Clarification on OTA for Clerks Acting as SPMs
137. Are Clerks who are required to act as Sub-Postmasters (SPMs) in the absence of a regular SPM on leave entitled to Overtime Allowance (OTA) if they perform split duty for 8 hours without being provided with government quarters?
While para 22 (2) (b) of the OTA orders originally provided that OTA is not admissible to Clerks acting as SPMs in the absence of a regular official on leave, the Directorate has reviewed the matter for specific cases. According to Order No. 31-47/78-PE.II dated 02.12.1978, it has been decided as a special case to allow OTA to Clerks acting as SPMs for an excess period of 45 minutes when they work a split duty of 8 hours and have not been provided with quarters. This decision effectively modifies the previous restrictions under para 22 (2) (b) of the OTA orders to the extent mentioned and took effect from the date of the letter's issue.
