Rules. by convening DPC meet- ings by 30-04-2013 and issue the promotion orders by 06-02-2013. 3. The Recruitment Rules for Postmaster Grade- III provide for filling up the posts through initial constitution clause from the officials holding the post in HSG-I on regular basis in Post Offices by calling options from them for appointment to the post and a Screening Committee shall as- sess te suitability of officials who apply for ap- pointment as Postmaster Grade-III at the com- mencement of the said Rules. 4. In view of the above, the Circles are now, re- quested to take necessary action for filling up the posts of Postmaster Grade-III under initial constitution clause of the Recruitment Rules by calling optons/ applications from HSG-I officials in Post Offices. While issuing circular calling for options /applicatons from the HSG-I officials , the following conditions laid down in paragraph 6 of Directorate's letter No. 4-7/2008-SPB-II dated 22-11-2010, which are reproduced below for ready reference may be brought to their notice. I. Once an official submits his application he will not be allowed to withdraw the same. II. Officials who are still left with at least two years of service to retire may only apply in order to avoid their dislocaton at the fag end of their service. III. In the event of their appointment as Post- master -III their further career progression will be in the hierarchy in the Postmaster cadre only as per the provisions in the relevant Recruitment Rules and not in the Geneal Line. 5. Earlier , the Directorate vide of letter No. 4- 17/2008-SPB-II dated 22-11-2010 had advised the Circles to call for applications for Postmas- ter Grade-III also but subsequently vide letter dated 7/8.2.2011 and 02-05-2012 the Circles were advised to await further instructions from the Directorate. It may be made clear in the cir- cular that all those who had applied in response to the earlier circular and are still willing for ap- pointment as Postmaster Grade-III should ap- ply again. 6. The applications/ options, so received from eligible regular HSG-I officials in Post Offices, may be scruitinzed by the Circles and submit- POSTAL BHARATI 4 J ULY, 2013 ted to the Screening Committee for consideration. The officials recommended by the Screening Com- mittee may be considered by the appointing au- thority and appointed immediately as Postmaster Grade-III against the idenitided posts. If certain number initial constituiton clause for want of suffi- cient number of eligible officials , the same may be filed up by promotion as per the provision contained in Col. 12 of the Recruitment Rules of Postmaster Grade-III. 7. It is reiterated that the posts will be deemed to have been designated as Postmaster Grade-III with effect from the dates those are filled up As has been clarified vide Dte. letters No. 4-61/2011-SBP-II dated 21-12-2011 and 4-1d9/2012-SPB-II dated 02-05- 2012 respectively till the posts are designated as Postmaster Grade-III, the posts of HSG-I will con- tinue to be manned by officials of General line. 8.

No.137-32/2013-SPB-II Dated: 29th May, 2013 Submission of representations/ petitions or advance copies of representations to Direc- torate -Reg. I am directed to say that it has been observed that there has been a tendency on the part of several officials at various levels to by- pass the prescribed channels of submission of representations / petitions or to submit advance copies of representations to Secretary (Posts)/ Director General (Posts)/ Member (Personnel)/ DDG (Personnel) / Director (Staff ) requesting for promotion, pay fixation grant of MACP, trans- fer under Rule 38, posting to a particular station, expunction of adverse remarks , appointment to specific position, etc. Even in such matters, where the Circles, are competent to decide the repre- sentations, the officials are sending representa- tions/ petitions or advance copy of representa- tions to Directorate . Mere perusal and / or pro- cessing of such letter consume significant time at different levels in the Directorate. 2. In this context, it is pointed out that Rule 115 of the P&T Manual Vol. II states that any repre- sentation , which is not an appeal should be designated as a petiton . According to Rule 118- A. (1) of the said Volume, any petition or copy thereof which is sent direct to the Director Gen- eral or to any subordinate authority, instead of through the proper channel, will be filled, no no- tice of any kind being taken of it. 3. Further , the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 clearly provide that whenever a Government ser- vant wishes to press a claim or seek redressal of a grivance in any matter connected with ser- vice rights or conditions, the representations should be forwarded through proper channel. 4. In spite of adequate and clear instructions regarding the manner in which the representa- tions / petitions or copies of representations are being submitted directly to higher authorities in violation of the said instructions. 5. In view of the above , the Circles are requested to bring the above position to the notice of their employees and advise them to refrain from send- ing advance copies of representations/ petitions or copies of the representations to the authori- POSTAL BHARATI 5 J ULY, 2013 ties in the Directorate. Any such communica- tion not received through proper channel will be filed without taking notice of it. Administrative action may also be taken against officials for violation of rules/ instructions on the subject. ********** No. 141-26/2013-SPB-II Dated: 14-05-2013 Inter Circle Temporary transfer policy guide- lines- Reg. I am directed to refer to Directorate's letter No. 141-151/96-SPB-II dated 28th Octo- ber, 1996 on the subject cited above and to say thay the existing instructions issued by the Di- rectorate in respect of Inter-Circle temporary transfer have been reviewed. In supersession of existing instructions issued by the Directorate, the following norms/ guidelines may be followed by the Circles for consideration of requests re- ceived from officials seeking inter-Circle tempo- rary transfer :- a) The Circles should not entertain inter- Circle transfer on temporary basis received from offi- cials in a routine manner. The requests of offi- cials who seek such transfer may considered by the Circles in the first instance under Rule 38 of Postal Volume IV and instructions issued by the Directorate from time to time. If they are oth- erwise eligible . If the case is not being consid- ered under Rule 38, the reasons therefor may be recorded. b) Inter-Circle transfer on temporary basis of of- ficials referred to Directorate will be considered where both the CPMsG of the Circles have agreed to in really hard and deserving cases af- ter the genuineness of ground for such transfer stated by the officials is established to the ut- most statisfaction of CPMG of parent Circle. C) Inter-Circle transfer on temporary basis is re- stricted to only those officials , who have com- pleted probation period , wherever applicable , and in other cases on completion of two years of service in the grade. d) Grant of temporary transfer from one Circle to another will be considered initially for a period of six month only. Extension thereon may be con- sidered by the Circles for further six months. e) In no case , temporary will be allowed to an official beyond two years in his/her entire ser- vice career. f) Requests of the officials for extension of tem- porary transfer should be forwarded by the Circle with due recommendation of both the Circles at least two months in advance before expiry of period of temporary transfer already granted by the Directorate. g) Inter-Circle transfer on temporary basis from one cadre to another cadre will be considered by the Directorate.

REGARDING PREPARATION OF FAULTY SOFTWARE . Dated: 18-06-2013 Dear Shri Sibal ji, It is good that the Department of Posts has undertaken large programme of computeriza- tion & Modernization , under which hardware's are being purchased on large scale & software's are also being prepared / updated and installed. Sanchay post software of your department has been prepared in house by your experts. However, I notice following irregularities in functioning of software:- 1. Preparing of software was given to one date Net corpn. having no experience in this field. No tender formality was followed . Foftware was prepared for one sub Post offfice, but implemented in thou- sands of HPOs , SOs without permission from MS Data Net corpn. 2. This was open ended software it do not have any provision for data security . It do not contan any stored preocedure for data security purpose . Therefore data can be changed locally by operator on his own. 3. Data security is managed by password . There- fore no one has control over data Control over ac- cess to data was therefore left to local operator who is free to make any changes in order to com- mit frauds. Many operator have done this. 4. Opertor's limit is not defined, he is free to with- draw any account at his choice without knowledge of his supervisor. 5. Neither validation of Sanchay Post Software has been doen nor software has been tested, nor its trial run was carried out by Deptt. before launching software in order to ensure that it is foolproof soft- ware. 6. Mr. A.K. Nagpal, ADO % DA (P) Ahmedabad had raised serious concerns in the years 1998, 1999 & 2000 but those concerns have never addressed. As a result of above problems dozens of frauds have taken place in the country. An innocent official who has no role played in preparation of faulity Software are being booked by the Deptt. No action has been taken aginst those who pre- pared Software. It is a time for Hon'ble MOC to pay more attention in functioning of deptt. to review the situa- tion to remove defects stated above. 2. +rrtat zr nrtt nrr=rr t zt qt f nz t (nr z rr n =r- || -|l- :: : - : +| -ni :n<z|| n nt|=| +i n (+i+l +i a+ >i n-n|t- z|n| , ~-| ii:( +i ~-|-| n =--- t: := a+ n ||-i n< =| = ||-i |+ +n-|i nt|=| + ||i >i =- +n| | i, ii:( + nt|n|i >i (= + ln>, +|||-| >i (=ii | z| z|i, nt|= | + = a- n |i >i = -| | +n| l=t, >i ~|(- -|, >i (n(= -<n, ii + nt|n|i >i :z||< ( z||, ii: + nt|n|i n| -n| ||-, i~| + nt|n|i >i ~-iz| ln>, i~|: + nt|n|i >i i+ l-|i, ii(= + nt|n|i >i =-i +n| ln>, |n (+|--= + nt|n|i >i = +n| l=-t|, l=ln l + |i ~-| >i -i|n, z||=l-+ +|| n + l-i nt|n |i >i i(= tnn , ii: ( + +||n n|i >i n--< -|| lz|| ~|nl|- =<| n >i ii.n n =+ n =l- i-|i nt|| =+ n, =+n ~-| >i ii |+, ii: + =+n =l- >i (=(= |, -|| |- | = >i i(=+<n -l|- | n (+i+l + -i- =| t( |n =| n nt|n|i i - lni -: l<-ni a+ + (-| +| + =-|| :=+ |< <z| n ll|-- |-| n l+ <|| |-i ~lz|- -|| l--| +| |- + ln( l+ |=| +|z| |n| | =|i nt|nl|| - ~- ~- l-| | l,-i =| n nt|=| + ||i >i =- | i - =a- + | n l-- -<|- l<| (+i+l n nt|=| +i ~ni n +|-l-=n + | n --| t: +|i --| + |< nt|| =+n - l-n<|i ni +i ~ni n +|-l-=n nt|| =+n +|| >i |+ i - | - n +|-l-=n +i t +i |-+|i <i i n +|-l-=n -|l=+ n ( : ~+ : +| +-+|i z|+|-| -|= ~|- | -|+| -|l=+ ::: n t|i ~l z|- + | n l-- |-+|i ~| =|i +| -<i ti =+n ( ni- + ,|| <i |i - nrrnrt tt;q - POSTAL BHARATI 11 J ULY, 2013 THE CHIEF POSTMASTER GENERAL , JAIPUR (RAJ) HAS CIRCULATED ORDERS TO DEDUCT UNION SUB- SCRIPTION FROM SALARY OF BPEF UNION MEMBERS.

DEPARTMENT OF POSTS AP- PLIES FOR BANKING LICENCE NEW DELHI, J UNE 28, 2013 The Department of Posts, on Thursday, submitted an application before the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a licence to offer full-fledged banking services. We have approached the RBI today [Thursday], and hopefully having met all the con- ditions of RBI, an in-principle approval might be given. If it is given, I think, it will be a revolution- ary step because it will bring banking, subject to Cabinet approval, to the doorstep of the ordi- nary man in this country, Telecom and IT Minis- ter Kapil Sibal told PTI. The RBI is in the process of granting fresh banking licences and has set J uly 1 as the deadline for applying. The Department of Posts has plans to start 50 bank branches in the first year and scale it to a total of 150 branched in five years. The Department of Posts has started inter-ministerial consultations for seeking Cabi- net approval on around Rs.1,900 crore fund re- quirement to start Post Banks. The total amount includes Rs.500 crore paid-up capital required under new banking licence guidelines. PTI POSTAL DEPARTMENT TO LAUNCH QUICKER PARCEL SERVICE FROM JULY 19.
