Ref:
Cir.Memo.No.10922/Ser.C/98, dated 26-3-1998.
@@@@@
In the Circular Memo. cited certain clarifications were given on the subject. Some of the Departments are still raising doubts on point No. 5 despite the fact that it was made clear in the clarification that the benefit is available only for the first promotion and not for the second promotion and that it is the intention of the Government to ensure that every employee gets atleast the benefit of one promotion.
2. In view of this, it is again reiterated that the exemption
from passing departmental tests for the employee who completed 45 years of age
is only a one-time concession for promotion to the next higher category above
the one held by him or her in the same service. The said concession shall not be
applicable for subsequent promotion irrespective of the fact whether tests are
prescribed for higher posts. It is also made clear that the concession is only
for exemption from passing the departmental tests or special tests but not for
the qualifications prescribed.
