This Office Memorandum addresses the representations of Shri Vinod Kumar, a Section Officer in the Department of Commerce, regarding his request for ad-hoc promotion while undergoing training at NIFM, Faridabad. The document clarifies the policy regarding ad-hoc promotions for CSS officers undergoing training, stating that only those on mandatory training linked to their promotion are eligible for a technical joining during training. Since Shri Kumar is on a long-term training program not directly linked to promotion, his request for technical joining upon promotion to Under Secretary is denied, and his previous promotion order is cancelled. He will be considered for ad-hoc promotion when he becomes available. The memorandum also references previous Office Memorandums outlining this policy and specifies the distribution list for the communication.
