Many employees want to work closer to home. Orders like this show that request transfers are possible in India Post, but they come without transfer allowances. It is good to keep this in mind while planning your career.
The best way to grow in India Post, whether you are in the Tamil Nadu Circle or any other circle, is through departmental promotion exams:
- GDS to MTS Departmental Exam
- GDS to Postman / Mail Guard Exam
- MTS to PA / SA Exam
- Postman to PA / SA Exam
Start early with good India Post Study Material, regular India Post Mock Tests, and India Post Previous Year Question Papers. Also keep reading India Post Circulars so you know the rules that affect your service.
