intimated that series of representations were received in the Directorate from
the participants
alleging incorrectness / adoption of in appropriate keys for certain questions

question at time of initial evaluation itself. This Association requested to

the year 2012 held on 3/6/2013 without loss of time and also issue notification
for the LDCE for the year 2013 along with the details of vacancies to avoid
litigations if any in future.
2. Issue of seniority list
of Inspector Posts cadre.
The combined All India Seniority List of Inspectors of Posts from
the year 1999 onwards was not prepared, released and also not placed on India
Post website. This issue was importunately pushed by this Association since
last several years but to no action. This issue was discussed with Hon’ble
Secretary (P) on 6/2/2013 and it was assured in the meeting that the seniority
list would be made available at the earliest. Directorate vide memo No.
9-9/2011-SPG dated 20th February 2013 has circulated draft seniority list of
Inspector Posts for the year 1998, 1999 and 2000 to all circles for
rectification of mistakes if any but after lapse of considerable period the
final outcome is still awaited. Also direct SPG Division to start the
preparation of seniority list of remaining years.
3. Inter Circle Rule 38
transfer cases of Inspector Posts.
The Directorate vide letter No.
A.34013/01/2009-DE/SPB-II dated 5.2.2010 issued guidelines providing for
transfer of lady Inspectors of Posts against Direct Recruit / Departmental
examination vacancy based on her selection in the respective examination and
there after detailed guidelines for Inter-Circle-transfer of Inspectors of
Posts under Rule 38 of P&T Manual Vol. IV were issued under No.
141-177/2009-SPB-II dated 14th December 2010. In the said guidelines it is
mentioned that the CPMsG of the Circle where the Inspectors of Posts are
working would be competent to permit such transfer in consultation with the
CPMG of the Circle where the transfer is sought for by the individual. Further,
it is also mentioned that the CPMsG should take a considerable view in
consultation with their counterpart while considering the request of Inspectors
of Posts candidates for transfer to their Home / nearby Circle under Rule 38.
Department has further issued instructions to all Heads of Circles under
Directorate memo No. 141-114/2012-SPB.II dated 7th
May 2012 regarding disposal of the representation for transfer of the circle
cadre officials. This Association has pointed out time to time details of
several pending cases at various circles to Directorate and requested to
reiterate the instructions to all Heads of Circles to consider the Inter-Circle
–transfer cases of Inspectors of Posts on the basis of above instructions, but
very few Circles have positively responded. The scheme of allotment of surplus
qualified candidates has already been quashed out by Directorate in 2010. It is
therefore requested to issue instructions once again to all Heads of Circles to
consider all pending Inter-Circle transfer cases under Rule 38 of Inspectors of
Posts immediately against the vacant posts or on deputation basis in case of
non-availability of vacancies.
