SANCTION FOR HOLDING AN ELECTIVE OFFICE BY A GOVERNMENT SERVANT

Department of Personnel & Training has issued various instructions on sanctions for holding an elective office by the Central Government employees under Rule 15 of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964. The essence of various instructions in the matter has been summarized in the following paras for guidance and better understanding: –

1. No Government servant shall, except with the previous sanction of the Government, hold an elective office, or canvass for a candidate or candidates for an elective office, in any body, whether incorporated or not.

[Rule 15 (1) (c) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964]

2. The entire time of the Government servants should be available to the Government and no activities unconnected with his official duties should be allowed to interfere with the efficient discharge of his duties. However, the question of permitting Government servants to hold elective office can be considered, subject to the Administrative Authority satisfying itself that this will not interfere in any manner with the discharge of official duties by the Government servant concerned.

[para 2 of OM No. 11013/11/2007-Estt.(A) dated 13.11.2007]
[para 2 of OM No. 3501 41 6192-Estt.(A) dated 1 0.06.1 993]

3. There were certain instances where the Government servants continued to hold elective offices in various capacities for unduly long periods. In some cases, where bye-laws of these bodies placed restrictions on the number of consecutive terms a person may hold in an office, Government servants were reported to have either got themselves re-elected after a gap or had got a family member/ close relative elected as a surrogate in order to keep control of such bodies. In such cases, Government servants were not bestowing adequate attention upon their official duties and, as a result, such Government servants also developed vested interests, particularly if the body was involved in commercial activities, directly or indirectly.

[para 2 of OM No. 11013/1/2016-Estt.A-III dated 05.08.2019]

4. As per the policy of the Government, a Government servant is allowed to hold elective office in any body, whether incorporated or not, for a period of two terms or for a period of 5 years, whichever is earlier. However, a prior sanction would be required when a Government servant contests an election in such a body. In cases where the Government servants have assumed charge of elected posts prior to 5th August 2019, they may be allowed to complete the full period of their current tenure, except in cases where there are charges of corruption and adverse audit paras, etc. The Competent Authority is required to keep in mind all the relevant factors while granting permission under Rule 15(1)(c) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964.

[para 1 of the OM No. 11013/1/2016-Estt.A-III dated 27.02.2020]

5. Notwithstanding the above, a  Government servant, may without the previous sanction of the Government,

  1. take part in the registration, promotion or management (not involving the holding of an elective office) of a literary, scientific or charitable society or of a club or similar organization, the aims or objects of which relate to the promotion of sports, cultural or recreational activities, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (21 of 1860), or any other law for the time being in force; or
  2. take part in the registration, promotion or management (not involving the holding of an elective office) of a co-operative society substantially for the benefit of Government servant, registered under the Co­-operative Societies Act, 1912 (2 of 1912), or any other law for the time being in force.

Provided that –

  1. he shall discontinue taking part in such activities if so directed by the Government; and
  2. his official duties shall not suffer thereby and he shall, within a period of one month of his taking part in such activity, report to the Government giving details of the nature of his participation.

[Rule 15(2) (d) and Rule 15(2)(e) and proviso thereof of the CCS(Conduct) Rules, 1964]

Handling of Court Cases in the field offices: Pay related matters filed by Railway employees

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
RAILWAY BOARD

No. PCVI/2011/CC/1

New Delhi, dated:- 16/08/2022

The PCPOs,
All Zonal Railways/PUs,
(as per mailing list)

The PFAs,
All Zonal Railways/PUs,
(as per mailing list)

Sub: Handling of Court Cases in the field offices.

A number of cases on various important policy issues pertaining to pay related matters have been filed by Railway employees before various courts of law which are being contested by Zonal Railways/PUs at different levels in consultation with Pay Commission Directorate/Railway Board. It has been time and again re-iterated by Railway Board through periodic communications and meetings that these cases should be monitored at the level of a JAG officer or higher level to ensure that the cases are contested effectively.

2. However, an instance has come to the notice of this office wherein a case relating to one of the important policy decisions of Board has been dismissed/decided ex-parte by the concerned High Court for non-prosecution as the contesting Advocate appearing on behalf of Railway administration was not present on the listed date of hearing. It is observed that the above dismissal of case is due to lack of effective monitoring at the desired level.

2.1 Such cases on policy/pay related issues have huge ramifications/financial implications and any adverse judgment if implemented would have a cascading effect on similar cases and also have far reaching consequences as it would result in similar demands from various other categories in Railways.

3. In order to avoid such laxity in future while defending the interests of UoI before the respective court of law, it is advised that the concerned advocate appearing on behalf of UoI may be adequately briefed beforehand and instructed to ensure his presence on each hearing invariably to prevent the case being decided ex-parte.

4. Non-appearance by the concerned advocate before the Hon’ble Tribunal/Court on the day of hearing should be viewed seriously and appropriate action in this regard may be taken by the competent authority. Needless to say, full attention should be paid to such cases and monitored regularly by a competent JAG level officer or higher level as any laxity would result in huge ramifications on similar cases filed before various courts of law.

5. Receipt of this letter may please be acknowledged.

Conduct of selections – both Rankers and LDCE quota: RBE 89/2022 – Railway Board Order

Conduct of selections – both Rankers and LDCE quota

RBE No. 89/2022

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)

New Delhi, dated 08.2022

No. E(NG)1/2022/PM1/26

The General Manager,
All Zonal Railways/PUs
(as per standard mailing list)

Sub: Conduct of selections – both Rankers and LDCE quota.

One of the recognized Federation (AIRF) has brought to the notice of Railway Board that Zonal Railways are not conducting selections, both under Ranker quota and LDCE quota, in time and this is causing undue hardship to the employees in one way or the other. There is an upper age limit to apply for the post, and the employees who are on the border of the eligible age limit, are losing their eligibility due to over age if notifications are not issued in time. In certain cases, where eligibility for promotion to next higher grade is minimum of two years of service, due to the delay in conducting examinations, they are losing further promotions in higher grade.

It has also brought out that Zonal Railways are taking more than 8 to 10 months for finalizing selections. After issuance of the notification, written examination is being held after a gap of six months, and after announcement of written examination, and publication of the final panel is taking considerable time. In certain cases, where training is mandatory, training course is not being announced immediately. Due to this, employees are put to heavy monetary loss.

The matter has been examined in Board’s Office. As the Railway administrations are aware, filling up of promotional quota vacancies prescribed for various grades is necessary not only to meet administrative requirements, but is also an important HR tool in the hands of the managements as employees aspirations for career growth are met by timely promotions. Instructions for timely filling up of vacancies and maintenance of calendar for selections/suitability/trade tests have been issued from time to time. It need not be emphasized that proper monitoring of the promotions process is essential to ensure timely promotions. The extant instructions for maintenance of Selection Calendar and timely filling up of promotional vacancies by chalking out suitable action plan is hereby reiterated. The process may be closely monitored by PCPOs as the progress is being tracked by the Board and also by DoP&T.

Hindi version will follow.

Please acknowledge receipt.
