The undersigned is directed to say that ad-hoc promotions of officers of Grade-I (Under Secretary) of CSS to the Selection Grade (Deputy Secretary) are likely to be made shortly alongwith posting of some Directors of CSS on their return from leave etc..
2. As Officers are aware, this Department has proposed a revised rotational transfer policy in respect of CSS Officers. It has, therefore, been considered appropriate to decide posting of officers henceforth on transfer and on promotion as per the proposed policy, on the following parameters:
(i) Ministries /Departments are categorized into Group A and Group B for posting/ transfer. List of Ministries/Departments may be seen at Annex.X
(ii) The proposed RTP provides a tenure of five years for DS/Director in a Ministry/ Department, including continuous tenure rendered in any other designation in the same Ministry/ Department;
(iii) In Group A, certain Ministries qualify for a reduced tenure by one year.
(iv) An officer on transfer/ promotion shall ordinarily be posted from Group A $\rightarrow$ Group B and Group B $\rightarrow$ Group A as the case may be, if they have completed the prescribed tenure for the promotional post. Further, the officers presently posted in Group ‘A’ Ministries/Departments may opt for posting in the same Group. However, on posting to a Ministry/Department in Group ‘A’ the tenure will be counted afresh for five/four years as the case may be. However, this option will not be available to officers currently posted in Group ‘B’ to remain in Group ‘B’
(v) An officer who is to be transferred out from the current Ministry/Department on completion of prescribed tenure may also be allowed option for posting in a Ministry/Department where he earlier served subject to the condition that there is a gap of period which is equal to tenure prescribed for the post.
vi) Officers who are within two years of superannuation will be retained in the same Ministry/ Department if a vacancy in the promotional grade is available; In the absence of a vacancy such officer will be transferred out;
vii) Officers within six months’ of superannuation will not be posted out on promotion. In the absence of a vacancy of the promotional post, such officer will be adjusted in the same Ministry/ Department by personal upgradation of the post;
viii) For calculation of residency in a Ministry/ Department, 2 years/ six months for superannuation as the case may be, the last date of the month in which promotion order/ posting order is issued will be taken as the cut-off date; accordingly, for posting/ promotion in this round, the cutoff date has been taken as 30.04 .2015 .ix) The Placement Committee will decide posting of officers on the basis of seniority, preference, past postings etc.
3. The list of brief details of officers who are likely to be considered for promotion/posting is at Annexure-I. Information relating to vacancies in DS/Director grade of CSS as on 01.05.2015 is at Annexure-II.
4.
