The Department announced the next Group B exam. As you know the department had not been granting LSG status since the introduction of the TBOP scheme. PAs having 5 years of service in TBOP were permitted to attend the Group B exam till 2006.After then they denied TBOP/BCR officials having more than 5 years from the Exam. Some have gone to court. In the court the department admitted that they have done mistake and pleaded the court that they (Department) should not be permitted to continue the so called mistake. The court agreed to that point.
still, there is a question as to what action has so far been taken by the department which denied the LSG/HSG promotions to its employees from 1983 to 2003 to consider the case of them in matters like appearing the Group B examinations, promoting to HSG II/I etc.

1.Even though LSG/HSG posts are kept vacant and manned effectively by those TBOP/BCR PAs (who are not eligible to atend a competitive exam like Group B exam !) why the department can not promote them?

2. At present granting LSG depends upon the availability of LSG posts. Why can't the eligible officials be promoted to LSG by delinking the availability of posts as the central govt had done away with the formalities of confirmation

3 The more the number of aspirants the more will be the chances to get the most capable Group B Officials to the Department.So why our department is afraid of the TBOP/BCR PAs.

4.Most of the LSG officials who can attend the Group B will not be attending the same for reasons unknown to me.

5. I am sure that the department is trying to hand over the 6% vacncies (now it is above 30) to the ASP/IPO line officials .

6. No PA above the age of 40 years (the maximum age limit for the IP exam is 40 years) can attend a competitive examination in our department and get his career improved.
IT IS TIME FOR AIPEU GROUP C TO ACT.
