Respected Madam,
Sub: Selections for promotion to PS Group-B.
Ref: Dte. Memo No.No. 9-31/2008 – SPG dated 26.12.2008.
For promotion to PS.Gr. B, ACRs of 380 officers were last called for as early as 23rd April 2008. It was stipulated therein that the ACRs and other documents be sent before 15.5.2008. It was also mentioned in the circular calling for ACRs that the vacancy position as on 31.3.2009 be taken into account.
This Association has been periodically reminding the Department to release the select list at the earliest. It was learnt that the DPC for the same was held on 25.11.2008. But the select list containing 146 officers was ultimately released only on 26.12.2008. But several Circles are still to release posting orders even for officers allotted to their home Circles. Thanks to our respected Secretary, a supplementary list of 15 officers have been released on 20.1.2009.
The Department has taken more than 8 months to release the first select list. It is for the information of the respected Secretary that out of 146 officers, 9 officers are due to retire before 31.3.2009. The list strangely contains the name of one more officer who has already passed P.S. Gr. B Examination. (Sl. no. 85 ).
The list is replete with mistakes in the name of officers. If this is allowed to remain on record, only the incorrect names of officers would be reflected in the Gazette notification.
After the implementation of sixth Pay commission recommendations, 1st July of every year would be crucial date for drawing the increment and service exceeding six months would count for the next increment. Since the list was released on 26.12.2008, most of the officers are yet to assume the promotional post. As a result, the services of these officers till 30th June 2009 would not count for increment. This has happened due to the abnormal delay in releasing the select list.
The earlier select list was released in the month of October 2007. The Department has taken more than 14 months to release the list for the year 2008. We are sorry to inform that the Department does not appear to have any firm commitment to release promotional orders with in a definite period and at regular intervals, and the Department takes unduly long time to finalise the select list. As mentioned above, the selected officers either retire or lose many promotional benefits. It is therefore requested that from the year 2009 onwards, firm time table may kindly be caused to be drawn up and list arranged to be released within 5-6 months from the date of calling for the ACRs. It was the practice to call for the ACRs in January every year and release the list by June-July of the same year. It would be more convenient if the same practice is strictly followed. This would also suit the academic calendar and many avoidable hardships would be reduced as a result.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
(S.Samuel) General Sec retary
