AIPAEA/CHQ/14                                                                                       Dated: 27-11-2014

To,
Sri. Rajnish Kumar,
DDG (PAF),
Department of Posts,
New Delhi.

Sub:- Non-implementation of judgment of Hon’ble Central Administrative
          Tribunal, Principal Bench in O.A. No. 2124/2011 upheld by Hon’ble
          High Court, Delhi by PAOs – Regarding.

Sir,
I am hereunder submitting the details of the cases pending implementation of the judgment of the Hon’ble CAT, Principal Bench, New Delhi in the O.A. No. 2124/2011.

Out of 20 Postal Accounts Circles 16 Postal Accounts Offices are having the Senior Accountants eligible for stepping up of their pay as enunciated by the Hon’ble Tribunal.

The PAOs Ambala, Ahmedabad, are having only three cases each and were settled. The PAO Sundernagar is having the cases of four Senior Accountants, who joined the Department as Gr.D/Sorter.

Excluding the above stated three small Circles, in the remaining 13 Postal Accounts Offices only 3 PAOs i.e. Chennai, Jaipur and Trivandrum have made payment to all eligible officials (excluding the Gr. D /Sorter entry grade Senior Accountants). In all other PAOs i.e. 9 PAOs (Information from Delhi unit awaited) the Judgment has not been implemented in respect of many eligible officials. Only partial implementation has taken place.


In spite of the clear-cut clarifications issued by the PA Wing the PAOs are reluctant to make payment on one pretext or the other. The PA Wing vide its Lr. no. 33(3)/10/PA-Admn.I/104-129 dated 9-4-14 reiterated its earlier clarification (Point 1) that the pay of all Sr. Acctts should be stepped up who had entered the Department as LDCs and subsequently promoted as JA/SA should be considered on par with Sr. Acctts who are junior to the former in the SA cadre. This basic clarification has not been followed by the PAOs. Instead they are comparing the pay in the lower cadre i.e. JA cadre ignoring the position in the S.A. cadre. This Association has been requesting to step up the pay of the senior most S.A. with that of the junior in the SA Cadre on account of junior S.A. drawing more pay due to promotion under ACP/MACP. Another reason for non-compliance is the subjective interpretation of “applicant” by the PAOs like Lucknow, Bhopal.

I am herewith furnishing the annexures containing the list of not settled cases submitted to CHQ by the Circle Associations of AIPAEA for your perusal.

I request you to kindly cause necessary favourable action in this regard.

With Regards,


(T.SATYANARAYANA)
General Secretary

Government to replace affidavits with self-attested documents; order soon

The Centre will replace the requirement of furnishing affidavits with self-attested declarations in a major chunk of government-related work and an official order in this regard will be issued soon, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today. 

"This thought (to promote self-attestation) was in the process. But it was not been implemented in the full way. No notification has been issued on it. It will be done soon," he told a press conference on works done by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions during the 100 days of the NDA government. 

He said different departments have different sensitivities. However, self-attestation would be pushed to the maximum extent possible, the minister said. 

"There may be a problem when you go to some place and an officer may say he will not receive a self-attested document. He will say there is no such order. So, the order will be issued by us. But, till then all stakeholders including the state governments need to work together for it," said Singh. 

He said self-certification of documents is going to be a great boon for the unemployed youth. "In certain security- related matters, gazetted certification might have to be retained, after a dispassionate look," he said. 

"For the first time in independent India, the practice of documents being attested by gazetted officers will be done away with. We have broadly focused on making governance good and simple in the last three months," Singh said, referring to the work done by the ministry. 

He said the promotion of self-certification in place of notarised affidavits will be a significant step in making life easier for the common man and building trust. "As India goes into the 21st century, everyone would recognise the stakes involved in false attestation," he said.
