OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Implementation of orders relating to promotion of officers in various grades in CSSS – reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s Orders relating to ad-hoc promotion in various grades of CSSS Cadre issued recently, as per the details below:

S.No.	Description	Order No.	Date of issue
i	Promotion of Senior Principal Private Secretary to Principal Staff Officer	1/ 2/ 2020-CS.IIA	14.12.2020 & 15.12.2020
ii	Promotion of Principal Private Secretary to Senior Principal Private Secretary	1I3/ 2020-CS .IIA	01.01.2021
iii	Promotion of Private Secretary to Principal Private Secretary	3/ 6/ 2020-CS.II A	01.01.2021
iv	Promotion of Personal Assistant to Private Secretary	4/ 3/ 2020-CS.II(A)	29.12.2020
v	Promotion of Stenographer Grade ‘D’ to Personal Assistant	5/ 1/2020-CS.Il(C)	29. 12.2020

The ad-hoc 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 number of officers have not joined. It may be appreciated that ad-hoc promotion is resorted to as a special dispensation for ensuring efficiency in the Government’s functioning. The non-joining of officers is defeating the very purpose for which these ad-hoc promotions were made.
Hence, in partial modification of the Orders mentioned in para-1 above, all the Cadre Units are hereby directed to issue instructions to the promoted officers in all grades, who have not yet assumed the charge of the posts, to assume the charge immediately and not later than 15.01.2021, failing which the promotion orders with respect to non-joinee Officers, shall be liable to be withdrawn, apart from debarment from ad-hoc promotion or other suitable consequences. Further, the vacancies on this account shall be filled up by considering eligible officers next in order of seniority.
The cadre units are also requested to submit a report by 15.01.2021 to this Department at email: bhagirathjha.68[at]gov.in
All the concerned Ministries/ Departments are hereby requested to forward the list of officers who have not assumed the charge of the post on promotion by 15.01.2021, 03:30 P.M. on the email id mentioned above.
