This memorandum outlines the approved procedures for the appointment of officers to the Director, Census Operations (DCO) post under the Central Staffing Scheme (CSS). Key decisions include that the post will continue to be filled under CSS, with only half the tenure on the post counting towards central deputation if held on a full-time basis. Officers can apply for central deputation before their DCO term ends, provided they have the RGI’s NOC and stay within the 7-year cadre limit, similar to officers from LBSNAA. Upon completing their DCO term, officers can also apply for central deputation without further cadre clearance, again subject to the 7-year limit. If an officer is repatriated by the State Government before their tenure ends, no extended cooling-off period will be applied. Furthermore, after three years as DCO, an officer can return to their cadre with the RGI’s NOC and ACC approval, without an extended cooling-off period. These changes are also applicable to officers currently on central deputation who have served as DCO, and waivers will be provided if extended cooling-off periods are inconsistent with this new policy.
