From the desk of general secretary, all India association of postal supervisors,

Compiled the following significant things, happened during 2018 under the banner of AIAPS

1. Year 2018 was started with many challenges in front of us, since even after secty Posts meeting, minutes copy was not provided by saying more than 3 agendas discussed and 7 AIAPS members were participated in the secty posts meeting dated 25/7/17.  Meetings with directorate officers are not only to discuss the things but to get solutions to our prolonged issues. So aggrieved with that reply of the directorate, during January 2018 filed an OA at Hon'ble chennai CAT and got court direction to give the minutes copy for the same Secty Posts meeting discussion dated 25.7.17 within 12 weeks.

2. So immediately PM CR proposal is initiated on 31.01.2018.

3. During April 2018  more members were enrolled and new aiaps divisions were also constituted through out the circles.

4. During May 2018, West Bengal Circle was formed newly with AIAPS. I had personally attended the WB conference, which was arranged neatly.

AIAPS, NFPE and FNPO all are joining together with 2019 JANUARY 8th & 9th NATION WIDE TWO DAYS STRIKE! MAKE IT A GRAND SUCCESS!!!

All India Association of Postal Supervisors - association also shall participate in the two days national wide strike on 08th and 9th January 2019 along with NFPE, FNPO, GDS associations with  Separate charter of 23 demands like 

1. scrap New Pension Scheme to restore old pension scheme, 

2. immediately stop dividing postal department 5 corporate sectors vide TSR Subrmanian committee report, 

3. Pay upgradation and rationalised promotional avenues to Postmasters, 

4. Ensuring Group C CR promotional avenues to Supervisors w.e.f, 27.5.16,

5. Five days work in a week etc.,

All Important Key post offices also will be kept closed since AIAPS also participating in the upcoming strike.

This strike is to save our department, save our government employment and to uphold our job profile. 

So all circle secretaries and office bearers are requested to intensify the strike campaign to make this 2 days strike grand success.

Aadhar mandatory for PAN and filing IT return, NOT for Bank A/C & Mobile connection

New Delhi, Sep 26 (PTI) The Supreme Court Wednesday declared the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but struck down some of its provisions including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra held that while Aadhaar would remain mandatory for filing of IT returns and allotment of Permanent Account Number (PAN), it would not be mandatory to link Aadhaar to bank accounts and telecom service providers cannot seek its linking for mobile connections.

It would not be mandatory for school admissions, as also for the examinations conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Examination, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical entrance and the University Grants Commission.

The bench also struck down the national security exception under the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act.

It said Aadhaar is meant to help the benefits reach the marginalised sections of society and takes into account the dignity of people not only from personal but also community point of view.

The top court said Aadhaar is serving much bigger public interest. Aadhaar means unique and it is better to be unique than being best.

There are three sets of judgements being pronounced. The first of the three verdicts was pronounced by Justice A K Sikri who wrote the judgement for himself, CJI and Justice A M Khanwilkar.

May day wishes and stand of AIAPS against anti-labour policies

During 1886 May 1st, because of the continuous struggles and protests at Chicago, America and other countries, after sacrificing so many lives, 8 hours work, 8hours rest, 8 hours sleep was ensured to all the labours by law.

   But for the past 4 years that hard earned 8 hours work labour right was blown into wind after CBS, CIS, CSI at DOP.

   Nowadays our DOP staffs are habituated to work for more than 10 hours by losing our hard earned labour right for nothing.

   If down time faced in CBS, CIS, CSI, then that should be definitely compensated at any cost. That was also not claimed by us.

Dear Postmasters and supervisors,

    You are all well aware that AIAPS team are working hard daily from April to march all the twelve months of every year towards Postmasters and supervisors welfare  in addition by sacrificing most of the family/social commitments amidst office hectic and killing workload.

    For such sleepless efforts, In return we are expecting nothing from members except onething that is sparing just one April month for membership campaign by all the members, divisional/regional/circle secretaries.

    If our association is strengthen then only we could achieve more like pay hike, PS Group B/Sr.PM exams and promotions, CR to PM, administrative/financial powers to PM and supervisory cadres.

AAO exam related FAQ and reply by AIAPS related to Postmaster Cadre...

1. Age limit is 30 and other reservation age relaxation may also apply. In addition to that 5 years age relaxation for government officials also can be claimed.

2. Regarding eligibility this is the first time, eligibility was fixed by pay matrix levels. So MTS to PM Grade II/HSG II officials can apply. Level 1 to 6 can apply. IPs are now in level 7 now. So they cannot apply.
