Dear Sir,

I am constrained to bring under your kind  attention  the problems of female  employees who are given   posting to different  stations   on promotions or transfer on TMP.

In this connection , I like to appraise you that since last one year we are  constantly pursuing with GIPSA management  as well as you  as CMD of New India   for implementation of the  Circular dt 23^rd. Sept.2014  issued  by Dept. of Financial Services , Insurance –I Section , Ministry of Finance , Govt. of India. ( Ref. No. S- 11012/04/ 2014/Ins.I)

As our information goes ,  you are aware of the said circular and  that you are in the process of seeking  clarification   from  the Ministry  for  implementation of the same. We are utterly  dismayed that  even after the lapse of 11 months  you are  yet  to receive desired  clarification . It seems your officials  entrusted with are less  serious  about   implementation of the said circular and averse to  making any sincere effort  towards effecting the scheme.

Needless to mention   that the hardship  and sufferings that  vast number of female employees/ officers   are confronted with because of adverse postings could have been mitigated  had the aforesaid Circular was  made effective  by this time .

Now  when, posting on promotion and transfer on TMP in New India  is on the anvil  in all cadres, I once again request you  to start with clearing the pending cases  at least up-to the cadre of Scale II officers (Asstt. Manager). The said Circular also be made effective forth- with  in  regard to current Promotional Posting / Posting on TMP  of female employees/ officers and not cause further loss of  time for getting the long  awaited clarification and thus provide relief to those employees/officers who have been transferred after 23.9.2014.

I earnestly request you to take the issue seriously on priority basis and do the  needful in line with the spirit and contents of the circular referred to.

Awaiting your positive response at the earliest.

 Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Waive the provision of holding examination under Para 15 for promotion to Asst. cadre

Mumbai.

Dear sir,

I like to  inform you that  on behalf of NFGIE  the demand  was placed to waive the provision of holding examination under Para 15 for promotion  to Asst. cadre vide  letter dt 7.8.15 to you.  Subsequently, in reply to a mail dt.11.8.2015 from Mr. Harish Adhlakha, Manager, GIPSA  the demand  was reiterated. 

But till now we have not been intimated any further development in this respect. . Hence, again your attention to the issue is being drawn.   It is unfortunate that  t he  decision of GIPSA   to hold  examination    on -line  mode  in this year unilaterally  without  discussing the issue   with check -off qualified unions is a serious departure from the existing  practice. Please recall that  in the meeting  with GIPSA held on 1.1.2015 at New Delhi  all the unions opposed to GIPSA ’s proposal of conducting  examination on-line  mode  and it was suggested that the issue would be taken up at the time of  discussion  on revision of Promotion Policy .

But till now discussion on revision of promotion policy has not taken place and suddenly this year GIPSA has arbitrarily taken the decision to conduct the examination through on-line mode.  The holding of examination for promotion to Asstt. Grade from Sub-staff and Record clerk cadre through on- line mode  has caused serious resentment amongst the candidates. It is obvious  that considering the age factor of most of the  subordinate staffs and Record Clerks  it will be a really injustice to ask  them  to appear examination on-line mode .

Under this circumstances, we demand that the system of holding the examination under Para 15 be do away with and necessary instructions to this effect be issued  .

 Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
