Last date for exercising option and appointment to Postmaster Cadre extended:

Dear Comrades,

We have already discussed the pros and cons of Postmasters Cadre several times in this blog and written to our CHQ / NFPE in this regard also. Even, we have also kept our opinion in the last AIC in Pune, especially for extension of last date for exercising option  due to several reasons. Members are well aware that our CHQ has also written to the Directorate in this regard.

Now experiencing the gravity of the situation, the Directorate vide its letter No.4-17/2008-SPB.II, dated 7/8.02.2011 has directed all Circle Heads as follows:

1.    Intimation to Directorate regarding number of applications received for appointment to Postmaster Cadre by 20.02.2011.

2.    To convene the DPC meeting year-wise for promotion to LSG / HSG-II and finalize the said exercise by 28.02.2011

3.    To give another  opportunity to the officials  to furnish their options  for consideration of appointment  as Postmaster Grade – I and II

4.    Issue appointment orders by 29.04.2011.

5.    Not to fill up the Posts in Postmaster Grade – III until further review by and direction from the Directorate.

The scanned copy of the above Directorate’s letter is reproduced below for information of the viewers.
