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.

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 rules, but 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 7^th 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 7^th CPC report, Senior Postmaster Cadre recruitment rules are yet to be amended as per the recommendations of the honorable 7^th 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.

Query 1: During 31st Dec 2015, Postmaster Grade I and their PA batch mate might be in different grade pays viz., Rs.2800 and Rs.2400 respectively. Could bunching effect can be considered only if both government servants are in the same pay scale?

Reply : vide department of expenditure OM order no 1-6/2016-IC dated at New Delhi the 7^th September 2016 Para 1, it was mentioned that where in revision of pay, the pay of Government servants drawing pay at two or more stages in pre-revised pay band and Grade pay or scale as the case may be, get fixed at same cell in the applicable Level in the new Pay matrix one additional increment shall be given for every two stages of bunched.

IndiaToday.in  | New Delhi, March 21, 2017

All hope may not be lost for Central government employees who were expecting the government to make an announcement on higher allowances under the Seventh Pay Commission after the election season.

According to some media reports, the Committee on Allowances headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa may submit its report before the end of this month, giving a glimmer of hope to employees who can expect to get revised allowances from April.

The Committee on Allowances missed its earlier February 22 deadline for submitting its review report on the recommendations by the Seventh Pay Commission on allowances.

Respected sir,

Article - Will Postmaster Grade officers get the bunching effect???

Dear Postmasters,

   No one has touched this issue so this article is published to the awareness of the Postmaster cadre officials. This article may only be applicable to the PAs recruited during the years 2006, 2007, and then passed the Postmaster Grade I exam during any of the years 2011, 2012, 2013,2014. Those officials have got their financial benefits like one notional increment and grade pay difference Rs.400(Rs.2800-Rs.2400) by the virtue of the Postmaster Grade examination. It is not applicable to the officials already got the MACPs and then joined as Postmaster Grade I.

  Though Postmasters are 5 years senior in the Grade pay Rs.2800 pay scale service, after MACP 1 some junior PAs have got the same pay in the revised pay after 7th pay commission in the pay scale Rs.2800. In no way 5 years service of senior can be nullified and fixed with the same pay of 5 years junior in the Rs.2800 grade pay scale. 

  So Postmaster Grade I officers shall be eligible to get one or two bunching effects as per the Department of Expenditure OM no 1-6/2016-IC dated at New Delhi 7th September 2016. The above said OM insists the following that in cases where in a revision of pay, the pay of Government servants drawing pay at two or more stages in pre-revised pay Band and Grade Pay or scale, as the case may be, get fixed at same cell in the applicable level in the new Pay Matrix, one additional increment shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of Government servant drawing higher pay in the pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next vertical cell in the applicable level"

  The officials as per the conditions laid in the above para, shall be eligible to get one or two bunching effects as per the Department of Expenditure OM no 1-6/2016-IC dated at New Delhi 7th September 2016. But only condition is when compared in pre-revised pay(before 7th CPC) senior should have 3% more pay then junior to get one bunching.

Let me to explain further with illustrations.....
