Despite of explicit rules and clear
orders in the references cited, the departments are repeatedly referring the
cases to Finance Department for extension of the deputation of the individuals
beyond 5 years without following the rules / instructions therein.
2. In some cases even though
Finance Department has not agreed for extension of deputation beyond 5 years,
the departments are obtaining orders in circulation without mentioning the
facts whether the conditions / instructions ordered in the references cited are
met. It has also come to the notice of
Finance Department that some individuals were on deputation in different
organizations at different spells for more than half of the period of their entire
service, which is resulting in loss to the lending department with the shortage
of experienced officers and they are not in a position to safeguard the needs
of the department. Further, very purpose of recruiting the officer to the
department concerned is nullified.
3. In the reference 2nd cited,
it was clearly ordered that;
i) In case of the employees who have
availed the maximum period of deputation of 5 years either in one organization
or in different organizations, they have to necessarily work at least one year
in the parent department before they are considered for further deputation to
any organization.
ii) In cases of employees who are
repatriated to parent department due to their promotion in the parent department
they should not be considered for further deputation till they satisfactorily
complete probation in the promoted post.
iii) In case of employees who are
repatriated to parent department for the reasons of disciplinary action, they
should be considered for deputation till the disciplinary case is closed and
the currency of punishment is completed.
iv) In the case of employees who are
repatriated to parent department for other reasons than promotion and
disciplinary action, such employees should not be considered for deputation
till they work in parent department at least 6 months excluding any type of
leave availed by them during that period.
v) The deputation of employees from one
Local Cadre post to another Local Cadre post is not permissible. It should be
strictly in accordance with Presidential Order and G.O.Ms.No. 610, G.A. (SPF-A)Department, dated 31-12-1985, read with G.A. (MC) Departments Memo.
No.9543/MC/2007-12, dated 2-7-2007.
4. In spite of the above clear
instructions, the administrative departments are not examining the above points
and referring the files to Finance Department.
i) When there is no shortage of personnel
in the lending Department only, the deputation would be permissible.
ii) While considering promotions to the
staff working on deputation and also while effecting posting orders on their
promotion to such staff, all the administrative departments shall follow the
sub-rule 24 of Rule 2 and Rule 8 of A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996.
6. All the Departments of
Secretariat are required to follow the above guidelines while referring the
files to take a decision and minimize the correspondence with Finance
Department.
