Dear Postmasters! This is an appeal from AIAPC



Dear Postmasters,

In this DIWALI, AIAPC wishes a happy and prosperous future of all the Postmasters and their family members. This is for information of all that owing to OA No 1545 of 2017 filed before the Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh Bench, Cadre Restructuring of Postmaster Cadre is now in active stage. Because of OA No 1434 of 2017 filed before Hon’ble CAT, Chandigarh Bench, the DOP has pleased to clarify that all the officials who were promoted to Postmaster Grade-I on the basis of the result of LDCE declared on 30th June, 2011 and got posting order even in February, 2012, had completed 5 years service as on 01.04.2016 and became eligible for promotion by virtue of relaxation provided vide Directorate letter dated 28.04.2016.

So it is clearly visible that your own association has now started to gain benefits for Postmaster Cadre. However, a few direct benefits like one time relaxation, 3% increment have been achieved so far and a lot of benefits have to achieve in near future like ‘Distinct Category for Postmaster Cadre’ followed by recognition of your own association, Up-gradation of Pay, 100% posts of Sr Postmaster for Postmaster Cadre alone else right to write LDCE for PS Gr-B Examination under 19% quota & Sr PM under 75% quota, carving out of the Posts of Sr Postmasters from the posts PS Gr-B, immediate promotion of Grade-III Postmasters to the posts of Sr Postmaster under 25% quota, holding of LDCE for Postmaster Grade-I etc.

All of you are aware of the fact that due to such many legal battles huge amount is being incurred from our fund. Therefore, we appeal to all Postmasters to contribute to the fund of AIAPC generously with a view to strengthen the movement of Postmaster Cadre.

Truly Yours,


TeamAIAPC
