No.Org/ 5 dated at Kovilpatti 628501, the 20-06-2012

The Sr.Supdt. Of Post Offices,

Kovilpatti Division,

Kovilpatti 628501.

Sir,

          Sub: Appointment against GDS Posts on observing all formalities

                   Attached therewith – regarding.

         

          We bring the following to the kind notice of the SSPOs with the request for taking an appropriate early remedial action.

2.       After observing all formalities in regard to recruitment / regular appointment processes, GDS Posts are, on getting approval from Regional Office, filled up, whereas the GDS incumbents so selected and appointed against the posts are denied the following benefits accrued thereon and entitled to them on their regular appointments in Kovilpatti Division in disregard of the DG (P)’s orders in this regard.  (Ref: DG (P) No.6-1/2009 PE II dt 9-10-2009 communicated in the PMG SR Madurai 625002 letter No.EST/121-121/s (o) Pt dt 12-10-2009)

            1. Bonus

            2. Leave with pay

            3. Annual increase of Pay

            4. Counting of service for purpose of appearing promotional examination and retiral benefits.

3.         Restriction imposed by the DGP is that fitment of TRCA for new entrants / appointees should be minimum stage of the TRCA scale that had been permitted to predecessor GDS who vacated the post and revision of TRCA for new entrants should be under, taken on lapse of one year after ensuring that the GDS is continuously working against the post, based on work load statistics collected afresh.

                                                

4.          Thus new appointees are treated “Provisional appointees “by the DDOs (Head Postmasters) for fitment of their TRCA in this regard and such restriction of the DG (P) is not for freezing their entitlements such as bonus, annual increase of Pay, Leave etc., misinterpreting the DG(P)”s orders in this regard otherwise and depriving those legitimate benefits by the reason of their regular appointments that abide by all formalities including furnishing security etc.  prescribed thereon.

5.1        The cases of non drawal of annual increase of pay even after rendering a service of one year to the new appointees by the DDO are noticed on the pretext that minimum stage of TRCA of such appointees would be reviewed and refixed after one year by the Divisional Head.

5.2       Cases of non drawal of Bonus for several years in our division to new appointees are also noticed as the Divisional Office did not come forward to review their work load and revise their TRCA immediately on lapse of one year, as is prescribed in the DOP’s orders, and as such they were being treated to be provisional appointees by the DDO’s (HOs) for subsequent years too.  The Sub Appointing Authorities have also erred in making appointments of new recruits regular to facilitate drawal of bonus to the GDS.  GDS BPM, Iluppaiyurani BO is precise example of this type who fell victim for years.

          Thus high exploitation in extending benefits and concessions to the new recruits prevails in our division by erroneously apprehending / treating them “Provisional Appointees” for years together nullifying the spirit of the DG(P) orders in this respect.

6.       Kindly find herewith an appointment order issued by Sub Divisional Head (ie) ASPOs, Kovilpatti West Sub Division with respect to the post of GDS MD/MC, Iluppaiyurani GDS BO in account with Lakshmipuram SO under the jurisdiction of Kovilpatti HO in favour of one Shri.Alagarsamy. R.,   We appreciate the appointment order which spelt out in clear term that the appointment of the said GDS candidate, Shri.R. Alagarsamy is regular from the date of entry thereby creating no hurdle for drawal of those benefits and concessions in respect Bonus, Annual Increase of Pay, Leave etc.,

                                                -2-

7.       We would therefore request the SSPOs to consider all above and arrange to issue appointment orders on regular basis for large number of GDS of this type as are detailed in the Annexure enclosed and not to let them continue to be deprived a lot in this regard further more.

                                   Awaiting your kind early response.

DA: Annexure 1   

                                     

                                      Yours faithfully,
