All Chief Post Masters General


Sub: - Introduction of Postmaster Cadre in Postal Wing.


Sir/Madam,

I am directed to say that Department of Posts operates mainly through its about 25500 Departmental Post Offices. The services it offers have grown in the traditional areas of sale of stamps, booking of Money orders and Registered letters as also in Savings Bank functions, especially where Post Offices disburse NREGA wages to beneficiaries. In many post offices these activities are carried out electronically, new services like e-payment, e-post etc is also offered. Further the Department has also entered into agreements with private players like Western Union for money transfers. In the area of mail, both express, parcel and traditional, the Department of Posts faces tremendous competition. It has to offer excellent services by way of continuous upgrades in quality and in the add on value of its mail products, like IOD, national billing, same day delivery of corporate mail etc.

2. In spite of the long existence of the Post Offices and challenges being faced by the Department from private players in the field there had never been an exclusive cadre for Postmasters. The Postal Assistants, LSG/HSG-II, I etc. are posted to man the posts of Postmasters. This system served the Department quite well till some time back. But now in order to improve/upgrade the functioning of the Post Offices, meet the present day requirement of specialization in Postal office management in the wake of introduction of technology, challenges from market and to increase productivity it has absolutely become essential to ensure that key Post Offices are headed by professional managers. Thus, in order to ensure that professionally qualified, trained and meritorious officials head they key Post Offices, it has been decided to introduce a separate cadre of Postmasters comprising the following grades by carving out the posts from existing General Line posts as ordered vide this Directorates letter No. 13-2/2010-PE-I dt. 03.02.2010.

I. Senior Postmaster 116 Posts

(Rs. 5200-20200 + Rs.2800 Gr. Pay)

3. The Recruitment Rules of the above stated grades have since been framed and notified.

All such cases may kindly be dealt with in accordance with these instructions and clarifications which inter-alia clearly envisage that the placement of officials in next higher scale/grade of pay are merely financial upgradations, granted to the officials on completion of 16 years and 26 years of qualifying services, respectively and not on the basis of their seniority. These financial upgradations are personal to the officials concerned and no stepping up of pay of the senior is admissible and/ or placement of the seniors at par with their juniors promoted under TBOP/BCR scheme is not permissible, in any case.

OF CASUAL LABOURERS IN THE LIGHT OF THE GUIDELINES
ON OUTSOURCING.

Attention of all concerned is invited to this Directorate`s OM No. 1-20/2008-PCC dated 24th Sept.,2009 containing revised duties of Multi Tasking Staff Group `C` and letter No. 1-10/2009-PCC dated 07th Sept. 2009 on guidelines and terms and conditions on outsourcing.

EXPECTED DA HIKE W.E.F. 1.1.2011

Central Government employees received 10% DA in addition to 35%
 earlier,which now stands at 45%.They got the payment as two months
arrears for July and August. DA for September was calculated in their
regular monthly payments.Through this hike, employees got an increase
of Rs700 to Rs900 in their monthly salaries. There was no such increase
before this.Let us see some of the reasons.

The main reason behind announcing DA is due to increase of prices in
essential commodities.’Labour Bureau’-which is under the Central
Government takes the statistics of the prices of essential commodities
in selected cities and this process is known as AICPIN -i.e.- All India
Consumer Price Index. DA is calculated only as per the AICPIN.

Regarding next instalment of DA which is to be announced from Jan 2011,
numerous speculations are pouring in. DA percentage will be calculated as
per the AICPIN from September 2010 to December 2010.Suppose the
AICPIN stands at 179 points or more,there are chances of getting 50%
DA from Jan 2011.

Any way let us assume that the DA will surely cross the 50% which
will enable increases in some allowances.

Children Education Allowance,Child Care Allowance,Washing Allowance,
Cycle Allowance,Cash Handling Allowance,Conveyance Allowance,Split
Duty Allowance will also be increased.

rate or 20% will be deducted on all transactions liable to
TDS, where the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the

tax at the higher rate in all transactions not having PAN of
the deductees on or after 1st April 2010. In order that there
is no dispute regarding quoting / non-quoting of PAN or
accuracy thereof, the law requires all deductees and dedutors
to quote PAN of deductees in all correspondences, bills,
vouchers and other documents sent to each other. All
deductors are, therefore, advised to intimate their deductees
to obtain and furnish their PAN so as to avoid TDS at a higher rate.
