Minutes of the CWC meeting of the Orissa Circle Branch Association held on 03.01.2010 (Sunday) at Bhubaneswar

The CWC meeting of the Association was held in the Recreation Club of Bhubaneswar GPO on 03.01.2010 in accordance with the notification issued on 18.12.2009.

2. At the outset, the President conveyed hearty felicitations to all the members on New Year 2010. The Circle Secretary conveyed the views of the General Secretary regarding the upgradation of grade pay of IPs. The members opined that the grade pay of IPs should be upgraded to Rs.4600/- and that of the ASPs to Rs.4800/-. Members present were unanimous of sending representations individually to DG (Posts) in the proforma already circulated (by e-mail and through posting in the blog) endorsing copy to General Secretary by 10.01.2010 to press for immediate upgradation of grade pay of IPs to Rs.4600/-.

3. The members raised their concern over the matter of termination of officiating arrangement of IPs to ASP cadre and ASPs to PS Gr.B cadre on completion of 11 eleven months and over their demotion to their original grade thereby putting them in embarrassing situation. It was decided that Circle Secretary will write to Circle Administration to take up the matter with DOPT through DG(Posts) well in advance so that permission can be obtained for continuation of officiating arrangement beyond 11 months.

If the matter is not solved within a reasonable time, it will be taken up by the Circle Secretary with Head of the Circle in the four-monthly meeting. Members also resented withholding of 10% of incentives on PLI business and wanted initiatives to get the withheld portion of the incentives released. Circle Secretary will take up the matter with the Circle Administration.

The members expressed their concern over low amount of collection of subscription from members. Collection of subscription for the year 2008-09 and 2009-10 was found wanting from a number of members in the Circle. This has affected the fund position of the Association.

The Treasurer and the Asst.
