The Department of Personnel and Training has issued an Office Memorandum regarding the regulation of tenure for officers on central deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme. The memo clarifies the process for seeking cadre clearance for appointments to non-CSS posts, particularly concerning officers moving between Central and non-Central Staffing Scheme posts. It also addresses the validity of cadre clearances issued by State Governments or Cadre Controlling Authorities, stating that a clearance for additional tenure within seven years will be treated as a general permission for that period, irrespective of the specific post mentioned in the clearance. These instructions are to be implemented prospectively.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Regulation of tenure of the officers on Central Deputation under Central Staffing Scheme – seeking Cadre Clearance for appointments to Non-CSS posts on ‘shift’ basis regarding. [Group ‘ $R$ ‘ Seide $]$
As per the Consolidated Deputation Guidelines circulated vide DoP\&T’s OM No. AB-14017/2/2007-Estl. (RR) dated 29.02.2008, the provision below Para 1.2 states that “if an officer moves from a Central Staffing Scheme post to a non-Central Staffing Scheme post, or viceversa, she/he shall be eligible for an additional tenure of two years, subject to at least two years on either post.”
2. It was subsequently decided vide this Department’s OM No. 31/20/2008-EO(MM-I) dated 09.03.2012 to make it necessary to obtain cadre clearance from the parent cadre for a shift from a Central Staffing Scheme post to a Non-Central Staffing Scheme post and vice versa as this entails an additional two years of central deputation.
3. In this regard, it has been observed that the State Governments/Cadre controlling Authorities are giving post-based cadre clearance and if an officer is not selected for that post and wishes to apply again, she/he has to again seek a fresh cadre clearance.
4. In view of above, the Competent Authority has now decided that once No-Objection / cadre clearance has been conveyed by the State Government/Cadre Controlling Authority for additional tenure within seven years, it would be treated as a general permission for the period rather than against any particular post. It would be treated as such not-withstanding the fact that the State Government/ Cadre Controlling Authority may have given the clearance for a specific post.
5. These instructions take prospective effect.
