Ratio of Promotion in CSS

Ratio of Promotion in CSS

Is there any ratio in which the Promotee Assistants and Direct Recruit Assistants were being promoted to the Section Officer Grade prior to Cadre restructuring undertaken during early 1990s..? and Whether the Committee of Secretaries, while considering Cadre restructuring of CSS, had recommended promotion of Promotee Assistants and Direct Recruit Assistants to the Section Officer Grade in the ratio of 75:25..?

The Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Shri.V.Narayanasamy replied to the above questions in Lok Sabha on 13th March, 2013 as follows:

“No ratio has been prescribed for either Promotee or Direct Recruit category Assistants for promotion to the grade of Section Officer.

Promotions to the grade of Section Officer are made through two streams, viz.,

(i) by seniority and

(ii) by holding Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE). In both the streams, all eligible Assistants, whether direct recruit or promotee are participating.

No such recommendation has been made by Committee of Secretaries”.
