Sub:- Autocratic functioning of GM(Finance) Postal Accounts,
            Chennai – En masse issue of Charge sheets to the Staff –
            Immediate intervention – Request – Reg.

Respected Madam,

I would like to invite your kind attention to the plight of the Chennai PAO Staff under the undemocratic and autocratic functioning of the GM (Finance, Postal Accounts). It is shocking to know that about 100 employees working in PA sections have been served with charge sheets under Rule 16 of CCS (CCA) Rules. This en masse punitive action on the dictate of the GM (Finance) violates all canons of administrative prudence and justice. The employees are on agitation over this issue. The Saving Gram signed by AIPAEA and BPAOEA, Chennai and sent to you is enclosed for your ready reference.

The Staff working in the PA sections have been asked after completing the Classified Abstract in PA sections to go and feed the Circle Abstract in Book section in addition to the compilation work in PA sections. This diktat was issued in the month of February 2014 i.e. fag end of the closure of the Financial Year. This changeover was never discussed with the Staff Side. No thought was given to the adequacy of the infrastructure; never bothered to impart adequate training to the Staff in COMPACT; no efforts were made to motivate the Staff and of course, it is the least priority for the GM (Finance).

The Staff Side pleaded with her not to insist to change the working system at the fag end of the Financial Year and they are ready to cooperate with her to adopt to the new work pattern in the new Financial Year and they requested her to provide sufficient systems and training so that the change over can be brought smoothly. But, all the pleadings went in vain.

The pen chant of the GM (Finance) Chennai to run the roughshod is well known. The specific clarifications issued by the PA Wing on the forwarding of applications were treated with all the disrespect and not followed leading to the ruination of the careers of the employees who wish to appear for the competitive examinations.

In another latest incident, the GM (Finance) ordered recovery of TA/DA of the entire IA party as; the report of the IA party is not to the liking of the GM (Finance). This is the first time in the annals of the IA parties to face such ignominy in the hands of the Head of the Office. The responsibility as the Head of the Office to strengthen the IA parties by providing full pledged teams, by imparting periodical training and by providing the latest Rulings on the subject are never felt. But, to punish and humiliate is the instantaneous reaction from the GM (Finance).

After lifting the ban on recruitment in the year 2009, the Chennai PAO has not filled up the vacancies. The office of Staff Selection Commission is situated in Chennai itself. Yet, no intensive efforts are there to get the new recruits. On the other hand, strangely the LDC dossiers received from SSC were returned back on flimsy grounds.

Impulsive decisions of the GM (Finance) made the Administration casualty. The present act of issuing charge sheets en masse, itself proves the administrative failure of the GM (Finance), Chennai PAO. Lack of democratic content in the decision making will harm the interests of the Organization, especially at this point of time when the Department is at the threshold of technological changes.

Hence, I am to request your immediate intervention to undo the injustice caused to the employees and to bring back the congenial atmosphere by restoring the employer and employee relationship.

With Regards,

Yours faithfully,

(T.SATYANARAYANA)

General Secretary
