Subject: Clarification sought on applicability of Senior-Junior clause in respect of the DR Officers who are not fulfilling the conditions of OTR

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to Board’s letter F.No.A.12018/01/2012.AD.III.B dated 17.01.2023 and to state as follows:

2. Letters have been received from two CCAs seeking clarification on applicability of Senior junior clause to OTR for EFA in relation to interse seniority based on 2014 OM of DoPT (NR Paramar judgement) and also Compassionate appointees and sports quota recruitees. Applicability of Senior Junior clause to any of the above scenarios is under examination and Clarification, if any, will be shared later.

• (i) CCAs to immediately carry out DPCs, in relation to OTR for EA, promoting all those who qualify the two conditions in para 2(a) of Board’s letter dated 17.01.2023 without invoking senior junior clause.
• (ii) Also such DPCs be carried out without waiting for clarification on senior junior clause whether in relation to ICT transferees or in relation to those who are senior due to seniority lists drawn up based on 2014 DoPT OM on inter se seniority (NR Parmar judgment) or compassionate appointees or sports quota recruitees etc.
• (iii) Whether senior junior clause is applicable along with OTR, in any scenario, will be clarified and accordingly action can be taken by CCAs later. But DPCs and promotions in relation to those who qualify clearly as per Board’s letter dt 17.01.2023 be carried out immediately and data of such promotions as well as resultant DR vacancies in TA cadre be conveyed to DGHRD immediately, as indicated clearly in Board’s letter dated 17.01.2023.

4. This issues with the approval of the competent authority.
