Respected Madam,

Your kind attention is invited to our letter of even no. dated 23.12.2010 (copy enclosed) on the subject mentioned above.

This issue is pending since November 2009 and we have taken up the above matter with the Department repeatedly and also held informal meetings with the DDG (Estt.). We have also taken up this issue as an item in the agenda for periodical meeting. Unfortunately, no meeting has been conducted by the Department. However, the Department is holding regular meetings with the Postal JCA comprising NFPE, FNPO and GDS Unions. We have also requested to your goodself by our letter dated 31.05.2011 for grant of personal interview to discuss our long pending genuine demands but the same has not been granted so far. This is very crucial and important issue agitating the minds of our members and there is a great resentment among them.

Association gave its proposal in writing for merger of the post of Inspector, Posts & Assistant Superintendent, Posts and designating the merged post as Inspector, Posts or Assistant Superintendent, Posts as may be decided by the Department but retaining the Gazetted status to the existing incumbents in Assistant Superintendent, Posts grade till their promotion / retirement. If the Department feels problem in merger of the post of IP and ASP, then the post of ASP may be merged with PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- with effect from 01.01.2006 as both the posts are Gazetted Group B & difference of Grade Pay is only Rs.200/-.

This Association urges upon the Department to consider up-gradation of Grade Pay of Inspector Posts from Rs. 4200/- to Rs. 4600/- with effect from 01.01.2006 and merger of the post of ASP with the post of PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- .

The Association shall be grateful if an immediate meeting on the above subject is conducted by the Department to discuss and resolve this issue positively.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Roop Chand)
