No.     CHQ/POA/1-51/2017-18                                                   Dated 18.02.2019
Subject: Draft Seniority list of P.S.Group ‘B’ officers as on 1.04.2016 – reg.
Ref : Directorate memo No. 9-02/2019-SPG-II dated 24th January 2019
Respected Sir,
Postal officer Association expresses its sincere gratitude to the staff of SPB-II Division of Directorate for issue of draft seniority list of P.S.Group ‘B’ officers corrected up-to 1.04.2016. At the same time it is apprised that the seniority list is full of ambiguities that needs rectification by taking the following into consideration before issue of the final draft. 
Most of the members of this Association particularly senior officer promoted against seniority quota and on the verge of retirement has noticed that above seniority lists has not been prepared correctly as their interest and rights for promotion to JTS have been completely ignored. No care has been bestowed while fixing the seniority as per given quota in the available sanctioned strength of 866 posts in PS Group “B” cadre. As per already settled position, 649 Group ‘B’ posts against 75% quota have been earmarked for selection on the basis of seniority cum fitness, 165 posts against 19% quota for LDCE from IP line officials and 6% i.e. 52 posts through LDCE for General Line officials. For all these three quotas separate post based rosters have been prepared by the department clearly marking the total vacancy earmarked for each quota without any dispute. This fact has been completely ignored affecting the right of senior officers.
It is also brought to your kind notice that when 165 (IP line) + 52(General line) = 217 posts alone are reserved under the 19% and 6% quota for promotion through Limited Departmental Competitive Examination from a particular line how about 220 junior most officers promoted through LDCE can be adjusted in the so called new seniority list ignoring the right of officers promoted through seniority cum fitness. This is despite the fact that more than 100 officers promoted through LDCE of 25% quota roster are already finding place in the seniority list. Apparently post based roster has not been consulted while calculated vacancies and now the present seniority list will further mar the promotion of officers promoted through seniority cum fitness. This shows that there was something grossly wrong with the stand taken by the department to adjust such promote at the cost of seniors waiting their turn in JTS even after rendering 31 years of service in IP line.
Furthermore supplementary DPC for the left out 23 vacancies for the vacancy year 2011-12 was not convened that also disturb the seniority of officers promoted against 75% quota meant for seniority-cum-fitness promotions of the respective year. As such 23 IPs of 1988 batch should be placed above serial number 225 of seniority list.  Moreover name of some the officers selection of those was kept in sealed cover and now promoted in respective vacancy year is missing in the seniority list. Name of officers listed at serial number 228 to 240 needs to be discarded being double entry. In the remarks column, the method of selection whether it seniority cum fitness or LDCE or GL has not been mentioned to check the inter-se-seniority.
It is therefore requested to revise the seniority list by settling the above ambiguity so that no one feels discriminated.
The Association solicits your lawful support and action. 
         
Yours sincerely,


(R.N.Yadav)
