To

The Secretary,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi- 110 001.

Subject:-  Framing of Department of Posts (Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant)       

                 Recruitment Rules, 2019 reg.

Ref. 1. Association letter No.AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/ Input/Suggestion on prevention of Fraud/2019 dated- 16.9.19.

Ref. 2. Association letter No.AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/AUDIT STATUS/2019 dated- 25.11.2019.

Ref. 3.  Association letter No. AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/Change of role of SBCO/2019 dated-2.12.2019.

Respected Sir,

                            Our Association has written many numbers of letters for maintaining separate identity of SBCO and not to merge with the General line PAs . Even in the Directorate meeting conducted on 17.1.2020, it was strongly emphasized by our Association that SBCO is an internal check organization and sensitive wing which is the watch dog of crores of public money and accounts of POSB category.

The policy of the Revised Recruitment Rules 2019 is against the control procedure laid for SBCO and against the SB order 2/2008 dated 4.2.2008, para 5 d (ii) in which it is clearly mentioned that “ No staff of SBCO will be utilized for any Postal operations.” Interchange of General line staff in place of PA SBCO will dilute the entire Audit and Accounts checking procedure and the frauds will be heaped.

 Already staff of all cadres are experiencing acute shortage due to the stagnation in recruitment process as a result of which frauds are increasing day by day and the innocent officials are being trapped under contributory negligence and many are not relieved to their requested offices of transfer.

Mostly, all the officials are already overburdened on the above issue. The only solution to address them  is conducting one time drive of recruitment by the Department of posts  and filling up all vacancies up to the sanctioned strength in all cases of SBCO. Still,  the Department intend to proceed with implementation of  the Revised Recruitment Rules 2019, it will create new problems that will affect the interest and efficiency of the employees.Finally, it is sincerely conveyed if our concerns are not given due consideration there may be chances of untoward consequences like scot-free frauds for which employees should not be put responsible.

                              If at all the Department wants to Merge the SBCO staff, let them be merged with the staff of Director of Postal (Accounts) and brought under the control of Accounts Officer, GM PA&F.  No matter even if the DPA is to be Decentralized , let the SBCO staff , cadre who were already decentralized may work along with the staff of DPA under the control of the Accounts Officer . As already in all the previous letters of our Association , the identical work nature of SBCO and DPA were explained in detail and that both wings were bifurcated from the AG P & T only.

                            Our Association once again requests your honourable self that SBCO may be maintained as such with a separate identity and nomenclature, assigning a new redefined role according to the present scenario or be merged with DPA under the control of the Accounts Officer and decentralized along with DPA.

With Regards,

                -Sd-
