Circle Union writes to the Chief PMG for maintaining hierarchy during posting of approved LSG officials against temporarily down-graded HSG-I and HSG-II posts in Odisha Circle


No. P3NFPE – Odisha / 10 – 12 / 2017
Dated at Bhubaneswar the 15th December, 2017
To
Dr. S K Kamila, IPoS
Chief Postmaster General
Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar – 751 001

Sub:- Request for maintaining hierarchy during posting of approved LSG officials against temporarily down-graded HSG-I and HSG-II posts in Odisha Circle

Ref.- C O Memo No. EST / 1 – 2 / Rlg / 2016 – Corr-II, dated 08.12.2017 

Respected Sir,
Now, as many as 233 posts of HSG-I / HSG-II (74 HSG-I and 159 HSG-II posts) have been downgraded temporarily to LSG cadre vide C O Memo under reference and these posts are going to be filled in by the approved LSG officials.

In this context, this Circle Union would like to suggest that such downgraded posts may be filled up in accordance with seniority from HSG-I to HSG-II. The senior most officials who are already in LSG posts may be preferred to be posted against HSG-I posts first and the chain may flow downward for HSG-II so that the senior officials may not feel awkward to work under the junior officials.

Since as per instructions contained in Para – 4.3 of the Directorate’s letter No.6-07/2017-WI & Sports, dated 28.11.2017, for better management of transfer and posting and to minimize inconvenience to staff, now Circle would allot officials to Regions for further allotment to Divisions which in turn shall issue the posting orders in case of LSG officials, this Union would like to request you to cause necessary instructions to all the Divisional Heads to accommodate the senior LSG officials in HSG-I posts first to maintain the hierarchical structure and then go downward in the seniority list to fill up the HSG-II and LSG posts to avoid any kind of inconvenience to the staff members.

With regards.
Yours faithfully,

B SAMAL

Circle Secretary

Circle Union writes to Chief PMG regarding temporary down-gradation of HSG-I and HSG-II posts to LSG cadre in Odisha Circle


No. P3NFPE – Odisha / 09 – 12 / 2017
Dated at Bhubaneswar the 15th December, 2017
To
Dr. S K Kamila, IPoS
Chief Postmaster General
Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar – 751 001

Sub:- Regarding temporary down-gradation of HSG-I and HSG-II posts to LSG cadre in Odisha Circle

Ref.- C O Memo No. EST / 1 – 2 / Rlg / 2016 – Corr-II, dated 08.12.2017 

Respected Sir,
As per Annexure – I and Annexure – II of C O Memo under reference, 74 HSG-I posts and 159 HSG-II posts have been downgraded respectively to LSG cadre.

The 74 downgraded HSG-I posts include the Postmaster posts of Aska HO, Dhenkanal HO, Rairangpur  HO and Uditnagar HO and such other HSG-I Postmasters in different establishments preferably in MDGs.

Thus, as a result of such down-gradation, there will a problem in settlement of death-claim cases since the sanction limit of HSG-I Postmasters differs from that of the LSG Postmasters which will directly increase the workload of the Gazetted Postmasters/SPOs/SSPOs.

As such, a feasible solution in this regard is requested to avoid further complications.

With regards.
Yours faithfully,

B SAMAL
Circle Secretary

3 ways Should be followed for Seeding of Aadhaar and Mobile Numbers in Finacle

The following 3 way Strategy for Seeding of Aadhaar and Mobile Numbers in Finacle :

1. Suspension of CIFs of Closed Accounts : It is well known to all that we are having CIFs relating to each and every type of account in System and the officewise details of total number of CIFs are also shown on newly introduced portal. In this Total Figure CIFs of already closed Accounts are also showing as they have not been Suspended on the time of closure of the Account. Hence the Competent Authority has directed to identify and ensure Suspension of these CIFs in Finacle by this week Positively.

2. Merger of CIFs and Suspension of Merged CIFs - It is also known to all that in our post offices We are having customers with multiple Accounts and most of the customers are having Multiple RD,MIS and TD Accounts through MPKBY and SAS Agents. The Competent Authority has directed to ensure meeting with all agents and to ask them to provide list of Such Multiple account being operated through them. This list can easily be generated through AGENT PORTAL by importing Customer wise data in Excel format.

We have to Merge these Multiple CIFs and also to ensure Suspension of Merged CIFs in Finacle and we may also adopt this Strategy for Counter Customers who are regularly doing Transactions at counters.

3. Seeding of Aadhaar and Mobile Numbers in Merged CIFs - Accordingly we may also request MPKBY and SAS agents to provide AADHAR NUMBER AND MOBILE NUMBER of these bulk customers whom they are contacting on monthly basis for collection of RD Instalment.

The Competent authority has directed that this 3 way working Strategy would raise our AADHAAR AND MOBILE NUMBER SEEDING percentage at once and also remove discrepancies from our data.

Do you know where your Aadhaar has been used?

Do you know where your Aadhaar has been used? This is how you can find out

Do you know you can find out when and where your Aadhaar card was used for authentication? Since Aadhaar is used for authentication to avail of several services, you might be worried about its misuse. The website of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the body that manages Aadhaar, has the provision of checking where and when your Aadhaar was used. 

Follow these steps to know when and where your Aadhaar was used: 

1. Go to Aadhaar authentication history page:https://resident.uidai.gov.in/notification-aadhaar 

2. Enter your Aadhaar number and the security code in the picture. 

3. Click on 'Generate OTP'. 

4. You will receive an OTP on your mobile phone. Make sure you had verified your number with the UIDAI website.

If you find something suspicious, you can even lock your Aadhaar information online and unlock it whenever you want to use it. And while you are figuring that out, don't forget the linking deadlines are fast approaching.
