SIR,

IP/ASP ASSOCIATION VIDE THEIR LETTER DATED 17.04.14 ADDRESSED DG(POSTS) TO REDUCE GENERAL LINE QUOTA FOR GROUP-B FROM EXISTING 6% TO 3% IN VIEW OF INTRODUCTION OF SENIOR POST MASTER CADRE.

THIS WILL HAMPER GENERAL LINE OFFICIALS PROMOTION CHANCES.  AS OF NOW, A POSTAL ASSISTANT WILL GET RETIRED AS PA ONLY WITHOUT ANY PROMOTION EXCEPT LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I, THAT TOO, AFTER COMPLETION OF 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. WHERE AS IP TO ASP TO SP TO SSP IS GETTING DUE PROMOTIONS WITHIN 15 TO 20 YEARS PROMPTLY, CONTRARY GENERAL SIDE OFFICIALS ARE GETTING PROMOTIONS WITH MUCH DELAY AFTER SEVERAL APPEALS MADE BY UNIONS/ASSOCIATIONS.

ON OTHER SIDE, THEY ARE OPPOSING TO LOOSE HSG-I(IP LINE) POSTS WHICH HAVE TO BE OPERATED BY GENERAL LINE OFFICIALS ONLY.

PLEASE NECESSARY PRESSURE MAY PLEASE BE MADE ON DIRECTORATE AND NOT TO FINALISE REVISED RECRUITMENT RULES IN FAVOUR OF IP/ASP ASSOCIATION BY REDUCING GENERAL LINE OFFICIALS QUOTA FROM 6% TO 3%.

IN THE PRESENT CBS ENVIRONMENT, THERE WILL BE HUGE RESPONSIBILITIES ON GENERAL LINE OFFICIALS.  HENCE IT IS ALSO REQUESTED TO BRING 87 SR. POST MASTER CADRE POSTS TO POST MASTER CADRE OFFICIALS UNDER EXAMINATION QUOTA. SO THAT 6%(53) PSS GROUP-B POSTS WILL COME TO LSG/HSG-II/HSG-I OFFICIALS I.E GENERAL LINE AND 13%(116) WILL COME TO POST MASTER CADRE OFFICIALS.  THIS WILL PAVE FAIR PROMOTIONAL CHANCES WILL BE GIVEN TO GENERAL LINE AS WELL AS IP LINE OFFICIALS.

THIS WILL BOOST UP PROMOTIONAL CHANCES TO OPERATIVE SIDE OFFICIALS AND THERE WILL BE MORE SCOPE TO ENTER OFFICIALS INTO GROUP-B CADRE WHO HAVE 20 TO 25 YEARS OF WORKING EXPERIENCE.

IF WE NOT TAKE UP THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL BLAME US.
