Subject: Merger of Assistant Manager, MMS with Inspector Posts and Deputy Manager, MMS with Assistant Superintendent of Posts.
Madam/Sir,
This is regarding Cadre restructuring of Mail Motor Service Cadre. It has been found that existing Recruitment Rules for Assistant Manager provides Traffic Supervisor and Inspector & Head Clerk as feeder cadre. However, Traffic Supervisor was re-designated as Inspector Posts, MMS. Thereafter, cadre of Assistant Manager, MMS and Inspector MMS (which includes Head Clerk) have been merged into a single cadre, i.e. Assistant Manager, MMS.
- Similarly, Inspector and Head Clerk of MMS with 8 years regular service, including service rendered as Assistant Manager are eligible for promotion to the cadre of Deputy Manager in MMS. Now, in absence of feeder grade officials, the posts of Assistant Manager and Deputy Manager, MMS could not be filled, which is adversely impacting the day to day operation of MMS units.
- The issue has been examined at this Directorate and with the approval of competent authority, it has been decided to merge the cadre of Assistant Manager, MMS with Inspector Posts and Deputy Manager, MMS with Assistant Superintendent of Posts with immediate effect.
- The sanctioned strength of Assistant Manager, MMS is 41 and the sanctioned strength of Deputy Manager, MMS is 04, as per Annexure-D of Directorate letter no. Q-25/33/2022-PE-I-DOP dated 11.08.2022. The revised sanctioned strength of Inspector Posts has been issued recently vide Directorate letter no. 25-36/2017-PE-I (Vol.III) dated 29th March, 2023 after creation of 60 new posts.
- Now, the revised sanctioned strength of Inspector Posts after merger of vacant posts of Assistant Manager, MMS is attached at Annexure-A.
- The detailed modalities for merger of Assistant Manager, MMS with Inspector Posts and Deputy Manager, MMS with Assistant Superintendent of Posts, formulated in consultation with Personnel Division (SPN-II) of this Directorate, are attached as Annexure-B and Annexure-C respectively.
Yours faithfully,
