The revised SOP, approved by the Office of the Controller General of Accounts (CGA), supersedes the earlier procedure issued on 17 September 2025. Key Provisions of the Revised SOP
Under the revised procedure, the CPAO, Pay and Accounts Offices (PAOs), Heads of Offices (HoOs), banks and other concerned authorities have been assigned specific responsibilities to ensure the timely processing of pension cases. 1. Initiation and Processing of Pension Cases

Upon receipt of the documents, the PAO will obtain the Service Book and other relevant records from the Head of Office to initiate the issuance of a new PPO under the applicable provisions. 2. Verification and Issuance of New PPO
The PAO will generate a new PPO number using the utility provided by the CPAO and prepare the PPO against the existing PPPO. The PPO/SSA will be prepared using the existing PPO number and PRAN number, as prescribed in the revised procedure.
Before finalising the PPO, the PAO must verify the details against the available records and obtain the required approval from the CPAO. The revised procedure also provides for verification of pension and family pension details to ensure accuracy and prevent discrepancies. 3. Responsibilities of CPAO
The CPAO will examine the PPO and SSA received from the PAO and verify their correctness against the available records. It will coordinate with the Central Pension Processing Centre (CPPC) of the concerned bank to ensure the proper processing of pension and family pension cases.

Download Verification from McCamish
In preparation for the upcoming migration from McCamish to the new Insurance Management Solution (IMS), the Karnataka Circle has directed all circles and divisions to immediately commence data verification activities, following the instructions conveyed by the Postal Life Insurance (PLI) Directorate during a video conference held on October 27, 2026.
The initiative aims to ensure the accuracy and completeness of migrated policy data and facilitate a smooth transition to the new IMS platform.

CEPT-Developed IMS Launched at Bengaluru GPO and 22 Offices to Modernise PLI Services
CEPT-Developed Insurance Management Solution (IMS) Launched at Bengaluru GPO and 22 Offices
A Major Milestone in the Digital Transformation of Postal Life Insurance
In a significant step towards the digital transformation of Postal Life Insurance (PLI), the Insurance Management Solution (IMS), developed in-house by the Centre for Excellence in Postal Technology (CEPT), has been launched at Bengaluru General Post Office (GPO) and 22 offices under Bengaluru. This initiative marks an important milestone in the Department of Posts' efforts to modernise insurance services through indigenous technological innovation.
The launch demonstrates India Post's commitment to providing efficient, accessible and customer-friendly insurance services by leveraging digital platforms and simplifying existing operational processes.
Key Features of the Insurance Management Solution
The Insurance Management Solution is designed to streamline PLI operations, minimise paperwork and improve the overall experience for policyholders, postal employees and Direct Agents.
1. Online Proposal Submission
Customers can submit insurance proposals through the mobile application, website and self-service portal, making the process more convenient and accessible.
2. Assisted Proposal Submission
Postal employees and Direct Agents can assist customers in submitting insurance proposals through the system, ensuring that digital services remain accessible to those who require guidance.
3. Elimination of Manual Data Entry at CPCs
By digitising proposal submission, IMS eliminates the need for repetitive manual form filling and data entry at Central Processing Centres (CPCs), helping reduce administrative workload and improve operational efficiency.
4. Direct Credit of Maturity Benefits
The solution facilitates the direct credit of maturity benefits to policyholders' linked bank accounts, offering a more convenient and streamlined payment experience.
5. Online Purchase of Non-Medical Policies
Eligible non-medical insurance policies can be purchased online through e-KYC, subject to approval by the concerned CPC. This facility simplifies the purchasing process and promotes the adoption of digital insurance services.
Improving Efficiency and Customer Experience
The implementation of IMS represents a significant shift towards technology-enabled insurance operations. By reducing paperwork, minimising manual intervention and streamlining workflows, the system aims to improve service delivery and enhance operational efficiency across the postal insurance network.
The platform also empowers postal employees and Direct Agents with digital tools to facilitate insurance-related activities more effectively. Customers, in turn, can benefit from simplified procedures and greater convenience when accessing PLI services.

100% e-KYC Enablement and Mobile Number Linking in CIFs: Department of Posts Directs Time-Bound Action
Department of Posts Focuses on 100% e-KYC Enablement and Mobile Number Linking in CIFs
The Department of Posts has directed all Postal Circles to take time-bound measures to achieve 100% e-KYC enablement and mobile number linking in Customer Information Files (CIFs) as part of the three-month campaign on Preventive Vigilance, 2026. The initiative is aimed at strengthening KYC compliance and improving the completeness of customer records across the postal network.
Download Department of Posts Directs Time-Bound Action
In a circular dated 15 October 2026, the Financial Services Division of the Department of Posts instructed all Heads of Circles to identify CIFs that are not e-KYC-enabled and complete the prescribed re-KYC process to enable e-KYC. Circles have also been asked to identify CIFs without linked mobile numbers and take necessary steps to ensure that the respective mobile numbers are linked.
The campaign on Preventive Vigilance is being conducted from 17 August to 16 November 2026, with KYC/e-KYC and mobile number seeding in all accounts identified as key digital initiatives.
Circle-Wise Review of e-KYC Status
According to the data provided in Annexure-I of the circular, the total number of CIFs stood at 22.94 crore, while 20.29 crore CIFs were reported as e-KYC-enabled, representing an overall coverage of 0.88% as recorded in the annexure. The figures indicate the need for focused action by Circles to improve e-KYC coverage. The reported percentage should be verified against the underlying figures before publication, as the totals appear inconsistent.
Mobile Number Linking: Scope for Improvement
Annexure-II of the circular reports that, out of 22.94 crore CIFs, mobile numbers were linked in 15.04 crore CIFs, representing an overall coverage of 65.57%. This highlights the importance of identifying CIFs without linked mobile numbers and taking appropriate action to improve coverage.
Among the Circles, Himachal Pradesh reported the highest mobile-linking coverage at 86.26%, followed by Chhattisgarh at 82.10% and Assam at 76.82%. Andhra Pradesh reported 52.40%, while Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh reported 54.14% and 54.21%, respectively, indicating areas requiring additional attention.
Time-Bound Action and Monitoring
The Department has instructed all Heads of Circles to examine the Circle-wise data, identify gaps and formulate appropriate action plans to achieve complete coverage in both areas. Necessary directions are to be issued to the concerned field units, with close monitoring of progress and expeditious completion of pending activities in accordance with prescribed procedures.
The initiative underscores the importance of maintaining accurate and complete customer records and strengthening digital processes in postal financial services. Coordinated efforts by Circle offices and field units will be essential to achieving the targeted coverage within the campaign period.

| 8 | Postalstudy | Post Office Blog | Materials for | Exams Right to Protest in India: Constitutional Freedom, Peaceful Dissent and Democratic Accountability Right to Protest Is Not Just Rhetoric: Protecting India's Constitutional Democracy Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right that enables citizens to question authority, demand accountability and defend justice within the framework of the Constitution. In a vibrant democracy, the voice of the people is one of the strongest instruments of accountability. When citizens rise against injustice, students demand transparency, workers fight for their rights and lawyers challenge government action, they exercise the democratic freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of India. The right to protest is not merely a political slogan; it is an essential safeguard of constitutional democracy.
An article published in Around Odisha English Daily, authored by Bruhaspati Samal under the headline “Right to Protest Is Not Just Rhetoric,” highlights the importance of preserving peaceful dissent and ensuring that restrictions on public demonstrations remain lawful, necessary and proportionate. Constitutional Foundations of the Right to Protest
The Indian Constitution guarantees citizens several fundamental freedoms that form the foundation of democratic participation. Article 19(1)(a) guarantees freedom of speech and expression, while Article 19(1)(b) protects the right to assemble peacefully and without arms. Article 19(1)(c) safeguards the right to form associations and unions.
These constitutional protections enable citizens to organise collective movements, express disagreement with public policies and demand corrective action from the authorities.
However, these freedoms are not absolute. Articles 19(2), 19(3) and 19(4) permit reasonable restrictions on specified constitutional grounds. The central question is whether restrictions imposed on protests are genuinely necessary, lawful and proportionate, or whether they effectively prevent citizens from exercising their fundamental rights. Peaceful Dissent Is Essential to Democracy
The article refers to protests surrounding the alleged NEET paper leak, demonstrations against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demands for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. These developments illustrate the continuing debate over the relationship between public protest, government authority and constitutional freedoms.
The larger issue is not whether every protest or demand is justified. Rather, it is whether citizens retain a meaningful opportunity to express their grievances peacefully and seek accountability through democratic means.
In a democracy, disagreement with the government cannot automatically be treated as opposition to the nation. Peaceful criticism, public debate and collective action are essential components of a healthy political system. Balancing Public Order and Fundamental Rights
Maintaining public order is a legitimate responsibility of the State. Authorities must protect public safety, prevent violence and ensure that essential services continue to function. At the same time, these responsibilities must be exercised without unnecessarily suppressing peaceful democratic expression.
Restrictions on demonstrations should therefore be assessed on the basis of their legal justification, necessity and proportionality.
A blanket prohibition on demonstrations, arbitrary detention or excessive restrictions may raise serious constitutional concerns when less restrictive alternatives are available.
The article emphasises that authorities must distinguish between peaceful participants and individuals who engage in violence or unlawful conduct. The actions of a few should not automatically become grounds for suppressing an entire peaceful gathering. Postal study for the purpose of postal exams | 1 261 |

| 10 | Improvement in Promotional Opportunities
An important component of the review is the assessment of existing promotional avenues and career progression opportunities available to Postal Service Group ‘B’ officers.
The committee will examine whether the current promotional structure provides adequate opportunities for advancement and recommend suitable changes wherever necessary. 6. Recruitment Pattern and Promotional Hierarchy
The committee will review existing recruitment arrangements, the promotional hierarchy and feeder cadres associated with Postal Service Group ‘B’. It will recommend appropriate modifications, if required, to establish a more effective cadre structure. 7. Financial and Administrative Implications
Any proposed restructuring must also take into account its administrative feasibility and financial implications. The committee has therefore been directed to endeavour to keep its recommendations financially prudent.
It will also consult the concerned divisions, Postal Circles and other stakeholders wherever necessary before finalising its recommendations. Significance for IP/ASP and Postal Service Group ‘B’ Officers
A comprehensive cadre review provides an opportunity to examine the relationship between sanctioned strength, functional responsibilities and career progression.
For officers in the IP/ASP line and Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre, the review may help identify structural issues affecting manpower deployment, promotional avenues and the distribution of responsibilities.
The examination of comparable cadres and divisional leadership roles is particularly relevant to ensuring that officers are deployed effectively according to their experience, skills and organisational requirements.
At the same time, the committee’s recommendations will need to balance the career aspirations of officers with the Department’s operational needs, administrative priorities and financial considerations. Three-Month Timeline for Submission of Report
The Office Memorandum directs the committee to submit its report within three months from 9 July 2026. The committee may consult relevant divisions, Postal Circles and subject-matter experts as part of its examination.
The report is expected to provide recommendations on cadre structure, manpower utilisation, recruitment, promotional hierarchy and career progression, in accordance with the applicable cadre review guidelines. Conclusion
The constitution of the committee marks an important administrative step towards reviewing the cadre structure of the IP/ASP line, including the Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre.
By examining sanctioned strength, functional requirements, promotional avenues and the impact of emerging business and technological developments, the exercise seeks to support a more effective and future-ready organisational structure for the Department of Posts.

The Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications, Government of India, has constituted a committee to undertake a comprehensive cadre review of the Inspector Posts (IP)/Assistant Superintendent of Posts (ASP) line, including the Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre. The initiative aims to review the existing organisational structure, assess manpower requirements and examine opportunities for improving career progression in accordance with the cadre review guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
The decision was communicated through an Office Memorandum issued by the Personnel Establishment-II Section of the Department of Posts on 9 July 2026, with the approval of the competent authority. The committee has been directed to submit its report within three months from the date of issue of the memorandum. Committee Composition
The committee comprises senior officers representing personnel administration, field operations, establishment planning and business functions.
The composition is as follows: •Shri K. Prakash, Member (Personnel) — Chairperson •Shri D.S.V.R. Murthy, Chief Postmaster General, Telangana Circle — Member •Ms. N.R. Visalatchy, Postmaster General, Headquarters Region, Hyderabad — Member •Shri Dushyant Mudgal, Deputy Director General (Establishment & Planning) — Member and Convener •Shri Neeraj Kumar Jha, General Manager (Operations II, Parcel & CCS Directorate) — Member •Shri Prateek, Director Postal Services (Headquarters & Mail Marketing), Jammu & Kashmir Circle — Member
The committee is also empowered to co-opt officers from other divisions and circles or invite subject-matter experts, wherever necessary, to support its work. Key Objectives of the Cadre Review
The committee has been entrusted with examining the existing sanctioned strength and cadre structure of the Postal Service Group ‘B’ cadre at all levels, taking into account the Department’s operational and administrative requirements.
The review will focus on the following major areas: 1. Review of Existing Cadre Structure
The committee will assess the existing cadre composition and sanctioned posts to determine whether the current structure adequately meets the Department’s administrative and operational needs. 2. Assessment of Emerging Business and Technological Requirements
With India Post expanding its role in logistics, parcel services, financial services and technology-driven operations, the committee will examine how these changing requirements affect staffing patterns, responsibilities and cadre design.
The review will consider the Department’s digital transformation and other strategic initiatives while assessing future manpower needs. 3. Rationalisation and Redistribution of Posts
The committee will examine the need for creating, abolishing, upgrading, downgrading, redeploying or redistributing posts. These measures are intended to support organisational priorities and promote optimum utilisation of available manpower. 4. Review of Roles and Responsibilities
The committee will examine the roles and responsibilities of comparable cadres, including the IP/ASP cadre and Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’ Divisional Heads.
It will explore possibilities for more effective deployment and utilisation of officers in line with the Department’s functional requirements. 5. [...] | 567 |

The integration of different cadres requires a clear and transparent approach to determining seniority.
The committee recommends preparing combined gradation lists separately for LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I after the initial supervisory posts have been filled and the proposed merger arrangements have been finalised.
The report proposes that the Directorate’s concerned divisions examine the applicable rules and finalise the modalities for determining seniority among existing Postal, RMS and CO/RO officials.
For fresh recruitment, seniority would be determined in accordance with the revised unified Recruitment Rules and the applicable departmental guidelines.
The finalisation of seniority arrangements will be an important step in ensuring that the proposed common promotional structure operates fairly across the different streams. 8. Redefining the Role of Supervisory Officials
The committee recommends redesigning work norms so that supervisory officials continue to remain connected with operational activities while exercising effective oversight.
The proposed distribution between operational and supervisory responsibilities is:
Grade Operational Work Supervisory Work HSG-I 25% 75% HSG-II 50% 50% LSG 75% 25% Time Scale 100% 0%
Under this model, the supervisory component would increase with each promotion, while officials would retain an appropriate level of operational involvement.
The report notes that postal counter operations, mail sorting, parcel handling and administrative support remain essential to the Department’s functioning. It therefore recommends identifying suitable operational responsibilities for supervisory posts rather than treating them exclusively as oversight positions.
This approach is intended to strengthen accountability while ensuring that supervisors remain familiar with workplace realities. 9. Strengthening Supervision in Emerging Operational Areas
The committee identifies several areas where enhanced supervisory capacity may be required, including Parcel Hubs, National Sorting Hubs, Intra-Circle Hubs, Transit Mail Offices, Business Post Centres, BNPL Hubs and Integrated Delivery Centres.
The report also highlights the importance of effective supervision in handling sensitive consignments, including examination materials and government identity documents.
Within Circle and Regional Offices, it recommends strengthening supervision in branches dealing with staff matters, recruitment, vigilance, legal affairs, investigation, stores, procurement and public grievance redressal.
These recommendations seek to align supervisory deployment with the Department’s changing operational responsibilities and the need for secure, reliable and accountable service delivery. 10. Financial and Administrative Considerations
The committee has emphasised the need to ensure that cadre restructuring is functionally justified and financially sustainable.
The report observes that many employees already receive higher pay levels through the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme while continuing to work in lower substantive grades.
On this basis, the committee considers that the proposed upgradation of 1,565 supervisory posts would not impose an additional financial burden of the kind that might otherwise arise from expanding the establishment, as expenditure on higher pay levels is already being incurred through financial upgradations.
The proposal focuses on better utilisation and redistribution of existing posts, improved supervisory coverage and more balanced career progression, while safeguarding the operative workforce. Postal study for the purpose of postal exams | 509 |
| 13 | According to the committee, these measures would improve supervision, accountability and career opportunities in units that have experienced prolonged promotional stagnation. 3. New Promotion Structure for Better Career Progression
The committee proposes a more balanced promotional hierarchy across the unified cadre.
The recommended ratio among supervisory grades is: HSG-I : HSG-II : LSG : India Post Associate = 1 : 3 : 9 : 27
This structure is intended to provide a broader feeder pool for promotions, reduce vacancies in higher grades and establish a more systematic progression pathway.
The report highlights that prolonged stagnation has affected RMS and CO/RO officials, with some officials spending more than 20 years before reaching LSG. It also observes that a significant number of higher supervisory posts remain vacant because eligible officials are not available in the required feeder grades.
The proposed restructuring seeks to address these imbalances by increasing the availability of posts at appropriate levels and improving the flow of promotions. 4. Additional Career Advancement Opportunities
The committee has proposed further measures to strengthen career progression within the supervisory hierarchy.
These include:
* Earmarking 25% of HSG-I posts as Non-Functional Grade (NFG), subject to taking up a proposal with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
* Designating 20–30% of LSG posts as Senior India Post Associates (LSG-SIPAs).
* Revising Recruitment Rules to establish a single entry point into the proposed unified cadre.
* Reviewing training programmes to support officials moving between different functional streams.
These are recommendations requiring the necessary examination, approvals and implementation arrangements. 5. Priority for Filling Additional Posts in RMS and CO/RO
The report recommends a staged approach to filling the newly upgraded supervisory posts.
In the initial stage, eligible officials belonging to the existing RMS and CO/RO cadres would be considered for the 1,565 additional or upgraded posts. The committee proposes that this exercise should be completed on a priority basis to bring promotional opportunities in these streams closer to those available on the Postal side.
After the initial vacancies are filled and the supervisory grades are unified, subsequent vacancies would be filled from eligible feeder grades within the unified cadre.
The report also suggests examining a one-time relaxation of the prescribed qualifying service for promotions to HSG-II and HSG-I, reducing it to 50% of the existing requirement—three years in the feeder grade for each promotion. This would require consideration and approval by the competent authority.
Other proposed measures include temporarily downgrading unfilled higher-grade posts to facilitate promotions from feeder grades and adjusting any remaining unfilled supervisory vacancies against available entry-grade vacancies, subject to the proposed arrangements. 6. Common Recruitment Rules and Training Framework
To support the proposed unified cadre, the committee recommends revising the Recruitment Rules to provide a single entry point under the India Post Associate designation.
The report also proposes a comprehensive review of induction and mid-career training programmes.
A common foundation course would familiarise new recruits with the functions and processes of different departmental units. Role-specific refresher training could then be provided according to the place of posting and the nature of the duties assigned.
For serving officials transferred between Post Offices, RMS and Circle/Regional Offices, targeted refresher programmes are proposed to help them adapt to new responsibilities.
The committee suggests that the training framework should reflect the changing operational environment, including digital systems, parcel and logistics services, administrative functions and technology-e[...] | 534 |

India Post Cadre Restructuring 2026: Unified India Post Associate Cadre and 1,565 Supervisory Posts Proposed
India Post Cadre Restructuring: Committee Proposes Unified India Post Associate Cadre and 1,565 Additional Supervisory Posts Major proposals aim to address promotion stagnation, strengthen supervisory structures in RMS and Circle/Regional Offices, and create a unified career progression framework across India Post. Download Supervisory Posts Proposed
The Department of Posts has taken an important step towards reviewing its workforce structure with the submission of the Part-I Recommendations Report of the Committee on Cadre Restructuring of Postal Assistant (PA), Sorting Assistant (SA), Lower Selection Grade (LSG), Higher Selection Grade-II (HSG-II) and Higher Selection Grade-I (HSG-I) posts. The report covers Post Offices, Railway Mail Service (RMS), and Circle/Regional Offices (CO/RO), proposing a unified cadre structure intended to improve career progression, strengthen supervision and address long-standing organisational imbalances.
The committee, chaired by Shri K. Prakash, Chief Postmaster General, Karnataka Circle, with Shri G. Natarajan, Postmaster General, Chennai City Region, Tamil Nadu Circle, and Ms. Kaiya Arora, Director Postal Services, Mumbai Region, Maharashtra Circle, as members, examined existing cadre structures, vacancies, promotion patterns, functional requirements and financial implications.
The report seeks to align the Department’s human-resource structure with its evolving operational responsibilities, including technology-enabled services, parcel and logistics operations, and expanding citizen-service delivery. 1. Proposal to Create a Unified “India Post Associate” Cadre
One of the principal recommendations is to merge the Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant cadres into a unified cadre provisionally referred to in the report as India Post Associate (IPA).
The committee proposes that the merger should take place in stages. The entry-level PA and SA cadres would be integrated first, followed by the merger of supervisory grades—LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I—after the additional supervisory posts are filled and the arrangements for inter-se seniority, Recruitment Rules and related matters are finalised.
The proposed integration aims to reduce differences in career progression between Postal, RMS and CO/RO officials while creating a common framework for personnel management.
The committee also recommends relaxing restrictions on cross-cadre mobility under Rule-38 transfers at the entry level. This would facilitate movement among PA (Post Office), SA and PA (CO/RO) streams and help establish a transitional framework for eventual cadre integration. 2. Proposal to Upgrade 1,565 Supervisory Posts
A major recommendation concerns strengthening supervisory capacity, particularly in RMS and Circle/Regional Offices, where the committee identified gaps in the existing supervisory structure.
The report proposes the upgradation of approximately 1,565 posts from Time Scale to supervisory grades, comprising:
* 1,404 posts in Railway Mail Service (RMS)
* 161 posts in Circle/Regional Offices (CO/RO)
The committee proposes that the overall supervisory strength should constitute 31.58% of the unified cadre. It also recommends increasing the supervisory share in RMS and CO/RO to 16.66% of their respective existing cadre strengths, while maintaining the existing supervisory percentage on the Postal side.
The identification and allocation of these posts would be undertaken by the respective Circles based on functional requirements and manpower deployment. The report emphasises that the operative strength required for front-line postal services and mail handling should not be adversely affected.

The Committee has also emphasised that the identification and upgrading of supervisory posts must not adversely affect the operative strength required for the regular functioning of Post Offices, RMS units and administrative establishments. Proposed Career Progression Structure
To establish a balanced promotional hierarchy, the Committee recommends maintaining the following ratio among supervisory grades:

India Post Cadre Restructuring 2026: PA/SA Merger, 1,565 Additional Supervisory Posts and Better Promotion Opportunities
India Post Cadre Restructuring: A Major Proposal for Unified Cadre and Better Career Progression Committee Recommends Merger of PA/SA Cadres, 1,565 Additional Supervisory Posts and a Unified Career Progression Structure Download Promotion Opportunities
The Department of Posts has taken an important step towards addressing long-standing issues relating to cadre imbalance, promotional stagnation and unequal career progression through a comprehensive cadre restructuring proposal. The Comprehensive Report of the Committee on Cadre Restructuring of Postal Assistants (PA), Sorting Assistants (SA), Lower Selection Grade (LSG), Higher Selection Grade-II (HSG-II) and Higher Selection Grade-I (HSG-I) presents a framework aimed at improving organisational efficiency and providing more equitable promotional opportunities across Post Offices, Railway Mail Service (RMS) and Circle/Regional Offices (CO/RO).
The report examines the existing cadre structure, vacancies, workload, functional responsibilities and promotional avenues, while considering the changing operational requirements of India Post. Background of the Cadre Restructuring Exercise
Cadre restructuring has been a long-standing demand within the Department of Posts. The Shri V. P. Singh Committee, constituted in 2014, recommended a revised structure comprising 65% operative posts and 35% supervisory posts to address stagnation and improve promotional opportunities.
Following these recommendations, cadre restructuring was implemented on the Postal side in May 2016, creating additional supervisory positions in LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I grades. However, similar restructuring in RMS and Circle/Regional Offices could not be extended at that time due to the requirement for detailed functional justification.
Consequently, employees in RMS and administrative offices continued to face comparatively limited promotional avenues. The present Committee undertook a comprehensive review to address these disparities and develop a more balanced structure across the Department. Merger of Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant Cadres
One of the major recommendations is the merger of the entry-level Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant cadres into a unified cadre proposed to be known as the India Post Associate Cadre.
The Committee proposes that the merger of PA and SA at the entry level should be the first step towards cadre unification. The merger of supervisory grades—LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I—would follow after the additional supervisory posts are filled and the necessary arrangements relating to inter-se seniority, Recruitment Rules and other implementation requirements are finalised.
The report also recommends relaxing restrictions on cross-cadre mobility under Rule 38 transfers at the entry level to facilitate the gradual integration of officials working in Post Offices, RMS and Circle/Regional Offices.
The proposed unified structure is intended to improve manpower utilisation, promote functional mobility and provide more consistent career progression opportunities across the three streams. Proposal for 1,565 Additional Supervisory Posts
Another significant recommendation is the rationalisation of supervisory strength across the unified cadre.
The Committee proposes approximately 1,565 additional or upgraded supervisory posts, primarily to strengthen RMS and Circle/Regional Offices, where supervisory structures are comparatively limited.
Under the proposed arrangement, the supervisory strength in RMS and CO/RO would be increased to 16.66% of their respective existing cadre strengths. The overall supervisory share of the unified cadre is proposed to increase to 31.58%.
