Telangana Reorganises Its Sub-Divisions
From 1 November 2026, Telangana Postal Circle gets one new Sub-Division, Achampet, and four Sub-Divisions are merged into their neighbours. Unlike most circles, Telangana gets no new Division or Region. The change is about balancing Sub-Division workloads.
The Office Memorandum was issued by the Establishment Division, Dak Bhawan, on 12 October 2026. The number is Y-38/26/2026-PE-II-DOP, and it is signed by Shri Dushyant Mudgal, DDG (Establishment). It is part of the nationwide rationalization of postal units.

What Happens to Staff?
- Group B and C staff will be redeployed by the Head of Circle, in consultation with CIFA and the Region or Division.
- Willingness first: moves will be based, as far as possible, on willingness or request, to reduce cost and inconvenience.
- Only live posts can be moved, not “deemed to be abolished” ones.
- Group A officers: separate orders will come from the Postal Directorate.
- Until posts are moved: reorganised units will run through local arrangement or additional charge.
- No extra funds: costs will be met from the existing budget. A new inspection vehicle needs separate approval.
- One-year review: revenue and the Expense Coverage Ratio (ECR) will be compared after one year.
