Vide this letter, the Association likes to remind your honour a propos letter submitted to your esteemed office through SR Division under No. 10-9/2013-SR dated 30th September 2013. Another relevant correspondence pending in Directorate may also be looked into.

          As inscribed in the letters hitherto, your kind attention is hereby brought to the fact that the issue of All India seniority list of IPs has not yet been resolved. Although assurance had been given by Hon’ble Secretary (Posts) on 6/2/2013 and by Member (P) on 23/9/2013 for early resolution of issue and again on yet action is pending. This Association was recently informed by Directorate vide memo No. 137-89/2013-SPB-II dated 11/10/2013 that seniority list is likely to be circulated within 15 days (copy enclosed), but is learnt that it will again take few weeks.

          It is therefore fervently requested to arrange issue of Combined All India Seniority List of Inspector Posts cadre from the year 1998 onwards immediately and make it available in the website of India Posts.

Maintenance of select panel while finalizing GDS selections - Clarification

Copy of Directorate memo No. 19-14/2010-GDS dated  18 October,  2013 
Subject:- MAINTENANCE OF SELECT PANEL WHILE FINALIZING THE SELECTION OF VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS.
 
I am directed to refer your office letters No. STA/22-12/BG-West/III dated 12.03.2013 & 26.06.2013 and this Directorate letter No. even dated 25.06.2010 on the subject cited above and to clarify the doubts as follows:-
 
Ser
Point of doubt
Clarification
1
If the approved candidates in the merit list declined to accept the offer of appointment and still there are number of eligible candidates in the merit list, whether the selection may be made by listing another select panel of 5 more candidates applied to the original notification or re-notification is to be issued in such cases?
No. In case all five approved candidates decline, the select panel gets exhausted and, therefore, in such cases selection process is to be initiated afresh.
2
A panel of 5 candidates was finalized during December 2012. First candidate did not turn up and the next meritorious candidates was selected and appointed on 16.01.2013. But he was terminated from service w.e.f. 01.04.2013 for his unsatisfactory work. Whether third candidate in the panel of selection made in the said case may be apointed or to go again for fresh appointment by fresh notification?
Apart from the contingencies mentioned in Para 6(i) to (iii), the select panel may be utlized in other contingencies as well provided the select panel is valid reckoning one year from the date of finalization of the select panel initially.
 
This issues with the approval of the competent authority.
