Highlights
To discuss about present status of IP grade Pay revision taken up by the Dept and Circle Association’s further action in this regard.

After a marathon discussion on the issue it was resolved that: Sri Joseph Rodrigues Circle Treasurer may prepare a proposal and put it on blog for further updation after collecting the views of all the members.

To discuss about the CBS issues thrust on IP / ASPs
We can put up in the bi monthly meeting and prepare an agenda. Also date of meeting may be published in blog

To discuss about the MACP issues recommended by the 6th Pay Commission
It was resolved To ignore the promotions attained by IPOs / ASPOs by their own efforts. In other words entry into clerical cadre should be the criteria for considering promotion under MACP after 10, 20 and 30 years

To discuss about delay in holding Circle DPC for ASP promotion
CS informed that the CRs of eligible IPs have already been called by CO and that there are 10 vacancies to fill up from among IPOs. APMG staff assured that DPC will be held shortly. It was unanimously decided that the creation of panel at circle level for adhoc promotion to the cadre of ASPs, SPOs and JTS is not beneficial to the officers and hence members expressed opinion that instead of forming panel, volunteers should be called for each post whenever it falls vacant and the willing officials should only be posted against those posts and nobody should be compelled to accept adhoc promotion.

To discuss about the filling up of IP Vacancies / delay in issue of posting orders for surplus qualified IPs opted for other circles.
It was unanimously resolved that, the vacant posts of IPs may not be managed for longer period by entrusting additional charges. This will put IPOs in a disadvantageous position whenever frauds occur. This is fraught with risks of bearing additional responsibility for contributory negligence whenever frauds occur. This will demoralize the cadre. Therefore, managing of sub divisions by additional charge may be avoided and the willing officials should only be posted to officiate as IPOs in vacant positions.

To discuss about the Gr B Examination – implications of Hon Madras CAT order
No discussion as aggrieved party approached High court.

Revision of Inspection days depending on workload of BO / SOs and other issues relating to inspection questionnaire
It was suggested that, the department should be asked to provide following information to the association under RTI.

What are the norms for assessing work load of a sub divisional office?
When the last review of sub divisions was taken up and with what result.
How many posts of inspectors have been newly created for managing the sub divisions on account of increased work load since last 25 years.
How many CI posts have been abolished and copies of rulings/instructions on such abolitions including note sheets approving abolition may be supplied.

Supply of Laptops to Sub Divisions- Present status
It is resolved to urge the administration for supply of lap tops to RMS sub divisions also on par with postal sub divisions as the work involved in inspection and maintenance of records of RMS sub divisions are also on par with postal sub divisions. Hence, there should not discrimination for supply of lap tops to RMS sub divisions. Further, it was resolved that the supply of laptops to all inspecting officers i.e., ASP (HQ), ASP (R), IP(C) and IPs, ASPs working in Regional offices and circle offices should be expedited.

The officers provided with lap tops should also be supplied with data card for internet to enable faster communication and monitoring of e enabled services in the post offices under their jurisdiction.

To discuss about our stand on the Proposed Indefinite strike by our Sister unions
It was decided not to participate in the ensuing strike called by the sister unions with effect from 13-07-2010 in the absence of instructions from CHQ. Further it was resolved that, the administration should not force IPs and ASPOs to perform operative duties during the strike period.

Any other issues by the permission of Chair
Other issues
1) RPLI incentive - It is resolved to insist the department for payment of Rs. 50/- as incentive for having written confidential report. This should be paid irrespective of the amount of policy and also that it should be paid instantaneously after acceptance of the policy without depending on the incentive bills to be preferred by the BPMs/SPMs.
2) It is resolved to urge administration for supply of Swamy’s hand book, swamy’s news and also the latest copies of departmental volumes and manuals to all IPs and ASPs.
3) FSC- It is resolved that, the amount of FSC may be enhanced to Rs. 500/- per month. It is resolved to urge administration for payment of FSC to the sub divisional heads of RMS also on par with sub divisional heads of postal wing.
4) IO / PO honorarium - It is decided to urge administration that the incentive for IO / PO be enhanced and the based on some standards
5) In SO inspection questionnaire, it is mandatory to verify five TD pass books physically and to issue SB 46 notice to rest of the TD account holders. In the present set up, there are too many TD accounts opened in SOs. Therefore, the above procedure of verification is almost impossible and unscientific. Therefore, only five pass books for physical verification should be prescribed and not all the TD pass books.
6) It is resolved to insist upon giving full and detailed information for officials and public related to new business concept. In many cases, the schemes are introduced without any advance preparation like income generated from the scheme and returns to be gained from the point of view of general public and other important features of the scheme. Therefore, it is urged that the department should be ready with the details of the scheme which can be informative to the officials and the public before it is implemented.
7) Binaga fraud case, Karwar: The aggrieved officers of Karwar division expressed disappointment stating that unreasonable amount is ordered for recovery from the officers who had worked in various capacities in Karwar division when huge fraud took place at Binaga SO. The aggrieved officers urged for intervention of circle association to bring justice and to protect the officers involved in the office work from unnecessary risk of bringing them for contributory negligence. The CWC members urged for taking up the issue with concerned PMG and also with CPMG on this issue. Similarly, the CWC urged that circle association to write to Regional PMG and also to Chief PMG on the issue of recovery on account of contributory negligence in fraud cases of Karwar division and Raichur division, before meeting the concerned higher officers on this issue.

Finally the meeting ended at 1700 hrs.
