Sub:     Convening of early regular DPC for promotion to JTS Group ‘A’

Respected Sir,

Kindly refer to this Association letter of even number dated 12/10/2017 wherein various after effects and injustice being meted out to our members due to non convening of timely DPC was brought to your kind notice but action is still pending. At the same time, it is fact that considerable numbers of vacancies in JTS Group ‘A’ under promotional quota are lying vacant and officers in line of consideration are retiring without getting the due benefit of promotion.

    

2.       Needless to say, that convening of timely DPCs and draw up panel taking into account chain vacancies is obligatory on the part of administration and legitimate right of the employees but last DPC was held on 17.12.2015 for 36 vacancies.  During December, 2015 itself nearly 8 officers were retired.  Thereafter no JTS DPC was conducted and the promotion list was not released for the past two years perhaps on the pretext of non-finalization of the reservation issue in promotion  consequent upon orders passed in  CP(C) no. 314/2016 and upheld in SLP (C) no. 4831/2012 in Samta Andolan Samiti versus Sanjay Kothari & Others.

3.       It is pertinent to mention here that reservation in promotion is purely a Govt. policy matter and the Hon’ble Supreme Court has not stayed the convening of DPC. It is other matter that DOPT, UPSC are throwing the wall on one another to the suffering and agony of employees. Further the delay in regular promotion (mercy grant) to those at verge of retirement would be the most sufferers for not convening of JTS Group ‘A’ DPC, having cascading effect to their pensionary benefits and retirement life without fault on their part. 

4.         In view of the above, it is again requested that early action may kindly be taken immediately to convene the DPC and put in place the same retrospectively to safeguard the legitimate right of the deserving employees.

With profound regards and New Year Greetings,

Yours Sincerely

Sub:     Request for convening already over delayed JTS DPC early to run the postal divisions smoothly.

 Respected Sir,  

   

Postal Officers Association would like to bring to your kind notice that DPCs for promotion to the cadre of JTS Gr. A for the year 2016-17 has not been declared so far for the reasons best known to administration. Resultantly, the officers in the line of consideration are being discriminated financially and are construing denial of fixation in seniority at a relevant place of the given vacancy years.

Moreover non-convening of timely DPCs in JTS cadre and non posting of STS Officers by issuing necessary orders on vacant post in circles years together is placing burden on PS Group B officers either of adhoc arrangement or working thereto on downgraded posts without substantial benefits that too in contravention to DoP&T instructions. Authorities empowered to make adhoc-promotion to Group B only up-to three months (Directorate Letter no. 4-9/88-SPG dated 14.10.1989) are exceeding their powers on their own without obtaining specific approval from DOP&T.

Furthermore, JTS DPC for 2017 is due for which process should have been commenced by now taking into consideration, any of the cascading effect on number of vacancies in respective quota (75%) for promote for the vacancy year 2016-17. As a matter of natural justice DPC for 2016-17 should have been as per old recruitment rules for which our quota was fixed @75%. Sir, our effected members on this issue are voicing against discrimination that is due to non insertion of twelve vacancies reduced as a result of 7^thcadre review of IPoS officers and further reduction of our share from 75% to 50% in the future recruitment.

As per extent instructions contained in Department of Personnel and Training  OM No. 22011/4/2013—Estt(D) , the  zone  of  consideration has  still to be wide  enough  to cater to  the needs of the Department / cadre authorities  for giving  an  extended panel  against empanelled  officers who have retired or will be retiring in the course of the vacancy year or who have refused promotion and are under debarment. Thus, there is a need for optimizing the size of zone of consideration. This should be taken care of so that officers at the fag end of their service may get the fruit of JTS promotion.

It is therefore earnestly requested to kindly look into the matter personally and issue directions to the respective section of Directorate to take action for completing the process of DPC for 2016-17 against 75% quota. Also kindly put in orders to start the process for convening DPC for the year 2017 taking into consideration all the vacant post of JTS/STS /JAG. Hopping for a just and positive action at the earliest.

With Warm Regards.
