OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Implementation of orders relating to promotion of officers in various grades in CSS.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s Orders relating to adhoc promotion in various grades of CSS Cadre issued recently, as per the details below:
| S. No | Description | Order No. | Date of issue |
|---|---|---|---|
|
i |
Promotion of Deputy Secretaries to Director | 4/6/2018-CS-I(D) | 11.12.2020 |
|
ii |
Promotion of Under Secretaries to Deputy Secretaries | 4/5/2020-CS-I(D) | 11.12.2020 |
|
iii |
Promotion of Section Officers to Under Secretaries | /10/2020-CS.1(U) | 14.12.2020 |
2. These adhoc- promotion orders had to be made to address the urgent requirement of various cadre units for manpower at various levels. However, it is seen that a large number of officers have not joined at Director and Under Secretary level. It may be appreciated that adhoc promotion is resorted to as a special dispensation for ensuring efficiency in Government’s functioning. The non-joining of officers is defeating the very purpose for which these adhoc promotions were made.
