GS Desk
Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w Linking of repatriation of PS Group “B” officers to the current DPC.
No. GS/AIAIASP/PS Gr.B/DPC/2013 dated August 29, 2013
To,
Ms P Gopinath,
Secretary,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.
Subject: Linking of repatriation of PS Group “B” officers to the current DPC.
Respected Madam,
IPASP Association expresses its gratitude for convening regular PS Group “B” DPC for the vacancy year 2013-14 well in advance giving good time to our members for joining their new assignments. At the same time it is also fact that many JTS posts are lying vacant in circles and Group “B” officers are officiating creating resultant vacancies in Group “B”. This position differs from circle to circle and therebysome of the Circles have not implemented orders pertaining to Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. ‘B’ cadre issued by directorate in the recently held supplementary DPC in toto. Despite having, clear orders to relive the promoted officers to their new assignments within one month from the date of issue of order, some circles have retained these promotees, particularly officiating in the same capacity, in respective circles without any valid reason though they had been allotted nearby Circles.
Apparently, this action of the CPMG/PMG is not only arbitrary but also has caused disparity in the promotional avenues of IP to ASP against clear vacancies that are due to be caused owing to the promotion of these officers. It seems that due to vested interest of PMG/CPMG in the matter, these officers are retained by Circles. What is the use of promotion when the promoted ASPs are not to be relieved to join the new assignment? Whereas many officers presently working in other circles are still awaiting repatriation to their parent circles giving tough time to them and their families. Furthermore Circles are not sending correct position of vacancies to Directorate perhaps either to retain ASPs of their choice or reasons best known to them. Even the officers repatriated to adjust officers promoted in supplementary DPC have not been relived to their choice circles. It does not mean that there is dearth of calibre in the cadre, rather everyone has the ability to do job as per their ability but they need opportunity instead of adopting pick and choose policy. So on this count there should be clear instruction to follow directorate orders so that no favouritism or hardship is felt at any level.
It is therefore urged upon kindly to intervene and place in orders to call for correct vacancies lying vacant or likely to be vacated owing to retirement or promotion by 31-12-2013 to enable the affected persons adjusted in the parent Circle by issuing appropriate repatriation orders against vacant posts and future posts likely to be formed by 31-12-2013 . Since this has cascading effect and chain reaction, therefore, this would also minimize the refusals of accepting promotions.
A positive action will be highly appreciated & line in reply is requested.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-

Govt not considering to raise retirement age to 62 yrs
There is raging speculation that the Centre may raise the retirement age of its staff but top sources say there is no such move.
“There is no such plan to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60 years,” a reliable source in the Government said.
There are about 50 lakh Central Government employees working in various departments including the Railways across the country.
Recent media reports had claimed that the Ministry of Personnel was working on a proposal to increase the age of service by two years as part of Government’s plan to defer payouts in the form of pensions and other payments to check fiscal deficit.
It was also speculated that the move may be timed ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
Sources in the Ministry said raising retirement age requires a detailed consultation with all stake holders and discussion with the Finance Ministry. Without the Finance Ministry’s nod, the matter cannot be processed, they said.
The retirement age for a majority of Central Government employees is 60 years. However, the age for retirement in case of teachers and scientists is 62 years.
In a related development, Chhattisgarh Government has recently increased the age of retirement to 62 years from 60 for its employees.
The age of superannuation varies in State Governments with majority of them keeping it at 60 years.
The Centre had in 1998 raised the retirement age of Central Government employees to 60 from 58 years.

GS Desk
Letter issued to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w issue of clarification on merger of Inspector Posts and ASPs cadre.
No. GS/AIAIASP/1/2012 dated 19/08/2013
To,
Ms P Gopinath,
Director General,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.
Subject : Minutes of the meeting taken by Member (Personnel)regarding restructuring of Inspector Posts cadre.
Ref. : Director (SR) letter No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 6th September, 2012 &No. 02/02/2012-SR dated 17th April, 2012.
Respected Madam,
In response to Directorate’s requisition of letter calling final view point of the Association on merger issue, it is submitted that this Association sought some clarification mentioned therein so as to discuss the same amongst our members before arriving at final conclusion. Unfortunately despite issue of repeated reminders no attention seems to have been paid at Directorate level towards above said letters.
At the same time no importance is being bestowed to IP/ASP cadre and their demands, may it be case of Grade Pay, fixation of pay under higher responsibility, merger or other career progression. These pending issues concerning our cadre are enhancing the sense of discontentment.
It is therefore urged to kindly look in to this vital issue personally and arrange to provide demanded clarification which is otherwise also binding on association before we go ahead on this sensitive issue. This will enshrine interest both the Association and Department as well. The Association has no objection if the matter is to be discussed in the meeting only for which next meeting as per convenience of members may kindly be ordered to fix. The Association will look forward positive response of the Department.
Hoping for favorable action and line in reply.
Yours sincerely,
(Vilas Ingale)

Circle ASP
(HQ) Sirsi -581402 Bangalore-560001 .
Subject: Reallotment of
IP/ASP’s from region to region.
Ref: Fresh
Respected madam,
It was
a precedence in the past that during the promotion from IP to ASP cadre, the
requests of the seniors who were previously allotted to other regions, were considered
when juniors were promoted.This principle is also being followed by Dte in PS
Gr B postings/ transfers. However, this practice is being discarded in our
circle in the past two years. The senior officers are working in other regions
and junior officers are working in the parent region. The officers working in
the other regions requested to their parent region several times personally to
your office but in vain. Now all such
officers have completed two years of service in the allotted regions.
The request of all
such officers is pending. This will demoralize the seniors. You will appreciate
the difficulties faced by IP/ASPs working at farther places away from their
home leaving behind their family due to academic and
other health reasons.
The Association
appeals to kindly consider the requests of the following officers and take a
favorable decision in the matter.
