Respected Sir,
Following items are hereby submitted for the four-monthly meeting of
April-2017 for discussion.
Items:
1
Construction
of Panaji Stg in bricks instead of iron sheet walls and provision of basic
amenities to staff:-
UNION BRIEF:
Panaji
sorting office (Goa) is NSH, CRC, L-1 office having good revenue under BD and
receiving lot of mails. Panaji sorting office office was at Panaji city but it
was shifted from Panaji city to Alto Porvorim in Postal Colony. Initially small
iron sheets rooms were provided after continuous follow up and items taken with
R.O. Panaji in Sept. 12 the then PMG has agreed to construct building but Local
Municipal authority has raised some technical problems for Building
construction permission hence for time being considering urgencies (temporally)
a extension to these rooms were made but it is of tin
sheets rooms i.e. Iron pillars and all sides are covered with iron sheets, (no
brick wall) and the roof also of iron sheets which are inconvenient. A Goa
state is hot climate place which make the room into a hot pot. (though fans are
provided). Goa is under heavy rain fall
state and rain drop falls on Tiny roof and create very big noise. Secondly
rooms for the ladies is provided outside of these rooms. During night duty
ladies could not find convenient to go every time outside office for famine
purpose or Tiffin purpose because some time street light goes off and there is
fear of reptiles and stray dogs in the premises. Hence it is a demand to make
provision of ladies room in the building itself
of Panaji stg. This issue pending with honourable PMG Goa since 2012 and
issue is again raised with Supdt. RMS BM
Div. Miraj again June 2016 and in
subsequent meetings. It is replied that matter is taken with R.O. Panaji and
estimate will be taken and civil wing will be addressed.
It is requested to provide proper
building having Brick walls and with Proper roof. Or provide space for
Panaji sorting office in new under construction building near ST Stand Panaji
at Patto Panaji.
2. Counting the period of
pre-appointment training period/induction training period for MACP Promotion in Maharashtra Circle.
Union
Brief : It is brought to notice of this
union that pre-appointment period /induction training period is not counted for
the purpose of MACP promotion in Maharashtra Circle. In this regard, I wish to
share the following on the counting the period of Induction and practical
training for MACPS in the Department of Posts. Hitherto the training period has
not been considered for the grant of promotion under MACPS. On perusal of the
rulings on the subject, it seems that the period of training is to be
considered for MACPS also. Whereas some circles are counted the training period
for MACP promotion but not implemented in our circle.
A kind reference is invited to the
following orders on the subject.
1.Dte
letter no 4-7/(MACPS)/2009-PCC dt 18.9.2009
2. Dte letter no 4-7/(MACPS)/2009-PCC dt 23.6.2016
All the candidates selected for PA/SA cadre are to undergo Induction and
practical training for 90/105 days, before regular
appointment.
1. Such period of training
was not counted for anything and their pay and allowances, increments were
regulated from their actual date of joining in the department as Postal
Assistants/ Sorting Assistant.
2. Subsequently, orders were
issued for counting the training period for increments and for the promotions
(financial upgradations) under TBOP and BCR schemes, vide Dept. of Personnel
and Trg OM 16/16/92-Estt( pay I) dt 31.3.1992.
3. The above provision was
made applicable with effect from 1.1.1986. The pay of the officials was
notionally fixed from 1.1.1986 to 30.9.1990 and on actual basis from 1.10.1990.
4. The above provision was
applicable to those officials who underwent training on or after 1.1.1986.
5. The provision was extended
to officials who underwent training before 1.1.86 vide Dte order number:
44-2/2011-SPB II dated 5.5.2016.
6. The scheme of MACPS was introduced
consequent on the implementation of 6th CPC with effect from
1.1.2006.
7. This scheme was given
effect from 1.9.2008 vide reference cited under 1 above.
8. The salient features of
the scheme were given in the Annexure-I to the communication cited under 2
above.
9. The second sentence of
para 9 of the Annexure read as follows: “Service rendered on adhoc/contract
basis before regular appointment or pre-appointment training shall not be taken
into reckoning. A casual reading of the text gives the meaning that the
pre-appointment training shall not be taken into reckoning. Under this context,
the training period was omitted for the grant of MACP to the officials, it is
presumed.
10. But a close reading of the above text gives a
different but correct meaning. The meaning of the above text may be explained
as follows. If the sentence is broken into smaller parts, they read as follows.
a. Service rendered on
adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment shall not be taken into reckoning.
b. Service rendered on
adhoc/contract basis before pre-appointment training shall not be taken into
reckoning.
11. From (a) and (b) above only the service, if
any, rendered on adhoc/contract basis either before regular appointment or before
pre-appointment training shall not be taken into reckoning.
12. From the above it is clear that pre-appointment
training shall count for MACPS, as the above text speaks only about the
services rendered on adhoc or contract basis which might before regular
appointment or before pre-appointment training, and nothing about the training
period.
13. As per the communication cited under 2 (I.e.
clarification dated 23.06.2016) above,
the second sentence of para 9 is modified as follows: “service rendered on
adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment on pre-appointment training
shall not be taken into reckoning.”
14. From the above, it is clear that any service
rendered on adhoc/contract basis will not count, but the training period counts
for the grant of promotion under MACPS. It is added that as per our
departmental rules, the training period is neither treated as service on adhoc
basis nor on contract basis in as much as this period counts for increment.
16. Accordingly, the pre appointment training period is being
calculated in other circles i.e. Andra Pradesh Circle Copy attached.
17. It is added that just like TBOP/BCR schemes,
MACPS is also a financial upgradation only. Hence the provision of counting
training period towards TBOP/BCR will squarely applicable to MACPS also.
It is therefore requested to your honour that kindly
look into the matter advice to all regions for count the pre appointment
training period for the purpose of MACP promotion or sought clarification from
the directorate on the subject.
