Subject : Promotion and postings in Postal Services Group ‘B’ cadre. 

Ref.        : Dte Memo No. 9-14/2016-SPG dated 09-12-2016

Respected Madam,

          IP/ASP Association would like to bring to your kind notice that Directorate vide above captioned memo has appointed 105 Inspector Line Officers on regular basis in PS Gr. B cadre, but few circles have not implemented orders despite having clear orders to relive the promoted officers to their new assignments within 15 days from the date of issue of order.

It is to further bring to your kind notice that as per above orders all the ASPs 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, an officer is not willing to accept his promotion (including those 9 officers whose debarment period will be over in February/March 2017), his declination letter in writing should be sent to Directorate within 30 days from the date of issue of order, failing which, it shall be presumed that he has declined the promotion. 

It is also bring to your kind notice that 5 officers against whom punishment is current are selected in DPC (para 5 of memo dated 9-12-2016), but out of these, punishment of 3 officers is found current up to 2018, and therefore these officers will not get promotion till expiry of punishment period. The promotion against these 3 officers may be treated as vacancy for supplementary DPC.  

Requisite period is now elapsed to join the new assignment on promotion so the promotion of officers who have not joined may be treated as cancelled and vacancies arise owing to deemed refusal and filled these in supplementary DPC vacancies.

It is therefore requested to your kind honour to look into the matter personally and cause to issue necessary instructions to the defaulting circles to implement the Directorate orders in the spirit of given directions. The procedures for conduct of supplementary DPC for refusal / declination of promotion posts may be conducted immediately.

Thanking you,  

                                                                                Yours sincerely,
