Sub:- Immediate
need to promote all HSG-I officials who have completed 2 years in HSG-I to HSG-I (NFG) without linking
to availability of posts in HSG-I (NFG)
as per the recommendations in the report
of the committee constituted to examine the issues relating to the Postmaster cadre
Ref:- Directorate office order
No.25-19/2018-PE-I dated 25th February 2019
Sir,
Vide Directorate office order
No.25-19/2018-PE-I dated 12.10.2018, a committee was constituted to examine the
issues relating to the Postmasters cadre. The said committee has submitted its
report and the report was circulated vide Directorate office order referred
above. At Para 4.1.4 committee has given recommendations w.r.t. other allied
issues. At 4.1.4 (a) the committee recommended that ‘‘ As per present provision, financial upgradation to HSG-I
officials (NFG) is available on seniority basis on the availability of limited
number of posts. Usually, NFG is given after completion of certain period of
service without linking to availability of posts. The committee is of the view
that appropriate proposal be initiated for seeking approval of the competent
authority to allow NFG for all HSG-I officials after two years of sevice in
that grade.’’
But this recommendation of the
committee which is fully justified based on the usual practice adopted while
giving NFG is not implemented resulting in denial of natural justice to HSG-I officials who are
shouldering the responsibilities of appointing
authorities and disciplinary authorities to GDS, Postmen, MTS and also in
cases while imposing
minor penalties for PAs and also attending the duties of DDOs drawing
pay and allowances to the staffs and
even to higher officers and recently attending the work attended earlier by the
divisional heads of the duties of
approval of new PLI/RPLI policies
and sanction of claim on maturity
and claim in death cases of PLI/RPLI policies. All these works require higher
knowledge and skills in the present scenario of technology advancement in our
department. As such the implementation of the recommendation of the committee
to give NFG to all HSG-I officials after completion of 2 years of service in
that grade is fully justified.
Under the circumstances, it is
requested to implement the recommendations of the committee recommended at Para
4.1.4 (a) in true spirit by giving
notional promotion to NFG to those officials who have completed 2 years service
in HSG-I and in Postmaster Grade III cadre retrospectively from 27.05.2016 the
date of order of cadre restructuring, duly considering the justification. In
Karnataka circle, HSG-I (NFG) is given to those officials who have completed 2
years service in HSG-I notionally from 27.05.2016 vide CPMG Karnataka Circle
Bengaluru Memo No.BI/1-3/2018-19 dated 14.11.2018. This date of notional
promotion to HSG-I (NFG) should be made applicable to all those officials who
have completed 2 years service in HSG-I including the service in Postmaster
Grade III on 27.05.2016 so that seniors who were in Postmaster Grade III cadre
in the year 2016 till merger of Postmaster Grade III cadre with HSG-I are not denied their legitimate and
justified promotion. This will also
facilitate correcting of anomaly existing now because of promotion given to juniors who were in HSG-I
and promotion denied to seniors who were in Postmaster Grade III cadre on
27.05.2016.
An early action is solicited.
Yours
Sincerely,
(R.N.
Parashar)
Secretary
General
