A recent government resolution clarifies and amends the recruitment powers of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC). The SSC, originally constituted in 1975 as the Subordinate Services Commission and later re-designated, is responsible for recruiting for various Group ‘C’ non-technical posts. This amendment specifically grants the SSC the authority to directly recruit for Group ‘B’ (Gazetted) positions, including Assistant Accounts Officer and Assistant Audit Officer, within the Indian Audit and Accounts Department. These newly included posts fall under Pay Band 2, with a pay scale of Rs. 9300-34800 and a Grade Pay of Rs. 4800/-, marking a significant expansion of the SSC’s recruitment mandate.
