Madam,
Sub:- Enhancement of conveyance charge for conveyance of excess cash by GDSBPMs/GDS -An insurance facility for retention of cash-reg.
As per the Directorate letter No. 62-90/87/CI Dated. 21-1-88, wherein the BPMs are entitled to reimbursement of the actual fares (both ways) plus 10/- in case they clear excess cash from the Branch Office to the account office provided that the excess cash is over and above of twice the line limit of remittance between the BO and AO. In other words, If the surplus cash cannot be cleared by remittance through the BO bag according to line limit, the BPM who has to clear the same to the account office for which the above mentioned actual fares plus Rs.10/- will be reimbursed to him, Now again that TRCA has been fixed by the recommendations of GDS Committee report dated 09-10-2010 conveyance charge only Rs.50/- par month which is very much meagre and required to be enhanced. This union feels that this compensation should be related with the TRCA + D.A. drawn by the Gramin Dak Sevaks. So this union suggests that the actual fares plus Rs.100/- may be fixed to be reimbursed by the GDSBPM's on such occasions.
We urge the administration to consider this subject and take necessary action to enhance the conveyance charges for the conveyance of excess cash as the actual fares incurred plus Rs.100/- at the earliest. At Present other than GDS Cadre Cash overseer/Mail overseer/ Postal Asst. are getting more allowance other than BPM/SPM, they are getting 100/- same as applicable GDS. This discrimination should be removed
INSURANCE FACILITY FOR RETENTION OF CASH
There are occasions where heavy cash to the tune of lakhs of rupees are retained in the custody of BPM in rural areas due to unsatisfactory collection facilities. The risk involved is very heavy like MNREGS, Bill collation and new business schemes. And unnecessarily BPM other GDS Staff are mode to take risks. To avoid such eventuality regular insurance of such amounts be made by making an understanding with the insurance companies. The Postal administration should see that the cash is not detained unnecessarily in BOs and arrangements be made to clear the same immediately.
You are, therefore, requested kindly to consider this subject and take necessary action to enhance the conveyance charges for the conveyance of excess cash as the actual fares incurred plus Rs.100/- at the earliest, also to consider new insurance facility for retention of cash in case of GDS staff.
Soliciting an immediate response,
Yours faithfully,
