OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Dis-continuation of ad-hoc appointments in Stenographer Grade-D of CSSS – regarding.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Deptt’s O.M. No.5/2/ 2010-CS-II(C) dated 15.12.2011 by which all Cadre units of CSSS had been advised not to forward any application to the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for recruitment of Stenographers Grade-D on the basis of six monthly Limited Departmental Competitive Examination in view of CSSS Rules, 2010 which provides that "’Regular vacancies’ in Stenographer Grade ‘D ‘ of the service shall be filled by ‘direct recruitment’ on the basis of competitive examination conducted for the purpose by the SSC”. Hence, the CSSS Rules, 2010 do not provide for any LDC/UDC to be eligible for the post of Stenographer Grade-D and only one mode of recruitment i.e. ‘direct recruitment’ has been provided for recruitment of Stenographer Grade-D.

2, However, references are being received from various Cadre units for continuance of ad-hoc appointment of LDC’s in Stenographer Grade-D of CSSS. Since there is no provision in the CSSS Rules, 2010 for any LDC/ UDC to be eligible for the post of Stenographer Grade-D, all the Cadre Units are requested to immediately revert all the ad-hoc Stenographers Grade ‘D’ to their substantive posts. A copy of their reversion order may also be endorsed to this Department.

3, It is also intimated that henceforth no proposal for continuation of ad-hoc appointment in Steno Grade-D shall be considered in this Department.
