       In this connection this union would like to submit the following:-
1).  As per the Constitution of India, only 50% of the vacancies of PA/SA cadre are guaranteed for the direct recruitment to outsiders and the remaining 50% vacancies of PA/SA have to be filled up by the departmental officials by promotion.

2). The condition for direct recruitment, departmental promotion and subsequent promotion from GDS are as follows:-

              c). an additional condition of higher marks as 10% less the last recruitment 
instead of 40% of +2 as in the case of direct recruitment.

4).    It is not fair to specify both the conditions of direct recruitment and the departmental examination when the vacancies are the unfilled vacancies of department quota.  But in the case of offering the unfilled vacancies of deptl. quota to GDS not only all the available conditions were specified an additional condition of higher minimum marks also been fixed

          You are therefore, requested, kindly to do the needful for re-examination of the conditions prescribed for GDS officials on the principles and policies of Govt. of India for the general recruitment  and to make the conditions which are practically possible and reasonable as follows:-

         1. The age limit condition may be removed since minimum service condition of 3 years services have been fixed. At list age limit may be raised to 40 and 45 general and reservation respectively.

          2.  All GDS employees to appear for LGO examination promotion of PAs/SAs along with Postman, MSE etc. (i) Fill in GDS employees against the unfilled vacancies of LGO's, Among the GDS selections like LGOs Merit .

            An early action with a line in reply is highly appreciated.
