Respected Sir,
It has come to the notice of this Circle Union that different
divisions in Odisha Circle have extended the working hours in complete violation
of the instructions contained in Directorate’s letter referred to above (Copy
attached) read with Clause – 5 of P O Guide Part – I.
As instructed, the business hours in Post Offices shall be fixed
as follows.
|
For reference and enquiries, sale of postage
stamps and stationery
|
During entire working hours of the office
|
|
For booking of registered and insured articles
including value payable articles and parcels
|
For about six to seven hours (On Saturdays usually
five hours stopping at 3 PM)
|
|
For issue of Money Orders, Sale and Payment of
Postal Orders, Savings Bank and Post Office Certificate transactions and
payment of telephone bills etc
|
For about five hours (On Saturdays usually three hours stopping at 1 PM)
|
But as witnessed, many Divisional Heads in Odisha
Circle have extended the business hours including Savings Bank transactions up
to seven hours out of 8 hours which violates the above instructions.
Therefore, it is requested kindly to issue
immediate necessary instructions to all Divisional Heads to restrict the
working hours of the post offices strictly adhering to the guidelines as per Clause
– 5 of P O Guide Part – I and as instructed in Directorate’s letter referred to
above.
With regards.
