This Association welcomes the step taken towards timely convening of DPC for promotion to ASP Cadre.

As per the guidelines issued vide Department of Posts (Personnel Division) Letter No.25-10/2014-SPG dated 09/07/2014 circulated vide Circle Office Letter No.ST/26-1/94(Rlg) dated 06-08-2014:-

(a)         System of eligibility cut-off date and calculation of vacancies will be financial year-wise from the year 2015-2016 onwards in accordance with ibid DOP&T OM No.22011/6/2013-Estt (D) dated 28-05-2014 for all the cadres in the Department and the eligibility cut-off date will be 1^st April.

(c)         The vacancies arising during the period from 1^st January to 31^st March, 2015 will be merged with the vacancies arising during the financial year 2015-16.

Further as per DOP & T guidelines, it is essential that the number of vacancies in respect of which a panel is to be prepared by a DPC should be estimated as accurately possible taking into account the existing and clear anticipated vacancies on account of retirement, promotion etc.

From the Circle Office letter dated 31-03-2015, the estimated vacancy appears to be taken as 4 (12 IPs taken into zone of consideration). In the instant case, the vacancy estimated appears to be incorrect. As per information of this Association the estimated vacancy in ASP Cadre in Odisha Circle for the 2015-16 will be as below:-

Minus ASPs promoted to PS Group-B Cadre and declined        :        --
