All Chief Postmasters General/Postmasters General.
Subject: Cadre Restructuring of Group ‘C’ employees in Department of Posts — Clarification — reg.
Sir/Madam,
Kindly refer to this office letter of even number dated 05.12.2018 (copy enclosed), on the subject mentioned above, vide which it was clarified that “LSG, HSG-II, HSG-I and HSG-I (NFG) posts will be deemed to have been upgraded to these grades only w.e.f: the dates they are filled up, i.e. from the date the promoted official assumes the charge. Otherwise, the post will remain in the lower grade”.
- However, it has come to the notice of the Directorate that the Circles have created all the posts, allocated to them vide letters of even number dated 27.05.2016/10.11.2017, in one go /with a single order and treating these additional posts as part of the current sanctioned strength of LSG, HSG-II, HSG-I and HSG-I (NFG). This has created a problem of upgraded/created posts remaining vacant for want of eligible candidates in the feeder grade.
- Therefore, the instructions issued vide this office letter dated 05.12.2018 are reiterated for strict compliance.
- Further, the Circles may modify the orders issued by them earlier creating the posts LSG, HSG-II, HSG-I & HSG-I (NFG) altogether and create only that much posts which can easily be filled with the availability of eligible candidates in respective feeder cadres in ensuing DPC meetings. A compliance may be sent latest by 22.02.2022 at adgesttl@indiapost.gov.in.
