Cadre Restructuring notification and after.

Dear comrades,

It has been informed by the CHq that the DPCs consequent to CR notification can be effected after the Recruitment Rules are finalized. Discussions are on with the CBDT for its early finalization. All efforts are being made by the CHq to notify the same in the month of April itself.

The vacancy position in Kerala after CR is as under:

Eligible persons waiting for EA promotion is only 16. Number of vacancies is more than 200 [Addl. post + existing vacancies].
Eligible persons for IIT is 99. The vacancies come to the following:
ITO consequential                       : 36 [2 will remain vacant as there are no ST candidates]
Addl. Vacancy                             : 140
Regular vacancy                          : 13
Inter charge appln. forwarded    : 8
TOTAL VACANCY                       : 197

Apart from this, there is one SC vacancy and a few ST vacancies remaining unfilled. Also, a few more vacancies might arise consequent to AC promotion.
The number of vacancies that will be available to general candidates for RY 2013-14 & 2014-15 taken together will be 102, plus or minus a few. So probably, almost all the STAs who have completed 3 years as on 1.1.2014 and cleared IIT exam will be promoted.
Please note that the figures are tentative as they might undergo slight changes while determining the actual reservation component.

Regarding relaxation of eligibility criteria, the same will be taken up, if, after the DPCs, it is found needed on an all India basis.

Apprehensions were raised by a few comrades regarding the fate of Office Superintendents who have not passed ITI examination and have little chance of being promoted to the post of AO, as they fear that it will a de-facto demotion for them to be re-designated EA. When this matter was brought to the notice of the Secretary General, it was assured that the CHq is fully aware of the issue and efforts were on to make CBDT agree to granting supervisory duties to 10% of the EAs.

Fraternally,

GS
