Letter to Secretary (Posts) to allot PS Gr.B officers to their parent circles

No. CHQ/AIAIPASP/DPC-PS Gr.B/2015                               Dated :     9/3/2015

To,                                                                                          

Ms Kavery Banerjee,  

Secretary (Posts),

Department of Posts, 

Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg, 

New Delhi 110 001.  

Subject : Promotion and postings in Postal Services Group ‘B’ cadre.  

Ref.        : Dte Memo No. 9-25/2014-SPG dated 20/2/2015

Respected Madam,

          IP/ASP Association would like to bring to your kind notice that DPCs for promotion to the cadre of JTS Gr. A for the year 2013-14 and DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the year 2014-15 has been declared last month with abnormal delay for the reasons best known to administration. Resultantly, the officers in the line of consideration have been discriminated financially denying for an option to join before 31-12-2014.

Furthermore, result of JTS DPC for 2013-14 has only been followed by Group ‘B’ DPC resulting in non inclusion of substantial vacancies vacated consequent upon promotion of Group ‘B’ officers to JTS in respective quota (75%) leaving great chunk of vacancies in Group B. Now, ASPs in the line of consideration are voicing against this discrimination that arises due to non insertion of resultant vacancies and wrong calculation thereof.

It is pertinent to mention here that had result of JTS DPC been declared first, many officers allotted outside their parent circle due to non-availability of vacancies  in the circle at the time of issue of Group B memo would have been allotted to their parent Circle. Even vacancies arising on superannuation on 28-2-15 have not been kept in view while making allotment. I am quoting example of  S/Shri R. N. Tavakari, ASP, Bangalore City RMS, Bangalore and H. L. Nataraj, ASP, Bangalore RMS, Bangalore promoted in above said DPC who can easily be adjusted in Karnataka if resultant six vacancies occur on two counts, aftermath of JTS DPC and secondly superannuation in PS Gr. B on 28-2-2015 are taken into consideration.  The copies of representations dated 2-3-2015 received from above named officers  are enclosed herewith for kind information and necessary action.

It is therefore earnestly requested to kindly look into the matter personally and issue directions to the respective Division of Directorate to convene early supplementary DPC to remove this inconsistency but before that arrange to accommodate the officers allotted to other circles keeping in view the fact that these circles have clear vacancies to accommodate as given in the example for Karnataka Circle.   

          Hopping for a just and positive action at the earliest.

                                                                                 Yours sincerely,

 Sd/

Inter-Circle transfer of Inspector Posts under Rule 38 of P&T Manual Vol. IV.

No. GS/AIAIASP/Rule-38/IP-Assam/2015                      dated  :  4/2/2015.

To,

Shri V. P. Singh,  

Dy. Director General (P),

Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi 110 001.

Subject :    Inter-Circle transfer of Inspector Posts under Rule 38 of P&T Manual Vol. IV.

Ref.       :     Dte No. 141-177/2009-SPB-II dated 14^th December 2010.

Respected Sir,

Associations very much regret that we have not received any positive response to our letters in connection with above cited subject. The assurance given to Association about adjusting all IPs seeking under Rule 38 transfers to their parent circle has not been implemented in toto till this date, as one time measure against the possible vacancies as agreed upon in the meeting at Directorate level. Apparently our letters to Directorate are being ignored which are creating sense of discontentment amongst the members thereby jeopardizing the postal services.

It is noteworthy to mention that IPs who qualified in the competitive examination conducted by SSC have not been adjusted by few circles like surplus candidates. Shri Mrinal Kanti Bhandari, Inspector Posts, Paherkandi Sub Division, Karimganj (Assam) have already applied for Rule 38 transfer to West Bengal Circle where considerable vacant posts of Inspector Posts cadre are presently available, but WB and Assam circle administrations are not implementing the instructions issued by Directorate on the subject.

It is therefore once again requested your honour to kindly issue instructions to CPMsG Assam and West Bengal Circle to consider the request of above named official immediately against the available vacancies.

We shall appreciate an immediate reply.

Yours Sincerely,

Sd/-
