Subject : Filling up of vacant posts of HSG-I (IP Line) cadre.
Respected Madam,
The Department has issued orders vide Memo No. 04-44/2012-SPB.II dated 18th April, 2013 permitting circles to fill up the vacant posts of HSG-I in Post Offices and RMS Offices on the basis of existing recruitment rules, as amendments of revised Rules of HSG-I have not been approved by DOP&T and UPSC. It is seen from the above memo that department has overlooked the fact that there exist HSG-I in IP line as well. No orders have been issued to fill the vacancies in HSG-I held by IP line officials thereby further eroding the promotional prospects of Inspectors causing frustration amongst the Inspectors cadre.
The Department has no any concrete steps to implant the accepted recommendations of the Second Cadre Review Committee also even after more than two decades. It is therefore in the interests of this cadre that the present cadre strength should be maintained and any attempt to reduce the cadre strength at HSG-I level without taking into account the declining promotional avenues of the Inspectors cadre would be detrimental to the interests of this cadre. It is apparent from the return of file by DOP&T that the proposed creation of separate cadre of Postmasters and that too by amalgamating the share of Inspectors cadre and General line had disturbed the subtle equation between the General line and Inspectors line and creates more problems to the administration than respite that could be visualized at present.
This Association is of the view that there is no need to seek any further clarification from DOP&T to fill the IP line vacancies of HSG-I particularly when these are to be filled on old recruitment rules which are otherwise common for that purpose and sanctioned posts. There should also be no mention about referring the matter to DOP&T in the said memo rather Circle should be given clear instructions to fill the vacant post of IP line too simultaneously but unfortunately this has not taken place.
It is therefore requested to kindly issue instructions to all Circles to fill all the vacant post of HSG-I (IP Line) on the same analogy as given in the case of HSG-I General line. If any change is still felt to be necessary in the interest of better efficiency, it would be only fit and proper that association may be consulted before revising the recruitment rules and resubmitting file to DOP&T.
Hoping for an early action in the matter and line in reply.
With warm regards,

Letter to Secretary (Posts)...Regarding Non implementation of Modified Assured Carrier Scheme for Inspector Posts/Assistant Supdt. Posts cadre in true spirit.

Subject : Non implementation of Modified Assured Carrier Scheme for Inspector Posts / Assistant Supdt. Posts cadre in true spirit.
Respected Madam,
Your kind attention is invited to this Associations letter of even number dated 10/12/2012 and 4/3/2013 wherein justice being denied to our members due to non convening of DPC for grant of timely MACP by circles was brought to the notice of Directorate but unfortunately no attention seems to have been paid at Directorate level towards above said letters, as till this date, neither the above cited letters acknowledged nor replied.
This Association would like to bring to your kind notice that, DOPT has already issued crystal clear instructions under their OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19/5/2009 stating that cases maturing during the first half (April-September) of a particular financial year shall be taken up for consideration by the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of January. Similarly, the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of July of any financial year shall process the cases that would be maturing during the second-half (October-March) of the same financial year.
In view of the above, this Association has requested Directorate vide above referred letters to issue instructions to all circles to follow the orders issued by DOPT both in letter and spirit, but till date many circles have not convened their pending DPCs for MACP to IP/ASP cadre.
It is therefore once again requested to kindly issue strict instructions to all circles to convene the pending DPCs by the end of this month.
A line in reply is requested.
Yours sincerely,

Letter to Secretary (Posts)...Regarding non maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.

Secretary,
Department of Post,

New Delhi-110001.
Subject: Regarding non maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.
Respected Madam,
The IP/ASP Association intends to bring to your kind notice how Circles are resorting to ad-hoc arrangement in total disregard to the statutory provisions on the subject as well as proper manpower management and career advancement of the employees. As explained in DOP&T’s O.M. No.28036/8/87-Estt.(D) dated 30.03.1988 read with O.M. No.28036/1/2001-Estt.(D) dated 23.07.2001, promotions/ appointments on ad-hoc basis are to be resorted to a post which cannot be kept vacant in consideration of its functional/operational requirement. In our Department, posts of PS Group ‘B’ are of such a nature that these cannot be kept vacant in the larger interest of department and public as well.
Whenever ad-hoc promotions are found inescapable in selection posts in the exigency of service, the same should be ordered only from amongst the senior-most eligible staff. As a rule, a junior should not be promoted, ignoring his senior unless the competent authority ordering the ad-hoc promotion, considers him unsuitable. Certain circles are over sighting these rules while making ad-hoc promotions. Assam Circle is set example where two juniors of Shri Ganesh Kumar Sarmah, ASP (HQ), Tezpur Division are still working on ad-hoc basis in PS Gr. B cadre at Circle office as ADPS (Mails) and ADPS (FS). It means that inter-se-seniority has not been taken in to consideration while making the ad-hoc arrangements in PS Gr. B cadre.
This Association therefore requested your honour to kindly issue instructions to all the circles to fill short term vacancies of PS Gr. B cadre on ad-hoc basis according to the guidelines issued by DOP&T and as per the inter-se-seniority cum fitness at the earliest and convene timely DPC in each cadre for career advancement of the employees and to avoid ad-hoc arrangements that is otherwise also creating ambiguities.
Hoping for a proper course of action and line in reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
