Proposal for Cadre Review in respect of Group B (Non Gazetted) &
Group ‘C’ Cadre in operative side of Postal Department
1. JUSTIFICATION FOR CADRE REVIEW
1.1 In the first Chapter of
the Annual report 2007-08 of the Department of Post under the Caption of 'Overview',
it was mentioned that the Cadre Review was conducted in 2007 with the prime aim
of restructuring the Cadre to meet the challenges to the Department, and
especially to cater the marketing and business development.
1.2 Whereas the similar to the cadre review
exercised at JAG/SAG level has not been extended to the grass root level
employees who are actually carrying out the policy and programme of the Postal
organisation despite there is ample justification after the modernisation of
postal services and introduction of various new projects and products. Not even
a single post of System Administrators for maintenance of hardware and software
has so far been created despite the posts of Systems Manager/ Systems
Administrators/ Project officers etc. are in existence by converting the Postal
Assistant posts by keeping those posts vacant. Many Postal Assistant posts were
now christened as Marketing Executives without any monetary benefits and also
keeping the Postal Assistants posts vacant which are being managed by the rest
of the staff without any monetary compensation.
1.3 As per the report cited above in para supra,
there is a dire need to transform the human resources abundantly available in
the Department to a multi dimensional one to meet the challenges and also to
improve the services in the competition era for which the officials should be
motivated by offering good packages and promotional opportunities.
1.4
The Cadre restructuring
exercises have been done by the various departments in large scale. In many
departments like Railways, Audit & Accounts, the cadre restructurings were
exercised in Group C cadres many times and the ratio of promotional avenues
between the feeder and promotional cadres are being maintained under the ratio
of 20:80.
1.5
The Staff of the Postal
Accounts in our department have also been blessed with this beneficial scheme
of eighty percent upgradation of posts during Sep 87 based on the cadre
restructuring to Postal Accounts staff exercised after the implementation of
the Fourth Pay Commission's recommendations.
1.6
So far, in respect of Postal
department, the Postal Board has not exercised any cadre restructuring to the
Clerical (Group C) cadres but has resorted to other schemes like TBOP, BCR on
matching Savings. The conception of TBOP/BCR was to ensure that an employee
does not stagnate in the maximum of the pay scale of the Cadre and promote to
next grade (Selection grade) in two spells (i.e) one first after 16 years and
second after 26years of service. The agreement for TBOP and BCR were signed by
providing matching savings for the schemes to the extent of 20% in supervisory
and 6% in operative Posts and withdrawal of special pay and so on.
1.7
Prior to introduction of TBOP,
in May 1974, by an agreement in the JCM Departmental Council, 20% of the posts
in the operative grade were placed in the next higher grade of LSG. This was
withdrawn at the time of introduction of TBOP, as the LSG promotions were
granted on the length of service of individuals and not by the existence of
posts under the TBOP scheme.
1.8 The Department has issued various clarifications on TBOP/BCR and in
almost all the clarifications the TBOP and BCR promotions were equated with LSG
& HSG II. HSG I promotions were accorded during the years in between 1995
to 1998 based on the BCR Gradation list. Suddenly in 1999, the TBOP & BCRs
were termed as financial upgradations and they were denied the equal status with
LSG & HSG II. Thus the benefits arrived after the TBOP/BCR in the years
1983/1991 were freezed and those promotions were lost its identity and
sanctity. Finally while adopting MACP Promotions the erstwhile TBOP & BCR
Schemes were scrapped and now not in existence. Thus all the three exercises
similar to cadre review in different forms were withdrawn and virtually, it
appears that there is no cadre review for Group C cadre has been exercised so
far.
1.9
The Sixth Pay Commission did
not recommend any separate pay scales for LSG & HSG II and resultantly the
Pay Bands applicable to TBOP & BCR are thus being applied to LSG & HSG
II promotions. After equating the TBOP & BCR with the similar Pay Band to
LSG & HSG II, the contention of the Department that they are financial
upgradation is having no relevance. Thus there is ample justification for
exercising cadre restructuring for the supervisory cadres in the department.
1.10
Meanwhile, the Sixth CPC in its
recommendations under para 3.3.17 maintained that it has refrained from
conducting cadre review of individual services and left the job to the
respective departments. Thus we propose the following proposal for cadre review
for consideration.
1.11
Since we are aware that despite
ample functional justification for upgradation of grade pay to the extent of
Rs.2800/- to Postal Assistants, there is no chance of considering to grant
higher pay scale to Postal Assistants under the proposed cadre restructuring,
we are restraining ourselves only to the increase the number of supervisory
posts in existence in respect of hierarchical cadre to the Postal assistants
and formation of new cadres pertaining to technical posts.
1.12
It is pertinent to mention that
in many departments, the percentage wise cadre restructuring of posts were
considered and the functional justification has not been insisted. For example,
Railways in the case of Ticket Checking staff who are in 1900 GP Entry level
pay, have been provided with the promotional cadre like Senior Ticket Examiner;
Head Ticket Examiner; and Chief Ticket Inspector. In the case of Railway
Commercial clerks, who are in 2000 GP at Entry level pay, have promotional
cadres like Senior commercial Clerks; Head Commercial Clerks; and Chief
Commercial Clerks under the cadre restructuring doing the similar duty with
different nomenclatures.
1.13
Under the Cadre Restructuring
exercised in Railways 14% of officials are retained in Entry level pay scale of
both these cadres; 16% officials in next pay scale level of 2400 GP; 46% to
next level of 4200 GP; and remaining 24% in 4600 GP in the case of Ticket
Checking Staff. Out of these staff most of them work as operative staff and the
senior most staff only are working as Supervisors in second and third level and
only the fourth level are fully real supervisory staff. According to Railway
formula these higher cadre restructured posts were not based on functional
justification. It is the bare fact that on functional justification basis many
could not have obtained this much percentage of higher level posts.
1.14
Even though, we are of the
opinion that the cadre restructuring shall be exercised at par with railways or
at least with the earlier review made for staff car drivers based on the
percentage of posts in basic cadre to each promotional categories, we are
placing below the availability of functional justification also in case of PA
cadre for kind information and consideration..
2. LSG, HSG II/HSG I
2.1 At the outset, we wish to
place on record that the existing nomenclature for supervisory posts viz. LSG,
HSG-II & HSG-I does not exhibit the nature of status to our world and it
requires revision. Let it be called with the nomenclature of Supervisors,
Senior Supervisors and Chief Supervisors or Executive Manager, Senior Manager,
and Chief Manager. It is most opt to mention that the earlier station masters
are now called as station managers; Engine drivers are now called as Loco Pilot;
Group D is now called as Multi Tasked Staff; Mechanics sheds are called as care
centres. Similarly, the Postal Assistant shall also be called with decent
nomenclature instead of this present LSG, HSG II & HSG I
2.2 The Supervisors/Postmasters have omnibus task of management,
providing guidance and supervision in all activities including the various
marketing/business activities.
2.3 The scope
and functions of Postmasters/Supervisors may broadly be categorised as follows.
(i)
They are responsible for drawal/remittance
of funds involving huge financial responsibility.
(ii)
They have to enforce efficient
supervision office and Postal operations.
(iii)
They have to enforce the orders
strictly in maintaining the office and its day to day functions.
(iv)
They have to plan and execute
the orders and promote more business and improve the mail functioning.
(v)
They have to supervise the
subordinates as on administrator and in some cases act as disciplinary
authority also.
(vi)
They should possess a through
knowledge on all Postal transactions with updated rulings in order to run the
office smoothly with the customer satisfaction.
(vii)
They have to take all efforts
for prompt delivery of mails besides averting any public complaints.
(viii)
They have a thorough knowledge
about their powers, responsibilities, and duties and also to acquaint him with
all departmental rules and procedures
Under the changed scenario, due to complete modernisation and
venturing various business activities, the role and responsibilities of the
supervisors and postmasters become abundant and there is a dire need to place
them in higher pay band of II right from LSG post onwards.
2.4 In
nutshell, they should function as a Manager, Public Relation Officer, Bank
Officer, Welfare Officer and also a good Administrator. Based on the job
content, the responsibilities and specialised knowledge needed for efficient functioning;
there is a sound case for upgradation of all the posts of Postmasters into
supervisory cadre. After the decentralisation of various works at S. O. levels
like RD/MIS works and launching various business activities there is a
qualitative change in the supervisory duties of the Single/Double handed
offices which require a better senior officials to supervise the work.
Notwithstanding our claim to place the LSG in pay band II with grade pay of
Rs.4200; HSG II to Rs.4600 & HSG I to Rs.4800, We are proposing the
following for increase the number of supervisory posts which will cater the
need and also based on the functional justification.
2.5 The Department is having a total number of Postal Assistants to
the extent of 83,696 Posts. We are having 6989 LSG Posts, 1703 HSG II & 1649
HSG I Posts; out of which 2097 post of Postmaster Grade I, 511 posts of Grade
II Postmaster & 495 posts of Grade I Postmaster were carved out while
forming a separate cadre of Postmaster. While comparing the existence of basic
cadre Postal Assistants, the present number of LSG Posts is just only 8.35%.
Even the assured 20% operative posts in LSG during May 74 and implemented is no
where in letter & spirit and we have gone back to the period prior to 1974.
2.6 The staff side therefore requests to consider the following proposals
in the case of supervisors.
(i)
Considering the more nature of supervisory works now available in B
& C Class offices, the posts of SPMs of those offices may be upgraded to
the present status of LSG with the revised nomenclature of 'Supervisor' or
Manager. As on date we are having 11395 singled handed post offices and 6719
double handed offices. It will result in creation of new supervisory posts equivalent
to present LSG cadre to be extent of 18114 which will work out to 21.65% LSG
Supervisory posts.
(ii)
The SPMs working in present 'A' class and LSG offices & other
LSG supervisory posts may be upgraded to the present status of HSG II and
called them as 'Senior Supervisor or Senior Manager'. This will add to the
present LSG strength of 6989 with addition of 3732 postmaster of Triple handed
post offices with the total strength of 10718 which will maintain the
promotional avenues from LSG to HSG II to the extent ratio of 2 : 1.
(iii)
The present posts in HSG II & HSG I may be amalgamated and
called as 'Chief Supervisor or Chief Manager' with the present HSG I status. The
existing posts of HSG II & HSG I to the extent of 1703 and 1649 posts
respectively (i.e.) 3352 posts will maintain the ratio of promotions from HSG
II to HSG I as 3:1
(iv)
A separate identification to the extent of 30% of the HSG I posts
may please be accorded as Non functional posts in Group B status with grade pay
of Rs. 4800/- in Pay Band II.
2.7 If the above process of elevation of more supervisory posts
considering the requirement of more supervisory posts on functional
justification is carried out, it will provide more supervisory posts and not to
have any disturbances in the pyramidal structure since the total no. of
supervisory posts will work out to 32184 which is 38.45% not exceeding 40% of
the basic cadre.
3.
POSTMASTER’S CADRE
3.1 The Department has unilaterally introduced
Postmaster’s Cadre vide its No. 4-17/2008-SPB II dt. 22.11.2010 by carving out
2097 LSG posts, 511 HSG II posts and 495 HSG I posts out of 5695 LSG posts,
1077 HSG II & 1176 HSG I posts. The staff side was not in favour for
formation of separate cadre since it will create a division among the existing
supervisors and also the concept of supervisors to know all the nature of work is
being shrinking due to separate formation. However, the Postmaster cadre is
being implemented as a separate hierarchical cadre.
3.2 The recruitment rules applicable to other
supervisors are being applied in respect of Postmasters cadre. During cadre
restructuring the following shall be considered.
i)
When the Postmaster cadre is
separately created, all the promotions up to the posts of Chief Postmaster
shall be open only to that cadre. Entertaining IPO line officials is not fair.
Their option may be obtained for postmaster cadre if willing. Thereafter all
posts shall be filled up only from the Postmasters cadre.
ii)
At the time of upgradation of
more supervisory posts under cadre review, 1/3rd posts may also be
carved out for the postmasters cadre.
iii)
At present there is no
provision to fill up the Postmaster Grade I posts on seniority. The principle
of 2/3rd by Seniority and 1/3rd by merit shall be
introduced in Postmasters Grade-I also.
4. RMS
4.1 At present, there are 7599 Sorting
Assistants; 5544 MACP II SAs & 3311 MACP III. Whereas the present
supervisory posts available in the RMS in LSG 1053; HSG II 415; HSG-I 415, which
is not even reaches 5% in LSG to the comparison of Sorting Assistant
4.2 After implementation of mail network
redesign in speed post as well as First class mailing offices and there are
vast changes being taken place, more promotional avenues shall be provided in
RMS. Considering the above, more Promotional Posts in LSG, HSG-II & HSG-I
equal to the ratio provided to Postal Assistant under the cadre review may
please be considered, the existing promotional Posts shall be increased at
least by three times.
4.3 Further
a new cadre of Non Functional Group ‘B’ may please be carved out to the extend
of 30% of the total HSG I Posts by providing one NFS Posts to each RMS division
for effective supervision and monitoring.
5. SYSTEMS
ADMINISTRATORS
5.1 The Sixth Pay Commission in its report vide item
No. 7.6.21 observed interalia: -
"Postal Assistants assigned
the jobs of Systems Administrators and Marketing Executives have demanded
creation of a new cadre with higher pay scales. Creation of a new cadre in
their case is not functionally justified. The commission, in any case, is not
looking into demands relating to individual cadre reviews, status -quo may,
therefore, need to be maintained especially because the existing scenario
always usage of available manpower for need based multifarious function."
5.2 The
Sixth CPC did not dealt the issue with due note of the existence of such
category in postal exclusively performing the duties properly and arrived at
the conclusion causing severe discontentment in the minds of the officials who are
toiling since inception of computers in the post offices and rendered their
unstinted service without any extra remuneration for the total computerisation
of postal services.
5.3
From the report of the Sixth
CPC, it is quite evident that the actual nature of work involved as 'Systems Administrators'
in the Department of Posts has been quite misunderstood and the projection of
the same has been made devoid of the acumen and dexterity actually involved. In
nut shell, the work of 'Systems Administrators' has been evaluated on facts
that are miles away from the ground realities. In other departments, the nature
of work entrusted to Systems administrators are quite different and they are
being with the grade pay of Rs.5400. Here we are calling them as systems
administrators; but their role and responsibilities are entirely different.
5.4
In certain departments, the
posts of ‘Computer Assistant’ or ‘System Assistant’ in the pay scale of Rs.
9300-34800 with grade pay of Rs. 4200/- have been created with the
Qualification of graduation/BSC with PGDCA/DOEACC – A level with 55/- marks or
two years’ experience is required for the selection as system assistant. The
nature of work in existence in postal can be equated with that of systems
assistants. Based on the same structure, a separate cadre of system
Administrators can be created by providing further promotional avenues in the
cadre.
5.5
The Department has formed a
separate Technical wing at the Directorate to deal the problems of Systems
oriented and it has given a hope that the long pending demands of the System
Administrators would also be considered and decided. The Department has also
constituted another three DDG Committee vide is letter No.1/1/2010-Sr dated
19.7.2010 comprising DDG (Estt), DDG (P) and DDG (Technology) to consider about
creation of systems administrators cadre and directed to submit its report
within three months. We are not aware of the recommendations of the committee.
5.6
Further, the Department of
Posts vide its letter No. 23-15/2004-PE II dt 24.12.04, after the formation of
Separate Committee under the Chairmanship of the DDG (Technology) directed to
consider the following: -
(a)
Assess which of special
categories of Staff will be required at Sub Post offices, Head Post offices,
Sorting offices, Speed Post centres as and various Administrative and Accounts
offices to effectively tackle problems which arise while implementing the
Computerization plan:
(b)
Assess number of Staff in each
of these special categories that will be required in SOs/HOs/Divisions etc and
nomenclature (for example, PAC Technology). System administrator, Systems
Manager etc.) for each category.
(c)
Recommend:
(i)
Pay scales to be given to such
staff
(ii)
Selection criterion for such
staff and career
(iii)
Career progression for such
staff.
5.7
The Director (T&E) has
sought views and suggestions on the above vide his letter cited above. However,
it seems no decision has so far been taken by the committee or Department.
5.8
According to Para 10.1 of the
Annual report of 2010-11 of the Department of Posts, during the period from 1st
April 2010 to 31st December 2010 , computer hardware and peripherals
have been supplied to 1811 post offices. Thus till December 2010, 14415 post
offices have been computerised under Plan Scheme of Computerisation of Post
offices. Further all Postal Circle Offices, Regional Offices, all Postal
Accounts Offices and 1205 Divisional Offices have also been computerized.
Besides, a number of enabled services were started in these post offices. The Govt has approved IT modernisation
project of the Department of Posts for computerisation of all the
non-computerised post offices, mail offices, administrative and other offices,
establishment of required IT infrastructure, development of required software
applications to be completed by 2012-13.
.
5.9
The Department has entered with
contracts for implementation of financial services solution and there are eight
projects for the I.T. modernisation of India Post at on overall out lay of
Rs.1877 crores. As per the contract for financial services solution, it
includes commissioning of Postal Banking operations entailing core banking
solution and ATM switch. The dept proposes to introduce and install Rural ICT
hardware devices and providing network connectivity to 1.30 lakhs branch post
offices enabling all post offices to perform e transactions.
5.10
It is very pertinent to point
out that this could be achieved only by having specialised and trained man
power pool inside our organisation. Imparting training, maintenance of hardware
and software, attending faults at 1.30 lakhs branch post offices etc, we
require a large number of expert personnel for which the creation of systems
assistant or call by any name like Technical Assistant, Computer Assistant etc
is inevitable. The role of existing Systems Administrators in total computerisation
of Post offices must be recognised. They are very much frustrated and the
discontentment is mounting due to the continuous exploitation of these
categories over ten years.
5.11
It is therefore requested to
consider their plights and convert the existing Systems Administrator posts as
Promotional Cadre to Postal Assistants possessing required qualification in
computer appreciations as if available in other departments for the post of
Systems Assistant with grade pay of Rs.4200.
5.12
The existing Systems Administrators
may be absorbed in the promotional posts by conducting simple Trade test in
token of recognition of their services in the past in the total computerisation
of post offices. It is pertinent to mention that it is only the postal
department, the computerisation to this extent possible without engaging any
outside agencies and also without incurring more expenses with the technically
qualified Postal Assistants available in the department. They must be
recognised by this way.
5.13
The pay scale of the Systems
Assistants may be decided as follows.
Systems Assistants - Grade
Pay 4200
I Promotion:
Systems Manager - Grade Pay 4600
II Promotion:
Sr. System Manager - Grade Pay 4800
10% posts may be identified as Gazetted
with Grade pay of Rs.5400/- as existence in other departments as Systems
Administrators for monitoring the entire Technical developments.
5.14 Even though all the supervisory posts in Postal
operative side can look after the postmasters work and there is no need for
creation of separate cadre, the Dept has created the Postmasters cadre recently
which the staff side not resisted. Whereas in the case of Systems assistants,
there is ample justification for creation of separate cadre considering the
nature of their duties and requirement to the service and this may be
considered in true spirit.
Notwithstanding
our demand for the creation of System Asst. With Rs. 4200/- Grade Pay, it is
agreeable to convert the Posts by LSG and other hierarchical promotions based
on the functional requirements and declare it as a promotional cadre to Postal
Assistants.
6. PO & RMS
ACCOUNTANTS
6.1 The Sixth Pay Commission has rejected higher pay scale to PO &
RMS Accountants as if there is no functional justification exists for the same
and recommended to revise the special allowance of Rs.180/- in double the
rates. The description of the Sixth CPC that they are not belonging to the
organised accounts cadre without looking the merits through their nature of
duties and responsibilities are nothing but a farce. This cadre has met a raw
deal over the last three decades.
6.2 The comparative pay structure of Accountant post in different
Department / Ministry / organized Sector are detailed below for kind perusal.

6.3 This will be the testimony that this
cadre of PO & RMS Accountant alone is deprived and denied the dues. The
exploitation of this cadre is continuing over 20 years. This may please be
pursued with the Government and see that the PO & RMS Accountants are
placed at least with the Accountants working in Postal Accounts office of our
department.
6.4 The following is the proposal, we desired
to put forth for kind consideration
i. The Po & RMS Accountant examination may be declared as vacancy
based examination instead of the present qualified one
ii. The official after their selection shall be posted as Accountant
with the Grade Pay of Rs.2800.
iii. PO & RMS Accountants cadre shall be declared as a separate
cadre with hierarchical promotional benefits.
iv. At the time of upgradation of 1622 HSG II posts to HSG I, many APM
accounts LSG posts were identified as HSG I posts. Resultantly there is very
lesser number of LSG Posts ie. in the feeder cadre available for promotion to
PO & RMS Accountants. This has blocked the promotional chances for the existing
PO &RMS Accountants .In many places, the due DPC for LSG posts could not
held due to dearth of LSG vacancies. Hence, it is the dire need to restore the
LSG position to the extent of 50% of the total posts of APM Accounts by
upgrading simultaneously in the general line posts. Those posts can be
identified to the present status of HSG II with Grade pay of Rs.4200.
v. 30% of
the remaining APM Accounts post may be declared with present HSG I status with
grade pay of Rs.4600.
vi. The
remaining 20% of the APM Accounts posts may be declared as Gazetted posts with
grade
pay of
Rs.4800.
The determination of status on LSG, HSG
II, HSGI and Gazetted may be decided based on the status of the offices and
also the supervisory nature of the posts. This is possible. The nomenclature of
the posts may also be changed at par with the proposals we suggested for the
supervisory posts. Unless the cadre is declared as a separate one, the
anomalies in existence over three decades will continue. It is therefore
requested to consider the proposals by analysing all these factors prevailing
in the work spot.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 In order to provide more promotional
avenues to the youth possessing more skills & qualifications, the following
establishments may be upgraded and elevated to the standards of supervisors.
(i)
The Marketing Executives may
also be declared as promotional supervisory posts as is done in the case of
Town Inspectors in to LSG.
8.
CIRCLE OFFICE STAFF
8.1
The present staff strength in
circle offices available in Group ‘C’ is around 2500 and the existing
promotional avenues is less than 8% in total and after conversion of LDC &
UDC as single cadre of Postal Assistant, there is a total imbalance in respect
of Circle office in respect of promotional posts.
8.2
It is therefore suggested that
in promotional cadres like LSG, HSG II & HSG I may be created as in the
same ratio of Postal Assistant and 30% as the HSG-I posts may be upgraded as
NFS. The existing four posts of Group ‘B’ may please be merged with the other
Group ‘B’ posts in officer’s line.
9.
SBCO Staff
9-1 Total
staff is 4100. There is no HSG II at present. It is suggested to provide four
layers of promotions with the ratio of 50:20:20; 5:5. The SBCO in charge of All
Gazetted HPOs (116) may be converted to HSG I. There are 442 divisions and all
the in charge of such divisional head quarters may be considered for HSG II. It
is further suggested that the in charge of SBCO having up to 50,000 entries may
be converted to LSG, above 50,000 up to 100000 may be HSG II and above 1 lakh,
it will be HSG-I, Similarly all working in (PWCs/ICOs shall be placed in
promotional posts. The ration in promotional prospects as decided in case of
Postal Assistant may please be rotational in case of PA SBCO also.
10.
MATCHING SAVINGS
10.1 The
question of matching savings does not arise since in most of the cadre, as
there is no elevation in the pay scale, the officials who have already acquired
the pay pertaining to the post shall alone get regular promotion.
10.2 The
matching savings, we offered for TBOP/BCR have not been practically restored
despite the Directorate orders 25-5/2010-PE I dt. 19.7.2010 since there is no
chance of any new creation. As per the norms and after withdrawing the
reduction of staff under TBOP/BCR Schemes w.e.f 1.9.2008, there is ample
justification for creation of more new posts. As such, further matching savings
in the shape of staff cut will ruin the developmental activities and efficiency
of the postal services.
10.3 In
token of acceptance of modernisation and various re organisations in the Postal
set up, the officials shall be offered with more promotional avenues despite it
will not cause any monetary benefits.
It is therefore requested
that the proposal for cadre review may please be considered with due attention
and the Group C employees may be granted with the promotional avenues.
Satisfied Employees will perform well and render more satisfied work.
