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.

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 ?
