Uniform tenure policy in RMS – (DG (P) No. 137-4/2002-SPB-II dated 10.06.2003)

I am directed to say that some of the unions have represented to this Department that a few circles are not strictly following the rules/instructions relating to the tenure policy in RMS. They have also complained that extension of tenure is being granted without the approval of the Competent Authority.

2. As the Circles etc. are aware, the existing orders and guidelines on this issue are quite clear and elaborate. The problem pointed out by the Unions could be due to local aberrations. However, the Circles are requested to take appropriate steps to ensure that the tenure policy in RMS is followed scrupulously keeping in mind the broad parameters of the rotational transfer policy guidelines issued from time to time.

    I am directed to refer to the subject cited above and to say that the matter was discussed in the JCM meeting. After due deliberation, it has been decided that the tenure for Mailman and SG Mailman in RMS divisional offices and Gr. ‘D’ staff in Postal Divisional Offices should be for five years. Further, rotation of Mailman and SG Mailman may be prescribed from the office of the Divisional Superintendent RMS to the HRO or any other office at the same station where the Divisional office is located. Likewise, rotation for Gr. ‘D’ officials in the Postal Divisional Offices is prescribed from the office of the Divisional Superintendent to the HO or any other office at the same station where the Divisional Office is located.

    1. This may be brought to the notice of all concerned and necessary action taken accordingly.
