Resolution to be sent to Authorities after holding first day of demonstration on 09.12.2019

RESOLUTION

            The General Body Meeting of this Association held on 09.12.2019 unanimously resolves to express its deep concern and strong protest over the reported move of the Department of Posts to decentralize the Postal Accounts.

            In this connection it is to bring to your kind notice that in the year 1987 it was experimented by placing the Postal Accounts personnel at H.O. level. That experiment was withdrawn later as the same was not successful. The Postal Board on many occasions has assured that the Postal Accounts will not be decentralized. With the advent of modern information technology in the Department of Posts, the need for any such physical deployment of Accounts personnel is obliterated. The Accounting work  of the Department can very well be managed and taken care of the by the employees and officers at the office of DAPs/GMs (F) under the guidance of PA Wing. This would help maintain effective monitoring as well as co-ordination of Accounting and Auditing activities under the supervision of Account and Finance officers. It is also not out of place to submit that the decision to decentralize the Postal Accounts has been taken at the back of the Staff Side. The Staff Side has insisted several times to spell out the role of the Postal Accounts in the CSI environment. But, the Staff Side has never been taken into confidence. Now, suddenly it is learnt that the Department is seriously considering the proposal to decentralize the Postal Accounts by deploying the Checkers in the Head Post Offices / Divisional Offices.

This General Body strongly objects to this unilateral & arbitrary action and earnestly appeals to the Secretary (Posts) to kindly issue necessary favourable orders to stop any proposed move to decentralize the Postal Accounts as it is neither in the interest of the Department nor is it beneficial or acceptable to the officials of Postal Accounts Offices. It is also earnestly urged upon the Secretary (Posts) to cause action for dialogue with Staff side with blue print of the role of Postal Accounts in the CSI environment so as to strengthen the Accounting functions and fiscal control in conformity with the Constitutional provision of probity and transparency in Public Expenditure.
