Dear Comrades,
This is with reference to our note dated 23rd May 2009 in this Blog. Director, Kolkata GPO, has today (i.e., on 28.05.2009) issued a detailed order in connection with non-endorsement of files pertaining to personal claims preferred by the officials of Kolkata GPO, say for example, TA, LTC, Medical Reimbursement Claims, Children Education Allowance (CEA), etc., to the AAO, Kolkata GPO. These claims, as per the order of the Director, are now to be settled as per the financial competence of the Dy. Director(s), Kolkata GPO, as was done in past.
It is our considered opinion that this will in turn reduce the unjust delay in settlement of all such personal claims. This Service Union also likes to appreciate the stand taken by the Director, Kolkata GPO, particularly in this issue.
Comradely yours,
Sachidananda Biswas,
Secretary, AIPEU Group-C, Kolkata GPO.
