One Day, One Minute, One Rule – 149.
Enforcement of Uniform Regulations in the Department of Posts
149. What are the specific penalties for Postmen and Group 'D' staff who repeatedly fail to wear their uniforms while on duty, and what are the responsibilities of supervisory staff in ensuring compliance?
According
to Order No. 26-2/2002-UPE dated 27.03.2002, the Department of
Posts has taken a strict stance against the growing tendency of officials to
avoid wearing their uniforms, which has been linked to a sense of indiscipline
and public inconvenience. The order stipulates that any official who defaults three
times regarding the uniform code shall be liable for disciplinary action.
Furthermore, such defaulting officials may not be accepted for duty, can be
debarred from the future supply of uniforms, and must have a formal entry of
these defaults made in their service records.
To
ensure these regulations are followed, supervisory staff are mandated to
conduct regular kit inspections on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The Department
emphasizes that the proper wearing of uniforms can only be ensured through
regular inspections and personal interest from management. Consequently, any
supervisory official who fails to carry out these inspections at regular
intervals is also subject to disciplinary action for dereliction of duty
