Message of Secretary (Posts) for the staff and officers of the Department over the IT Project.
Dear colleagues,
It gives me immense pleasure to update you about the ambitious IT Modernization project of the Department of Posts. As you know, with this project we have embarked upon a transformational journey. I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank each one of you for your dedication and hard work to bring about this historic transformation.
At this point in time, we have already networked close to 23,000 locations, making our the largest WAN in the country. Implementation of our Core Banking System and PLI solutions have attained a critical mass, which will enable us to undertake performance testing & certification before further roll outs. Core SI solutions relating to Mail Operations, Human Resources and F&A are in the UAT stage; and we are nearing identification of a vendor for the Rural Hardware program to support the modernization of our rural post offices.
Implementation of the CBS and Core-PLI solutions has been gradual by design so that we can pinpoint errors/ defects in the solutions and address them appropriately, before graduating to an exponential roll-out phase. As expected, officers and staff are facing some challenges during the initial implementation phase. While we continue to strengthen the solutions based on these valuable experiences, the extra mile that you all have traversed in order to manage these challenges is commendable.
As the implementation gathers steam, I would request each one of you to keep up the energy & commitment you have demonstrated so far. We will make sure that the required technical and administrative support for success is made available.
The primary objective of the IT modernization project has been to enhance customer, satisfaction through better service delivery. The project will enhance the Post Offices capabilities, and enable it to deliver more efficient services, and more add-on services & products. Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has also urged the Department to fast-track the IT-modernization project and improve the quality of service. Thus, being sensitive and responsive to the customer is the need of the hour.
You will agree that it is a matter of great pride for each one of us to be associated with this huge transformational project. We must now work hand in hand to make this historical transformation happen quickly.
Together we can, and we will do it!!

Ms. Kaveri Banerjee,
Madam,
Sub: - Protest against arbitrary grant of Trade Union facilities to Bharathiya Postal Employees Federation (BPEF) and all its affiliated unions.
We are shocked to note that the Department has granted all Trade Union facilities to BPEF and all its affiliated unions vide your office order dated 24-06-2014. We vehemently protest and condemn this illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory orders of the Department due to reasons stated below:
1. In spite of the protest from recognised Postal Federations Department implemented CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 and as per the said Rules only the two Federations/Unions which secure 35% and 15% minimum membership alone will be granted recognition and trade union facilities. Except one union, all other affiliates of BPEF secured only less than 5% membership in the last membership verification under Check-off system. As such grant of Trade Union facilities to BPEF and all its affiliated Unions is contrary to the provisions of CCS (RSA) Rules 1993.
2. All affiliated unions of NFPE/FNPO participated in the last membership verification held during the year 2010. Some of the affiliates (including NUGDS of FNPO) of the above federations could not secure 15% minimum membership required for recognition. Till this day, those unions are not granted trade union facilities. Then how, all on a sudden, all the affiliates of BPEF with less than 5% membership is accorded trade union facilities? This is nothing but naked discrimination. Similarly the application for grant of Trade Union facilities to the newly formed GDS Union of NFPE is also long pending in the Directorate.
3. During the last membership verification, BPEF has challenged the provisions of CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 and filed a case in the Chennai High Court praying for recognition to BPEF and all its affiliated unions. Chennai High Court has rejected the arguments of BPEF and the case was dismissed. Subsequently Department conducted membership verification and granted Recognition to NFPE and FNPO and also to its affiliated unions which secured minimum 35% / 15% membership.
This being the position, the present orders issued by the Department is against the spirit of all the existing rules on the subject and also highly discriminatory. We request you to review the order forthwith and take action to withdraw the arbitrary orders and restore status-quo-ante.
Awaiting immediate action,
Yours faithfully,
