The Department of Posts (Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant) Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 2024 revise eligibility criteria for certain posts. Key changes include:

1. Eligibility for Exams: Seniors can be eligible for Limited Departmental Competitive Examinations if they are only slightly short of the qualifying service required, provided they and the juniors were recruited similarly and held the same feeder cadre. Exceptions apply to those who lost seniority due to transfers under specific rules.

2. Omissions: Entries for Postal Assistants in Foreign Post Organisations and Savings Bank Control Organisations are removed.

These amendments standardize eligibility requirements and clarify conditions for senior officials seeking promotion.
