Subject: - Comments/Suggestions on the Draft Citizen’s Charter of Department of Posts

Dear Sir,

The review of the existing Sevottam Compliant Citizen’s Charter of the Department of Posts has been made. The draft Sevottam Compliant Citizen’s Charter had been modified again in compliance to the observations of the Secretary (Posts). A copy of Results Framework Management System (RFMS version) and a skeleton version of Draft Citizen’s Charter is enclosed. It is necessary that views of the stakeholders including customers and staff organizations as well as the members of the Working Group on Citizen’s Charter (WGCC) on the modified Charter are now taken afresh so as to identify and incorporate the necessary changes.

2. The draft Citizen’s/Client’s Charter has been developed as a concise and updated document which could be amenable to display in the Post Offices. The changes has been made to make it more informative and displayable yet remaining user friendly. All the Chapters including that on the GRM have been updated.

It is desired by the Secretary (P) that views/comments may be obtained within three weeks, i.e., up to 06.04.2011. I shall greatly appreciate if you could share your views/comments on the attached draft Citizen’s Charter versions within the stipulated time. In case nothing is heard from you by the stipulated time, it will be presumed that you have agreed in principle on the contents of the draft Citizen’s Charter.

Thanking you
