Respected Madam,
I would like to
humbly submit that the PA Wing has conveyed to this Association vide the letter
under reference 5 that the Cadre Restructuring proposal “cannot be considered
again on the grounds that the clarification, as sought therein with regard to
live posts of DEO and Sorter cadre cannot be accommodated since the sorter
cadre has since been declared defunct and DEO cadre pertains to PAO Chennai
only.” It is unfortunate that the recommendations of the Committee headed by
DDG (PAF) concurred by the JS&FA and approved by the Secretary (P) has been
negated instead of strongly justifying the grounds on which the proposal has
been sent to DOP&T. It is stranger that the minutes issued to the PJCA
conveyed a different impression all the time. The letter (u/r 5) has never
reached this Association until the DDG (PAF) is kind enough to hand over a copy
on
30-04-2015 during the PJCA meeting.
I strongly urge your good-self to cause immediate
action to initiate necessary action to fully justify the recommendations of the
Department of Posts on the Cadre Restructuring of the PAOs and pursue the issue
at DOP&T.
With Regards,
Yours faithfully,
(T. SATYANARAYANA)
General Secretary
Copy to:
1. DDG (PAF) with a request to hold the meeting of the
Cadre restructuring Committee at the earliest to discuss the letter u/r no.5
and to take urgent remedial measurers to expedite the approval of the Cadre Restructuring
as assured in the PJCA meeting.
2. Director (SR & Legal) for information and
necessary action.
3. Secretary General, NFPE, New Delhi for information and
taking immediate necessary action.
4. Convener, PJCA for information and necessary action.

Regarding.
Ref:- No.
2(5)/09/PA-Admn.I / 497 / PA Wing dated 18-07-2014.
Sir,
The
views of this Association on the points raised by the nodal Ministry are
furnished below. Before answering the specific points, I would like to emphasis
the point that for the decades together no cadre restructuring or review in the
Postal Accounts has been undertaken. The 6th Central Pay Commission
has left this task to Ministries and Departments concerned. As this important
aspect is overlooked for such a long time, an element of stagnation, a gap in
the skill levels required and a general sense of alienation from the
Organization have crept in among the lower cadres. To remedy this and make the
cadres relevant to the present and future functional requirements, this cadre
review has been mooted.
Point (i): The Cadre restructuring
proposals are formulated with the participation of the Service Association.
While drafting the proposals the parameters like expected changes in the Organization’s
activities, proposed automation, changes in the business activities of the
Department of Posts, future recruitment requirements, the need to plug the
existing gaps in the skills required, stagnation and career progression and
financial implications are taken into account. It is proposed to amalgamate the
existing cadres of Sorter, LDC and DEO and create a new grade with the
nomenclature of Accounts Assistant with the Grade Pay of Rs.2400. In fact, the
DEO cadre with GP of Rs. 2400 exists in all the Organized Accounts Departments.
In the Postal Accounts the DEO cadre exists in Chennai PAO only. The proposed
grade is not new in the sense that it already exists in the Organized Accounts
and the same was proposed with the change in the nomenclature keeping in view
the duties involved in the Organization.
Point (ii): Financial implications are
the matter of calculations. The Department can work on that.
Point (iii): Department can take the
required approvals.
Point (iv): DEO cadre exists only in Chennai PAO. The
background for creation of this cadre may be impressed. Same Recruitment Rules
in other Organized Accounts can be adopted with the change in the nomenclature.
Point (v): Desired information may
please be furnished.
Point (vi): The post proposed is in
PB-I, G.P. of Rs. 2400 (equal to DEO ) nomenclature as Accounts Assistant. The
promotional hierarchy is Junior Accountant and Senior Accountant as per the
existing Recruitment Rules. Accounts Assistant is the feeder cadre to Junior
Accountant. Mode of Recruitment is through Department Examination and Staff Selection
Commission.
Point (vii):
Discrepancies can be corrected.
Point (viii): Para 4 & Para 5 of
Memorandum on Cadre restructuring amplifies the point. Functional justification
in view of the CSI, CBS and other ongoing modernization projects in the Department
of Posts including the switching over to the Accrual Accounts has to be
reiterated by providing latest inputs in this regard.
Point (viii) (b): The existing
hierarchy of Sorter, LDC and DEO may be provided.
Point (viii)©: It is to intimate that similar
restructuring is being proposed by the Departments in the Organized Accounts
and IA&AD.
Point (viii)(d): The DEOs in Chennai
are functioning in ex-cadre posts. They are being treated, as LDCs. Hence there
will be no problem in integration. Otherwise also the DEOs would be integrated
in the restructured Accounts Assistant on the basis of their date of joining
the posts as would apply also for LDCs and Sorters and therefore, it shall not
pose any adverse impact. There is such precedence in the Postal Department
regarding merger of LDC and UDC s of Circle and SBICO offices into Postal Assistant
Cadres.
In
view of above submissions, I request you to cause immediate action to get the
approval of Cadre restructuring proposals by the nodal Ministry. For this
purpose, as suggested in UO dated 18-03-2014 a senior officer may please be
deputed to thrash out the contentious issues.
With
Regards,
Yours
faithfully,
(T.SATYANARAYANA)
