One Day, One Minute, One Rule -– 64
64. What clarification was provided regarding the eligibility of senior Inspector of Posts (IP) candidates to appear in the PS Group 'B' Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) when a junior IP is eligible?
The memorandum, dated December 26, 2019, with the number No. 9-36/2019-SPG-II, addresses a scenario where some junior IP candidates have completed the required five years of regular service and are eligible for the LDCE, while some senior candidates are not.
The document references a Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Office Memorandum which states that to avoid a situation where senior officers are left out, if a junior officer has met the eligibility condition for promotion, their senior should also be allowed to appear in the exam. This is provided that the senior officer is not short of the required qualifying service by more than half of the service or two years, whichever is less, and has completed their probation period. The document specifically mentions the LDCEs for 2018 and 2019, which were scheduled to be held on January 19, 2020.
