Cabinet nod for cadre review of Indian Postal Service

The Union cabinet on Wednesday granted ex-post facto approval to the proposal for undertaking a cadre review of the Indian Postal Service.

The cadre review will enable the Department of Posts to meet the functional requirements and strengthen the cadre structure both in the headquarters and in the field on the basis of functional requirement, an official release later said.

This will help to respond effectively to the customer needs, reduce the existing stagnation and improve the career prospects of Indian Postal Service officers.

The proposal will be implemented through measures that include creation of a post of DG (Postal Operations) in the Apex scale and also creation of post of additional DG (coordination) at various levels.

For undertaking this review necessary consultations have been made with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, the official source said.
