 GURU'S DAILY INSIGHTS - 6. Seniority in Circle Gradation List                                                                                          

Ø  Circle Gradation list is issued every 6 years whereas Divisional Gradation list is issued every 3 years.

Ø  In accordance with DOPT OM no.20011/5/90-Estt(D) dated 04.11.1992, it is crystal clear as per Para (3) that seniority of a person regularly appointed to a post should be determined by the order of merit indicated at the time of initial appointment.

Ø  The said reservation roster/points are meant only for identifying the vacancy that goes to a particular category of officer and in no way acts as a determinant for fixation of seniority of the officer”

Ø  Hence, community under which employee is selected has nothing to do with in deciding position in DGL and it is that the merit marks that decides the seniority

Ø  Officials came under Rule 38 from other circles in a particular year are place under RRR candidates according to their date of joining ( Rule 38 of Vol IV)

Ø  As postulated in DOPT OM no. 22011/7/86-Estt (D) dated 03.07.1986, since the recruitment of Postal Assistant for the previous year is 50%(now 60%) by Direct Recruitment and 50% (40%) by LDCE, seniority should be fixed as DP,DR,DP,DR like wise.
