DECENTRALIZATION OF PLI/RPLI.

 

 

No.PF-42/2011                                      Dated: 19^th July, 2011

 

To

            Ms Radhika Doraiswamy

            Secretary,

            Department of Posts,

            Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110116

 

Sub: Decentralization of PLI/RPLI.

 

Ref:      Discussion held on 1.7.2011.

 

Madam,

 

            This is regarding the minutes of the meeting taken by CGM PLI with Postal Joint Council of Action comprising AIPAOEU, Gr-'C' & Gr-'D' (NFPE) and AIPAOA (FNPO) representing Circle Administrative Offices.

 

            The meeting was held on 01/07/2011. There were two issues, (1) Stop decentralization of PLI & RPLI and ensure status quo (2) save DPLI office of Kolkata and ensure job security of staff of DPLI, Kolkata.

 

It is reported that Staff sides views for decentralization in respect of RPLI to the extent of acceptance of proposals, issuance of Premium Receipt Books & Policy documents and centralization of those items of work for PLI were misinterpreted in the minutes.

 

While, the minutes of the meeting held on 01/07/2011 was issued on 14/07/2011, a DO letter bearing no-25-1/2011-11 dated 06/07/2011 decentralizing the works of maturity claims upto Rs 5 Lakhs, sanctioning of Loans and Revival of policies to the divisions, have taken us all by surprise. Unfortunately, no information was given on that score in that meeting. Strangely enough no iota of information regarding the steps already taken through the gazette notification dated 28/04/2011 and corrigendum dated 25/05/2011 was given to the staff side. In the entire meeting the focal point of discussion of the staff side was for centralization of PLI proposal acceptance and issuance of policy documents works in COs/ROs. After sales Services were never declared as already decentralized in the said meeting, rather, it was reiterated by the CGM PLI that the after sales services for PLI/RPLI are being done by the COs/ROs.

 

With the strength of that order, we understand some Circle Heads are acting in a hectic manner and already ordered for closure of after sales services works in COs/ROs, and calculating the surplus number of staff in COs/ROs.

 

In view of the above,  you are requested to arrange for holding a review meeting with both the unions and till such time the order circulated through DO letter bearing No-25-1/2011-11 dtd 06/07/2011 may be kept in abeyance.

 

            With regards

Yours sincerely

 

 

( M.Krishnan)

Secretary General, NFPE

POSTING OF SUB POSTMASTERS IN SINGLE HANDED AND DOUBLE HANDED SUB POST OFFICE –REG.

 

 D.G. Posts No. 37-56/2008-SPB.II dated 15 July, 2011. (Addressed to CPMG UP Circle and copy to all recognized Service Unions/Federations)

 

            I am directed to refer to yours suggestion that instructions similar to those already issued by the Circler may be issued at the level of the Directorate to the effect that the officials who are about to retire should not be given full fledged independent charge at least six months before their retirement in any single or double handed post office in order to frauds.

 

2.         The proposal of the Circle has been examined by the Competent Authority. Reports were called for from the Postal Circles and examined. It has been observed from the reports of the Circles that number of frauds committed by officials who are due to retire in six months is very minimal.

 

3          In view of the above , it has been decided not to put the condition that the officials due to retire should not be given full fledged independent charge of Sub Postmaster (SPM) of single handed and double handed Post Offices at least six months before their retirement . However, the Divisional Superintendent should satisfy himself that the official has a clear service record with no past involvement of any kind in fraud cases etc. and that he is a person of probity and has the required competence to provide quality service. The integrity of the system should not be compromised under any condition.
