B cadre.

          It is to further bring to your kind notice that as per above orders all the officers promoted to PS Gr. B cadre had to be relieved from their former assignments within 15 days from the date of issue of order  by Directorate. It has also stated in Directorate’s above captioned letter that, in case, posting order from the allotted circles are not received, the circle where they are stationed now can relive the promoted officer and asked to report to the allotted Circle Headquarter. Requisite period in both the orders have already been elapsed to join the new assignment on promotion. If the officers are still not joined then their promotion order may be treated as cancelled and vacancies arise owing to deemed refusal and filled these in ensuing DPC for the year 2016-17.

In this regard, a kind reference is invited to para-3 of the Department of Posts (Personnel Division) letter No.25-10/2014-SPG dated 09/07/2014 coupled with para-7 of DOP & T OM No.22011/9/98-Estt (D) dated 08-09-1998  wherein it is provided that a DPC may take into account all clear expected vacancies by retirement in the concerned grade as well as chain vacancies on account of retirement etc. in the higher grades which can be clearly anticipated in the same vacancy year.

Department of Posts vide Personnel Division letter dated 09/07/2014 has also issued instructions to percolate the seniority quota vacancies arising in higher grades in a vacancy year down to lower cadres/grades and to take into account along with the clear vacancies arising in a particular grade. Further, as clarified vide Para.4.(II) of the said letter a Circle will take into account the vacancies arising from HAG to PS Group-B Cadre in that Circle in a vacancy year as chain vacancies for lower cadres in addition to existing and anticipated vacancies in the said lower cadre arising in that vacancy year.

Furthermore it is bring to your kind notice that last year DPC process was stated by Directorate vide memo no. 9-02/2015-SPG dated 26/3/2016 and finished on 10-11-2015, it means more than 7 months period took to promote only 122 officers to PS Gr. B cadre. Whereas this year, the process was started late i.e. in the month of July 2016 vide memo No. 9-14/2016-SPG dated 05-07-2016.  

It is therefore fervently requested to your kind honour to look into the matter personally and cause to issue necessary instructions to concerned circle / division in the Directorate to;

1.   issue declination of promotion memo of the officers who did not join to new assignment till this date.

2.   issue the list officers in the zone of consideration for DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B cadre for the year 2016-17.

3. issue strict instructions to all circles to provide correct, requisite and accurate information to Directorate on the allotted date for furnishing information on DPC.

4.  issue time bound slot to all circles to handover the APARs and other requisite information to Directorate for convening of DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B cadre for the year 2016-17.

5.   call for vacancies from all circles for the PS Gr. B DPC (2016-17) well in advance.

6.   call for the names of the officers from all circles for repatriation to their home circle.

7.   complete all the procedures in this issue by the end of September 2016.

A positive action will be highly appreciated and line in reply is requested. 

Thanking you,   

                                                                                Yours sincerely,
