       It can be seen that Postmaster has to act as caretaker of the building. But why the department is not granting Caretaking allowance when the MOF has given orders(Click here to view/download GOI,MOF, DoE , OM No. F.No.7(21)2008-E III(A) Dated 22.09.2008) to grant caretaking allowance.Is it not unjustified.

    That's why the department has no future. Even the postal bank will be postal blank of india i.e without postal employees. The officials/officers who create such type of works for the postmasters might have felt that there is no future for them and hence want to make a futureless department. Nodal officers of divisional office have NREGS incentive but no share of frauds. Postmasters have no incentives but only shares and responsibilities. I feel that Postmasters will be straight away absorbed as Managers of Post Bank of India and not any other cadre/officials. Just wait and watch

GRANT OF TA & TRANSIT (TA & TP) TO OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED ON COMPLETION OF TENURE TO THE PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE . A proposal on grant TA and transit to officials who are transferred on completion of tenure to the place of their choice was under consideration in this Directorate for sometime past.      SR-114 governs TA on transfer distinguishes between transfer for public convenience and transfer on own request.  Although transfer on completion of tenure in one office has not been specifically referred to in this rule, yet the transfer on completion of tenure is a transfer for public convenience.  On completion of tenure, the official has to be transferred out for operational reasons.  Therefore, such a transfer is mandatory, while posting to a place of choice is secondary and subject to public convenience.  In view of this posting to a place of choice after completion of full tenure may not be normally termed as a "transfer on own request" under SR-114.      It
