The Central Government has issued the Indian Administrative Service (Regulation of Seniority) Amendment Rules, 2016, to modify the existing rules regarding the regulation of seniority within the Indian Administrative Service. These amendments clarify the calculation of weightage given for service rendered by officers, particularly concerning the equivalence to the post of Deputy Collector and the application of weightage based on years of service. The rules apply to officers appointed on the basis of Select Lists prepared for Non-State Civil Service Officers, adhering to the guidelines set by the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court in the Praveen Kumar’s case. The notification details specific changes to sub-rule (3) of rule 3 in the 1987 regulations, outlining how service weightage is calculated for different service durations (up to 12 years, between 12 and 21 years, and beyond 21 years). The notification also lists previous amendments to these rules with their respective dates. It is being circulated to State Governments, the Union Public Service Commission, and various secretariats and departments for information.
