The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s Office Memorandums
of even number dated 21.12.2015 and 18.01.2016 on the subject cited above
(available at persmin.nic.in -> DOPT -> Central Secretariat-> CSS -> Property
Return).
2. A large number of CSS Officers have not yet submitted the Immovable
Property Return for the year 2015 (as on 31.12.2015). As already informed, IPR
should be submitted by all CSS officers through the Web Based Cadre
Management System which is hosted at cscms.nic.in. However, as large number
of officers are accessing the system, it has become slow making it difficult to
submit the return online. As the system is web based, officers may try filing IPR
beyond office hours when the system is less congested. If it is still not possible to
file the return online for any reason, they should file the return in paper format to

Report of the Seventh CPC
Furlough Leave
9.2.18 This leave is admissible only to defence officers for up to 60 days. It can
be availed at half pay, once in a cycle of three calendar years. No demands have
been received regarding this leave. However, the Commission is of the view that
Furlough Leave is a legacy of the pre-Independence era. Since defence officers
are already entitled to double the Earned Leave and more than double the Casual
Leave available to civilian employees, there is no justification for continuation of
Furlough Leave. Hence, it is recommended that Furlough Leave be abolished.
Gazetted and Restricted Holidays
9.2.19 Besides the three National Holidays, employees are presently entitled to
14 Gazetted and 2 Restricted holidays every year. Out of the 14 Gazetted
holidays, 11 are observed throughout India, while 3 are decided locally. For
Restricted holidays, a list is drawn up at the local level taking local factors into
consideration; employee is entitled to choose anytwoin a year out of that list.
There are demands to include May Day and 14th April as compulsory holidays
throughout India. Suggestions have also been received to increase the number of
locally decided Gazetted Holidays from 3 to 6.
Analysis and Recommendations
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 14
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
9.2.20 The Commission is of the view that the present system is working well.
Accordingly, status quo is recommended.
Half Pay Leave (HPL) or Leave on Half Average Pay (LHAP)
9.2.21 Presently, government employees are entitled to 20 days of Half Pay Leave
for each completed year of service, credited @l0 days on the 1st of January and
1st of July every year. There are representations that encashment of HPL should
be allowed at the time of superannuation.
Analysis and Recommendations
9.2.22 The demands lack merit. Elsewhere in the report it has been recommended
that 20 days HPL granted to “Vacational” staff be converted into 10 days EL.
Hence, HPL will henceforth not be available to them. No change other than this
is recommended.
Hospital Leave
9.2.23 This leave is granted to Group ‘C’ Railway employees if they are suffering
from illness or injuries directly due to risks incurred in the course of official
duties, on production of medical certificate. Full pay is admissible for first 120
days and half pay thereafter. The leave may be combined with any other kind of
leave due and admissible, provided total period of leave does not exceed 28
months. Demands have been received to increase this leave to an unlimited period
of time as applicable to PBORs of defence forces.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Promotion of Govt. Servants exonerated after retirement —
Procedure and Guidelines to be followed – Regarding.
The undersigned is directed to invite reference to the Department of Personnel
and Training Office Memorandum No. 22011/4/91-Estt(A) dated 14th
September, 1992 regarding procedure and guidelines to be followed by DPC in
respect of Government servants against whom disciplinary/court proceedings are
pending or whose conduct is under investigation. In case the Government servant
is covered under any of the three conditions as mentioned in Para 2 of OM dated
14.09.1992, the recommendations of the DPC are to be kept in ‘sealed cover’ and
subsequent action regarding opening of sealed cover will depend on the outcome
of the disciplinary/criminal proceedings.
2. If on conclusion of the disciplinary/ criminal proceedings, the Government
servant is exonerated, the procedure prescribed in para 3 of the OM dated 14-9-
1992 is to be followed. This provides as under:-
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 17
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
“On the conclusion of the disciplinary case/criminal prosecution which results in
dropping of allegations against the Govt. servant, the sealed cover or covers shall
be opened. In case the Government servant is completely exonerated the due date
of his promotion will be determined with reference to the position assigned to
him in the findings kept in the sealed cover/covers and with reference to the date
of promotion of his next junior on the basis of such position. The Government
servant may be promoted, if necessary, by reverting the junior most officiating
person. He may be promoted notionally with reference to the date of promotion
of his junior. However, whether the officer concerned will be entitled to any
arrears of pay for the period of notional promotion preceding the date of actual
promotion, and if so to what extent, will be decided by the appointing authority
by taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the disciplinary
proceedings/criminal prosecution. Where the authority denies arrears of salary or
part of it, it will record its reasons for doing so. It is not possible to anticipate and
enumerate exhaustively all the circumstances under which such denials of arrears
of salary or part of it may become necessary. However, there may be cases where
the proceedings, whether disciplinary or criminal, are, for example delayed at the
instance of the employee or the clearance in the disciplinary proceedings or
acquittal in the criminal proceedings is with benefit of doubt or on account of
non-availability of evidence due to the acts attributable to the employee etc. These
are only some of the circumstances where such denial can be justified.”

3.1 Prior to the year 2003, the number of posts of LDC and UDC in the Central
Secretariat was 5397 and 5377 respectively. The 1st Cadre Restructuring
Committee (CRC) of CSS in 2002 recommended abolition of direct recruitment
in the grade of LDC. In the context of e-governance, paperless office and multi-
skilling for a responsive administration, maintaining a large cadre of UDCs and
LDCs in the Central Secretariat to carry out routine office jobs manually was
considered regressive by the Committee. The Committee recommended that to
cater to the future needs and address emerging requirements more efficiently, that
instead of direct recruitment of LDCs at matriculate level, uni-skilled individuals
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 29
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
of better qualified and skilled personnel be made solely at the level of Assistant.
The Committee, therefore, recommended abolition of direct recruitment at LDC.
3.2 Accordingly, in October, 2003 with the approval of the Cabinet, it was
decided to discontinue direct recruitment to the grade of LDC and to abolish the
vacant posts of LDC which were filled up through direct recruitment. Eighty five
percent of the posts of LDC were filled up through direct recruitment quota then
and accordingly, after implementation of the first cadre review, 85% of the posts
becoming vacant every year were being abolished. The remaining posts in the
grade of LDCs were filled up by seniority promotion through Limited
Departmental Competitive Examination from the erstwhile Group D employees.
3.3 With the stoppage of direct recruitment in the grade of LDC, the mode of
recruitment to the grade of Assistant was modified as under:
Prior to 2009 Since 2009
50% direct recruitment
50% by promotion from UDC grade
75% direct recruitment through CGLE.
The qualification is graduation with
computer proficiency.
15% by promotion from UDC grade
10% through LDCE
3.4 On the implementation of the recommendations of the second Cadre
Restructuring of CSS carried in the year 2010, 1467 posts of UDCs were
upgraded to the level of Assistant.
3.5 As on date the number of UDCs is 1700 and the number of LDCs is only
about 200.

in the Central Government. In this sense it is very different from other central
services as latter are organized on functional basis and they function mostly
within their allotted area of competence. CSS therefore has a much wider role to
play as they work in all Ministries/Departments of the Government and assigned
varied nature of work though their core functions broadly remain areas of
administration and establishment.
4.1 Upto the level of US, almost all the posts in the Central Secretariat is manned
by CSS Officers. In the grades of DS/Dir, CSS officers and officers coming under
the Central staffing Scheme occupy posts roughly in the ratio of 50% each.
4.2 The role of CSSS Officers is to provide secretarial assistance to Officers.
UDCs of CSCS are assigned duties similar to that of an Assistant but mostly of
routine nature. LDCs carry out basic functions such diary, dispatch, maintenance
of various registers, typing etc.
4.3 The duties and responsibilities of officers in the various grades of the three
services are provided in the Central Secretariat Manual Office Procedure.
4.4 The Central Secretariat Service and the Central Secretariat Stenographers
Service have, therefore, separate identities based on their structure, functions,
duties and responsibilities and methods of recruitment at different levels. The
Central Secretariat Service was constituted for ensuring continuity in policy

administration in the Central Secretariat. CSSS is meant for providing
stenographic and secretarial assistance to the officers in the Central Secretariat in
discharge of their duties. Nature of Work, duties and responsibilities of the
members of CSS and CSSS are different. (para 3.21 of the report 1st Cadre
Restructuring of CSSS).
Recommendation of the 6th Central Pay Commission and its rationale:
5.0 The Sixth 6th Pay Commission in its Reportin para 3.1.10 to 3.1.12
recommended the following:
(a) In future, no recruitment is to be made as Assistants or Stenographers Instead
multi-skilled Executive Assistants with educational qualifications of a degree
from a recognized university and a one year diploma in computer education
should be recruited. They will perform work of both the present day Assistants
and Stenographers and in their case CSS and CSSS cadres would become merged.
(b) The existing incumbents in CSS and CSSS will continue as distinct cadres till
the administrative Ministry works out an arrangement for their cadre after
retraining, redeployment and job enlargement/enrichment, etc.
5.1 The rationale behind this recommendation was not explained in the 6th CPC
Report. The only rationale that is apparent is that the 6th CPC felt that with
increased use of IT, need for stenography skills should decline and, therefore,
there is no need for maintaining a distinct stenographer cadre.
5.2 The Central Secretariat Service officials man various sections and divisions
in the Secretariat, constitutional bodies, and attached and subordinate offices and
participate in police formulation. The Central Secretariat Stenographers Service
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 32
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
officials are attached with officers to provide stenographical as well as secretarial
assistance. The Central Secretariat Clerical Service comprises officials who
provide clerical assistance to sections.
5.3 Over a period of time, several changes have taken place in the services as well
as the working of the secretariat itself which have a bearing on the introduction
of a new cadre. The key issues are listed below:
(a) Size and composition of Services: At present the sanctioned strength of these
three services is approximately 21000, out of which approximately 12000 are in
the junior grades of LDC, UDC, Stenographer Grade ‘D’, PAs and Assistants.
Till 2003 the educational qualification for LDCs (and therefore for UDCs).
Stenographer Gr. D and PAs was Matriculation. However, it was graduation for
Assistants. These qualifications have since been upgraded as under:
Ø For LDCs and Steno ‘D’, 12th pass. Direct recruitment in the grade of LDC
was stopped since 2003 and it has been dying cadre since then.
Ø Assistants : Graduation with computer proficiency test.
Though the DR quota in Assistant grade has been increased from 50% to 75%,
still a large number of secretarial staff who was recruited in the earlier years is
still in service. They have low educational qualifications and skills even as the
work of the secretariat has become more complex. Such a composition and skill
profile in not in keeping with the changing needs of the Secretariat.
(b) Over a period of time the composition of these services has changed by and
large in favour of promoted officers. For example, in the case of CSS, since the
year 2000, direct recruitment at the level of SOs has been stopped. At the level of
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 33
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
Assistants, in many years, no direct recruitment was made to enable UDCs to get
faster promotions. This has altered the composition of CSS cadre where large
number of Assistants / SOs is from the ranks of LDC/UDCs. As on date the
composition of Assistant and SO grade is as under:
Grade In position as on
1.8.2015 Composition (as on October 2015)
Assistant 6100 3600 (promoted from LDC
→UDC→Assistant) 2500 (DR)
SOs 2600 1700 (from promote
Assistant grade)
900 (from
DR
Assistants)
Similarly, in the case of CSSS, direct recruitment in the grade of Steno Gr.’C’
has been stopped since 2003, primarily to facilitate promotions of Steno Gr. ‘D’
who have been stagnating in the cadre for long. As the functioning of the
Secretariat is becoming more complex, the secretariat services need to have more
qualified staff (may be in lesser numbers) with opportunities of fast tracking
available to high achievers.
(c) Inadequate work content at senior levels of CSSS: Several grades in higher
scales have now been prescribed in the CSSS without much change in work
content in different grades. There is no specific job description prescribed for the
grades of PPS/Sr. PPS/PSO. They all perform similar functions and this leads to
frustration amongst the officials and at the same time. Government does not gain
much from the experience of senior officials in this service.
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 34
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
(d) Demand and supply of stenographic skills: With increased working on
computers, demand for stenographic skills in workplaces has reduced to a large
extent. There has been significant decline in supply of trained/skilled persons due
to many Stenographic training institutions closing down for lack of demand.
(e) Enhanced IT skills: There has been a significant increase in use of IT in the
secretariat. Officers are less dependent on stenographic assistance in disposal of
their work. It is also increasingly becoming difficult to recruit good officials as
stenographers as less and less persons train in this field.
(f) Unhealthy competition between CSS and CSSS: Functioning of the
Secretariat is marred by unhealthy competition between CSS and CSSS cadres
on issues such as promotion opportunities and other service conditions. By virtue
of the fact that CSS officers man the sections and other decision making levels in
Secretariat, they have a more meaningful career progression which has led to a
widening of the rift between these two services affecting the functioning of the
Secretariat.
(g) E-office: The increased use of e-office has reduced the dependence on staff
for filing and also for stenography work.
5.4 In view of the above, prima-facie there is a need to have a relook at the
existing structure of the secretariat. However, in view of the long term and wide
ranging ramifications of any decision to be taken in this regard, the proposal for
introduction of EA Scheme was discussed in the year 2010 with group of officers
from various ministries / departments in two meetings chaired by joint Secretary
(AT&A) and Secretary (Personnel) respectively. Mixed views were expressed in
these meetings. While a large number of Ministries felt that the system of
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 35
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
Executive Assistants would not work as it would be difficult for an Executive
Assistant/Executive Officer (which is equivalent to the current Section Officer)
to make adjustments that would be required if s/he were rotated between sections
and personal staff of officers, many ministries felt that with the changing work
environment, we need to restructure the present arrangements. The key
advantages and disadvantages of EA system, as emerged during these
discussions, are being highlighted below:
6.1 Key Disadvantages
6.1.1 The aptitude and the traits needs for analytical work and file processing are
quite distinct from the work of a PA/Stenographer. As such interchangeability of
the EAs between Sections and in the personal staff of Senior Officers will not be
easy.
6.1.2 Need for stenographic assistance will continue even in future. In its absence,
working at the level of senior officers would be affected.
6.1.3 Interchange of EAs/EOs between sections and personal staff of officers
would adversely affect the working of Sections as the EAs may get out of touch
with noting/drafting skills while they work in the personal staff of officers. The
same problem will be faced by EAs who have been working in sections for long
as they may not get used to working in the personal staff.
6.1.4 With the element of working in the personal staff of officers becoming a
part of duties of EA, the service is likely to lose some of its lustre and may not
attract appropriate talent/quality of personnel to work in the Central Secretariat.
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 36
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
6.1.5 There will be problems of integration of EAs with the existing CSS and
CSSS cadres.
6.1.6 Ushering in specialization/professionalism, which exists today, may suffer.
6.2 Key advantages
6.2.1 Availability of better qualified multi-skilled manpower in the secretariat.
6.2.2 EAs who rotate between sections and personal staff will be more effective
as they would have a wider horizon.
6.2.3 Better utilization of manpower, especially as in the current scenario, senior
officials at the level of PPS, Sr. PPS and PSO are not being effectively utilized.
6.2.4 The new organization will be in sync with demands of a more IT based
organization.
6.2.5 As the cadre of EAs will be unified, the problems arising out of contentious
issues of parity between CSS and CSSS would cease to exist.
6.3 A perusal of the above would suggest that introduction of EA system would
not be easy and that there would be severe problems of integration with the
existing cadres of CSS and CSSS. However, considering the overall advantages,
an outline of a scheme for introduction of Executive Assistants in the Central
Secretariat has been prepared, and is discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.
6.4 The issue of introduction of EA Scheme was further discussed in the meeting
of the CoS on 1st March 2013. In the meeting, following observations were made:
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 37
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
(i) There will be continued need for stenographic assistance to senior officers,
(ii) While the overall tendency and requirement is to move away from
generalization towards specialization, EA Scheme tends to move towards
generalization and may lead to decrease the level of required competencies,
(iii) The basic assumptions made for implementing the scheme should be put in
place first, before implementing the Scheme.
(iv) While the EA Scheme assumes reduction in the overall number of staff,
actually more number of staff might be eventually required implementing the new
scheme.
(v) A view has also to be taken whether EA/EO cadre should serve the need of
attached offices and autonomous bodies since under the Scheme. EA cadre is
envisaged only for core Secretariat posts.
(vi) There is also a point of view that the Scheme could be referred to the next
CPC.
(vii) A holistic approach is required instead of introducing EA Scheme in an
isolated manner;
(viii) Physical files cannot be undone wholly as they are required for audit, court
cases etc. EA Scheme will not work well if many physical files continue to be
maintained.
(ix) Grade Pay of EA should be decided first in consultation with Staff
Associations
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 38
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
(x) There is a need to define computer literacy, need to take a call on the level of
final disposal of cases/files so that there is a meaningful contribution at every
level etc. Before the proposal is considered for “in-principle” approval.
(xi) Proficiency in computer may be tested by hiring an appropriate agency.
(xii) Some Ministries had expressed the view that LDCs and UDCs will continue
to be required for record keeping etc.
(xiii) The EA scheme will lead to multiplicity of cadres. It will be difficult for
four different structures like CSS, CSSS, CSCS and EA to co-exist.
(xiv) Rotation of EAs between Sections and Personal Staff may be difficult to
implement as the skill sets required for the both are vastly different. There is a
need to prescribe continuous tenure in personal section of an officer and the
cooling off period thereafter.
(xv) The existing CSS and CSSS can be merged in EA Scheme. DoPT was of the
view that merging of the cadres was not possible.
(xvi) The scheme is based on the assumption that the functioning of Secretariat
will become more IT based. It is possible to achieve the desired results by parting
training to the existing staff rather than by creating a new structure which will
take many years to stabilize.
(xvii) The Scheme can be implemented gradually.
(xviii) Implementation of the scheme should be done along with full
implementation of e-office and e-Governance initiatives.

6.5.0 This Department has also sought the views of Service Associations viz. CSS
and CSSS on the proposed Executive Assistant Scheme.
6.5.1 CSS Association has strongly opposed to the introduction of Executive
Assistant Scheme. It observed as under :
i. Skills required for CSS and CSSS are different
ii. The duties assigned to CSS and CSSS are entirely different as given in the
Manual on Office Procedure.
iii. EA Scheme is against specialization.
iv. It will compromise professionalism and there would a ‘chaos’ in the Central
Ministries and Departments.
v. This will badly affect the output of both CSS as well as CSSS.
vi. EA Scheme will adversely affect institutional memory.
vii. It will lead to lack of accountability and will reduce the commitment of
officers of CSS and officers coming under Central Staffing Scheme, thus
affecting the meticulous examination of the proposals related to policy, schemes,
monitoring etc.
viii. Cadre restructuring committees on CSS neither recommend EA Scheme nor
recommended merger of CSS and CSSS.
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 40
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
ix. The scheme of EA will badly damage the output/delivery of both the services
and is not in public interest.
x. The existing separate system of CSS and CSSS should continue with training
in the domain of their specialization to improve the capacity of delivery by both
the services.
6.5.2 CSSS Association favoured merger of CSS and CSSS and their support for
introduction of EA Scheme is presumed from this. However, as per the
recommendations of the VI Pay Commission, the existing incumbents of CSS and
CSSS would continue as separate cadres and only the future recruitment would
be in EA in place of existing CSS and CSSS. CSS Forum strongly opposes
introduction of EA Scheme.
6.5.3. The issue of introduction of EA Scheme was also referred to 7th CPC for
their views. The 7th CPC did not make any recommendation on introduction of
EA Scheme.
7.0 A Proposal for Executive Assistant (EA) Scheme
7.1 The proposal is based on the following assumptions and if any of these
assumptions were not to be valid the feasibility and viability of the scheme would
be affected:
(a) Existing CSS and CSSS cadres will continue: It is not proposed to disband the
existing cadres of CSS and CSSS. Although no fresh recruitment will be made in
these cadres, the existing officers will continue along with the EA cadre and it
would be only after 20-25 years that the EA system will become fully effective.
Apart from the fact that disbanding the CSS or CSSS cadres will be fraught with
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 41
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
implementation problems, proposed approach will enable a slow and gradual
transition which will also match with the anticipated pace of change in secretariat
functioning.
(b) Secretariat functioning will gradually become more IT based, reducing
reliance on paper: This is a key assumption. The recommendation of the 6th CPC
was made on the basis that with more IT based working, need for secretarial
support would decline. It is assumed that gradually (i) more and more offices
would move towards e-office which would reduce reliance on files and long file
nothings (ii) to the extent long file notings are required, officers would type them
on computer themselves, and (iii) if officers need assistance, EAs would be able
to take dictation and transcribe straight on the computer, obviating the need for
short hand.
(c) Reduced numbers in the Personal staff in Secretariat: At present 2-3 staff
members are attached as personal staff with senior officers while secretarial
assistance is provided up to the level of Desk officers. As the EAs would be better
qualified as compared to the current personal assistants and more reliance would
be on the IT based systems, it is assumed that the number of staff members in the
personal staff of senior officers would also be reduced.
(d) Reduced Numbers in Sections: Direct recruitment was discontinued at the
LDC level since the year 2003 and over a period of time large number of posts of
UDCs have been upgraded to the Assistants’ level. As a result, the combined
strength of LDCs and UDCs has declined from 10,774 in 2003 to a mere 1900 in
2015. This will further reduce to 1350 over the years. With the increased use of
information Technology based systems, the reduced strength of CSCS will not
affect the functioning of Secretariat. Some functions of secretariat such as Central
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 42
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
Registry, Work Station and Record Room etc. Which can be better managed by
this cadre may continue to be assigned to them asthey will not be posted in the
sections due to reduced strength. The posts of LDCs (and therefore, UDCs) will
continue to be required even in the long run to provide promotion opportunities
for the Multi Tasking Staff and hence CSCS cadre will continue.
(e) EAs for only core Secretariat posts: While the existing CSS and CSSS cadres
and the new EA cadre may still service the needs of statutory bodies, a view has
to be taken separately whether EA cadre should service the needs of some large
attached offices (such as CWC, CEA etc) and autonomous bodies, or these
organizations should develop their own cadres. However, as the existing CSS and
CSSS cadres will continue for another 20-25 years, for the purpose of the current
proposal it is assumed that requirement of these attached offices will continue to
be met from the existing cadres of CSS/CSSS till a decision regarding staffing of
these offices is taken. Thus, EA system would be introduced primarily for core
secretariat functions.
7.2 Key Features of the proposed EA Cadre
Cadre of EAs:
(a) The EAs will be recruited in GP Rs.4600/- as applicable to present day
Assistants, since redesignated as Assistant SO. They will be recruited through an
all India open competition conducted through SSC i.e through Combined
Graduate Level Examination.
(b) On their initial joining, they will be posted mandatorily in the personal section
of officers and Sections for a two year term each. After the initial four years,
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 43
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
posting in the next four years i.e. in the personal section or Section would be
optional and on the basis of preference exercised by the EAs/Officers.
(c) After six years of service, EAs will be eligible for promotion as EO in GP Rs.
4800/-
(d) 50% of vacancies in EO will be filled up through Limited Departmental
Competitive Examination conducted through UPSC, for which the eligibility
condition will be three years’ service in EA.
(e) On promotion as EO, one will have option of working in the personal staff of
Officer or to work in the Section. Accordingly, in the grades of EA and EO one
can be transferred from Section to personal staff on the basis of preference of the
officer or on the requirements of the Ministry/Department.
(f) Eos after four years of service EO will be placed in the non-functional scale
of GP Rs. 5400/-
(g) After, six years of service as EO, one will be eligible for promotion as US,
2/3rd of vacancies in the grade of US will be filled up through Limited
Departmental Competitive Examination through UPSC. Remaining 1/3rd
vacancies in US grade will be filled up through seniority quota on completion of
10 years of approved service in EO grade.
(h) Promotion from US to DS to Director grades will be as per the existing
residency periods.
(i) It is also proposed to post US as Staff Officer to Secretary/AS with a job
description that is more akin to that of a Private Secretary to the Minister. Posting

(m) Sections: There are approximately 3200 sections in the core secretariat
offices. These will be manned by Executive Officers as well as Executive
Assistants (EA). It is proposed to split the sections to be manned by EO and EA
in the ratio of 2:1 i.e. 2120 Sections will be manned by Eos and 1080 Sections
will be manned by EAs. Both EO and EA will function on desk pattern without

Total cadre strength 8178
The proposed EA Scheme envisages much reduced strength in Central Secretariat
which is at present approximately 21000 will stand reduced to about 8200.
7.4 Direct Recruitment at Executive Officer Level :
In the case of CSS, direct recruitment was being made at the level of SOs through
the combined Civil Services Examination. However, since 2000, no direct recruit
SO joined the service. During the first cadre restructuring of CSS in 2003, it was
decided to stop direct recruitment of SOs. The reasons for doing away with direct
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 47
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
recruitment in SO grade continue to hold good eve now. Further, the issue of
direct recruitment in SO grade was considered by 3rd Cadre Restructuring of CSS
which did not recommend reintroduction of direct recruitment in SO grade. On
the same analogy, it is not proposed to have direct recruitment in EO grade in the
proposed EA cadre.
7.5 Other issues in implementation
Once an in principle decision is taken to introduce the EA Scheme, details would
need to be worked out regarding recruitment rules and examination pattern and
also how the four services, namely EA, CSS, CSSS, CSCS will coexist in the
secretariat over the next 30 years.

3. For smooth, safe and secure functioning of e-PPO system for sending on line
digitally signed revision authorities to banks from CPAO, all the banks are
advised to ensure that:-
i) A provision is available in the banks to automatically incorporate the data
(XML file) received through e-Revision Authority in their Data Base. It will
reduce the time and likelihood of errors in data entry and ensure the correctness
of data.
ii) A system of acknowledgement by CPPCs of the daily receipts of the revision
authorities sent by CPAO has already been developed and the format of
acknowledgement has been prescribed and also put on the website
http://eppo.nicin for the CPPCs (attached for ready reference). Banks are to
ensure that acknowledgement are provided by them on daily basis through SFTP.
This will enable both CPAO and CPPCs to monitor timely processing of e-
authorities.

website to ensure the authenticity of officers of CPAO who are digitally signing
the revision authorities before processing of cases.
iv) The provision of archival and time stamping of digitally signed revision

digital signatures is two years, so that if any digital signature becomes time
barred, the authenticity and genuineness of e- authority previously signed and
sent by the officers of CPAO can be verified.

Dear Sir/Madam
Payment of Agency Commission on pension accounts
As you may be aware, agency banks are being compensated at Rs. 65 per
transaction for handling pension computation, payment and related services on
behalf of Central and State Governments. As per the norms followed by the
Government, a pensioner’s account should not have more than 14 credit
transactions in a calendar year attributable to pension and related arrear payments,
if any.
2. It has however come to our notice that certain banks are apportioning payment
of arrears on account of Dearness Relief (DR) and/or delay in start of pension
monthwise, thus, resulting in inflated agency commission claims. It is reiterated
that number of commisionable transactions for payment of agency commission
on account of pension in a year should not exceed 14. This includes one monthly
Disclaimer | Our books Go to top 116
7th Pay commission Central Government Employees News
GOVTEMPDIARY
credit for payment of net pension and a maximum of two per year for payment of
arrears on account of increase in DR, if applicable.
3. It is also reiterated that cases involving payment of arrears on account of late
start/restart of pension qualifies as a single transaction for claiming of agency
commission. In other words, any payment of arrears on account of late
start/restart of pension should be effected in a single credit transaction instead of
separate monthly credits.
4. Some of the Central Government Departments and State Governments prefer
to compute the pension figures on their own and pass them on to banks for
payment. Such transactions may be included under non-pension payments, on
which agency commission is payable on a turnover basis as per the existing norms
(currently at 5.5 paise per Rs. 100/-).

been paired with previous IPR and found correct”.
Further it has been observed in the previous instances that Officers while
furnishing their Annual IPR write “no change”, “same as last year” etc., which
do not provide basis for scrutiny and further linking. In this regard, it is requested
to enjoin upon all the Officers under your Group Control to invariably furnish the
full/complete detail of all the immovable property (ies) instead of above
mentioned remarks.
This may please be circulated to all concerned.
