The
discussion was proceeded on the basis of the suggestions given by Postal JCA in
its letter No. PJCA/Cadre Restructuring/2017 dated 17.03.2017.
The gist of the meeting is
as follows.
1.
After
arguments and counter arguments, the Committee agreed to issue necessary orders
and uniform guidelines for maintaining
uniformity amongst Circles in allotment in distribution of Posts as follows in
addition to Single and Double-handed post Offices. There may be alteration in
allotment of LSG posts already allotted to the Circles
a.
Each
Gazetted Head Post Offices needs to create 3 LSG posts.
b.
All
pre-restructured HSG-I HOs and Grade – III HOs will have 2 LSG posts each.
c.
All
pre-restructured HSG-II HOs and Grade – II HOs will have one LSG post each.
d.
All
pre-restructured HSG-I MDGs and Grade – III Post Offices will have one LSG post
each.
e.
All
pre-restructured HSG-II MDGs/ SOs and Grade – II Post Offices will have 1 LSG
post each.
f.
In-Charge
of the PLI CPCs needs to upgraded to LSG.
g.
Accountants
in Divisional Offices and Head Post Offices will be identified as LSG.’
2.
It
was agreed that the Post of Treasurer will not be upgraded to LSG. In respect
of the Circles where the proposal has already been implemented, the case will
be reviewed.
3.
Since
the numbers of non-functional HSG-I Posts have already been restricted to 235
only, it is not possible to grant all HSG-I officials completing 2 years of
service to NFG. There will be no identification of Posts as NFG since its is
person-based. Only those senior most HSG-I officials completing two years of
service will be promoted to NFG.
4.
Directorate
has not yet issued any general order for merger of IP Line HSG-I posts to
General Line Posts. As such, the Committee cannot comment on such an aspect
since beyond its terms of references. However, Staff Section will review and
issue suitable orders.
5.
Regarding
one time relaxation of existing Recruitment Rules for promotion of all existing
LSG to HSG-II and HSG-II to HSG-I posts, it was agreed by the Committee to make
necessary recommendations for onward transmission to the nodal ministry.
6.
No
consensus was arrived for divisionalization of LSG cadre. However, it was agreed
that all the LSG promoted officials will be allotted to Divisions instead of Regions
for issuing posting orders within the Divisions by the respective Divisional
heads.
7.
There
will be no identification of Posts in LSG Cadre for SAs, PLI Group Leader, BEs,
MEs etc. But the persons already working in such posts if promoted to LSG may
be allowed to work there as LSG without any disturbance.
8.
Regarding
amendment of norms for promotion to HSG-II (6 years in LSG) and to HSG-I (5
Years in HSG-II), the Committee opined that Recruitment Rules have to be
changed which is not under the their purview. This may be examined by Staff
Section.
9.
No
officiating arrangement or adhoc posting on HSG-II & HSG-I can be made now
since there is dearth of eligible LSG and HSG-II officials.
10.
Only
Good bench mark will be applied for these promotions.
11.
Debarring
promotion after declination is the policy of the Govt. which is applicable to
all the cadres including the P As. The committee can not act on the issue.
12.
The
issues of Postmaster Cadre will be dealt in separately.
13.
In
respect of P As working in Foreign Post Offices, they have to treated at par
with others based on concerned Recruitment Rules. There will be no separate
treatment of such posts.
14.
The
total present LSG posts and PA posts will be taken into account as a whole for
deciding the strength of LR PAs.
15.
The
second phase of implementation in Tamilnadu circle is now put on hold, till the
matter is decided by directorate after getting the recommendation of the
committee’s report.
16.
Sort
fall in allotment of posts under cadre restructuring to Odisha circle will be
made good.
With greetings
(R. N. Parashar)
