IMPORTANT GOVT. ORDERS
No.04-28/2013-SPB-II Dated: 15-05-2013
Filling up the posts of Postmaster Grade-III
in Post Offices in Postal Circles.
I am directed to refer to Directorate's
letter No. 13-2/2010-PE.I dated 25-11-2010 con-
stituting a separate cadre of Postmasters
namely Postmaster Grade-I, II, III and Senior
Postmaster by carving out certain number of
Posts in the existing General Line Posts in LSG/
HSG.II/ HSG-I and Postal Service Group -B re-
spectively . As per the said order the posts will
be deemed to have been designated as Post-
master Grade-I , II and III w.e.f. the dates those
are filled up. The Recruitment Rules of Post-
master Grade III, including Grade I & II, have
since been notified on 09-09-2010 and circulated
vide Directorate's letter No. 4-17/2008-SPB-II
dated 22-11-2010. The cadres of Postmaster
Grade-I and II have already become operational.
In the context, Directorate vide letters No. 4-19/
2012-SBP-II dated 7/8.2.2011 and 02-05-2012
had inter-alia asked the Circles to await further
instructions from the Directorate regarding fill-
ing up of the posts in Postmaster Grade-III ,
under initial constitution clause as the then ex-
isting vacancies in HSG-I were yet to to filled up
on regular basis, s per revised Recruitment Rules
of HSG-I when notified.
2. Revision of Recruitment Rules for HSG-
I cadre in POs and RMS Offices is still under
consideration in consultation with Union Public
Service Commission and Department of Person-
nel & Training (DOP&T) . In the meanwhile, the
Department had proposed to DOP&T, to permit
filling up te vacancies in HSG-I in Post offices
by promotion of HSG-II officials as per the ex-
isting Recruitment Rules. The same has since
been agreed to by DOP&T . Consequently , the
Directorate vide letter No. 4-44/2012-SPB-II
dated 18-04-2013 has issued instructions to all
Circles to fill up the vacancies in HSG-I in PO &
RMS offices, as per the provisions of existing
Recruitment Rules. by convening DPC meet-
ings by 30-04-2013 and issue the promotion
orders by 06-02-2013.
3. The Recruitment Rules for Postmaster Grade-
III provide for filling up the posts through initial
constitution clause from the officials holding the
post in HSG-I on regular basis in Post Offices
by calling options from them for appointment to
the post and a Screening Committee shall as-
sess te suitability of officials who apply for ap-
pointment as Postmaster Grade-III at the com-
mencement of the said Rules.
4. In view of the above, the Circles are now, re-
quested to take necessary action for filling up
the posts of Postmaster Grade-III under initial
constitution clause of the Recruitment Rules by
calling optons/ applications from HSG-I officials
in Post Offices. While issuing circular calling
for options /applicatons from the HSG-I officials
, the following conditions laid down in paragraph
6 of Directorate's letter No. 4-7/2008-SPB-II dated
22-11-2010, which are reproduced below for
ready reference may be brought to their notice.
I. Once an official submits his application he
will not be allowed to withdraw the same.
II. Officials who are still left with at least two
years of service to retire may only apply in order
to avoid their dislocaton at the fag end of their
service.
III. In the event of their appointment as Post-
master -III their further career progression will
be in the hierarchy in the Postmaster cadre only
as per the provisions in the relevant Recruitment
Rules and not in the Geneal Line.
5. Earlier , the Directorate vide of letter No. 4-
17/2008-SPB-II dated 22-11-2010 had advised
the Circles to call for applications for Postmas-
ter Grade-III also but subsequently vide letter
dated 7/8.2.2011 and 02-05-2012 the Circles
were advised to await further instructions from
the Directorate. It may be made clear in the cir-
cular that all those who had applied in response
to the earlier circular and are still willing for ap-
pointment as Postmaster Grade-III should ap-
ply again.
6. The applications/ options, so received from
eligible regular HSG-I officials in Post Offices,
may be scruitinzed by the Circles and submit-
POSTAL BHARATI 4 J ULY, 2013
ted to the Screening Committee for consideration.
The officials recommended by the Screening Com-
mittee may be considered by the appointing au-
thority and appointed immediately as Postmaster
Grade-III against the idenitided posts. If certain
number initial constituiton clause for want of suffi-
cient number of eligible officials , the same may be

No.137-32/2013-SPB-II Dated: 29th May, 2013
Submission of representations/ petitions or
advance copies of representations to Direc-
torate -Reg.
I am directed to say that it has been
observed that there has been a tendency on the
part of several officials at various levels to by-
pass the prescribed channels of submission of
representations / petitions or to submit advance
copies of representations to Secretary (Posts)/
Director General (Posts)/ Member (Personnel)/
DDG (Personnel) / Director (Staff ) requesting
for promotion, pay fixation grant of MACP, trans-
fer under Rule 38, posting to a particular station,
expunction of adverse remarks , appointment to
specific position, etc. Even in such matters, where
the Circles, are competent to decide the repre-
sentations, the officials are sending representa-
tions/ petitions or advance copy of representa-
tions to Directorate . Mere perusal and / or pro-
cessing of such letter consume significant time
at different levels in the Directorate.
2. In this context, it is pointed out that Rule 115
of the P&T Manual Vol. II states that any repre-
sentation , which is not an appeal should be
designated as a petiton . According to Rule 118-
A. (1) of the said Volume, any petition or copy
thereof which is sent direct to the Director Gen-
eral or to any subordinate authority, instead of
through the proper channel, will be filled, no no-
tice of any kind being taken of it.
3. Further , the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964
clearly provide that whenever a Government ser-
vant wishes to press a claim or seek redressal
of a grivance in any matter connected with ser-
vice rights or conditions, the representations
should be forwarded through proper channel.
4. In spite of adequate and clear instructions
regarding the manner in which the representa-
tions / petitions or copies of representations are
being submitted directly to higher authorities in
violation of the said instructions.
5. In view of the above , the Circles are requested
to bring the above position to the notice of their
employees and advise them to refrain from send-
ing advance copies of representations/ petitions
or copies of the representations to the authori-
POSTAL BHARATI 5 J ULY, 2013
ties in the Directorate. Any such communica-
tion not received through proper channel will be
filed without taking notice of it. Administrative
action may also be taken against officials for
violation of rules/ instructions on the subject.

stricted to only those officials , who have com-
pleted probation period , wherever applicable ,

WRITE A LETTER SHRI KAPIL SIBAL
HON'BLE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATION &
I.T. REGARDING PREPARATION OF FAULTY
SOFTWARE . Dated: 18-06-2013
Dear Shri Sibal ji,
It is good that the Department of Posts
has undertaken large programme of computeriza-
tion & Modernization , under which hardware's are
being purchased on large scale & software's are
also being prepared / updated and installed.
Sanchay post software of your department has
been prepared in house by your experts. However,
I notice following irregularities in functioning of
software:-
1. Preparing of software was given to one date Net
corpn. having no experience in this field. No tender
formality was followed . Foftware was prepared for
one sub Post offfice, but implemented in thou-
sands of HPOs , SOs without permission from MS
Data Net corpn.
2. This was open ended software it do not have
any provision for data security . It do not contan any
stored preocedure for data security purpose .
Therefore data can be changed locally by operator
on his own.
3. Data security is managed by password . There-
fore no one has control over data Control over ac-
cess to data was therefore left to local operator
who is free to make any changes in order to com-
mit frauds. Many operator have done this.
4. Opertor's limit is not defined, he is free to with-
draw any account at his choice without knowledge
of his supervisor.
5. Neither validation of Sanchay Post Software has
been doen nor software has been tested, nor its
trial run was carried out by Deptt. before launching
software in order to ensure that it is foolproof soft-
ware.
6. Mr. A.K. Nagpal, ADO % DA (P) Ahmedabad had
raised serious concerns in the years 1998, 1999
& 2000 but those concerns have never addressed.
As a result of above problems dozens of
frauds have taken place in the country. An innocent
official who has no role played in preparation of
faulity Software are being booked by the Deptt. No
action has been taken aginst those who pre-
pared Software.
It is a time for Hon'ble MOC to pay more
attention in functioning of deptt. to review the situa-
tion to remove defects stated above.

PLIES FOR BANKING LICENCE
NEW DELHI, J UNE 28, 2013
The Department of Posts, on Thursday,
submitted an application before the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) for a licence to offer full-fledged
banking services.
We have approached the RBI today
[Thursday], and hopefully having met all the con-
ditions of RBI, an in-principle approval might be
given. If it is given, I think, it will be a revolution-
ary step because it will bring banking, subject
to Cabinet approval, to the doorstep of the ordi-
nary man in this country, Telecom and IT Minis-
ter Kapil Sibal told PTI.
The RBI is in the process of granting
fresh banking licences and has set J uly 1 as the
deadline for applying.
The Department of Posts has plans to
start 50 bank branches in the first year and scale
it to a total of 150 branched in five years.
The Department of Posts has started
inter-ministerial consultations for seeking Cabi-
net approval on around Rs.1,900 crore fund re-
quirement to start Post Banks. The total amount
includes Rs.500 crore paid-up capital required
under new banking licence guidelines. PTI

Daksh said. He added that a new
mechanised parcel and logistic hub-pro-
cessing center was also under consider-
ation for improving services.
In Lucknow, the new parcel services
would be made available at prominent post of-
fices, including General Post office (GPO),
Chowk, New Hydrabad, Gomti Nagar, Nirala
Nagar, Mahanagar, Aliganj, Indira Nagar, SGPGI,
IIM, LDA colony, Aminabad, Alambagh and

Senior officials at the postal department
said the new system, which was an India Post
initiative, would scrap at least two processes
involved in the route of booking to delivery, that
would help cut down on the delivery time. As of
now, after the booking at the post offices, the
parcel is sent to the Railway Mail Service (RMS)
office of the source station, where it is processed
and directed to the RMS of the destination sta-
tion. Thereafter it is sent to the concerned post
office and dispatched for delivery.
Officials explained that as in the new system,
the processing time at the RMS centres could
be saved it would save at least two days in case
of distant parcel deliveries.
