3.1 It is reiterated that delivery staff who opt for BYOD is allowed payment of monthly remuneration of Rs 350 subject to mandatory process of 90% of the total received articles through PMA. No. of articles delivered may not be considered for remuneration under BYOD scheme. It has been observed on multiple occasions that due to this misapprehension, remuneration to delivery staff who have opted for BYOD is not being processed. Delivery staff as well as supervisory staff may be made aware about handling of accountable articles through PMA.
4. All circles are requested to direct the Divisional Heads concerned for timely reimbursement under BYOD scheme, which is crucial for keeping the delivery staff enrolled in BYOD and incentivize other delivery staff to participate in this scheme
