Sub: Rotational Transfer of SBCO official
as per New Guidelines.
Ref. Dte No. F.No 141-141/2013-SPB-II dt
31st July 2018
Sir,
As
per guide lines issued by the Department vide no. as referred above, the tenure
of SBCO officials has also been declared as three years instead of 4(four)
years which is in existence now . The station tenure is also declared as 6
years.
In this connection we
would like to bring some facts to your kind notice for sympathetic
consideration.
SBCO was formed
bifurcating from the P&T audit purely on Administrative convenience and
setup at each Head Post Office. The LDC and UDC working pattern had also been
modified all along these years and both are merged and formed as PA(SBCO).
Till then, SBCO is
considered as a unique one and right from the recruitment it has separate
identity.
SBCO is working as
such at par with other cadre like Postal Asst (CO), DAP, P&T audit etc.,
and doing audit work in the present setup.
While the officials in
Circle office, DAP and P&T audit have no transfer to other office unless
they are willing or they are promoted, Postal Assistants are liable to be
transferred within the same Postal Division whether it forms within a city or
not. SBCO officials are liable to be transferred to other HOs once in 4 years
and therefore separate guidelines are applicable to SBCO. The promotional
avenues for the Postal Assistant cadre is also more. This shows no parity among
the cadres.
It is noteworthy here
that the Pay and allowances are same to Postal Assistant (SBCO) like Postal
Assistant (PO) Postal Assistant (CO). But SBCO officials are transferred to
other HOs in the Division cluster. This involves more expenditure maintaining
two establishments living away from family and also not remain in a position to
lookup the family being head of family. Sacrificing all these things, the SBCO
officials are rendering their best services to the Department and a good
custodian of Public money. As such it is strongly felt that treating SBCO cadre
at par with other PA cadre is not acceptable.
It is therefore
requested to kindly treat the SBCO cadre as a separate cadre and should be
given audit status and SBCO officials should be treated at par with DAP &
P&T Audit officials and liability of 3 years tenure transfer should not be
imposed on them.
Hoping for a positive action.
With
regards
Yours Sincerely,
(R.N.
Parashar)
Secretary
General
