All Heads of Postal Circle

Subject: - Counting of adhoc services rendered by Reserve Trained Pool (RTP) PAs/SAs for promotion.

Sir,I am directed to enclose herewith a copy of letter No.P/1-1/AIC, dated 29.12.2010 addressed to Hon’ble MOS (C&IT) (K) by the General Secretary, All India Postal Employees Union Group ‘C’, New Delhi on the above subject.2. It may be stated that Department of Posts had introduced a scheme in the year 1983 to enable candidates from the Reserve Training Pool (RTP) of Postal Assistants (PAs)/Sorting Assistants (SAs) to opt for service in Army Postal Service (APS). After having been brought on the RTP, they were appointed for a short period as PA/SA on adhoc basis and then deputed to the APS. The RTP candidates deputed to APS were eligible to get the benefit of regular appointment in the Civil Post from the date their immediate junior was appointed on a regular basis in the Civil Post. RTP scheme has since been abolished w.e.f 04.03.86.Hon’ble Supreme Court in C.A. No. 5739 of 2005 in the case of UOI Vs. Shri. Mathivanan vide their judgment dated 09.06.2006 had held that adhoc service rendered in APS should be counted for the purpose of grant of financial upgradation under TBOP scheme. Keeping in view the Apex court’s decision in M. Mathivanan’s case and the fact that TBOP is not to be granted on the basis of seniority it was decided to extend the benefit of the Apex court’s order to similarly placed serving officials vide Directorate’s letter No. 93-25/2003-SPB-II dated 26.07.2010.The Service Association in their letter under reference has stated that existing regular PAs/SAs who were earlier retained in the RTP and appointed on ad-hoc basis in the Circles had approached Hon’ble CAT and their adhoc service has been counted as regular service for all purposes. Thus, they have demanded to extend the same benefit to similarly placed persons. In this connection, the circles are requested to furnish the following:(a) No. of officials retained by the Circle under RTP scheme and the after appointed as PA/SA on ad-hoc basis.(b) No. of such ad-hoc officials who were thereafter appointed as PA/SA on regular basis and (i) retained in the Circles as such and (ii) deputed in APS.(c) Whether any of such PA/SA appointed after rendering ad-hoc service and regularized and retained in the Circle itself has approached Hon’ble CAT for regularization of their ad-hoc service?(d) If so, number of such PA/SA regularized may be intimated and(e) Copies of the Court’s orders, CO order implementing these court orders along with letter number of Directorate under which approval has been obtained by the Circle for implementation of the Court’s orders may be furnished to the Directorate.Encl: As above

CHQ R-III WRITES TO SECRETARY (POSTS) ON NSPC HUBS

No. R-III/25-31/2011

To

Secretary

Department of Posts

Dak Bhaewan,

New Delhi-110116

Subject:-. Creation of NSPC Hubs.

No. R-III/25-31/2011 Dated 21-01-2011

Respected Madam,

` It has been reported by the Circle Secretaries of many Circles that creation of National Speed Post Centre Hubs are not only creating problems for staff but also causing unnecessary delay to the Speed Post Articles.

Speed Post is a premium service of the Department of Post and this is the only service where Department was feeling honour by its delivery in time and this is also the only service which is giving earning profit. But the creation of NSPC Hubs are putting break on its delivery in time. Delay in delivery of Speed Post Articles will shake the confidence of the public in this service.

Reports received some Circle Secretaries revealed as under:-

Karnataka Circle:- 4 NSPC Hubs have been created in Karnataka Circle. A Speed Post article booked at Hassan for delivery at Hassan itself is first routed to Mysore NSPC where it is processed and back routed to Hassan for delivery. Had it been processed at Hassan RMS it would have been delivered on the next day but now it is delivered after more than 48 hrs.

A Speed Post Article booked in Chikmaglur meant for delivery in the district itself is first dispatched to Birur RMS from where it is dispatched to Davangere NSPC Hub in the night. After processing at NSPC Davangere it is back routed to Barur RMS on next day from where it is dispatched for delivery to its destination.
Speed Post Article which was being delivered within 24/48 hrs is now being delivered even after 72 hrs.

Andhra Circle:-6 NSPC Hubs have been opened in Andhra Circle. With the opening of these Hubs now Speed Post Articles are being delivered in D+4 while earlier these were being delivered within D+1. These Hubs are causing delay to the Speed Post Articles.
Creation of NSPC Hubs is causing unnecessary double handling resulting in shortage of staff, wastage of time, back routing of Speed Post Articles causing delay to the Speed Post Articles.

This Unions urges upon you to kindly re-examine this issue of creation of NSPC Hubs and requests to revert to the previous system so that Speed Post Articles are delivered in time and we may be able to keep the confidence of the public in Speed Post.

With Regards.

Yours sincerely,

(Giri Raj Singh)

General Secretary
