This office memorandum addresses the increasing issue of selected candidates for positions in Autonomous Bodies/Statutory Organisations/Regulatory Bodies not joining after giving their consent. To streamline the process, it’s mandated that Ministries/Departments obtain consent from candidates before forwarding proposals to the ACC. Upon ACC approval, an offer of appointment with a 30-day joining period will be issued. If the candidate fails to join within this timeframe, a 15-day notice will be issued, clearly stating the consequences of debarment. Should the candidate still not join or express unwillingness, the case will be presented to the ACC for debarment orders. The period of debarment will be three years, barring the candidate from consideration in all such bodies, except for the one to which they initially belonged. Both the concerned Ministry/Department and the ACC Secretariat will maintain a list of debarred candidates.
