Subject: Regarding observations against proposed
Recruitment Rules of PS Group B cadre.
Reference: Directorate
no. 9-14/2010-SPG dated 30.05.2016 refers.
Respected Sir,
The
IPASP association has extensively studied the proposed recruitment rules and
members are in the state of deep disappointment. The proposed RRs are totally
disregard to the basic criteria and orders of Hon’ble CAT bench in OA no.399/PB/2011
dated 26.05.2011, wherein statement given by Director (Staff) at Bar that the
quota prescribed (75% for promotion under non-examination quota & 19% for
promotion under Examination Quota), qua which the prayer is relatable, shall
not be exceeded, was accepted. These are
full of discrimination to the IPASP waiting elevation to Group B for the last
24-25 years. Thus career progression of IP/ASP under non-examination quota
(75%) has been hit hard. New RRs have drastically reduced the number of posts
to 562 from 649 posts. Below Tabulation would show how already settled position
has disturbed the number in their respective quota in post based roaster.

Thus, there is overall loss of 87 posts to be
filled under seniority cum fitness quota in PS Gr ‘B’ while examination quota
gained 87 posts in Sr. Postmaster cadre. Whereas all the other cadres Gr C
& Gr A are benefitted in their respective cadre restructuring, at the same
time promotion avenues of IP/ASP (non-examination quota) are squeezed. As a
matter of justice 87 posts should not be carved out/reduced from Seniority quota.
RRs of Sr Postmaster Rules are amended to the extent that promotion (75%) to
Sr. Postmaster should also be through Seniority cum fitness to equalise the
equation under respective quota.
It
is hoped that proper measures to solve this matter and chalk out remedies for
our grievances will be taken before giving final nod to the proposed RRs.
This
Association hopes that an early action will be taken by the Department.
Yours
sincerely,
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
