To,
All CHQ Office Bearers,
All Circle / Regional / Divisional Secretaries,
Dear Brothers / Sisters,
Namaskaar !
Hope you will find it in a healthy manner. Unfortunately, there was a long gap of more than six months in seeing all of you through this circular. Almost we have completed one year after our XVII th all India conference held at Saharanpur(U.P.) from 10-04-2011 to 12-04-2011under the chairmanship of Sh. R. Brindavanakanan, All India President of AIAPS(GL). As I promised in the all India conference, I tried my best to get my transfer in CHQ Delhi and it was rewarded when I received the order for my deputation to BD&MD ,New Delhi. I had relieved in June 2011 from Bijnor and reported to BD&MD.But my presence in Directorate was not acceptable to some of other union leaders and their nearest high officers, so I was ordered to report back to my home division just after a week. I had shifted my family and all belongings to Delhi. This was embarrassing to my position as well as for this association also. So I decided not to go back and applied for leave. From July 2011 to this day I'm running on leave. This is the main cause which made me busy about such efforts and restless introversionity not allowed me,even for a regular contact with all of you through circulars and web page also. As a result of my commitment to this association, I have applied for Forgien Service to serve the association as full time employee in CHQ. My request to grant me Forgien Service is under process and should be accepted by this month probably and than I will be available in CHQ Delhi to serve all of you friends with full of my caliber.
As per ruling, during forgien service, salary and leave salary will be paid to me by this association and such consent has been sent to department. At this moment, the budget and financial position of our association is not too hidden from your sight. So it is appropriate to make again an appeal before all of you to think over it and to remit assistance as well as CHQ Quota money in time, to the treasurer or directly to me to this address:-----

HSG-I Recruitment Rules
As all of you are well known that HSG-I Recruitment Rules are under preparation from last one year. The UPSC has not cleared the HSG-I Recruitment Rules so far. It raised many queries like variation in the no. of posts (i.e.) as per the 1976 Recruitment Rules which is around 250 Posts and the present around 1700 posts. They are seeking the establishment sanctions for all the Posts created after the old 1976 recruitment rules. The department is now preparing a certificate about the existence of posts duly signed by the Secretary herself and is submitting to UPSC for approval.
Resultantly carving out of Postmaster Grade III is delayed; transfer of all the HSG I posts to General line will also be delayed. Once again, the DOPT is being approached for grant of further extension of 6 months in case of HSG-I adhoc arrangements due to non finalization of the HSG I Recruitment Rules.
This association is insisting that in the absence of non approval of HSG I Recruitment Rules and protracted delay as seen in between the UPSC and the Department, the Circle Heads should be permitted to fill up all the HSG I posts as per the existing recruitment Rules for which the DOPT may be approached. The stalemate cannot be allowed further.
Rotataional Transfer Policy
Rotataional Transfer Policy guidelines has so been declared by Directorate for 2012-13 vide his No. 141-91/2012-SPB-II Dated 02-04-2012. Acccording to this, employees of all cadres including Stenographers and Mail Moter Staff, completing Post Tenure of Four Years OR Station Tenure of Six years, may be rotated subject to the existing instructions/prinicples of rotataional transfer. This association has approched not to apply Six year Station tenure in case of General Line Supervisors.Postmaster’s Cadre
There is no improvement or any decision taken and this association conveyed it's strong resentment over the delay in the decision. Merely sticking to the point of separate hierarchical cadre and denying the dues to the opted officials is mounting dissatisfaction and dissent over the cadre and will hamper the efficiency at one stage. If the Postmasters are not permitted to appear IPO/Group B Exam, we may be forced to demand merger of all supervisors and introduce exam for 1/3rd vacancies of all LSG and restore status quo ante as per the Sixth CPC which is not in favour of creation of new cadres.
Aware: All the Units of Association
After too many correspondence and clarifications, in some of the Circles, like- A.P. and U.P. we are still under harassment by Postal Administration and Recognition is not extended in some divisional units. In some units, monthly subscription is also not beeing deducted from our member's salary. All this is just voilation of rules. Now all of you please be aware of it that you are a well recognized association having its All India status and ensure the following points :--
0 whether all trade union facilities are being provided to your unit or not ?
0 monthly deduction of subscription from the salary of members of association are
being made regularly or not ?
0 New members can be enrolled in the month of April every year. So,pepare an up-to-date list
of your bonafied members & send a copy of list to me as well as to DDO for monthly
deduction of subscription. .
0 Preserve safely all letters of authorization with you duly signed by your members .
0 Bi-annial elections of your unit must be organized in due time.
If you have any problem in the way of smooth running of association, kindly do write to me with a copy to the authorities of your division / circle.
But before doing all this, kindly ask a little question with you- whether you have remitted your contribution as CHQ quota / Donation to this association ? It's most important.
With all the Best to you all & your family .Long Live AIAPS GL !

Amendments to the constitution of A.I.A.P.S.(G.L.)
Now, Newly formed POSTMASTER CADRE will also be the MEMBERS of All India Association of Postal Supervisors: Important Amendment
Some of the Important amendments to the constitution / by-laws of A.I.A.P.S.(G.L.) WERE passed unanimously during the 17th All India Conference of A.I.A.P.S. (G.L.) held at Saharanpur(U.P.) from 10-04-2011 to 12-04-2011.Two copies of the amendments are already been sent to Postal Directorate on 26 April 2011 for approval.
The matter is under approval with Department, and in such condition neither department can refuse to approve these amendments, nor any other union or association can claim for this newly form cadre, Because,A.I.A.P.S.(GL) is the only recognized association concerns with Postal Supervisors cadre like: TBOP, BCR, LSG, HSG. As the department has disolved TBOP/BCR and introduced MACP-I,II,III and other side, LSG/HSG postal supervisers directly promoted to new Post Master Gr-I &II basically. In such condition, MACP -II & III and also Postmaster Gr-I, II, III will be the member of this Supervisors Association only. It's very clear that the basic mother cadre for MACP-II, III and Postmaster Gr-I, II are TBOP, BCR and LSG, HSG respactively, which were already with A.I.A.P.S.GL.
So kindly be clear about this propaganda and enroll the MACP-II,III & Postmaster Gr-I,II,III as members of this association only.
Amendments to the constitution / by-laws of A.I.A.P.S.(G.L.)
Para (i) Part I- General Membership

General Secretary's Circular- 01
Circular No.01 Dt. 01 June 2011
To,
All CHQ Office Bearers,
All Circle / Regional / Divisional Secretaries,
Dear Brothers / Sisters,
Namaskaar !
After the 17 th All India Conference, held at Saharanpur (U.P.) this year, it's my Ist interaction with you all through this circular & hope you will get it in a healthy way !
17th A.I.C. - When We Met
As all of you know, XVII th All India Conference of A.I.A.P.S. (G.L.) was successfully organized at Saharanpur (U.P.) from 10-04-2011 to 12-04-2011 under the Chairmanship of Sh. R. Brindavanakanan, (A.I.President ) Supervisor, Anna Road H.O. Chennai-2.
Sh.Jagadish Rana, Hon'ble Member of Parliament & Sh. Sanjay Garg, Hon'ble Minister, Govt. of U.P. have graced the open session held on 10-4-2011 with their valuable presence. Sh. K.Kanniappan, former General Secertary, Sh. M.I.Khan, former A.I.President & Sh.K. Sarvothaman, former A.G.S. have also graced the occasion with their valuable guidence. I want to thank the Saharanpur Reception Committee as well as U.P.circle unit of association for a memorable function and comfort, they have managed for our delegates & respected guests attended AIC from different parts of the country.
Directorate's Recognition
Postal Department has recognized the fresh central body elected in the 17th A.I.C.and a list of fresh office bearers of All India Association of Postal Supervisors (G.L.) duly approved by Directorate, has so been circulated vide Letter No.17-08 / 2005-SR Dated 18 May 2011 by the SR section under the signature of Sh. Subhash Chander, Dierctor SR & Legel, Deptt. of Posts, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi to all Heads of the Circle,PMGs,Directors & other concerns.
Now, The Sky is CLEAR
After Recognizing the fresh election of CHQ office bearers & extending the Trade Union Facilities to the newly elected body of All India Association of Postal Supervisors (G.L.), there is NOTHING to say. Each and every point of doubt raised by rivals about our existence, has removed so far. It's very clear that whenever our newly elected central committee has been recognized by the Department, than recognition to any Circle or Divisional unit CAN NOT be STOPPED in due course. Another fact about the propaganda beeing made by the rival unions is that- maximum of the new CHQ office bearers are the members of this association after 1997. Because, department knows very well about the basic facts of our court case pending with the Hono'ble High Court. And, this is a trade union, not any immovable property where meaning of maintain the status may be 'not to make any change in original structure'.So,in this association, the democratic process of regular elections & enrolment of new members as per the provisions of it's constitution,can not be stopped at any level. It must be clear to all concerns, and even if any problem is beeing created with any unit of this association, may be reported to me with all findings-n-facts in time.
Deduction of Subscription
In some units of Uttar Pradesh circle (as. Saharanpur, Bijnor & Barabanki Dn.) deduction of subscription from the salary of members as well as call for periodical meetings with divisional heads were stopped, taking the wrong cognizance of the department's letter dated 03-03-2010. This action was quite illegal. A.I.A.P.S.(GL) is a centraly recognized association and deduction of subscription from the salary of it's members can not be stopped. Postal Directorate has again cleared the fact in it's letter no.13/01/2010-SR dated 03 Dec 2010 a/t C.P.M.G. U.P. circle that- membership subscription of the association is not to be stopped, by taking cognizance of the letter dated 03-03-2010. A copy of the said letter is also sent harewith for ready reference and to represent the concern offices, when & where such type of problems are being created by Divisional / Regional / Circle Heads.
Financial Position:Remittance of Quota Money
As all of you know very well that Strength, Unity & Funds are the three basic factors for a strong organisation. Unfortunately, no way to say about weak financial position of this association.Even after many earnest appeals to remit donation and quota-money to CHQ, most of the units all over the country are still defaulters.It's very shamful for all of us. How you people can imagine that without financial support, this association can fight for you & how CHQ will run smoothly ? So,I again request to all of you, kindly remit regular quota-money to CHQ as well as maximum amount of special donation time to time.
Any Circle/ Divisional unit or CHQ member (on behalf of their units) not remitting regular quota-money to CHQ, will be treated as De-funct and no CHQ support will be offered to such units in future. It must be noted, please.
CHQ Office: Now,I am in DELHI
As I promised in A.I.C,for my full dedication to this association and for working more efficiently, I have granted foreign service deputation and after all, now I am in Delhi. Department has already provided an accomodation on the 4th floor of SRT Nagar post office building, opposite Meghdoot Bhawan ( Delhi CPMG Office) for the purpose of Association's CHQ Office. This place is on the walking distance from Jhande-walan Metro Station & is situated in the heart of the city. This space wants proper maintenance as there is no furniture or other office / household items. Now I'm trying to maintain it. All of you are most welcome at association's CHQ Office.
Now again, I most humbly thanks you all in earnest for the trust reposed in me & shall try to do my very best to justify the position bestowed on me.
With best wishes......................
Yours affectionately,
(Manoj Bhardwaj)
General Secretary
