Sub:     Functioning of CBS rolled out post offices and miserable plight of staff working therein.

Respected Sir,

            I am constrained to bring to your kind notice the dismal quality of functioning of CBS post offices after their rolling out. We have already inadequate staff in the operative offices which were being managed on point of sale and Sanchay Post. The time taken for each transaction on Finacle is higher than the transaction made on Sanchay Post i.e if the net connectivity and server functioning is smooth. Moreover, the process for finacle transaction is lengthy taking much time making the public to stand for much higher time.

            The post office has already adequate workload and fixed transaction rate in the month. As such, the entire work during the month has to be completed. Due to poor quality of net and central server and non availability of UPS, Genset, the work is never completed by 1700 hours and the poor staff has to wait for completion of work and initiation of day end transactions by sitting late even by 2300 hours or more. The administration has no concern and they are making phonic directions to the staff from the residence for initiation of day end insisted by CPC Shimla. The poor staff is working under public pressure and poor infrastructure is suffering more and working in the non congenial atmosphere. It is definitely violation of Human Rights and labor laws. The administration has never thought of compensation to the staff sitting beyond duty hours. Moreover, the quality of work has declined and the revenue also.

            The H.P Circle is facing acute shortage of 250+ Postal Assistants for the last two years. As such, it is not possible for the existing staff to work in this atmosphere.

            The argument of the administration that the CBS will stabilize with the time but who will bear the sufferings , the mental tension , the health problems of the staff.

            The Circle Conference held at Jawalaji on 25.12.2015 has passed a resolution seeking redressal of issues mentioned therein. The copy of the resolution is enclosed for further necessary action at your level.

            It is further requested that no office be rolled out to CBS without ensuring the availability of prerequisite for CBS. 

With New Year 2016 greetings,

Yours comradely,

(H.S Guleria)

Circle Secretary
