Item No. 13-07/2015:Unnecessary hardships faced by the retiring officials due to the non observation of defects by the checking parties of the DA (P) office:
            Each and every Govt. servant in the Department of Posts will render a minimum of 20 to 30 years of service before his retirement. During this time the service book of the official must be verified by the staff of DA (P) office atleast 40 to 60 times. Even after so many verifications / Checks the pension section of the DA (P) office is posting out, just one month before of his retirement that
1.      There is correction spelling mistake in the name of the official in the first phase of his service book.
2.      Death certificate of 1st wife, though the official had availed LTC and claimed medical bills on many times on the name of his second wife during his service.
3.      Raising objections on MACP promotions, though it was approved by the DPCS i.e. Divisional Head, PMG etc.  (especially MTS to Postman & Postman to PA).
               When the Department is forcing the Postman to have 100% delivery every day, why it is not forcing the DA (P) to have 100% checking of the service books by the DA (P) staff before it reaches pension section.
Decision:
1.      As per the existing procedure, two (2) Service books are required to be maintained one by DDO and another by the official. Service books will be kept in the custody of the Head of the Office. The entries in the service books are to be verified by the Internal Audit Parties of the O/o DA (P) as per the norms fixed by the Directorate. Cent percent verification at every stage has not been prescribed as pointed out in the letter.
2.      The Service book along with the pension papers from the heads of the offices (Divisions, etc) duly scrutinized will be received in pension and other pensionary benefits. From the general recalling of the IA party observations and the AE observations by the pension branch – it is evident that the statutory instructions / stipulations under SRs are not attended by the operative staff handling the service books over the span of 25 to 35, 40 years and the express instructions of Rule 59 of CCS Pension Rules, 1972 are not properly compiled by the Heads of Offices, obviously to square up the blame on the pension branch. Apparently, this aspect was conveniently ignored in the staff side brief.

3.      Despite various checks at HO and DO level, the irregularities pointed out in the letter are noticed in pension section at final stage and causing delay in settling the pension cases.

       Further, DA (P) has informed that each of the points raised by the staff side discussed in brief and remedial measures were suggested which were enclosed.ITEM CLOSED

Decision:Postal Directorate has permitted A.P. Circle to consider migrating to CBS without digitizing the data of MGNREGS account, as Aadhaar based payment system is not available in Sanchay Post / CBS. Further Directorate intimated that RB Division / RSI / RH implementation committee may also take a view and these data may be migrated when such functionality / handheld devices become available and DoP is finally in a position to handle this work as is being presently handled by A.P. Circle through APOnline.  ITEM CLOSED
