14. (a) Examine the constitution of beats in the delivery jurisdiction of
HOs keeping in view the number of postmen, the rationale of
beats, the possibility of postmen able to delivery of all mails
within the time available, the quantum of letters delivered by
different postmen etc. The inspecting officer should discuss this
with PRIs, Postmaster and Postmen and redress any grievance
regarding constitution of beats and issue orders in this regard
as far as possible during inspection itself. He can identify
institutions, organizations etc. receiving mails in bulk and direct
PRIs and Postmasters to contact the institutions, bulk mailers,
organizations etc to hire post box/post bags.
(b) See for four dates in different months that credits of recovery
towards postbox, post bags, window delivery tickets etc. have
been properly accounted for and the particulars of post boxes,
post bags, window delivery tickets etc., entered in the register
are reviewed regularly.
(c) Also see whether notices have been given to the holders of
post boxes and post bags before the date of expiry of the
period and also check whether the notices have been
acknowledged by the allottees.
(d) Test check to see that past holders of post boxes and post bags
who fail to renew, do not take delivery of mails through letter
boxes unauthorisedly.
15. Look into the diaries of Public Relations Inspector (PRI) and talk to
them and the postmaster about the checks and directions of their work. Does
postmaster make an effective use of the PRI ?
16. Make surprise check at various places in the beats of selected GDS
Mail Deliverer / Postmen attached to office to ensure that the articles are
delivered promptly and regularly. Make enquiries to confirm the same from a
few selected addressees on the beat both commercial as well as residential.
Mention the same specially in your report.
17. Look into how often the postmaster and APM delivery carry out the
checks on receipt of mails, beat sorting and delivery. See if the unpaid letters
are properly attended to and taxed and missent letters properly redirected.
Is the postmaster particular about inspection and smart out turn of the
postmen and their sense of discipline ?

18. Look into the working register of registration and parcel delivery
assistants, MO paid assistant and VP assistants. See whether signed
receipts and acknowledgements, registered articles returned
undelivered and cash for remittance to the sender of VP articles are promptly
made over under receipt to respective assistants.
19. It is important to review that delivery timings are fixed realistically
with due regard to quick delivery and what time is required to open,
separate, stamp and sort letters. If any improvements are possible, discuss
them with the postmaster and delivery staff and order them.

20. Examine the Postmen’s book to see they are properly written and
particularly how effective is their delivery of unpaid and accountable articles.
Does the rate of nondelivery of registered parcel, VP and payment of money
orders present any abnormal features ? If so does the postmaster utilize
Head Postmen and PRIs to rectify matters ?

SMO / ESMO - Ensure that -

The working hours of PA & Supervisor has been fixed properly to
ensure that the satellite money orders are received and dispatched
without delay.

All the money orders out bound from the district are sent through
ESMO. Select 4 dates since date of last inspection. Compare the
number of MO issued figures available in the MO issue compilation
branch (including the figures of Sub Offices in account) with the money
orders transmitted to ensure that money orders are being promptly
transmitted.

The pairing of money orders are being done promptly by examining
the list of unpaid money orders for 4 days selected within one month
previous from the date of inspection.

Examine the list of received money orders to ensure that the money
orders are being received within the transit norms. In cases of delay in
transmission, please see as to what action has been taken by the
SMO / ESMO station. If any regular delay noticed in respect of any
corner of the country take appropriate action to improve the situation.

Original MO forms in the office are duly cancelled; compare a few with
the details with the list of MOs entered to ensure that the same tally.

The ESMO is kept open during the night also if necessary to enable
transmission of all the money orders.

The staff working in ESMO are rotated so that more number of
officials get on-job training to handle ESMO.

The print out of money orders are taken early in the morning and the
same are included in the dispatch for Sub Office in Account Bag or
included in the MO-3 of office.
Meghdoot Components - Ensure that -

 Hard copy of the reports are being taken and filed properly
 The data installation has been done properly and correctly by test
checking.
 That the inbound complaint enquiries in respect of RL / RP / VPL /
VPP etc. are processed in the computer (query) and the reply is being
given accordingly.
 Cancellation of Transaction : ‘Meghdoot Millennium’ is designed as
an integrated package for the entire gamut of operations in post
office. It is therefore, essential to ensure data integrity in order to
provide correct data to Accounts Offices, PLI etc. The System
Administrator, therefore, is provided with a facility to cancel a
transaction after the receipt is printed. This necessity may arise when
the counter clerk prints receipt in haste without collecting the cash
and the customer does not tender the full amount. Whenever a
transaction is cancelled, the System Administrator is required to
collect the receipt, cancel it and paste it in the Error Book kept with the
Postmaster. The day-end report generated by the counter operator
gives details of the transactions cancelled. There is also provision for
the Supervisor to generate a consolidated list of cancelled
transactions for that day. Check the entries in the register with the
day-end reports.
 It is very important that a suitable official who is easily accessible is
selected as System Administrator in each office. The Postmaster is an
ideal choice. But, it must be ensured that the System Administrator
password is not known to anybody else in the office.
 Server in Cabinet : The offices where the software is installed on a
LAN, the server should be kept at secure place in a cabinet locked so
that unauthorized persons can not have access.

NOTE FOR INSPECTING OFFICERS.
I. One month before the inspection, the inspecting officer should send
to the Postmaster a list of questions decided by him for carrying out checks
by him in addition to those in the questionnaire. These questions will be
framed by him taking into account the relevance of those questions for the
particular Head Post Office which the inspecting officer proposes to resolve
during the inspection. The Inspecting Officer should also simultaneously
request the postmaster to send him a list of cases and proposals on which
the inspecting officer may take decisions during the inspection. These efforts
would be aimed at making the inspection purposeful.
The inspecting officer should take efforts, to obtain maximum
compliance report during the inspection itself or within a month thereafter.
The Postmaster has to inspect one branch every month and record his report
in the order book. The APMs have to inspect their own branch assistant-wise
by framing their own questionnaire. The inspecting officers can help them
update these questions and the list of instruction. The inspecting officers can
take the help of the ASPOs or inspectors to assist them but the responsibility
and judgement must be that of the inspecting officers.
during a year. The verification will be carried out during the first half of the
year while the second verification cum inspection will be carried out during
the second half of the year. The inspecting officer should cover the first 38
questions and question numbers 43, 54, 129 (g), 131 (i), (j), 132 (b), (d), 134
(k) during the accounts verification and also any other question that he may
choose specially from the rest of the questions. All the questions should be
covered during the verification cum inspection. Separate set of questions
have been prescribed for the checks to be carried out in the computerised
post offices. These questions are given as separate annexure and should
be covered during inspections.
II. Wherever the number of days are not specifically mentioned for the
checks to be carried out, the checks may be done for four different dates,
one date for each month.
