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 10^th 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 3^rd 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/-
