 Respected Sir,

 Sub:  Letter regarding merger order- Reg…

 Ref: 1. Directorate letter No. Q-25/11/2022-PE-I-DOP dated 16.11.2022.

        2. AIPSBCOEA CHQ Letter  Nos. AIPSBCOEA/Merger of PA(SBCO) with PA(PO)/2022 dated   

             21.11.2022, 06.12.2022 & 20.12.2022.

                 On behalf of the All India Postal SBCO Employees Association CHQ, a reminder for the suggestions with regard to the above mentioned Directorate’s order of merger is sent for issuance of favorable orders please.

         It is requested to issue instructions to all the circles to consider all the inter and intra circle transfer requests of SBCO officials which are pending within a cut-off date and posted to their home circles/divisions as a one- time measure.

For officials who remain in SBCO:

Suggestions:

        After PA(SBCO) opt for PA(PO) all the officials who remain in SBCO shall be given one time option to choose the place of posting in SBCO and establish themselves, by initiating the rotational transfer for the year 2023 by January ‘2023 itself so that in future all the PAs(SBCO) will have a chance to get rotated among themselves and have places as per their choices for transfer/posting , after which the remaining vacant posts in SBCO may be added to the Postal Divisions. This will also be a consideration of all the request transfer cases pending among the SBCO officials within the circle. Otherwise the officials who will remain in SBCO and whose request transfers are pending will not have a chance of getting their place of choice.

The posts which fall vacant in SBCO due to merger with PA(PO) and already vacant which will be shown in the SBCO establishment as per the Directorate order may also be notified by RO/CO as usual for transfer/posting of the PA(SBCO) first and then the remaining posts may be filled by the divisional head.

                                                         

I.                    General suggestions: 

 1.       The future of the LSG/HSG officials is yet to be clarified.

 2.       The In charge posts of SBCO may be identified and filled only by the SBCO officials who do not opt for PA (PO).

 3.     No reply is yet received for the Association’s demand for changing the control of SBCO officials to GM PA&F. A letter regarding change of control of the SBCO officials to GM PA&F was already sent vide letter No  AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/Proposal for change of control of SBCO to GM PA & F/2022 Dt: 26.12.2022. Now some of the Circles have called for willingness of officials to work at the O/o the GM(PA&F) on deputation basis : for instance Letter No.STC/36-160/21 dated at Chennai 600 002 the 12.01.2023 issued by the O/o the CPMG, Tamil Nadu Circle, Chennai 600 002. Our Association is demanding that all the SBCO officials may be brought under the control of GM PA&F and are willing to perform the works expected to be done by the Postal accounts officials after decentralization as the staff of PAO are unwilling for decentralization. We SBCO officials are already decentralized and our works are similar in nature with that done by the PAO officials, hence all the SBCO officials may be brought under the control of GM PA&F not only to meet the long pending demand of the Association but also to fulfill the staff shortage experienced in all the PAOs and strengthen the Accounts and Audit of the Department of Posts.

 4.       Cadre restructuring is to be done immediately to give a chance of promotion to the officials who will remain in SBCO before effecting the merger order. The PA (PO) officials have already got cadre restructuring benefit since 2017 but the SBCO officials with the same date of appointment of the PA (PO) have not yet received their LSG promotions and already facing monetary loss since 2017 due to non availability of LSG/HSG posts in SBCO. This will also fasten the process of reducing the PA(SBCO) cadre as those will be upgraded into LSG posts.

 5.    One time relaxation of the RRs of the HSG II, HSG I &  HSG I (NFG) may be given to fill all the Supervisory posts lying vacant in SBCO units.

 A line of reply is highly solicited.

 With regards,                                                                                                            -Sd-                                                                                                                                         / SHP Jasmine Jalal Begam /

  Respected Sir,

                          On behalf of All India Postal SBCO Employees Association, a kind attention is invited towards the references and the subject cited above to bring SBCO under the control of GM PA & F.

           This Association would like to focus on the decentralization of the PAOs. As the staff of PAOs are not in favor of decentralization, I would like to express the willingness of the SBCO officials who are already established at the Head Post Offices level to perform the works to be assigned to the PAO staff after decentralization under the control of the concerned AO/GM PA&F. This will be very much apt, as both SBCO and PAO were bifurcated from the same parent organization AG P&T during 1960 and 1976 respectively as detailed above.  Both the wings are performing the same nature of Audit work, interlinked with each other in every way. SBCO is functioning at Hos and performing the checking and auditing work on behalf of PAO only.

                   The SBCO officials may kindly be brought under the Control of GM PA & F which is our long pending demand. This will fulfill the staff shortage in PAOs and ease the process of decentralization as already the SBCO officials are established at all HPOs. Moreover, works related to POSB accounts (all SB Categories) including reconciliation is being allotted to and done by the SBCO officials on behalf of DAP. The SBCO officials are ready to take up any such works which is expected to be done by the officials of PAO after decentralization under the Control of GM PA & F.

                     No reply is yet received for the Association’s demand for changing the control of SBCO officials to GM PA&F. A letter regarding change of control of the SBCO officials to GM PA&F was already sent vide letter No  AIPSBCOEA/CHQ/Proposal for change of control of SBCO to GM PA & F/2022 Dt: 26.12.2022. Now some of the Circles have called for willingness of officials to work at the O/o the GM(PA&F) on deputation basis : for instance Letter No.STC/36-160/21 dated at Chennai 600 002 the 12.01.2023 issued by the O/o the CPMG, Tamil Nadu Circle, Chennai 600 002. Our Association is demanding that all the SBCO officials may be brought under the control of GM PA&F and are willing to perform the works expected to be done by the Postal accounts officials after decentralization as the staff of PAO are unwilling for decentralization. We SBCO officials are already decentralized and our works are similar in nature with that done by the PAO officials, hence all the SBCO officials may be brought under the control of GM PA&F not only to meet the long pending demand of the Association but also to fulfill the staff shortage experienced in all the PAOs and strengthen the Accounts and Audit of the Department of Posts.

                  Hence, on behalf of All India Postal SBCO Employees Association, it is once again requested to bring SBCO under the control of GM PA & F not only to pave way for augmentation of Audit and Accounts but also for the amelioration of the Department.

 A line of reply is solicited please.
