Sub:- Exercising sub appointing powers by Post Master Grade-I & II
                               officials in Andhra Pradesh Circle – Reg.

Respected Sir,

            This is to bring to your kind notice that Post Master cadre was created in the year 2010 with great expectations by the Department.  After completion of 5 years of journey, it is proven that Post Master Cadre officials brought back glory of India Post to some extent and are trying to set-up industry standards in their offices.  One hand Divisional Heads are shouldering responsibilities on the Post Masters in the area of Business Development other hand some Divisional Heads are not allowing to exercise statutory powers granted by the Department for Post Master cadre officials only on a plea that there are no orders to that effect.

            The matter was taken up by members of this association individually with their Divisional Heads and no one received reply from respective Divisional Heads.  When Post Masters Association was in existence, two years back, this item was taken up in the informal four monthly meeting with Circle Office but no fruitful results came out.

            In this regard, I herewith enclose copies of reply given by the Circle Office and Directorate on RTI information sought on the same items for your perusal.  It is clear that Post Master Grade-I and Grade-II are competent to grant E.L. to MTS and Post Men working in their office and they can assess APAR of his sub-ordinate staff.  Further, Directorate also clarified that offices headed by Post Master Grade-I and Grade-II are should be treated as separate units. It is imperative to mention here that a Post Master can not run the office without administrative powers in the present scenario. 

            Therefore, I earnestly request your kind authority to issue suitable instructions to all concerned to implement the orders of Directorate uniformly in all the divisions of AP Circle in true spirit.

            A line in a reply is awaited.

With profound regards

                                                                                                   Yours sincerely, 

(DSK Prasad)
