Sub: Deduction of HRA of the TSPAs / SPMs / Postmasters
posted against the downgraded posts – regarding
Respected Sir,
This
is to bring your kind notice that due to non-availability of eligible HSG-II
and HSG-I officials, many of such posts have been temporarily downgraded in
Odisha Circle to LSG and HSG-II cadre
respectively according to the person available in position vide C O Memo No.
EST/1-2/Rlg/2016-Corr-III, dated 04.02.2020. Even many HSG-I posts have also
been downgraded to LSG Cadre in the Memo ibid.
As
a result, the existing LSG officials are compelled to work against many vacant
HSG-II and HSG-I posts now downgraded to LSG. Even many TSPAs are also working
against vacant LSG Posts.
While
there is no harm in working as above, the plight is that the TSPAs / SPMs /
Postmasters who are not eligible for higher posts and working as such due to
compulsion of downgradation in post offices having post attached quarters are
facing heavy financial losses in the way of deduction of HRA.
Since
the above orders are temporary and issued in administrative interest for smooth
management of Post Offices only, the officials are not supposed to suffer from
financial losses for no fault of their own.
Thus,
this Circle Union strongly opposes such irregular deduction of HRA of the TSPAs
/ SPMs / Postmasters posted against the downgraded posts having post attached
quarters.
Therefore,
we would like to request you to kindly direct all the DDOs in Odisha Circle to
draw HRA of all TSPAs / SPMs / Postmasters posted against the downgraded posts
having post attached quarters including refund of the amount already deducted as
such.
A line of reply to the Union on the nature of action
taken in this regard is highly solicited.
With
regards.
Yours faithfully,
(Bruhaspati
Samal)
Circle Secretary
