[S. No.] 5 [Points raised] For initial appointment against Postmaster Grade-III, it is mentioned in the Recruitment Rules that officials holding the posts of HSG.I on regular basis in the PB-2 of RS.9300- ad34800/- + GP Rs.4600/- shall be given option. But some of the regular HSG.II officials are officiating in HSG.I cadre on adhoc basis in accordance with Directorate's letter No.4- 16/2002-SPB.1I dated 20.11.2006 and 4-16/2002- SPB.II, dated 01.05.2009 The arrangement is being continued since 3 years on the orders of the Directorate on gelling the approval of DOPT once in 6 months. It may be clarified as to whether such officials are eligible for appointment against Postmaster Grade-III or they are eligible for Postmaster Grade-II only. [Clarification] 
As per the initial constitution Clause of Postmaster Grade-III, only regular HSG.I (General line) officials are eligible to opt for appointment in the Postmaster Grade-III. Those who are holding the post of HSG.I on ad-hoc basis are not eligible to opt for appointment as Postmaster Grade III. They are eligible to apply for the post of Postmaster Grade-II only. Similarly, those who are holding the post of HSG.II on ad-hoc basis are eligible to apply for the post of Postmaster Grade-I. In this context, the Directorate's letter of even number dated 7/8.02.2011 may also be referred to.
