PM Grade II willingness second list !!!

Dear promotion due Postmaster Grade I officers of Tamilnadu Circle....

   Please submit willingness/unwilling immediately to speed up the process. During first list also, some divisions not compiled the willingness list, resulting unnecessary delay in PM Grade II postings. Previously it was 21 posts vacant and now because of PM Grade III promotion orders, PM Grade II vacancies are arose to 30 approximately.

    So AIAPS suggests to give willingness to the first 30 members as per the reservation list. For remaining persons, giving willingness/unwilling is purely their choice.

    All the best.

AIAPS - Journey of success towards debarred promotion case at Tamilnadu circle!!!

Dear Postmasters of Tamilnadu Circle,

       We are very happy to inform you all that, the case of promotion debarment by mentioning the censure and completed punishments is now settled. Because mentioning such censure, and completed punishments, senior officials were unable to get their due promotion for almost three years!!!

         We would like to convey our sincere thanks to the honorable CPMG sir, respected DPS(HQ), staff branch and entire circle administration to taste victory in the 3 years pending issue.

       Towards this victory, we have almost crossed all the barriers and the following are the important dates and attempts to achieve such huge task.

1. From 2014, Many officials promotion were held up by mentioning  completed punishments and even censure.
2. Because of that even after served 10 years in Postmaster Grade I and II cadre (including LSG line service) many officials were unable to get their due promotions.
3. All the aggrieved officials had represented against that and to most of them, administration had replied that their service was not satisfactory.
4. AIAPS had taken that subject as a prime subject of our cadre for the welfare of our PM cadre seniors and submitted a letter on 30.08.2016.
5. We had visited again to the circle office on 26.09.2016 and requested to promote the debarred officials as per the norms. 
6. But we had received reply that to just distinguish the good workers and punished workers, their promotions were held up. 
7. For that we had discussed elaborately that Postmaster cadre is highly responsible cadre and most of the punishments were not directly indulged by the concerned Postmasters. More over we have conveyed that, who ever and what ever the mistakes done in Postmasters unit, it was directly affecting the Postmasters. Administration and staff side had discussed the rulings regarding that case and explained the staff side part very elaborately on 26.09.2016 and mentioned the circle office 2015 order also which mandated to promote the officials who were awarded with censure and other completed punishments.
8. Administration is assured to settle the case positively on that day.
9. Again on 23.11.2016 AIAPS-team paid a visit to the circle office, reminded and requested about the pending debarment case to the administration.
10. On 19.12.2016, we have represented the letter with detailed officials list, whose promotions were held up.
11. Again on 02.01.2017 AIAPS-team had paid a courtesy visit to the circle office again and requested about the pending debarment issue to the CPMG sir and pressed further because of the monitory loss to our PM cadre members.
12. Because of the continuous efforts made by the AIAPS-TN team and the circle administration's regards on our AIAPS association genuine demands, on 11.04.2017 now debarred officials, promotion order was also released by the circle administration.
13. We are once again much privileged to thank the circle administration towards the responses to our requests and within 8 months of time we had brought the promotion to the debarred officials. We made full stop to the prolonged 3 years waiting of the some senior officials.
14. Promotion order is shared below for the esteemed members knowledge. Some of the debarred officials also got their due promotions.
15. Thanks for the support dear Postmasters

Subject: Review of ‘Transfer Policy’ – invitation of suggestion/comments from staff associations – reg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reference: Directorate letter no F.No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg the 28th March 2017.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respected sir,
       
        1. Kindly refer the above directorate reference, this association was required to provide suggestions/comments for the existing transfer policy of our department circulated vide directorate No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhawan the 31st January 2014.

        2. It is very glad to see such initiatives from our department to relax the transfer policy guidelines and as well as seeking the service association suggestions also before making such amendments in the above said transfer policy.

3. For that this association would like to suggest the following amendments for the peaceful career of our prestigious department’s officials.
  Table:
Sl. No
Existing policy provisions
Existing policy
Department suggestion
Service association suggestion / comments
1
Para 2.I.(v)
Transfers may be permitted only to the declared vacancies. OC candidate with OC candidate  and SC with SC candidate
Nil.
Rule 38 Mutual/One way transfers may kindly be allowed to apply within any category OC/OBC/SC/ST candidates and as well as promote and direct recruits. Such existing restriction may kindly be removed and there would be no harm   or legal issues if those category vacancies are adjusted in concerned transferred division’s establishment, as per the category of transferred officials.
2
Para 2.I.(vi)
Not allowing transfers from one cadre to another cadre
Nil
Since many PAs are deputed as OAs at circle office/regional office, PA to OA at Regional office/Circle office vice versa transfers may kindly be allowed while recruitment timings. PA to SBCO/RMS transfers vice versa may also kindly be allowed after attending such SBCO/RMS trainings at PTC at transferring official’s own cost and after 5 years’ service in parental cadre.
3
2.I.(vii)
Mandating minimum service/probation period completion for applying one way/mutual transfers
Directorate considered to remove such provision to apply transfers without any prescribed service/probationary period.
This association hearty welcome and   appreciate department’s such consideration. Officials may kindly be allowed to apply for transfer without such service/probationary period and after such transfers, those officials probationary period may kindly be completed at any division as per their APARs.
4
2.I.(viii)
Mandating the directorate’s approval for inter-circle transfers
Directorate considered to amend such provision to approve inter-circle transfers by concerned CPMGs itself.
This association hearty welcome and   appreciate department’s such suggestion. It may speed-up the inter-circle transfer requests.
5
2.I(ix)
Mandatory of maintaining the manual register to record such transfer requests.
Nil
This association came to know that because of manual registers, many senior officials are not communicated regarding their transfer request seniority and sometimes, to favor some officials, junior transfer requests were considered early by bypassing the seniority. So this association firmly requests to publish/update the transfer request seniority list every month in concerned circle office website after consolidating divisional/regional wise transfer requests.  In CSI online module, one link may kindly be added to convey official’s mutual transfer willing places and to following one way transfer seniority too.
6
2.I(x)
Transfers can be allowed only twice during his entire service
Directorate considered to deletion of such provision to allow the transfer requests without any limitations.
This association hearty welcome and   appreciate department’s such suggestion.

7
2.II (i to ix)
Inspector cadre officials
Nil
This association request to extend all such above directorate’s considerations / amendments along with this service association requests to the Inspector cadre officials also for their peaceful service in their IP/ASP career.
8
4.4
Circle cadreslike LSG/PM cadre line transfer requests must be finalized and conveyed to the regional PMGs by 15th of March every year to consider such transfer request during next F.Y rotational transfer
Nil
Such circle cadres like PM cadre/LSG officers, transfer requests are not considered at many circles during the next F.Y rotational transfers.
So this association request to publish such transfers also circle office-official website and circles may kindly be instructed to to effect such LSG/PM cadre official’s transfer requests during the next F.Y rotational transfers without fail.
9
5
Posting/ Transfer of women employees
Nil
In addition to amenities, as per the spouse working station, women employees transfer requests may kindly be considered on priority basis.

        4. All other entries are hold good in the existing transfer policy.

5. This association once again request to publish the Rule 38 one way - transfer seniority in the concerned circle office - official website. For Rule 38 - Mutual transfer, willing places of various employees may kindly be recorded in an official public domain to know by other officials. Both make the transfer process ease and transparency. Circle cadres like Postmaster cadre/LSG line officer’s transfer requests may kindly be considered during the next R.T as per the existing provisions without fail.

        6. Physically challenged persons and as well as Spouse category (irrespective of the same department) transfer requests may kindly be considered on priority basis and sympathetically to the welfare of the family and children.

Respected sir,

        A kind reference is invited to the above reference (attached with this letter for quick reference) and vide above reference 1 of postal directorate, Postmaster Grade I exam (centralized exam category) was scheduled on 19.07.2015 and unfortunately that exam was not conducted by the Postal directorate and some other centralized exams are conducted.

        Vide above reference 2 of the Postal Directorate, it was mentioned that all the schedule for centralized LDC exams would be issued after the engagement of the new agency. That time too some other centralized category LDC exams were conducted except Postmaster cadre.

        Now Vide reference 3 of the Postal directorate once again mentioned that PM Grade I LDC exams for the backlog years 2015, 2016, 2017 would be conducted after the engagement of new outsourced agency.

AIAPS had submitted a reply letter regarding the department clarification regarding non filling up of senior postmaster posts

Respected sir,

        A kind invitation is requested to refer the above references and vide reference 1 of the Postal directorate it was mentioned that the cadre of Sr. Postmaster along with Postmaster Grade III, II, I was proposed to be created as a separate cadre by carving out existing postal services group B cadre along with HSG-II, HSG-I and LSG cadre. The PS Group B cadre has not undergone any changes so far and the strength of this cadre still continues to be 866. The carving out will be finalized only once the Recruitment rules of the PS Group ‘B’ cadre are revised and notified.

        But it was really a heart breaking reply from the directorate that after the prolonged 6 years from the senior Postmaster posts recruitment rules creation, now Senior Post master posts filling up is linked with the PS Group ‘B’ recruitment rules amendment pending.

        If so be the case of PS Group B recruitment rules amendment process, how could Postal Directorate be conducted the PS Group ‘B’ LDC exams every year upto 2016 without finalizing the PS group B recruitment rulesbut for the already finalized the Sr. Postmaster cadre recruitment rules, Sr. Postmaster posts filling up was not initiated by linked with PS Group ‘B’ recruitment rules pending amendment.

AIAPS had submitted a letter to the directorate to request to implement the 7th CPC - honorable Chairman Recommendation by amending the Senior Postmaster cadre recruitment rules– reg

Respected sir,

    1. A kind reference is invited to the above references for the above mentioned subject, from the creation of Postmaster cadre, nothing was given to boost the Promising Postmaster cadre officers and they are left with empty hands till now. Fortunately honorable justice Shri.A.K.Mathur Chairman of the 7th CPC honored one of the genuine demands of the Postmaster cadre and recommended to permit the Postmaster Grade II/III officials to appear in the Senior Postmaster LDC exam 75% quota. But Even after the lapses of one and half years from the 7th CPC report, Senior Postmaster Cadre recruitment rules are yet to be amended as per the recommendations of the honorable 7th CPC chairman. Because of that this association is receiving so many grievances from our staff side and to redress the same this association would like to bring the following few facts for your benign consideration and earliest amendment of recruitment rules please.
