In an office memorandum dated 24th May 2019, the Ministry of Communications, Department of Posts (PE-I Section), has introduced adhoc norms for various activities in Post Offices. This update comes after a comprehensive work study conducted at 20 Head Post Offices, where each activity carried out by different branches was closely examined.
Why the Change?
The main goal behind these adhoc norms is to ensure that there’s a standardized process in place while the Establishment Review module under CSI is still undergoing testing. Once fully implemented, this module will make things more efficient and structured, but for now, the adhoc norms are the guiding rules.
What Does This Mean for Post Offices?
Until further notice, Postmasters and staff in Post Offices are requested to follow these adhoc norms when conducting establishment reviews. Essentially, this is a temporary set of rules that will help streamline day-to-day activities, keeping operations smooth and efficient.
For those who are curious or involved in the process, here’s the official word: adhere to these norms to ensure everything runs without a hitch until the new system is live. And in case you missed it, there’s also an update about POS Version 4.8, which might be of interest.
What’s Next?
The Establishment Review module is still under testing, and once it’s up and running, the adhoc norms will likely be replaced with a more permanent structure. Until then, stay informed and keep these temporary guidelines in mind to ensure smooth operations in your Post Office branch.
