OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Due/proper intimation of ad-hoc/in-situ
promotion to officers belonging to CSS/CSSS/CSCS who may be on
deputation/foreign service to another Ministry/Department/Organisation.
As
the Ministry of Agriculture, etc. are aware promotion on an ad-hoc/in-situ basis
is granted in the interest of Government’s working. This ad-hoc/in-situ
promotions may also be necessitated, inter alia, due to urgent requirement to
fill up the post in higher grade, non-declaration of results of various
examinations conducted by the UPSC/SSC or protracted litigations.
2. While
ad-hoc promotions are resorted to, it is found that some of the officers who
might have been eligible for such promotions are on deputation to other
Ministries/Organisations. It has come to the notice that the parent
Ministry/Cadre do not take due precaution and thereby fail in informing the
concerned officer who is on deputation/foreign service about such ad-hoc
promotion and offer him a chance to revert for getting this ad-hoc promotion.
This has resulted in several litigations and has started causing complications.
3. In
the above background, all Ministries/Departments are requested to ensure that
due/proper intimation is given to the officers/employees who have been on
deputation and who are likely to get ad-hoc promotion. They may also be given a
chance to revert within a period of one month – which may be extended upto 3
months, if the officer is interested in ad-hoc promotion. This intimation may
also be communicated to the borrowing organization so that there is no amiss
for such intimation and that organization may make alternative arrangement
should the officer on deputation decided to revert.
4. Above
instructions may be brought to the notice of all concerned.
