Doubts on accepting WOS banknotes

Doubts on accepting WOS banknotes

FOR INFORMATION OF OUR P As / SPMs / POSTMASTERs

Dear Comrades,

We have been receiving a series of telephone calls from many  staff members of Odisha Circle if the WOS banknotes can be accepted only under PO Savings Bank Accounts or under any other POSB Schemes.

In this regard, this Divisional Union has earlier requested the SSPOS, Bhubaneswar Division which was got clarified on 10.11.2016  on the basis of Directorate’s letter (eMail) dated 10.11.2016 that WOS Currency Notes can be accepted for deposits in any of the POSB schemes subject to KYC compliance and rulings of the respective schemes up to 30.12.2016.

The above clarification has already been published in this site elsewhere.

But we feel that the above clarification has not yet reached  all post offices raising so many questions in the minds of our staff members.

A few minutes ago this Divisional Secretary discussed the above deficiency with Sri Ashok Rath,  Asst. Director (SB), O / o the Chief Postmaster General, Odisha Circle  with request to circulate the above order for information of our employees. He told me that the said order has already been sent through eMail to all Regional / Divisional Heads. We requested him to circulate the order once again to all H Os / GPOs once again which was accepted.

The Asst. Director also informed that he is presently available in his seat and any one can call him over his mobile No.9437246866 for any query on the issue.

Vice-President, AIPEU, Group-C, Odisha Circle
