IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTORATE ORDER ON ONE TIME RELAXATION OF RRs IN R/O POST MASTER CADRE

DEAR POST MASTERS,

Directorate had issued instructions on 28.04.2016 that vacant Post Master Grade-II and Grade-III should be filled by applying one time relaxation in minimum qualifying service on certain grounds. The order could not be implemented in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Circles due to various administrative reasons not know to the association. Even after lapse of 8 months, there is no progress on this issue though our Circle Secretaries addressed Circle Office through letters and in personal. Every time we are getting reply from Circle Administration that "Matter will be settled within fortnight" so far we have crossed 16 fortnights still our issue is under process!!!!!!! We have suffered unsustainable financial loss in VII CPC for not conducting DPC in the month of May or June-2016. 

On other side, some postal circles have conducted DPCs and issued orders to fill up vacant posts either on promotion or ad-hoc basis. We have to face seniority anamoly in future with Post Masters of other postal circles as they have already joined as Post Master Gr.II and will get Grade-III Post Master after completion of 5 years regular service. But we will get Gr.II and Gr.III promotions late due to inordinate delay. Due to this our post master will have to face serious consequences in promotion of Senior Post Master Cadre in future.

Let us hope that circle administration will not raise the occasion to remind on this issue by our Association. Already our young Post Masters have demotivated due to this inordinate delay.
