Key Demands and Challenges

Overview

The All India Association of Supervisor Cadre (AIASC) has addressed a formal appeal (No. AIASC CHQ-11/2024) to the Hon’ble Secretary (Posts), Government of India, urging the removal of the 10% cap on Non-Functional Grade (NFG) promotions for HSG-I officials. The association highlights systemic delays and inequities in granting NFG promotions to eligible officials who have completed two years of regular service in the cadre.

Key Issues Raised

10% Cap on NFG Promotions

• Current policy restricts NFG promotions to only 10% of HSG-I posts, leaving many eligible officials without career progression.
• AIASC demands 100% NFG eligibility for all HSG-I officials after two years of service, aligning with practices in other cadres (e.g., AAO/ASP).

Administrative Bottlenecks

• Redeployment of posts across circles (e.g., Punjab, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh) has left eligible officials without promotion opportunities.
• Delays in implementing DTE Letter No. 02-24/2020-PE-I (05.08.2020) have exacerbated disparities.

Proposed Solutions

• Revert redeployed HSG-I (NFG) posts to their original circles
• Allocate 50 additional NFG posts from the merged Postmaster Office III cadre (495 posts).
• Uniform NFG implementation across all circles, irrespective of post availability.

Review and Resolution

• Conduct a circle-wise review to identify eligible officials and vacant posts.
• Expedite resolutions to ensure fairness and justice for HSG-I cadre members.
