This document outlines the revised policy and procedure for handling appointments to posts under the non-Central Staffing Scheme, particularly concerning the cancellation of appointments and the debarment of candidates. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has directed that existing guidelines for debarment, originally for Autonomous/Statutory/Regulatory bodies, will now extend to all non-CSS posts, including those in attached, subordinate, and ex-cadre positions. This ensures uniformity across various government entities. The updated procedure, building on previous directives, clarifies the steps to be taken when selected candidates do not join their posts, including seeking consent before proposal submission, issuing appointment offers with a specific joining period, and following a notice period before debarment. The period of debarment for candidates is set at 3 years, preventing their consideration for other government appointments, with a provision for listing such debarred individuals.
