PUBLICITY OF ISSUANCE OF  ‘ONE LAKH ‘ COIN  IN INDIA BY  RBI   is  a  FAKE :-

Coins in India are presently being issued in denominations of 10 paise, 20 paise, 25 paise, 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees and five rupees. Coins upto 50 paise are called 'small coins' and coins of Rupee one and above are called 'Rupee Coins'. Coins can be issued up to the denomination of Rs.1000 (Rs. 1000 rupees coin was minted recently to commemorate 1,000 years of the Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur.) as per the Coinage Act, 1906. So the image in web is definitely fake. (higher denomination of rupees leads to issue of  Black money)

Subject: Taking of Fraud prevention measures-Debit Freeze to 0340 etc.

​Respected Sir/Madam,

In continuation of earlier fraud prevention measures taken vide SB Order 5/2016 along with its Addendum, the competent authority has decided to take the following further measures:-

·  Complete Debit Freeze to office account 0340. No withdrawal/debit transactions can be done from this office account;

·  wherever posting of accounts closed by BO are to be posted, the repayment account ID should be changed to office account 0339.

·  At the time of closure of any account, if payment is to be made by Postmaster Cheque, then repayment account ID should be entered as 0340 account.

·  Arrears/GPF or any payments to be made to serving employees with the approval of competent authority should be made from the Salary Account 0409 and not from 0340.

·  All other Government Subsidies should be done from the DBT Account 0410.

In case of CIF Mismatch error, please first merge both  the CIFs after due verification if required and then proceed for closure. 

·  During account opening & account modification of RD / TD / MIS / NSC / KVP / SCSS accounts, before entering customer's Savings account as repayment account or Repayment of interest credit account, user has to ensure that only SB account which has the same CIF as the TDA type account can be linked. In case of error, both the CIFs of same depositor have to be first merged by doing due verification.

·  No Intersol withdrawal transaction of more than Rs.25,000/-  at the counter either through cash or transfer of through POSB Cheque (except for new investment) should be allowed. This validation is being placed in Finacle also.

Please circulate these changes/measures to all CBS Post Offices urgently.

Provided further that in cases where a Government servant has been placed in a higher grade pay or scale between 1st day of January, 2016 and the date of notification of these rules on account of promotion or upgradation, the Government servant may elect to switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion orupgradation, as the case may be.

OPTION NUMBER 01  :   FIXATION OF  PAY ON  01.01.2016

OPTION NUMBER 02:-   One can opt to continue to draw in old pay until

(a)  DATE OF NEXT INCREMENT: 

         

Let  X is drawing pay (G.Pay: Rs 2800)   16490 in VI CPC is opted to fix his pay on DNI (01.07.2016)  what is the benefit:

On  01.01.2016   Pay:  16490

      01.07.2016      Rs.   16990

 Pay fixed in   7 CPC  :   (16990*2.57 = 43664)    PAY MATRIX LEVEL 5  :  Rs.44100

Note : If he opted to fix his pay on 01.01.2016  his new pay is : (16490*2.57=42379) fixed at Rs. 42800 on 01.07.2016  pay is Rs.  44100.

(b)Date of Subsequent Increment:  Let he opts to fix on subsequent increment i.e on 01.07.2017.

  Pay on ; 01.07.2016        Rs. 16990

 On            01.07.2017       Rs.17500

Pay fixed in    7 CPC  :  (17500*2.57= 44975 ) fixed at Rs. 45400.

Note : If he opted to fix his pay on 01.01.2016  . his pay on 01.01.2016 is   Rs. 42800  and on 01.07.2016 his pay is Rs.44100/-  on 01.07.2017  Rs. 45400.

 fixation of pay on next and Subsequent increment is not useful for general cases  and loss of arrears also.

    

(c) Vacates His post / Ceases to draw in existing Pay Structure:

Applicable in some special cases only.

(D) PROMOTION / MACP (UPGRADATIONS) TOOK PLACE BETEEN 01.01.2016 TO 25.07.2016 (Date of notification  of Rules) :-

The  Promoted/ Upgraded employees  falling between  this dates can opt to fix pay from Date of  promotion/ up gradation.   And they will exercise  FR22 (i) (a) (i)  also.

The case of those promoted after issue of gazette notification is not a new one.  In all pay commissions such a clause from date of implementation to date of gazette is the cutoff date for exercise option for Promotions.  On consultation with   so many account experts clarified that we cannot interpret the  Rule-5 CCS (RP)-2016 as a general case to opt at any time after Gazette . HENCE THOSE WHO GOT PROMOTED  / MACP UPGRADED AFTER 25.07.2016  HAS NO OPTION TO CONTINUE TO DRAW IN OLD PAY TILL PROMOTION / UPGRADATION.   Only way to opt fixation on 01.01.2016 . This is a heavy Loss to employees under  G.pay Rs.2800  promoted to Rs. 4200/- . Impact of  7^th CPC on this employees is huge loss in pay and allowances compared with others just promoted in few months.  (by :- M.S.Reddy : (P.O & RMS) –Ex Accountant)

       DELAY IN CADRE RESTUCTURING IN  TELUGU POSTAL CIRCLES.

The  A.P postal circle bifurcated into  T.S and A.P circles. But cadre distribution and preparation circle gradation lists are not yet completed in both circles. All Postal staff under telugu circles are eagerly  waiting for cadre restructuring.  But the process for  allotment of cadre to circles, identification of  offices under each category, conveyance of  DPCs, staff postings etc, the process seems to be delay. As per  un official source of information  this issue will take up to end of this year.  Carving out from LSG /HSG offices to  PM Grade, etc not taken up by any circles till date.  This issue will take further delay.  The delay process will badly effect the promotional avenues of the staff.
