OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Amendment of Recruitment Rules/Service Rules -regarding.
The UPSC has undertaken an analysis with respect to the
Ministries/Departments from whom RR proposals have either rarely been
received or not received at all in the Commission during the last three
years. From the aforesaid analysis the following conclusions have been
drawn by UPSC:
i) There are cases where the Ministries were granted approval by the
Commission for filling up the post as a one-time measure, pending
finalization of recruitment rules. However, the Ministries have not
framed the recruitment rules of such posts as a follow up to the same.
ii) Recruitment Rules are not being amended on a regular basis (every five years) as required as per the norms of DoPT.
iii) Instances have been noticed where the regular posts are filled up
by the Ministries/Departments themselves without consulting the
Commission, by appointing consultant or by making ad-hoc appointments.
iv) Ministries/Departments have not specified the posts which are
exempted from consultation with the U.P.S.C. or taken out of the purview
of the U.P.S.C.
2. DoPT instructions contained in O.M. No. 39021/5/83-Estt. (B) dated
9th July, 1985 and OM No. AB 14017/79/2006-Estt.(RR) dated 6th
September, 2007 provide that where no Recruitment Rules exist or where
the existing Recruitment Rules are repealed as per the prescribed
procedure, the option of approaching the UPSC for suggesting one time
method for recruitment to the post would be available. Accordingly,
Ministries/Departments are advised to ensure that no ad-hoc appointment
should be made in the absence of recruitment rules. In case there are
overriding compulsions for filling up any Group A or Group B post in the
absence of Recruitment Rules, they should make a reference to the UPSC
for deciding the mode of recruitment to fill up the post on regular
basis.
3. DoPT guidelines on framing/amendment/ Relaxation of Recruitment Rules
dated 31.12.2010 vide Para 3.1.5 provide that the Recruitment Rules
should be reviewed once in 5 years with a view to effecting such change
as are necessary to bring them in conformity with the changed position,
including additions to or reductions in the strength of the lower and
higher level posts. Further, consequent upon the implementation of 6th
CPC recommendations, DoPT vide OM dated 24.3.2009 issued instructions to
all the Ministries/Departments to initiate action to amend the existing
Service Rules/Recruitment Rules in view of the revised pay
structure/merger of pre-revised pay scales/up-gradation etc.
UPSC has observed that many Ministries/Departments are not adhering to
these instructions and requisitions are being received from them to
operate recruitment rules notified even twenty five years ago.
Ministries/Departments are, therefore, once again directed to effect
necessary amendments to the Recruitment Rules/Service Rules after
following the due procedure of furnishing proposals to the Department of
Personnel & Training and the UPSC.
4. Ministries/Departments need to ensure that appointment to all posts
are effected as per the provisions in the Recruitment Rules which are
statutory in nature and adhere to these instructions scrupulously.
