AIPAEA/CHQ/Circular/9/2018 Dated 19-09-2018
Dear
Comrades,
Festive
and seasonal greetings to all Comrades, as you are aware that several changes
are undergoing in the Department in the name of modernization and
digitalization. Department is pursuing its own agenda and policies vigorously
without assessing the ground reality. Sudden changing of draft RR of AAO Cadre
which was placed on the Official website in March 2017 with the approval by
DOP&T, and thereby snatching away the already existing component of SCF
Promotions, hasty implementation of CSI without proper training and basic
infrastructure in almost all circles, launching of India Post Payment Bank are
some of the examples. Demands and issues of staff have been given a go bye, by
the Departments. Baring the month of May in which I had an accident almost
every week, I visited Directorate and took up the issues of staff &
problems faced by various PAOs. Department moved ahead ignoring our genuine
demand for modifications in RR of AAO Cadre and conducted the AAO examination
for 1010 posts. General Secretary along with President S.Santosh Kumar and
Finance Secretary K.S. Rana, met Sr. DDG (PAF), Advisor, DDG (Finance),
Director, and ADG (Admn); and discussed on modifications sought by AIPAEA on
the RR of AAO Cadre.
Issues like forwarding of applications for transfer under
Rules 38, local recruitment, non sanction of Medical advance at Nagpur PAO,
problems faced by PAO staff in CSI, reversal of stepping up of pay by reopening
already settled cases at PAOs Bhopal and Hyderabad etc were also taken up
vigorously by CHQ through discussions. Many letters were also written by the
General Secretary on these issues.
The General Secretary also participated in the
following programmes and organizational activities.
I) General Secretary attended the
federal executive meeting of NFPE held on 16.05.2018.
II) Attended the AIC of R3 Union at
Ghaziabad from 23.05.2018 to 25.05.2018.
III) NPS convention at Hyderabad on
10.06.2018 by Confederation, 6 delegates from CHQ attended the NPS convention.
IV) Federal Secretariat meeting of
NFPE, held at New Delhi on 30.08.2018.
National Executive Committee meeting of AIPAEA:-
It was
held at Bangalore on 19.07.2018, and on the following day i.e. 20.07.2018, a
grand farewell was accorded to Con. N. Veeresh, Working President, CHQ who was
to retire on 31.07.2018. Meeting was well organized by Bangalore units.
Chennai, Trivandrum, Hyderabad, Patna, Lucknow, Kapurthala units attended the
meeting. Our Ex General Secretaries - Com. P. Rajanayagam & Com. T.
Satyanarayana; former Working Presidents Com. R.S. Baghel & Com Shivanna; all
former Circle Secretaries/Office bearers/leaders from Bangalore attended the
programme. In the National Executive meeting discussions were mainly focused on
modification sought in RR of AAO Cadre, CSI implementation and problems faced
there off, Cadre-restructure, Rule-38 transfers. Ex General Secretaries Com.
TSN and Com. Rajanaygam, placed their views elaborately and gave suggestive
measures to be taken up along with agitational programmes. Com R.S. Baghel
assured his full support to AIPAEA in future struggles.
Com. Veeresh, Com. Dominic, Com. R.B.Suresh, Com. D.
Narshima Murthi, spoke on CSI related issues/problems faced in their Circles. Other
Circle Secretaries/ Office bearers also placed their view points on various
issues/problems faced in their Circles.
Updates on Various Issues:-
1) AAO Examination was held in July
2018. Results are to be declared only after vacation of stay by the CAT
Hyderabad. Though the case initially filed at CAT Kolkatta has since been
transferred to PrCAT Delhi and stands disposed off with directions, the stay
ordered by CAT Hyderabad is not yet vacated.
2) Cadre Restructuring: The Authorities are trying to put the issue
on hold by citing the reason that the other Union has not given their response
on the queries raised by the Finance Ministry.
3) New transfer policy guidelines
have been issued in which residency period for transfer under Rule-38 has been
reduced to 2 years from 5 years.
4)
Formation of PAO at Dehradun has been
cleared by the CPMG, Uttrarakhand and the new PAO is expected to be opened in a
couple of months. The process of identifying accomodation is underway for
opening of PAO at Vijayawada also.
5) Status of Court
Cases:
a) Sorter/ Group ‘D’ stepping up case

d) Transfer petition of Hyderabad
case on RR of AAO has been posted on 28.09.2018.
In the matter of recovery of pay due to reversal of
stepping up of pay by reopening already settled cases at PAOs Bhopal and
Hyderabad, the concerned Authorities called to the Directorate on 03.08.2018
and were suitably instructed to abide by the clarifications issued by the PA
Wing. But these PAOs are still defying the instructions given by Directorate. Though
the GM Hyderabad was again called to Directorate on 17.09.2018 for resolving
the issue in our presence, nobody turned up.
Periodical meeting of Association with Sr DDG was
held on 17.09.2018. In addition to the 7 old pending items, the following 3 new
agenda items were discussed:-
1.
Problems
faced by PAO on implementation of CSI
2.
Modifications
in the RR of AAO and
3.
Formation of New
PAOs at Dehradun and Vijayawada.
Shocking news came on 30.08.2018 that our legendary
leader and former Secretary General of AIPAEA, Com. D.V. Dhaktod ji is no more,
it come as a big blow to the Postal Accounts Comrades. He was a shining link with our glorious
legacy of P&T Audit and Accounts Association, a militant wing of the Indian
Audit and Accounts movement. He played a pivotal role as Secretary General in
the formative period, and was instrumental in forming of JAC of Audit and
Accounts along with Com. S. K. Vyas ji. Till now, he attended CWC and A.I.C. of
our Association and guided us. He was instrumental in formation of Postal
Accounts Pensioners Association (PAPA). His demise is a great loss to all of
us. Condolences were held in all PAOs on 31.08.2018. CHQ, dips its banner in
honor of our great leader, and expresses its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved
family members.
March to Parliament:
On 05.09.2018, there was a massive march to parliament
on the call of Confederation and Central trade Unions. About 20 Comrades of
AIPAEA from 6 Circles participated in the march.
23rd A.I.C. of AIPAEA:
The 23rd AIC of our Association will be
held at Kolkatta from 27.11.2018 to 29.11.2018. Host unit has, formed the
Reception committee and are working hard to hold in an efficient manner. They
have already booked the venue and accommodation. All the units are requested to
book their tickets to and fro Kolkatta and inform the number
delegates/observers from their Unit & their travel itinerary to Kolkatta
Comrades.
Remittance of CHQ Quota:
All the Circles are requested to remit their due
Quota for CHQ, prior to the All India Conference and also the legal fund as was
decided in Nagpur CWC.
We have to be
prepared for agitational programme’s in the coming days, as new schemes and
policies are being implemented by the Department without providing adequate
basic infra structure and training. Gear up to make the one day Nationwide Strike
on 15.11.2018 in support of scrapping of NPS and 9 other Charter of Demands a
grand success.
Comradely
Yours,
--Sd--
(S.B.
Yadav)
General Secretary
