Central Government Employees to be prohibited access to social media at work

The central government Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that it will issue an advisory prohibiting government employees from accessing social networking websites through officials systems and networks.

 A division bench of Acting Chief Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice Siddharth Mridul asked the centre to immediately issue an advisory prohibiting public servants, who already have an official e-mail account, from using external services.

(Also see: Gmail, Yahoo not to be used for official communication, centre tells court)

The bench took into note the submissions of Additional Solicitor General Rajeeve Mehra that 4.5 lakh government employees have been allotted official email accounts and they have started using them.

Mehra further submitted that there would be requirement of five million such account holders and setting up of such e-mail accounts would require some time and infrastructure.

"You (centre) will issue an advisory that those people who have been given official e-mail accounts (nic.in) will immediately use that e-mail ids and to increase the number of employees on official accounts," the bench said.

The court told the government that the server pertaining to the official e-mail account should be "housed in India itself".

It also asked the information and technology department to process a draft e-mail policy proposal for the committee of secretaries within two weeks, and the committee to approve the e-mail policy and another policy "on acceptable use of IT resources of the government of India" within two weeks after that.

Filing an affidavit, the centre told the high court that it has proposed a national e-mail policy for official communication of government employees, saying the objective of the policy was to ensure "secure access and usage of data" by them.

In an affidavit filed in the high court, the department of electronics and information technology said the use of e-mail accounts of external service providers will be "prohibited for official communication" by government employees.

Earlier, the bench had asked the central government to bring in an e-mail policy for government officials in consonance with the Public Records Act in order to bar transfer of data to a server outside the country.

(Also see: Government may ban use of Gmail, Yahoo in official communications)

The public interest litigation (PIL) filed by former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K.N. Govindacharya, said the use of e-mail accounts whose servers were outside India and transfer of the nation's official data using this medium violated the Public Records Act.
The central government in its affidavit also said it has proposed another policy "on acceptable use of IT resources of the government of India" that lays down the guidelines with respect to use of all IT resources.

The court will hear the case April 30.

Dy. Director General (FS)
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001

            Sub: Working procedure to be observed by SBCO staff after migration of data  to  CBS Finacle software
                     
Sir,
            This is regarding control measures to be observed by SBCO staff in CBS offices. Now some of the offices are migrated to CBS Finacle software and remaining offices are being migrated in phased manner. But the Directorate has not circulated the control procedure to be observed by SBCO staff. In some Circles the SBCO staff is being ordered to check cent percent vouchers with data available in system. But in available man power checking of cent percent data by SBCO staff is not possible. In Central Working Committee meeting of this union held at Barabazar (Kolkata) the CWC members have passed resolution and suggested percentage checking of vouchers with data available in system.

            The CWC meeting has suggested below mentioned percentage checking of vouchers with data available in computer.

1. SB- All paid vouchers above 10000 and all closed account vouchers and 2 % deposit  transactions.
 
2. RD- All closed account vouchers, all half withdrawal vouchers and 2 % deposit vouchers and MPKBY list transaction.
 
3. MIS & SCSS - All closed account vouchers and new accounts vouchers.
 
4. TD- All closed account vouchers and new accounts vouchers.
 
5. NSS 87 & NSS 92 – All closed accounts vouchers and 10 % withdrawal vouchers.
 
6. PPF- All closed accounts vouchers and 2 % deposit transactions.

            It is therefore requested to consider the views of the union and circulate the procedure of checking by SBCO staff as early as possible.

            Thanking you,

                                                                                                                Yours sincerely,


                                                                                                                 (R. K. Tandon)
                                                                                                             General Secretary

Copy to : The DDG (Work Study & Manual Revision) for information. It is requested to circulate the    control procedure to be adopted by SBCO staff after migration of Sanchay post data  CBS Finacle software and time factor for each item of work in SBCO.

                                                                                                             General Secretary

CBS Finacle Problems: Faced by the DAP/SBCO units,

1) What are the duties of SBCO in CBS environment 

2) Whether the SBCO’s has to add the statistical figures of CBS offices or they have to submit the figures for non CBS office alone. 

3) Deposit through cheque is not appearing in the LOT after realization of cheques. 

4) LOTs are receiving as Teller report, it contains the transactions of all categories, it may not possible to maintain the statistical figures category wise. 

5) Some of the offices are not provided the Systems, as prerequisite i.e,. Windows 7, IE8 are not loaded. 

6) Auditors Training are not imparted to SBCO officials fully/ not allotted the user ID and Pass word. 

7) The roll of auditors of SBCO is not defined. 

8) It is a double entry system, it contain many office accounts and it will take care of second leg posting, list of office accounts to be watched/checked are not defined. 

9) How to check the closing balance of a particular offices are not known and to cross check with the V2SBCO/Sanchaya are not known. 

10) While migrating the data the closing balance with SBCO are not verified. 

11) In some of the circles are insisting to check 100% transactions with the system, it is highly impossible to check with the system, as some of the offices are receiving the transactions are more 6000 to 7000 transactions a day, but some of the offices are working with single hand or shortage of hands, if one man goes on leave, it will be in back log. 

12) We may suggest some percentage of accounts i.e., amount more than Rs.5000/- or 10000/- and above. 

13) One option in CBS Finacle agents Portal, the transactions will be fed by agents through his ID and pass word, there is no need to check these items like standing instructions. 

14) After CSI(Core System Integrator) the messages will go to the depositors mobile, in such a case there is no need to check RD transactions. 

15) There is no rules/instructions for maintainance of accounts Regarding ATM withdrawals. 

16) Whether the control registers for CBS and Non CBS is to be maintained or how to send the statistical reports to DAP is not defined.

          The CHQ appreciated the West Bengal Circle and its comrades for the splendid arrangements at Bara Bazaar HO, Kolcutta to conduct the Central working committee meeting in successful and convey it’s thanks to all Comrades of West Bengal Circle for making boarding and lodging arrangements well.

          The following resolutions were passed in the CWC meeting and the same has been taken with Directorate as a Memorandum vide Lr.No: CHQ/06-Memorandum/AISBCEU/2014 Dated 15.03.2014 for further action.

Resolution No. 01: Irregular Recovery/Contributory negligence against SBCO staff
          SBCO staff is doing post audit work. Therefore SBCO staff should not be held responsible for amount defrauded by counter staff or SAS/MPKBY agents and no recovery should be made from SBCO staff. The audit staff working in DAP are exempted from the liability of contributory negligence cases. Hence, the same principle has to be followed with SBCO staff, since their work actually started after accounting of the transactions. Hence, contributory negligence and recovery should not be imposed upon them.

Resolution No. 02: Restoration of Administrative powers to AO ICO
          As the SBCO staff is working under SSPOs/Postmasters they are forced not to raise objections or forced to admit genuine objections. Since the writing of APAR is under the control of Divisional Heads, the SBCO staff could not render their auditing services properly to the Department and also fulfill the intention i.e. formation of SBCO branch for auditing Savings Bank functions. Therefore administrative control i. e. writing of APAR of SBCO staff should be transferred to AO ICO (SB) as earlier who is having knowledge about the staff and their capabilities. Otherwise, the purpose of auditing work will be held up.

Resolution No. 03: Filling up of Vacant Posts
          All vacant post of PA (SBCO) should be filled immediately. Since the administration has given full pressure with SBCO staff  in connection with CBS work, it could not be possible to manage the entire work with the available poor staff strength. Hence, until further recruitment, either General line PAs or utilizing outsource has to be provided to manage the vacant seats work.

Resolution No. 04: Norm based LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I posts and MACP promotions
          DPCs for MACP and norm based promotions should be held immediately and all vacant supervisory posts should be filled without further delay. As per the latest Directorate order, the benchmark is not necessary for the MACP promotions on non-selection basis as given below.
“It is now further clarified that wherever promotions are given on non-selection basis (i.e. on seniority — cum — fitness basis), the prescribed benchmark as  mentioned in para 17 of Annexure — I of MACP Scheme dated 19.05.2009 shall not apply for the purpose of grant of financial up gradation under MACP Scheme.” 
The above Directorate order has to be strictly adhered to avoid delay in the MACP promotion cases. Necessary instructions has to be issued to all Circles to complete all pending MACP promotion cases  with a cut of date.

Resolution No. 05: Utilization of SBCO staff for SB branch work
          SBCO staff should not be deputed to SOs for settlement of objections and minus balance cases, since they are not authorized to visit the sub offices and no additional staff is provided for the visit in addition to their daily routine work.

Resolution No. 06: Time factor
          Since the data feeding work is a additional work to SBCO staff and also the same has not been prescribed in the Control procedure, Time factor for computer work should be fixed and justified staff as per revised time factor should be posted in SBCO sections.

Resolution No. 07: Cadre Restructure
Cadre restructuring of SBCO cadre should be taken on priority. Our Union had already taken up this matter with administration vide Lr.No: CHQ/AISBCEU/2014/01 Dt. 01.01.2014.
 
The following suggestions are recommended to change in the SBCO setup

1.           In all the Regions, the SBCO staff has to be brought under the control of Group Officer in the cadre of CAO/Senior AO who is under the direct control of Director, Postal Accounts. Then only, the SBCO staff could discharge their auditing work properly.
2.           Since the SBCO staff is performing purely auditing work, the SBCO cadre must be treated as Organized Accounts cadre likewise DAP staff, since the SBCO branch was bifurcated from Postal Accounts in the year of 1964.
3.           In the present CBS function, our role is designed as ‘Auditor”.
4.           The designation of SBCO staff has to be changed as given below according to their nature of work.
Existing Designation
Proposed Designation
Postal Assistant

Junior Auditor [Entry level]
Senior Auditor – Grade-II [Grade Pay-2800]
Senior Auditor – Grade I [Grade pay-4200]
Chief Auditor                [Grade pay-4600]
Supervisor – LSG
Senior Supervisor – HSG-II
Chief Supervisor – HSG-I
Section Officer – Grade Pay -4800] [GAZ ]
[The Section officer post has to be filled up from the seniority of Chief Auditors. In the set up, the SBCOs may be centralized at Divisional level and after introduction of Core Banking Solution, it may be centralized at Regional level for bigger Circle and Circle level in smaller Circle]

Representative of this union should be called for meeting of cadre restructuring of SBCO
Resolution No. 08: Abolition of all AAO posts in SBCO wing
 
          HSG I posts in SBCO has to be created in the offices manned by AAO

Resolution No. 9. Filling up all Supervisory posts
 
          All vacant supervisory posts of LSG, HSG II and HSG I should be filled on seniority basis from PA (SBCO) cadre as most of the PA (SBCO) are drawing HSG I (MACP III) grade pay.

Resolution No. 10: Transfer of SBCO staff
 
Even though, the Directorate had issued orders to transfer the SBCO staff with in the cluster, it is not followed properly in many Circles. On completion of post tenure, the officials are transferred to far off places in many circles. Hence, the privilege of transfer limited within division or nearer HOS only to avoid hardship of SBCO staff in maintaining their families and children studies.

Resolution No. 11:  Permission for appearing for Gr. 'B' Cadre Examination
Postal Assistants, SBCO are permitted for appearing for Inspector (Posts) , but they are not permitted to appear Group ‘B’ examination. Hence, the  SBCO officials with eligible service may be allowed to appear for Group 'B' cadre Examination in Postal Department.

Resolution No. 12: Changes in the CHQ office bearers list
                   Sri. J.P.Joshi, AGS, Uttaranchal Circle quit his AGS post due to his retirement shortly, CWC approved Shri Ram Lal Dobhal Supervisor SBCO KOTDWAR as AGS III

Resolution No. 13: Periodical meeting with Secretary [P]
               Directorate should hold periodical meeting with representatives of this union immediately as so many staff grievances are pending
