Issues of Postmaster Cadre officials
It is happened while calling for volunteers for various grades of Postmaster cadre, it was assured to the applicants vide Para 4, 5, 6 of the Directorate letter No. DG (P) No. 4-17/2008-SPB II dated 07.02.2011 that the same years as minimum qualifying service will be adhered for the promotions of Postmaster Grade-I to Postmaster Grade-II and Postmaster Grade-III as in the cases of LSG to HSG II and HSG II to HSG I, many senior HSG II officials opted for PM Grade II are now by passed by junior HSG II officials remained in the General line by getting HSG I on completion of 3 years of qualifying service.
As assured while the initial constitution of Postmaster Grade by the Directorate to maintain same qualifying service, all the Postmaster Grade II officials having 3 years of service in HSG II& Postmaster Grade-II combinedly may be promoted to Postmaster Grade-III by taking in to account of anomaly caused to Postmaster Grade-II officials. Since there is clear cut going back from the instructions and assurances, the volunteers opted for Postmaster Grade on the basis of the said assurances may be allowed to switch over to General Line. There is a provision in the extant instruction on returning back the Postmaster cadre official to General line if they are not fulfilling the requisite standards during their probation. As the Postmaster Grade officials are much frustrated of their future career profile are not commensurated with their responsibilities, most of the  Postmaster Grade-I and Grade II officials are ready to switch over to General line at least to work in Head offices as supervisors and to fit in PS Group ‘B’ examination.
