Orders
were issued in the G.O. 1st cited constitution of four centralised Departmental
Promotion Committees to consider the cases of promotion to the non-cadre Heads
of Departments, Additional/Joint Secretaries to Government, 3rd Level
Gazetted posts and above. All these categories of posts in State Services are
selection posts. The promotion to any selection post is based on merit and
ability seniority being considered only where merit and ability are
approximately equal. Though orders were issued in the G.O. 2nd cited
dispensing with the Zone of consideration, the principle of grading and
preparation of half yearly panels, yet the merit principle exists in the
selection of candidates to the higher posts. The merit of the candidate is
assessed on the basis of Annual Confidential Reports earned by the Officers in
the feeder post.
From
the proposals receiving from the varies departments of Secretariat for consideration
by the Centralised Departmental Promotion Committee, it is observed that in
many cases the Personal Files of the Officers are not up-to-date and there is no
indication whether the adverse remarks recorded if any in the Annual
Confidential Reports have been communicated to the concerned officers as per
rules. In such a situation, it is difficult to assess the suitability and
performance of the officer whose case is under consideration. The instructions
have been reiterated recently in Memo No.156/Ser.C/90-1. General Administration Department, dt 21-2-1990, regarding maintenance of Personal Files. Even then,
there are instances where the Personal Files are sent in a haphazard manner.
With a
view to streamline the procedure, a proforma annexed to this note is prescribed.
All the Departments of Secretariat and Heads of Departments are requested to
furnish the proforma duly filed in, in respect of each candidate under consideration
for promotion to the higher post along with the Departmental Promotion Committee
proposals.
