Now. totally 5190 posts are sanctioned under the ADR plan for the years 2006 & 2007. The Department will apportion posts cadre wise and is expected to issue orders next week.

Modified ACP- implemention regarding-

Modified ACP orders for Postal Employees are under preparation. The DDG informed us that the orders will be a comprehensive one with full details of fixation models for different categories and that is why the preparation is taking some time. After the orders are prepared the same will be submitted to the consent of the JS&FA and then orders will be issued by the Directorate for implementation. Contrary to the earlier information, the DDG [Estt] asserted that there appears to be no need to submit the orders for approval of the DOPT and clearance by JS&FA would be sufficient. It is expected that another 15 days may take for finalization of the orders and we can expect the same to be issued next month.

Sub :- Violation of procedure in P.O. Saving Bank work /SBCO procedure by the DDG(Technology) & DDG (F/S) branch and actions for non following procedures in different circles by concerned officers.

Respected Madam / Sir,
It is observed and reported by the circle branches of all circles that local authorities are following instructions issued by the DDG (Technology) and DDG (F/S) branch under the name of plan targets & under project arrow program to cope up the pending work of PO Saving Bank in SB/ RD/ MIS & in SBCO branches. It is not following the approved procedures & Rules and Regulations on the subject. Different software’s used for working in Saving Bank & SBCO which are not as per approved procedures and rules on the subject and not meet with the procedure to put up proper reporting as per provisions according to the Departmental procedure. However work is compelled by the local heads as SP’s /SSP’s / DPS’s / PMG’s/ CPMG’s vide following the instructions by the DTE to prove the targets.
However for any mistakes or fault the staff / employee performing the same work as per their directions are held responsible for the fault detected. More over the staff has to face disciplinary actions up to suspensions, huge recoveries, stoppage of increments for not performing the same work as per Rules & regulations & procedure laid down , approved by the Department of Post & Postal Board in the same issue.
At the same time the IP’s /ASP’s / SPO’s/ SSP’s who are visiting the BO’s/ S.O’s/H.O.’s for inspections, Visits again & again with expenditure of TA /DA who are supposed to check the working of the PO branch for RD / SB/ MIS work but they are not considered for such loss , fault detected in PO’s. Only the common employee is targeted for completion of work with violating the procedures, Rules & regulations approved by the Postal Board & Finance ministry and again he is targeted for actions by the same authorities for lapses & faults in the same working.
Considering the facts you are requested to look into the matter not to involve the employee in disciplinary cases when he has worked for plan target or project arrow program vide directions of the local authorities as SP/SSP/DPS/PMG/CPMG orders. Otherwise any violation of rules, Regulations & procedure laid down should be strictly avoided by all. Staff should not be compelled for violation of procedures. If so instructions may be issued to all concerned to stop violation of procedure laid down by the Department / Finance etc. in the routine working of P.O. Saving Bank & in SBCO branches.
With Regards.
