Please clarify and write your comments....

Hi my dear Postmasters,,,,,...

                 Did you read the LSG recruitment rules? In that recruitment rules, officials who are all completed 5 years service in the pay band 5200-2400-20200 is automatically eligible to promote as LSG SPM with pay band 5200-2800-20200 without any examination. If so What my question is, If after 5 years service, without examination we are eligible for 2800 grade pay, then what is the need of writing PM Grade I without any remuneration? Will cadre restructure committee and anomaly take this issue? Give vide publicity among our Postmaster cadre friends and union secretaries who are serving as Postmaster cadre now. 

Further comments and clarification regard this would be highly appreciated.

happy republic day wishes. Jai hind

Top Eight Mistakes while conversation and interview

1. Use language that is too informal It is important to remember that you are interviewing for a job, not trying to make a new best friend. Too much familiarity can hurt your chances by making you look unprofessional. 


2. The use of words that are vague Words such as "a lot," "various/multiple" and "great deal of" are vague and don't give the interviewer the needed information. 


3. Misuse of pronouns It can be very confusing and words can be misinterpreted when pronouns are misused. Be especially alert to this when you are using the pronouns "we," "I," and "you". 


4. Using company-specific words Each company has certain terms that are indigenous only to that company. Outsiders will not know what you are talking about if you use these terms. This is especially true if you have worked for a public organization or the military. You should use as many specific words as possible in your interview so that the hiring manager knows you are familiar with your industry.. 


5. Assuming everyone knows the acronym you are using Acronyms are used at every company -- shortcuts used internally to eliminate a lot of words. Avoid using these in a interview because the hiring manager may not be familiar with the acronyms used at your current company. 


6. Describing skills by using "weak" words Beware of small words that can sabotage your credibility -- words like "pretty," "most of the time," and "kind of,". 


7. Use of few words to answer the question One pet peeve many interviewers have is not getting enough information. When a candidate answers a question with one or two words, it's impossible to make a judgment as to whether this person is the right person for the job. 


8. Talking too much -- not getting to the point When you fail to prepare for the interview, you can easily ramble and go off the subject down some other road. A rule of thumb is, "Your answers should be no longer than two to three minutes long."

FAQ on RD Default Fee w.r.t SB Order no.31/2011 dated 13/12/2011

Thanks SDC chennai 
What is the default fee to be collected for deposits made after 15th in r/o RD accounts opened between 1st and 15th of the month?

            Till further notification and corrections in Sanchay Post software, default fee should be charged as per old procedure. So, default fee NEED NOT be collected for deposits made after 15th in r/o RD accounts opened between 1st and 15th of the month; deposits can be accepted without default fee throughout the month, irrespective of the date of opening of the account.

Central D.A. from January 2012 : 7% again.

With the availability of All-India Average Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers from July to November 2011, It is almost certain that Central workers are going to get another 7% D.A. from January 2012.

The Index No.s from July to November is given below for ready reference.

 193 194 197 198 199

If the Index No. is in between 192 and 204 for he month of December 2011[Data to be published by Labour Bureau on 31.01.2012], the Dearness Allowance will be same - 7%

So all probabilities keeping in mind it can be safely predicted that D.A. from January 2012 will be 65% of pay.
