IN SITU PROMOTION SCHEME

IN SITU PROMOTION SCHEME

 

(CAREER ADVANCEMENT OF GROUP C’ &D):

 

As a result of the recommendations of the Fourth Pay Commission, Selection Grades in the Group ‘C’ and *D’ have been abolished and a Scheme to ensure atleast one promotion in the service career to each Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ employees was introduced and is known as "in situ Promotion Scheme."

 

The Scheme is applicable to the employees:

(i)      Who are directly recruited to a Group ‘C’ or a Group ‘D’ post.

(ii)      Whose pay on appointment to such a post is fixed at the minimum of the scale, and

(iii)     Who have not been promoted on regular basis even after one year on reaching the maximum of the scale of such post. The Scheme carries the following basic features:

(a)    Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ employees who fulfill the conditions mentioned at (I), (ii) and (iii) above will be considered for promotion in situ to the next higher scale;

(b)  Promotion in situ will be allowed after following due process of promotion with reference to seniority-cum-suitability;

(c)     The employees will get promotion in situ to the next higher scale available to them in the normal line/hierarchy of promotion.

(d)   Employees given promotion in-situ will continue to be borne on the seniority list of the lower cadre/post and will be considered for functional promotion against available vacancies as per provision of the Recruitment and Promotion Rules.
