Request for Issuance of Orders on HSG-I (NFG) Pay Upgradation from Date of Eligibility

This is a representation letter dated 23 July 2026 from the BPRASA (Group B) Association to the Director General (Posts), New Delhi.

Key points:

• Subject: Request for immediate issuance of orders granting HSG-I (Non-Functional Grade) pay upgradation from the date of eligibility.
• Core grievance: The issue has remained unresolved for a long time, leading to unequal implementation across Postal Circles. DPCs (Departmental Promotion Committees) for HSG-I (NFG) are not being conducted timely in all circles.
• Impact: This causes seniority anomalies – a junior official from a circle with timely DPCs can surpass a senior official from a circle where DPCs are delayed, resulting in discrimination and hardship.
• Request: The Directorate is urged to issue a clear, reasoned, and speaking order on the entitlement to HSG-I (NFG) pay upgradation from the date of eligibility, ensuring uniform implementation across the department.
• Purpose: To ensure administrative consistency, fairness, and to avoid unnecessary litigation affecting both serving and retired officials.
