Sub: Repatriation of PS Gr. B
officers to Home Circle – Reg.
Ref.: Directorate
No. 9-11/2013-SPG Dt. 15.02.2013
Respected Madam,
This
is in continuation to letter No. GS/IPASP/Repatriation/2013 dated 25/3/2013,
whereby it was urged upon to cause issue of repatriation orders, in view of
imbalances created by vacancies in Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’ cadre.
Association
has time and again highlighted the issue by way of issuing series of letters
for initiating timely action, in order to avoid the void created by non-posting
of regular incumbents instead of utilising officiating arrangements, adhoc
arrangements for years and years. During the course of informal meeting with
Hon’ble Secretary (Posts) & other officers at Directorate, this vital issue
was discussed in detail but it seems that a little more than convincing is
required.
Madam,
you will agree that a large number of STS/JTS vacancies are lying vacant in
Circles since long and PS Group “B” officers are officiating against these
posts creating resultant vacancies in Group “B” in circles and imbalance
thereof upto ASP/IP level affecting timely promotion in each cadre. Many a
times, adverse position occurs where the approved persons of a particular
circle are made to work outside their parent circle, while there exists
resultant vacancies in their own parent circle due to officiating of number of incumbents
on Group A posts for longer duration. Repatriation of officers working outside
their parent circle is the only solution to minimise these imbalances. It may
also be explored that willing PS Group B officers (working outside their parent
circle) be deputed to their parent circle without any extra remunerations,
subject to undertaking that they would not claim regular benefits till their
posting against a clear cut vacancy. In this way, Circles would get experienced
manpower for their optimum utilization. This would also encourage the promoted
officers to never say ‘No’ to the promotion towards fag end of their service
career. Ratio of acceptance of promotion would certainly rise and hard work
exercise of convening of DPC would not go futile.
It
is therefore urged upon to look into the suggestions, may be considered and put
to action please.
With
profound greetings,
Yours
sincerely,

Perhaps the order might not be implemented due to RMS sub division being less in numbers . However, there must be definitely an order which states that minimum years of working in field is required for promotion . Those who work as IP/ASPs attached to RO/CO/DO & keep continuing there , should not be definitely given an advantage . IP/ASPs in the field keep slogging to complete the work & targets & ultimately get only average scores in their APARs & continuing with a forever unsettled life and those who are near to higher officials manage to get good scores & suitable postings ( that too in RO & CO only , merely as eyewash the branch they are attached to is changed ) . Also, many a times they only create such image of an official who is disliked due to personal reasons by them & is working in field, before higher officers that they too act in a prejudicial way. It may not be required to complete the field condition in both the wings but at least 2-3 of service in field ( as sub divisional head )must be made mandatory for promotion to ASP & further Grp-B.
