TO ALL OFFICERS:

Dear Friends,

PROMOTION PROCESS

The management has announced promotion process from Scale-I to II, II to III and III to IV. You are aware that our FEDERATION had taken up the issues relating to the PPO with the management for the relaxation in Eligibility in all scales, keeping aside the debarment clause, Rural/SU service, discontinuation of fast track channel in the promotion of Scale-I to II and introduction of normal channel in the promotion of Scale III to IV.

We are very happy to inform you that our management has conceded to our request so as to make sufficient number of officers eligible for this year process for their rapid career advancement. Accordingly the management has issued communication now asking for the letter of willingness. The last date for the submission of such letter of willingness from the eligible officers of S-I & II has been fixed as 28th Feb, 2013 and from the eligible officers of S-III as 5th Mar 2013.

1. Total number of vacancies of S-II is 2582, S-III is 1771 and

S-IV is 329.

2. For S-I to II, satisfactory service in S-I is relaxed to 4 years for NC and 2 years for the WT channel.

3. For S-II to III, satisfactory service in S-II is relaxed to 4 years for NC and 2 years for WT channel.

4. For S-III to IV, NC is introduced and the eligibility is relaxed to 2 years for both WT and NC.

5. Rural/SU stint would continue to be post-promotion condition.

6. Debarred officers other than under DAP is allowed to participate in this process.

While thanking the management for their new initiative towards the career progression of officers, there are still some more issues relating to this process, which we have already taken up with the management.

1. The S-III vacancies are reported as 1771 and availability of the eligible/ required officers would be comparatively very less. The officers promoted to S-II in the year 2011 are made ineligible to appear for Scale-III promotion process for this year. Even though that process was started in the year 2010, and the promotees of that batch were penalized for the delayed posting that too after 7-8 months, i.e in June-2011 and for no fault of them this time also they are not eligible with the reason that they have completed only 21 months in Manager category as of 1st April.

2. As per the common PPO, the cut-off date would henceforth be 1st April. In such situation, management should consider the effective date of promotion from the date of application, otherwise by delaying the posting to 2-3 months after the cut-off date, the officers have to wait additional period of 1 year for further promotions. If this serious discrepancy is allowed to persist, the benefit of relaxation in service eligibility would continue to be unreal.

3. For S II –III and S III-IV promotion, the service eligibility in the existing scale is relaxed to 2 years, but the officers are directed to submit PA for 3 years. How the management is expecting the officers to submit the PA for the previous scale.

We shall take up these matters at the appropriate levels for immediate redressal of the problems.

We convey our Best wishes to all the officers who are willing to take up the higher responsibility.

WITH FRATERNAL GREETINGS,

Yours Sincerely,

( A.R.Saifullah )
