As per Government of India orders on Downsizing of Central Government Services,
Screening Committee for filling up/aboliotion of posts was constituted in the
year 2001 and Annual Direct Recruitment (ADR) plan was approved by the
Screening committee for each year from 2001 to 2008. Screening Committee
cleared only 1/3rd vacancies for direct recruitment and balance 2/3rd posts
were abolished as per its recommendations.
Accordingly Department of Posts abolished 2/3rd vacant posts from 2001 to
2004. Regarding the abolition of 2/3 rd vacant posts from 2005 to 2008,
Postal Department & Communication Ministry requested Finance Ministry to
grant exemption to Department of Posts from abolishing the vacant posts from 2005
to 2008, as it is an operative Department dealing with the general public and
customers. 2/3rd posts earmarked for abolition from 2005 to 2008 are kept
vacant (but not abolished) pending decision of the Finance Ministry.
The ban on recruitment was lifted and the Screening Committee was abolished in
the year 2009. Government of India issued orders to fill up all
vacant posts for the year from 2009 onwards. Accordingly, Department of
Posts, issued orders to fill up all vacancies for the year 2009 and 2010.
Orders are also issued to fill up all vacant posts for the year 2011 and
2012. But, at the same time, Directorate issued clear instructions to all
Chief PMGs that posts kept vacant for the year from 2005 to 2008 should not
be filled up under any circumstances but should be kept vacant. (for
abolition).
Finance Ministry has now made it clear that no permission or exemption will be
granted to any department including Department of Posts to fill up the posts
kept earmarked for abolition as per the Screening Committee
recommendations. Accordingly Department of Posts has now issued orders to
abolish all the 2/3rd vacant posts (Total 17093 posts for four years) for the
year 2005 to 2008. Cadrewise break-up figure of the posts to be abolished is
