GS meets DDG(P) and DDG(Estt) in the Postal Directorate:

General Secretary alongwith Mr.S.Ravi former CHQ Treasurer met DDG(Estt) and requested to expedite the revision of Grade Pay to IP from Rs 4200 to 4600. DDG (Estt) informed that the case has become prejudice as some IP in Kerala Circle has filed a case for revision of Grade Pay before CAT Ernakulam. Now the Dte. has found a new reason to further delay the case.

DDG(P) was requested to finalise the DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Group B. A letter was given addressed to the DG. Copy of the same is furnished below:

Copy of CHQ letter No. CHQ/AIA/06/2010 dated 06.07.2010 addressed to DG Posts:

Sub: Holding of DPC for regular promotion in PS Group 'B' Cadre.
Ref: Postal Directorate letter No. 9-35/2010-SPG dated 26.05.10.

Respected Madam,

           Postal Directorate has called for ACRs and vigilance clearance reports from all Circles for the year 2010 vide reference above. As per Model Calendar for DPCs vidde DOP&T O.M. No.22011/9/98-Estt.(D) dated 08.09.1998, the approved select panel for the vacancies of 2010 should have been oready by 31.12.2009. By this time in July 2010, the process of documentation  for 2011 should have been on the verge of completion for holding DPC by 31.08.2010.

         It is evident from the above that the process of DPC is not at all undertaken as per the prescribed guidelines of DOP&T (Nodal Department). Due to delay in holding of DPC, Circles are resorting to adhoc promotions in P.S.Group 'B' cadre and many senior ASPs are retiring from service without getting regular promotion into P.S.Group 'B'.

         It is, therefore, urged upon that action may be initiated to hold DPC for the year 2010 and 2011 and to get approved select panel ready by 31.12.2010 for the above years so that there remains no need for Circles to resort to adhoc promotions in P.S.Group'B' cadre.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(Roop Chand)
General Secretary
