OFFICE MEMORANDUM

 

Sub:            Promotion of UDCs of Central Secretariat Clerical Service(CSCS) to the Assistant’s Grade  of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on ad-hoc basis.

…..

 

            The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department's O.M.  No.21/6/2004-CS.I dated 16.3.2004 and to say that it has, inter alia, been decided to make ad-hoc promotion from the grade of UDC of CSCS to the Assistant’s Grade of CSS of the following category: -

 

All UDCs upto Select List 1989 who still remain to be covered in the Select List for regular appointment to Assistants’ Grade of CSS

 

2.         All the Cadre Authorities are requested to consider the cases of above category of UDCs for ad-hoc promotion to the Assistant’s Grade and to issue promotion orders subject to their fitness and clearance from vigilance angle. 

 

3.         Ad-hoc promotion to the grade of Assistant will be subject to the following conditions: -

 

(i)         Ad-hoc promotions will be purely as a stop-gap measure and shall not confer any right to continue in the grade indefinitely or for inclusion in the Select List for regular appointment or to claim seniority in the Assistant’s grade.

 

(ii)        Ad-hoc arrangement may continue till regular candidates in Assistant Grade are available through Seniority Quota/Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE)/Direct Recruitment (DR).  In the event of the ad-hoc appointees not qualifying for regular appointment in any of these three categories, they will be reverted to the UD Grade of CSCS Grade on availability of such regular officers.

 

(iii)       Ad-hoc appointees in the grade of Assistant may continue to work in the same cadre until further orders.  They may, however, be transferred to the other cadres while allocating the revised strength in the grade of Assistant as a result of cadre restructuring of CSS or in the administrative exigencies.

 

(iv)       All the existing ad-hoc appointments in the grade of Assistant (excepting those UDCs of SCs & STs categories, who were appointed against the posts reserved for SCs/STs) which may have been made by the cadres either under their own delegated powers or with the concurrence of this Department will be terminated forthwith if the officers concerned do not figure in the list to be prepared and operated in accordance with the above instructions.

 

 (v)       The effective date of ad hoc promotion in respect of those found fit and clear from vigilance angle will normally be the date of issue of this O.M. in respect of those on duty (exception being those on leave, on deputation, under suspension, on whom some penalty may have been imposed and such other cases, in which Cadre authorities are satisfied having regard to circumstances of such cases that the effective date of promotion should be subsequent to the date of issue of this O.M.)

                                                                       


 

 

4.         It may further be stated that while this Department is taking necessary action to assess and allocate the revised strength in various grades including that of Assistant for each cadre, additional posts to the extent necessary to accommodate ad-hoc appointees as per the above scheme of things would be deemed to have been created in each administrative Ministry/Department.

 

5.         In case, there is a Ministry/Department where there is none available for ad-hoc promotion upto SL 1989 and some other UDCs beyond SL 1989 are continuing as Assistant on an ad-hoc basis, in that case also, the ad-hoc promotion (excepting those UDCs of SCs & STs categories, who are promoted against the posts reserved for SCs/STs) should be terminated forthwith and intimation sent to this Department so that an adequate number of ad-hoc appointees from other Ministries/Departments could be allocated.

 

6.         All the cadre authorities are requested to take necessary action in this regard urgently and keep this Department informed of the action taken.  In particular, following may be ensured: -

 

(i)                  Copies of promotion orders may be endorsed to this Department;

 

(ii)                Names of those UDCs considered but not found fit for promotion.

 

(iii)        Information in the format enclosed.

 

7.         The above exercise may please be carried out on ‘Top Priority’ and completed in one month’s time.

 

8.         A copy of this communication is also being endorsed to Financial Adviser of all the Ministries/Departments requesting them to instruct DDOs/Pay & Accounts Officers under their control so as to ensure that pay and allowances, etc. of the ad-hoc appointees in the grade of Assistants is drawn only in respect of those officers who are promoted in accordance with the above scheme of things.
