No. CHQ/IPASP/PS Gr. B/2012    
 Dated :        3/5/2012.

To,
Ms.
 Manjula Prasher 
Director General, 
Department of Posts, 
Dak Bhavan, New Delhi 110 001. 
Subject   :  Limited Departmental
 Competitive Examination for promotion
 to the       cadre of PS Gr. B 2012.  
Ref.         :  Dte letter No. A-34012/3/2011-DE




 dated 10th April, 2012. 

Respected Madam, 
The department has issued orders vide No.
  A- 34012/6/2011-DE dated 10-4-2012
scheduling PS Group ‘B’ examination to be held 
 on 3rd June 2012 without notifying the number
 of vacancies and other pre-requisites for
 conducting exam to keep these orders under the
ambit of set rules. The department is also

 not acting as per recruitment rules framed

 and notified. Madam, you will agree that PS Group
 ‘B’ Recruitment Rules 1987 amended from time
 to time are still in force and without
 amendment of these rules, the Postmaster
 Recruitment Rules, 2010 can not come into force.
 It is understood that 116 posts earmarked for Sr.
 Postmaster are to be carved out from the total 866
 posts of PS Group ‘B’
 with no intention to create new post
to bring Postmaster Recruitment Rules,
 2010 in force without amending  PS Group
 ‘B’ Recruitment  Rules.
              This Association vide letter No. CHQ
 /PS Gr. B/2011 dated 04.07.2011 gave a
 detailed proposal regarding distribution of quota
 under each category
to the Department for consideration and
implementation in the interest of both IP Line
 and General Line officials but nothing has been
 done by the Department in this regard so far.
 Now, again the department has notified the 
examination
 without amending
Recruitment Rules that is not in the spirit of justice.
 In this, regard Dte. order No. 11-15/2007-SPG
dated 7-01-2009 issued consequent upon decision
 of OA No. 657/HP/2007 refers. The recently
announced OA No. 399/PB/2011 has orders
 to promote IPs under respective quota only.

            In view of above facts, both the
examination viz PS Group “B” and Sr. Postmaster
 should only be conducted as and when a vacancy
 arises under the respective quota after amendment
 of Recruitment Rules. The ASPs/ HSG-I IP line
Postmaster should also be allowed to appear in
 both examination for greater justice of the
cadre that is born on the same gradation list
 and IP that is the feeder cadre for further
promotion for all purposes and not ASP/HSG-I
 which is simply a non functional post.
It is therefore requested to kindly withdraw
 the notification issued to conduct the
 PS Group ‘’B” examination. 
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-

General Secretary

GRANT OF TA & TRANSIT (TA & TP) TO OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED ON COMPLETION OF TENURE TO THE PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE . A proposal on grant TA and transit to officials who are transferred on completion of tenure to the place of their choice was under consideration in this Directorate for sometime past.      SR-114 governs TA on transfer distinguishes between transfer for public convenience and transfer on own request.  Although transfer on completion of tenure in one office has not been specifically referred to in this rule, yet the transfer on completion of tenure is a transfer for public convenience.  On completion of tenure, the official has to be transferred out for operational reasons.  Therefore, such a transfer is mandatory, while posting to a place of choice is secondary and subject to public convenience.  In view of this posting to a place of choice after completion of full tenure may not be normally termed as a "transfer on own request" under SR-114.      It
