-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

        7. This association once again congratulating such consideration of the directorate to remove some barriers during transfer requests and in addition to such consideration this association suggestions may also kindly be incorporated with the new transfer policy of our esteemed department.

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.
