No. P3NFPE-Odisha/03 - 01/2019
Dated at Cuttack the 4th January, 2019
To
Dr. S K Kamila, IPoS
Chief Postmaster General, Odisha Circle
Bhubaneswar – 751 001
Sub:- Implementation of Rotational Transfer
Guidelines applicable to Group - C and Group - B (Non-Gazetted / Gazetted)
officials– reg.
Ref.- Directorate letter No. 141 – 141 / 2013 – SPB
– II, dated 31.07.2018
Respected Sir,
It
has come to the notice of this Circle Union that different Divisional Heads
have already asked for options from PAs/SPMs/Postmasters who have completed
post tenure of 3 years and station tenure of 6 years for annual rotational
transfer in the light of the transfer guidelines issued vide Directorate letter
under reference.
1. As seen, some Divisions
are in a hurry to implement it since January 10 / 15, 2019 has been fixed as
the last date for exercising option while the schedule, cut of date etc for rotational
transfer have not yet been published by the Circle as enunciated under Para – 5
(iv) of the Directorate letter under reference.
2. In this connection, this
Circle Union would like to submit that while most of the Group-C officials are
Postal Assistants and Sub Postmasters (except LSG / Grade – I) and under Divisional Cadre, their date of
initial posting and date of posting in the present station will be the same in
case of City Divisions and in several other places preferably in District Head
Quarters where there are more number of Post Offices and officials are being
rotated since their initial postings in P A Cadre remain within the same city.
3. Application of the
condition of 6 years station tenure will certainly affect all P As who have rendered
more than 6 years in such stations and hence there will be a large scale
transfer which appears unfeasible due to heavy financial implications on TA /
TP on one hand and more number of such employees to be transferred out of the
city in comparison to less number employees to be accommodated from outside the
city on the other.
4. Under Cadre
Restructuring Proposal of Group-C Postal Employees the PAs who have been
promoted to LSG Cadre and joined recently are yet to complete 3 years of post
tenure in the cadre itself excluding the period worked as P As.
5. Most of the post offices
both inside and outside the city area are not women-friendly without basic /
essential amenities which are also inconvenient for other category of
employees.
6. Postal Assistants born
and retire as P A in the parent Division and who complete their service without
any promotion or even with financial upgradation as a matter of practice so
far, now in a state of fear psychosis to get disturbed from their original
establishments after rendering 25/30/35 years of service in the same station
which is creating a negative feeling and damaging their willingness to work
after getting the letter to exercise option on the plea of completion of
station tenure.
Under the Circumstances, we would like to suggest as
follows for smooth implementation of the above transfer guidelines both from
administrative point of view and functional needs.
a.
All Group-C Postal employees including LSG
officials may be excluded from the purview of 6 years station tenure. If
necessary a clarification may kindly be called for from the Directorate in this
regard.
b.
The
post / station tenure of all LSG officials may be calculated from the date of
posting as LSG in the office / station itself. The previous period of service
rendered as P A in the office / station may be excluded.
c.
The
post / station tenure of all HSG-II and HSG-I officials may be calculated from
the date of posting as HSG-II / HSG-I in the office / station itself. The
previous period of service rendered as LSG / HSG-II in the office / station may
be excluded.
d.
In
the overall context of administrative requirement and austerity measures,
instructions issued under Para – 5 (ii) and (iii) of the Dte. letter under
reference may be strictly followed.
e.
For
women employees, employees having differently-abled dependents and where spouse
is an employee, instructions issued under
Para – 5 (xx), (xvi) and (xvi) of the Dte. Letter under reference may be
strictly followed.
Hope
our suggestions will be given due importance for the overall welfare of the
staff members and all the Divisional Heads may by guided suitably in this
regard.
Expecting
your kind immediate intervention, Sir.
With regards.
Yours
faithfully,
(BRUHASPATI SAMAL)
