You are aware that recently the Department introduced Postmaster Group B Service, by diverting 161 PSS Group B Post.
The proposal of the Department is as follows:
"Of the 116 posts of Sr.Postmaster Gazatted with grade Pay of Rs 4800, 75 % posts shall be filled up through limited Departmental competitive examination to be thrown to IPOs, LSG, HSG/II and HSG/1 official working in the post offices with 5 years of regular service in either or all the cadres together and remaining 25% posts shall be filled up by promotion of postmaster Grade III i.e. HSG/1 with 5 years of regular service"
Other changes:
1. Postmaster Grade I (LSG) shall be filled up 100 % among PAs with 5 years of service
2. Postmaster Grade II (HSG/II) shall be filled up 100% from PM Grade I (LSG) with 3 years of service.
3. Postmaster Grade III (HSG/I) shall be filled up 100% from PM Grade II (HSG/II) with 3 years of service.
4. Postmaster (Gazetted) shall be filled up75 % from IPO, LSG, HSG/2, and HSG/1 WORKING IN POST OFFICES with 5 years of service.

As per para 4 above, the promotional prospects of IP/ASP will be further diminished. The really lucky ones are those who got through the LSG fast track exam in the first batch.
You are right, Mr.Hariharan.

Just imagine the transfer liability of the Gazetted Postmaster cadre. In smaller circles the officers may not be able to work even once in own circle in the entire career. Postmaster's job in a big HO/GPO is also a very difficult task. Stakes are not compensated by the meagre gain in the salary.
What problem is there in the present system ?
