BOGUS - COD (cash on delivery parcles)  billers BOOKINGS THOUGH  POST OFFICES :-  Postal department introduced BPCOD (business parcel COD) aims to quick e- payment of money to the senders rather than traditional  VPP system.  But this is golden duck to the some of the registered COD business senders (e-Billers with ID).  Almost all post offices facing this bogus COD parcels aims to cheat the customers and gain money illegally.  Some cases postmasters are reporting to the higher authorities and some cases it is not being done.  The main aim of such  billers to trap the  postal customers by believing as if they are offering mobile 4G of cost Rs.15000/- to discount for Rs.4000/- as a special gift.  After noting the address of the customers the billers are sending COD articles for Rs.4000/- and calling customers to collect from Post office. And pressing the Postal staff for quick delivery of such article by knowing the status in web.  Many of the customers turn out to post offices and believing the dept. keeping faith they are accepting the articles.  On opening the article they has been cheating by placing some iron/copper plates, stones in the place of assured gift.  Then they immediately rush to post office and demanding for repayment of their hard earned money during this demonetization period.  But for the postal procedures once article is signed by the addressee for COD articles no repayment /return allowed.  Some of the them are bitterly abusing and some aggrieved customers reporting in Police stations.  Same day or next police S.I etc, are entering to the post offices and asking reasons for happenings booking FIRs .  And News papers are also giving vide propaganda on this issues Due to this fraudulent billers dept, image and the official character is diminishing .  One such incidence happened in my post office is enclosed here with for alertness of  postmasters. This is not only in Hyderabad but also reported in Andhra Pradesh circle and in many other states.   On bringing notice to the authorities they replied to  take stern action if any compliant with evidence submitted them.

How to eliminate COD frauds:-

1.     Now COD is  a age old thing. Govt. of India encouraging cash less payments. COD should be stopped.

2.     All COD billers should deposit at least 10 times of their monthly turnover. If any  lapses the amount will be seized.

3.     E- Payment money to bills should not be paid immediately. If found satisfied their business with out complaint than only paid.

4.     The billers are cheating the customers hence every biller should enclose one invoice with amount .

5.     All CODs are  allowed for open delivery only.

6.     If customer found dissatisfaction the collected amount should be return or replace the article as per customer desire.

7.     Proper checking on sending items at booking level which contents they are sending , there is as scope for sending Prohibited items.

No Need For Employees To Declare Assets Till New Rules Framed: Centre

newdelHI:  Central government employees, who had a December 31 deadline to declare their assets and liabilities under Lokpal Act, do not need to make the disclosure for now as government is finalising a fresh set of rules.

Without specifying any date, an office memorandum has said rules will be notified in due course to prescribe the form, manner and timelines for filing declaration of assets and liabilities under the revised provision of the Lokpal Act.

In July this year, the central government employees were asked to declare their assets and liabilities by December 31 under section 44 of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act.

Besides this, the public servants were also directed to declare their annual return of assets and liabilities as on March 31, 2015 on or before December 31 this year.

Now, in the office memorandum, the Centre has clearly stated that there is no requirement for filing declaration of assets and liabilities by public servants as of now.

"..there is no requirement for filing declaration of assets and liabilities by public servants now. The Government is in the process of finalising a fresh set of rules," the office memorandum added.

"In this regard it is stated that with the passing of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas (Amendment) Act, 2016, the Public Servants (Furnishing of Information and Annual Plan of Assets and Liabilities and the Limits for Exemption of Assets in Filing Returns) Rules, 2014 and all the amendments made thereto become redundant," the Centre said.

Under Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, an employee has to give details of deposits in foreign bank accounts, expensive paintings, antiques, furniture, electronic equipments, movable assets, insurance, bonds, shares and mutual funds, among others, in the declaration.

The declarations under the Act are in addition to similar ones filed by the employees under various services rules. There are about 50 lakh central government employees.

The credit in such cases shall be afforded only after questioning tenderer, on record, in the presence of at least two officials of the bank, as to why this could not be deposited earlier and receiving a satisfactory explanation. The explanation should be kept on record to facilitate an audit trail at a later stage. An appropriate flag also should be raised in CBS to that effect so that no more tenders are allowed. Tenders of SBNs up to ₹ 5000 in value received across the counter will allowed to be credited to bank accounts in the normal course until December 30, 2016. Even when tenders smaller than ₹ 5000 are made in an account and such tenders taken together on cumulative basis exceed ₹ 5000 they may be subject to the procedure to be followed in case of tenders above ₹ 5000, with no more tenders being allowed thereafter until December 30, 2016. It may also be ensured that full value of tenders of SBNs in excess of ₹ 5000 shall be credited to only KYC compliant accounts and if the accounts are not KYC compliant credits may be restricted up to ₹ 50,000 subject to the conditions governing the conduct of such accounts.
