Subject: Regarding various issues of CBS offices

Respected Comrade,

As you are aware that as a  part of the CBS Project, Post offices under Assam Circle have been migrated to CBS Platform.  I am glad to inform you that a good number of Post Office under this Branch are also migrated to the new environment of CBS with the help of the devoted works by the system managers and staff of the office. The offices which went under the CBS environment are showing a sky high level of dedication by working efficiently in the new era of modernization. But due to the lack of proper infrastructure and training the staffs of the CBS offices are facing a lot of problems to perform their duties smoothly. Before entering into the CBS platform the offices were running good but after the implementation of CBS the things are going worse. So it is confirmed that somewhere there must be some lapses. With the reference to the above facts the few requirements must be considered by the administration.
1.     Odd timing of migration: It is becoming a common thing that the System Mangers and the in charge of the respective offices have to work without sleep whole night during the data migration without any extra allowances. Why the data migration activities not done on day time and during office hours. The migration process should be done during office hours and no officials should be harassed beyond duty hours in the name of CBS.
2.     Proper training: “End Users Training” of the staff of the CBS offices is a must need before go live of CBS. But it has been noticed that our Post offices are migrated without pre training of the staff. You are requested please ensure this training so that our staff can perform their duty perfectly and confidently. The training of the Agents under the respective offices is also very much necessary for a better performance in the new system.
3.     Hand holding support:  CBS is a complete new concept for DOP staff. So Hand holding support should be minimum 7 days from the go live day so that practical issues faced by the staff of CBS offices can be easily solved in the new environment.
4.     Printer issue: Since the list of transactions and the daily reports have to be submitted to the account office on a daily basis and the Passbooks of the customers are to be updated at the time of transaction, hence the necessity of Passbook Printer and Laser Printer is felt to the utmost. But in most of the offices under this branch are running without Passbook printer and Laser Printer (in CBS offices). As a result Postmaster or counter PA has to prepare these lists and reports manually which is a burden on them as it takes time. It is not tolerable at all.(list is enclosed)
5.     AMC: Selection of AMC for the proper functioning of the computers and its peripherals should be conducted on time. Without the support of AMC offices are facing lots of troubles whenever any system related issue occurs. The Jorhat HO and its sub offices are running without any AMC for last 1 year and our staffs are suffering for the ignorance of the administration.
6.     Internet connectivity: It is not necessary to mention that (the third party) Sify connectivity of the offices is very poor. It is well known to you that due to frequent inaccessibility of Finacle our staffs are suffering and we are loosing the faith of our esteemed customer. Without the proper and stable net connectivity the CBS works cannot be done. But our higher authority always seems to ignore these issues.
7.     Issue regarding EOD: It is commonly noticed factor that the offices are not able to complete the EOD of their respective offices due to pending verification of others. As a result of this some of the officials are compelled to work till late nights without any extra allowances, which is not justice. And at present our authority is doing this injustice upon the staffs. Our question is why officials should have to suffer for others faults. If required change the procedure of CBS and arrange to make EOD independently by the offices or make it centrally without hampering the time scheduled for the offices.
8.     Server issue: The central server always creates lot problems in proper functioning of CBS works.
a.     Non accessibility of server: Frequent non accessibility of the Finacle is becoming a great headache of the counter officials as she/he has to reply the various customers helplessly. Due to this reason now a days most of the customers returned back unsatisfactorily and Post offices are gradually loosing the faith of the esteemed customers which we treat like God.
b.     Malfunctioning of Finacle menu: Nonfunctioning of CCRC and CMRC menu which leads to inability of creation of new CIF and modification and verification of existing CIF. Improper functioning of NSC/KVP issue menu which sometimes leads to non-funding of new account.
c.      Creation of new accounts (MIS/TD/NSC/KVP) occurs even if there is no sufficient balance in the respective SB accounts. Proper error should be reflected during the time of account opening if there is no sufficient balance in SB.  


9.     Pre Migration Inspection: An inspection/verification by the IPOs/ASPOs should be practiced before nominating the names of the post offices for CBS. Issue of network connectivity should also include in this verification. After receiving the OK report from the concerned IPOs /ASPOs the final migration should be done.  Forced migration will create disruption in CBS works in future.

Respected comrade,
The authority is not considering the issues and problems faced by the grassroots workers, but they do not forget to give various business targets. Administration wants works on time without any   infrastructure. Just imagine the situation of a SPM of a single handed office. The SPM has to work in all robust modules along with all the Meghdoot modules of our Department. I request you to discuss these matters with the authority and help our members by giving them a good working environment.We demand first resolve the issues facing by the already migrated offices; then after start migration of new offices. Hope you will ensure this.

Thanking you,

Comradely yours
