Issue of revised Recruitment Rules of PS Gr. B cadre ....... updates!!!

All are well aware that Department has created Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 4-17/2008-SPB.II dated 22/11/2010, and 116 PS Gr. B Posts were carved out for Senior Postmaster Cadre and framed RRs for Senior Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 137-03/2009-SPB.II dated 9/9/2010.  Since last two years GS is pursing the issue of revised Recruitment Rules of PS Gr. B cadre with Directorate to correct the anomaly of fixation of quota for PS Gr. B from IP Line Officials and General Line Officials by providing 97% vacancies to PS Gr. B from IP Line and 3% by promotion of HSG-I officials from General Line through a LDCE. But till this date neither Recruitment Rules of PS Gr. B cadre revised nor share of General Line officials reduced from PS Gr. B examination. To reduce the quota of General Line officials from LDCE for the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B, GS is always in touch with Directorate and now he was told that  Directorate has submitted draft copy of revised Recruitment Rules of PS Gr.B for approval to DoPT.
