Respected Sir,

Here is a proposal of merger of Inspector and Asst. Supdt Cadre into one with Grade Pay 4600/- under consideration of the department. Department wants consent of Postal officers Association and All India Association of Inspector and Asst Supdts.

I have discussed with Sh. S. Samuel General Secretary of Inspector and Asst Supdt. who is against the merger and that Association wants Grade pay 4600 for Inspector, 4800 Grade Pay for ASPOs and 5400 Grade Pay in PB-2 for PS Group B w.e.f. 01-01-2006.

Postal officers Association Core committee is likely to meet in New Delhi on 25-12-2009 for consideration of different views and to take some decision.

You are requested to consider following and e-mail your considered views.

1) Whether you are in favour of merger, if yes.
2) Whether IPOs + ASPOs should be merged or ASPOs + PS Group B
should be merged.
3) What should be the consequences of the merger and what would
be the solution there of.
4) What grade pay should be for IPO/ASPO/PS Group B/ JTS etc
5) Any other additional information, which is considered essential?

The matter is very much crucial. Please consult your fellow members in depth and e- mail your reply latest by 24th any time so that the same may be taken into account
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Sub:Organising next CWC upto the end of Nov,09-come forward volunteerly
Sir,
Next CWC has become due.Last all India Conference(22nd) was organized by UP circle at Varansi followed by cwc at Meerut in 2008 and 2009 March respectively.I have requested many our office bearers but no body is coming forward to organize next CWC.Upto Nov. last the cold wheather will be quite tolerable.Thereafter in Dec and Jan will be too cold. Hence it is better to finish this task in Nov.itself.Because there will be too cold season in northern India, it advised to come forward volunteers from Middle or south part of the country.
It is therefore humbly requested to each and every office bearer and member of this association to consult their friends/circle body members/office bearers etc and come forward volunteerly for next CWC except Maharastra circle where next 23rd All India Conference is like to be organized in May/June2010.The voluntary offers must reach the CHQ by e-mail cited above before 1st Nov,2009 so that a solid decision can be taken and notification issued well in advance. Please treat this as most urgent and need not to look towards the face of others.It is time to devote for the organization.
Thanks with regards in anticipation of lot of offers

Respected Sir,
This Association has been approaching and writing on the subject cited above vide no. even dtd. 15.09.08 and 05.12.08 etc from time to time because the officers posted outside their home Circles to far away Circles on their approval are badly suffering.
Some of our officers belonging to Rajasthan Circle are working in Punjab Circle, which is a Punjabi speaking area. Similarly some other officers are also in same queue. Despite available vacancies in said cadre in their Circles they are awaiting eagerly their re-allotment. They are naturally frustrated as their juniors are officiating against these vacancies. Written request of these officers are already available in Postal Directorate.
It is, therefore, requested to kindly consider all the pending requests of P.S.Group B Officers and J.T.S. Officers in positive and issue their repatriation order earliest possible. With one copy to this Association.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours Sincerely,

C W C met on 14th and 15th March 2009 in Meerut City of U P Circle

The All India CWC was held at Meerut on 14th and 15th March 2009. Members from only 7 circles attended the meeting. They are AP, Tamilnadu, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka Maharashtra and UP.

The meeting was held under the chairmanship of Sri K.C.Bharadwaj, Asst.President. It was informed that Mr. N.V.Sutar, the President was not doing well and hence could not attend the meeting.The CWC is critical about the scant regard given by the Directorate for the representations from the General Secretary. The fate of the representations dtd. 17.04.08, 09.09.08 and 07.11.08 of the General Secretary on the anomalies on 6th CPC is not known. The receipt of the representations was not acknowledged, nor any tangible action taken. It was therefore decided to elicit information from the Directorate thro' RTI Act.

It was also decided to write to the CPIO, Ministry of Finance to call for the record and the authority on the basis of which the scale of the pre-revised scale of the Postal Superintendent was mentioned as Rs.6,500-10,500 etc.There is abnormal delay in conducting DPCs for Group-B and above cadres. As such it is also decided in the CWC to call for the year-wise vacancy position, due date of DPC, actual date of DPC and date of release of select panel during the last 10 years.As per the orders of the Dept. of Personnel and Training a reserve panel of the approved officers is required to be maintained. Non-preparation of the reserve panel results in retirement of senior officers getting promotion in the last years of their service. The Directorate is also being questioned on this thro' RTI Act 2005.

The discriminatory order contemplating transfer of Group A officers who are left with 8 years of service was discussed. It has been decided that the legality of the order is questionable and that the GS., may take legal opinion and proceed further.The GS will be meeting the Secretary Posts shortly and another Bulletin will be issued shortly.
