new recruits have a better than fair chance to move up.
However the promotion policy is not very proactive and the minimum time
required for being promoted varies from 5-8 years.
Thus there are 2 paths for career advancements:
1. After gaining certain years of experience, AAOs can get promoted as
Administrative Officer (AO)Assistant Divisional Manager (ADM) Divisional
Manager Senior Divisional Manager Zonal Manager and so on.
2. There are also chances to move to other departments through internal posting
based on your performance / Inclination. There you can become Assistant Branch
Manager (ABM) and then Branch Manager (BM).
The various Departments are as follows:

Finance/Accounts

Some of these departments work at Zonal, Divisional & Central Office


Levels Only.
AAO`s may not engage in travelling but at times, they might have to visit certain
areas for follow up & not specifically for sales. Hence they could be posted in
specific departments within the organization & the responsibilities for each will
vary.
