Following is the letter to directorate on DPC and repatriation issue. If any change is required. Please comment.
Postal Officers Association many-a-times brought to the
notice of Directorate about non convening of timely DPCs in JTS and non posting of STS officers against
vacant post in circles years together placing burden on officers holding joint charge without substantial benefits
that too in contravention to DoP&T instructions. In Circles where joint charge is not agreed,
PS Gr. B officers are officiating against these posts creating resultant
vacancies in Gr. B varying from Circle to Circle and imbalance thereof up-to lowest
rung affecting timely promotion in each cadre and repatriation of deserving PS
Gr. B officers to their home circle. So much so process of the DPC for the
promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B cadre for 2018-19 has not commenced till now
and regular DPC for the year 2017-18 is also overdue.
Many-a-times, adverse position occurs where the
approved persons of a particular circle are made to work outside their parent
circle, while there exists resultant vacancies in their own parent circle due
to officiating of number of incumbents on Group A posts for longer duration.
This is also creating legal complication when punishment orders passed by
officiating officers are challenged in the court of law seeking relief of legal
provision of not passing orders by competent authority.
Now directorate has made promotions to the cadre of
Postal Services Group “B” under 19% and 6% promotion quota by calculating
vacancies from the total strength of Group B for Recruitment Years 2012-13 to
2016-17 creating confusion of seniority etc. within cadre upsetting the already
settled position under each quota i.e. 649 posts for seniority cum fitness
promotional quota, 165 posts for promotion through LDCE quota and 52 posts earmarked
for general line officials. This will not only diminish the promotion chances
for a particular quota to JTS cadre but also create other legal complications
by silting all the vacancies towards LDCE quota. Now, you can well imagine the
plight of so called back bone of the department who were waiting for their due promotion
and now will have to suffer frustration even after retirement or for another
long period without any charm in the cadre particularly officers coming through
75% quota.
It is therefore once again requested to your kind
honour to pass orders to convene pending JTS DPC without further delay and
issue repatriation orders of PS Gr. B /JTS officers to their home circle
against resultant vacancies up to June-2018. The newly promoted PS Group B officers
may kindly be posted in their parent circle if still vacancies exists otherwise
they may kindly be adjusted in neighbouring Circles.

Issue of inter se seniority has not been discussed elobarately. If the newly passed group b officers posted in their home circle against all the available vacancies, what abt the fate of dpc promotees of 2017-18 (If the doc is convened immediately as per our above request). In my opinion we may restrict ourselves to the issue of jts dpc and fixation of inter se seniority of newly promoted (ldce )pss gp b officers.
Please send it to dte. as early as possible.
