CHQ/AIIPASP/Direct-Recruit IPs/2015
Dated : 24/6/2015.
To,
Ms Kavery Banerjee,
Secretary (Posts),
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.
Subject : Filling up of vacant posts of Direct Recruit
Inspector Posts.
Respected Madam,
IP/ASP
Association would like to bring to your kind notice that at present, the most
isolated and depressed is Inspector Posts (IP) cadre which is struggling for
getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- at par with analogous Inspectors of Customs and
Central Excise and now they are struggling even to get regular promotions after
rendering 24 years of service in IP cadre. Almost 99% staff get 4800/- GP under
MACP and there left no charm left in the promotion. For others, promotion can
be in terms of marginal pecuniary benefits that too accompanied with posting at
distant place at their fag end of service, when the officer tries to consolidate
his service innings.
We
are attaching herewith a chart showing the circle-wise position of Direct
Recruit Inspector Posts (IPs) i.e. sanction strength, presently available and
vacancy position as on date. From the chart it is explicitly clear that posts
of more than 50% Direct Recruit Inspectors are lying vacant in the Department,
and this has heavily burdened the existing IPs, ASPs and divisional heads. As you
are aware, Inspector Posts in DOP are granted less Grade Pay as compared to Inspectors
of Customs, CBDT, CBEC etc, thus, Direct Recruit IPs after their joining in the
DOP are leaving the job in order to garner job in other preferred organisations/departments.
Now-a-days, CBS project is going on full swing and to monitor this project and
also to procure and monitor ecommerce business etc. at each level there is need
of qualified IPs in the department.
Madam, now our cadre review file has again been relegated to
back seat by considered IPs inferior to AAO though we are given more targets,
considered more accountable and answerable than AAO. Since extinct promotional
avenue is a cause of concern for the cadre so the Association is still ready to
surrender 27 posts of IPs and department should not have any objection to it
because department is already managing the work with the shortage of 327 IPs
(Direct Recruit quota ). Besides this, many posts of promotee IPs (Departmental
Quota) are also vacant since years together.
It
is therefore urged upon to carry out a special drive to fill up above vacant
posts of Direct Recruit Inspector Posts in the department at the earliest. It
is also requested to arrange to send the cadre structuring file of Inspector
Posts cadre to Nodal Department / Ministry immediately, as other cadres files
have already been sent to Nodal Department/Ministry by the department.
Hoping
for an early action.
Yours
sincerely,
Sd/-
