While there is shortage of staff in the Department of Posts due to vacancies, it has not affected the Postal Services.
The actual number of regular employees in the Department of Posts and E.D., now known as Gramin Dak Sewaks, in the year 2000 and 2008 and reduction in their actual strength during the said period is as under:
S.No. | Category of work force | Actual work force in 2000 | Actual work force in 2008 | Reduction in work force |

The vacant posts are either to be filled up by promotion or by direct recruitment according to the provisions in the Recruitment Rules. The Departmental Promotion Committees meet periodically to fill up the posts by promotion. Also, Departmental Examinations are held regularly to fill up promotional posts wherever Departmental Examinations are prescribed. The vacancies meant to be filled up by direct recruitment are also being filled up in accordance with the policies of the Government.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Communications & Information Technology, Shri Gurudas Kamat in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
