No. CHQ/AIAIPSP/Misc-APS/2016

To,
Shri S. K. Sinha,
Director General,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-110 001.
Subject: Regarding allotment of PS Group B officers (APS personnel) to
other circle.
Respected Sir,
IP/ASP Association
wishes to bring to your kind notice that in accordance with DG Circular No.4,
Army Postal Services is manned by 75% of staff recruited from the department of
Posts on deputation. The period of deputation varies from 18 months to so long
as services are required. These officials are recruited to APS from different
Postal Division of the Circle. Their career progression is either through
selection process/seniority basis or through competing in limited departmental
examination against notified posts by that particular Circle. It is worth
mentioning that IPs can seek transfer under Rule 38 of P&T Manual Vol IV
while transfer is not allowed in the cadre of ASP, as this would create
disparity in that circle.
Recently,
a trend has started where the official who were on deputation to APS from one
circle has submitted their willingness for allotment to other circle keeping in
view their personal interests and taking benefit of DG Circular 4, whereas the
intending Circle is neither their parent circle nor had they sought transfer
under Rule 38 while remaining in IP/ASP cadre. Directorate has escaped their
attention while allowing such allotments.
For
instance, two officers of PS Group B cadre (parent circle Himachal Pradesh)
were allotted to Punjab Circle without keeping in consideration that two PS
Group B cadre officials of Punjab Circle already working in Haryana Circle are
awaiting their repatriation to Punjab Circle. This has also adversely affected
the interest of IP/ASPs of Punjab Circle, who are in line of consideration of
promotion in near future.
This Association
earnestly request your good office to examine and review the provisions of DG
Circular 4 so that no one can be adversely affected for the sake of others.
Hoping for positive action and line in reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
