GS writes to Secretary(P) on the issue of filling up of Direct recruit IP posts

No. 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/-
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
