New rules have been issued to amend the Central Administrative Tribunal Stenographers Service (Group ‘B’ and ‘C’ Posts) Recruitment Rules, 1989. These amendments, effective from their publication date, specifically modify the scope of columns referenced in the principal rules concerning recruitment. The updated rules detail the structure of the recruitment schedule, outlining various posts, including Private Secretary and Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’. For each post, the document specifies details such as the number of posts, classification, pay band and grade pay, eligibility criteria for direct recruits and promotees, age limits, and required educational qualifications. It also elaborates on the methods of recruitment, including direct recruitment through the Staff Selection Commission, promotion (with specific percentages and qualifying service requirements), and deputation or absorption. For promotion, the rules distinguish between different grades of Stenographers and Court Masters, outlining the service years and competitive examinations required. For deputation or absorption, criteria are set for officers holding analogous posts in Central Government, State Government, or High Courts, with specific service experience and age limits. The document also clarifies provisions regarding the computation of qualifying service, the effect of pay commission recommendations on service calculations, and the maximum age limit for appointment by deputation. It further details the composition of Departmental Promotion Committees for various categories and specifies when the Union Public Service Commission needs to be consulted. The amendments reference previous versions of the principal rules and their subsequent modifications.
