44.NUMBER OF INSPECTION DAYS IN POST OFFICES.

A reference is invited to para 2 and 3 of DG (P) Office Memo, No. 29-1/85-Inspn. dated 13th May, 1986, wherein the number of inspection days for operative offices were ordered to be curtailed on experimental basis. The matter has been reviewed by the department in the light of the experience gained on implementation of these orders. After careful consideration, it has now been decided that, the number of days allowed for inspection of 1st and 2nd class no-delivery offices does not need any change. However, the number of days allowed for inspection of 1st and 2nd class delivery suboffices may be enhanced from the existing two days to three days and those allowed for the inspection of single handed non-delivery sub-offices be reduced from the existing two days to one day.

The number of days allowed for inspection of all other operative offices of Postal & RMS set will continue to be the same as laid down in this department's memorandum dated 13/05/86 cited above.
