Subject : Revision/Amendment in Recruitment Rules for the post of Postal Service Group B- regarding
Ref. : Directorate Memo No. 9-14/2010-SPG dated 30.05.2015
Respected Sir,
IP/ASP Association intend to bring to your kind notice that a draft copy of revised RRs of Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre was published on Department’s website vide above referred memo inviting comments/observations from stakeholders within a period of 30 days. In response, the association has submitted its observations stating material facts therein for consideration with a sanguine hope that grievances of IP/ASP would be redressed before make revised RRs operative.
It was highlighted that these RRs would lead to overall loss of 87 posts to be filled under seniority cum fitness quota in PS Gr ‘B’ while examination quota would apparently gained 87 posts that too in Sr. Postmaster cadre as per the following matrix.
(A) PS Gr ‘B’ Recruitment Rules, 1993 [Pre-revised]

It was also submitted that revised RRs would be contemptuous to orders passed by Hon’ble CAT Bench Chandigarh in OA No. 399/PB/2011 dated 26.05.2011, wherein statement given by the Director (Staff) at Bar that the quota prescribed (75% for promotion under non-examination quota & 19% for promotion under Examination Quota), qua which the prayer is relatable, shall not be exceeded, was accepted.
Sir, these revised RRs have drastically reduced the number of posts to 562 from 649 posts in the cadre, thereby squeezing the promotional avenues of IP/ASP (non-examination quota).
It is pointed out that even after lapse of more than 4 months period no steps were found taken for finalization and circulation of revised RRs of Postal Service Group ‘B cadre. Pending finalization of these RRs, General line people have gained in terms of extracting more vacancies in PS Group B (LDCE) that too @ 6% instead of 3%. General line people have share of 29 posts in Sr Postmaster cadre and 23 posts in PS Group B cadre. Notification for conduct of PS Group B exam dated 07.10.2016 for the vacancy year 2012-13 onwards would stand testimony to the fact that General Line (GL) people are being offered altogether 25 vacancies against quota of 23 posts in PS Group B cadre while many of General Line vacancies are already filled up from general line category through LDCE only and out of these, few are still working in PS Gr. B cadre.
In view of submissions made here in above, it is earnestly requested to kindly look into this vital issue personally so as this may not get complicated further. It is humbly prayed to arrange to release the revised Recruitment Rules of Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre immediately.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
