Respected Madam,

It is intimated that meeting was taken by the Secretary (Posts) with our Association on 11.08.2011. Minutes of this meeting were issued by the Department vide No. cited above. Issue of holding of periodical meeting with Association at regular intervals was discussed and our demand was accepted. Since then, no periodical meeting has been held with our Association so far. Hence, agenda for next periodical meeting is being submitted herein under:

Item No.1:- Cadre restructuring /promotional aspects concerning Inspectors and Asstt Supdts .

A committee was constituted under the Chairpersonship of Member (P) vide directorate order No .1/1 /2011 SR dated 09.09.2011. Two meetings of the committee were held on 18.10.2011 and 03.11.2011 in the Dak Bhawan New Delhi. Minutes of these two meetings were issued by the Department vide No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 14.11.2011. The proposal of the Department for forgoing gazetted statues of ASPOs and up-gradation of IPOs was deliberated in depth in the 37thAll India Biennial Conference of this Association was held at Banguluru on 28thand 29th January 2012 and the house passed a resolution unanimously which is reproduced below-

“This Association is against the merger of Inspector Posts and Assistant Superintendents Posts Cadre. Inspector Posts should be granted Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- with effect from 01/01/2006 at par with Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC in tune with directions of the Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench”.

This was conveyed to the Chairperson i.e. Member (P) vide this Association letter No.CHQ/IP/ASP/1/2012 dated 22.02.2012.

It is pointed out here that cadre restructuring proposal i/r/o Inspector of CBDT/CBEC have been sent to the DOPT/MOF whereas our proposal is still pending in the Department. Hence, it is urged that necessary directions/instructions may be issued to the committee to finalise its proposal and submit the same to the competent authority for further course of action.

Item No. 2 :- Quota of IP line in PS Group “B” Examination on introduction of Postmaster Cadre in Postal Wing.

Out of 866 posts of PS Group “B”, 116 posts of Senior Postmaster have been earmarked for Postmaster Cadre in the manner given below :

IP Line
75%
87 posts through LDCE
General Line
25%
29 post through DPC

Thus, 750 posts still remain in PS Group “B”. These posts may be divided among IP Line and General Line as suggested below by suitable amendment in Recruitment Rules of PS Group “B”.

No. of Group B posts available for General Line officials:

Number of Group B posts available for General Line Officials prior to introduction of Postmaster Cadre (6% of 866)
52
No. of posts in PS Group “B” through Examination (3% of 750)
23
No. of posts in Sr. Postmaster Grade through DPC (25% of 116)
29
Total posts available for General Line
52

Thus, General Line Officials are not loosing any Group “B” posts due to introduction of Postmaster Cadre.

No. of Group “B” posts available for IP Line Officials:

No. of Group “B” posts available for IP Line Officials prior to introduction of Postmaster Cadre (94% of 866)
814
No. of posts in PS Group “B” through examination (19 % of 866)
165
No. of posts in Sr. Postmaster Grade through LDCE (75% of 116)
87
No. of posts in PS Group “B” through LDCE – proposed (10% of 750)
75
Total posts available for IP Line through examination
162
No. of posts in PS Gr. B through DPC – proposed (87% of 750)
652
Total posts available for IP Line in PS Gr. B + Sr. Postmaster
814

Thus, IP Line officials will loose only three posts in examination quota but will get these posts by promotion by DPC. Overall, there is no change in the quota of IP and General Line.

In view of the above facts, it is requested to kindly reconsider and implement the proposal by taking appropriate action to amend the PS Group “B” Recruitment Rules.

Item No. 3 :- Issue of Combined Seniority List of Inspectors, Posts from the
year 1999.

This Association addressed the Department on the subject on 31/12/2010 followed by reminder on 22/3/2012, but no action has been taken by the Department so far. It is requested to kindly arrange for issue of Combined Seniority List of Inspectors, Posts from the year 1999 onwards and make it available in the website of the India Posts so that our members may aware of their seniority position in the All India Seniority List and point irregularity if any.

It is requested to kindly grant periodical meeting and arrange for fixing date and time for holding of the same.

Yours sincerely,

  1. Dear Secretary, I think you are cutting the throat of your cadre (IP/ASP Cadre).

    1. The agenda taken by you for discussion with the DG (P)as regards to fixation of quota for IP/Genl line is neither approved in the CWC nor in general body meeting.

    2. Why the total number of posts for LDCE of Sr PM exam will be diverted from the posts of 19 % & 6% of Gr. B. exam without amending the prevailing recruitment rules of PS Gr B exam.

    3. Out of 52 posts of general line, 23 posts have been filled up in last year. Of remaining 29 posts, only 02 are expected vacant at present and there will be no clear vacancy from general line in near future. As such 29 posts for Sr PM from general line will remain vacant for an indefinite period.

    4. The posts of 19 % for PS Gr B should not be diverted for Sr PM, as around 19 posts are expected vacant as on date exclusively for PS Group B.

    5. If, all the 87 posts would be earmarked for Sr PM, then no exam for PS Gr. B will be conducted for coming 10 years.

    6. Under no circumstances the quota for Sr PM should be carved out from the PS Gr. B as a whole.

    7. Conclusion: Discussions should be made with the DG(P) with regard to carving out of 116 posts for Sr PM from the 500 upgraded posts of ASPs to Gr B (which has been decided in the last meeting on cadre restructure). We may perhaps carve out the 116 posts of Sr PM as detailed below.

    Total upgraded posts of Gr B = 500
    75% promotion from IP/ASP on seniority = 288
    19% promotion from IP through LDCE= 73
    6% promotion from genl line= 23
    Remaining 116 (87+29) posts for Sr PM. = 116

    B K Satapathy, ASP

  2. Here also( including Shri. BK Satapathy ASP) all are conviniently forgetting the quota for IP/ASP seniority in the Sr PM Cadre. Why this is not considered at any level be it in our association or by the dept. If a senior ASP did not want to become a supdt/AD due to some compelling reason, the Sr PM rectt rules prevent him to be come a Gp B officer. Why this partiallity?? At the same time what the junior IP/ASP have done wrong???? why the 19% LCDE quota was proposed to be reduced to compensate the Sr PM quota. The dept should ensure the level playing field for all the IP/SP by enabling them to become either Sr PM or Supdt/AD either by virtue of his seniority or passing LCDE.. Accordingly, the sr PM rectt rules should be amended to pave way quota for IP line seniority. But the million dollar question is>>>>> would our association fight for this ??????( I don't think so as fighting for this will loose some posts in the IP seniority quota in PS Gp B cadre which is not at all liked by our senior ASPs who are in the helm of affairs.
