Dear Comrades,
ALLOTMENT OF STAFF QUARTERS TO PMS/SPMS-REGARDING.
D.G. Posts No. 18-9/2010-Bldg. dated 10.05.2012. (Addressed to All the Heads of Postal Circles)
           
 I am directed to refer to the department’s letter of even no. dated 
28.03.2011, enclosing herewith instructions issued vide letter no. 
7-6/99-Bldg. dated 13/14.12.2001. The part (C) of the instructions 
pertains to ‘allotment of post attached/rent free residential accommodation’.
 2.        
 It has been brought to the notice of the Department that in some 
circles, there has been resentment among the PMs/SPMs on being forced to
 accept quarters that are not in the premises of post offices, as post 
attached quarters. The matter has been under consideration in the 
Department for some time.
3.        
 It is hereby clarified that the quarters, which are within the 
premises/building of the post offices, need only be declared as post 
attached quarters; which the PMs/SPMs are bound to occupy. However, in 
other cases, i.e. quarters which are not in the premises/building of the
 post office, it may be left to the discretion of the concerned Pos/SPMs
 whether to accept or not accept such quarters.
4.         This may kindly be brought to the notice of all concerned for information, guidance and necessary action.
5.         This issues with the approval of Member (Planning).
