What Is the Civil Wing of India Post?
Many candidates preparing for the India Post Departmental Exam are not aware of this branch. Here is a simple explanation:
- India Post has its own Civil Wing and Electrical Wing under the Chief Engineer at Dak Bhawan, New Delhi.
- PCC stands for Postal Civil Circle, which handles construction and maintenance of post office buildings, administrative offices and staff quarters.
- Postal Civil Circles are located in cities such as New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Patna, Kolkata and Bengaluru.
- Superintending Engineer (Civil) is a senior engineering post that supervises these works.
Why Departmental Employees Should Follow Such Orders
- Transfer and posting orders show the current vacancy position in the department.
- Vacant posts at higher levels usually create a chain of promotions and departmental exams at lower levels.
- Employees preparing for GDS to MTS, GDS to Postman / Mail Guard, MTS to PA, and Postman to PA should stay updated with India Post circulars and notifications to know when the next promotion exam is announced.
- Following official orders also helps you understand rules on charge report, TA/TP and own-cost transfers, which apply to every cadre.
