Article 3 - Should we fear to face the Cadre restructure?

Article 3 - Should we fear to face the Cadre restructure?

No Not at all....

The following are the some more doubts still wandering every places. To clarify such things this article-3 is published for the kind information of our beloved officials.

1. Expecting the LSG and above higher posts as divisional/regional cadre???. 

It is not at all feasible. If it is happened one division Junior PAs may get the LSG promotion and other division Senior PAs may deprived that opportunity. Juniors may become senior and senior may become junior. It may create chaos in the Group C wing of the Postal department. While LSG promotion order, one will be informed with region/division and office of posting too. Then if that place of posting is preferable to the officials they may opt that post. or else they can decline. 

2. If posted at far away offices from the family????

a)Accepting or declining is official's own discretion. After the place of posting before joining in that promotional post, officials may decline or accept such promotion under cadre restructure.

b) If LSG promotion is accepted by the officials, then they may get a chance to get HSG II/I posts shortly by claiming one time relaxation for the service eligible conditions. Since even after the LSG posts are filled, as per the HSG II/I recruitment rules conditions, most of the newly identified HSG II/I posts would be vacant only. Those are once going to be manned by the Postal assistants only.

c) If LSG is not accepted then their further MACP may be postponed till such acceptance of their promotion. After declining the promotion one year time is debarment period. After such one year, they may get a chance again to get their willing offices to accept such promotion. Till that time only MACPs will be postponed. So question of fearing wont be arise at all.

3. What about the financial benefits for accepting this promotion???

a)Question of getting financial benefits is escalated towards the officials at nook and corner of our department. But....?????

b) We have had much criticism that the very meager promotional posts available in our department and claimed MACPs after acute stagnation because of not enough promotional posts to us. Now the department enhanced the promotional opportunities. For already availed pay benefits under MACP, one cannot expect one more pay benefit. One cannot expect dual benefits for a same promotion. That expectation cannot be sustained and nowhere it has merits to stand at out department and as well as at honorable court of law.

c) More over audit authorities are strictly instructed that the One notional increment is also to the officials got promotion prior to 2006 and carrying higher responsibilities for the same grade pay.

d) It is not an ethical practice to seek only pay benefits by avoiding responsibilities.

e) In the same way officials cannot be suffered by distance posting from their family. After the place of posting, before joining in that promotional post they can decline such promotion and they can wait till further chance after one year debarment period. Hope every one shall get their willing places.

f) Rather than fearing and criticizing, lets enter into this cadre restructure with the above positive things.

All the very best!!!
