Respected Sir,
Sub:
Regional Council, JCM meeting notified
to be held on 16.2.2016 – Subjects thereof-
Reg.
….
OLD ITEMS
Before furnishing the new items for discussions, the
Staff Side wants to point out the following on the recorded minutes of the RJCM
meeting held on 06.08.2015, since many items were either closed without
settlement or without any action against the categorical assurances recorded in
the minutes. Hence the same may kindly re-opened.
1.
Request
for furnishing action taken report on the charter of demands submitted by the
NFPE unions on 26.03.2015 one day Statewide strike in Tamilnadu Circle.
2.
Allotment
of at least a small size room to the RJCM Staff side in the recently vacated
BSNL building adjacent to Anna Road HPO premises or within the Anna Road HPO
premises, as assured by the Administrative side in the earlier RJCM meeting and
as directed by the Secretary Posts under
item 63 in the JCM Departmental Council
meeting. Dt. 16.12.2014.
3.
Request
to initiate action to have a thorough review on assessment of vacancies in PA cadre
in all the Divisions, so as to fill up all the difference in vacancies
between the sanctioned and working strength immediately. There is mismatch
between the sanctioned and working strengths, despite taken into account of the
current year vacancies announced, screening committee vacancies etc. For Eg.
Namakkal, Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, Tiruvannamalai, Sivaganga, Kumbakonam,
Mayiladuturai , Dindigul, Dharmapuri and Salem East divisions. Item No.31 in
JCM DC meeting dt. 16.12.2014. Request to allow outsourcing as an interim
measure to come over the acute shortage in these Divisions.
4.
Request to stop fixing of unrealistic norms to
the indoor staff to procure RPLI policies, opening of Savings Bank Accounts,
E-Posts, IMO etc . Request to stop harassment of GDS by fixing unrealistic
target in procuring RPLI policies, securing Savings Bank Accounts. Threatening
of officials , by frequently calling
them at R.O. to seek
explanations, for non adherence of targets , delivery performance, which is an
unfair labour practice etc. especially
in SR & WR . Now under CR also.
5.
Request for settlement of CBS/CIS connected problems immediately. There is poor
bandwidth connectivity and the capacity of systems are very low and they could not even to cope up with the
capacity so as to install Windows 7 and Symantec Antivirus in many areas. Widows
7 loaded in many offices are reportedly
pirated. There is non uploading of 100% premium collections of PLI/RPLI into
NIC data, which resulted in enormous public complaints after migration to Mc camish.
6.
Request to take action to replace outdated
Computers/peripherals affecting the quality of service provided to the
customers. Though reports obtained region wise for condemning the worn
out/outdated systems/peripherals since 2013, nothing happened till time. Staff
are facing poor network capabilities and Bandwidth also. User credential
problems will be a big threat in working CBS/CIS environment, since we are
dealing with day to day deputations on each and every office.
7.
Request
to process the pending Rule 38 transfer
cases in linking with Annual Direct Recruitment. This has not been done in the
year 2014, which resulted in abnormal pendency of transfer requests. Now the
notification is issued for Direct recruitment through SSC. As per the rules
laid down on this subject under Vol. IV and subsequent GIO, the process of rule
38 is to be completed before chalking out
the ADR for rectt. to a particular year and vacancy in PA cadre is to be
assessed by taking into account the Rule
38 transfers.
8.
Request to settle the long pending peripheral HRA cases of Tambaram, Chennai City South, Salem West,
Salem East, Srirangam and Dharmapuri
Divisions. Further request to
draw higher rate of HRA to the places comes under the urban agglomeration of
Greater Chennai City (Metropolitan area) and other cities like
Madurai/Coimbatore/Trichy areas, based on the
Census 2011 declaration.
9.
Request to settle the long pending stepping up
of pay of the promotee seniors with direct recruited juniors appointed on or
after 01.01.2006 cases. Moreover, fixation
of pay cases of several postman staff are also pending in many Divisions . For
eg. Cases of Pudukkottai, Tiruvannamalai , Chengalpattu, Chennai City
South Divisions etc. These cases are reportedly pending with CIFA, as
replied by the R.O. CCR.
10.
Request to redraw all the officials, those who
are working beyond their prescribed tenures in sensitive post such as staff,
stock vigilance etc. in Divisional offices, Regional/Circle offices, as per CVC
guidelines. For eg. officials
positioned in D.O.s in decade and above long period in Tambaram, Dharmapuri, Chennai North
,Chennai Central, Chennai South, Tuticorin Divisions etc. A thorough review is
requested in all Divisions throughout the Circle. This was again taken up in
the last Four Monthly meeting also.
11.
Request to review the abnormal deputations and
frequent trainings for WCTCs in the acute shortage scenario. This affects the normal services badly. In each and every Division, local training
centre are opened and officials are deputed on daily basis, just to cater the
need of WCTCs. The officials are deputed again and again for the same training
modules. When CBS is introduced, officials are deputed for Sanchay post modules
again, just to fill up the seats in WCTCs.
12.
Request for periodical maintenance of staff
quarters. This was not attended to for
years-to-gether in several areas like
Teynampet, Anna Nagar, Royapettah etc.
Proposal may be taken up to replace the
sewage pipe lines, water pipe
lines in many areas , which were laid
for long back. Proposal is also
requested for replacing cement floorings
into tiles, colour washing , cleaning of
bushes etc. Agency services may be engaged for attending day to day complaints.
13.
As per BD Dte No.16-10/2000-BDD dt. 16.1.2000
Supervisory official should be posted based on the revenue generated at the
BPCs, since Contract labourers are engaged and
there is every possibility of emanating
malpractices there . They are
meant for the purpose of accounting, depositing of revenue, payment, data
maintenance and supervision. But instead of entrusting this work to the
IPs/ASPs in major BPCs such as Chennai GPO, Anna Nagar etc. the Accountants of
the office are squeezed to attend this work in addition. If any fraud occurs,
they will be fixed as scapegoats and recovery
will be imposed. This should be stopped and suitable action should be
taken in accordance with the Dte. guidelines. Further, the provision of
incentive to the postal staff, out of
commission earned under business package is also denied by the GPO administration.
Though instructed vide SR/19-88/110-RJCM dt. 20.10.2011 by the CPMG, TN.
14.
Non
drawal of revised wages/DA and
nonpayment of arrears from
1.1.2006 to all full time /partime Casual Labourers and nonpayment of weekly
off in Tamilnadu Circ-le, though ordered
by Dte. in No. 2-53/2011-PCC dt.22.1.2015 . They are eligible for weekly off,
as per Dte. lr No.45-60/88-SPB I dt.
7.7.88 for six days continuous work, This was reiterated by CPMG, TN in lr. No.REP/84-1/89 dt. 19.4.1990.
Divisional Heads are denying their rights on the plea that there is no casual
labourer working under their control, despite of issuance of orders by CPMG, TN
in No. REP/84-73/11(pt) dt 8.8.13, confirming Dte. lr. No. 65-24/88-SPB I dt.
17.5.1989.
15.
Irregular fixation of TRCA to several BPMs in
Kumbakonam Division, Second TRCA of 1600-40-2400 was fixed for them before
implementation of Natarajamurthy Committee recommendations. Then it was reduced
to the lower stage of Rs.2745-50-4245 after implementation of this Committee report,
which is contrary to the Dte. Memo. No. 5-1/07-WS-I dt. 16.7.12. Though this
issue was taken up by several times, this order was misconstrued and the case
was negatively closed.
16.
Request to stop ordering of Combination of
duty/beats to ensure proper timely public services. With the introduction of
new services like Amazon and other online trading services having heavy
unwieldy parcels, engaging the delivery staff for canvassing new schemes
introduced like SSA etc., ever increasing number of multi-storied building
resulting in vertical expansion of the beats that are not included in the
distance covered and many new avenues and ventures like promotion of philately
accounts, promoting the same amongst school children, collection of
data/information in the prescribed forms from the Old Age Pension
beneficiaries, etc have added to the workload of the postmen
staff. Apart from performing the delivery of postal articles with
very high percentage everyday that is being keenly monitored by the administration,
the nature of duty for delivery staff has become multi-facial and many folded
involving marketing skills, canvassing abilities, liaising with important
sections of the society. But all these new additions are not taken
into account when the justification for delivery staff is made. It
is further pointed out though the administration claims a major dip in the
mails traffic, the fact remains that the mails traffic has been steadily
increasing as submitted by our DOP before the 7th CPC. Under
these circumstances, it is requested that the regular ordering of combination
of duty for delivery staff may be stopped. To rub salt to the wound,
it is unfair and unjust to order combination of beats in offices where single
batch system had been introduced. It is pertinent to note that
almost all offices have been brought under single batch system. This
combination of beats result not only in addition of work load of an additional
beat but also the postman is forced to travel extra to cover the distance. And
amidst the ever present traffic snarls and congestion, the covering of extra
distance have become a menace. Hence, it is requested not to order
Combination of duty/beats and the vacancies of the postman cadre may either be
filled up early or substitutes arrangements may be made to tide over the
crisis.
17.
26. Request to review the administrative orders
for asking the delivery staff to enter the office of posting and name
& address of the addressee in the delivery slip for RLs & SPAs in
Chennai City Region:
18.
27. Exhausting the Dovetailed list candidates of
Chennai City North Division by promoting them to GDS cadre by filling up of
Vacancies so that their services could be utilized in the leave or otherwise
vacancies of Postman at Chennai GPO and other Post offices too.
19.
Filling up of vacant posts of Sorting Postman
and Cash Overseer. There are many
vacancies in existence in all the divisions in sorting postman and cash
overseer posts that require to be filled up at once. Some posts are kept as skeleton and others
are manned by existing postman staff that in turn creates further vacancies in
the postman cadre. Hence, early action
is requested to fill up all vacant Sorting PM and Cash overseers posts without
further delay.
20. Request
for dispensing with the oral ordering of reduction of staff during the visits
of officers without following the norms of periodical establishment review. It
has become the order of the day presently that the posts of many offices are
orally ordered to be reduced during the visits of officers. On all such occasions the officers are
influenced by the traffic available for the day of their visit. In this connection, it is reiterated that the
norms of periodical review is given a go-by and instant and on the spot oral
orders have become the regular practice being followed now. Hence, it is requested that the same may be
dispensed with.
21.
Request
for provision of Departmental Canteen in Major offices. There are many bigger
Post offices and RMS offices and certain departmental buildings house post
office, administrative office and RMS office in one and the same complex where
more than 200 employees work. The norms
of opening of departmental canteen are fulfilled in these buildings with
adequate number of employees working in the same building. In order to facilitate the cost effective
food to the employees where the ‘no loss-no profit’ concept is adopted, the
departmental canteens may be started.
Early action in this matter is highly solicited.
22. Request
to expedite action to build departmental buildings in our vacant land available
at Kilpauk, Abibullah Road in T. Nagar in Chennai, Munichalai Road and
Arasaradi in Madurai and other sites to use for our department purpose to
reduce costs by preventing huge sums being paid as rents.
23. Request
for appointing a Doctor in the vacant post at Tirunelveli dispensary. There are
two Doctor posts in Tirunelveli dispensary. One post is vacant. If the available doctor goes on leave, the
work comes to a standstill resulting in innumerable difficulties to the
patients. Hence needy action may be
taken at once to fill up the vacancy.

Request to remove false –ceiling in CCRC, Anna Road Stg .
28. Request to allot funds for Training . In most
of the postal and RMS offices, the officials are compelled to undergo training at PTC Madurai/ WCTCs. They are granted with advance only
and the bills are not yet cleared
everywhere, especially in Chennai
Sorting Division. .
29. Disparity in salary reported in RMS units for
the newly appointed SA s. In
Chennai Sorting division, the candidates who are selected for SA cadre have
been given monthly salary as admissible before undergoing the Induction
training. But in MA Division, the selected candidates have been given remuneration
@ Rs.23.40/- per hour. It is irregular and the disparity may be rectified.
30. Request
to provide Rest-rooms and dining rooms in RMS offices. In RMS offices, the staff are working round
the clock. But they do not have proper
rest room and dining room. Hence, kindly ensure rest room and dining room in all the RMS offices.
31.
Request
to promote LSG Accountants to HSG II grade.
The PO & RMS
examination is common for Postal and RMS staffs. The qualified Accountants working in RMS
side, they got promotion upto LSG cadre only. After introduction of HSG Rectt.
rules 2013, there is no separate distinction
between Accounts and General line in HSG II cadre. Hence all the
erstwhile HSG II posts in Accounts line may be filled with, from either way and
promotions may be granted with, to the eligible officials.
32. Request
to fill-up all the GDS vacancies in RMS units. Before recruiting the GDS from
the open quota, kindly consider the
dovetailed list as per the court orders and fill up all the GDS vacant posts.
33. Request to maintain rest houses. Most of the
rest houses available in our Circle are not in good condition and requires some
repairs. Hence it is requested to
maintain properly and fill-up care taker post in all the rest houses.
34. Request to paint RMS buildings. Most of the
RMS offices are not painted for more than five years. Hence it is requested to paint the RMS
offices at least once in three years .
35. Non Payment of DCRG in one lump sum to the
eligible cases. The practice of withholding the part of eligible DCRG to the
retired officials or the nominee of the of the deceased employee still continue
in all cases. As per the DOPT orders in 20/16/1998-P&PW (F) dated 19th
February, 2013, withholding of 10 % of DCGR is required to be done only in
respect of official in whose cases the clearance are to be given clearance from
Directorate of Estates. It is further reiterated that except for adjusting the
outstanding dues towards Govt. accommodation, DCRG cannot be withheld for whatsoever
other reason be. Request to take action on this .
36. Request for grant of honorarium for the
fixation of pay in respect of those whose increment falls due from 2.1.2006 to
30.6.2006 The work related to fixation of as per the Revised Pay rules 2006 and
drawl of arrears ,on pro-rata basis was granted vide the authority contained in
DG(P) letter no 42-1/2008 PAP dated 21.12.2009.
37. Request
for sanctioning the 1/4th of full daily allowance, as special allowance, to
those who are compulsorily to take up
the boarding and lodging at the training institutes. As per the GOI (3) 2 below
SR 164, the officials staying in the residential training programs by paying
the fixed rates are to be given special allowance. The plea of passing
authorities that the new DA rule w.e.f 1.9.2008 cannot be applied is not
tenable. As per new rule from 1.9.2008, except new rates (comprising of three
components viz. food bill, accommodation and local travel expenditure} none of
the other conditions that were in prevalence as on 1.9.2008 were amended. In
fact options to claim on either old rate or new rates have also been accorded.
While the stipulations are so firm and amenable, the contention that the rules
prior to 1.9.2008 are extinct is not correct.
38. Request
to follow uniform procedures in calculating the interest of HBA by excluding
the high rate of interest. As per the rule on the subject, the sanctions of HBA
should invariably stipulate a higher rate of interest at 2.5% above prescribed
rates with the relaxation that if conditions attached to the sanction are
fulfilled, rebate of interest to the extent of 2.5% will be allowed. In some
Regions, the 2.5% of rebate is allowed if the conditions attached to the
sanctions are fulfilled up to the point of repaying the Principle amount
itself. Thus, the Interest rate is calculated in the normal rate and
installments/recovery of Interest ordered accordingly. On other hand, in some
Regions, the higher rate of Interest is levied up to the last installment of interest
recovery and rebate is allowed only after ensuring the conditions attached to
the sanction are fulfilled until this point of time.
39. Request
for Installation of Solar power energy in Circle Office and in major Head office buildings . In our
Circle Office building we are having more than one office and the consumption
of Electricity is more.
40. Immediate
repairing works to be carried out in the Gents Toilet in II floor at C.O. to
avoid any untoward incident as the a portion of the
ceiling inside the Gents toilet has already fallen one year back and the remaining portion appears to
be in a dilapidated condition and may
come down at any time is posing a serious threat to the
officials. Both the service unions have taken up the
issue with the Circle Administration but the position remain the same. Immediate necessary steps may please be taken to carry
out repairing works on a war foot. Besides,
the case of water problem in the building, including Anna Road HPO may be solved as a permanent measure by getting metro
water connection to the sumps and by drilling deep bore well. This may be
looked into.
41.
Review
of Computer systems available in SBCO units .The SBCO branches were equipped with computers during
1995/96 and most of the SBCO units are
still functioning with the very old computer systems in FoxPro based programme.
It is requested to conduct an overall assessment of the functioning/ condemnation of the Computers/peripherals, so as to
replace with new ones.

and SLP 21825/2006.
44. Nonpayment
of severance amount, gratuity and EDGIS
amounts to the GDS officials, those who have retired/promoted/died on or
after the year 2013, since enormous cases are pending for long.
45. Non-
Grant of arrears to GDS substitutes for the period 1/1/2006 to 9/10/2009
despite Directorate Orders on the Plea of paucity of funds in the salary Head
in several divisions eg. Salem East Division, Tirupur Dn, Erode Dn, Salem west
dn, Krishnagiri Dn, Tiruvannamalai Division etc.
46. Request
to restore the contingent water carrier , sweeper , scavenger posts , which were abolished in
several divisions. For eg. Cuddalore. These works are now entrusted with the MTS which creates social stigma in the changed
environment of revised recruitment rules, where even Engineering graduates are
recruited for the post of MTS.
47. Request
to implement the revision of payment w.e.f. 1.4.2015 to the Casual Labourer engaged in BPCs for various
BD activities, since the Dte. has
already issued orders to make payment for the outsiders engged in BPCs on piece
rate basis for the work performed by
them at not more than 50% of the rate prescribed, vide No. BDD/Mailing/01/96 dt 13.5.1999 and
BD/1-2/2002/Vol. III dt. 11.2.2009.
48. Request to give suitable instructions to the
authorities concerned to permit the officials for examinations in whose cases

of CCS (CCA) Rules 1965.
49. Non maintenance of Generators/ under disrepairs
for long period in many Divisions throughout TN Circle eg. Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur,Tambaram,

and brought in to use again.
50. Request
for immediate repairing of High speed Franking machine (type 550 L Model),
located at BPC, Chennai GPO which is under disrepairs for the past 1 ½ months.
There is no AMC for that and there is heavy delay in exhausting usual
procedures. Now slow speed model FM (
type 100 L) is working, which could not able to cater the need of the BPC requirements, resulting in
accumulation of huge volume of mails, inviting complaints and
in turn loosing customer base,
despite making repeated reports to the
Chief PM, Chennai GPO.
51.
Request to withdraw the irregularly opened
Franchisee outlet in close proximity to Begampur PO/Dindigul Dn. affecting
the business of the Post office heavily. The basic norm
prescribed by the Directorate is “the out let can be opened at a place where a
post office cannot be opened as per departmental norms” and also the minimum
distance should be 1.5 km with the nearest PO.
52. Erection of new bore well at

the Circle . A thorough review is requested for the requirements and ensure streamlining of proper supply to the
HOs/SOs.
54. Request for provision

56. Request
to take action to build an Annex building at Tirupur H.O, which is a
pending request for long, since the staff , public and the administration are
suffering with lack of sufficient accommodation with SOA. Tirupur is the 5th
largest city in TN and Tirupur HO is now
housing HO, D.O, DLTC & BPC.
57. Request
to upgrade Gandhinagar ‘A’ Class office/Tirupur
Dn into LSG office by downgrading Iduvampalayam LSG Office into ‘A ‘Class
office. Gandhi Nagar S.O. is now developed as a heavy transaction
office. The status of the office is ‘A’ class office. Both the offices are under Tirupur division
and Tirupur UA. It will not only be helpful to all stakeholders but
scientific requirement also. The implementation of the above proposal is
suggested on matching saving basis and hence no expenditure in any way is
required.
NEW ITEMS
1.

hours in Post Offices including Saturdays, since it is blatantly violated in
our Circle by various sub ordinate
authorities.
7.
Request to repatriate all the P.A.s immediately,
now attached with SBCO in various Divisions, like Central Region, since P.A.s are not trained
in SBCO modules and SBCO is a separate
cadre with distinct recruitment rules. Further, in the changed environment, if
anything happened because of ignorance of SBCO environment, the P.A.s so
deputed will be fixed as scapegoats with contributory negligence factor.
Further there is acute shortage in P.A.
cadre and public services are hampered
for want of sufficient staff at operative side.
8.

Vellore
fort PO building is situated in the heart of the Vellore city and it is one of
the oldest post office in Vellore division. The building is in much damaged
condition and subjects were taken up at various level to demolish and
reconstruction for the past 13 years. Now funds have been allotted under
project arrow and the renovation of the building is under process. But the
front portion of the office alone has been renovated and the toilet portion is
still in damaged and dilapidated condition. The drainage paths have been
blocked and FOL is not in a condition for use. Hence it is requested that
action may be taken for allotment of funds for the above work.
1. 10.
Vellore city has been upgraded as
Corporation in the year 2011. The population of Vellore Corporation and its
urban agglomeration was around 502000 in the year 2011 itself. But the HRA has
not been revised so far to 20% from 10%. Hence it is requested that action may
please be taken to get the HRA at the revises rate.
11.
RPLI commission is only being given to the staff in
service. After retirement, the RPLI commission to the procuring staff is
stopped. This thing seems unjustified. The commission of policy procured by a
staff should be paid to him after retirement. Further department should have
offered an opportunity to the retired staff of our department to continue as
RPLI AGENT after retirement with the same AGENT CODE while they had in service.
The possibility may kindly be explored.
3. 12. Umbrella and chappels are not
supplied to outdoor GDS for the past 3 years. Hence it is requested that

allowances to the minimum. But the GDS MD / GDS PKRs are forced work for more
than 5 hours. As the GDS is paid for only 3 hours work in various Divisions,
these officials should be brought on duty only for three hours. Necessary
guidelines should be issued to the sub
ordinate authorities to fix the working hours of the GDS in such cases.
6. 16. Treating of DCRG nomination made in favour of Family
members invalid and not subsist by the authorities in contravention to rules on
