No. CHQ/POA/1-63/2018-19
Dated 22.04.2019
Subject: Regarding
revised guidelines on allotment / re-allotment of Postal Services Group “B”
officers from one circle/unit to other circle/unit.
Respected Sir,
Postal
Officers Association intends to bring to your kind notice that there is
promotional hierarchical imbalance at different level of IP to Group B and JTS
Group A due to miscalculation of vacancies while convening DPC and keeping extra
share against prescribed 25% quota of LDCE. As a result department is facing
court cases taking abnormal time in promotions and resultantly resorting to the
officiating arrangements time and again or handing over dual changes of
divisions to the suffering of cadre that further leads to deteriorating of
postal services in some circle.
In
order to avoid such an effect and the best way for improving the efficiency of
a given task, the association has suggested many ways including demand for
withdrawal of revised guidelines on allotment/ re-allotment of Postal Service
Group ‘B’ officers and to execute transfer/allotment/re-allotment policy
already in vogue but
this has not been taken into consideration by the directorate.
The
association can understand that new transfer policy might have framed keeping
in view the filling up the gap of Group B post against 25% Limited Departmental
competitive Examination quota over and above the cadre sanctioned strength who
are otherwise also having long service to go. But this is also fact that on the
other hand there are senior and much experienced officers when allotted to
other Circles after waiting promotion for 25-26 years of IP service having
family liability and no charm of promotion are the suffers.
It is therefore
requested to your kind honour to help the members of this association to do
away with the new guideline and to follow transfer/allotment/re-allotment
policy already in vogue in the department. The existing policy also conforms to
the guideline issued by DOP&T from time to time. The pending JTS and Group
“B” DPC may also be convened where old transfer policy may be implemented so
that uneven allotment may be avoided and right of officers are protected under
their given quota.
An immediate action is requested.
Yours sincerely,
(R N YADAV)

Dated 14-01-2019
Subject: Regarding revised guidelines on
allotment / re-allotment of Postal Services Group “B” officers from one
circle/unit to other circle/unit.
Ref. : Directorate letter
No. 9-23/2014-SPG dated 18-5-2018
Sir,
Your
kind attention is invited towards this association letter number even dated
27-5-2018 (Copy enclosed) wherein a request was made to your kind honour to
issue orders to revisit the revised guidelines issued by department on
allotment/ re-allotment of PS Group B officers to their parent circle. Sir You
will agree that for effecting rotation transfers of officials posted on
sensitive posts, Nodal Ministry had time and again advised to identify the
sensitive posts and staff working in these posts and also to ensure that they
are strictly rotated after every two/three years to avoid developing vested
interests.
2. Apparently
when there was already a defined set procedure of DOPT on transfer policy that
covers allotment/ re-allotment structure also there would not have any need for
fresh policy. Despite having clear cut policy, which is otherwise not observed
in many circles in present scenario so new policy has add much to the injury of
our members effecting their efficiency. Hence request you to have fresh look on
it.
3. It
is therefore again requested to your kind honour to pass orders to do away with
the new guideline and follow the transfer/allotment/re-allotment policy already
in vogue in the department. The existing policy also conforms to the guideline
issued by DOP&T from time to time. The pending JTS and Group “B” DPC may
also be convened early so that uneven allotment may be avoided and right of officers
are protected under their given quota even when working on adhoc basis. The
re-allotment of JTS officers / PS Group B officers working out of their circles
may kindly be considered for re-allotment to their parent circles as per
available vacancies.
An immediate action along with a
line of reply is requested.
Yours sincerely,
(R N YADAV)

Subject: Regarding revised guidelines on
allotment / re-allotment of Postal Services Group “B” officers from one
circle/unit to other circle/unit.
Ref. :
Directorate letter No. 9-23/2014-SPG dated 18-5-2018
Respected Sir,
Directorate has issued the above
referred letter revising guidelines on allotment/ re-allotment of Postal
Services Group B officers from one circle to other superseding its earlier
policies issued by the department from time to time. Sir, you will agree that
there is already a defined set procedure of DOP&T on transfer policy that
covers allotment/ re-allotment structure also. As such these guidelines are
nothing but overruling DOP&T policies creating hardship to our members
particularly promoted after rendering 25-26 years of service in IP cadre and
have family liabilities on their shoulders during last 5-6 years of service or
fag end of their service career. It is seen that new guidelines lay emphasis
to help executive structure their enterprise to create accountability for
results to which the association is also inclined. But at the same times
the POA association would like to say that DOPT guidelines on transfer policy
are not observed in many circles in present scenario and still these are
interpreted for adjustments without any transparency.
2. Moreover
consequent upon introduction of new business branches, the Department of Posts
is on the verge of conversion into a dynamic organization for which providing
good working environment to the staff and comfort to potential customers or
visitors is must. This all would be possible if the officer heading division is
familiar to culture, adjustable in that environment and free from health or
family problems. In addition, DOP&T circulars also lay down guidelines on
postings of spouse at the same station, and postings of disabled Government
servants/ parents of disabled children as such requiring no further revision if
the earlier policy is implemented in letter and spirit without any favouritism
by rotating officers as per given tenure.
3. Furthermore
instructions of Central Vigilance Commission on rotation of officers holding
sensitive post after every two/three years to avoid developing vested interests
can be scrupulously followed in the parent circle by rotating officer on non
sensitive seats in nearby division as per standard policy. As such framing
fresh guidelines ignoring positive aspects is neither in the interest of
department nor individual officer.
4. It
is therefore requested to your kind honour to pass orders to do away with the
new guideline and to follow transfer/allotment/re-allotment policy already in
vogue in the department. The existing policy also conforms to the guideline
issued by DOP&T from time to time. The pending JTS and Group “B” DPC may
also be convened early so that uneven allotment may be avoided and right of
officers are protected under their given quota.
An immediate action along with a
line of reply is requested.
Yours sincerely,
