I am directed to refer to above mentioned subject and to say that Directorate is in receipt of various representations related to declination of promotion through LDCE to the cadre of Inspector Posts and requests for reversion to feeder cadre after joining promoted post of Inspector Posts.
2. As per Schedule of appointing and disciplinary authority, Director Postal Services is the appointing authority of Inspector Posts cadre and hence the acceptance of declination for promotion maybe done by DPS of parent Circle under intimation to Directorate.
3. Further, in case of reversion to feeder cadre, DPS of the Postal Circle where official is working as Inspector Posts may consider such requests in consultation with parent Circle of the official in feeder cadre. Cases where an official is allotted to his / her parent Circle, DPS concerned may take a decision. Cases decided by Circle may invariably be informed to Directorate.
4. This issues with approval of the competent authority.
Yours faithfully.
