Respected Madam,
The
IP/ASP Association would like to draw your kind attention to their letters dated
31/12/2010, 22/3/2012, 21/8/2012, 20/9/2012 and 31/5/2013 on the above
captioned subject. Directorate vide memo No. 9-9/2011-SPG dated 20th
February 2013 has circulated draft seniority list of Inspector Posts for the
year 1998, 1999 and 2000 to all circles for rectification of mistakes if any.
It is confirmed from all circles that they have already rectified the omissions,
errors as directed in Directorate letter dated 20th February 2013 and
submitted their requisite report to Directorate. Odisha and Maharashtra circle have
also replied to the queries raised by Directorate.
Madam,
the combined All India Seniority List of Inspectors from the year 1998 onwards
was not prepared, released and also not placed on India Post website. This
issue was discussed with your honour on 6/2/2013 and you have assured us that,
the seniority list would be made available soon. But despite lapse of considerable
period (i.e. 4 months) the final seniority list is neither circulated nor
published on India Post website by the Department.
It is therefore fervently requested to your
kind honour to arrange for issue Combined All India Seniority List of Inspector
Posts cadre from the year 1998 onwards immediately and make it available in the
website of India Posts so that all IPs / ASPs may be aware of their seniority
position in the All India Seniority List.
An

Draft Seniority List of Inspector Posts for the year 1998, 1999 & 2000 issued by Directorate....an update

India Post applies for bank licence
"Bajaj Finserv Ltd has submitted its application to Reserve Bank of India on June 26, 2013 for a Licence to commence banking business in terms of section 22 of the Banking Companies Act, 1949. It is proposed to do this by converting its subsidiary Bajaj Finance Ltd into a Bank in terms of RBI Guidelines for Licensing of New Banks in the Private Sector dated February 22, 2013" the company said in a statement.
Although the postal department has been expressing its ambitions to float a bank for long, RBI would have to create a special dispensation for India Post as it does not fit into several of the criteria prescribed by the central bank. Besides the prescribed norms, the postal department would face a huge challenge in putting in place a core banking solution that would facilitate a centralized view of all its accounts. However, there are many who feel that the postal department is ideally suited to spread RBI's objectives of financial inclusion. The department already mobilizes small investments through the postal saving scheme and it has a network that is larger than any bank.
IFCI, Bajaj Finserv, India Infoline would join a host of other entities like Religare Enterprises,Aditya Birla group, JM Financial and Srei, which have lined up plans to foray into the banking sector.

The IP/ASP Association vide its
letters of even number No. dated 22/3/2012, 21/8/2012, 29th October,

referred reminders from this Association.
There are number of Assistant Managers posts are vacant in each and
every circle in the country and due to non framing of recruitment rules,
department has not conducted the examination for the vacant posts of Assistant
Managers.
This

appropriate action, but till date neither
fresh recruitment rules have been framed by the Department nor examination for

for finalization of the Recruitment Rules of the Assistant Manager MMS along
with conducting of examination for promotion for concerned eligible staff in
the cadre of Assistant Manager MMS.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Self-certification
The Second Administrative Reforms Commission in its 12th Report titled "Citizen Centric Administration - The Heart of Governance", has recommended, adoption of self-certification provision for simplifying procedures. (www:darpg.gov.in)
2. Taking a cue from this some Ministries/State Governments have adopted the provision of self-certification of documents like marksheet, birth certificate etc. by the applicants/stakeholders instead of asking for an attested copy of the documents by a Gazetted Officer or filing of affidavits. Under the self attestation method, the original documents are required,to be produced at the final stage.
3. You will appreciate that the above method is citizen friendly and obtaining either an attested copy or affidavit not only cost money but also involves wastage of time of the citizens and the Government officials.
3. It is requested to kindly review the existing requirements of attested copy or affidavit in various application forms in a phased manner and wherever possible make provision for self-certification of documents, after obtaining the approval of the competent authority.

Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w grant of honorarium for GDS enquiry under Rule-10 of GDS (Conduct & Engagement) Rules, 2011
No.
GS/AIAIASP/GDS-Hon/2013 dated : 22/6/2013
Furthermore, the annual ceiling of Rs 4000/- per IO/PO per year bestowed to the Head of the Circle since long is still in vogue and no action to revise this limit has been taken concomitantly leaving aside benefit granted above. However, DG Posts has the power to sanction honorarium up to Rs 5000/-, means all the cases will have to be referred to Directorate for sanction. In such cases, either the beneficiary will be deprived of his/her right or will have to wait for long to get the desired relief.

revision of financial powers delegated to CPMG for sanction of the Honorarium.
Ref: DG memo No
C-32016/03/2005-VP dated 23.08.2005
Respected Madam,
Directorate vide memo No 32016/12/2011-VP dated 04.07.2011 on the basis
of notification issued by DOP&T has revised honorarium rates for Inquiry Officers/
Presenting Officers engaged for conducting departmental enquiries which was
further revised on 8.1.2013. Under the existing structure details, minimum Rs
5000/- and Maximum 10000/- are required to be sanctioned if the enquiry is completed
within stipulated time frame. No such revision whatsoever has been made for
IO/PO for conducting GDS inquiries, perhaps this was not part of DOP&T memo
as no such cadre exists in any other department except DOP.
Although the responsibilities of IO/PO are predefined and similar in nature
both for departmental and GDS employees, yet the honorarium rate is not in
parity as is apparent from the below noted table, that also needs upward
revision at par with departmental inquiries.

In such cases, either the beneficiary will be deprived of his/her right or will have to wait for long to get the desired relief.
Since the
minimum rate of honorarium has been revised for departmental inquiries and the
F.R 46 B stood amended (vide MOF, DOE I.CU.O.No.4.2/5/2008-IC dated
29.01.2009), the ceiling and the Financial Powers delegated for sanction of
honorarium may also be revised suitably for all purposes.

CAT Madras Bench in their judgement dated 9th April 2013 stated that ''prior to 5th CPC,
all Non-Gazetted employees in receipt of monthly basic pay of upto Rs. 2200/-
were entitled to OTA for performing duties beyond the designated working hours.
The 5th CPC had recommended abolition of OTA for all categories
except the Staff Car Driver, Operational Staff and Industrial employees. But,
it recommended that the staff deployed on weekly off days should be given a
compensatory leave rather than any cash compensation in the form of OTA or
otherwise. However, the said recommendations were not accepted and status-quo
was maintained as per the recommendations of the 4th CPC. It is also
seen that the rate of OTA fixed and the ceiling by the Nodal Ministry viz.
Department of Personnel and Training, consequent on the recommendation of 4th
CPC have not been revised by the said Ministry. As rightly contended by the
respondents, unless the said Nodal Ministry approves the proposal sent by the
Department of Posts for revision of OTA rate, they are not in position to
revise the OTA rates on its own and it is a policy decision of the
Government. In other words, the
Department Posts cannot take an independent decision on the issue raised by the
respondents".
