Dear Comrade,

On return from the CWC Meeting held at Raigarh from 08.03.2017 to 09.03.2017 and in the midst of various discussions and decisions in the CWC, I feel happy to share with all of you through this Desk with some other updated information.

The CWC meeting began with the colourful procession from Raigarh HPO to the Venue “Trinity Hotel” alongwith colourful folk dances of the Chattisgarh Tribals marvelously. The team led by Com.

Parashar, Secretary General, NFPE and General Secretary P3 CHQ presented the draft report. A serious and elaborate discussion have taken place in the subject Committee and many issues confronting at this juncture were dealt. The following are the important decision.

While hailing the cadre review scheme, which provides more promotional avenues to the youngers with 3:1 preposition, the CWC took the method of unilateral implementation of the scheme seriously. It was decided to seek and immediate discussion with staff side and arrive a consensus and till then to defer the implementation. The following will be focused seriously in the discussion.

(i)        To avoid mass scale transfer the LSG and HSG-II should be made as divisional cadre.
(ii)      All the senior officials having services to acquire HSG II and HSG-I promotion shall be given notional promotion without joining the promoted post so that it will minimize the mass scale transfer. The relaxation of Recruitment Rules shall be obtained from nodal ministry in this regard.
(iii)    There is no uniformity in identification of upgraded posts in Circles. They act choosing as per their desires. This should not be and uniform instructions should be given.
(iv)     The post of treasurers need not be upgraded in to LSG. If it so, the tenure shall be four years at par with other LSG and also the treasury allowance shall be drawn to the officials deployed in LSG Cadre.
(v)       As per the agreement, all the HSG-I officials having two years of service shall be identified as NF HSG-I higher post. This has not been carried out. There should be no identification of NF HSG-I post after HSG-I promotion and it shall be based on the individuals without any transfer liability.
(vi)     PO & RMS Accountants and some posts of System Administrators shall be identified as LSG Posts.
(vii)   In the clarifications issued by the Directorate, it was mentioned as HSG-I I.P. Line is in existence. It was changed in the revised Recruitment Rules for HSG-I. (General Line).
(viii) When the 1+4 officials are upgraded to HSG-II, there is injustice to keep Grade-I Postmaster equivalent to LSG. Those post shall be upgraded to Grade-II, Grade-II to Grade-III and Grade-III to NF Grade-III.
(ix)     The minimum service condition of 6 years and 5 years for HSG-II & HSG-I shall be amended as if before to the extent of 3 years. This will facilitate in filling up the post without any delay in future.
(x)       Clear cut orders must be issued for drawal of officiating higher pay to the officials working in LSG, HSG-II & HSG-I posts on short and long term adhoc/officiating arrnagements.
(xi)     While identifying the posts, the bigger offices shall be taken due care of to avoid more transfers from the units.
(xii)   The applications of bench mark ‘Very Good’ shall not be applied up to HSG-I since the promotions are selection cum seniority and not by pure selection.

The above are few decision taken to insist the department at the time of implementation of the cadre review to avoid mass scale transfer and inconvenience. Further if any official declines promotion, that shall be accepted without insisting to join the promoted posts. We will a detailed letter to the Directorate seeking on interview to discuss exclusively on this issue to arrive solution to this issue and requested to defer the implementation till it is agreed upon.

This will be implemented before the completion of this financial year.
