Government of lndia
Ministry of Communications and lT
Department of Posts
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-11001 ,
Dated 18th April, 2014.
To
All Chief Postmasters General/ Postmasters General.
Subject:- Filling up the vacancies in Higher Selection Grade-t
(HSG.I) in Post Offices (POs) and Railway Mail Service (RMS) Offices- Reg.
Sir/Madam,
I am
directed to say that the existing Recruitment Rules in brief provide to fill up
the posts of Higher Selection Grade-l (HSG.l) in Post Offices (POs) and Railway
Mail Service (RMS) Offices in postal Circles as under:-
i. HSG.I
in POs: (i) The existing Recruitment Rules, 1976 of HSG.I in POs and amended
vide Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 1980 provide for
filling up
(a)
promotion from HSG.ll General line officials with three years regular ervice
and
(b)
promotion from Assistant Superintendent of Post Offices with two years regular
service, in the ratio of 50.50 - odd post exsting on the date preceding the
Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 1980 going to general line,
(ii) All
posts created after commencement of Recruitment (Amendment)
Rules,
1980 are to be filled up f promotion of HSG.ll official with three years
regular service In the grade.
ll. HSG I
in RMS offices: The Recruitment Rules, 1976 initially provided for filling up
the posts of HSG.I in RMS offices by promotion of HSG.ll officials in RMS
offices with 3 years regular service in the grade, which were further amended
in the year 1993 as per which 43 out of 111 sanctioned posts are earmarked for
being filled up by promotion of Asstt. Supdt. of Railway Mail Service (ASRM)
with 3 years regular service,
2. Earlier
DOP&T had not allowed to fill up the. posts in HSG.I by promotion on regular
basis as they observed that (i) the posts of HSG-I and ASPO carried same pay scale
therefore, the promotion of ASPO to HSG-I was not in order particularly, when they
noted that the ASPOs, after their promotion were permitted to go back to their parent
cadre and (ii) the RRs had become obsolete. Therefore, the Circles were advised
not to fill up the posts in HSG-I in Post Offices (POs) and Railway Mail Services
Offices (RMS Offices) by regular promotion pending amendment of the Recruitment
Rules (RRs) but subsequently allowed on more than one occasion to fill up the
posts in H$G-l in POs & RMS offices by promotion of HSG. ll officials on
adhoc basis.
3. The
Directorate initiated the process of amendment of the Recruitment Rules of HSG-I
in consultation with Department of, Personnel & Training (DOP&T) and
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), In the meantime, references had been
received from various Circles explaining difficulties being faced by them in
the absence of filing up of the posts in HSG-I or regular basis and
continuation of ad-hoc arrangement for past many years.
4. The
matter was taken up with DOP&T, bringing to their knowledge the difficulties
being faced by the Circles in the absence of regular incumbents and also the
concern of such officials who could not be promoted on regular basis. Thus, DOP&T
was requested to allow this Department to fill up the posts of HSG-I on regular
basis. DOP&T have now opined that the promotions may be made on the basis
of the existing RRs. However, the DOP&T has not clarified as to whether the
ASPOs could be 'promoted' to HSG-I, for which a separate reference is being
made to DOP&T. Pending the same, the Circles ale advised tg proceed further
in holding the DPC for promotion of HSG-ll Officials in Post Offices and RMS Offices
only to FISG-I on regular basis as per the provisions of the RRs.
5. The
Circles are advised to convene the DPCs for promotion to HSG-I on regular basis
latest by 30.04.2013 and issue the promotion orders by 06.05.2013. Thereafter,
a report may be furnished to the Directorate by Fax to Shri Raj Kumar, Director
(Staff (Fax No 23096103) by 10.05.2013 intimating the completion of the said exercise and number of officials thus
promoted to HSG-I and the number of posts remained vacant if any, for want of
eligible officials,
Yours faithfully,
(Alka Tewari)

Director General (SPN)

The government on Tuesday deferred a decision on hiking dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees to 80 per cent, from 72 per cent at present.
NEW DELHI: The government on Tuesday deferred a decision on hiking dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees to 80 per cent, from 72 per cent at present.
An increase in DA would have benefitted about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners.
"The proposal on DA has been deferred as the Finance Minister was not present," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari told reporters after the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram is on an official visit to Japan.
A hike in DA has been proposed with effect from January 1, 2013, according to sources.
The government had hiked DA to 72 per cent in September last year. The increase was with effect from July 1, 2012.
The Confederation of Central Government Employees has demanded merger of up to 50 per cent DA with the basic pay and setting up the seventh pay commission at the earliest.
As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 per cent cap. This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion to the basic pay.
