The Supdt. Of Post offices, Jorhat Divn  has been directing the  Postal assistant including the lady officials to act as witness/shadow witness in the criminal cases/raids of CBI. The postal officials after  doing the job as directed by the CBI, are to attend regularly  in the CBI court.

              Witnesses/shadow witnesses.

 3.      Medical facilities from CGHS and Bank loan facilities :

 

The postal officials of greater Guwahati  may get Medical facilities  from CGHS but the officials posted  outside Guwahati or in remote places in Guwahati Division  can not get the said medical facilities as and when exigency occurs and therefore the officials other than greater Guwahati do not opt  for having medical facilities from CGHS. But the SSPOs, Guwahati has ordered the DDOs of Guwahati Division to make it mandatory for deduction of CGHS fees without even obtaining willingness from the officials. Therefore the compulsory  deduction of  CGHS fees  from pay bill of the officials posted outside greater  Guwahati  may kindly be stopped and the already deducted CGHS fees  may kindly be get refunded.

 Reply:- This will be examined and issue suitable instructions to all DDOs. If found any mistake due to any reason, this will be rectified.

 

Further the pay and allowances  are now  disbursed  from the Bank account of the concerned officials.  The DDO is required to sign in a declaration form as and when  somebody wants to take loan from the bank. Earlier the DDOs do not sign in the declaration form  since  disbursement are made in cash. The system is still in vogue and therefore the willing postal officials are debarred from taking bank loan.

 

Reply:-  As regards undertakings to be given by the employer in respect of bank loan in the prescribed application form, the official/officer has to give in writing to the competent authority stating the reason for which the loan is sought for and details thereof. Concerned DDOs will examine and put up to the competent authority for favour of approval.
