1. Representations/references have been received from individuals/various cadre units pointing out discrepancies in the list. As Common Seniority List for Select List-2003 comprising of 81 officials have already been issued vide OM No 20/53/2008-CS.II(B) dated 16th December, 2011, the name of these 81 officials have been deleted from draft CSL for SL-2003 (Extended) to finalize the CSL for SL-2003 (extended) to avoid duplication.

2. After taking into consideration all the representations, it has now been decided to finalize the Common Seniority List (CSL) for Select List of 2003 (Extended) (Annexed) with the approval of the competent authority. The Seniority of officials in SL-2003 (Extended) has been determined as per following principles:

(i) The Seniority of the officials has been assigned in terms of CSCS Rules, 1962 read with the Central Secretariat Clerical Services (Preparation of Common Seniority Lists) Regulation, 1971 on decentralized basis;

(ii) The officials from SQ have been assigned seniority as per their feeder grade seniority in their respective cadre units and the LDCE qualified candidates have been allotted seniority on the basis of their rank;

(iii) The officials have been placed in a block of four as far as possible (3 Senior most -SQ followed by Senior most LDCE) from same cadre unit apart from few exceptions as mentioned below;

(iv) Out of 360 blocks, officials of same cadre have been placed in the ratio 3:1 in 337 blocks as per their inter-se-seniority;

(v) As no one had qualified LDCE from D/o Fertilizers, 20 Senior most officials have been adjusted, as per their seniority, in slots where block of four was not possible from other cadre units;

(vi) In 17 blocks, where less than 4 officials are available for interpolation from same cadre units, Senior-most left out candidates from D/o Fertilizer, Food, Consumer Affairs, S&T and IP&P have been adjusted as per their seniority on the basis of first available slots. While doing so, inter-se-seniority of all the concerned cadre units has been maintained.

(vii) There are 5 blocks of less than 4 officials as sufficient number of SQ candidates were not available for interpolation;

(viii) There are 44 officials who were included in SL-2003 (Extended) but for whom either DPC has not been conducted by the respective cadre units or their cases have been kept in sealed cover. The slots have been left for these officials to accommodate them in future, if they are found fit by DPC or on opening of sealed cover as the case may be;

1. A large number of representations have been received for preparation of a centralized Common Seniority List on a centralized basis. In this context, it is stated that the cadre of UDC is a decentralized cadre and the Common Seniority List is prepared in terms of The Central Secretariat Clerical Services (Preparation of Common Seniority Lists) Regulation, 1971 which stipulates maintenance of inter se seniority of officials in the respective cadres while forming the list.
