2013 December :
DoP order on abolition of posts in abeyance

Cash Conveyance limits

 Gr.D redesignation as MTS w.e.f 29-08-2008

Revised speed post delivery norms:

D.G. Posts No. 13-45/2008-D dated 10/11/.12.2013

The norms for delivery of Speed Post articles have in the past been revised from time to time and are also contained in the Citizen’s Charter of the Department. The existing delivery norms for Speed Post are follows:

(a)   Local (within municipal limits) : 2 days

(b) Between one to another metro city (included the six metro cities i.e. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad) and limited to Municipal limits of these cities: 2 days

(c)    Rest of the country: 4 to 6 days.

2.       The norms mentioned above are further qualified by stating that they exclude the day of posting, Sundays and Holidays that they denote maximum time and apply only to the articles booked before the cut-off time.

3.       The matter relating to revision of the existing norms for delivery of Speed Post articles was under consideration of this Directorate, and the following has been decided in this regard:

(a)      New delivery (transit) norms have been worked out on a city-to-city      basis for 87 cities where Speed Post Sorting Hubs are located (excluding 1  CBPO & 2 CBPO). The new delivery norms are being circulated to all concerned by e-mail along with this O.M. The same may be downloaded.

(b)      The new norms for a pair of cities have been prescribed in terms of a range. For example,

 The delivery norms between Mumbai and Pune is “1 to 2 days, i.e. D+1 to D+2 where “D”  is the day of booking.

(c)      The new norms would be restricted to the municipal limits of a city (covering only TD PIN codes) under reference.

4.       The new delivery norms for Speed Post would be subject to the conditions that:

*         They are limited to 87 cities, and municipal limit within these cities,

*         They do not apply to the articles booked after the cut-off time on a day(normally) taken as 3 or 4 pm for booking counters at post offices or as decided by the Circle concerned) and an extra day may be added in such cases,

*         The delivery norms do not include Sundays and holidays,

*         Delay occurring due to curfew, bandh or strike in a particular city may adversely affect delivery norms,

*         Delay occurring due to cancellation of flights/trains/buses/other means of transport for carriage of mail or off-load / non-carriage of mail by the   carriers due to any reason is beyond the control of the Department, and therefore, the same may adversely affect delivery norms.

*         Beyond the cities mentioned under the delivery norms document, extra days may be required which would vary from place to place..

5.       Circles may give wide publicity to the new norms among the public and display the norms in the shape of a matrix of prominent/frequently-used destinations at the post office as display of entire matrix perhaps may not be possible.

6.       The new delivery norms would also be placed on India Post website in a user-friendly format so that a user could easily find delivery/transit norms between a pair of cities. In the interim, a PDF version of the document is being uploaded on the Departmental website.

7.       This O.M. supersedes all previous instructions on Speed Post Delivery Norms issued by this Directorate/Business Development Directorate.

Copy of Directorate memo No. 19-14/2010-GDS dated  18 October,  2013

Subject:- MAINTENANCE OF SELECT PANEL WHILE FINANLIZING THE SELECTION OF VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS.

I am directed to refer your office letters No. STA/22-12/BG-West/III dated 12.03.2013 & 26.06.2013 and this Directorate letter No. even dated 25.06.2010 on the subject cited above and to clarify the doubts as follows:-

Ser	Point of doubt	Clarification
1	If the approved candidates in the merit list declined to accept the offer of appointment and still there are number of eligible candidates in the merit list, whether the selection may be made by listing another select panel of 5 more candidates applied to the original notification or re-notification is to be issued in such cases?	No. In case all five approved candidates decline, the select panel gets exhausted and, therefore, in such cases selection process is to be initiated afresh.
2	A panel of 5 candidates was finalized during December 2012. First candidate did not turn up and the next meritorious candidates was selected and appointed on 16.01.2013. But he was terminated from service w.e.f. 01.04.2013 for his unsatisfactory work. Whether third candidate in the panel of selection made in the said case may be appointed or to go again for fresh appointment by fresh notification?	Apart from the contingencies mentioned in Para 6(i) to (iii), the select panel may be utlized in other contingencies as well provided the select panel is valid reckoning one year from the date of finalization of the select panel initially.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

Dear

          There is a proposal to supply bicycles to Branch Offices for providing better postal access to the rural areas and also for delivery of mail.

2.       In this context, requirement of bicycles regarding their utility in your Circle for procurement of rural business like booking of articles, money orders, etc. through hand held devices need to be re-assessed. It may be kept in view that bicycles will also be used delivery of mails pending on local terrain, climate conditions like heavy rainfall, extreme heat and cold, etc. You may also like to have views / comments on this issue from the field offices, and especially from divisions falling in difficult areas like hilly areas, and desert areas, areas having very high rainfall.

3.       Kindly communicate your requirement of bicycles accordingly within one week positively. 

          With regards,

Yours Sincerely

(S.K. Sinha)
