Office O.ganization

The office is controlled by a District Revenue Officer. He is assisted by Administrative Officer,

The office is further divided into sections and is placed under the control of a Superintendent. The sections are arranged according to convenience and the detailed distribution of subjects and staff among them will vary from time to time.

The Superintendents, under the overall direction of the District Revenue Omcer, exercise control over the sections placed in their charge. It is the duty of the Superintendent to check any tendency to delay. They may pass final orders approving proposals of routine nature on set precedents or requiring formal sanction of Government or submit flles direct to the District Revenue Officer respect of subjects specifically allotted to them with reference to the instructions issued from time to time, provided that where the files, at any stage, involve general policy whether important or not, they shall be submitted only through the concerned Secretary.

The Superintendent is responsible for all the files relating to the subjects allotted to the cle-rk under him. He is directly responsible to the Offcer under whom he works for the efficient and expeditious dispatch of business in all stages in his section. The trainjng of the clerks under him is one of hl-s principal functions. He must see that the clerks pay proper attention to their work and that they do not waste time and paper on needless noting and coresponden:e. He should also ensure that really emergent matters are given immediate attention. Towards this purpose he must overhaul each seat in his section at least once a week ensuring that all papeB received have been brought to account in the personal Register and that no paper is held pending unduly. He will not merely superintend but will himself undertake to deal with *|e more difficult or important papers taking such assistance from clerks as he may find necessary. He is responsible for the accuracy of the notes and proceeding drafts from his section, lie is not expected to express views or to suggest what passed orders should be on a case except when there is a clear precedent o. that case is of a routine nature or the orders necessarily follow from some provision of law or rules. He should check the correctness of facts stated in any note or draft which may have been added to the file after it was submitted for orders as soon as it returns to the section, and before the draft is issued. He maintains disciprine in his section and sees to it that his orders or instructions are not disputed nor dis-regarded by his clerks.

Section Assistant. Corresponds in respect of subjects in his charge to Superintendent. Any reference hereinafter to Section Assistant shall be taken to include such offic€rs as are nominated to be in charge of routine adminlstration.

The Sedion Assistants are divided into two classes:

(i) Sr.Asst, and

(ii) iunior Asst.

,reference, The main duties of an Assistants posted in a section are to the communication properly and to assist the Superintendent or the LJ. D. C. in dealing with cases relatjng to the sedjon. The Lower division clerks and typists are expected to do work or a routine and mechanical nature, such as maintaining the prescribed registers, typing drafu, fair-coping, dispatching and indexing.

Steno-typists do shorthand work for the Colledor and Joint Collector and such other items of wo* as are entrusted to them.

General Discipline- while in offlce all members of the establishment must be having in a quiet and dignified manner. They must address the other members of the establishment courteously. They must attend to their work and not waste their time. They must try to maintain perfect silence and if they have occasion to talk, they must do so in a low voice so as not to disturb others. They are padicularly warned against the heinous offence of divulge in to outsiders or to other memberc of the establishment any information (whether expressly marked confidential or not) that may have come to their knowledge in their official capacity. If any vakil, petitioner or other private person applies to them for any such information, they will refer him politely to the District Revenue Officer. They must of course not accept any presenE or remunerations from any visitor, party or other per$)n resorting to the office on business nor lay themselves under obligation to such persons in any other way. They flrust not have recourse to anonymous petitions or letters in order to ventilate their grievances or supposed grievances. If any member of the office establishment thinks that he llgs any grievance, he may represent it to the District Revenue Officer in person. The Distrid Revenue Officer will be prepared to receive visitors who wish to see him on official matters on any working day during office hours; but if clerk and others wish to make representations about their claims to promotion and such matters, it is more convenient that they should do so in writing when their contentions can be examined at leisure with reference to the records. Longwinded verbal representations are apt rather to contus€ and irrikte the officer addressed (who is unlikely to be able to remember all the circumstances of the case or to discuss it without records) than to benefit the person addressing him. It is not desirable to permit any collection of subscriptions for religious, charitable, etc., purposes by individuals or groups or persons on their own behalf or on behalf of associations in the office premises since such a practice will not be colsistent with the atmosphere of discipline and decorum that should prevail in the office. 4

Tidiness and Cleanliness of the Office-A waste-paper basket must be kept within a convenient distance of every member of the staff. Waste paper must be thrown into these and not on the floor. Stauonery and records must be put away tidily irLthe Clerk's almirahs, and not left lyinq on tables and on the tops of almirahs exposed to dust. All rubbish and Dbsolete forms or publications must be cleared away, not to litter the office. The office and the officers' rooms must be properly swept and dusted daily. The office daffadaris responsible for seeing that this is done and neglect in this respect will be met with severe punishment. Attendance-

(a) Hou's of Attendance.-All members of the establishment should attend office from 10.30 a.m. to 5-00 p.m. on all week days except recognised holidays. Peons attached to Officers' rooms and sections should be in office by 10.00 a.m. and see thatomcer' rooms or section rooms to which they are attached are properly cleaned and kept tjdy. It is no gainsaying that Heads of sections must set an example to others by themselves attending office punctually. An interval of half an hour between 1.00 p.m. and 2.00 p.m. will be allowed for lunch on all week days, but none should leave the office premises normally for taking their lunch elsewhere without permission.

(b) Attdhdance Register.-An Attendance Register in the prescribed form will be maintained for all the sections under an Assistant S€cretary. The Clerks and section Heads must initial it as soon as they come to omce. The Register will be closed 10 minutes after the office opens and will be placed before the District Revenue Oflicer with the casual leave and late attendance reports by their personal clerks or other section clerks to be nominated by the District Revenue Officer with an abstract of the Attendance Register in the form qiven in Appendix by 10.45 a.m. The Distrid Revenue officer will peruse the Attendance Register so placed before him, approve the abstract,

(c) Late Attendance.-If any clerk does not attend office punctually, the word "late" will b€ entered against his name in the column for that date; if he comes later on, the hour at which he arrives should be entered by the Personal Clerks maintaining the Attendance Register. If the late attendance is habltual, such punishment as may be considered necessary; in the interests of discipline, may be awarded.

(d) Forfeiture of casual leave-For every three days of late attendance without permission, a day's casual leave will be forfeited with the late permission that can be granted to an individual who applies for it before hand, will be up to 12-30 p.m. only. Any day on which a member of the Establishment attends office after 12-30 p.m. but before 2- OO p.m. whether with or without permission will be treated as half a day's casual leave. Attendance after 2-00 p.m. will be treated as full day's casual leave.

(e) Work olt -of office hours and on Holidays.-{lerks and Superintendents are on no account to take papers out of the office in order to work at home; without the express permission of the District Revenue Officer in each case. As a general rule, work on Sundays and other public holidays are prohibited and no papers must be submitted to the Members on these days except really urgent papers. As far as possible returns due on a Sunday or other holiday will be submitted on Ele day before such Sunday or holiday. In submitting papers to the l'lembers on such days, the Dlstrict Revenue Oificer must exercise the utmost discretion. Urg"nt io.l on holidays-On all holidays' skeleton staff including a telephone operator, headed by a Superintendent, wlll be on special duty from 10-30 a-m. to 5-00 p.m. for the disposal of urgent work in each branch, Care should be taken to put the turns in such a way that no single clerk is required to attend the omce on more than one holiday during a group of holidays, A Government servant on turn duty on a holiday may be granted another day in lieu as compensatory leave. But not more than 10 such days of compensatory leave may be granted in a calendar year and no such compensatory leave can be taken after the expiry of six months from the public holiday for which it is substituted. Not more than seven such compensatory leave days may be accumulated and this limit can be reduced at the discretion of the head of the omce.

Casual leavO-(a) Casual leave will be granted under such rules and conditions as are laid down in paragraph 5 of B.S.O. No. 131. It will not be granted on vague and general grounds such as for "urqent private affairs" or for "a certain ceremony". The purpose for which leave is required must be stated definitely, but clerks should abstain from giving unsavory medical particulars. Aprlicauons for leave ("includinq extensions of leave) must be made, and orders on them obtained before the leave is taken or the applicant is due to rejoin duty. Absence in anticipauon of sanction will only be condoned if the necessify for the leave or extension could not have been foreseen. In such cases the nature of the sudden emergency must be definitely stated. Clerk dis regarding this rule will do so at their risk. when a clerk goes on casual leave he must invariably hand over any office keys in his custody to the head of his sectjon. Applications from the heads of sections and the Personal Clerks of offices and from peons on duty with the officers, will be submitted through the omcers concerned. Applications from peons must also pass through the daffadar who will endorse on the application whether the applicant can be spared. The applications of clerks and peons should be submitted to the District Revenue offlcer concerned who will dispose of them after ascertaining whether the applicants are eligible for the leave.

Clerk and Superintendents should specify, in their applications for the grant of casual leave whether there are any cases which are posted for hearing before the Members or whether there are any references which have to be attended to specially during the period covered by the casual leave, applied for by them. When any case is posted for hearing before the MembeB, the responsibility for putting up the connected records and files to the Members in time, will be on the Superintendent concerned, or the Superintendent in-charge, if the Superintendent concerned is on causal leave or deputed on other duty.

Casual leave or permission of Gazetted Assistants.-The following procedure should be followed by the Assistant Secretaries and other Gazetted Assistants when they require casual leave or permission to absent themselves. The application for the grant of casual leave or permission should be addressed to the Collector and normally sent sufficiently in advance io as to enable him to make substitute arrangements in time, to carry on special and urgent items of work during the absence. The application should be dealt with as "Special" and sent to the Collectbr in a blue pad if in office, or to his personal address if sent by post or by messenger, Soon after receipt of the application, the Collector will pass orders and also make suitable arrangements to carry on urgent work during the absence of the Superintendent. He will also inform the Officers concerned and then circulate the file to the Member or Members at head-quarters for perusal. On return from circulation the papers will be sent to the concerned Assistant for making necessary entries in the common casual leave register maintained for the entire office in respect of Gazetted Officers.

Absence due to infectious disease-Whenever a case of cholera, small-pox or other infectious disease occurs at the dwelling of any clerk or peon, he must repoft the fad at 6 once to the District Revenue Officer by a verbal message-not in writing (as the written report might convey infection) send to the S€ction head his keys and stay away from duty until further orders. The Distrid Revenue Officer will report such cases to the Collector and obtain his orders. In cases where no substitute is appointed and no extra cost to Government is involved, such absence will be treated as casual leave but will not count against the maximum period of such leave admissible. If, however, a substitute is neces-sary ordinary leave debitable to the leave account of the Government servant should be granted. Disregard of this rule will be severely visited, as imperiling the health of other members of the staff

z. purciase of new computers,The Pentium II computers were purchased in the year 1999-2000 for 14 in erstwhile talukas under Phase II. At present, the number of Software packages and Databases have increased and with the existing Computers, it is difficult to extend the services from the TAHSILDAR Omces. Moreover, the same capacity components like Mother Board, CPU, Hard Disk etc. are not being manufactured by the vendors and therefore, whenever these components are damaged / crashed it is becoming difficult to replace / repair and hence TAHSILDARS are not in a position to extend citizen services through computers. Even for upgradation of the existing systems with the latest componenE, especially in case of Motherboards, the cabinet does not support for upgradation. Hence, they need to be replaced with new CPUS @ 1 Server in each l.landal and on average Rs 25,000/- per CPU. 14
