Madam/Sir,

Attention is invited to Directorate's letter No. X-19/6/2019-SPN-II dated 07.04.2020, which provides detailed instructions on the subject mentioned above. It has been observed that several Circles are facing issues in forming the Review Committee under these Rules due to non-availability of Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) officers, particularly in the Postmaster General (PMG) cadre.

(a) Chief Postmaster General (CPMG) of the Circle - Chairman (b) One officer of the level of PMG/DPS - Member

(c) Vigilance Officer, as nominated by the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) – Member

3. All Circles are therefore requested to proceed with the functioning of the Review Committee in accordance with the revised composition and ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of aforesaid Rules.

4. This may be brought to the notice of all concerned for necessary action.

Yours faithfully,
