In such situation the number of vacancies for supplementary DPC shall be accordingly adjusted.

CG Employees can get Promotion benefits after retirement

Promotion benefits can get after retirement for Central Govt Employees

Retired Govt Employees Can Now Avail Benefits Of Missed Promotions

Retired government employees who missed out on their promotions due to late meetings of the committees deciding on such departmental elevations will now be able to avail its post-retirement benefits.

“Instructions have been issued to all ministries and departments to give benefit of promotion to those employees who missed it due to late meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC),” an official in the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.

It would not be in order if eligible employees, who were within the zone of consideration for the relevant year but are not actually in service when the DPC is being held, are not considered while preparing year-wise zone of consideration or panel, as per the DoPT order.

Consequently, their juniors are considered (in their place) for promotions, who would not have been in the zone of consideration if the DPC had been held in time, it said.

“Appointment Committee of Cabinet has observed that DPCs often do not consider such eligible officers who are retiring before the occurrence of the vacancy in the panel year,” the order said, adding that this “undesirable trend negate the very purpose” of government’s existing instructions for inclusion of such employees.

There have been reports that some of the eligible retired employees are not being given the benefit of promotion which they missed due to late DPCs. In fact the DPCs were being held very late, the official said.

The DoPT has asked all central government ministries and departments under it to ensure “strict compliance” of its instructions to include retiring employees for promotions in case the DPCs are delayed.

Such retired officials would, however, have no justify for actual promotion, the DoPT official said.

Reservation in promotions for SC/ST employees

Reservation in promotions for SC/ST employees in government services

Reservation in promotions for SC/ST employees in government services, Please see this news paper report:-

Entry age of reserved category in government service increased to 47

Chandigarh, Ahead of the completion of 100 days in office on February 2, the Khattar government today unveiled a bonanza for Scheduled Caste(SC)

employees, special backward classes and economically backward persons in the general category.

While the Haryana Cabinet today accepted the report submitted by a committee constituted to assess the backwardness and inadequacy of  representation of SCs in promotion in government service paving the way for their reservation in promotions, the  age limit for special backward classes and economicaliy backward classes for entry into government service was raised by five years. The new age limit for them will be 47 years now.

“The committee, headed by Additional Chief Secretary P.Raghavendra Rao concluded that there was inadequate representation of SCs as compared to

their proportion at representation in the total population of the state at almost all levels in various departments and public sector undertakings”. Finance Minister Abhi manyu, who briefed the media on behalf of the Chief Minister, contended. Capt Ahhimanyu said the committee submitted its report based on allalysis of data of 3,81,847 employees of all categories in group A, B, C and D.

As per the data, on account of a higher percentage amongst the poor, a lower level of literacy, higher drop-out rates and a meager share in land holdings, the SCs continued to be backward.

The committee was on the opinion that the administrative efficiency is not expected to be adversely affected by extending reservation in promotion to

the SCs in public services,” the minister claimed.

Meanwhile, the special backward classes, which will benefit from five year age relaxation for entry into service included Jats, the Bishnois, Rors, Tyagis and Jat Sikhs. Similarly, the economically weaker sections among the general category with an annual family income of Rs 2.5 lakh will also enjoy this privilege.
