Bandh hits banking and postal service

Striking impact: Several nationalized banks either wore a deserted look with skeleton staff or were forced to down shutters owing to strike called by trade unions on Tuesday. Operations in most public sector banks were disrupted while postal and transport services were partially affected on Tuesday in the wake of general strike called by the Central trade unions.

Several industries around the city, including Ashok Leyland and T.I. Group, were also affected as employees stayed away. With 15 bank unions, including All India Bank Employees Association and Bank Employees Federation of India, on the forefront of the strike call, branches of several public sector banks and some private banks remained closed owing to thin attendance of employees.

The strike was part of the nationwide bandh called by the unions against the hike in prices of essential commodities and the new pension scheme. Trade unions held demonstrations across the city demanding setting up of a committee for unorganized workers, fixing of Rs.10,000 as minimum monthly wage and strict enforcement of labour laws.

Some customers, like 70-year-old D. Leela, who were unaware of the strike, returned home without carrying out their transaction. Ms. Leela, a resident of Kilpauk, said, “My pension gets credited in this bank and I do not know how to operate the ATM. I visit the bank only once or twice a month. I have to come again tomorrow to withdraw cash.” Many branches wore a deserted look as most of the clerical staff did not turn up for duty.

An official of a nationalized bank in Anna Nagar said, “We had intimated customers and put up notices in all branches asking them to complete their transactions before Tuesday to avoid inconvenience. We filled cash in the ATMs on Monday. But, cash cannot be replenished again as I need a clerical staff member to do the task with me.”

Daily operations of business people in the city were also affected. S. Lakshmi, a resident of Avadi, said, “I had transferred money through RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) from my branch to supplier's bank account three days ago. But it has not reached the supplier. I have to wait till tomorrow to credit the cash and also find out the status of earlier transaction.”

According to banks' trade unions, nearly 14,000 of 18,000 employees in the city participated in the strike. Staff of the Reserve Bank of India and the insurance sector also took part in the bandh.
C.H. Venkatachalam, general secretary of All India Bank Employees' Association, said: “Cash and cheque clearing operations were affected in many banks in Chennai. We are against banking reforms, outsourcing of permanent jobs and privatization.”

Members of three unions — All India Bank Officers' Confederation, Indian National Bank Officers Congress and National Union of Bank Employees — refrained from the strike.

Postal services too were hit as many customers avoided post offices fearing low attendance. While head post offices had sufficient staff members with only 20 per cent remaining off duty, the smaller ones were affected by the strike. J. Srivenkatesh, Circle president, All India Postal Employees' Union, Tamil Nadu Circle, said that nearly 4,000 postal employees participated in the strike. Of the nearly 220 post offices in Chennai and suburbs, about 190 did not have full-fledged operations. As postmen were not available, delivery of letters and speed posts were hit.

Residents who went to tahsildar's offices in the suburbs, such as Ambattur, also returned disappointed as there were not sufficient personnel to provide pattas or legal heir certificates.Commuters, however, managed to travel to their destinations as more than half of the Metropolitan Transport Corporation buses and auto rickshaws plied. M.V. Krishnan, vice-president of Centre of Indian Trade Unions, Chennai district, said nearly 40 per cent of the MTC buses and auto rickshaws were not operated.

General Secretary’s Desk

One Day Strike on 28.02.2012
The call for Nationwide industrial action on 28.02.2012 organised by all the 15 Central Trade Unions including INTUC, AITUC, CITU, BMS, HMS etc. is the last option since all their avenues of protest like dharnas, demonstrations, rallies and finally the Jail Bharo Programmes besides raising the issues relating to labour and common people at various forums yielded no results. It is rather found that labour was becoming an unwanted agenda for the Governments.
The Postal JCA after long discussions called upon all the Postal workers to join the strike and save the nation and protect the labour from neo economic policies adopted at the centre. The strike notice was served to the department on 10.02.2012.
All Branch/Divisional/Circle Secretaries are requested to organize the workers by holding meetings at various work spots and ensure 100% participation in the ensuing 28.02.2012 strike.
Puri Workshop – An Historic Success
The workshop organized by the CHQ at Puri from 04.02.2012 to 05.02.2012 ended with resounding success. The aim for which it was convened has been fulfilled and in the examination held among the participants, many secured very good percentage which exhibits the success of the workshop. Full details of the workshop is being published in the Website/Bhartiya Post. The valuated answer sheet has been despatched to all the participants respectively.
Let us convene our next workshop shortly. The willing circle to host the next workshop may please be come forward immediately in order to organize the next workshop either in the month of July or August 2012.
Central Working Committee Meeting – Patna
It is decided to hold the next Central Working Committee Meeting of our union at Patna from 10.04.2012 to 11.04.2012, All CHQ office bearers are requested to book their tickets well in advance. Formal notice will be despatched to them after the finalization of venue and agenda.
JCM Departmental Council
JCM Departmental Council was held on 10.02.2012 and 49 new subjects were discussed. Earlier on 02.02.2012, the standing committee was held to discuss about the pending issues placed in the JCM meeting. The minutes of both the meetings will be published after its receipt. The demands already placed for discussions in the meeting but discussed during strike charters were not discussed again. The Secretary assured that all the items discussed and decided earlier will be finalized at the earliest possible.
System Administrators case – Separate cadre
The case was again discussed in the standing committee meeting of the Departmental Council held on 02.02.2012. It was informed that further action on this case will be taken after finalization of the proposal of the cadre Review committee. However the Member (Personnel) reiterated that creation of a separate cadre may not be feasible. She explained that there will be a limited chance for ‘System Administrators’ further promotion in a separate cadre and further DOP&T may insist on direct recruitment only. The chance for absorption of the existing system administrators will also be remote as separate qualification etc will be fixed for the post. In short the Postal Board is not in favour of creation of separate cadre. Our demand for separate cadre is also not rejected. A final decision will be taken only after the finalisation of the proposals by the Cadre review committee in which we are demanding the formation of System Assistant Posts with further promotional avenues.
GDS Protection of TRCA
In order to implement the assurances of Hon’ble State Minister of communication to Staff side on 20.01.2012, Postal Board constituted a committee of officers to examine the GDS cases including cash handling norms remittances from BO to AO etc for brought under norms, protection of TRCA etc under the chairmanship of Sri. V. P. Singh DDG (Establishment). The Committee will submit its report within a month.
Committee on Casual labourers problems
Member (Personnel) informed that the committed on Casual Labourers problems headed by Assam Chief PMG has submitted its report and it is under examination by the Directorate. The staff side has also submitted its suggestions on casual labourers. It was assured that a decision will be arrived within one month.
Clear Quota, Bhartiya Post Dues & Publications
Many divisions are still keeping dues and not clearing the full Quota, Dues on journals and publications. The two financial years for determination of delegates will end on 31.03.2012. All Branch/Divisional Secretaries are requested to clear the Quota, and all dues forthwith without  inviting reminders.
Hand Book 2012
Many divisions/branches have not indented Hand Book 2012 and the CHQ has sent only one copy to them. It is needless to say that it should be supplied to all new entrants as well as all office bearers atleast. Branch/Divisional Secretaries are requested to kindly make required indent immediately.
Let us meet in the next and till then with greetings,
Comradely yours,
K. V. Sridharan
General Secretary

Postal Department applies to RBI for banking licence

The Postal Department has applied to the Reserve Bank of India for a banking licence, the Communications Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, said here on Wednesday. 

Mr Sibal said he had written to the Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, to expedite the granting of licence. 

Speaking on the sidelines of the postal policy round table organised by FICCI, Mr Sibal said, “A national postal policy targeting expansion and modernisation of the postal network would be announced during this year. The Government does not intend to issue licences to courier service companies, but would make it mandatory for them to register.” 

Aimed at modernising postal services, the policy is expected to make the department adopt a more financially viable revenue model. It would also provide affordable services at all points in the country as part of its Universal Service Obligation, the Minister said. 

The Department is also expecting large-scale private sector participation in providing value added services and extending its product range beyond the current core functions.
“There are tremendous opportunities for the private corporate sector to use its ingenuity to create innovative products and delivery mechanisms through the Indian postal network,” Mr Sibal said.
India currently has 1.55 lakh post offices, 95 per cent of which are located in rural areas.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REDESIGNED NETWORK FOR FIRST CLASS MAIL.



Sub: Implementation of Redesigned Network for First Class Mail.
D.G. Posts No.30-7/2012-D Dated 01-02-2012

The matter relating to restructuring the existing operational network and processing arrangements for First Class mail (Unregistered and Registered) was under consideration at this Directorate as part of the Mail Network Optimization Project. The issue has been examined in detail, and in this context following instructions are issued.
2. Under the new operational arrangements, the existing mail offices have been classified into Level 1 (L-1) and Level 2 (L-2) mail offices. There would be 89 L-1 and 244 L-2 mail offices under the new set up. The list of L-1 and L-2 mail offices for First Class unregistered mail is given as Annexure I. The list of L-1 and L-2 mail offices for Registered mail is given as Annexure II.
3. The manner of closing of bags between mail offices (handling unregistered and registered mail) would be as follows:-
(a) All L-1 mail offices will close direct bags for each other. An L-1 office will also close bags for all L-2 offices as well as delivery post offices mapped/attached to it.
(b) All L-2 offices attached/mapped to it an L-1 office can close bags for that particular office. An L-2 office may also close bags for all other L-2 offices mapped to the same L-1 office if the need be. It will also close bags for all delivery post offices mapped to it.
( c) An L-2 mail office would not close bags for any other L-1 office to which it is not mapped. Similarly an L-2 office will not close bags for any other L-2 office which is not mapped to the same L-1 office. However, there may be a situation where an L-2 office may require closing bags for an L-1 or L-2 office falling in the same circle or neighbouring circle for transmission advantage. Circles should try to keep this number to the bare minimum to the extent possible. In all such exceptional cases, the circle concerned should furnish the list of such offices and destinations for which bag closing is required and seek approval of the Directorate.
4. A sorting extract based on PIN range for both unregistered and registered mail has been prepared for the purpose of sorting at the mail offices under the new arrangement and the same is being communicated by e-mail to the Circles. The same may be brought to the notice of all concerned. The information on mapping of all delivery post offices to their parent mail offices is also being provided by e-mail.
5. In case of metro cities such as Mumbai and Chennai, where more than one mail office are handling unregistered mail, such offices would continue to function as inward/outward /surface/air segments of the L-1 offices as the case may be. Bags for these cities will be closed based on the mode of transport through which they are routed by other L-1 or L-2 offices (air or surface)
6. Post Offices would prepare two kinds of bags (separate for unregistered and registered mail) for their parent mail office (L-1 or L-2 as the case may be), which would be as follows.
(a) A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by post offices mapped to the same parent mail office (for unregistered mail)
(b) A bag containing non-TD (NTD) i.e. all mail other than TD , to be delivered by post offices not mapped to the same parent mail office (for unregistered mail)
( c) A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by the post offices mapped to the same parent mail office ( for registered mail).
(d) A bag containing non-TD (NTD) mail, i.e. all mail other than TD, to be delivered by post offices no mapped to the same parent mail office (for registered mail)
(e) Post Offices would continue to retain station article i.e. articles to be delivered from the same post office in case of both unregistered and registered articles.
6. The bags to be closed between L-1 offices, between an L-1 office and L-2 offices mapped to it and vice versa, and between L-1/L-2 offices and post offices mapped to them and vice versa will be treated as “Due Bags” . The issue would be reviewed after a month of implementation of the redesigned network and changes will be done, if necessary, based on the mail volume.
7. The sorting cases and diagram at L-1 mail offices may be reorganized as follows:-
(a) Type I (For sorting of inbound TD and Local TD mail) : Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for (i) inbound/incoming mail received from other L-1 offices and meant for delivery post offices andL-2 mail offices mapped to the L-1 office and (ii) Local TD ( including catchment area of the L-1 office) mail received from all post offices mapped to the L-1 and to be delivered by the delivery post offices mapped to the L-1 office
(b) Type II (Non TD) Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for outbound /non-TD mail received from attached post offices and L-2 mail offices of the L-1 office and meant for other L-1 offices as well as L-2 mail offices mapped to the L-1 office under reference.
8. The sorting cases and diagram at L-2 mail offices may be reorganized as follows :
(a) Type I (Inbound TD and Local TD) : Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for (i) inbound/incoming mail received from parent L-1 office to which the L-2 office is mapped as well as other designated L-2 offices, and meant for delivery post offices mapped to the L-2 officer and (ii) Local TD (including catchment area of the L-2 office) mail received from all post offices mapped to the L-2 and to be delivered by the delivery post offices mapped to the L-2 office.
(b) Type II (Non –TD) Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for (i) inbound/non- TD received from attached post offices of the L-2 office and meant for other L-1 and L-2 offices.
(c) At some L-2 mail offices, there could be a situation where only one type of sorting case/diagram is sufficient to incorporate all selections in terms of local TD, inbound TD and non –TD mail . In such cases, only one type of sorting case/diagram should be used.
9. The sorting logic/diagram for Type I and II sorting cases described in para 8 above should be redesigned by each mail office based on the average mail volume for various destinations (mail offices and post offices, as the case may be). The destination with relatively higher mail volume should be kept for sorting under preliminary selection. The Circle may note that all mail offices under the new set up are expected to complete sorting for all destinations under two-stage sorting, and therefore, it is important to keep the exceptions mentioned in para 3 (c)above to the bare minimum.
10. The existing arrangement for bag closing at Business Post Centres (BPCs) and Mail Business Centres (MBCs) handling outward bulk mail would continue for the time being. Instructions in this regard would be issued separately at the later date.
11. The new operational network would come into effect from 15th February, 2012. All Circles and APS Directorate may complete action required to migrate to the new network by 14th February, 2012.
Receipt of this memo may be acknowledged to Shri M.B.Gajbhiye, ADG (MO) Room No. 337, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110 001.

The official copy of the  recorded minutes of the   RJCM meeting  held on 24.08.2011 is yet to be 
received at our end. Our Circle Secretary ( Member RJCM) has placed 22 subjects on the meeting
and for several items  the reply furnished in the draft copy  were not reflecting  the actuals and hence
the draft copy was returned back by our P3 union  thrice, requesting for suitable corrections. 

Despite of  repeated attempts, suitable  reply was not agreed by the Circle administration and hence 
our Circle Secretary  insisted for  recording "disagreement:" in the  final  recorded minutes.The
Circle administration says  that they never faced such "disagreement' recordings in the past and 
as such they felt much.  Our Circle Secretary(Member RJCM)  is fighting for the common cause of

our Circle Office bearers/ Divisional/Branch secretaries to send  their  item of subjects through

RJCM  is the highest body in State level and represented by all the  PMGs headed by Chief PMG, 
on behalf of the administration.The Circle administration cannot record replies arbitrarily.  Recordings 
should be made on the actuals based on the  outcome.  The final reply  is binding  all the PMGs,
including  the Chief PMG.

Any no. of subjects can be taken up in the RJCM and   the subjects should be only in general
nature and  should not be  'individual cases'. Hence Our Circle Secretary(Member, RJCM)

In case of PMI
It is further clarified that PMI is to be calculated for the complete month from the date of maturity and remaining part of the month is to be ignored. Revised example is given below:-
if an account was matured on 26.8.2009 and the depositor attends the post office on 30.01.2012, he/she will be paid PMI at the rate 3.5% from 26.08.2009 to 25.12.2011 (28 complete months) and at the rate 4% from 26.12.2011 to 25.01.2012 (one complete month). Period from 26.1.2012 to 30.1.2012 (being part of month) will be ignored.
Yours faithfully,
(Kawal Jit Singh)
Assistant Director (SB)
The issue was seriously discussed during the talks held on 10.1.2012 while pointing out the irregular orders released without making necessary corrections in the softwares.
