Ref: P3/Circular/2016
Dated – 27.05.2016
CBS,
FINACLE, CIS
DEMANDS DAY
– 10.06.2016
There is no need to elaborate the miseries and
sufferings we are facing at base level after the implementation of Finacle,
(CBS & CIS) and the mental torture.
The CHQ is aware of the issues and properly placed
before the Department vide its letter dated 22.01.2016, 11.02.2016 &
25.04.2016. Further it was brought to the personal notice of the Hon’ble
Minister of communication. However, the progress in resolving the Finacle
issues is in slow nail causing resentment and unrest amidst officials.
The assurance of the Department on 28.03.2016 in
providing two more server by Infosys to solve the Finacle problem has not been
carried out yet. The increase in the bandwith as per the requirement of the
office has not been carried out in any circle.
Adding fuel to fire, the department’s recent
decision in implementing the Business hours of Post office to the extent of 5
hours for monetary transactions has not been exercised. Some circles like
Tamilnadu, Haryana etc. have sought clarifications to prevent the
implementation of the decision without minding the existing sufferings of
officials due to faulty functioning of Finacle & others and the officials
are forced to remain in office in late hours. There is every risk for the women
employees to leave office late every day.
For the last ten days, there is poor access and
even no access in Finacle continuously throughout the nation affecting the
public and staff very badly. This is nothing but due to the incapacity of the
servers provided by Infosys. The department is not in a position either to
correct things or apply the penal provisions against the vender. The existing
position in Finacle is nothing but the last straw on camel’s back.
The recent conversations unofficially held between
the Infosys and some staff exhibited in the website will reveal the fact. We
must know who is committing mistake after mistake. Whether the officers dealing
the Finacle are aware of all the software and hardware oriented issues. Are
they simply hearing and acting as per the dictums of the vendors? Howe many
times we are going to alter our rulings to suit the requirement of vendors?
Will there be any time to the officials to go through the routine daily
circulars on CBS functioning in the pressure of work?
We lost our patience. Even though, we suffer
voluntarily a lot as we feel it is the transition period, in the implementation
of Finacle, it is felt now that without settlement of the Problems, the
Department is inclined to proclaim that it has implemented the Finacle more in
numbers than the leading banks and also without any Quality and good service to
the customer.
Under these circumstances, the CHQ has elaborately
written a letter to the Department on 26.05.2016, detailing all the problems
being existed in Finacle and McCamish and sought remedies within a fort night.
In the event of non-settlement, the CHQ has decided to launch the following
programme of action culminating to strike action.
10th June - Demands Day - Demonstration
at divisional/branch levels
17th June - Dharna in front
of Circle office.
30th
June - Demonstration in front of Dak Bhawan & issue of strike
notice. (The date will be decided with consultation of NFPE & JCA
constituents)
The major demands put forth in the programme of
action.
1. Provide additional servers
and solve the Finacle problem
2. Increase the bandwidth as
per the requirement.
3. Implement the decision of
Directorate on Business hours.
4. Drop all Memos &
Charge sheets issued due to Finacle minor mistake.
5. Implementation of action
on all the points put forth in the CHQ letter dated 26.05.2016.
This programme is nothing but to save the Postal
Service from the existing chaos and confusions. Even though we desire peace, we
have been pushed in to the wall. We could not tolerate furthermore.
All Divisional/Branch and circle secretaries are
requested to organize the programme very effectively and intimate compliance.
The CHQ will leave no stone unturned in the event of no settlement is seen in
this serious issue.
With fraternal greetings,
Comradely yours,
(R. N. Parashar)
General Secretary, P3
& Secretary General, NFPE
