Clarification provided on reservation in promotion by the Minister in Lok Sabha...
RESERVATION IN PROMOTION
Minister of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Shri.V.Narayanasamy replied to a question in Lok Sabha on 12th December
2012 regarding the subject of reservation in promotion.
In his written reply, reservation is available to Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes at the rate of 15% and 7.5%, respectively, in all
Groups viz. A, B, C (including erstwhile Group D posts) in case of
promotion by non-selection method. In case of promotion by selection
method, reservation is available in Group B, C and upto the lowest rung
of Group A at the same rates.
As regards senior posts of Secretary, Additional Secretary and Joint
Secretary in the Central Ministries/ Departments, these posts are filled
on deputation basis under the Central Staffing Scheme except the posts
in the Ministry of External Affairs. Reservation does not apply to posts
filled on deputation. The officers borrowed from various cadres
including the State Cadres, who are empanelled to hold such posts and
who give their option for deputation are appointed under the Central
Staffing Scheme. Likewise, the posts of Director (not including the
posts in Central Secretariat Service) are also filled under the Central
Staffing Scheme.
In case the empanelment does not lead to adequate representation to
categories like SC/ST, women, particular State Cadres, North East, etc.,
the criteria for empanelment would be suitably relaxed to give due
representations. For this purpose, adequacy of representation would mean
the cumulative representation in four batches, i.e. current batch and
immediately preceding 3 batches being less than 2/3rd of all India
percentage of empanelment. The number of officers to be selected on this
basis shall not exceed about 15% of the number included in the
recommended list and these selections would follow the required process
albeit with suitably relaxed norms. The relaxation is given in terms of
Average Weighted Score obtained by an SC/ST officer in comparison to
General Category Officers, if he/she is clear from vigilance angle.
Instructions exist that in promotions by selection within Group A (Class
I) carrying an ultimate salary of Rs.18, 300/- (pre-revised) per month
or less, the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe officers, who are senior
enough in the zone of consideration for promotion so as to be within the
number of vacancies for which the select list has to be drawn, would be
included in the list provided they are not considered unfit for
promotion.
