2. It has been brought to the notice of Directorate that Gramin Dak Sevaks(GDS) selected for appointment to the post of PA/SA.Postman/Mail Guard/MTS, whether through examination or seniority, etc are allowed to join only after they are imparted prescribed training.
3. The matter has been examined in the Directorate. It is observed that Appointment of GDS to PA/SA/Postman/Mail Guard/MTS is treated as directed recruitment . Since direct recruits are being appointed straightaway after completing the pre-appointment formalities and sent for induction training Subsequently, to bring in parity, it has been decided to extend same facility to those GDSs who are selected for appointment as MTS/Postman/Mail Guard/PA/SA. Therefore, henceforth GDSs selected for appointment to the post of MTS/Postman/Mail Guard/PA/SA shall be appointed straightaway after completing pre-appointment formalities without waiting for completion of prescribed institutional training.

However, in case there is inordinate delay in their training and the competent authority in the circle satisfies that such officials could be entrusted with selective responsibilities their services may be utilized accordingly.
5. Appointing authorities shall ensure that the officials thus appointed under these instructions are sent for institutional training within one year of their joining.
