GS Desk.....Repatriation of PS Gr B officers to their parent circle.
No. CHQ/AIAIPASP/1/Repatriation /2013 Dated : 21/1/2013.

Sub: Regarding issuance of repatriation orders in PS Gr. B cadre.
Ref. : Director (Staff) letter No. 9-18/2012-SPG dated 07/01/2013.
Respected Madam,
On behalf of IPASP Association I feel obliged for the repatriation orders of ELEVEN PS Group “B” cadre officers issued vide letter referred to above, against the future vacancies i.e. up to 31.03.2013 in the respective Circles. Consequently, the Circles would be benefited and could utilize services of these officers. Besides, the Circles would not have to proceed for short term arrangement, go for adhoc promotions against the guidelines of DOP&T and to face imbalances thereof.
As you aware, there is no charm left in the promotion, in terms of marginal pecuniary benefits, that too after getting transferred to a distant place at the fag end, when the officer consolidates his service innings. Thus, the only charm left would be to get retire with some solace. Aforesaid repatriation has come for many as bolt from the blue, particularly when the officer is moved from adversaries. Needless to say, that serving at distant circle with different culture, language, food, etc has never been liked by most of all.
Whereas, aforesaid repatriation orders have brought much cheer to the families concerned, but several similar situated officers are left stranded high and dry. While in respect of Punjab and Karnataka Circles the retirement vacancies arising upto 31/3/2013 has been taken into account, the same principle has not been adopted in respect of other Circles like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc. It is also understood that around 60% JTS posts are lying vacant for which DPC is also likely to be held shortly causing a number of Group “B” vacancies. Some others get voluntary retirement. A list of officers retiring in a couple of months against which repatriation can be considered is attached for reference. From the enclosed list you can see that, 5 officers from Tamil Nadu circle are retiring in this month whereas 13 officers of last year’s PS Gr. B batch are still working in other circles where they have already completed more than one year. The representations if any received from individual officer for repatriation to his parent circle and vacancies arises due to refusal of promotion may also be considered at the time of issuing repatriation order to their parent circles.
It is therefore urged upon kindly to intervene and arrange to issue appropriate repatriation orders against the future vacancies as shown in the enclosed list for the adjustment of affected persons.
An early action is solicited please.
With warm regards,

At the same time Association brings to your kind notice some pending issues concerning our cadre which are enhancing the sense of discontentment due to non settlement of the same. It is being kindly recalled that your predecessor concluded meeting lastly held on 18-10-2011 for looking into promotional prospects of IPs/ASPs calling final view point of the Association to merge IP/ASP cadre.
Since this was a vulnerable issue so Association left the decision for the house to decide. Subsequently, the house decided to request the department to relook in to the issue of merger of Inspector Posts and Assistant Superintendent Posts and call clarification / views on the following points which were sought vide this Associations letters of even number dated 17th July, 2012, 20th September and 1st October, 2012 (copies enclosed).

2. At present, there is separate Appointing / Disciplinary Authority for IP/ASP cadre i.e. DPS is Appointing Authority for IPs and Disciplinary Authority for minor penalties is Divisional Head and for major penalties is DPS. For ASP cadre, CPMG is Appointing Authority and Disciplinary Authority for minor penalties is DPS whereas for major penalties is CPMG. Hence it may be clarified on merger, who will be Appointing Authority and Disciplinary Authority for the merged cadre.
A copy of Director (SR) letter No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 6th September, 2012 for issuing clarification on the above enunciation is enclosed for reference but unfortunately it went for no result.
It is therefore urged to kindly intervene and get these points clarified so that the Association may feel it convenient to discuss this vital issue in the ensuing periodical meeting.
