The best authentic source for Information is always RTI , Company Documents (Manual ), Officer’s words and union. And the above compiled information is a mixture of all three.

So who so ever got the postal inspector job .. Don’t worry it is very good job … Clear the exam and be an ASP just after 5 years….

The main thing is job profile keep on changing in every department.

People shouts here for income tax inspectors.

My friend is working in Mumbai as Income Tax inspector since last 1 year and from starting he has only 1 task – call the tax payers to fill their income tax returns . Seriously since last 1 year he is doing this job only – 0 Tax raid.May be after another year he might do something different.

Keep in mind that SSC jobs are all middle level jobs . No one will make u authority from day 1.For that crack upsc.

Here at SSC to UPSC we only say one thing get one job in ssc no matter what and then go further for UPSC with full confidence and 0 return policy.

And don’t just follow any website blindly especially when the content is same through all website . Work hard – Act smart and enjoy the beauty of life.
