Subject : Holding of DPC for promotion to the cadre of
PS Gr. B for vacancy year 2015-16
Respected Sir,
This
Association conveys its sincere thanks for timely processing of the DPC for
promotion of ASPs to PS Group “B” for the vacancy year 2015-16. But, it is learnt that same has been held up for the time being in order
to include resultant vacancies arising out of JTS DPC for the year 2015-16.
Whereas there are laid down provisions to include vacancies arising on account of “promotion” and “chain
vacancies” by keeping approved panel or holding supplementary DPC enabling
department to hold PS Group B DPC
without waiting for the result of JTS DPC.
In this regard, a kind reference is
invited to para-3 of the Department of Posts (Personnel Division) letter
No.25-10/2014-SPG dated 09/07/2014 coupled with para-7 of DOP & T OM
No.22011/9/98-Estt (D) dated 08-09-1998 (copy enclosed) wherein it is provided
that a DPC may take into account all clear expected vacancies by retirement in
the concerned grade as well as chain vacancies on account of retirement etc.
in the higher grades which can be clearly anticipated in the same vacancy
year.
Department of Posts vide Personnel
Division letter dated 09/07/2014 has also issued instructions to percolate the
seniority quota vacancies arising in higher grades in a vacancy year down to
lower cadres/grades and to take into account along with the clear vacancies
arising in a particular grade. Further, as clarified vide Para.4.(II) of the
said letter a Circle will take into account the vacancies arising from HAG to
PS Group-B Cadre in that Circle in a vacancy year as chain vacancies for lower
cadres in addition to existing and anticipated vacancies in the said lower
cadre arising in that vacancy year.
Moreover,
there is also provision for conducting second (supplementary) DPC in accordance
with DOP& T
OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt (D) dated 10-4-89[para 6.4.2(i)] and OM
No.22011/2/2014-Estt (D) dated 30-1-2015 (copy enclosed) for the vacancies
which could not be anticipated at the time of holding the earlier DPC.
Furthermore, As per the DOP & T
guidelines issued from time-to-time, the selected panel is to be kept ready and
to be utilized as and when the vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy
year to ensure timely promotion of the employees. As on 1-8-2015 there are 224 vacancies
available in PS Gr. B cadre. There will be resultant vacancies of the same vacancy
year after holding DPC for promotion to the cadre of JTS Gr. “A” for the
vacancy year 2015-16.
It is
therefore requested to your kind honour to convene PS Group B DPC immediately for the vacancy year 2015-16 so that
our members could get timely promotion against 224 existing vacancies in PS Gr.
B cadre. Supplementary DPC can be held thereafter for resultant vacancies on
account of “promotion” and “chain vacancies” as and when the vacancies arise
during the course of the vacancy year 2015-16.
With profound regards,
Yours
sincerely,
Enc:-As above
