This office memorandum from the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension, Department of Personnel & Training outlines a revision to the procedure for cadre clearance when officers shift between Central Staffing Scheme (CSS) posts and non-CSS posts. Previously, cadre clearance was not required for such shifts. However, due to difficulties faced by State Governments in cadre management, it has now been decided that cadre clearance from the parent cadre will be mandatory for shifts between CSS and non-CSS posts, as these shifts can entail an additional two years of central deputation. The instructions are effective prospectively and are to be noted by all State Governments for information and necessary action.
