Sub: Quota of IP Line in PS Group “B” Examination on introduction of Postmaster cadre in Postal Wing.


Ref: Postal Directorate 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22.11.2010 and A-34012/01/2011-DE dated 06.04.2011

Respected Madam,
It is brought to your kind notice that there are total 866 posts in PS Group “B” cadre. As per present Recruitment Rules of PS Group “B”, 75% posts i.e. 649 posts are filled up from IP Line officials by promotion and remaining 25% posts i.e. 217 posts are filled up through LDCE of IP Line/General Line officials. At present an IP having 24-26 years in Inspector, Posts cadre is getting regular promotion in PS Group “B” cadre.
Now, on introduction of Postmaster cadre vide no.4-17/2008 SPB –II dated 22.11.2010, 116 Posts of Sr. Postmaster have been earmarked by the Department. Out of these 116 posts, 29 posts (25%) will be filled up by promotion of general line officials through DPC and remaining 87 posts (75%) will be filled up through LDCE of IP Line officials.
From the above, it is clear that 116 posts taken out from P.S. Group “B” cadre have affected the promotional avenue of 75% quota of IP Line officials by promotion through DPC.
In view of above, it is requested to kindly intervene and take 116 posts of Sr. Postmaster from 217 posts (25%) of PS Group “B” earmarked to be filled up through LDCE of IP Line (19%)/ General Line (6%) officials only by reducing their quota appropriately in PS Group ”B” so that introduction of Postmaster cadre in Postal Wing should not have any cascading effect on IP line officials through DPC for 649 posts (75%) of PS Group “B” cadre otherwise introduction of Postmaster cadre will increase the span of promotion of IP Line officials which has already been decreased. It is suggested to identify the posts of PS Group B and Senior PM for IP & General Line as given below:-
PRESENT STATUS:
Total PS Group B Posts 866
Posts filled up by promotion of IP Line officials through DPC 649
Promotion through LDCE
IP Line – 165, General Line - 52= 217
PROPOSED STATUS:
Total PS Group B Posts 866
Posts earmarked for promotion through DPC
IP Line – 649, General Line - 29= 678
Posts earmarked for promotion through LDCE
PS Group B (IP Line) – 78, General Line – 23
& Senior Postmaster – 87 (IP Line)= 188
Appropriate action may also please be taken to amend the PS Group B Recruitment Rules.
A positive action will be highly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

(Roop Chand)
General Secretary
