O.M.No.14/11/95-JCA, dated 6-12-1995

 
Subject:   Instructions regarding action to be taken for non-wearing of uniforms.

  

        Group ‘C’/’D’ employees, viz., Helper, Farash, Staff Car Driver, Despatch Rider, etc., who are given uniform are expected to wear their respective uniforms while on duty, failing which may be dealt with disciplinary action. In this connection, through this Department’s O.M. No. 19/4/86-JCA, dated the 1st April, 1992 and 21st September, 1993, clear guidelines have been issued, in which the Departments are advised to ensure that the employees wear uniform while on duty.

        Relevant instructions are once again given for reference-

  1. Practice of special periodical parades for the employees may be initiated So that it may be easier to observe whether the particular employee is in respective uniform or not. Inspecting Officer of suitable cadre need be nominated to take proper action in such cases. This Inspection Officer can ask written reports from the officer whom the employees are working with.

  2. If any employee is found regularly not wearing uniform, along with suitable disciplinary action, his supply of uniform for future will also be stopped.

  3. Action on the matter may be taken in the presence of respective Associations/Representatives of office councils, so that the employees wear uniform while on duty.

        In spite of issue of continued instructions, situation is found no way better in this matter, as most of the employees attend to office without wearing uniform.

        In view of the instructions, Ministry/Department may take stock of the situation and suitable steps may be ensured to be taken for the employees to wear uniform while on duty.

Undertaking to be obtained.---***

2.*** All staff who are supplied uniforms/granted Washing Allowance should furnish an undertaking that they will report for duty in the uniforms supplied to them. In the event of non-receipt of written undertaking, further supply /payment of Washing Allowance will be stopped.

3.    Ministries/Departments may bring the instructions to the notice of all concerned for necessary compliance.
