7^th  CPC implementations will take time till JUNE-2016 ::

New Delhi, Jan 6: This will definitely make Central Government employees little disappointed. Reportedly Modi government might not be able to implement recommendations of Seventh Pay Commission before June 2016.

It is expected that Jaitley will reveal all the nuances regarding salary increment before the Budget Session. One of the possible reasons for this delay is that assembly election in many states including Pondicherry, Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala are due in the in the first quarter of 2016 . The Assembly election in these states will get over in June-July, 2016. Another reason is that many states have requested Centre to delay the implementation of seventh Pay Commission. It is being said that government of UP, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Tripura and Sikkim is worried about financial burden the CPC will bring upon the exchequer. //source: oneindia.com//

Atal Pension Yojana (APY)  -  WORK SHOP ON 03.01.2016 (SUNDAY) AT GPO, Hyderabad:- Work shop on APY was conducted and guided to city Postal Staff to procure APY applications from the customers.

Do you think Rs 5000 per month will be enough after 20 years  (may be Rs. 700/- or less) ? Forget about being enough, I am not sure how much value Rs 5000 will have by that time. In that case how Atal pension yojana (APY) will secure our society by providing pension? But definitely it is a stepping stone towards the social security of the unorganized sector.

One of the main demand of the Postmaster cadre is to allow them to LDCE for PSGr-B and Sr. Postmaster exams (from PM gr-I level to all PM cadre levels) Postmaster cadre is distinct notified the dept. hence asked all PM cadre posts should be filled by PM grade officials only. .  

But  7 CPC considered only PM gr-II and PM Gr-III are allowed to appear the Sr.PM exam at par with IPOs.

Present situation of Senior Post Master examination  eligibility :-

III with 2 years of regular service in the grade (including regular service in HSG, I if any) and75% by Inspector of Posts (IPOs) with 6 yearsof regular service in the grade on the basis of Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE).  

VII.The officials in PS Gr ‘B’ and Senior Postmaster (Gazetted) would be eligible for induction in IPoS Gr ‘A’ on the basis of a consolidated eligibility list.

Now many Sr. Postmaster Posts are working by  opted  PSGr-B cadre.

Report of the Seventh CPC

Post Masters’ Cadre

11.8.16 The existing hierarchy of the Post Masters’ Cadre is as follows:

Post Grade Pay No. of Posts Method of filling

Senior Post Master 4800   : total Posts : 116 :  25 percent from Postman Gr.III with 2 years’ experience. 75 percent LDCE from IPOs with 6 -years’ experience.

Post Master Gr.III 4600 :  total posts: 495 -  LDCE from Postman Gr.II with 5 years’ experience

Post Master Gr.II 4200 : total posts: 511  - LDCE from Postman Gr.I with 6 years’ experience

Post Master Gr.I 2800 :  total Posts: 2097 LDCE from PAs with 5 years’ experience 

Postal Assistant : (PA) 2400 : Information not available: 50 percent LDCE from MTS 50 percent Direct Recruitment

11.8.17 There are demands that officers of this cadre should also be permitted to appear for the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) for the post of Senior Post Master along with Inspector (Post).

Analysis and Recommendations:

11.8.18 The Commission has noted that 75 percent of the posts of Senior Postmaster in the GP 4800 are earmarked through LDCE for Inspector (Posts) who are in the GP 4200 whilst the balance 25 percent is available to Post Master Grade III (GP 4600) through seniority based promotions. The Commission notes that to ensure that professionally qualified, trained and meritorious officials head key Post Offices, it was decided, as recently as November, 2010 to introduce a separate cadre of Postmasters. Given the distinct emphasis on merit the demand of the Postmasters’ cadre seems justified. It is also further noted that besides the post of Senior Post Master, Inspectors also have growth opportunities in their own hierarchy, going up to the level of Senior Superintendent in the GP 5400 (PB-3). The Commission is thus of the view that promotional prospects of the Inspectors’ cadre would not significantly reduce if Post Masters, specifically Postmaster Gr. II (GP 4200) and Postmaster Gr.III (GP 4600) are also allowed to appear for LDCE for the 75 percent of the Senior Post Masters’ post. Accordingly the Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the posts of Senior Post Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master Gr.III through seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post Masters’ cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted to appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent of the Senior Postmasters’ posts.//
