PART-III

GUIDELINES ON PREPARING SCHEDULE & NOTIFICATION

1. GENERAL

INITIAL CONSTITUTION

3.1.1. In cases where a new service is formed and the Recruitment Rules are framed

for the first time and that there are officers already holding different categories of

posts proposed to be included in the service on a regular / long term basis, a suitable

‘Initial Constitution’ Clause may be inserted in the Notification so as to count the

regular service rendered by such officers before the date of notification of the Rules.

CONSIDERATION OF SENIORS

3.1.2 It may so happen that in some cases of promotion, the senior officers would

not have completed the required service whereas the juniors would have completed

the prescribed eligibility condition for promotion. In such cases, seniors will be left

out from consideration for the higher post. To avoid such a situation, following note

may be inserted in the recruitment rules/ column in the schedule to the Recruitment

Rules.

Note:

“Where juniors who have completed their qualifying/eligibility service are being

considered for promotion, their seniors would also be considered provided they are

not short of the requisite qualifying/ eligibility service by more than half of such

qualifying/ eligibility service or two years, whichever is less, and have successfully

completed probation period for promotion to the next higher grade along with their

juniors who have already completed such qualifying/ eligibility service.”

(DOPT O.M. No. AB-14017/12/88-Estt. (RR) dated 25.3.1996)

RETENTION OF EXISTING ELIGIBILITY SERVICE

3.1.3 Where the eligibility service for promotion prescribed in the existing rules is

being enhanced (to be in conformity with the guidelines issues by this Department)

and the change is likely to affect adversely some persons holding the feeder grade

posts on regular basis, a note to the effect that the eligibility service shall continue to

be the same for persons holding the feeder posts on regular basis on the date of

notification of the revised rules, could be included in the revised rules.
