CS writes to CPMG on regular promotion to ASP Cadre

No. AIAIPASP/Corr-1/18/2015

To
Shri Tilak De, IPoS
Chief Postmaster General
          Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar-751001

Sub:- Regular promotion to ASP Cadre-regarding. 

Respected Sir,

A kind reference is invited to this Association letter No.AIAIPASP/Corr-1/13/2015 dated 24/08/2015 and its enclosures.

It is to reiterate that as per para-3 of the Department of Posts (Personnel Division) letter No.25-10/2014-SPG dated 09/07/2014 which has referred to para-7 of DOP & T OM No.22011/9/98-Estt (D) dated 08-09-1998 wherein it is provided that a DPC for a grade may take into account all clear expected vacancies by retirement in the concerned grade as well as chain vacancies on account of retirement etc. in the higher grades which can be clearly anticipated in the same vacancy year.

Further, as referred in para-3 of the Department of Posts (Personnel Division) letter dated 09/07/2014 to DOP & T OM No.22011/9/98-Estt (D) dated 06-10-1999 wherein it is clarified in consultation with the UPSC that chain vacancies on account of retirement etc. in the higher grades in a vacancy (panel) year shall include the vacancies which can be clearly anticipated as likely to become available in the concerned grade by promotion of officers of the Service to higher grades during that vacancy (panel) year.

Department of Posts vide Personnel Division letter dated 09/07/2014 has issued instructions to percolate the seniority quota vacancies arising in higher grades in a vacancy year down to lower cadres/grades and to take into account along with the clear vacancies arising in a particular grade. Further, as clarified vide Para.4.(II)  of the said letter a Circle will take into account the vacancies arising from HAG to PS Group-B Cadre in that Circle in a vacancy year as chain vacancies for lower cadres in addition to existing  and anticipated vacancies in the said lower cadre arising in that vacancy year.


As per the DOP & T guidelines issued from time-to-time, the approved select panel is to be kept ready and to be utilized as and when the vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy year to ensure timely promotion of the employees. But, it is learnt that the anticipated vacancies on account of “promotion” and “chain vacancies” has not been submitted to the DPCs for the vacancy year 2015-16 for promotion to ASP Cadre.

Now there are already 5 (five) vacancies in ASP cadre due to promotion. There will be more vacancies in near future on relief of Inspector Line officials already promoted to Postal Service Group-B for the year 2015-16.

You are aware that 7th Central Pay is to be implemented from 01-01-2016 and rendering of at least six months service in a particular pay as on 1st July is the criteria for earning increment. Inspector Posts waiting in the line for their promotion to ASP Cadre on regular basis are likely to be benefited in their Pay if their promotion can be effected in the month of December-2015.

Since the anticipated vacancies on account of “promotion” and “chain vacancies” has not been taken into consideration in earlier DPCs, I request your good self to convene a supplementary DPC for promotion to ASP Cadre for the vacancy year 2015-16.

With deep regards,
Yours sincerely,
