OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Sanction for holding an elective office under Rule 15(1)(c) ofCCS(Conduct) Rules, 1964 – reg.

The undersigned is directed to say that as per Rule 15 (1) (c) of the CCS(Conduct) Rules, 1964, no Government servant shall except with the previous sanction of the Government, hold an elective office, or canvass for a candidate or candidates for an elective office, in any body, whether incorporated or not DoPT’s O.M. No. 1l0l3/9/93-Estt.(A) dated 22.04.1994 had also stipulated that no Government servant should be allowed to hold elective office in any sports association/federation for a term of more than 4 years, or for one term whichever is less. Further, according to Department of Personnel & Training OM No. 11013/ ll /2007-Estt (A) dated the 13th November, 2007, the entire time of the Government servant should be available to the Government and that no activities unconnected with his or her official duties should be allowed to interfere with the efficient discharge of such duties. All Ministries were requested to ensure that the participation of the Government servants in the activities of the cooperative societies conform to the above provisions and does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties.

2. Instances have come to notice where Government servants continue to hold elective offices in various capacities for unduly long periods. In some cases,where bye-laws of these bodies place restrictions on the number of consecutive terms a person may hold an office, Government servants are reported to have either got themselves re-elected after a gap or have got a family member/ close relative elected as a surrogate in order to keep control of such bodies. In such cases, Government servants may not be bestowing adequate attention upon their official duties and, as a result, an apprehension may arise that such Government servants also develop vested interests, particularly if the body is involved in commercial activities, directly or indirectly.

3. The policy on fixing an upper limit of the number of years for which Government servants can hold elective office in any body in their entire career has been reviewed and it has been decided that a Government servant may be allowed to hold elective office in any body, whether incorporated or not, for period of two terms or for a period of 4 ]rears. whichever is earlier, for which prior sanction would be required when a Government servant contests an election in such body, as per existing rules.

4. It is, therefore, necessary for the Competent Authority to keep in mind all the relevant factors while granting permission under Rule 15(1)(c) of CCS(Conduct) Rules, L964. It may also be necessary that cases of such sanctions are reviewed from time to time and permissions earlier granted revoked where Government servants have been holding office in any body,whether incorporated or not, for more than four years or in cases there are charges of corruption, adverse audit paras etc. In such cases, the Government servant concerned may be directed to resign from his office in such body immediately. He will cease to discharge any function from the date such direction is conveyed to him, irrespective of the fact whether his resignation from the body is accepted or not. This action may be taken immediately in those cases where information is already available with the Ministries and Departments. In addition, all the Ministries and Departments are also requested to obtain information from their employees in the proforma attached to this Office Memorandum for reviewing the position as well as while considering the request for sanction under Rule 15(1)(c) of CCS(Conduct) Rules, L964 in future.

5. This O.M. issues in supersession of DoPT’s ll0l3/9/93-Estt.(A) dated 22.O4.1994.

6. In so far as the employees of Indian Audit and Accounts Departments are concerned, this O.M. issues after consultation with Comptroller & Auditor General of India.

7. All Ministries/Departments/Offices are requested to bring the above instructions to the notice of all administrative authorities under their control.

To
The Postmasters General,
Vljayawada / Visakhapatnam /Kumool /
Hyderabad/ Hyderabad HQs

Sir,
Subject: CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 – Opportunity for revision of option to come over to revised pay structure – Clarifications.

Ref: This office Lr. No.669/ PM·II/IFA/Genl./ 7thCPC Pay fixation dated 23.07.2018 .

Following the O.M.No.4-13/17/IC/E-IIA dated 12th December, 2018 issued by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Anance on the opportunity for revision of option to come over to reyised pay structure, this office has received references seeking clarification on the eligibility of the officials for exercising revised option from some of the units namely; O/o CPMG – Vijayawada, HRO – ‘V’ Division and Waltair RS HO in Visakhapatnam Division in A.P. Circle. The matter has been perused with reference to the OM dated 12.12.2018 and the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 and the point of doubts are clarified as under:-

1. Point of doubt : In view of M.F., O.M. No.4-13/17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12th December, 2018 whether the officials who are awarded financial upgradation In Feb./ March/ August/ September, 2017 and December 2018 are eligible to exercise revised option to come over to revised pay structure on the date of their financial up-gradation under MACPS.

Clarification:- The Central Govt. employees have been permitted another opportunity to revise their Initial option to come into revised pay structure in terms of Rules 5 & 6 thereof of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 vide M.F., OM No.
4-13/ 17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12-12-2018. Wherein, it has been also repeated to make the meaning dear that all other terms and conditions as laid down in the said Rules 5 & 6 shall continue to be applicable for the revised options. As per the second provision of the Rule 5, in cases where a Government servant has been placed in a higher grade pay or scale between 1st January 2016 and the date of notification of these rules on account of promotion or up-gradation, the Government servant may switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion or up-gradation, as the case may be. Hence it is clarified that the officials who ace awarded promotion/ financial upgradation after the date of notification of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 (j,e. 25.07.2016) are not entitled to exercise option/revised option -to come over to the revised pay structure on the date of their promotion/ financial upgradation.

2. Point of doubt: In view of M.F., O.M. No.4-13/ 17-IC/E-IIIA dated 12th December, 2018 whether the officials who are awarded financial upgradation In Feb./ March, 2017 under MACPS are eligible to exercise revised option to come over to revised pay structure on the date of their subsequent increment in pre revised pay structure (i.e. on 01.07.2017).

Clarification:- As furnished In the clarification on point of doubt – 1 above, all other terms and conditions as laid down In the Rules 5 &. 6 thereof shall continue to be applicable for exercising revised option. As per the first provision of the Rule 5, a Government servant may elect to Continue to draw pay in the existing pay structure until the date on which he earns his next or any subsequent increment In the existing pay structure or until he vacates his post or ceases to draw pay in the existing pay structure. As per explanation-1 under the Rule 5, the option to retain the existing pay structure under the provisions to this rule shall be admissible only in respect of one existing pay Band and Grade pay or Scale.

Further, switching over to the revised pay structure either on 01-01-2016 or
from a later date than 01-01-2016 i.e. on the date of promotion/ upgradation
or the date next/ any subsequent increment, are applicable under Rule 5 in case of post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016. Thus, if the date of next or any subsequent increment (i.e. on 01-07-2016 or any subsequent date of increment) for a post/Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016 falls after the date of promotion, then the date of next/ any subsequent increment for the post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay held on 01-01-2016 has no relevance for option, as this post/ Pay Band or Grade Pay on 01.01.2016 is no longer held on the date of next/ any subsequent date of Increment.

Hence. it is clarified that the officials who are awarded promotion/ financial up gradation under MACPS prior to the next or any subsequent date of increment in the pre revised Day structure are not entitled to exercise option/revised option to come over to revised Day structure on the date of next or any subsequent date of increment i e 01.07.2016 or 01.07.2017 etc. (With regards to the said clarifications this officer. No. 69/ PM-II/IFA/ Genl./ 7thCPC Pay fixation Visakhapanam by endorsing copies to all the Regional Offices and the Divisional Heads may also be referred to.)

Point of doubt on Method of fixation of pay: As per the representations, the officials are seem to be on the opinion that fixation of their pay on promotion/ up-gradation on or after 01 -01-2016 will be done first in pre revised pay structure (6th CPC) and then (after placement to the promotional grade in pre revised pay structure), the revision of pay in the revised pay structure will be done as per Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016.

Clarification : In case of an admissible option is exercised to come over to revised pay structure on the date of promotion/ up-gradation or on the date of next/ any subsequent increment in pre revised pay structure; revision of pay will be made first as prescribed in clause A of sub rule 1 under Rule 7 of the CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 w.r.t. the existing basic pay in pre revised pay structure-e i.e. in the prescribed existing Pay Band and Grade Pay, and after switching over to the r-evised pay structure, the fixation of pay on promotion (after 01.01.2016) shall be made as prescribed in rule 13 of the CCS-(RP) Rules, 2016.

This has the approval of the General Manager (Finance).,
