Respected Sir,

Sub: -   Problems faced by the staff - Consequent up on implementation of CBS and Mc.Camish in the post offices-Reg

           

            We are expressing our deep concern on the problem faced by the staff, consequent up on implementation of CBS and Mc.Camish in the post office. Time and again we were brought the issues to your kind notice for needy action through letters and emails. But to our dismay, there is no co-operation from the official side to resolve the issues within the reasonable time. Though the Directorate has been issued orders two months back for increasing of band width of post offices, the same is not increased so far. The staff at the counters are suffering like anything besides facing mental agony due to non connectivity to the server. Every day the problem is same but no solution and employees are forced to stay in the office beyond their normal working hours to close the day’s account.

            Therefore, we request you to immediate intervention in to the matter and resolve the issues raised by the unions on the subject immediately. If the problem is not resolved immediately, we have left no other option but to proceed on trade union action to settle the issues. 

Yours faithfully

Untold sufferings of operative staff consequent up on implementation of CBS and Mc.Camish without increasing the band width –

Sir,

Sub: -   Untold sufferings of operative staff consequent up on implementation of CBS and Mc.Camish without increasing the band width – Reg

Ref: -   This unions Lr.No.APU-III/CBS/Band width-Cancellation of migration to CBS/2016 dated 21.03.2016

            Please refer to the letter cited under reference, where in situation at the ground level has been explained to you and time and again the problems faced by the staff are being brought to your kind notice for necessary action at your end. But to my dismay, there is no improvement in the situation at the ground level. I would like to bring the following points for your consideration and necessary action at your end.

1.      The Directorate had issued instructions to increase the band width of the post offices two months back. But since two months it has not been increased and Circle administration had not properly acted to implement the Directorate orders except writing the letters to the concerned.

2.      While migrating to CBS platform, though all the digitised data uploaded to the central server, some of the accounts have not migrated and some of the accounts are partially migrated in the offices. Due to non migration/partial migration of the accounts, further transactions in those accounts could not be allowed. It is time taking process to identify the accounts and the data has to be sent to CPC through proper channel for updating those accounts in CBS platform. Till such time the customer has to wait and he has to bear the default fee if any and he has to lose the interest if any in those accounts.  The customer is suffering without his fault and the counter staffs in the post offices are facing the customer’s wrath and ire without the official’s fault. Therefore I request you to cause to issue instructions to accept those accounts manually in the post offices till updation of the data in the CBS platform.

3.      Further it is requested to waive the default fee on RD deposits, wherever the deposits are not accepted due to non connectivity to the server problem till the problem is resolved by the competent authority. If the waiver of the default fee is not possible, please cause to issue instructions to accept the deposits in manual mode so that the depositor is no need to pay any default fee.

4.      Consequent up on implementation of Mc.Camish, some of the policies are not migrated in the post offices. It will take time to updation of the data in the CPCs i.e. two to three days. The customer is paying default fee if the same is not done within the same month. In such cases, the default fee may be waived as there is no fault of the customer.

5.      Further the permission for acceptance of PLI premium through POS is fixed as 31.03.2016 and it is requested to extend the facility to one more month or till the completion of attending all the issues.

Therefore, I request you to look in to the issues put forth by me above, and do the needful action to resolve the same for smooth functioning of post offices.

A line in reply is highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully

Circle Office reply on cancellation of CBS migration schedule and increasing of band width in response to the union's letter

Release of additional instalment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to Pensioners due from 1.1.2016

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved release of an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief (DR) to Pensioners w.e.f. 01.01.2016. This represents an increase of 6 percent over the existing rate of 119 percent of the Basic Pay/Pension, to compensate for price rise. 

This will benefit about 50 lakh Government employees and 58 lakh pensioners. 

The increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The combined impact on the exchequer on account of both Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would be of Rs. 6796.50 crore per annum and Rs.7929.24 crore respectively, in the financial year 2016-17 (for a period of 14 months from January, 2016 to February, 2017).

Cancellation of migration scheduled on 21st and 23rd of March 2016 - letter written by circle secretary

APU-III/CBS/Band width-Cancellation of migration to CBS/2016         Date: 21.03.2016

To

The Chief Postmaster General

A.P.Circle

Sir,

Sub: -   Improper cancellation of CBS migration of  Post offices in the eleventh hour after updation of SB data successfully by the offices-non enhancing of the band width of the post offices -Reg

            At the outset i would like to bring the untold sufferings of the Post office staff due to improper cancellation of CBS schedule given by the competent authority and non enhancing of the band width of the post offices.

            It was intimated by the competent authority that there is a migration of some offices on 21^st and 23^rd of March 2016 and pre-migration activities. As per the schedule given by the competent authority the work has been carried out by the staff of A.P.Circle in the divisions. But unfortunately it was intimated by the competent authority that the schedule given be them for the dates 21^st and 23^rd March 2016 has been cancelled on 20.03.2016 i.e after most of the post offices have been successfully uploaded the SB data to the server and they received the message successfully uploaded.

            I bring to your kind notice that this is the fourth time the prescribed schedule has been cancelled for their own reasons i.e vendors’ inefficiency. Staffs working at the post offices have to work throughout the night and for uploading the SB data to the server they have to work 36 hours continuously. But all the efforts made by the staff to migrate the post office to CBS platform are in vein due to inefficiency of the vendor i.e no fault of the official or the department. 

            Though there were clear guidelines for enhancing of band width of the offices wherever necessary, no proper action has been taken by the circle office till date. Due to low band width staff in the post offices are severely facing the public ire. Therefore

            Therefore I request you to please take up the issue with the Directorate and should see that this type of cancellations could not be done in near future so that duplication of work and wastage of man power should be avoided. I request you to cause to issue suitable orders to implement the instructions to increase the band width of the post offices immediately.

            A line in reply is highly solicited.

Yours faithfully
