    Points for Consideration by Condemnation Committee

    • Recommend condemnation of RMFMs only if they are unserviceable.
    • Determination of unserviceability is based on the certificate of the Divisional Head, cross-verified by the vendor's fitness certificate.
    • Age criterion is an indicative factor, but not the sole consideration for condemnation.
    • Consideration of parameters like vendor-prescribed lifespan, average number of franked articles, and amount spent on repairs.
    • The Committee should assess the machine based on a tentative matrix of these parameters.

    Condemnation Process
