Respected Sir,
IP/ASP
Association would like to sincerely thank you for calling members of the
association to discuss pending issues, sparing your precious time. Association also
feels obliged for the opportunity your honour provided us that we were seeking
for a long time. Brief note of pending issues that will form part of meeting
are as follow:
1. Recasting of marks and revised
result of LDCE for the promotion to the PS Gr. B for the year 2012.
LDCE for
the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the year 2012 was held on 3/6/2013.
The result of the said examination was declared under No. A.34013/03/2012-DE
dated 17th July 2012 for 21 posts (15 from IP Line and 6 from
General Line). Due to some technical problem, revised result was declared on 19th
July 2012. Department has displayed answer keys of question papers on India
Post web site. In response to the notification issued under No. A.34012/03/2012-DE
dated 13th August 2013, lots of representations were said to be
received with different feed backs on keys displayed on departmental web site. The
corrigendum for deletion of keys was published on 22nd August 2012. Department
vide memo No. A.34012/03/2012-DE dated 13/8/2013 has intimated that series of
representations were received in the Directorate from the participants alleging
incorrectness / adoption of in appropriate keys for certain questions in
Paper-I and II of PS Gr. B examination 2012 and decided for issue of a revised
/ recast result. The representations
received up to 31/7/2013 were said to be carefully examined and ordered for
deletion / drop 12 questions from Paper-I and 4 questions from Paper-II. Directorate
has already deleted one question at time of initial evaluation itself. This Association requested to issue the
revised result of LDCE for the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the year
2012 held on 3/6/2013 without loss of time and also issue notification for the LDCE
for the year 2013 along with the details of vacancies to avoid litigations if
any in future.
2. Issue of seniority list of
Inspector Posts cadre.
The
combined All India Seniority List of Inspectors of Posts from the year 1999
onwards was not prepared, released and also not placed on India Post
website. This issue was importunately
pushed by this Association since last several years but to no action. This
issue was discussed with Hon’ble Secretary (P) on 6/2/2013 and it was assured
in the meeting that the seniority list would be made available at the earliest.
Directorate vide memo No. 9-9/2011-SPG dated 20th February 2013 has
circulated draft seniority list of Inspector Posts for the year 1998, 1999 and
2000 to all circles for rectification of mistakes if any but after lapse of
considerable period the final outcome is still awaited. Also direct SPG
Division to start the preparation of seniority list of remaining years.
3. Inter Circle Rule 38 transfer
cases of Inspector Posts.
The
Directorate vide letter No. A.34013/01/2009-DE/SPB-II dated 5.2.2010 issued
guidelines providing for transfer of lady Inspectors of Posts against Direct
Recruit / Departmental examination vacancy based on her selection in the
respective examination and there after detailed guidelines for
Inter-Circle-transfer of Inspectors of Posts under Rule 38 of P&T Manual
Vol. IV were issued under No. 141-177/2009-SPB-II dated 14th
December 2010. In the said guidelines it is mentioned that the CPMsG of the
Circle where the Inspectors of Posts are working would be competent to permit
such transfer in consultation with the CPMG of the Circle where the transfer is
sought for by the individual. Further, it is also mentioned that the CPMsG
should take a considerable view in consultation with their counterpart while
considering the request of Inspectors of Posts candidates for transfer to their
Home / nearby Circle under Rule 38. Department has further issued instructions
to all Heads of Circles under Directorate memo No. 141-114/2012-SPB.II dated 7th
May 2012 regarding disposal of the representation for transfer of the circle
cadre officials. This Association has pointed out time to time details of several
pending cases at various circles to Directorate and requested to reiterate the
instructions to all Heads of Circles to consider the Inter-Circle –transfer
cases of Inspectors of Posts on the basis of above instructions, but very few
Circles have positively responded. The scheme of allotment of surplus qualified
candidates has already been quashed out by Directorate in 2010. It is therefore
requested to issue instructions once again to all Heads of Circles to consider
all pending Inter-Circle transfer cases under Rule 38 of Inspectors of Posts
immediately against the vacant posts or on deputation basis in case of
non-availability of vacancies.
4. Merger of Assistant Superintendents Posts
Cadre to PS Gr. B cadre.

Association have already submitted a detailed proposal on merger of ASP cadre
to PS Gr. B cadre to Hon’ble Secretary (Posts) and as well as to Hon’ble Member
(P) under letter No. GS/ AIAIASP / Merger-ASP/2013 dated 20/11/2013. However,
copy of the same is enclosed herewith.

regards,
