One Day, One Minute, One Rule -2
2. What are the different methods for filling vacancies for Postmen and Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants, and how are residual vacancies handled?
According to the Government of India's order dated May 15, 2007, the recruitment rules for Postmen specify that 50% of vacancies are to be filled by promotion from Group 'D' employees, or by Gramin Dak Sevaks if Group 'D' is not available. Of the remaining 50% of vacancies, 25% are to be filled by Gramin Dak Sevaks with at least 15 years of service based on seniority, and the other 25% by Gramin Dak Sevaks on the basis of merit in an examination. If vacancies still remain, they can be filled by Gramin Dak Sevaks from neighbouring Divisions or within the Region. Only after these options are exhausted can the residual vacancies be filled through direct recruitment via nominees from the Employment Exchange.
For Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants, 50% of vacancies are filled through direct recruitment, and the other 50% through a departmental examination for LGOs (Limited Departmental Competitive Examination). If these vacancies remain unfilled after the LGO examination, they are offered to Gramin Dak Sevaks who meet the prescribed age and educational qualifications. Any remaining residual vacancies are then filled by subsequent direct recruitment of open market candidates. The order clarifies that these residual vacancies, even if they are eventually filled by direct recruitment, do not come under the purview of the Screening Committee or Annual Direct Recruitment Plans. Circles are requested to identify these residual vacancies and fill them according to the Recruitment Rules.

Note: Due to this order, posts around 9,000 under residual vacancies were filled in 2009. This was the major achievement of me as the General Secretary of AIPEU Group C at that time
