DG No. 8-4/2005-Inv dated 05-12-2012
Subject;: Tenure posting of officials in single handed &
double handed post offices preventive Vigilance measure.
Instructions
were issued vice this office letter dated 22-09-2005 to the effect that officials who had been
posted as SPM/PA in a single handed or double handed post office irrespective
of period of posting/completion of tenure should not be posted back to the same
office after a break. It was suggested that officials in single handed or
double handed post offices can have only one posting in the same single/double
handed PO during their service period. However, only in
respect of double handed post offices the CPMG/PMG were given the discretion to

vested with the Chief PMG/Regional PMG in respect of double handed SOs, was
extended in respect of single handed post offices also vide Directorate letter
