Sub:- (i)Rotational Transfer/(ii)Posting Policy for officials granted financial up gradation         u             Under modified Assured  career Progression Scheme (MACPS)-Reg

Sir/Madam,

                         I am directed tom say that D/O Posts has been following the policy of Rotational Transfers for the last many years and every year guidelines used to be issued for the field units as to the manner in which these were to be effected .In super session of all the previous orders on the subject ,a new set of guidelines  were issued to regulate the rotational transfer of staff vide Dte letter No 69/4/79-SPB.I dated 12-11-1981 and 16-12-1981.The last policy guidelines were issued vide Dte letter No141-35/2001-SPB.II dated 11-04-2001 wherein it was stated that there was no deviation in the policy guidelines for rotational transfers issued for the  year 200-2001 for adopting the same for the year 2001-2002.It was further stated therein that in view of the well defined principles of rotational transfers in Department  and  provision of tenures and other administrative instructions ,annual issue of rotational transfer guidelines were being discontinued and changes in the existing policies would be communicated whenever necessary. Subsequently Directorate vide letter No 141-132/2009-SPBII dated 2-6-2009 issued instructions regarding retention of staff for implementation of Core Banking /solution in the Post Offices including SBCO staff and AOICO(SB).

2. Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) has been introduced vide Dte letter No 4-7/(MACPS)/2009-PCC dated 18-09-2009 whereby three financial upgradation of pay scales are permitted to the officials who were stagnated in their career for further regular promotion,after completion of 10,20 and 30 years respectively.It has been stated that the TBOP and BCR Schemes shall stand withdrawn w.e.f  1.9.2008.
3.  Demands have been raised m for issuing new  guidelines about utilization of MACP-I,MACP-2 and MACP-3 officials in the Postal Operative offices and in the Postal Divisional offices. The matter has been carefully considered in the light of Recruitment Rules and the objective of MACPscheme. MACP Scheme clearly states that on grant of  financial upgradation under the scheme,there shall be no basis. Thus, those who they would continue to function granted ACP, change in the designation, classification or higher status. The financial up gradation would be on non-functional against their existing posts.
4.    However rotational transfers may continue to be made as per guidelines issued by the directorate from tome to time.

                                                                                                           Yours faithfully,
