Promotion Policy for Officers – Relaxation  to  Lady Officers for undergoing Rural/Semi-urban service.      

CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS NO.8 OF 2016                                                      10th June,2016

Dear Members,

Re: Promotion Policy for Officers – Relaxation  to Lady Officers for undergoing Rural/Semi-urban service.                                  

----o0o----

As you are aware, in terms of Promotion Policy for Officers in vogue, there is a mandatory requirement of completion of -2- years of continuous service in rural area for promotion   from JM G/S:I to MM G/S:II and a total service of -3- years in rural/semi-urban areas including the rural service in JM G/S:I  for promotion from MM G/S:II to MM G/S:III.

Of late, it has been observed that on account of various commitments towards family and non-availability of vacancies at the nearby rural centres, the lady officers have been reluctant and not opting for promotions to higher grades/scales. We have also been getting representations from lady officers in this regard.

This issue was discussed in the meeting held between the Bank and the Sub-Committee of our Association on Promotion Policy. We are happy to inform that the Bank has agreed to make the following amendment to Promotion Policy:

“.....there shall be no mandatory requirement of completion of the -2- years rural service for lady officers for promotion from JM G/S:I to MM G/S:II and -3- years of rural/semi-urban service (including -2- years of rural service in  JM G/S:I) for promotion from MM G/S:II to MM G/S:III. However, such lady officers will have to complete the required rural/semi-urban tenure of -3- years as mentioned above, to be eligible for promotion beyond Scale:III.”

The above amendment to the Promotion Policy shall be applicable from the ongoing Promotion Exercise for the year 2016-17 onwards. As a result, the lady officers will not be required to undergo rural/semi-urban service for promotions upto MM G/S:III and they will also  be able to cope up with the family commitments/responsibilities alongwith the career progression upto MM G/S:III in our Bank.

With greetings,

 Yours sincerely,
