Chennai : Two post offices in the city have been accorded ISO certification for providing quality services. The head Post Offices on Anna Salai and Mylapore were granted the certificates under the service quality management systems in accordance with IS 15700: 2005. They were among the five post offices that were granted the certification. The other post offices were those in Tiruchirapalli, R.S. Puram in Coimbatore and Palayamkottai.

Shri Mervin Alexander, Postmaster General, Chennai City Region said that the certification provided by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is valid for three years. These head post offices were chosen for ISO certification as they followed the norms for transactions specified in the citizen’s charter.

The norms include following a specific time limit given for various transactions such as booking of registered articles and insured parcels, money orders, speed posts and savings certificates. The post offices also delivered postal articles on time.

They also made other improvements to the services provided including creating a postal forum consisting of residents, an internal audit of the quality of services on a regular basis and feedback forms for customers.“We are now planning to ensure such quality of service is in place at other head post offices too, in order to obtain ISO certification,” Mr. Alexander said.

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" ...
