What does it do?

  • The Department of Postal Services may set up an additional post office in any place, at first on a temporary basis for one year. If it raises up to one-third of its running costs within that year, the Regional Postal Director recommends making it permanent. If not, its term can be extended by a year at a time, twice; if it still falls short, the Director may close or move it with the Department's prior approval. It must open at least two hours a day, post its hours outside, and announce changes at least seven days ahead.हुलाक सेवा विभागले कुनै स्थानमा अतिरिक्त हुलाक स्थापना गर्न सक्छ र त्यो सुरुमा एक वर्षका लागि अस्थायी रहन्छ। एक वर्षभित्र सञ्चालन खर्चको एक तिहाइसम्म रकम उठेमा क्षेत्रीय हुलाक निर्देशकले स्थायी गर्न विभागमा सिफारिस गर्छ। नउठेमा एक-एक वर्ष गरी दुई पटकसम्म अवधि बढाउन सकिन्छ र त्यसपछि पनि खर्च नउठेमा विभागको पूर्वस्वीकृति लिई खारेज गर्न वा अन्यत्र सार्न सकिन्छ। अतिरिक्त हुलाक दिनको कम्तीमा दुई घण्टा खुला रहनुपर्छ, खुला रहने समयको सूचना बाहिर टाँस्नुपर्छ र समय फेर्नुपरे कम्तीमा सात दिनअगावै जानकारी दिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 3(1)-(4) and 4(1)-(2), PDF pp. 2-3
  • Each additional post office is run by a postal representative, with distributors who deliver mail and mail carriers who take it to and from the linked post office. They must be Nepali citizens aged at least sixteen, never convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, able to read and write Nepali, know Roman script and basic arithmetic (mail carriers do not need the last two). For postal representative, preference goes first to a person recommended in writing by the rural municipality or municipality. These workers are not civil servants.अतिरिक्त हुलाक हुलाक प्रतिनिधिले सञ्चालन गर्छ, वितरकले हुलाक वस्तु वितरण गर्छ र डाँक वाहकले सम्बन्धित हुलाकसम्म डाँक ल्याउने-लैजाने गर्छ। यी पदमा नियुक्त हुन नेपाली नागरिक, सोह्र वर्ष उमेर पूरा भएको, नैतिक पतन देखिने फौजदारी अभियोगमा दोषी नठहरिएको, नेपाली लेखपढ गर्न सक्ने र रोमन लिपि तथा गणितको साधारण ज्ञान भएको हुनुपर्छ; डाँक वाहकलाई रोमन लिपि र गणितको ज्ञान अनिवार्य छैन। हुलाक प्रतिनिधि नियुक्त गर्दा गाउँपालिका वा नगरपालिकाले लिखित सिफारिस गरेको व्यक्तिलाई पहिलो प्राथमिकता दिइन्छ। यी कर्मचारी निजामती कर्मचारी मानिँदैनन्। Nepal Law Commission Rules 2, 7(1), 8, 9(1) and 16, PDF pp. 1-6 and 10
  • Under the Fifth Amendment, postal representatives, distributors and mail carriers must retire at 58, counted from the birth date on their citizenship certificate. Posts that are or become vacant are abolished automatically, and an additional post office closes automatically once all its staff have retired or their posts are vacant; the district post office then takes charge of its property. Staff could also choose voluntary retirement by applying to the district post office within three months.पाँचौँ संशोधनअनुसार हुलाक प्रतिनिधि, वितरक र डाँक वाहकले अन्ठाउन्न वर्ष उमेर पूरा भएपछि अनिवार्य अवकाश पाउँछन् र उमेर नागरिकताको प्रमाणपत्रमा उल्लिखित जन्ममितिका आधारमा गणना हुन्छ। रिक्त रहेका र रिक्त हुने पद स्वतः खारेज हुन्छन्, र सबै कर्मचारी अवकाश भएमा वा पद रिक्त भएमा त्यस्तो अतिरिक्त हुलाक स्वतः खारेज हुन्छ; त्यसको चल-अचल सम्पत्तिको व्यवस्थापन जिल्ला हुलाक कार्यालयले गर्छ। तीन महिनाभित्र जिल्ला हुलाक कार्यालयमा निवेदन दिई स्वेच्छिक अवकाश लिन पनि सकिन्थ्यो। Nepal Law Commission Rules 7A, 7B, 12B and 19A, PDF pp. 5, 7-8 and 11
  • Staff get 6 days of casual leave, 12 days of sick leave and 24 days of home leave a year, 30 days of maternity leave per child for up to two children, and 15 days of mourning (kiriya) leave; leave is a facility, not a right. For each year worked they may claim medical costs against bills up to half a month's starting pay for their post. On mandatory or voluntary retirement they get an extra 50% to 100% of that medical amount, depending on years of service.कर्मचारीले वार्षिक छ दिन भैपरी आउने बिदा, बाह्र दिन बिरामी बिदा, चौबीस दिन घर बिदा, बढीमा दुई सन्तानसम्म प्रत्येक सन्तानका लागि तीस दिन प्रसूति बिदा र पन्ध्र दिन किरिया बिदा पाउँछन्; बिदा अधिकार नभई सहुलियत मात्र हो। काम गरेको प्रत्येक वर्षका लागि पदको शुरु पारिश्रमिक स्केलको आधा महिनाको तलबमा नबढ्ने गरी बिलबमोजिम उपचार खर्च पाउँछन्। अनिवार्य वा स्वेच्छिक अवकाश हुँदा सेवा अवधिअनुसार त्यस उपचार खर्चको पचास प्रतिशतदेखि शत प्रतिशतसम्म थप सुविधा पाउँछन्। Nepal Law Commission Rules 10(1)-(5), 12A and 12C, PDF pp. 6-8
  • The Regional Postal Director may warn or dismiss a postal representative, distributor or mail carrier who does not follow these rules, but must first give them a reasonable chance to explain. Losses caused by deliberate carelessness or disobeying orders may be recovered from their pay. They may complain to the Director General of the Department of Postal Services within 35 days, who must decide within 90 days; that decision is final.यस नियमावलीबमोजिम काम नगर्ने हुलाक प्रतिनिधि, वितरक वा डाँक वाहकलाई क्षेत्रीय हुलाक निर्देशकले नसिहत दिन वा नोकरीबाट हटाउन सक्छ, तर त्यसअघि सफाइ पेश गर्ने मनासिब मौका दिनुपर्छ। जानीजानी लापरबाही गरी वा नियम-आदेश पालना नगरी हानि-नोक्सानी पुर्‍याएमा पारिश्रमिकबाट कट्टा गरी असुल गर्न सकिन्छ। कारबाहीमा चित्त नबुझेमा पैँतीस दिनभित्र हुलाक सेवा विभागका महानिर्देशकसमक्ष उजुरी गर्न सकिन्छ र महानिर्देशकले नब्बे दिनभित्र निर्णय गर्नुपर्छ; त्यो निर्णय अन्तिम हुन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 19(1)-(4), PDF p. 10
