Article 2 - MYTHS AND FACTS OF CADRE RESTRUCTURE REGARDING GROUP C EMPLOYEES

Dear Friends....

    Yesterday, Group C - Cadre restructure posts were identified at Tamilnadu Circle and newly identified LSG/HSG II/HSG I offices lists are released as per the cadre restructure order of the directorate dated 27.05.2016.

      Many people are still in confusion about cadre restructure and some of the officials are misleading them too.

     Many myths are wandering each and every corner of the postal circles. So to get full stop for those Myths, this article was published to create awareness among the Group C employees.

Myth 1:

MACP 1 officials will be posted at newly identified LSG offices(B class and C class offices).

MACP 2 officials will be posted at newly identified HSG-II offices(A class and norm based LSG offices).

MACP 3 officials will be posted at newly identified HSG - I offices(Previous HSG-II and HSG-I offices).

Fact:

Article 1 - MYTHS AND FACTS OF CADRE RESTRUCTURE REGARDING PM CADRE dated 04.06.2016(Republished)

DEAR POSTMASTERS

              Cadre restructure order was released from the Directorate to all the circles on 27.05.2016 for the Group C cadre of Postal operative wing except RMS/SBCO/PM cadre. 

              Since nothing was mentioned about Postmaster cadre in the Cadre Restructure, there are so many myths are being circulated around all the corners of India about the Postmaster cadre restructure. To clarify the officials of Postmaster cadre official this post is published in Tamilnadu Blog.

Myth no 1

There is no Postmaster Cadre detail found in Cadre Restructure report. Hence no such proposal regarding to Postmaster Cadre.

Fact :

The data related to LSG/HSG II/HSG I/HSG I(NFG) posts before/after cadre restructure can be released one cadre by one cadre. Vide Para ‘F’ of Cadre restructure bilateral agreement with department and staff side dated 28.04.2014, Postmaster cadre related cadre restructure also would have been examined in the light of the same. That means once this cadre restructure is completed PM Cadre restructure will be done as per the same guidelines of Group 'C' Cadre.

For such initiatives, this association conveys our heartfelt gratitude to the honorable CPMG Sir, respected DPS and the entire circle administration for the positive response to this association genuine demands.

"Allowance report to be submitted today"

Proving all earlier reports wrong, the committee for higher allowances for central Govt. employees yet to submit it's report.

Now NJCA Chairman Mr Shiv Gopal Mishra predicts the report to be submitted today. As today has been the last date of the extended tenure of the committee, he may have predicted this before media!

Here is the recent media report from India.com published on 21.02.2017

Directorate Letter No. 20-45/2016-SPB-II dated 18th Feb 2017 regarding clarification on Benchmark for Promotion.

IPPB to Send and Receive Money on the Basis of Aadhaar Number

Your 12-digit Aadhaar number could soon become your single-point payment address.

With the help of India Post Payment Bank (IPPB), over 112 crore Indians will be able to send and receive money only on the basis of the Aadhaar number; it won't matter whether it is linked to a bank account or not.

India Post Payment Bank CEO AP Singh told that currently, Aadhaar is not a payment address in itself, but the payments bank, which plans to start operations from September 2017, will change that. The bank, which hopes to cover at least 650 districts of the country in the initial stage, aims to “simplify and universalise” payments systems.
