Resolution and Principal \nDecisions of Government \nCabinet Secretariat \n(Establishment Branch) \nKarachi, the 8th November, 1950 \nRESOLUTION \nNo.F.25/4/50-Ests(SEI).— Before the Partition, the premier administrative \nService in India was the Indian Civil Service. This was a single service divided up into a \nnumber of cadres on a Provincial basis. Officers appointed to this Service were allotted to \nthe various Provinces and they remained members of the Indian Civil Service cadre of \ntheir Provinces throughout their careers. The Central Government met their own needs \nby the deputation of officers from the provinces. There was also in undivided India the \nIndian Political Service, the two main sources of recruitment to which were the Indian \nCivil Service and the Indian Army. \n2. \nThe Government of Pakistan have decided to constitute their Civil Service \nas a centralized Service on a All-Pakistan Basis. It will be called THE CIVIL SERVICE \nOF PAKISTAN. This decision has been taken in order to create a well-knit Civil Service \nfor the whole of Pakistan, constituted and operated on a centralized basis, thereby \nincreasing association between the various Provinces and developing homogeneity in \nadministration. The members of this Service, who shall be liable to be posted to any of \nthe Provinces of the Dominion, will be administratively more useful to the *Central as \nwell as the Provincial Governments than if they belonged to Provincial Cadres, because \nof the knowledge and experience they will acquire by serving in the Provinces of West \nPakistan as well as in [East Pakistan,] and uniform standards of administration in all \nparts of the Dominion will also be achieved. \n3. \nThe Civil Service of Pakistan shall consist of a *central cadre as distinct \nfrom the Provincial cadres of the former Indian Civil Service. All of the Service shall be \nliable to serve in any Province. \n \nThe Service shall consist of posts on the cadre of the former Indian Civil Service \nin the various Provinces and on the cadre of the former Indian Political Service and of \n \n Now Federal. \n Words ―East Pakistan‖ may be presumed as deleted. \n\nPage -14 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-2 \n \n \nmost of the higher posts in the Central Secretariat. [The posts which will form this \ncentralized cadre are mentioned in the Annexure].

The concept of All-Pakistan Services has been retained in the Constitution \nwith a broader national purpose, viz. national integration and cohesion. It is, therefore, \nemphasized that all matters pertaining to the appointment, promotion, transfer, etc. of \nmembers of the [All Pakistan Unified Grades] are the responsibility of Federal \nGovernment. \n \n11. \nIn the past, substantive appointments to posts in *Grade 18 were made on the \nrecommendations of the Federal Public Service Commission by the Federal Government after \nconsulting the Provinces concerned. This procedure was, however, reduced to a mere \nformality as the Provinces who were permitted to make officiating appointments on \ntemporary basis continued such appointments without interruption. For appointments to \n*Grades above 18, no reference to Federal Public Service Commission was necessary; in their \ncase recommendations were made by the Provinces to the Federal Government and with their \napproval promotions were made. While making officiating appointments or making \nrecommendations for promotions, the Provinces usually considered only those Government \nservants who were working within their jurisdiction. The cases of senior persons with good \nrecord of service working at the Centre or in other Provinces were generally not considered \nby the Provinces. This procedure now requires modification for various reasons. Firstly, under \nthe revised procedure consultation with Federal Public Service Commission in the matter of \nsubstantive promotion to *Grade 18 is no longer necessary and, therefore, distinction between \nofficiating and substantive appointments is no longer valid. Secondly, as a result of the \nintroduction of the administrative reforms a number of officers from other services have been \ninducted into All Pakistan Services.

The group will be under \nthe administrative control of the Foreign Ministry and will function within the following \nframework of procedure, rules and regulations etc. \n \n2. \nGrade 1-16.— These comprise posts of Peons, Daftries, Clerks, \nAssistants, @Stenographers and Office Superintendents. Recruitment will be partly by \npromotion and partly direct recruitment in accordance with the Civil Servants \n(Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973. As provided in the rules, where \nappointments are to be made from outside, the posts will be advertised. \n \n3. \n***Grade 17.— Initial entry to ***Grade 17 in the **Foreign Affairs \nGroup will continue to be made as at present through competitive examination conducted \nby Federal Public Service Commission. On completion of one year's training at the \nAcademy for Administrative Training@@, suitable candidates would be allocated to \n**Foreign Affairs Group on the basis of their ability and aptitude. Thereafter, they would \nbe given departmental or on-the-job training in such a manner that they are exposed to \nCommercial, Press etc., as well as Diplomatic work. \n \n4. \nAs in the case of @@@Accounts Group, the following two provisions are \nbeing made to enable educationally qualified persons in ***Grade 16 and below to secure \nentry in ***Grade 17. \n(a) \nThey can appear in the competitive examination conducted by F.P.S.C. \nupto the age of 30 years provided they have put in at least 2 years services. \n(b) \nThere will be a departmental examination under which departmental \ncandidates would be considered for promotion to ***Grade 17.

But apart from the need to meet such shortages, there would be regular \nlateral entry each year at 1st Secretary/ Director and Minister/Director General levels for \ncontinuous enrichment of the ***Foreign Affairs Group by induction of fresh blood from \nthe private sector as well as other occupational groups. For the next few years the \nMinistry of Foreign Affairs would submit a report every three months as to how the \nlateral system is working. On this report, the comments of the Establishment Division \nwould be obtained before submission to the Prime Minister. \n \n10. \nExposure to other Ministries.— In order to equip them better for \ndiplomatic work officers of the ***Foreign Affairs Group, in the course of their \nassignment in Pakistan, would be exposed to the work relating to Trade and Commerce, \nPlanning, Public Relations and Publicity and Economic matters. They would be posted, \non short term secondments, to Ministries/Organisations/ Corporations etc. dealing with \nthese and allied subjects. \n \n11. \n Secretariat Officers working in Foreign Office.— There are at present a \nlarge number of *Grade 17 and *Grade 18 officers belonging to the former Central \nSecretariat Service who are working in the Foreign Ministry and in Missions abroad. \nSome of them who are suitable would be permanently inducted into the *Foreign Affairs \nGroup and the rest would be withdrawn in a phased programme. \n \n12. \n Personnel Wing of the Foreign Ministry.— The two top posts in the \nPersonnel Wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be manned by officers, not \nbelonging to ***Foreign Affairs Group. \n \n13. \nSeniority etc.— A Unified Gradation List of officers of the ***Foreign \nAffairs Group will be prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, taking into account the \nabove decisions and in accordance with the principles already adopted for other groups \nviz-the seniority in each *Grade will be determined from the date of appointment to that \n*Grade.

As \nsuch, those candidates who change their occupational group as a result of repeating CSS \nCE will not repeat CTP, continue their posting in their former occupational group/service \nand join their new occupational group/service on the commencement of their respective \nSTPs only alongwith their batch mates of the new occupational group/service. This will \napply to the officers who are presently repeating the ongoing 45th CTP. \n \n4. \nNo officer will be allowed to join STP of their new occupational \nGroup/Service with the senior batch of any previous CTP to ensure comparative merit. \n \n5. \nThis O.M. supersedes all previous O.Ms in conflict with the above stated \nposition to the extent indicated above. \n \n6. \n Controlling Ministries/Divisions/Departments of various Occupational \nGroups/Services are advised to follow the above mentioned guidelines. \n \n[Authority.— Establishment Division‘s O.M.No.5/6/2017-T.V dated 01-02-2018]. \n \n Removal from Service (Special Powers) Ordinance,2000 has been repealed vide Section 2(1) of the Act No. \nIII of 2010. \n\nCHAPTER-2 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -81 \n \n \n \n4.2 \nDetermination of Inter-se-Seniority of \nOfficers of All Occupational Groups \n \nRefer to the subject above and to state that in light of Occupational Groups and \nServices (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules,1990, a number of queries have been \nreceived by this Division regarding determination of inter-se-seniority. According to sub-\nrule 4 of Rule 7 of Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) \nRules,1990 inter-se-seniority of probationers is determined on the basis of aggregate of \nfollowing marks obtained by the probationers. \ni) \nMarks obtained in the competitive examination of FPSC or notional marks \n(in case of inductees as per Rules 7(2); \nii) \nMarks obtained in the initial training program (CTP) or notional marks (in \ncase of inductees as per Rules 7(3); \niii) \nMarks obtained in the specialized training program (STP); \niv) \nMarks obtained by qualifying in Final Passing Out Examination in the \n‗first attempt‘. \n \n2. \nA question has arisen as to how the seniority of those probationers should \nbe fixed who are not able to qualify the Final Passing Out Examination in the first and \nsecond attempt. Matter is considered in Establishment Division and clarified as under:— \n(a) \nA probationer failing to qualify FPOE in first attempt will only have \nincrements withheld while his/her seniority will not be affected so long as \nhe/she passes in second attempt.

It is, therefore, necessary to check thoroughly the genuineness of certificates \nwhere the bonafides of persons employed after the 15th August, 1947 are in doubt. One \nmethod of checking is to make a reference to the universities which issued the certificates. If \nthis method does not prove successful, cross examination (and other suitable methods which \nmay be possible according to the merits of the case) of the individuals concerned by the \nappointing authorities themselves may be resorted to. The candidates concerned may also be \nrequired to produce two certificates from Gazetted officers in support of their claim to \neducational qualifications. \n \n2. \n There may also be cases where the certificates produced are genuine but \nthere is a reasonable doubt that they do not relate to the persons producing them. In such \ncases, the matter will have to be referred to the District Police authorities for investigation \nand report. \n \n3. \n In so far as the competitive examinations conducted by the Federal Public \nService Commission are concerned, the original age and educational certificates submitted by \nthe candidates with their applications are fully checked, and necessary enquiries made in all \ndoubtful cases. But, as regards recruitment by selection, the candidates are not generally \nrequired to submit their original certificates with their applications. Only attested copies are \ncalled for. In these cases, it is essential for the appointing authorities to verify the claims of the \ncandidates as regards age and educational qualifications in the same manner in which their \nantecedents are verified before appointment. If it is found that a forged certificate has been \nproduced or that the individual, producing a certificate, is not the one to whom it was issued, \nsuitable disciplinary action must be taken against the person concerned, including dismissal \nfrom government service, (if the persons are in government service) and a ban on future \nemployment. In specific cases the matter should be reported to the Police for criminal \nprosecution. \n \n4. \nGenerally, candidates for recruitment made by selection are required to send \npassport size copies of their photographs with their applications. But this is not compulsory. \nIt is considered desirable to ask all candidates to submit such photographs with their \napplications. \n \n[Authority:– Estt.

It has now been decided by the Government of Pakistan that recruitment from \nabroad should be made in the manner indicated in the following paragraphs. \n \n2. \nIf a Ministry considers that it is necessary to make recruitment to civil \nposts from abroad, it should make a reference to the Federal Public Service Commission, \nasking them to agree to such recruitment and if they agree, to proceed without delay to \ntake all the steps necessary to make such recruitment. The Federal Public Service \nCommission will themselves advertise the post or posts abroad and make necessary \narrangements for the candidates to be interviewed by Special Selection Committee. \nThereafter, the Federal Public Service Commission will make recommendations for the \nfilling of the post or posts in question. In no case should the Ministry itself take steps to \nadvertise the post. \n \n3. \nThere may, however, be exceptional cases in which the Ministries \nconcerned are of the view that recruitment from abroad through the Federal Public \nService Commission will prove infructuous, e.g., in the case of appointments to highly \ntechnical posts or other posts of considerable importance in connection with which \npersons of high standing abroad are not likely to respond to advertisements and appear \nfor interviews. In such cases, which should be very rare, the prior approval of the Prime \nMinister will be necessary for recruitment to be made by the Ministry concerned without \nthe assistance of the Federal Public Service Commission. The procedure to be adopted in \nsuch cases will be that the matter should be referred to the Establishment Division so that \nthe orders of the Prime Minister can be obtained. Such reference to the Establishment \nDivision should be made only after the Federal Public Service Commission have first \nagreed to recruitment to the post in question being made from abroad, and it should be \naccompanied by a Summary for the Prime Minister, explaining why it is necessary for \nrecruitment to be made otherwise than through the Federal Public Service Commission \nand showing what steps the Ministry have in mind for filling the post or posts in question. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.11/18/49-SE-II, dated 17-1-1951]. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ‗Federal‘. \n\nPage -114 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-3 \n \n \nII. FRAMING OF RECRUITMENT RULES \n \n2.1 \nFraming of Recruitment Rules \n \nThe methods of appointment of Federal civil posts are regulated under the \nprovisions of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973 framed \nunder Section 25 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. As these rules provide the basic framework \nfor appointment to Federal civil posts, instructions were issued vide Establishment Division \nO.M.No. 9/1/73-D.V., dated 29.11.73 laying down a simplified format for notifying \nrecruitment rules since the earlier pattern of detailed recruitment rules for various \nposts/cadres was no longer considered necessary. The system has its advantages but over the \nyears, the framing of recruitment rules has become an increasingly mechanical exercise and \nis now reduced to simply inserting uniform standards (of educational requirements, \nexperience, age limits, etc) for equivalent posts in various departments. As a result, the \nrecruitment rules are no more viewed as important and essential instruments of career \nplanning nor do they properly reflect the job requirements particularly in technical \nposts/cadres. This trend should be reversed and recruitment rules for various posts/cadres \nshould be framed with greater care to serve, on the one hand, as instruments of career \nplanning for the officials concerned and on the other, be tailored around the job requirements \nparticularly in technical cadres. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, requested that, while framing recruitment rules, due \nconsideration should be given to job descriptions for laying down the qualifications/ \nexperience for posts and the composition of cadre for prescribing percentage, for direct \nrecruitment and promotions. Efforts should be made to safeguard both the department's \ninterest in raising a fully-qualified and experienced cadre and the career interests of its \nmembers whose promotions are governed under the provisions of recruitment rules. \n \n3. \nEstablishment Division has also noticed that some Divisions/ Departments \nhave framed recruitment rules for isolated posts or very small cadres (comprising 3-4 posts) \nlike telephone operators, lady health visitors, teachers of departmental schools, etc. This is \nnot a satisfactory arrangement because such isolated posts or tiny cadres do not offer \nadequate prospects of promotion to the incumbents. In such cases, it would be advisable to \nfill the posts by having officials on deputation from departments which have large cadres \noperating in the relevant field, such as T&T Department* in the case of telephone operators, \nFederal/ Provincial Health/Education Departments in the case of lady health visitors and \nteachers, etc. The Divisions/Departments are, therefore, advised not to frame separate \nrecruitment rules for their isolated posts or very small cadres where officials with requisite \nskills are available in other federal/provincial departments. The posts of the type under \nreference may be filled by deputation on tenure basis. \n \n4. \nAs a matter of general policy, a person below the age of 18 years cannot be \nemployed as a government servant. Other than this limitation, prescribing minimum age \nlimits for each post is not only unnecessary but leaves the possibility of denying opportunity \n \n* T&T Department **was converted into Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Ltd. (PTCL) which has been \nprivatized as Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd. (PTCL) by the Government of Pakistan. However, \nthere is now National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) for the telecommunication needs of \ngovernment.** [Erstwhile] Telephone and Telegraph Department. \n\nCHAPTER-3 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -115 \n \n \nto some otherwise qualified and capable candidates on a mere technicality. It has, therefore, \nbeen decided that, while framing recruitment rules, no conditions regarding minimum age be \nmentioned. In the existing cases, Ministries/Divisions may consider the matter and take steps \nto amend the rules, wherever necessary. \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.

It has also been observed that the finalization of recruitment \nrules take considerable time and the F.P.S.C. do not entertain requisitions for regular \nappointments or proposals for first extension in ad-hoc appointments unless the rules \nhave been notified. This leads to avoidable administrative complications besides causing \nfinancial hardship to the ad-hoc appointees. Ministries/Divisions are, therefore, advised \nto invariably draft their recruitment rules in the light of model rules already circulated \nand follow up their finalization/notification on top priority basis so that the time-lag is \nreduced to the barest minimum. Wherever necessary, Ministries/ Divisions may hold \njoint meetings with the Establishment Division/FPSC so as to eliminate delay in the \nfinalization of the recruitment rules. \n[Authority.– Estt.

DETERMINATION OF DOMICILE \n \n5.1 \nDetermination of Domicile \n \nReference Establishment Division's O.M. No. 2/2/67-D.V., dated the 26th August, \n1968. It has been observed that the instructions contained therein for determining the domicile \nof candidates while making appointment to posts are not being complied with faithfully in \nsome cases. These instructions clearly provide that a candidate belonging to Pakistan by \norigin should be considered for appointment on the basis of domicile of his father. Similarly, a \nmigrant candidate should be considered only against the quota of the province/region where \nhis parents are domiciled and where they have resided for at least three years. In case the \nparents of a migrant candidate have not migrated to Pakistan, he should be considered for \nappointment on the basis of his own domicile. All the Ministries/Divisions are requested that, \nwhile making ad-hoc appointments against the posts required to be filled through FPSC, they \nshould carefully examine the domicile of the candidates in the light of the above instructions. \nThis may also kindly be brought to the notice of all the departments/organizations under their \nadministrative control for strict compliance. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.2/2/77-W.C/R.2 dated 13-10-1987]. \n5.2 \nDetermination of Domicile for the Purpose of \nAppointments Against Provincial/Regional Quotas \n \nAccording to the decisions contained in the Establishment Division Office \nMemorandum No.25/113/ 54-SE I, dated the 4th January, 1956 (Annex-I) and Office \nMemorandum No. 1/12/56-R, dated the 14th February, 1958 (Annex-II), while a \ncandidate belonging to Pakistan by origin can claim appointment only against the quota \nof the province/ region to which the father of such a candidate belongs, the candidates \nwho have migrated to Pakistan have different options for claiming appointment against \nprovincial/regional quotas. The matter has, therefore, been reconsidered with a view to \nrationalizing the policy regarding determination of domicile of the candidates for \ngovernment service, and the following revised orders are issued, in partial modification \nof the existing instructions:— \n(i) \nThere should be no change in the policy regarding the persons belonging \nto Pakistan by origin, i.e., they should continue to be considered for \nappointment only against the quota of the province/region to which the \nfather of such a candidate belongs. \n(ii) \nA migrant candidate, whether residing in Pakistan or abroad, should be \nconsidered for appointment only against the quota of the province/region \nwhere his parents are domiciled and where they have resided for at least 3 \nyears. However, the condition of 3 years' residence should be deemed to \nbe fulfilled if the parents are officially domiciled in a particular \nprovince/region but have been living in some other areas for a number of \nyears due to exigencies of service. For this purpose, the candidate will be \nrequired to produce a domicile certificate from a competent authority that \nhis parents are domiciled in the province/region concerned. \n(iii) In case the parents of a migrant candidate have not been considered for \nappointment against the quota of the province/region where he himself is \ndomiciled and has resided or has been educated for a continuous period of \n\nPage -148 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-3 \n \n \nthree years immediately before applying for appointment and \nconsideration against the quota of a province/region. \n \n2. \nThe decisions above may please be brought to the notice of all concerned \nfor guidance in future. \n [Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No.2/2/67-DV, dated 26-8-1968]. \n(ANNEX I) \n(See 5.2 para 1) \n[Copy of Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.25/113/54-SEI, dated the 4th January, 1956]. \n \nProvincial Quotas on the Basis of Domicile Certificates: The recruitment policy \nof government, according to which recruitment to the Central Services is made, is based \non a system of Provincial quotas. These quotas were meant for candidates who belonged \nby origin to the provinces of Pakistan, or who, on migration from Indian provinces had \npermanently settled down in one of the Pakistan Provinces. However, by means of \ndomicile certificates, a large number of candidates who had come over from India but \nhad not permanently settled in any Pakistan Province were able to enter the *Central \nServices, thus shutting out candidates belonging by origin to Pakistan provinces from \ntheir due share in the administration of the country. What these candidates did was to file \ndeclarations before District Magistrates, to the effect that they had renounced their \nprevious domicile and that they had resided for over a year in such provinces as (East \nBengal), Sindh and the **N.W.F.P., where competitive conditions were comparatively \neasier. Having obtained such certificates of domicile on the strength of these \ndeclarations, the veracity of which could seldom be properly checked, these candidates \nwould leave that particular province and have no further connection with it. They would \nthen prepare themselves for examinations in areas where educational facilities were better \nbut, by virtue of their domicile certificates, they demanded to be considered for \nappointment against the quota of one of the above provinces in which they claimed to be \ndomiciled, provided, of course, that they had qualified in the examinations. In actual \nfact, the Domicile Certificate merely made a refugee candidate eligible for appearing in \nan examination for appointment to a post in Pakistan and did not confer any right on him \nto be appointed against the quota of a particular province. \n \n2. \nIn order to ensure that government's recruitment policy is properly carried \nout and that no candidate enters the *Central Services against the quota of a province \nwho does not belong to that province either by origin or through settling down \npermanently there, government consider it necessary to provide a check against the entry \ninto the Central* Services of candidates who claim to be considered against provincial \nquotas on spurious grounds. It has, therefore, been decided that, in the case of candidates \nwho qualify for appointment to the *Central Services, but who do not belong, by origin, \nto any Pakistan province, they should be admitted against the quota of the province in \nwhich they claim to have settled permanently, provided there is proof of three years' \nresidence/ education in the province against whose quota they claim to be considered. \n \n ‗Federal Services/Groups‘. \n** Now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. \n\nCHAPTER-3 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -149 \n \n \nThis can be established in most cases from educational certificates which the candidates \nwill file with their application. In other cases, where a candidate has been educated in a \nprovince for a shorter period although he claims to have resided there for 3 years, other \nevidence must be produced by the candidate to support his claim. In the case, however, \nof a refugee candidate studying abroad, or in some parts of Pakistan other than the \nprovince against whose quota he claims to be considered, the condition of three years' \nresidence in that Province should be deemed to be satisfied, if the parents of such a \ncandidate have resided in the Province in question for three years. \n \n3. \nThe decision outlined in the preceding paragraph does not mean that \nrefugee candidates, who fail to prove their claim that they belong to a particular area, are \nshut out from appointments to the *Central Services. As Ministries are aware, the \nrecruitment policy provides a 20% merit quota and a refugee candidate, who does not \nsatisfy the above requirements, can take his chance in that quota. Finally, it may be \nadded that, in the case of a candidate whose father belongs by birth or by origin to a \nPakistan province, it is immaterial where he has received his education or has resided. \nSuch a candidate will be considered, for appointment against the quota of vacancies \nreserved for that province without any check. \n \n4. \nThe above decision will not be affected by the coming into existence of \none province in West Pakistan as no change in the existing recruitment policy is \ncontemplated. The recruitment policy in respect of services and posts under the *Central \nGovernment will continue to operate in those areas which constitute the previous \nProvinces and which will now be expressed in terms of districts comprising those areas. \n(ANNEX II) \n(See 5.2, para 1) \n \n[Copy of Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. 1/12/56-R, dated \nthe 14th February, 1958]. \n \nAttention is invited to the Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. \n25/113/54-SEI, dated the 4th January, 1956 in which instructions were issued that in the case \nof a refugee candidate studying abroad or in some parts of Pakistan other than the province \nagainst whose quota he claims to be considered, the conditions of three years' residence in that \nprovince should be deemed to be satisfied, if the parents of such a candidate have resided in \nthe province in question for three years. It, therefore, follows by implication that in the case of \nthose candidates, whose parents have acquired the domicile in a province/zone, but who, due \nto the exigencies of service, have been serving outside that province/zone, for a number of \nyears, the conditions of 3 years residence for that province (for the candidate) will be deemed \nto have been fulfilled for the purpose of being considered against the quota of that \nprovince/zone. \n5.3 \nMarried Female Candidates - \nDetermination of Domicile \n \nAccording to the decisions contained in the Estt. Division‘s O.M No. \n2/2/67-DV, dated the 26th August, 1968, the domicile of a candidate is to be determined \n \n* Federal. \n\nPage -150 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-3 \n \n \non the basis of the domicile of his or her parents and if the parents of a migrant candidate \nhave not migrated to Pakistan, on the basis of his or her own residence and education in \nthe province in which he or she is domiciled. A question has arisen whether a female \nmarried candidate can be considered to have the same domicile as that of her husband. \nThe matter has been considered and it has been decided that the domicile of a married \nfemale candidate may be accepted to be the same as that of her husband for the purposes \nof direct recruitment. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.F.8/5/75-WC, dated 12-8-1975]. \n5.4 \nCandidates Not Required to Show Place of Birth \nof their Fathers for Purposes of Domicile \n \nAs the Ministries/ Divisions are aware, the government observes provincial/ \nregional quotas in filling vacancies reserved for direct recruitment to posts under the \nFederal Government. It has been brought to the notice of the government that candidates \nfor appointment to federal posts are sometimes required to state the place of birth of their \nfather. This information is not relevant to the determination of domicile of a candidate. \nThe government have, therefore, decided that, in future, no candidate will be asked to \nstate the place of birth of his father. However, the requirement of stating the domicile of \nfather and other particulars like name, address etc., will continue to be observed as \nbefore. \n \n2. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are requested to give wide publicity to these \ninstructions. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.2/5/77/WC/R-IX, dated 11-1-1978]. \n5.5 \nChange of Domicile After Entry \ninto Government Service \n \nA question has arisen whether a person who entered (into) government service \non the basis of domicile of a particular province/ region of Pakistan can subsequently \nchange his domicile during his service. As a citizen of Pakistan, a government servant \ncan change his domicile according to the law and the rules made thereunder. It has, \nhowever, been decided that the domicile of a government servant as declared by him and \naccepted by government at the time of entry into government service should be treated as \nfinal throughout his service career and no subsequent change in his domicile should be \nrecognized for the purpose of terms and conditions of his service including his allocation \nand liability to transfer. \n[Authority:– Estt.

Division‘s O.M. No. 3/3/59-E VII, dated 4-6-1960]. \n7.7 \nSupply of Character Rolls \nto the Commission \n \nThe Commission have noticed that many Character Rolls they receive in \nconnection with selections, appointments, etc., are incomplete. Sometimes, reports for \nseveral years are missing, making it difficult for the Commission to determine the \nsuitability of the officers concerned for the posts for which they are being considered. \nThe Commission, therefore, request the Ministries/Divisions to satisfy themselves that \nCharacter Rolls are complete and up-to-date before sending them to the Commission. \n2. \nThe Ministries/Divisions and the Heads of the Departments should forward the \nCharacter Rolls as quickly as possible on demand by the Commission. \n[Authority.- FPSC‘s O.M.No.F.16/17/53-S, dated 24-04-1953 & FPSC‘s O.M.No.F.1/30/53-R, \ndated 06-12-1956]. \n \n7.8 \nNomination of Departmental Representatives \n \n \nto Assist the Commission at the Interviews for \n \n \nVarious Posts \n \nThe Federal Public Service Commission has observed that the government's \ninstructions are not being followed strictly by the Ministries/ Divisions/Departments \nwhile nominating Departmental Representatives to assist the Commission at the \ninterviews for recruitment to various posts. The Commission has also noted with \nprofound regret that its requests to Ministries etc. concerned to nominate Departmental \nRepresentatives of relevant trades (subject wise) of sufficiently higher status i.e. not below the \nrank of Joint Secretary and or technical head of the line are not being complied with. \n \n2. \nRecently, during interviews of candidates for certain technical/ specialist \nposts, the Departmental Representatives deputed to assist the Commission were officers \n\nCHAPTER-3 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -261 \n \n \non administrative side, who were not sufficiently senior in their own departments and/or \nqualified in technical line. In order to assess the professional competence of the \ncandidates properly and accurately, it is necessary that senior officers of technical \ndepartments with requisite qualifications are deputed by the Ministries/etc. to assist the \nCommission at the interviews for appointment to the scientific, technical and specialist \nposts. One of the drawbacks of government representation at junior level is obvious from \nsome instances in which the Ministries/Divisions/Departments find it necessary to \nrepudiate the contribution made by their own representatives at the interviews, on the \ngrounds that they were not sufficiently experienced and, therefore, could not represent the \npoint of view of their Ministries/Divisions/Departments authoritatively. \n \n3. \nThe Commission fully realises that, from the point of view of \nDepartmental Representatives, interviewing of candidates at the four normal centres viz: \nPeshawar, Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, is a time consuming job, in order to finish one \ncomplete cycle for any appointment. For *Grade 18 and above posts, the Commission \ngenerally conducts interviews at one centre, but for others the Commission has to go to \neach place of interviews. \n \n4. \nIn repeating its invitation to the Ministries etc. the Commission hopes \nearnestly that, at the interviews fixed by the Commission for selection of their candidates, \ntheir representation will invariably be not below the rank of Joint Secretary or head of \ntechnical department. \n \n5. \nIn case of technical posts, the Commission would request that the heads of \ntechnical departments concerned should invariably be nominated for this purpose who \nwill take full responsibility for giving the views of his department to the Commission. It \nis further requested that, as far as possible, the same representative should be deputed at \nall interview centres for a particular post, in order to ensure uniformity of standards. If \nthe Ministries/Divisions/Departments are not in a position to nominate a suitable \nDepartmental Representative of the right status, then the Commission will do without \nhim and issue the recommendations for appointment without such help. \n[Authority.- FPSC‘s O.M.No.F.1/20/80-RIV, dated 19-4-1981]. \n7.9 \nVariation Between Views of Departmental \nRepresentatives at the Interview and Commission's \nAdvertisements for Various Posts \n \nThere have been some cases where Departmental Representatives have, before \nan interview, suggested that they choose person with a particular qualification. This \nparticular qualification has no particular emphasis in the advertisement and, therefore, it \nis grossly unfair on the candidates who come in response to that advertisement. \n \n* BPS. \n\nPage -262 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-3 \n \n \n \n2. \n[X \nX \nX \nX \nX \nX] \n \n 3. \nAs far as the Commission is concerned, it only relies on the recruitment rules. \nIt would be in the interest of departments to review their recruitment rules so that there is no \nconflict between the recruitment rules and the Departmental Representatives. The \nCommission will, while taking the advice of the Departmental Representative, reserve the \nright to recommend only those who are in line and in accordance with the advertisement. \n[Authority.- Paras 1 & 3 of FPSC‘s letter No. F.1/35/78-RIV dated 29-1-1979]. \n7.10 Criteria for Counting of Prescribed \nLength of Experience for Recruitment \nto Various Posts \n \n Attention is invited to the Establishment Division's O.M. No. 39/3/75-DV (Pt), \ndated the 22nd October, 1976, and clause 'c' of para 19 of the ―INSTRUCTIONS TO \nCANDIDATES‖. A copy of these instructions is duly supplied to the candidates \nalongwith the prescribed application forms. In all the posts which are advertised by the \nCommission for selection on the basis of interview only, certain period of experience is \ngenerally prescribed for such posts, alongwith academic qualifications. In such cases, the \nCommission considers that experience relevant which is obtained after acquiring the \nminimum prescribed educational qualifications for the post. Experience obtained before \nacquiring the minimum prescribed educational qualification, even if it is of the same line, \nis not taken into consideration. \n \n2. \nThe above procedure has often resulted in the rejection of candidates who \nhappen to be the ad hoc incumbents of the post or employed in some other capacity in the \nsame department. Applications of all the candidates are duly considered by the \nCommission but candidates who fall short of the required experience after the prescribed \nminimum academic qualifications are not called for interview. This results in the \nrepresentations from the candidates or even from the departments who are keenly \ninterested in the regularization of their ad hoc incumbents. The Establishment Division \nmemorandum referred to above and a copy of the `INSTRUCTIONS TO THE \nCANDIDATES' is, therefore, brought to the notice of the department to enable them to \nknow the procedure being followed by the Commission for pre-selection of candidates \nfor interview, etc. For obvious reasons, the Commission cannot deviate from the \nprocedure once laid down and known to all. \n \n3. \nHowever, there may be cases in which experience gained before acquiring \nthe prescribed minimum educational qualifications may also be considered relevant by \nMinistries, etc. For example, for a medical post where post-graduate Diploma is \nprescribed as a minimum qualification, the experience gained after the Medical Degree \nbut before the Diploma is often considered as relevant if so prescribed in the \nCommission's advertisement. \n \n4. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are, therefore, requested that wherever they \nconsider that the experience gained before acquiring the minimum prescribed educational \n\nCHAPTER-3 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -263 \n \n \nqualification should also be accepted as relevant, this should be made clear while \nforwarding the requisitions for the posts and full justification may be given for providing \nthis relaxation in the interest of service. The departments will also be required to certify \nthat this relaxation of the general procedure had the approval of the Secretary of the \nMinistry/Division concerned. The Commission after due consideration of the proposal \nmay agree to advertise this condition in its advertisements, so that the candidates \nconcerned should know it before applying for the posts. Unless such a clearance is given in \nthe requisition for the posts concerned and advertised by the Commission accordingly, it will \nnot be possible for the Commission to deviate from the general practice stated above. \n[Authority.— FPSC‘s letter No.F.8/13/81-S, dated 08-7-1981]. \n \n7.11 Re-allocation Against the Vacancies \nCaused by Repeaters/Non-Joiners \n \nIn supersession of the Establishment Division‘s O.M of even number dated 18th \nJune,1990 on the above subject, it has been decided with the approval of the competent \nauthority that w.e.f. Competitive Examination-1990 following system/procedure with regard \nto re-allocation against the vacancies caused by the repeaters/non-joiners will be adopted:— \n \na) \nIn the first phase, Establishment Division will issue telegrams to all the \ncandidates allocated to various occupational groups/services with the advice to \neach candidates that he/she should convey his/her acceptance of the offer \nwithin 15 days from the date of issue of telegram failing which allocation will \nbe treated as cancelled and the vacancy will be offered to the next eligible \ncandidate. Simultaneously, the allocation made by the FPSC will also be \nannounced in all the leading newspapers with similar advice to the candidates. \n \nb) In the second phase the vacancies occurring due to non-acceptance of offer \nwithin 15 days of the announcement will be reported to the FPSC for \ncompleting re-allocation before the commencement of the common training \nprogramme at the Civil Services Academy, Lahore. Any vacancy occurring \nafter the start of the common training will be carried over to the next \ncompetitive examination. \n \nc) \nThe announcement of initial allocation shall be made 45 days before the \nannouncement of common training at CSA to ensure timely completion of \nboth the phases indicated above. \n [Authority.— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 1/29/87-T.V dated 19-03-1991]. \n7.12 Withdrawal or Change of Requisition by the \nAdministrative Ministries/ Divisions/Departments \nfor Posts Already Advertised by the Commission \n \nIt has been decided that:— \n(i) \nThe requests received from Ministries/Divisions, Departments for \nwithdrawal of cases wherein interviews have been started or nominations \nfinalized would not be accepted.

No. 10/5/60-D.V.,dated 6th November, 1962, and Memo. No.10/2/60-D.V, dated \n17th September, 1964. It is stated that in the light of the decisions contained therein \nprovisions on the following lines may be made in the recruitment rules. \n(i) \nIn Case of Ex-Cadre Gazetted Posts: \n \n―The maximum age limit will be relaxed in the case of released/ retired \nofficers of the armed forces of Pakistan upto a maximum of 10 years or \nby the number of years an officer has actually served the armed forces, \nwhichever is less.‖ \n(ii) \nIn Case of Non-Gazetted Civil Posts which are Filled Otherwise Than by a \nCompetitive Examination Held by FPSC: \n \n―The maximum age limit will be relaxed in the case of released/ retired \npersonnel of the armed forces of Pakistan upto a maximum of 10 years or by \nthe number of years a person has served the armed forces, whichever is less.‖ \n(iii) In Case of Both Ex-Cadre Gazetted Posts and Non-Gazetted Civil Posts: \n \nReleased/retired officers/personnel of the armed forces will be preferred to \ncandidates from the open market provided they possess the requisite \neducational and other qualifications and are otherwise suitable. \nNote.- \nFor the purpose (i) above, ex-cadre posts means odd jobs or isolated posts. \n[Authority:– Estt.

No. 5(1)/2/65-D.V., dated 10-3-1966]. \n9.6 \nEmployment of Ex-servicemen in \nGovernment Departments against \nPosts in BPS 1-4 \n \nAttention is invited to the government decision notified in 1962 to the effect that \nin filling ex-cadre posts, released/retired officers of the armed forces should be preferred \nto candidates from the open market provided they possess the requisite educational and \nother qualifications and are otherwise suitable. Instructions were also issued in 1964 for \naccording preference to released/retired armed forces (Non- Commissioned) personnel \nfor employment in civil posts over candidates from the open market provided they \npossessed the educational and other qualifications and were otherwise suitable. The \ninstructions provide that the maximum age limit may be relaxed up to a maximum of 10 \nyears or the number of years a person has actually served in the Armed Forces whichever \n\nPage -290 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-3 \n \n \nis less. In respect of Class IV jobs, and Class III posts of staff car drivers, the instructions \nprovide for reservation of 50% vacancies for ex-servicemen. \n \n2. \nThe Ministry of Defence have reported that despite these instructions, the \nefforts of GHQ to provide employment for the maximum number of ex-servicemen have \nnot achieved the desired result. The above instructions are brought to the notice of all \nMinistries/Divisions, the Attached Departments and the Subordinate Offices with the \nrequest that all appointing authorities should ensure strict observance of these instructions \nso that the maximum possible number of ex-servicemen are absorbed in civil posts. \n \n3. \nThere may also be vacancies both under the Federal Government and the \nProvincial Governments for which suitably-qualified and experienced candidates from the \nopen market may not be readily available. GHQ is of the view that released/retired armed \nforces personnel who are not only experienced, energetic, discipline and reliable but also \ndutiful and willing to work under abnormal conditions, can be suitably employed in the \nexisting vacancies. It is, therefore, requested that vacancies for which suitable \ndepartmental/direct recruits are not available should be reported to the Ministry of Defence, \nRawalpindi, so that GHQ may be asked to provide a panel of suitable ex-servicemen for \nselection by the appointing authorities. \n \n4. \nThe instructions in para 3 above do not apply to posts recruitment to \nwhich is required to be made, under the relevant rules, through the Federal Public Service \nCommission. All vacancies in such posts should continue to be reported to the \nCommission. The eligible ex-servicemen may apply direct to the Commission when the \nposts are advertised. However, the Ministries/Divisions and the various Departments \nunder them some time do make ad-hoc appointments against posts which are normally \nrequired to be filled through the Federal Public Service Commission, subject to \nreplacement by the Federal Public Service Commission nominees and in accordance with \nthe instructions regarding ad-hoc appointments issued by Establishment Division from \ntime to time. It is requested that particulars of vacancies which are intended to be filled \non ad-hoc basis, by appointment of persons not already serving in the department, may \nalso be communicated to Ministry of Defence. The ex-servicemen, if appointed on ad-\nhoc basis, shall be subject to replacement by the F.P.S.C. nominees. \n \n5. \nIt is also requested that suitable instructions may be issued by the \nMinistries/Divisions to the various autonomous bodies and semi-autonomous bodies \nunder them to employ ex-servicemen in as large a number as possible and for this \npurpose, details of the posts and the qualifications and experience required may be \ncommunicated to Ministry of Defence so that names of suitable ex-serving officers and \nmen may be communicated to them for selection. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 17/1/68-D.III, dated 18-10-1971]. \n9.7 \nEmployment of Ex-Servicemen and \nPakistan Armed Services Board (PASB) \n \nIn supersession of the existing practice when a vacancy occurs against the quota \nreserved for ex-servicemen, the demand for filling in such a vacancy should be placed on \nthe Pakistan Armed Services Board Secretariat in the Ministry of Defence. The P.A.S.B. \nSecretariat will meet the required demand from its own pool or its Provincial Directorate. \nIn case an ex-serviceman with the required qualifications etc. is not available, the \n\nCHAPTER-3 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page -291 \n \n \nP.A.S.B.

It will be appreciated that to meet the demand for re-employment \nof ex-servicemen at least one month's time is needed to enable the Board to call up \ncandidates from their villages, conduct their interviews, select suitable personnel and \nforward their names to the requisitioning departments. At present the requisitioning \ndepartments are giving the Pakistan Armed Services Board only 3 to 4 days time within \nwhich all these formalities are to be completed. It is well nigh impossible to complete the \nrequired formalities within such a short time. \n \n2. \nIn case the demand is large it would always be available for the \nrequisitioning departments to contact the Pakistan Armed Services Board and its subordinate \noffices at the provincial/district level, seek their advice and chalk out a coordinated plan for \nthe accomplishment of the task. \n \n3. \nIt is requested that the Federal Ministries/Divisions may kindly be advised to \ninstruct the departments/organizations under their control to allow a minimum period of one \nmonth to the Pakistan Armed Services Board for providing the names of suitable \nex-servicemen for re-employment. \n9.8 \nReservation of 50% Vacancies in BPS 1-3 \nand in BPS 4 of Staff Car Driver/Despatch \nRider for Armed Forces Personnel \n \nReference Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. 25/86/52-SE I, \ndated the 10th November, 1953.

It is stated that \naccording to the existing instructions all cases of induction/ re-employment on contract of \nserving retired officers of the armed forces in civil posts are required to be processed \nthrough the Defence Services Officers' Selection Board. It has now been decided by the \nPrime Minister that cases of extension in contract re-employment should also be \nprocessed through the Board. \n \n2. \nCases for extension in contract re-employment are placed before the Board \nafter obtaining a panel of two or more officers in each case from the Ministry of Defence. \nThe Board considers such cases in the light of recommendations of the administrative \nMinistries/Divisions/Departments, performance/ service record of the officer and \nexigencies of the service. Recording of minutes of the meetings and completion of other \nformalities such as submission of summaries to the Prime Minister and soliciting his \norders take sufficiently long time.

Recommendations of Departmental Committees \nconcerning promotions from Class II to Class I shall, also be subject to the approval of \nthe Federal Public Service Commission. \n \n3. \nThe Committee to be established in each Ministry should consist of the \nSecretary or an officer nominated by him and at least two other officers who preferably \nshould be officers familiar with the work of candidates for promotion. \n \n4. \nIt will be open to each Ministry to have more than one Committee for \ndealing with promotions to different categories of posts, e.g., one Committee for \npromotion to posts of Superintendents and another for promotion to other posts. Where \nseparate Committees are set up, it will be desirable to maintain liaison between them by \nhaving, for example, a common member. \n \n5. \nThe Public Service Commission should be associated with these \nCommittees to the greatest extent possible. The Commission should invariably be invited \nto depute a member to sit on all Committees dealing with promotions to and within any \nCentral Service, Class I. It may not be practicable for the Commission, at any rate at \npresent, to be represented on all Committees in connection with promotions to and within \nthe Central Service, Class II, but the list of such services under the control of each \nMinistry should be examined in order to determine whether or not there are any services \nin making promotions to which it is particularly desirable to have the Commission \nrepresented in the relevant Committee. \n \n6. \nThe promotions recommended will, to the extent desired by the Minister, \nbe subject to the approval of the Minister in charge. \n \n7. \nThe association of the Commission to the extent contemplated, with these \ndepartmental promotion Committees is not intended to remove the necessity for a formal \nreference of a proposal to the Commission in cases where the consultation with the \nCommission is necessary under statutory rules. \n \n8. \nThe Committees should follow the method of maintaining a list of persons \nfit for promotion and no departure from the order in that list should be made without the \nauthority of the Committee provided that when the public interest demands an officer not \nin the list and not next in the order of the list may be appointed for a period not exceeding \nfour months. The list should be revised and brought up-to-date annually. \n \n9. \nAs regards Class III services, Ministries and Heads of Departments should \nconsider organizing Committees on such similar or other lines as might appear suitable to \nthem. It is left open to them to make their own arrangements in regard to Class III \nappointment. \n \n10. \nMinistries are requested to proceed with the formation of Departmental \nPromotion Committees and to supply the Establishment with copies of relevant orders not \nlater than the end of February, 1948. \n[Authority:– Establishment Division‘s Office Memorandum No. 33/1/47-Ests-SE II, dated the 29th \nJanuary, 1948]. \n \n______________________________ \n\nCHAPTER 4 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAPPOINTMENTS \n (309-310) \n\nCHAPTER-4 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 311 \n \nCHAPTER 4 \nAPPOINTMENTS \n Sl. \nNo(s). \nChapter Contents \nPage \nNo(s). \n \n1.1 \nCivil Servants Act, 1973 (Act No. LXXI of 1973) ......................... 317-327 \n \n1.2 Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973327-336 \n \n1.3 \nAmendment in the Recruitment Rules of Civil Posts ...................... \n336 \n \n1.4 \nCivil Servants (Confirmation) Rules, 1993 ......................................... 336-339 \n \nI.

CURRENT/ADDITIONAL CHARGE AND ACTING CHARGE \nAPPOINTMENTS \n \n5.1 \nCurrent/Additional Charge and \nActing Charge Appointments \n \nAccording to the existing instructions all appointments by promotion in higher \nposts are to be made through regular selection process i.e. with the approval of the \nCentral Selection Board/ Departmental Promotion Committee and the authority \ncompetent to make appointment to the BPS in which the vacancy exists. However, in those \ncases where a vacancy in a higher post occurs for less than two months and it is considered \nimpossible for good reasons to make arrangements for day to day work of that post to be carried \non otherwise, the current charge of the duties of that post may be given temporarily, with the \napproval of the authority competent to make appointments to the said post, to the most senior \nofficer in the cadre present at the place or in the organization where the vacancy may have \noccurred if he is otherwise fit and eligible for promotion. \n \n2. \nSituations arise in various departments where higher posts have to be filled \nurgently for short periods independently of the normal promotion and appointment \nprocedure which takes time. The matter has been considered in consultation with the \nMinistry of Finance. In order to overcome the difficulty, the President has been pleased to \ndelegate the power to make current charge appointments as follows:- \n \n(i) \nSecretaries/Additional \n \n \nSecretaries............ \n \n(ii) \nHeads of Attached Department \n \n \nnot below BPS 21 including \n \n \nChairman, FPSC and Chairman \n \n \nFor BPS \n \n \nFederal Inspection Commission \n \n \n17 to 20 \n \n \nin respect of their own \n \n \nofficers................. \n \n(iii) Auditor General of Pakistan \n \n \nPakistan Audit Department.. \n \n \n \n \n \n(iv) Military Accountant \n \n \nGeneral for Military \n \n \n \nUpto BPS 20 \n \n \nAccounts Departments...... \n \n \n \n (v) Member Finance, Railway Board for \n \n \nRailway Audit Department................ \n \n(vi) Head of Department as defined in \n \n \nFor BPS \n \n \nS.R.2(10) not below BPS-20......... \n \n \n17 and 18 \n \n3. \nThe exercise of the powers as delegated shall be subject to the observance of \nthe following conditions:— \n \n or Selection Board for posts in BPS 19. \n\nPage - 374 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \n(i) the arrangement should not be made for a period of less than one month and \nshould not exceed three months; however, it may be extended by another \nthree months with the approval of the next higher authority; \n \n(ii) as soon as the current charge is given, a proposal for regular appointment \nshould be initiated and referred to DPC/CSB within a month; and \n \n(iii) in making current charge arrangement, the senior most officer available in \nthe organization and present at the place where the vacancy may have \noccurred, if he is otherwise fit and eligible for promotion, should be \nconsidered. \n \n4. \n An officer appointed to hold current charge of a higher post shall be \nallowed, in term of F.R. 35 and proviso to Section 17 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 pay in \nhis own grade plus additional pay equal to 20% of his grade pay ***(In case of \nAdditional Charge of Identical post 20% of the Basic Pay subject to maximum Rs.12,000/- \nand in case of Additional Charge of Non-Identical post 10% of the Basic Pay subject to \nmaximum Rs.12,000/- w.e.f 01-07-2016. \n \n5. \nThe existing orders on the subject are modified to the above extent. \n[Authority:– Estt.

The position has been reviewed and in order to afford sufficient compensation to a \nperson performing duties of higher post carrying higher responsibilities, it has been decided, \nwith the approval of the competent authority, that in case of current charge appointments to \nhigher posts, special pay shall be admissible at the rate of 20% of pay subject to a maximum \nof ***[Rs.12,000/- p.m. with effect from 1-7-2016]. \n \n2. \nHowever, it is emphasized that the current charge arrangements should be \nmade with the approval of the competent authority strictly in accordance with the orders \ncontained in the Establishment Division's O.M.No.1/21/76-A.R.I/R.II, dated 18-6-1980. \n [Authority:– Finance Division‘s O.M.

The word ―place‖ refers to the area in \nwhich the office in which the vacancy has arisen is located, e.g., Rawalpindi, Islamabad, \nKarachi etc. The word ―organization‖ refers to each distinctive administrative unit of \ndepartment. For instance in a Division which is divided into different Wings each as a \ndistinct entity, the organization will refer to each such Wing. \n [Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.

No. 1/21/76-AR.I/R.II, dated \nthe 18th June, 1980 as amended vide Establishment Division O.M. of 10th April, 1981 a \nquestion has been raised as to which authority is competent to extend current charge \nappointment beyond 6 months. \n \n2. \nThe delegation made vide the Establishment Division O.M. No. \n1/21/76- AR.I/R.II, dated the 18th June, 1980 as amended vide O.M. dated 10th April, \n1981 is in partial modification of the Establishment Division O.M. No. 7/22/70-AVII, \ndated 7th August, 1970. The cases of extension of current charge appointment beyond 6 \nmonths will, therefore, continue to be sanctioned by the Establishment Secretary in respect of \nposts in BPS 17 to 19 and by the President in respect of posts in BPS 20 and above. \n \n3. \nThe current charge arrangement is made as a temporary measure pending \nappointment of a person to the post on a regular basis. It is expected that the case for regular \nappointment will be simultaneously initiated and finalised within the period of 6 months \nwhich is considered sufficient for the purpose. Normally, therefore, there should be no \noccasion for extending current charge arrangement beyond 6 months. In those cases only \nwhere it is necessary to continue the current charge arrangement beyond this period cases, \nshould be referred to the Establishment Division. Such cases should indeed the rare. The \ncase should be referred in the form of a summary for the President in the case of posts in \nBPS 20 and above and for Establishment Secretary in the case of posts in BPS 17 to 19, \nstating what action was taken to fill the post on a regular basis, the reasons why it has not \nbeen possible to make a regular appointment within the prescribed period of 6 months and \nfull justification for further extension of temporary arrangement.

However, in those cases where a vacancy in higher posts \noccurs for less than two months and it is considered impossible for good reasons to make \narrangements for day to day work of that post to be carried on otherwise, the duties of \nthat post may be given temporarily with the approval of Authority competent to make \nappointments to the said posts, to the senior most officer in the cadre present at the place \nor in the organization where the vacancy may have occurred, if he is otherwise fit and \neligible for promotion. In order to overcome the difficulties, authorities competent to \napprove such arrangements from BS-17 to BS-20 have also been prescribed. The above \nreferred instructions also provide that the said arrangements should not be made for a \nperiod of less than one month and should not exceed three months. However, the \narrangements can be extended with the approval of the Appointing Authority for another \n\nPage - 378 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \nperiod of three months. Extension beyond six months requires prior consultation with the \nFinance Division before seeking orders of the competent authority prescribed in rule 6 of \nthe Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion & Transfer) Rules, 1973. \n2. \nIt has been observed that the said instructions are not being compiled \nwith in letter and spirit and the current charge arrangements are extended with a gap of \ncouple of days for one reason or the other which amounts to deviation from the above \nmentioned administrative instructions on the subject. \n3. \nThe Prime Minister has taken a serious notice of the above practice and \nhas been pleased to observe that current charge is a temporarily arrangement to run day \nto day work of Organizations. Extensions are frequently made without any cogent \nreasons and without making arrangements for regular appointment to the post. \n4. \nIn view of the above, all Federal Secretaries/Additional Secretaries \nIncharge of Ministries/Divisions are requested to ensure that the administrative instruct-\nions regarding current charge arrangements as mentioned above are being compiled with \nin its letter and spirit in the Ministries/Divisions/Departments and Organizations under \ntheir administrative control and current charge arrangements are made only for cogent \nand valid reasons while simultaneously making arrangements for regular appointment to \nthat post. \n[Authority.— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 8/9/2004-R-II dated 02-02-2017] \n \n5.10 \nCombination of Appointments \n \nReference paras of the instructions contained in Establishment Division \nO.M.No.1/21/75-AER.R.2 dated 19.8.1989 which provide that additional charge \narrangement in non-identical post in BPS 17 to 19 requires approval of the Establishment \nSecretary.

Regarding the decision making process, there may be certain issues \nwhich are of quasi-judicial nature and decision cannot be taken by an officer not \nformally designated to exercise those powers. Likewise, certain financial and \nadministrative powers can only be exercised by an officer to whom additional/current \ncharge of the post is entrusted in the prescribed manner. An officer looking after the \nwork cannot exercise such powers as he has not been delegated with such powers by the \ncompetent authority. As regards day to day decisions, these can be taken by an officer \nlooking after the work and can also be reviewed/revised by the head of the Organization \ndepending upon the merit of the case. \n4. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to disseminate the above position to all the \nDepartments/Offices under their administrative control. \n[Authority.— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 3/15/2016-R-II dated 09-04-2021] \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCHAPTER-04 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 383 \n \n \nV. ADHOC APPOINTMENTS \n \n6.1 \nAdvertisement for Ad-Hoc Appointments \n \nAttention is invited to Establishment Division's Notification No. 1498(I)/73, \ndated 20th October, 1973 regarding Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and \nTransfer) Rules, 1973. \n \n2. \nIn accordance with Part IV dealing with ad-hoc and temporary \nappointments, rule 19 lays down that the post shall be advertised and the same procedure \nas laid down for the initial appointment in Part III shall be followed for making ad-hoc \nappointments. \n \n3. \nA number of cases have come to notice where ad-hoc appointments have \nbeen made from amongst departmental candidates or from other applicants without an \nadvertisement having been made in the press. \n \n4. \nThis is irregular in future, no proposal for ad-hoc appointments will be \nentertained unless the post has been duly advertised. The summary of the case submitted \nto the Establishment Division should invariably state that the post has been advertised \nand the clipping of the advertisement should be enclosed with the summary. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 2/23/78-D.III, dated 17-4-1978]. \n6.2 \nAd-Hoc Appointees to be Clearly Told of the \nConditions of Their Appointments \n \nIt has been noticed that various Ministries/Divisions etc. while advertising \nposts, falling within the purview of the FPSC, for purposes of making ad-hoc \nappointments thereto, do not take into account the fact that the appointees on the basis of \nsuch advertisements, being replaceable by the FPSC nominees, should be clearly told of \nthis condition of their appointments. This omission on the part of various Ministries/ \nDivisions, etc. may give rise to complications later on. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, requested that, while advertising for ad-hoc appointments \nto such posts, the Ministries/Divisions etc. should categorically state that the candidates \nappointed on the basis of such advertisements will be replaceable by the FPSC \nnominees. The condition may also be communicated to the candidates in the letters/ \nnotifications of such appointments so that no appointee claims regular appointment \nsubsequently on the basis of advertisement or appointment letters/notifications. \n \n3. \nIt may also be ensured that requisition for such posts should invariably be \nsent to the Commission within two months of the filling up of such posts on ad-hoc basis. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.2/6/74-F.IV, dated 14-6-1974]. \n6.3 \nProposals for Continuance of \nAd-Hoc Appointments \n \nIt has been observed that placing of requisitions on the Federal Public Service \nCommission in respect of posts required to be filled through the Commission are delayed \nby the Ministries/Divisions without any justification and ad-hoc appointments made on \nsuch posts are continued for long periods. \n\nPage - 384 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \n2. \nIn this connection, attention is invited to Rule 18 of the Civil Servants \n(Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973, which requires that a requisition in \nthe prescribed form shall be forwarded to the Federal Public Service Commission \nimmediately when it is decided to fill the post in question or, if that is not practicable and \nthe post is filled on ad-hoc basis, within two months of the filling of the post. \n \n3. \nIt is, therefore, reiterated that while making ad-hoc appointments against \nposts falling within the purview of the Federal Public Service Commission, a requisition \nshould be placed on the Commission immediately and in any case not later than two \nmonths from the date of filling the post on ad-hoc basis. All proposals relating to ad-hoc \nappointments and their further continuance should, in future be accompanied by a copy \nof the requisition sent to the Commission as far as possible, otherwise the Establishment \nDivision may not consider such proposals. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.2/9/76-D-III, dated 4-6-1976]. \n \n \n6.4 \nAd-Hoc Appointments and \nApproval for Extension \n \nReference Establishment Division's Office Memo No. 2/9/76-D.III, dated 14th \nMarch, 1981. It is stated that the instructions contained therein for making appointment \nto posts on ad-hoc basis and seeking extensions thereto are not being complied with \nfaithfully. These instructions clearly provide for making ad-hoc appointment for a period \nnot exceeding six months with the approval of competent authority as laid down under \nrule 6 of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973, as \namended. The first extension beyond the initial period of ad-hoc appointment is required \nto be given after obtaining approval of the FPSC. As such, the approval of the competent \nauthority for this extension is not required. Subsequent extensions for periods not \nexceeding six months in the ad-hoc appointment shall not require concurrence of the \nFPSC but approval of competent authority shall, in any case, be obtained. All the \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all the \ndepartments/ organizations under their administrative control for compliance. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No. 10/8/86-R.2, dated 15-12-1986]. \n \n 6.5 Submission of Summaries Regarding \nAd-Hoc Appointments \n \nIn the appendix to the Establishment Division d.o. letter No. 4/20/74-A.IV, \ndated the 29th June 1976 detailed procedure governing the submission of cases of ad-hoc \nappointments has been outlined. It has, however, been noticed that proposals for ad-hoc \nappointments, which have considerably increased of late, are not submitted in \naccordance with the instructions laid down therein. Ad-hoc appointments are to be made \nonly in cases of extreme urgency. But non-adherence to the prescribed procedure leads to \ndelay in their finalization. It is, therefore, reiterated that– \n(i) \nthe device of ad-hoc appointment should be resorted to only in cases of \ngenuine urgency; \n(ii) \nthe post should be widely advertised/circulated; \n(iii) regional/provincial quotas should be strictly observed; and \n\nCHAPTER-04 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 385 \n \n \n(iv) particulars of all the applicants should be sent alongwith detailed reasons \nwhy the person recommended has been selected. \n \n2. \nCases where the above procedure has not been followed will have to be \nreturned to the Ministries un-disposed of. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s d.o. letter No.4/20/74-A.IV, dated 9-4-1977]. \n6.6 \nSeniority of Ad-Hoc Appointees for Purposes of Reversion or \nTermination of Services on Availability of Regular Appointees \n \nNo rules or instructions regarding determination of the seniority of ad-hoc \nappointees have so far been issued. This is due to the fact that ad-hoc service does not \nreckon for purposes of seniority when the ad-hoc appointment is later on converted to \nregular appointment. Instructions have also been issued in Establishment Division's O.M. \nNo. 3/29/70-D- III, dated the 7th January, 1971 that ad-hoc appointees should not be \npromoted to a higher grade. The question of determination of the seniority of the ad-\nhoc appointees for purposes of promotion, therefore, does not arise. However, \nsometimes the question which does arise is as to which one of the several ad-hoc \nappointees should be reverted when the F.P.S.C. qualified candidates become available. \nIt has been decided that reversion should be made in the reverse order of ad-hoc \nappointment. However, when the date of ad-hoc appointment of more than one officer is \none and the same, the reversion should be made in the reverse order of the seniority in \nthe lower grade if available, otherwise the younger in age should revert first. Reversion \nfor the purposes of this O.M. includes termination of service where the ad-hoc appointee \nwas recruited directly from outside. \n[Authority.- Estt.

However, where reversion \nwas made as a result of some disciplinary action, fresh approval of the **[President/Prime \nMinister] would be necessary, if the officer is subsequently re-promoted to a post in *Grade \n17 or above. \n \n3. \nWhen an officer is appointed to hold current charge of a post in *Grade 17 or \nabove with the approval of the President/ Prime Minister, similar approval of the \n**[President/Prime Minister] is required when the same officer is appointed to hold full \ncharge of the post. \n[Authority:– Estt.

In practice, however, \nMinisters tend to make these appointments without consulting the Establishment Division. \nThe President has, therefore, been pleased to observe that it is very necessary to follow the \nprocedure laid down in this respect. \n \n3. \nIt has been decided that henceforth all notifications relating to appointments \nof Secretaries/Acting Secretaries shall be issued by the Establishment Division instead of the \nMinistries, as has been the practice so far. This course is necessary to avoid notifications \nbeing found legally or otherwise defective, as has been found to be the case in some \ninstances. In order to enable this Division to issue the necessary notification, Ministries will \nsend the file to the Establishment Division after Prime Minister's orders have been obtained \nregarding such appointments. \n[Authority:– Estt.

The \nrecommendation of the High Power Selection Board/Central Selection Board in respect of \nthese officers have to be obtained by the Establishment Division. Thereafter, action is \nrequired to be taken in the following sequence:- \n \n(i) \nApproval of the President to the recommendation of the appropriate \nSelection Board. \n \n(ii) \n(a) \nDecision in the Establishment Division in consultation with \nMinistries/Divisions to post an approved officer to a particular post, \nand \n \n Now Prime Minister. \n The word ‘Section Officer’ omitted. \n Note:- The Prime Minister is now the appointing authority for posts in BPS 20 and above vide rule 6 of the \nCivil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973. \n\nPage - 388 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \n \n(b) \nSubmission of a summary to the President for his specific approval \n \nto such appointment. \n \n(iii) Issue of notification by the Establishment Division making the actual \nappointment. \n \n(iv) Issue of notification by the Ministries/Divisions concerned regarding \nassumption of charge of the particular post by the selected officer. \n \n3. \nAction with regard to (i) and (iii) above is required to be taken by the \nEstablishment Division alone. Approval of the President to the appointment of a particular \nofficer to a particular post is at present taken by the administrative Division in which the \nvacancy exists. This has led to some unforeseen and unhappy consequences, e.g., \nunwillingness of the administrative Divisions to accept particular officers and allowing the \nofficers to assume charge of their duties before a formal notification has been issued by the \nEstablishment Division. In order to avoid such difficulties, it has now been decided that \napproval of the *President to all Secretariat appointments would be taken by the \nEstablishment Division, in consultation with the Ministries/Divisions. \n \n4. \nThe next step would be to issue a further notification regarding assumption \nof charge of the particular post by the selected officer. This notification is to be issued by the \nMinistries/ Divisions concerned. It is, however, emphasised that assumption of charge by \nthe selected officer cannot be from a date prior to but subsequent to the date of notification \nregarding his appointment by the Establishment Division. In no case can the selected officer \nassume charge from a date earlier than the date of notification issued by the Establishment \nDivision. \n[Authority:– Estt.

No. 22/25/68-AI, dated the 23rd January, 1969 \n, it was emphasized that the charge of a particular post could be assumed by a government \nservant, duly approved by the competent authority only from a date subsequent to the date on \nwhich the notification of his appointment was issued by the Establishment Division, and that \nin no case the government servant could assume charge from a date earlier than the date of \nnotification issued by the Establishment Division, unless specifically stated. \n \n2. \nIt has been noticed that the instructions referred to above have not been \nobserved in a number of cases by the Ministries/ Divisions and, in some cases government \nservants were allowed to assume charge of the posts to which they were appointed by the \nEstablishment Division, with effect from dates earlier than the dates of the notifications of \ntheir appointments issued by the Establishment Division. In view of this, it is considered \nnecessary to reiterate the position stated in para 1 above. The fact that vacancies were \navailable in certain cases from back dates, is not relevant, and no government servant can be \nallowed to assume charge of a higher post retrospectively only for that reason. Further, in \norder to regularise the position, it is requested that all such cases should be reviewed and \nrelevant notifications, if any, which may have been issued by the Ministries/Divisions in \ncontravention of the instructions referred to above, should be cancelled immediately, and \nrevised notifications issued, under intimation to the Establishment Division. \n[Authority:– Estt.

Accordingly, a set of guidelines, in the succeeding paragraphs, is circulated for \nstrict compliance, to ensure that the best persons are transparently and competitively \nappointed in a cost-effective manner, only when a consciously and formally identified need \nfor consultants exists. \n \nDetermination of Need for Consultants: \n \n2. \nNeed identification is a pre-requisite for any organization planning to \nobtain services of consultants, who are normally required to tender advice, being \nexperts/specialists, on specific (generally technical) issues/projects to: \n(a) \nAddress on uncommon problems; \n(b) \nProvide technical supervisions; or \n(c) \nIntroduce innovative practices/solutions \n \nConsultancies would generally fall into two broad categories: \n(i) Project Consultancy– to provide technical support/ supervision by filling \nvacuum of technical expertise, specific to the project and funded out of \n\nPage - 406 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \ndevelopment funds; and \n(ii) General/Management Consultancy– to provide expert advice, unavailable \nin-house, to introduce innovative solutions to financial/human resources \nmanagement/ technical issues or to act as agents of change for status-quo \noriented permanent employees and commonly paid for out of non-\ndevelopment budget. \n \nA consultancy would, therefore, always be assignment specific and time bound \nand should be preferred only when it is considered value effective to hire services of a \nconsultant compared to developing in-house expertise. \n \n3. \nAs a first step, the client organization is required to ascertain as to whether \nor not the required expertise is available within the organization/ government. In case the \nexpertise is available in-house, reasons for not undertaking the assignment internally may \nbe spelled out and detailed justification, including the following, may be given for hiring \nthe consultant: – \n(i) \nTerms of reference/specific tasks to be accomplished by the consultant. \n(ii) \nDetails of the outputs required of the consultant. \n(iii) Anticipated benefits from the proposed assignment. \n(iv) Professional expertise and experience required for the task to be \nundertaken. \n(v) \nApproximate time required for completion of the job. \n(vi) Cost estimates. \n \nThe above information shall be placed for concept clearance before: \n(a) \nA committee headed by the Secretary of the Ministry/ Division \nconcerned and including representative of Finance Division, \nEstablishment Division and the Planning & Development Division \nfor non-development budget-funded consultancy; or \n(b) \nThe appropriate approval forum for development budget related \nconsultancies. \n \nProcedure for Hiring Consultants: \n \n4. \nAfter concept clearance has been received, the following procedure will be \npursued by the client Ministry/Division/Department/ Organization: \n(i) \nConsultancy should be widely advertised indicating the requirements \nmentioned at para-3 above. \n(ii) \nAdvertisement of consultancy will indicate the range of compensation \npackage, including various facilities, depending on the nature of work \ninvolved. The applicants will be short-listed and prioritized by an in-house \nCommittee of the client organization. \n(iii) For general/non-development budget funded consultancies, a Selection Board, \nheaded by the Secretary of the Ministry/Division concerned and including a \nrepresentative each of Establishment Division and Finance Division, will \nrecommend a panel of at least three candidates in order of merit for \n\nCHAPTER-04 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 407 \n \n \nconsideration of the appointing authority. The Selection Board should also \nrecommend the compensation package for the consultants placed on the panel. \n(iv) For development budget/project related consultancies a competent \nSelection Board of the client organization, including a representative of the \nPlanning & Development Division, shall recommend a panel of at least \nthree names to the appropriate approval forum. \n(v) \nFinancial sanction for the appointment of a consultant on the terms and \nconditions recommended by the Selection Board should be obtained from the \ncompetent authority. \n \nFinal Approval: \n \n5. \nFinal approval will be accorded as follows: \n(i) \nDevelopment project-related consultancies will be approved by the \ncompetent approval forum and additional conditionalities of donors will \nbe observed in grant funded consultancies. \n(ii) \nGeneral/non-development budget funded consultancies will be approved \nby the Chief Executive, on proposals routed through the Establishment \nDivision. \n \nContracting Procedure: \n \n6. \nWhile making an offer of appointment, the following will be provided in \nthe contract/agreement:– \n(i) \nStatement of objectives of the assignment. \n(ii) \nResponsibilities of the consultant stating particulars of the outputs \nrequired of him. \n(iii) Responsibilities of the client indicating types of inputs to be provided to \nthe consultant. \n(iv) Duration of the contract indicating completion dates/ termination of \ncontract. \n(v) \nFinancial provisions reflecting manner of payment of remuneration etc. \n(vi) General provisions regarding matters like earlier termination of contract. \n(vii) Mode of periodic performance appraisal of the consultant. \n \nOthers: \n \n7. \nFollowing further guidelines will also be kept in view while appointing \nconsultants:– \n(i) \nNo person retired from a government organization will be hired as a \nconsultant only to re-employ him/her. \n(ii) \nConsultants should not be appointed to perform routine functions of an \norganization. \n\nPage - 408 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \n(iii) Special attention should be given by the Divisions/ Organizations to train \nand develop their own personnel to take up higher responsibilities. \n(iv) An objective evaluation and assessment of a consultant‘s performance \nshould invariably be undertaken on a periodic basis in a manner especially \ndesigned for the job. \n \n8. \nIn addition to the above, following further guidelines will also be strictly \ncomplied with:– \n(i) \nEngagement of retired officers as Consultants/Advisers etc. shall require \nprior permission of the government, invariably i.e. \n(ii) \nEstablishment Division in case of retired civilian officers; \n(iii) Defence Division in case of retired defence officers; and \n(iv) Law, Justice and Human Rights Division/Supreme Court/ High Courts in \ncase of retired judiciary officers. \n(v) \nThe \nPrime \nMinister‘s \nInspection \nCommission \nshall \nconduct \nregular/periodical checks in order to monitor compliance of the guidelines; \n(vi) Any deviation/departure of the prescribed guidelines shall be dealt with \nseriously and the defaulting officer(s) shall be proceeded against, under \nE&D laws/rules. \n(vii) A uniform proforma be devised containing all essential particulars/details \nregarding appointment of a Consultant etc. for evaluation/rational decision \nmaking by the Selection Committee/ Board concerned and approving \nauthority. \n \n9. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to kindly comply with the above \nguidelines and also accordingly inform their related departments/ organizations for \ncompliance. \n \n10. \nThis issues with the convenience of the approval of the competent \nauthority by the Prime Minister Secretariat. \n[Authority:– Establishment Division, M.S.

It is clarified that upgradation \nof a post implies the abolition of the existing post and creation of a new post in the higher \ngrade. Upgradation of a post does not mean automatic upgradation of its incumbent. \nAppointment to the upgraded post will have to be made in the manner prescribed for that \npost. If a post is upgraded with immediate effect, the incumbent would be left without any \npost (in his grade) until he is approved for appointment to higher grade. \n \n2. \nIn view of the position explained above, all Ministries/Divisions are \nrequested that while sanctioning upgradation of the existing posts, it should be clearly \nprovided in the sanction letter that upgradation of the post would take effect from the date the \npost is filled by a person in the higher grade. This would ensure that until the existing \nincumbent is formally appointed to higher grade, the post and the incumbent would continue \nin lower grade. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.8/10/83-R.I, dated 6-3-1983]. \n \n12.2 Upgradation of Posts \n \nIn continuation of Establishment Division‘s O.M. No. 8/130/91-R.I, dated 3rd \nDecember, 1991, it is stated that the President under sub-para ‗F‘ of para 3 of the \nPresidential directive No. 57/1/CMLA, dated 2nd August 1979 had, inter-alia, frozen \nupgradation of posts till further orders. Prior to this, the upgradation of posts used to be \nmade with the approval of the Finance Division and Establishment Division. However, \nafter the directive, all the cases of upgradation of posts are submitted to the Prime \nMinister for approval, in relaxation of the above Presidential directive with the \nconcurrence of Finance Division and Establishment Division. \n \n2. \nIt has come to the notice of the government that Ministries/ Divisions/ \nDepartments etc. are upgrading the posts without the approval of the competent authority \ni.e. the Prime Minister and concurrence of the Finance Division (Regulations Wing) and \nEstablishment Division. Similarly, the appointments against the upgraded posts are being \nmade by the Ministries/Divisions/Departments etc. without going through the prescribed \nselection process or approval of the competent authority. It may be pointed out that the \nupgradation of posts does not mean automatic upgradation of the incumbents. The \nappointment against the upgraded post will have to be made in the manner prescribed in \nthe recruitment rules for that post and with the approval of the competent authority. \nTherefore, upgradations of posts made by the Ministries/ Divisions/Departments etc. and \nappointment of their incumbents against such posts without going through the prescribed \nselection process or approval of the competent authority are irregular. \n \n3. \nIn view of the above, Ministries/Divisions are requested not to make any \nupgradation without the concurrence of Finance Division (Regulations Wing) and \nEstablishment Division and the approval of the Prime Minister. The upgradation of posts, \nmade by the Ministries/ Divisions without this process, may be submitted for \nregularization etc. in the prescribed procedure and for approval of the competent \n\nPage - 412 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-04 \n \n \nauthority. The above position may also be brought to the notice of all Departments/ \nAutonomous/Semi-Autonomous Bodies/Corporations etc. under the administrative \ncontrol of the Ministries/Divisions. \n[Authority:– Estt.

However, the decision about the proposed up-gradation/re-\ndesignation of posts in BPS 1 to 19 will be taken at the level of Secretary, \nFinance Division and the Secretary Establishment Division. \n(ii) \nCases of up-gradation/re-designation of posts in BPS 20 and above will be \nsubmitted to the *Chief Executive for approval but after seeking the \nconcurrence of Finance Division and the Establishment Division. \n \n4. \n** [When the competent authority approves the up-gradation of a post in the \nsituations mentioned in sub-paras (a), (b) and (c) of para 2, appointment to the up-graded \npost should be made in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Servants (Appointment, \nPromotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973, and the specific rules which regulate appointment to the \npost.] \n \n* Now Prime Minister. \n** Subs. and deleted vide Estt.

No.F.1(19)R.3/83, dated 11-7-1984]. \n \nReference para 25, of the Scheme of Basic Pay Scale contained in Finance Division \nO.M. No.1(1)Imp/83, dated 18.8.1983, according to which the encashment of L.P.R., which \nwas previously admissible to civil servants only if L.P.R. was refused in public interest, \nwould now be admissible to the employees concerned at their own option. In this connection, \nvarious points have been raised for clarification. It has, therefore, been decided to clarify the \npoints of doubt as in the following paragraphs. \n \n2. \nUnder the earlier orders, the concession of encashment of L.P.R. on \nretirement on superannuation or on completion of 30 years qualifying service was admissible \nupto the maximum of leave pay for *365 days under rule 17(i) of the Revised Leave Rules, \n1980. The words \"leave salary\" and *\"one year\" used in para 25 of the Scheme of Basic Pay \nScales contained in Finance Division's O.M. No.F.1(1)-Imp/83, dated 18.8.1983, shall, \ntherefore, mean \"leave pay\" and *\"three hundred and sixty five days\" respectively, as in para \n17 of Revised Leave Rules 1980. \n \n3. \nA civil servant, who wishes to forego his L.P.R. in favour of cash \ncompensation, shall exercise his option to this effect in writing 15 months prior to the date of \nretirement, and submit it to the authority competent to sanction for the payment of cash \ncompensation. \n \n4. \nAfter having exercised the option for encashment of L.P.R., the government \nservant shall have to perform duty during the entire period upto the date of retirement and \ncannot, save as stated in para 5 below, avail himself of any kind of leave, during the last 15 \nmonths of his service if the leave, at his credit was 365 days or less, and during the last 12 \nmonths of his service if the leave at his credit was more than 365 days. Provided that in the \nlater case, leave can be taken prior to the period of the last 12 months only to the extent that \nthe balance leave at credit does not fall below 365 days. \n \n5. \nThe competent authority may, where it is satisfied that the leave applied for is \nunavoidable or is fully justified, e.g, in cases of illness, supported by medical certificate, or \nfor performance of ‗Hajj‘ etc., grant leave to an employee during the last 15 or 12 months of \nhis service, as the case may be, in accordance with para 4 above. In such a case, the amount \nof cash compensation shall be reduced by an amount equal to the leave pay for half of the \nperiod of leave taken. For example, if an employee, who has opted for encashment of L.P.R., \nhas taken 60 days of leave, his cash compensation equal to 30 days leave pay would be \nforfeited. \n \n6. \nIt is requested that the cases of encashment of L.P.R. may be regulated \naccording to the clarifications contained in this Office Memorandum. \n \n3.4 \nEncashment of LPR on Premature Retirement \n \nThe matter of allowing of encashment of L.P.R on premature retirement, on \ncompletion of 31 years qualifying service, has been under consideration of the Finance \nDivision.

The \nOM dated 02-06-1991, stipulates that encashment of LPR is admissible on completion of 31 \nyears service. On the other hand, under rule 18-A(1), encashment of LPR is admissible on \nsuperannuation or thirty years qualifying service. Therefore, with the cancellation of this \nDivision OM No. F.1(8)-R.4/90, dated 02-06-1991, the cases regarding encashment of LPR \nmay be decided under rule 18-A (1) of Revised Leave Rules, 1980. \n[Authority.— Finance Division (Regulations Wing) OM No. F.1(2) R-4/2001, dated 27-03-2002]. \n \n3.7 \nEncashment of LPR/Amendment in the \nRevised Leave Rules 1980 in Respect of \n Leave Encashment/Grant of Encashment \nof LPR for 365 Days Instead of 180 Days \nSub rule (2A) inserted in Rule 18-A of the Revised Leave Rules, 1980 vide \nFinance Division SRO 70 (KE)/2012 dated 29-08-2012 clearly says that encashment of \nLeave Preparatory to Retirement (LPR) not exceeding three hundred and sixty five days \nshall be effective from the first day of July 2012,and shall, for the entire period of leave \nrefused or opted for encashment, be applicable to a Civil servant retired or, as the case \nmay be, retiring on or after the first day of July,2012, provided such leave is available at \nhis credit subject to a maximum of three hundred and sixty five days.

Annual \nincrements also are inadmissible under FR-26. \n(ii) \nThe period of the EOL is not counted towards pension under CSR 361. \n(iii) The EOL can cover a period of unauthorized absence; either under an \nadministrative order vide rule 9(3) of Revised Leave Rules 1980 or on a \ncourt‘s directions. \n(iv) The period of EOL is not considered as period spent on duty under FR-9 \n(6). \n \n2. \nDue to the special characteristics of EOL stated above, no rule has been \nframed for its conversion into another kind of leave retrospectively because it not only \ninvolves payment of salary for the previous EOL period but would also involve change in \nthe directions/orders of the authority. Moreover, a Government Servant under rule 24 of \nRevised Leave Rules 1980, has been given the option to apply for any kind of leave. The \nleave sanctioning authority has no power to change the nature of leave. This option, once \nexercised by the government servant, is considered final. Sometimes, cases for \nretrospective conversion of EOL into another kind of leave are moved on the basis of \nCSR 232 (3) despite the fact that this rule does not specifically deal with EOL. Similarly, \nGovernment decision (3) under FR-87 cannot be used for conversion of EOL into another \nkind of leave because the said rule governs the leave salary. In the light of foregoing, it \nhas been decided that EOL cannot be converted into any other kind of leave, \nretrospectively. \n[Authority:- Finance Division (Regulation Wing)‘s O.M.

The \nposition in regard to the utilization of the leave reserve and of filling up of the leave vacancies \nin the *grades in which leave reserve has been provided, is as follows:- \n(i) \nNo leave vacancy in the *grades in which leave reserve has been provided, \nshould normally be filled. \n(ii) \nIn case there is a deficiency in the *grades in which leave reserve has been \nprovided, or where the number of persons on leave is in excess of the \nnumber of persons actually available in the leave reserve and it is difficult for \nthe Ministry concerned to discharge its responsibilities efficiently without \nadditional staff, officiating arrangements may be made as a special case, after \nconsulting the Financial Adviser in the case of non-gazetted staff and the \nMinistry of Finance in the case of Gazetted officers. \n(iii) All officers and staff employed in the *grades in which leave reserve has \nbeen provided should be asked, towards the end of each calendar year to \nindicate the approximate date on which and the period for which they wish \nto proceed on leave during the next year. On the basis of the information \nso collected, a leave programme for the year should be prepared in such a \nway that, at any given time, the number of persons on leave does not, as far \nas possible, exceed the leave reserve in the *grade concerned. The officer \nand staff available against the leave reserve would thus be available to \nattend to the work of those granted leave. If there are occasional gaps when \nthe number of officers/staff wishing to proceed on leave is less than the \nleave reserve, the services of the officers/staff available as leave reserve may \nbe utilized for special items of work which the Ministry may be called upon \nto undertake, the clearance of arrears in overworked Sections or re-arranging \nand weeding the records of the Ministry. \n \n BPS/Post(s). \n\nPage - 494 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-5 \n \n(iv) Leave reserve should be treated as an integral part of the *grades \nconcerned and the persons who are appointed against that reserve should \nnot be labelled as such. The work in a Ministry or Division should, \nhowever, be divided in such a way as to facilitate the proper utilization of \nleave reserve on the lines suggested above. \n \n(2) This issues with the concurrence of the Ministry of Finance. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.3/1/60-SR, dated 1-2-1961]. \n \n10.2 \nLeave Reserve Section \n \nThe review of the staff position carried out by the Management Services Wing has \nrevealed that practically all Ministries/Divisions have converted Leave Reserve Section \nOfficers into regular Sections by assigning to them specific items of work which are of \nregular nature. It defeats the very objective for which Leave Reserve has been created. \n \n2. \n In order to ensure the proper utilization of the Section Officers and their \nancillary staff in the Leave Reserve, it has been decided that following arrangements \nshould be made in various Ministries/Divisions:- \n \n(i) \nExperienced Section Officers along with their ancillary staff who could \ndispose of all types of cases, should be selected to work as Leave Reserve \nOfficers, and no regular work should be assigned to them ; \n \n(ii) \nThe Leave Reserve Section Officer(s) at Rawalpindi /Islamabad or Karachi \nshould be attached directly with the Secretary or other senior officer(s) at the \nstation; and \n \n(iii) When not employed in leave vacancies, the Section Officers should, along \nwith their ancillary staff, attend to the difficult cases of other Sections which \nmay be assigned to them by the Secretary or the senior officer(s) with whom \nthey have been attached. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.3/1/60-C-III, dated 4-10-1961]. \n \n10.3 \nUtilization of Leave Reserve Section \n \nIt is obligatory on the Ministries/Divisions to observe the instructions contained in \nthe Establishment Division Office Memoranda No. 3/1/60-SR, dated the 1st February, 1961, \nand No. 3/1/60-C.II, dated the 4th Oct., 1961 regarding the utilization of Leave Reserve \nSection Officers. In this connection, it may be mentioned that in their meeting held on the \n14th November, 1961, the ‗Standing Committee for Consideration of Ideas for Improvement \nin Administration‘ observed that the Leave Reserve Officers were primarily to be used for \nthe purpose for which they were meant and should not be absorbed in the normal \norganisation of the Ministries and that when not employed against leave vacancies they \nshould be used as a striking force to deal with arrears in any section or sudden pressure of \nwork. In view of this, the Ministry of Commerce, etc. are requested to re-organize their \nSections in such a way as not to entrust the Leave Reserve Section Officers with regular \nSections. However, if they require any additional post of Section Officer they should take up \nthe matter in the normal way. Attention in this connection is also invited to the Establishment \nDivision's Office Memorandum No. 5/34/59-SR, dated the 13th February, 1961 (Annex) \n\n CHAPTER-5 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 495 \n \n \nregarding procedure for creation/abolition of posts of Section Officers. \n[Authority.— Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.3/1/60-C-III, dated 5-2-1962]. \n(ANNEX) \n[Copy of Establishment Division O.M No. 5/34/59-SR dated 13th February, 1961]. \n \nProcedure for creation/abolition of posts of Section Officers: For some time past, \nthe Establishment Division have been considering the question of issuing sanction letters \nregarding the creation of posts of Section Officers. It has now been decided in consultation \nwith the Ministry of Finance that such sanction letters should be issued by the administrative \nMinistries concerned in the usual manner. \n \n2. \nIt has further been decided that prior concurrence of the Establishment \nDivision should invariably be obtained before any additional post is created or any existing \npost is abolished in the cadre of the Section Officer. \n10.4 \nFilling-up of Vacancies on Proceeding \nof Section Officers on LPR \n \nIt has since been decided in consultation with the Ministry of Finance that leave \nvacancies caused due to Section Officers proceeding on leave preparatory to retirement, may \nbe filled in accordance with the rules. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 3/1/60-C.III, dated 6-4-1962]. \n \n10.5 \nLeave and Training Reserve \n \nA Leave Reserve equal to ten percent of the duty posts in the Section Officers \nGrade has been provided to each Ministry/ Division. Instructions regarding the utilization of \nthe services of Section Officers in this Reserve are contained in the Establishment Division \nOffice Memoranda No. 3/1/60-SR, dated the 1st February, 1961 and No. 3/1/60-C.III, dated \nthe 4th, October 1961 and 5th February, 1962. These instructions, inter alia, provide that \nLeave Reserve Section Officers should not be absorbed in the regular sections of the \nMinistries. However, it has been observed that with the passage of time these instructions \nhave been lost sight of by almost all the Divisions who have converted the Leave Reserve \ninto regular Sections. The result is that when any Section Officer proceeds on leave, no \nLeave Reserve Section Officer becomes available to attend to his work. This has defeated the \nvery purpose for which the Leave Reserve was created, i.e., to have a pool of Officers whose \nservices could immediately become available without any dislocation when any Section \nOfficer proceeded on leave. \n \n2. \nIn addition to the Leave Reserve, each Division has been provided with a \nTraining Reserve, equal to ten percent of the duty posts in the Section Officers‘ Grade. This \nreserve is mainly intended to accommodate the Section Officers (Probationers) after the \ncompletion of their training at the Secretariat Training Institute and till their absorption \nagainst regular vacancies on the successful completion of their probationary period. The \nofficers in this Reserve are also required to attend to the work of those Section Officers who \nproceed on training (e.g. to the S.T.I., the NIM and training courses abroad etc.). \n\nPage - 496 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-5 \n \nEstablishment Division's Office Memorandum No. 2/2/62-CIII, dated the 30th November, \n1962 refers in this connection. It is observed that like the Leave Reserve, the Training \nReserve has also been absorbed in the regular set-up of the Divisions. Therefore, this also has \nmilitated against the very concept of having a Training Reserve with the result that \nMinistries/Divisions are usually unable to make available their officers for training when \nrequired to do so on the plea that arrangements against the resultant vacancies cannot be \nmade. This obviously retards the process of training of Section Officers which is so \nnecessary for improving efficiency in the Secretariat. \n \n3. \nIn order to ensure proper utilization of the Leave and Training Reserves, all \nthe Ministries are requested to review the position and limit the number of their regular \nSections to the number of duty posts in the Section Officers Grade sanctioned for them. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Such cases will continue to be dealt with on their merits under the \nprovisions of Rules 50 and 51 of the Fundamental Rules. \n \n3. \nThe rules shall apply to the Department of Archaeology, Public Health and \nMedical Department, Botanical Survey, Civil Veterinary Department, Factory Departments, \nGeological Survey of Pakistan, Agricultural Department, Meteorological Department, \nRailways Division (Traffic, Locomotive & Engineering Branches), Education Department, \nPakistan Public Works Department, Pakistan Forest Institute and National Council for \nConservation of Wild Life (except in respect of continental tours, to which special rules apply). \n \n4. \nThe rules may be extended by the authorities empowered to sanction study \nleave to any Government Servant, including a Government Servant of a Provincial Service, \nnot belonging to any of the departments mentioned above, in whose case if the sanctioning \nauthority is of the opinion that leave should be granted in the public interest to pursue a \nspecial course of study or investigation of a scientific or technical nature. \n \n5. \nThe powers granted by these Rules to the Government of Pakistan or to local \nGovernments may be delegated by them to the Ambassador for Pakistan subject to any \ncondition they may think fit to impose. \n \n6. \nExtra leave on half pay for the purpose of study leave may be taken either in \nor outside Pakistan. It may be granted to a Government servant of any of the Departments \nnamed above by the Local Government under whom he is serving provided that when a \nGovernment Servant borne permanently on the cadre of one Province or department is \nserving temporarily in another Province or department the grant of leave is subject to the \nconditions:— \n \n(a) \nthat the sanctioning authority can take local arrangements to carry on his \nwork in his absence; and \n \n(b) \nthat the sanction of the Province or department to which he is permanently \nattached is obtained before leave is given. \n \n7. \nStudy leave should not ordinarily be granted to Government servants of less \nthan five years' service or to Government servants within three years of the date at which \n \n* See FR 84 at pages 127-128, Compilation of FRs and SRs Vol. I, First Edition (Second Reprint), 1978.

Nor should it be \ngranted to Government Servants who are about to retire on proportionate pension. \n \n8. \nMinistries and Divisions of the Government of Pakistan may grant study \nleave to Government Servants under their administrative control, subject to the restrictions \nwhich apply to the powers of a Local Government. \n \n9. \nThe study leave should be granted with due regard to the exigencies of the \npublic service. In no case should the grant of this leave, in combination with leave other than \nextraordinary leave or leave on medical certificate, involve absence of a Government servant \nfor more than forty-eight months from regular duties nor should it be granted with such \nfrequency as to remove him from contact with his regular work or to cause cadre difficulties \nowing to his absence on leave. The study leave if taken on different occasions, shall not \nexceed forty-eight months in entire service of a Government servant. \n \n10. A Government servant whose study leave in combined with any other kind of \nleave should be required to take his period of study leave at such a time as to retain, at its \nconclusion, a balance of other previously sanctioned leave sufficient to cover the period \nspent in returning to duty. \n \n11. When a Government servant has been granted a definite period of study leave \nand finds subsequently that his course of study will fall short of the sanctioned period to any \nconsiderable extent, his absence from duty should be reduced by the excess period of study \nleave unless he produces the assent of the sanctioning authority in Pakistan to his taking it as \nordinary leave. \n \n12. Except as provided in Rule 13, all applications for study leave should be \nsubmitted with the Audit Officer's certificate to the Head of the Department through the \nprescribed channel and the course or courses of study contemplated and any examination which \nthe candidate proposes to undergo should be clearly specified therein. If the course of study is \nabroad the Head of the Department should also forward to the Ambassador for Pakistan a copy \nof the approved programme of study. If it is not possible for the Government servant to give \nfull details, as above, in his original application, or if, at leaving Pakistan he wishes to make any \nchanges in the programme which has been approved in Pakistan, he should submit particulars \nas soon as possible to the Ambassador for Pakistan. In such cases he should not unless prepared \nto do so at his own risk, commence the course of study, nor incur any expenses in connection \ntherewith, until he receives approval to the course through the Ambassador. \n \n13. (1) Government servants on leave ex-Pakistan who wish to convert part of \nthe leave into study leave or to undertake a course of study during leave, should before \ncommencing study and before incurring any expenses in connection therewith, submit a \nprogramme of their proposed course of study to the Ambassador for Pakistan. The \nprogramme should be accompanied by an official syllabus of the course, if one is available, \nand by any documentary evidence that the particular course, or examination, has the \napproval of the authorities in Pakistan. In the absence of such evidence the programme may, \nif approved by the Ambassador, be proceeded with, but no study leave allowance will be \nadmissible until the concurrence of the authority concerned in Pakistan is received. \n \n Amended vide Finance Division (Regulation Wing) Notification No. F.1(2)R.4/2003 dated 5-6-2004. \n\n CHAPTER-5 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 499 \n \n \n \n(2) Government servants on leave ex-Pakistan who desire to have it extended for \npurposes of study under these Rules, should address the Ambassador for Pakistan but in \naddition to furnishing a statement of proposed study they must support their application with \ndocumentary evidence of their having obtained the approval of the authorities concerned in \nPakistan to their applying for an extension of leave. They must also produce documentary \nevidence of the concurrence of the authority concerned in Pakistan to the grant of study leave \nor study allowance or both. \n \n14. No course of study will be recognized as qualifying for the grant of study \nallowance, or for study leave for any other purpose, unless it has been approved in at least \nbroad outline by the sanctioning authority in Pakistan in accordance with Rules 12 and 13 \nabove, and unless, in cases where it has not been found possible to submit full particulars to \nthe authorities in Pakistan, it has been approved in detail by the Ambassador before it is begun. \n \n15. A study allowance will be granted for the period spent in prosecuting a \ndefinite course of study at a recognized Institution or in any definite tour of inspection of any \nspecial class of work, as well as for the period covered by any examination at the end of the \ncourse of study. In no case will subsistence allowance be granted in addition to study \nallowance and ordinarily travelling expenses will not be paid, but in exceptional cases claims \nwill be considered on their merits by the Government of Pakistan or the Local Government. \n \n16. Study allowance will be admissible up to 14 days for any period of vacation. \nA period, during which a Government servant interrupts his course for his own convenience, \ncannot be considered as vacation. Study allowance may be given at the discretion of the \nGovernment of Pakistan or a local Government for any period up to fourteen days at one \ntime during which the officer is prevented by sickness duly certified by a medical \npractitioner from pursuing the sanctioned course of study. In the case of a Government \nservant retiring from the service without returning to duty after a period of study leave, the \nstudy allowance will be forfeited. If the Government servant is under civil leave rules the \nstudy leave will be converted into ordinary leave to the extent of the ordinary leave standing \nto his credit at the date of retirement. Any balance of the period of study leave mentioned \nabove which cannot be so converted will be excluded in reckoning service for pension. \n \n17. Government servants granted study leave are ordinarily required to meet the \ncost of fees paid for courses of study. In exceptional cases, the Government of Pakistan or \nthe Local Government will be prepared to consider proposals that such fees should be paid \nby Government. \n \n18. On completion of a course of study a certificate on the proper form (which \nmay be obtained from the Ambassador), together with certificates of examinations passed or \nof special study shall be forwarded to the authority which sanctioned the leave. In the case \nof a definite course of study at a recognized Institution, the study allowance will be payable \nby the Ambassador or in Pakistan, as the case may be, on claims submitted by the \nGovernment servant from time to time, supported by proper certificates of attendance. When \nthe programme of study approved under Rule 12 does not include or does not consist entirely \nof such a course of study, the Government servant shall submit to the Ambassador or to the \n\nPage - 500 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-5 \n \nauthority in Pakistan which sanctioned his leave, as the case may be, a diary showing how \nhis time has been spent, and a report indicating fully the nature of the methods and \noperations which have been studied, and including suggestion as to the possibility of \napplying such methods or operations to Pakistan. The sanctioning authority in Pakistan will \ndecide whether the diary and report show that the time of the Government servant has been \nproperly employed, and will determine accordingly for what period the study allowance \nreferred to in Rule 15 may be granted. \n \n19. Study leave will count as service for promotion and pension, but not for \nleave. It will not affect any leave which may already be due to a Government servant; it will \ncount as extra leave on half average pay and will be taken into account in reckoning the \naggregate amount of leave on half average pay taken by the Government servant towards the \nmaximum period admissible under the Fundamental Rules. \n \n20. During study leave a Government servant will draw half pay. A Government \nservant may, subject to the approval of the proper authorities being obtained as required by \nRule 12 or 13, undertake or commence a course of study during leave on average pay, and, \nsubject to Rules 15 and 16, draw study allowance in respect thereof, provided that study \nallowance is not drawn for an aggregate period exceeding two years during the entire service \nof a Government servant. This rule applies to military officers in civil employment taking \nleave under the Fundamental Rules. \n \n21. On an application for study leave abroad being sanctioned by a Local \nGovernment, it should inform the Ambassador of the particulars of the case. It will be \nnecessary for the Government servant concerned to place himself in communication with the \nAmbassador, who will arrange any details and issue any letters of introduction that may be \nrequired. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s Notification No. S.R.O. 923(I)/85, dated 8-9-1985 \npublished in gazette of Pakistan, Extraordinary dated 1-10-1985]. \n \n12.1 \nCasual Leave – Grant of Maximum Leave at a Time \n \nAmount of Casual Leave admissible during a calendar year and the maximum at a \ntime.

It has now been decided that 15 days' \ncasual leave at a time may be granted to the members of staff also. This rule may be relaxed \nat the discretion of the Head of Department in special circumstances in the case of officers as \nwell as members of staff. \n \n2. \nIt has also been decided that Ministries, Departments, etc., should be more \nliberal in the grant of casual leave.

No.9/2/53-Public, dated 12-8-1953]. \n \n12.3 \nSpreading of Casual Leave \nOver Two Years \n \nA question has been raised whether casual leave can be granted within the \nprescribed limit at one time in such a manner as to spread it over 2 years, i.e. some portion of \nit in one calendar year and the rest in the following year in one stretch. It has been decided \nthat a Head of Department may grant casual leave in one spell within the prescribed limit so \nas to debit a part of it against the account of one calendar year and part of it against the \naccount of the following calendar year, provided leave is due. For instance, if a person take \n15 days casual leave on the 22nd December and has to his credit 10 days casual leave in that \nyear, there will be no objection if 10 days leave is debited against that credit and the \nremaining 5 days are debited to the account of the following year. In other words, he would \nbe deemed to have taken 10 days casual leave at the end of that year and 5 days leave in the \nbeginning of the next year. \n[Authority.- Home Affairs Division‘s O.M.

After careful consideration of the matter it has been decided that: \n \n(a) \ncasual leave may be prefixed or suffixed to a closed or optional holiday, \n \n(b) \ncasual leave may be sandwitched in between two closed or optional \nholidays. \n \n2. \nHowever, if a closed or an optional holiday falls between two days of casual \nleave it should also be counted as a casual leave. \n[Authority.- Home Affairs Division‘s O.M. No.9/1/53-Public, dated 24-4-1953]. \n12.5 \nProcedure for Grant of Casual Leave \nto the Secretaries to the Government \nand Heads of Departments \n \nA question has been raised as to who should grant leave to Secretaries to the \nGovernment of Pakistan. \n \n2. \nAccording to item 48 in Appendix 13 of the Fundamental and Supplementary \nRules-Volume II, the Ministries have been delegated full powers to grant leave to a gazetted \nGovernment Servant not in foreign service. \n \n3. \n In accordance with the above rule, the Secretary as the official head of the \nDivision is empowered to grant leave to his subordinates. It is not, however, clear as to who \nis the appropriate authority for grant of leave to the Secretaries. Under the Rules of Business, \n1973, the Minister, who is the next higher authority, is mainly concerned with policy matters \nand does not ordinarily pass executive orders himself. Normally, such cases have to be \n\nPage - 502 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-5 \n \nsubmitted for the President's orders. In order to avoid frequent references to the President, \nthe following procedure has been laid down:- \n \n (i) \nThe Minister-in-Charge may grant casual leave upto 10 days to a Secretary to \nthe Government of Pakistan on behalf of the President and the Establishment \nDivision should be informed in such cases. \n \n(ii) \nAll cases of casual leave beyond 10 days and cases of earned leave upto a \nperiod of 1 month will be submitted through the Minister to the President for \norders under intimation to the Establishment Division. \n \n(iii) Leave applications of Secretaries for a period of more than 1 month would be \nendorsed by the Minister to the Establishment Division for obtaining the \nPresident's orders. \n \n4. \nThe above instructions may please be brought to the notice of all concerned \nfor strict compliance. \n[Authority.- Estt.

While some officers appropriate their own casual \nleave without reference to the Ministry/Division concerned, and take permission only when \nthey have to leave the station, others simply inform the Ministry/Division after the casual \nleave has been availed of. The question of laying down a uniform policy in this regard has \nbeen examined in the Establishment Division and the following instructions are issued for \ncompliance:- \n \n(1) \nThe Heads of Attached Departments/Subordinate Offices should obtain, as \nfar as possible, prior approval of the Ministry/Division concerned before \navailing themselves of the casual leave, when the purpose thereof could be \nforeseen in advance. \n \n(2) \nIn case of unforeseen and urgent circumstances when the casual leave is \nrequired for one or two days and it is not possible to obtain prior permission, \nhe may avail of the leave and send leave application to the authority concerned \nimmediately, and may also, if possible, inform the authority on telephone. \n \n(3) \nIn special circumstances when even the procedure mentioned at (2) above \ncannot be followed, the officers should appropriate their own casual leave \nand inform in writing, the officer concerned in the Ministry/Division as early \nas possible. \n \n2. \nAs regards the status of officers in the Ministries/Divisions administratively \nconcerned to whom the Heads of Attached Departments/ Subordinate Offices should apply \nfor casual leave, the normal procedure for applying to the next higher officer should be \nfollowed. For example, if the Head of the Department/Subordinate Office enjoys the status \nof Deputy Secretary to the Federal Government or is of equivalent rank, he may apply to the \nJoint Secretary of the Ministry/Division concerned and so on. \n[Authority.- Estt.

No.9/10/54-Public, dated 27-01-1955] \n \n\nPage - 504 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-5 \n \n \n12.10 Grant of Casual Leave to Government \nServants Deputed Abroad \n \nAccording to the administrative instructions in Para V (2) of Appendix 3 of the \nFundamental and Supplementary Rules, Volume II, casual leave must not be granted to a \nGovernment Servant so as to cause evasion of the rules regarding return to duty. Similarly, \naccording to Government Order under F.R 51-A, the grant of return passage to Pakistan on \nconclusion of deputation abroad is conditional on the official's return to duty forthwith on the \nconclusion of the deputation, unless the arrangement to the contrary effect had been specially \npermitted at the time the deputation closes, or is about to close, and the proposed leave is \nbegun. A question had been raised as to whether in view of these instructions, the grant of \ncasual leave to a Government Servant deputed outside Pakistan on temporary official duty or \non training, either before the commencement or after the expiry of the sanctioned period of \ndeputation, which, would have the effect of extending his stay outside Pakistan, would be in \norder. It is clarified that although there is no absolute bar on the grant of casual leave outside \nPakistan in such cases, it should, ordinarily be discouraged and should be allowed only in \nexceptional circumstances. \n[Authority:- Finance Division‘s O.M.

If an officer is required to be transferred earlier than 3 \nyears, the orders of Establishment Division are required to be obtained. \n \n President/Prime Minister. \n BPS. \n\n Page - 516 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n(2) \nOfficers should not be transferred as a result of their taking leave for short \nperiods for rest and recreation for which only acting arrangements should be \nmade. \n(3) \nOrdinarily 3 months notice should be given to government servants who are \ntransferred from one station to another to enable them to plan their affairs. \n \n3. \nThe above instructions may be passed on to departments under the \nadministrative control of the Division/Ministry. \n[Authority.- Establishment Secretary‘s D.O. letter No.1/24/78, C.P., dated 30-9-1978]. \n \n1.3 \nNormal Tenure of Posting \n \nIt has been observed that government instructions with regard to normal tenure for \nan officer on the same job/post issued from time to time are not being followed with the \nresult that in some Ministries/Divisions/Departments, officers have continued to work on the \nsame desk for unduly long periods. The position has been reviewed and the competent \nauthority has laid down the following criteria for posting/transfer of the officers working in \nMinistries/ Divisions and the Attached Departments/Subordinate Offices, Autonomous and \nSemi-Autonomous Organizations, under their administrative control: \n \nI. \nPOSTINGS/TRANSFERS WITHIN PAKISTAN \n \n(i) \nThe normal tenure of an officer on the same post should be three years. \n \nPosting of an officer on the same post beyond the normal tenure will \n \nrequire concurrence of the competent authority, in each case. \n \n(ii) \nShifting of the officer may be phased in a manner that no dislocation in \nthe official work takes place due to large scale transfers. \n \n(iii) \nOrdinarily, three months notice should be given to the officer who is to be \ntransferred. Exception may, however, be made in case the officer is required \nto be shifted immediately in the public interest with the approval of the \ncompetent authority. \n \n(iv) \nOrders for premature transfers in the Ministries/Divisions/Departments of \n \nthe Federal Government should be referred to the Establishment Division; \n \nand in the Autonomous/Semi-Autonomous Organizations to the \n \nadministrative Ministry concerned. \n \n(v) \nThese instructions will not strictly apply to technical and professional \n \nofficers/experts recruited for particular posts. However, posting/ transfer \n \nof such officers may also be rotated in their parent departments/cadres as \n \nfar as possible in accordance with the rules of the post. \nII. \nPostings/Transfers to Pakistan Missions Abroad (Other Than Posts \nAdministered by Ministry of Foreign Affairs) \n \n(i) \nPosts in foreign missions abroad should be filled on the basis of detailed job \ndescriptions to be prepared by the controlling Ministry; \n \n(ii) \nThe controlling Ministry should prepare a panel of suitable officers for the \npost; \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 517 \n \n \n \n(iii) The panel of suitable officers should be considered by a Committee of the \ncontrolling Ministry including a representative of the Establishment Division; \n \n (iv) The recommendations of the Committee should be considered by the Special \nSelection Board; and \n \n (v) The recommendations of the Special Selection Board should be submitted to \nthe competent authority for approval. \n \n2. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to proceed further in the matter of \npostings/transfers as above and bring these instructions to the notice of all departments, \noffices, autonomous/semi-autonomous bodies and corporations under their control for strict \ncompliance. \n[Authority.— Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.10/10/94-R.2, dated 22-3-1994]. \n \n1.4 \nNormal Tenure for an Officer on the Same Job/Post \n \nIt has been observed that a number of officers remain at the same desk for \nconsiderable period of time. This arrangement is not administratively desirable as the \nofficers holding the same post for a long time tend to develop rigidity in the outlook and \nideas and do not view the problems with the same objectivity as they normally should. It is, \ntherefore, essential that officers should not be allowed to remain on the same job for any \nlength of time. Normal tenure for an officer on the same post should be three years and \nshould not exceed five years in any case. \n \n2. \nThe above orders apply not only to the Ministries and Divisions but also to \nall kinds of organizations, including the Attached Departments and Subordinate Offices as \nwell as autonomous bodies and corporations under the administrative control of the various \nFederal Ministries/Divisions. \n \n3. \nAs regards the technical officers/experts, if they have been recruited for the \nsame post in which they are working, the orders referred to above will not apply. However, \nif it is possible to rotate such officers, this may be done. \n[Authority.- Establishment Secretary‘s d.o. letter Nos.27/370-F.1, dated 4-11-1970 and 30-6-1971]. \n \n1.5 \nPosting of Officers in Pakistan Missions Abroad \n \nRefer to the decision of the Competent Authority in the Chief Executive Secretariat \non the above subject and to say that the Chief Executive of Pakistan shall be the approving \nauthority for all appointments/postings against posts in BS-17 and above, pertaining to \nMinistry of Commerce, Ministry of Labour, Manpower & Overseas Pakistanis, Ministry of \nInformation & Media Development and for posts at the strength of other Ministries/ \nDivisions in Pakistan Missions abroad. \n \n2. \nThe Special Selection Board constituted with the approval of the \nCompetent Authority in respect of officers in BS-17 and above, shall continue \nfunctioning as at present.

In the recent past a few \nMinistries/ Divisions approached this Division also supporting requests of their employees \nfor reversion to lower posts for the purpose of posting abroad. \n \n2. \nThe above matter has been given careful consideration keeping in view the \nprovisions of section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 and F.R. 15.

Pakistan Administrative Service \n(PAS) and Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) are the only two All Pakistan Services, \nhaving sanctioned strength in BS 17 to 22 in the Federal Government, the four Provincial \nGovernments and Government of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). Given the fact that many areas in \nthese governments are far flung, geographically dispersed, sharply differing from one \nanother culturally, linguistically and administratively, allocation of officers of the PAS \nand PSP to these governments requires careful and objective handling. \n \n2. \nFor the purpose of ensuring a transparent, objective and equitable \nframework for transfers and postings, to and from these governments, a policy framework \nknown as ―Rotation Policy of PAS/PSP Officers‖ was introduced in the year 2000. This \nframework was amended from time to time and needed a thorough review keeping in \nview the distortions and lacunae that were noticed while implementing this policy \nframework, since its notification. This policy has been drafted keeping in view the issues, \nidentified during implementation of the existing policy, based on the broad principles that \nFederation ensures provision of adequate number of PAS/PSP officers against the \nsanctioned posts in the Federation units and the Federal Government besides ensuring \nthat all officers are provided opportunities to serve across the federating units before they \nattain the highest levels in governments. Rotation Policy, 2000 shall be replaced with \nRotation Policy,2020 under the Civil Servants Act,1973, so that rotation of officers \namong various governments becomes an unavoidable undertaking in which creation of \nexceptions is minimized. The Rotation Policy,2020 has been finalized after consultation \nwith all governments. \nApplication and Exceptions \n \n3. \nThe applicability of this policy will be as follows: \n \na. \nThese policy provisions shall be applicable to PAS/PSP officers; \n \n b. \nThere shall be no exception to the application of the policy on any \n \ngrounds whatsoever, including gender or marital status except \nwhere \n \nexpressly stated; \n \nc. \nStandard exceptions like personal hardship and spousal location, \n \nwhich are a norm in many other cadres and departments across the \n \ncountry, shall not be available to the officers of PAS and PSP, \ngiven the primacy, priority and eminence of their service groups and \n \npositions they occupy; and \n \nd. \nWedlock Policy shall also not be applicable to PAS/PSP officers. \nObjectives: \n \n4. \nThe objectives of this policy are: \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 529 \n \n \n \na) \nBased on the experience of operation of existing Rotation Policy \nand the lacunae/distortions observed therein, it is important to \nensure that all governments, are served by the PAS/PSP officers in \nvarious grades. \n \nb) \nThe tendency of officers to remain in one government for years by \n \nbringing extraneous pressures is checked and curbed. \n \nc) \nOnus to serve in all the governments on sanctioned posts is equitably \n \nshared by the officers of PAS/PSP. \n \nd) \nShortage of officers in all grades, of these services, is equally \n \ndistributed among all the governments in Pakistan. \nPrinciples of Policy \n \n5. \nRotation Policy, 2020 shall regulate transfer/posting of PAS/PSP officers, \nfalling in the following categories: \n \na. \nFirst allocation, and service after completion of Specialized Training \n \nProgramme (STP), in a government other than that of an officer‘s \n \nprovince of domicile; \n \nb. \nMandatory service in hard areas for male officers in BS-17 to 19; \n \nc. \nRotation of officers serving for long continuous periods at one \n \ngeographical location; \n \nd. \nRationalization of shortage of officers in each grade, among all the \n \ngovernments, by transferring least rotated officers to government(s) \n \nwith highest shortage. \nA. \nFirst Allocation \n \n6. \nFirst allocation of every PAS/PSP officer shall be made outside the province \nof his/her domicile on the basis of preferences based on seniority/merit and keeping in view \nthe vacancies in each government. \n7. \nA male officer shall be required to serve in the provincial \ngovernment/ICT/Gilgit Baltistan until his promotion to BS-18 or for 5 years starting from the \ndate he joins the provincial government/ICT/Gilgit Baltistan after STP as AC (UT)/ ASP \n(UT), whichever is earlier; \n8. \nA female officer shall be required to serve in the provincial \ngovernment/ICT/Gilgit Baltistan until her promotion to BS-18 or for 3 years starting from \nthe date she joins the provincial government/ICT/Gilgit Baltistan after STP as AC (UT)/ASP \n(UT), whichever is earlier. \n9. \nFor PSP officers, the one-year FC posting in BS 17 will be considered as \nperiod served in the government of initial allocation irrespective of the geographical location \nwhere the FC posting in BS 17 is undertaken. \n10. \nNo transfer of an officer, on any ground to any provincial government/ \nICT/Gilgit Baltistan shall be allowed until his/her promotion or completion of 5 years in case \nof male officers and 3 years in case of female officers, whichever is earlier. \n\n Page - 530 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n11. \nPolicy provisions regarding posting of officers, under this section of the \npolicy, shall apply to batches who are inducted in PAS/PSP through CSS examination held \nin the year 2020 and onwards. \nB. \nMandatory Service in Hard Areas \n \n12. \nEvery male PAS/PSP officer will have to serve a minimum of two years in \nthe hard areas notified by Establishment Division during service in BS 17 to 19. \nC. \nContinuous Service of 10 Years in a Government \n \n13. \nNo PAS/PSP officer of BS 20 and below shall be allowed to serve in a \nGovernment for more than 10 years continuously. In order to determine the length of period \nserved in any government: \n \na. \nThe period spend on EOL/earned leave/study leave/OSD/training/ \nforeign deputation/foreign posting shall not be considered as break \nand will be included, for the purpose of computing the continuous \nperiod of ten years. \n \nb. \nThe time spent by an officer on a post of the Federal Government \n \nlocated within the geographical limits of the provincial/other \n \ngovernments shall be counted towards computing his service in that \n \nprovincial/other governments shall be counted towards computing his \n \nservice in that provincial/other government. \n \nc. \nFor the purpose of calculating a break in the continuous period served \n \nby officers currently posted in a government i.e. on the day of \n \nnotification of this Policy, following special provision shall be used: \n \n \n \n \nfor a period to be considered a valid ‗break‘ within the previous \n \nten years‘ service. an officer would have served in another \n \ngovernment, and on stations outside the geographical limits of \n \nhis/her current government, for at least one year continuously. \n \nProvided that period spent on EOL/OSD/earned leave /study \n \nleave / training/ foreign deputation/foreign posting shall not be \n \ncounted towards this one year. \n \nd. \nOnce an officer has been compulsorily rotated under this policy, and \n \nposted to a particular government, then: \n \n \n \n(i) \nMale officer shall not return to the government of his previous \n \nten-year posting, before completing two years at stations of his \n \nposting situated outside of the geographical limits of \n \ngovernment of his ten-year posting. \n \n \n \n(ii) \nFemale officer shall not return to the government of her \n \nprevious ten-year posting, before completing one year at \n \nstations of her posting situated outside of the geographical \n \nlimits of government of her ten-year posting. \n \n \n \n(iii) \nProvided that period spent on EOL/OSD/earned leave /study \n \nleave/ training/ deputation shall not be counted towards these \n \ntwo years and one year respectively. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 531 \n \n \n \ne. \nThe current officers who have served continuously for 10 years or \n \nmore in any of the government shall be transferred to other \n \ngovernments in three phases spanning over six months each and \n \nstarting with the officers who have longest tenures in a government. \n \nFemale officers will not be relocated in the first phase but transferred \n \nin second and third phase. \nD. \nLeast Rotated Transferred First \n \n14. \nTo meet further shortage, the officers can be rotated even before completion \nof ten years‘ continuous service in a government on the principle of least rotated transferred. \n \n15. \nLeast rotated will be calculated as: \n \na. \n― On the basis of the time spent posted outside the government in \nwhich the officer has served the longest. That officer will be \ntransferred first who has the lowest percentage of time spent posted \noutside the government in which the officer has served the longest in \nrelation to \nhis total length of service.‖ \n \nb. \nThe period spent on any kind of leave/OSD/competitive scholarship/ \nforeign deputation/foreign posting shall not be considered as break \nand will be included, for the purpose of computing the continuous \nservice in a government. \n \nc. \nThe time spent by an officer on a post of the Federal Government \nlocated within the geographical limits of the provincial/other \ngovernments shall be counted towards computing his service in that \nprovincial/other government. The only exception to this rule would \nbe the post of Directing Staff in National School of Public Policy, \nCSA and NPA, provided the officer was among the top three (03) in \nhis/her batch in the last of the mandatory trainings (NMC,SMC and \nMCMC as the case may be). \n Illustration: \nOfficer A (BS-20) has a total of 25 years service. He has served 15 years \nin Province I, while serving 8 years in Federal Government and 2 years in \nProvince II. Thus his cumulative time spent outside the government in \nwhich he has served the longest (Province I) comes out to be 10 years (or \n40% i.e. 10/25). \n \n \nOfficer B (BS-20) has a total of 20 years-service. He has served 11 years \nin Federal Government, while serving 4 years in Province I and 5 years in \nProvince II. Thus, his cumulative time spent outside the government in \nwhich he has served the longest (Federal Government) comes out to be 9 \nyears (or 45% i.e 9/20). \n \n \nOfficer C (BS-20) has a total of 22 years service. He has served 15 years \nin Province I, while serving 3 years in Province II, 2 years in Province III \nand 2 years in Province IV. Thus, his cumulative time spent outside the \ngovernment in which he has served the longest (Province I) comes out to \nbe 7 years (or 32% i.e. 7/22). \n\n Page - 532 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n \n \nOfficer D (BS-20) has a total of 24 years, including 2 years Study \nLeave and one year deputation abroad. He has served 15 years in \nFederal Government (including one-year deputation abroad), while \nserving 3 years in Province I, 3 years in Province II (including Study \nleave) and 3 years in ICT. Thus, his cumulative time spent outside the \ngovernment in which he has served the longest (Federal Government) \ncomes out to be 9 years (or 37.5% i.e. 9/22). \n \n \nThus, the order in which these officers shall be posted to other \ngovernments will be Officer C, Officer D, Officer A and Officer B. \n16. \nGovernment may transfer any officer from any government, and post \nhim/her to any government, at any time in his/her career keeping in view the exigencies \nof governance, before completion of 10 years‘ continuous service in a government. \n17. \nShortage of officers, alongwith the numbers required for equalizing the \nshortage ratio, in all governments viz-a-viz sanctioned posts in each grade shall be \nworked out by Establishment Division in January and July of each year. \nEnabling Provisions \n18. \nNotwithstanding anything contained in this policy, Government may \ntransfer a BPS 21 or 22 officer from any government and may post him/her to any other \ngovernment keeping in view the exigencies of governance. \n19. \nOfficers proceeding on any kind of leave/competitive scholarship/ foreign \ndeputation/foreign posting for a period of one year or more shall report to Establishment \nDivision before proceeding on the same. \n20. \nGrade-wise Lists of Officers for rotation shall be prepared by \nEstablishment Division twice a year, in the months of January and July. \n21. \nShortage of Officers, alongwith the numbers required for equalizing the \nshortage, in all governments viz-a-viz sanctioned posts in each grade shall be worked out \nby Establishment Division in January and July of each year. \nConditions Related to Promotions \n22. \nFor the purpose of eligibility for promotion BS-19, service of at least 5 \nyears and 3 years outside of the province of domicile shall be compulsory for every male \nand female officer respectively. This condition, however, shall be applicable on the \nbatches who are inducted in PAS/PSP through CSS examination in the year 2020 and \nonwards. \n23. \nA male officer shall not be considered eligible for promotion to BS-20 by \nCentral Selection Board if he has not served in a hard area, to be notified by \nEstablishment Division, for at least 2 years during the entire career as a PAS/PSP officer. \nThis provision shall become applicable after three years from the date of notification of \nthis Rotation Policy, PAS/PSP officers having completed 14 years of service in BS-17 \nand above, after notification of this Rotation Policy, shall be rotated to hard areas based \non seniority forthwith so as the provide adequate opportunity to all officers to serve 2 \nyears in hard areas before they are due to be considered for promotion to BS-20. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 533 \n \n \n24. \nAn officer shall not be considered eligible for promotion to BS-21 by a \nCentral Selection Board if he/she was serving in a government/ within geographical \nlimits of the Government continuously for more than 10 years until he/she has been \ntransferred out of that government and has served for at least one year in another \ngovernment outside the geographical limits of the government of 10 or more years stay. \nThis provision, however, shall become applicable after two years from the date of \nnotification of this Rotation Policy. \n25. \nThese conditions related to promotion will be duly observed under rule 6 \n(1) (d) of the Civil Servants Promotion (BPS-18 to BPS-21) Rules,2019. \nANCILLARY PROVISIONS \n26. \nWedlock Policy shall not apply to PAS/PSP officers in relation of \nRotation Policy; instead, spouses shall be posted closest to places of posting of PAS/PSP \nofficers and not vice versa. \n27. \nOffices shall be allowed to retain at least one Government \naccommodation anywhere in the country for settling their families. Subject to availability \nsuitable accommodation shall be made readily available to the offices transferred to other \ngovernments. \n28. \nHard area incentives for Balochistan & Gilgit Baltistan, as already \nnotified, shall remain intact and shall also apply to any other hard area to be notified by \nEstablishment Division with approval of the Prime Minister. \n29. \nThe Rotation Policy 2020 shall come into force w.e.f. 1st January, 2021. \nRotation Policy, 2000, and all amendments made therein from time to time, shall be \nrepealed on the notification of this policy.

Such \ntransparency and merit shall be clearly visible from the processes, \nprocedures and practices that are adopted for selection; \niv. \nAll foreign posts that are vacant and available or are likely to become vacant \nand available within one year of the date of circulation of such vacancy, will \nbe circulated amongst the officers of the identified services, cadres and \noccupational groups, clearly specifying eligibility criteria in terms of \neducational qualifications, experience, age and so forth; \nv. \nThere shall be a precondition of passing a written qualifying test, but the test \nshall be organized by the concerned Ministry through the Lahore University \nof Management Sciences, Lahore or the Institute of Business \nAdministration, Karachi; \nvi. \nThe minimum qualifying score in the written test will be set at 60 percent; \nvii. \nCandidates qualifying the test will be called for an interview, which will be \nconducted by a committee to be constituted with the approval of the Prime \nMinister; \nviii. \n[Sixty percent weightage will be given to the written test scores and forty \npercent weightage to the interview scores; \nix. \nFifty percent passing marks in the interview, and the candidates scoring less \nthan the required threshold shall be deemed to have failed to qualify for the \nposition;] \nx. \nSuccessful candidates shall be given, in order of their merit, comprising of \nsummation of scores in written test and interview, the option to choose the \nstation of their choice from amongst circulated stations; \nxi. \nThe tenure fixed for each foreign post shall be strictly followed and will not \nbe extendable; \nxii. \nAn officer of identified services, cadres and occupational groups for any \nforeign post will be eligible for two tenures of foreign posting in his entire \nservice, provided that there shall be an intervening period of at least three \nyears between two such tenures; \nxiii. \nNo relaxation or exceptional to the above policy guidelines shall be granted \nwithout prior approval of the Prime Minister for which the concerned \nMinistry shall provide detailed justifications in a summary; and, \nxiv. \nFailure to initiate and complete the process of selection of new officers, prior \nto completion of tenures of incumbents shall be the personal responsibility \nof the concerned Secretary. \n \n2. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are requested to strictly follow this procedure in \nfuture while recommending officers for posting abroad in Pakistan Missions and against \nPakistan‘s seats in International, Multilateral, Bilateral and Regional Organizations, Fora \nand Bodies. \n[Authority:— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 4/3/2016-T-IV dated 16-02-2016]. \n \n Para-1(viii,ix) amended vide Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 4/3/2016-T-IV dated 21-10-2020. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 535 \n \n \n \nIV. IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSFER/POSTING ORDER \n \n4.1 \nImplementation of Transfer Orders of Officers \nAttention is drawn to office Memorandum No. 10/1/85-R.2. dated 11th \nNovember, 1985 issued by the Establishment Division whereby it was conveyed that \nunder current procedures in force the Ministries/Divisions etc. on receipt of transfer \norders of an officer were to relieve the incumbent within one week with the responsibility \nof such action lying with the head of office. In case it was not possible to relieve the \nofficer under transfer within a week, a reference was to be made to the Establishment \nDivision by the head of the Ministry/Division concerned explaining the circumstances \ndue to which it was not possible to relieve the officer and when he would be relieved. \n2. \nThe tendency of not honouring the Notifications issued by the \nEstablishment Division puts Establishment Division in an embarrassing position besides \ncreating administrative difficulties/problems for the Ministries/Divisions where such \nofficers are being posted. It would be appreciated that whereas the Ministries/Divisions \nhave to look after their own interest only, the Establishment Division is required to \noversee the position of the postings/transfers in all Ministries/Divisions of the Federal \nSecretariat. This situation is accentuated when are faced with shortage of Section Officers \nin the Federal Secretariat. \n3. \nIn view of the above it is re-iterated that when orders of transfer of an \nofficer serving under a particular Ministry/Division are received he should be relieved \nwithin a week‘s time. Furthermore, if the transfer of an officer is pending with your \nMinistry /Division the same may please be implemented immediately, failing which \ndisciplinary action may be taken against the officer under transfer. \n[Authority:—Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 6/3/92-OMG-II dated 06-12-1993] \n \n4.2 \nPosting and Transfer of Officers \nThe instructions issued by Establishment Division vide O.M.

Similarly, in certain cases, the transferred officers are not taken on \ncharge/accepted in their new assignments on one pretext or the other. This tendency of \nnot honoring Notifications issued by Establishment Division, in the public interest, \ncreates administrative difficulties/ problems for the Ministries/Divisions where such \nofficers are being posted. \n2. \nIn view of above it is once again reiterated that whenever orders of \ntransfer/posting of an officer received these should be implemented in letter and spirit. In \ncase of non-compliance Establishment Division will be constrained to take action against \nthe officers under transfer. \n[Authority:— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 1/1/2014-OMG-II dated 24-03-2014] \n \n\n Page - 536 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n4.3 \nSurrender of Section Officers Without Issue \nof Notification by Establishment Division \nThe \nEstablishment \nDivision \nhave \nnoticed \na \ntendency \namong \nMinistries/Divisions that when they are not satisfied with the performance of a Section \nOfficer they surrender the officer without consulting the Establishment Division and do \nnot wait for issue of formal notification by the Establishment Division. This action \ncreates a problem for the Establishment Division because the officer report to the \nEstablishment Division and Establishment Division has to pay them salary for the period \ntill they are posted elsewhere, thus unnecessarily burdening the budget of the \nEstablishment Division. \n2. \nThe Establishment Division have decided that Ministries/Divisions should \nnot surrender Section Officers unless and until a proper notification has been issued by \nthe Establishment Division. If a Section Officer is not desired to be retained by any \nMinistry/Division, a formal request indicating specific reasons for surrender may be \nintimated in the first instance, and after issue of notification, the officer may be relieved \nfor joining his new posting. If , however, any Ministry surrenders an officer without \nwaiting for a proper notification from the Establishment Division, Establishment Division \nwill not be obliged to provide a replacement section officer to the Ministry. \n[Authority:—Establishment Division‘s d.o letter No. 1/1/86-OMG.II. dated 20-02-1986] \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 537 \n \n \nV.

In cases where the transfer of charge involves assumption of responsibility for \ncash, stores, etc., the instructions laid down in rule 44 of Treasury Rules, Volume-I and \nrules 115 and 150 of the General Financial Rules, Vol.-I are followed. As regards \nmaintenance and handing/taking over of classified and accountable documents adequate \ninstructions exist vide paras 25 to 29 of the booklet ―Security of Classified Matter in \nGovernment Departments‖. \n \n2. \nThere is, however, no institutional arrangement in the Federal Secretariat \nunder which an officer, proceeding on long leave, transfer or retirement should leave \nbehind a memorandum on matters of importance concerning his charge, for the benefit of \nthe successor. Consequently, the successor has now himself to grope and find out major \ndevelopment about various issues relating to his office, either incidentally or as and when \nthey force his attention because of their urgency or importance. This lack of institutional \narrangement could affect adversely proper perspective or continuity in the handling of \nproblems at different levels. \n \n3. \nIt has, therefore, been decided that, apart from the procedure being \nfollowed in respect of cash, stores etc. mentioned in para 1 above, the officer proceeding \non leave, transfer or retirement should also prepare a brief note (Note to successor) \ndescribing important cases, major issues and the directions in which they are developing \nand any other matter that his successor should know. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Division‘s O.M. No.4/16/80-T.IV, dated 8-10-1981]. \n6.2 \nPremature Transfer of Government Servants \nBetween Pakistan and Pakistan Missions Abroad \n \nIn 1958, the Establishment Division decided, in pursuance of the \nrecommendations of the Economy Committee that the transfer of officers between the \ntwo zones of Pakistan and between Pakistan and foreign countries should normally be \nmade after three years. If a transfer was unavoidable before the expiry of this period, \nsanction of the Cabinet Secretariat (Establishment Division) should be obtained \ninvariably before the transfer orders were issued by the administrative Ministry. The \nEstablishment Division reiterated these instructions from time to time. \n \n2. \nThis Ministry felt that transfer of officials within the two zones of the then \nPakistan stood on an altogether different footing from transfer of officials from Pakistan \nto Missions abroad and vice versa. The exigencies of service, such as inadequacy of staff \nfor certain types of posts, the special suitability of certain officers for certain Missions, the \nalmost continuous re-organization of Missions abroad, etc. made it well-nigh impossible to \nrigidly adhere to the principle of three years‘ tenure abroad. However, the Establishment \n \n BPS \n Foreign Affairs Group; now Foreign Service of Pakistan. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 539 \n \n \nDivision were not agreeable to exempt this Ministry from the operation of the instructions in \nquestion. \n \n3. \nThe Secretary (Administration) discussed the case with the Establishment \nSecretary, when the latter agreed to exempt this Ministry from the application of the said \nrestraint. It may be stated in this connection that in many cases orders of premature transfers \nare issued under the directions of the Prime Minister. In the case of Heads of Missions all \norders of appointment and recall/transfer are issued in accordance with the directives of the \nPrime Minister. \n \n4. \nThe Establishment Secretary may kindly see for his formal concurrence in \nthe proposed exemption of this Ministry from the requirement of obtaining prior approval of \nthe Establishment Division in cases of premature transfer of officials between the Ministry of \nForeign Affairs and the Pakistan Missions abroad. \n[Authority.- Ministry of Foreign Affairs U.O.

Several candidates, who appeared before the \nCommission on the basis of their ―duplicate/advance copy‖, have told the Commission \nthat their original applications fell a prey to the clerical redtapism in their respective \noffices, and their applications could not be forwarded to the Commission. The \nCommission have also complained that in several cases, the Provincial Governments as \nwell as the Federal Ministries/Divisions/ Departments informed the Commission about \nthe withholding of applications, after the closing date and in certain cases at a stage when \nthe employee/ candidate had even been interviewed. It will be appreciated that with such \nstate of affairs, not only the efforts of the Commission are wasted, but the talented/ \nsuitable candidates are also prevented from selection/ nomination. \n \n3. \nUnder these circumstances, it has been decided that:- \n (i) \nIf the Provincial Governments and the Federal Ministries do not inform \nthe Commission of their refusal, within one month of the ―closing date‖, it \nwill be presumed by the Commission that permission has been granted to \nthe employee/ candidate who has applied in advance; and \n(ii) \nIn view of (i) above, if a departmental candidate/employee is selected/ \nnominated by the Commission, the parent Government/Ministry/ \nDepartment/Corporation etc. of that candidate shall be bound to relieve \nhim, to enable him to join the post for which he has been nominated. \n \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s Letter No.8/54/79-F.1-D.(5), dated 16-8-1981]. \n7.3 \nRecruitment of Candidates on a Pay Higher \nThan the Minimum Scale of the Post \n \nIt has been decided in consultation with the Ministry of Finance that the \nfollowing procedure shall be adopted in connection with recruitment through the Federal \nPublic Service Commission when it is proposed to appoint a candidate on an initial pay \nhigher than the minimum of the post and the requisition sent to the Commission admits of \nsuch higher initial pay being given in suitable cases: \n(i) \nOrdinarily, posts will be advertised on prescribed scales and there need be \nno provision in the advertisement for a higher initial pay being given. In \n\n Page - 544 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \nall such cases, the appointments must be made on the minimum of the \nscales. No representation for a salary higher than the minimum of the scale \nwill be entertained from any person who enters government service in \nresponse to such advertisement without prior consultation with the Federal \nPublic Service Commission and the Ministry of Finance. \n(ii) \nIn special cases, however, where due to dearth of suitable candidates or \nwhere previous attempts to attract candidates on the minimum of the scale \nhad failed, it may be felt necessary to provide for a higher starting pay. In \nsuch cases, whenever the requisitions for recruitment are sent to the \nFederal Public Service Commission, the prior concurrence of the Ministry \nof Finance must be obtained, if it is intended in deserving cases to provide \na higher initial pay than the minimum of the advertised scale. The limit in \nthe scale up to which the Federal Public Service Commission may be \nauthorised to recommend the starting salary will be laid down by the \nFinance Ministry in each such case. \n(iii) Before a recommendation as to the higher initial pay made by the \nCommission is accepted by the Ministry concerned, the concurrence of the \nMinistry of Finance must be obtained. \n(iv) Normally, no candidate should be given a salary higher than that \nrecommended by the Commission. If, however, in an exceptional case it \nis considered desirable to give a higher salary to a candidate than that \nsuggested by the Commission, it will be necessary to obtain the \nconcurrence of the Commission before seeking the approval of the \nMinistry of Finance. \n(v) \nAny subsequent recommendation made by the Commission must, before it \nis accepted, have the prior concurrence of the Ministry of Finance. \n \n2. \nThe procedure outlined above, will apply to posts to which recruitment is \nmade on contract. Each such case will however, be considered on its merits as regards \nthe scale of pay and the maximum of the higher start. \n \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.11/4/50-SEI, dated 16-5-1951]. \n \n7.4 \nModifications in Requisitions \nPlaced with FPSC \n \nReference instructions contained in the Establishment Division O.M. No. \n9/3/73-DV, dated 26th November, 1973 and O.M. No. 2/10/74- F.IV, dated 18th \nDecember, 1974. \n \n2. \nInstances continue to come to notice where after placing requisitions, for \nrecruitment with the Federal Public Service Commission, the Ministries/Divisions/ \nDepartments have made changes in those requisitions. In some cases, the number of \nposts notified for recruitment was reduced, in other cases the qualifications notified were \nmodified. There have also been cases where the domicile for the post was changed or the \nrequisition altogether withdrawn after the post had been advertised and the candidates \ninterviewed. Such modifications in requisitions placed with the Commission are not only \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 545 \n \n \nagainst the instructions issued by the Establishment Division but also place the \nCommission as well as the government in great embarrassment, apart from delay in \nrecruitment and wastage of public time and money. It has, therefore, been decided that, in \nfuture, if for very cogent reasons a requisition placed with the Commission has to be \namended or cancelled, the reference to the Commission should be made under the \nsignature of the Secretary of the Ministry/Division concerned giving the reasons for the \nproposed amendment. A copy of the communication should be endorsed to the \nEstablishment Division. \n[Authority:– Estt.

The Commission have observed that such amendments are generally proposed \nto accommodate ad-hoc appointees who otherwise do not fulfill the requirements of the \nrelevant recruitment rules. \n \n3. \nAs such situations cause embarrassment to the Commission, and result in \nconsiderable waste of time and funds spent on re-advertisement, it has been decided that \nin future no request for amendment/withdrawal of requisition for recruitment will be \nentertained by the Commission on the plea of an amendment in the recruitment rules. The \namendments, if any, will have only prospective and not retrospective application. \n \n4. \nWith a view to exercising proper check on such requests for amendment, \ncancellation/withdrawal of requisition etc., it has been decided that, in future, all such \nrequests should be routed through the Establishment Division by Ministries/ Divisions \netc. \n[Authority:– Estt.

At times they come late also. Generally, officers of BPS 19 or below are \nnominated. They, very often, do not have the requisite experience and/or lack relevant \nprofessional/ technical expertise in the field of the advertised post. The Commission is \nnot informed about the non-availability of a qualified officer for which last minute \nalternative arrangements are impossible to make. The names/addresses of the \nDepartmental Representatives are seldom given, nor are their telephone (Office and \nResidential) numbers provided. Thus the Commission is prevented from reaching them to \nensure their presence. \n \n3. \nIt is, therefore, requested that FPSC‘s instructions in this regard may \nkindly be complied with in letter and spirit so as to avoid any untoward situation in \nfuture. \n[Authority:– Estt.

What \nhappens is that either a deputationist does not want to come back to his parent department \nor the borrowing department does not allow him to revert to his parent department on \nexpiry of his term of deputation. This practice is against the interest of efficient \nadministration. \n \n2. \nIt has now been decided that in no case a government servant should \nremain on deputation to another department or autonomous body for more than five \nyears. If a government servant has completed his maximum period of deputation, and the \ndepartment still feels the need of his services, the borrowing department/organization \nshould write to the lending department to replace him by another government servant of \nthe same grade and qualification, failing which the borrowing organization would make \ntheir own arrangements. If a person is not willing to come back to his department on \nexpiry of the period of his deputation and tenders his resignation, that may normally be \naccepted. \n \n3. \nAll Ministries, Divisions and Departments are requested to review the \ncases of deputationists and take necessary action in the light of the above instructions. \n \n4. \nThis supersedes all previous instructions on the subject. \n8.6 \nDeputation of Government Servants – \nNormal Period of Deputation and \nExtension \n \nReference Establishment Division‘s OM No. 4/1/84-R-I(A), dated 20-11-1986 \naddressed to all Federal Secretaries/Provincial Chief Secretaries, wherein the following \ndirective of the Prime Minister was communicated: \n(a) \nIn all cases of appointment on contract, re-employment, secondment or \ndeputation the period of appointment should be clearly specified. \n(b) \nOn the last date of the specified period the officer should automatically \nstand relieved of his duties unless the orders of the competent authority \nhave been obtained in advance for extending the period. \n \n2. \nThe Ministries/Divisions were accordingly directed to specify the period \nof appointment in those cases where it was not specified and to ensure that no officer was \nappointed on contract, re-employment, secondment or on deputation without specifying \nthe period of appointment. It was also directed that on expiry of the specified period, the \nofficer should be relieved of his assignment forthwith unless the period has already been \nextended by the competent authority. \n \n3. \nThe standard terms and conditions of deputation which were drawn in \nconsultation with Finance Division and circulated vide Establishment Division‘s O.M \nNo. 1/13/87-R.I, dated 03-12-1990, provide that ―the normal period of deputation for all \n\n Page - 560 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \ncategories of government servants will be three years.

The method of appointment to \nposts is also prescribed in the recruitment rules. Filling up the posts through deputation, if \nnot provided so in the recruitment rules, leads to following adverse implications:- \n(i) \nIn case of promotion posts, the promotions of departmental personnel are \ndelayed/stopped. \n(ii) \nIn case the post is required to be filled through initial appointment, quota \nof a particular province is affected. \n \n3. \nIn order to bring the deputation policy in conformity with the present \npolicy of postings and transfers circulated vide Establishment Division‘s O.M. \nNo.10/10/94-R.2, dated 22nd March, 1994, and also to discourage the increasing tendency \nof postings through deputation, it has been decided that, in future, the deputation period \nwill be limited to three years only. A maximum two years extension in the deputation \nperiod will be considered only in exceptional cases, in the public interest, and with the \nprior approval of the Establishment Division in all cases of government servants in BPS-\n17 and above. The extension cases shall be forwarded to the Establishment Division at \nleast six months before the expiry of the three-year deputation period and with proper \njustification for the proposal. However, no deputation proposals will be entertained which \nwill adversely affect the method of appointment to the post as laid down in the \nrecruitment rules. Accordingly, all such proposals must invariably be accompanied by a \nformal assurance signed by at least the Joint Secretary (Admn) to that effect. \n \n4. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to also bring these instructions to the \nnotice of their Attached Departments, Subordinate Offices, Corporations, Autonomous \nBodies, etc, under their administrative control, for guidance/strict compliance. It may \nplease be noted that arrangements have been made in consultation with the Auditor \nGeneral‘s Office whereby payment of emoluments etc. to those on deputation will be \nstopped forthwith, immediately following the completion of the three-year deputation \nperiod, unless the Establishment Division‘s prior approval has been obtained and \nconveyed to the concerned Audit Circle. \n \n5. \nThe existing instructions on this subject issued vide Establishment \nDivision‘s O.M.No.1/28/75-D.2/R.3/R.I, dated 18th February, 1987 stand modified to the \nabove extent. \n[Authority.- Estt.

The reasons for declaring the persons \nemployed in the office concerned as unfit for appointment to the post in question should \nbe recorded by the authority concerned. When a person is appointed by transfer in the \ncircumstances stated above, his transfer should be considered to have been made in the \npublic interest. (b) When a transfer becomes necessary in the manner referred to above, it \nshould be arranged between the offices concerned without a reference to any outside \nauthority. It may be pointed out that a transfer should be made only if it is permissible \nunder the relevant rules relating to recruitment to the post or service concerned. In this \nconnection attention is also invited to the Establishment Division Office Memorandum \nNo. 54/2/48-Estt. (ME), dated the 21st November, 1949. \n \n5. \nThe position in his parent office of the person transferred temporarily to \nanother office.– When a transfer has been made in the public interest as explained in \nparagraph 4 above, the interests of the person concerned should be protected in his parent \noffice until he is confirmed in the borrowing office. For this purpose, when a vacancy \noccurs in a higher grade*in his parent office, the person concerned should be considered \ntherefor, and if he is selected for promotion in accordance with the relevant rules, he \nshould be appointed formally (and not actually) to the post in the higher grade*. \nSimilarly, if he was officiating, at the time of his transfer, in post a higher than the one in \nwhich he was employed permanently, he should be considered for confirmation in the \nhigher post when his turn comes. This would enable him to occupy, on reversion to his \nparent office, the position which he would have occupied had ―next rule― should \n \n Note: \nNext Below Rule: In initial substantive appointment of a government servant, his pay is fixed, if he holds a lien, \non a permanent post in this manner: if the appointment involves assumption of duties and responsibilities of \ngreater importance than those of the permanent post, he will draw as initial pay the stage of time scale next \nabove substantive pay in respect of the old post. When appointment to the new post does not involve such \nassumption, he will draw, as initial pay at the stage of the time scale equal to his substantive pay in respect of \nthe old post, or if there is no such stage, the stage next below that pay plus personal pay equal to the difference, \ntill he earns an increment in the time scale of the old post or in the time scale of the new post, whichever is less, \nbut if the minimum in the time scale of the new post is higher than his substantive pay, he will draw that \nminimum as initial pay. The guiding principle for the working of the next below rule, as given in FR 30(10) is \nthat an officer outside his regular line should not suffer by forfeiting acting promotion had he remained in his \nregular line. Thus a fortuitous acting promotion of a junior officer to an officer outside the line of promotion, \ndoes not give rise to claim under the next below rule. \n \nProcedure for regulating pay under the ‗next below rule‘: The Governor General has sanctioned the \nadoption of the following guiding principle in regard to the working in future of the ‗next below‘ rule. The \nintention of the so-called rule was apparently that an officer out of his regular line should not suffer by \nforfeiting acting promotion which he would otherwise have received had he remained in his regular line. From \nthat it follows that the fortuitous acting promotion of someone junior to an officer who is out of the regular line \ndoes not, in itself, give rise to a claim under the 'next below' rule. Before such a claim is established it should be \nnecessary that all the officers senior to the officer who is out of the regular line have been given acting \npromotion, and also the officer next below him, unless in any case the acting promotion is not given because of \ninefficiency, unsuitability or leave. In the event of one of these three bars being applicable to the officer \nimmediately below the officer outside his regular line, some other officer, even more junior should have \nreceived acting promotion and the officers, if any, in between should have been passed over for one of these \nreasons. \n \n \n \n\n Page - 568 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \nhowever, be allowed to him in respect of a promotion nor should he be placed in an \nadvantageous position vis-a-vis his colleagues in his parent office, by virtue of his \npromotion, if any, in the borrowing office. In other words, he should be considered, \nwhile on temporary deputation to the other office, as a member of his parent office for the \npurpose of confirmation, promotion, seniority etc. He should be allowed to revert to his \nparent office with the agreement of both the lending and the borrowing offices. \n \n6. \nSeniority on transfer from one office to another.– (i) The instructions in \nthe foregoing paragraphs regulate the position of a deputationist in his parent office. As \nregards his seniority in the office to which he is transferred, it should be determined in \nthe following manner:- \n(a) \nWhen it is open to the person concerned to accept or refuse an offer of \nappointment in another office, he should count his seniority in the new \noffice from the date of his transfer to that office. \n(b) \nWhen a person is compulsorily transferred to another office as a result of \nconscription, or alongwith the post and his work, he should be allowed to \ncount his previous continuous service in the grade towards seniority in that \ngrade in the new office. \n \nIt may be pointed out that separate seniority lists should be prepared in respect \nof (i) persons appointed on a permanent or a quasi-permanent basis; and (ii) persons \nappointed on a purely temporary basis, and the person obtained by transfer from another \noffice should be assigned his appropriate place, in accordance with the above \ninstructions, in the list of the persons to which category he belongs. \n \n(ii) The seniority of a person, who went on deputation from one office to another \nbefore 31st March, 1951, should be determined in his new office, in accordance with the \nfollowing instructions:- \n(a) \nIn order to get the benefit of continuous service in a *grade, a deputationist \nbe permanent in that *grade in his parent office, and not merely eligible \nfor being made permanent. In case, however, he is subsequently made \npermanent in a *grade in his parent office from a retrospective date, his \n \n(Late Govt. of India Finance Department Endst. No. F.27(1)-EX-I/36, dated the 20th February, \n1936 and Home Department No. F. 52/36, dated the 6th February, 1936). \n \nThe Ministry of Finance has had under consideration the question of operation of the 'next below \nrule' in the offices of the Government of Pakistan. The \"next below rule\" was a temporary expedient designed to \nprotect government servants from monetary loss and in effect meant the temporary upgrading of posts. It was \noriginally intended that the expediency should not last more than six months in individual cases. Whatever may \nhave been the held advantage in the past to leave a man undisturbed in the post by him if the exigencies of the \npublic service required it, the need for such, considerations does not exist at present. It is the considered opinion \nof this Ministry that the concessions of the 'next below rule' should not be permitted except in very exceptional \ncircumstances and that too for very short periods. It has been decided, therefore, that the cases wherein the \nbenefit of the ‗next below rule‘ has been conceded should be reviewed forthwith. The Ministry of Interior/etc. \nshould take steps either to obtain the approval of this Ministry for the continuance of that benefit or to revert the \ngovernment servant concerned to his parent office. \n(Ministry of Finance O.M.

(ME), dated the 21st November, 1949. If, however, he is \nappointed in the borrowing Ministry/Department against a temporary post, \nhe will take seniority with effect from the date he is appointed against a \nregular post, and all persons in the borrowing Ministry who are permanent \nin that *grade, or have been appointed according to the prescribed roster \non the date of the deputationists temporary appointment, will take \nseniority over him. \n \n7. \nTransfers as a result of conscription.– The interests of the person \ntransferred compulsorily to another office as a result of conscription should be adequately \nprotected in his parent office as stated in paragraph 5 above. In addition, when his turn \nfor promotion to a higher *grade comes in his parent office, he should be appointed to the \npost actually and be allowed the financial benefit of the ―next below rule‖. \n \n8. \nTransfers alongwith posts.– As regards persons who are transferred to \nanother office alongwith their posts, the question of the protection of their interest in their \nparent office will not arise, since they will be transferred on a permanent basis and will \nthus sever their connections with the previous office. \n \n9. \nProtection of interests of temporary persons.– The above instructions \napply to persons who hold permanent posts in their parent offices. As regards persons \nemployed on a temporary basis, there is no question of the protection of their interests in \ntheir previous office, since, on transfer to another office, they will automatically cease to \nbe members of their previous office. If, however, an occasion arises in which a \ntemporary person is compulsorily transferred to another office as a result of conscription, \nthe question regarding the protection of his interests in his original office should be \ndecided in consultation with the Establishment Division. \n \n10.

If a case arises in \nwhich a person holding a permanent appointment in the regular cadre is appointed \ntemporarily to a post in the ―excluded cadre‖, in view of his special or technical \nqualifications, his case should be considered as one of transfer to another office, and \nshould be dealt with in the light of the instructions contained in the foregoing paragraphs. \n \n* BPS/post. \n Note w.r.t para 5 Sl.No.8.12. \n\n Page - 570 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n \n11.

No. 6/39/57-ME, dated 5-2-1958]. \n \n9.1 \nGrant of Deputation Allowance \n \nThe term ―deputation‖ has not been defined in the Civil Servants Act, 1973 and \nthe rules made thereunder. However, in its judgement (PLD 1981 SC 531), the Supreme \nCourt of Pakistan has enunciated the following explanation of the term deputation: \n―According to the practice in vogue a Government servant begins to be regarded \nas a ‗deputationist‘ when he is appointed or transferred, through the process of \nselection to a post in a department or service altogether different from the one to \nwhich he permanently belongs. He continues to be placed in this category so \nlong as he holds the new post in an officiating or a temporary capacity but \nceases to be regarded as such either on confirmation in the new post or on \nreversion to his substantive post.‖ \n \n2. \nOn the basis of the above cited explanation, appointment of a civil servant \nof the Federal Government, other than an officer of the *APUG, to a post in the \nProvincial Government would fall within the definition of deputation. \n \n3. \nFor the purpose of entitlement of deputation allowance, however, the \nabove cited explanation of the term deputation is not relevant because deputation \nallowance sanctioned in Establishment Division O.M. No. 1/13/87-R.I, dated 3rd \nDecember, 1990 is admissible only on ―deputation of civil servants to foreign service in \nPakistan‖. The term ―foreign service in Pakistan‖ has been defined in Rule 9(7) of the \nFundamental and Supplementary Rules. According to these rules a government servant is \nconsidered to be on deputation to foreign service in Pakistan when he receives his pay \nfrom outside the general revenues of the Federation, or a Province or Railways fund. This \nmeans that deputation allowance is not admissible if a person is on deputation to a \ndepartment of Federal or Provincial Government even outside the normal line of his \nservice because he continues to receive his salary during such deputation from the \ngeneral revenues of the Federation or a Province. Deputation allowance is thus \nadmissible only in cases of `deputation to foreign service in Pakistan‘ as defined in \nFR.9(7) and it is not admissible in cases of deputation to Ministries/ Divisions, Attached \nDepartments or Subordinate Offices of Federal Government or Provincial Government or \nRailways. \n \n* All Pakistan Services (Change in Nomenclature) Rules, 1973, notified vide SRO 1307(I)/73 dated 14-09-\n1973, have been repealed vide SRO 89(I)/2014 dated 14-02-2014, whereby all notifications and instructions \nissued on the subject from time to time were mutatis mutandis amended. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 571 \n \n \n \n4. \nIt is requested that the Finance Division may kindly tender their advice on \nthe point raised at para 2 above. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. Dy.875/98-DS(E.I), dated 2-4-1999]. \n \n9.2 \nClarification About Deputation Allowance \n \nReference Establishment Division‘s O.M. No.Dy.875/98-DS(E.I), dated \n2.4.1999 on the subject noted above. In accordance with the existing policy instructions \nissued by the Establishment Division vide O.M. No.1/13/87-R.I, dated 03.12.1990, \ndeputation allowance is strictly allowed to all government servants including Provincial \nGovernments who are deputed under the standard terms of deputation in light of Circular \nquoted above. It is also confirmed that term ―a foreign service in Pakistan‖, has been \ncovered in rule 9(7) of the Fundamental and Supplementary Rules. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, clarified that a government servant is considered to be on \ndeputation to foreign service in Pakistan when he receives his pay from outside the \ngeneral revenues of the federation or a province or railway funds. Subsequently, \ndeputation allowance would not be admissible to a person on deputation to a department \nof Federal or Provincial Government even outside the normal line of his service because \nhe continues to receive his salary during such deputation from the general revenue of \nfederation or a province. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M. No. F.12(1) R.3/99-386, dated 13-5-1999]. \n9.3 \nBar Against the Use of the Term \n―Deputation Allowance‖ \n \nIt has been brought to notice that Ministries and Divisions frequently sanction \n―deputation allowance‖ for government servants without specifying the reason for the \nallowance. \n \n2. \nAt the outset, it may be stated that the term ―deputation allowance‖ has not \nbeen used in the F.Rs and under those rules special duty or ―deputation within Pakistan‖ \nis not recognized vide Audit instruction below F.R. 40. Such cases are correctly described \nas cases of temporary transfer. The use of the term ―deputation allowance‖ to denote an \naddition to pay or an allowance granted to a government servant on his transfer from one \ndepartment to another is technically incorrect and not recognized under the FRs. The \nposition under these rules is that: \n(1) \nif on transfer from one department to another a government servant is \nappointed to a post for which pay and allowances have already been fixed \nhe should, ordinarily, draw the pay and allowances attached to that post; \n(2) \nif he is transferred for temporary duty against a temporary post created for \nhim, the pay of the post has to be fixed in accordance with the principles \nlaid down in F.R. 40 and the government orders below that rule; \n(3) \nif it is not considered necessary to fix the pay of the post, the officer who \nis placed on temporary duty draws his own pay but if the duty involves the \nconsideration mentioned in F.R. 9(25), a suitable special pay is sanctioned \nto him; \n\n Page - 572 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n(4) \nif, however, the transfer does not attract the provisions of F.R. 9(25), but \nthe grant of a compensatory allowance is justified e.g., where an officer \nhas to incur extra expenditure due, for instance, to the expensiveness or \nremoteness of the locality to which he is transferred a suitable \ncompensatory allowance is granted. \n \nThe classification of the additional remuneration, in either of the last two cases \nwould depend on the reasons for which it is sanctioned. \n \n3. \nThe position stated above may be kept in view while sanctioning additions \nto emoluments on transfer of government servants. The terminology used in the sanctions \nshould be strictly in accordance with the terms recognized under the FRs and the reasons \nfor which additions to emoluments are sanctioned should invariably be specified in the \nsanction letter. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.No.F.3 (31)-R-II(I)/58, dated 15-8-1958]. \n \n10.1 \nRight of Reversion to Temporary Government Servants \n \nWhen the right of reversion is given to a temporary person, his case becomes \nanalogous to that of a regular deputationist to some other office. Para 9 of the Office \nMemorandum, dated the 31st March, 1951 states the normal position in respect of \ntemporary staff. If, however, the employing Ministry give the right of reversion to a \ntemporary employee at their discretion, there is nothing wrong in it. The spirit behind the \ninstructions contained in the Office Memorandum, dated the 31st March, 1951 was the \nprotection of interests of deputationists to other offices while they are away. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s U.O. Note No. 6/17/58-ME, dated 4-8-1958]. \n10.2 \nReversion of Probationers Undergoing \nTraining at the Civil Services Academy \nto Their Former Post \n \nIt has been decided that a probationer who holds lien against his former post \nwhere he was appointed otherwise than through Competitive Examination held by the \nFederal Public Service Commission, will be allowed to revert to that former post within \n30 days of the commencement of common training programme at the Civil Services \nAcademy. Such a probationer will not be allowed to revert in any case after the expiry of \nthat period. \n \n2. \nIt is requested that the above decision may appropriately be incorporated \nin the offer of appointment in future. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.1/17/87-T.V. dated 19-2-1987]. \n \n10.3 \nReversion of Deputationists \n \nCases have come to the notice of the Establishment Division where officers \nwhose services were obtained on deputation for a specific period were not returned by the \nborrowing department when the parent department asked for their reversion. Attention in \nthis regard is invited to the Establishment Division‘s O.M. No. 1(28)/71-D. II, dated the \n28th March, 1972 (Annex I), wherein it was laid down that officers obtained on \ndeputation should be reverted to their parent department on the expiry of the period of \ndeputation. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 573 \n \n \n \n2. \nIn the interest of efficient administration, it is reiterated that the above \nmentioned instructions should be followed rigidly and the deputationists reverted to their \nparent department on the expiry of the period of deputation unless the intention is to \npermanently absorb the deputationist in the cadre or department where he is serving on \ndeputation and the recruitment rules for the post provide for such a course. In such cases, \nthe consent of the deputationist to the suspension or termination of lien on his permanent \npost in the parent department, as well as the agreement of the parent department, should \nbe obtained. With the completion of these formalities, the deputationist will be treated as \nregular member of the establishment of the borrowing department. \n \n3. \nWhere, however, it is not intended to permanently absorb the deputationist \nin the borrowing department, the deputationist must not be allowed to remain away from \nhis parent cadre for unduly protracted period; he should be reverted to the parent \ndepartment on expiry of the period of deputation as originally fixed. If the borrowing \ndepartment needs the services of another officer having the qualifications or experience \npossessed by the deputationist, a request should be made to the lending department to \ndepute some other officer in his place possessing the same qualifications or experience as \nfar as possible. The borrowing department in no case should insist on retaining a \nparticular individual beyond the original period of deputation. \n \n4. \nAll Ministries, Divisions and Departments are requested to examine the \ncases of deputationists with them and take necessary action in the light of the above \ninstructions. If relaxation of these orders is required in any individual case, it may be \nreferred to Establishment Division with full justification. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 1(28)/75-D.II, dated 6-3-1975]. \n(ANNEX I) \n(See Sl. No. 10.3) \n[Copy of Establishment Division O.M. No. 1(28)/71-D. II, dated the 28th March, 1972]. \n \nThe question has been raised whether the instructions issued in the \nEstablishment Division O.M. No.1/23/71-D.II, dated 29th July, 1971 (Annex II) \nregarding proforma promotion apply also to past cases where proforma promotions had \nalready been made prior to the issue of these instructions. The Ministries and Divisions \nare advised to review all such cases. If the officer had been allowed to proceed on \ndeputation for a specific period, he should be required to revert to the parent department \non expiry of that period. In case no period was specified, the parent department should \nexamine the propriety of recalling the officer to the parent cadre as it is not \nadministratively desirable that officers and staff should remain away from their parent \ncadre for unduly long period, say, more than 3 years in the case of gazetted officers and 5 \nyears in the case of non-gazetted staff. However, if in the case of a particular department \nthe number involved is large, the recall of the deputationists should be judiciously \nstaggered so that no large scale reversions are caused in the parent office consequent on \nthe recall of the deputationists. Priority in recall should be given to those who have been \nallowed proforma promotion in the parent cadre. Where, however, the borrowing \ndepartments are prepared to confirm such officers and staff on their own establishment \n(provided this is admissible in accordance with the recruitment rules applicable to the \n\n Page - 574 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \npost) and the officer or staff is also willing to be so absorbed, reversion to parent cadre \nmay not be insisted upon. \n(ANNEX II) \n(See Sl. No. 10.3) \n[Copy of Establishment Division O.M. No. 1/28/71-D.II, dated the 29th July, 1971]. \n \nThe Ministries and Divisions, as well as Attached Departments and Subordinate \nOffices, have, in the past, been ordering proforma promotions (also called promotions in \nabsentia) of persons serving on deputation on foreign service, or in ex-cadre posts, as a \nmatter of course on the sole ground that the deputationists had been approved for \npromotion by the D.P.C. of the parent department and a person junior to him had been \npromoted. This has resulted in the deputationists serving away from their parent \ndepartment or cadre for unduly long periods as such persons not only enjoy better \nemoluments while on deputation but also feel secure that their interests are being fully \nprotected in their own departments. \n \n2. \nThe intention underlying proforma promotions is to protect the interests of \nthe government servant only in circumstances where the government servant is required \nto serve away from his parent cadre because of a definite requirement of public interest \nand not merely to suit his own interests. Normally, therefore, a deputationist, as soon as \nhe becomes due for promotion, should be required to revert to his parent department or \ncadre so that he is promoted to the next higher post for which he may have been declared \nfit. In case an offer of promotion is made to him and he declines to revert, he may be \nallowed to remain in the outside post on the clear understanding that he will not ask for \nproforma promotion. Only in exceptional cases where the borrowing department or \norganization expresses its inability to spare the officer, and the head of the parent \ndepartment records, in writing, why he considers it necessary to keep the government \nservant on deputation in the ex-cadre appointment, may proforma promotions be made. \nEven in such cases the period for which the officer is allowed to continue to remain on \ndeputation, with the benefit of proforma promotion, should be judiciously fixed so that \nthe officer reverts to his cadre and is appointed to the post for which he has been \napproved for promotion, as early as possible. Such period should not normally exceed 6 \nmonths. All cases, where proforma promotions are allowed for a period exceeding 6 \nmonths, should be reported to the Establishment Division with full justification. \n \n3. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are also advised that in future whenever they \nsend an officer or member of the staff on deputation to an ex-cadre post, or on foreign \nservice, they should settle in advance the period of deputation with the borrowing \noffice/organization on the expiry of which the government servant should revert to his \nparent cadre. While selecting persons for deputation, care should also be taken not to \ndepute officers who would soon be coming up for promotion to the next rank in their own \ncadre and may have to be re-called. In the majority of cases, officers and staff are sent on \ndeputation on their application or request. They should be warned that in case they fall \ndue for promotion, they will have to revert to their parent cadre and they will not be \nallowed promotions in absentia. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 575 \n \n \n \n4. \nThe above instructions do not apply to senior appointments in \ninternational organizations such as the United Nations, the R.C.D. Secretariat, etc. to \nwhich officers are nominated by government having regard to their qualifications, \nexperience and suitability. In such cases it may be presumed that the services of the \nofficer have been placed on deputation with the foreign organization in the public \ninterest, and proforma promotion, when called for, may be made. \n10.4 \nLien of Government Servants – \nObjective and Administrative \nImplications \n \nF.R. 14-A(b) provides that the lien suspended under F.R. 14 (a) (2) cannot be \nterminated while the government servant remains in government service except on his \nwritten request. The effect of this provision is that in a case where a government servant \nis appointed in a substantive capacity to a permanent post outside the cadre on which he \nis borne, he can retain his suspended lien in his parent cadre for the entire period of his \nservice under the government, vide Government decision below F.R. 14-A. It is possible \nthat the exercise of this right will result in certain administrative difficulties in some \ncases. \n \n2. \nThese rules have been framed with a view to safeguarding the legitimate \nrights of government servants. It is not contemplated that their provisions should be so \nexploited as to cause administrative inconvenience to government. In a case, therefore, \nwhere the competent administrative authority feels that the retention of a suspended lien, \non the post by a government servant after his appointment in a substantive capacity to an \nex-cadre post for an indefinite period thereafter if the consent required for its termination \nunder F.R. 14-A(b) is not given, is likely to cause administrative inconvenience, it is open \nto that authority not to allow, as a purely administrative measure, the making of the \nsubstantive appointment on the ex-cadre post. This is fully permissible and is not \nconnected with the provisions of these rules. The Ministries and Divisions etc., may \nkindly note this for guidance and issue suitable instructions to the administrative \nauthorities subordinate to them, emphasizing the necessity of having this point considered \nbefore substantive appointments in ex-cadre posts of government servants holding liens \nor suspended liens in the cadres administered by them are allowed. In this connection \nattention is invited to the Ministry of Finance endorsement No. 600-RIII/52, dated the 6th \nMarch, 1952 according to which borrowing departments etc., are required to consult the \nlending departments before confirming lent officers in the posts under the former‘s \ncontrol. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.

It is requested that when an officer \nis confirmed in the borrowing government or department, prior formal concurrence of the \nlending government or department as well as the consent of the officer concerned should \nbe obtained. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s letter No. 600-RIII/52, dated 6-3-1952]. \n \n10.6 \nConfirmation of Deputationists \nby Borrowing Offices \n \nThere are a number of government servants who are substantive holders of \npermanent posts in one office but are on deputation to another. It has been brought to the \nnotice of the Establishment Division that sometimes when such a government servant, \nduring the course of his service in the borrowing office, is confirmed, the parent office is \nnot informed. As this practice causes administrative inconvenience to the parent office, it \nshould be avoided. As laid down in the Ministry of Finance letter No. 600-RIII/52, dated \nthe 6th March, 1952 permanent officers belonging to a government or department, while \non deputation to another government or department, should not be confirmed in the latter \nwithout the prior formal concurrence of the former and the consent of the officer \nconcerned. Once such confirmation is decided upon, after taking also into consideration \nthe point emphasized in the Establishment Division O.M. No. 8/36/59-E.XII, dated the \n13th March, 1961, a copy of the resultant confirmation orders should be endorsed to the \nlending government or department. \n \n2. \nShould such a government servant continue to serve the borrowing \ngovernment or department till the time of his retirement from service, information to the \neffect that he is being retired should be furnished to the lending government or \ndepartment, unless the lien of the government servant in his parent cadre had been \nterminated at the time of his confirmation in the ex-cadre post, as visualized in the \nEstablishment Division Office Memorandum, dated the 13th March, 1961 referred to in \nthe preceding paragraph. \n[Authority.- Estt.

This \npractice is not in order and violates the instructions contained in this Division Office \nMemorandum No. 3/7/68-C.III, dated 7-2-1970 and 23-10-1971 Ministries/Divisions are \nrequested kindly to adhere strictly to the instructions under reference. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 11/11/73-C.III(B), dated 2-4-1973]. \n \n11.2 \nDeputation of Section Officers \nAgainst Other Posts \n \nA reference is invited to the Establishment Division O.M. No. 3/7/68-C.III, \ndated the 7th February, 1970 (Annex) on the above subject. It is stated that it has been \ndecided that all applications of Section Officers for deputation to ex-cadre posts under the \nGovernment or Semi-Government Organizations will be in the first instance, scrutinised \nand examined by a Committee consisting of the Joint Secretary and Deputy Secretary of \nthe Establishment Division and a representative of, at least Deputy Secretary‘s level of \nthe Ministry/Division under whose administrative control the ex-cadre posts in question \nbelong. \n \n2. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are accordingly requested to forward all \napplications received from Section Officers for appointment to any ex-cadre posts to the \nEstablishment Division at least one month before the last date prescribed for the receipt \nof such applications by the authority concerned. While forwarding any application to the \nEstablishment Division, the Ministry/ Division concerned should certify that the \ncandidate possesses the requisite qualifications and experience prescribed for the post and \nthat they will have no objection to release him if he is selected for the appointment. \n \n3. \nIn cases where the Section Officers are to be considered alongwith officers \nbelonging to other services the recruiting agency should invariably forward a copy of the \nnotification to the Establishment Division for reference. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.3/7/68-C.III(B), dated 23-10-1971]. \n(ANNEX) \n \n[Copy of Establishment Division‘s O.M.

III, dated the 14th February, \n1968, that deputation of CSS officers to autonomous bodies, attached/subordinate \noffices should be encouraged to give them field experience. Pursuant to that decision, \nMinistries/Divisions have been deputing officers to other organizations but apparently in \na haphazard manner. The following guidelines are, therefore, laid down for observance \nby all concerned:- \n(a) \nWhile framing recruitment rules for the posts in government and \nautonomous organizations for which the services of Section Officers can \nbe gainfully utilized, the question of making them eligible for such \nappointments may be considered by the administrative Ministries/ \n \n Central Secretariat Service (CSS), now Office Management Group (OMG), \n\n Page - 578 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \nDivisions concerned in consultation with the Regulations Wing of the \nEstablishment Division and the Central Public Service Commission, \nwhere necessary. \n(b) \nWhere recruitment rules have already been framed, the question of \nrevising them with a view to making a provision as proposed at (a) above, \nmay be considered by the Ministries/Divisions concerned. \n(c) \nWhere Section Officers are to be considered alongwith officers belonging \nto other services, then applications may be invited by the recruiting \nagency. Such applications from Section Officers will invariably be routed \nthrough the Establishment Division vide their O.M. No. 1/8/62-C. III, \ndated the 14th May, 1966. \n(d) \nFor the posts against which only Section Officers are to be considered for \nappointment, the Ministries/Divisions concerned may place their \nrequirements with the Establishment Division indicating:- \n(i) \nEducational qualifications and experience prescribed for the post. \n(ii) \nPay Scale etc. prescribed for it. \n(iii) Nature of the duties attached to it. \n(iv) Method of selection. \n(v) \nAny other special points required to be kept in view while making \nselection. \n(e) \nNo Section Officer will be allowed to stay away on deputation for more \nthan five years. \n \n11.3 \nGazetted and Non-Gazetted \nTechnical Services \n \nA question has been raised whether the instructions contained in the \nEstablishment Division O.M. No. 6/15/48-ME, dated the 30th January, 1953 are \napplicable to Gazetted and non-Gazetted technical services also. The matter has been \nconsidered in the Establishment Division, and it has been decided that there should be no \nobjection to the cases of officials of the gazetted and non-gazetted technical services \nbeing decided in accordance with these instructions provided that the procedure laid \ndown in Para 11 of the Establishment Division O.M. No. 6/15/48-ME, dated the 31st \nMarch, 1951 is observed in each case. \n \n2. \nThese instructions will take effect from 1st January, 1961. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 11/6/60-E, XI, dated 18-1-1961]. \n \n12.1 Deputationists from Provincial Governments \n \nThe question has been raised whether, with the substitution of efficiency \nhonorarium for advance increments, it is still necessary for the Ministries/Divisions to \nobtain the consent of the lending Provincial Governments before recommending \n \n Federal. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 579 \n \n \ndeputationists for the grant of efficiency honorarium. After a careful consideration of the \nfinancial aspect of the matter, it has been decided that it will not be necessary for the \nMinistries/Divisions to obtain the consent of the lending Provincial Governments before \nrecommending deputationists for the grant of efficiency honorarium provided the \nrecommendations are not based on the recommendees‘ good performance under the \nProvincial Governments. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 5/l/63-CV/LR.II, dated 13-3-1965]. \n \n12.2 \nChange in Terms and Conditions \nof Deputationists \n \nA case has recently come to the notice of the Establishment Division in which a \nBPS 5 employee of a Provincial Government on deputation to the Federal Government \nwas promoted to a BPS-16 post and subsequently to a BPS 17 post while on deputation, \nwithout consultation with the Provincial Government concerned. This has created an \nawkward situation for the Provincial Government in the matter of fixation of pay, grant \nof pension, etc. to the employee concerned on repatriation from deputation. \n \n2. \nIt may be recalled that a government servant on deputation continues to be \nunder the rule-making control of the lending government and is governed by the rules of \nthe lending government in matters of pay, leave, pension, etc. The lending government \naccordingly have a right to determine, in consultation with the borrowing government, \nthe terms of his employment under the latter and these terms should not be varied by the \nborrowing government without consulting the lending government. \n \n3. \nIn view of the position explained above, it is brought to the notice of all \nthe Ministries/Divisions etc. that no increase in pay or improvement in other service \nprospects should be allowed to any employee on deputation without consulting the \nlending government or department and without the approval of the Establishment \nDivision. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.1/4/86-R.I. dated 3-4-1986]. \n12.3 \nRuling Regarding Employees from Provinces/ \nAuthority on Deputation to Federation \n \nUnder clause (2) of section 1 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, that Act applies \nonly to civil servants. Under sub-clause (i) clause (b) of section 2 of that Act persons \nwho are on deputation to the Federation from any Province or other authority have been \nexcluded from the definition of ―civil servant‖. Therefore the Act or the Rules made \nthereunder are not applicable to such persons.

The lending government \naccordingly has a right to determine in consultation with the borrowing government, the \nterms of his employment under the latter, and these terms should not be varied by the \nborrowing government without consulting the lending government. \n \n2. \nA convention has been established between the Federal Government and \nthe Provincial Governments on the one hand, and the Provincial Governments inter-se, on \nthe other to the effect that no increase in pay or improvements in other service prospects \nshould be offered to any such officer without consulting the lending government or \ndepartment. \n[Authority.- Ministry of Finance letter No.F.10(23)-E.G.II/48, dated 9-12-1948 and 10-6-1949]. \n12.5 \nAppointment of Provincial Government Employees Against \nBPS 17 and Above Posts Under the Federal Government \n \nA question has arisen whether appointment to posts in BPS 17 and above under \nthe Federal Government by appointment through deputation of officers of Provincial \nGovernments are required to be approved by the competent authority in the Federal \nGovernment and if so under which legal-provision. \n \n2. \n According to section 5 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 appointment to \ncivil posts in connection with the affairs of the Federation are made by the President or \nby an officer authorised by him in this behalf. Under Rule 6 of the Civil Servants \n(Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973 made under the above mentioned \nAct, 1973 the appointing authority for the posts in BPS 17 and above is the Prime \nMinister. Therefore, according to section 5 of the Act read with Rule 6, the approval of \nthe Prime Minister is necessary for appointment to posts under the Federal Government, \nbut a doubt has arisen in the case of appointment of officers belonging to Provincial \nGovernments to posts under the Federal Government. The Civil Servants Act, 1973 is \napplicable to civil servants vide sub-section (2) of Section 1 of the Act. According to \ndefinition of ―civil servant‖ given in section 2 of the Act, a person who is on deputation \nto the Federation from any Province is not a ―civil servant‖. The Civil Servants Act, \n1973 does not, therefore, apply to cases of officers of Provincial Governments who are \nappointed by deputation to posts under the Federal Government. If this view is correct, \nthe next question which arises is whether Article 241 of the Constitution would be \nattracted in such cases. Our view is that since no act has been made by the Legislature in \nrespect of the officers belonging to Provincial Governments who may be appointed by \ndeputation to posts under the Federal Government, the rules and orders which were \nenforced immediately before the coming into force of the Constitution, will continue to \nbe applicable to such cases. This will mean that approval of the competent authority as \nrequired under the Rules of Business, 1973 which were applicable before coming into \nforce of the Constitution should be obtained in such cases. Under these rules, the \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 581 \n \n \napproval of the President was necessary to first appointment to Class I posts under the \nFederal Government. The President, in the present context means the Prime Minister. \nThe approval of the Prime Minister, or of the persons authorized by him in this behalf, \nshould therefore, be obtained before making appointments of officers of the Provincial \nGovernments to posts connected with the affairs of the Federation. In other words, if the \nCivil Servants Act, 1973 is not applicable to deputationists from the Provincial \nGovernments, we are not left in void. The law provides for the continuance in force of \nall previous rules and orders where the Civil Servants Act, 1973 is not applicable. \n \n3. \nThe Law Division is requested for advice on the views of the \nEstablishment Division. \n[Authority.- Estt.

It has also come to notice that the corporations and autonomous bodies \nnegotiate directly with officers serving in other departments and Ministries and ask for \ntheir release for posting with them. This procedure is neither regular nor proper. The \nposts generally carry additional benefits like special pay, deputation allowances etc. It is, \ntherefore, not fair to confine selection to one or two names which a Ministry/Division \nmay specify. Other officers with requisite qualification and experience with equal, if not \nbetter, record of service and senior to those asked for are not considered simply because \nthey do not happen to be known to senior officers in the Ministry or Corporation wanting \nsuch officers. \n \n2. \nThe Establishment Division will not now entertain requests for particular \nofficers. This Division will be constrained to take disciplinary action against a \ngovernment servant, if it is established that he has secured offer through influence or \npressure. It is, therefore, requested that all Ministries and Divisions should communicate \ntheir requirements to the Establishment Division specifying the qualifications and \nexperience etc. required for the incumbent of a post. The selection of a suitable officer \nwill be made by the Establishment Division from amongst all those government servants \nwho answer the required qualification and experience etc. In making the selection, the \nEstablishment Division will continue to consult the referring Ministry. If there are any \nspecial considerations for which the services of a particular officer are required, such \nrequests should come at the level of Secretary or Additional Secretary Incharge of \nDivision and it should be clearly explained why a particular officer is being asked for. \n \n3. \nSo far as corporations are concerned, the Establishment Division propose \nto prepare panels of officers of various occupational groups in different grades whose \nservices may be lent to the corporations. All future postings to corporations will be made \nout of these panels. Appointment will be made for a period of at least two years during \nwhich the officer will not be eligible for consideration for promotion in his parent \ndepartment. Officers within the zone of promotion will not, as far as possible, be \nincluded in the panels with a view to obviating the possibility of dislocation in the work \nof the corporation in the event of their recall on promotion by the Ministry concerned. \n[Authority.- Estt.

This resulted in \nwasteful utilization of government officers, embarrassment to the officers and difficulties \nin fixing their emoluments. \n \n2. \nIt has, therefore, been decided to request the Ministries/ Divisions that \nthey should not henceforth depute any of their officers to a post which is lower in \nemoluments and responsibility than the one he is holding in his parent office. \n[Authority.-Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 3/5/ 68-A.III, dated 19-3-1968]. \n \n14.1 Benefit of Promotion in Parent Cadre while in Foreign Service \n \nIt appears that the position regarding promotion, in their parent cadres, of \ngovernment servants transferred to ‗foreign service‘ [as defined in Fundamental Rule 9(7)], \nand the benefit occurring to them from such promotion is not clear in some quarters. \n \n2. \nCases of promotion, in their parent cadres, of government servants who are \ntransferred to foreign service and the emoluments admissible to them are regulated by the \nprovisions of Fundamental Rules 113 and 114 which fall in Chapter XII of Section I of the \nFundamental and Supplementary Rules, Vol. I, and not by the proviso to the `next below \nrule‘ i.e., the second proviso below F.R. 30 which falls in Chapter IV of those Rules and \napplies in cases of government servants serving outside their ordinary line within \ngovernment service. \n \n3. \nAccording to F.R. 113, a government servant transferred to foreign service \nremains in the cadre in which he was included in a substantive or officiating capacity \nimmediately before his transfer and may be given such substantive or officiating promotion \nin those cadres as the authority competent to order promotion may decide, keeping in view \nthe considerations mentioned in that rule. According to F. R. 114, read with orders issued \nthereunder, which have been printed in Appendix No. II to the Fundamental and \nSupplementary Rules, Vol. II, a government servant transferred to `foreign service‘ in \nPakistan shall, unless his duties in foreign service involve a decided increase in work or \nresponsibility in comparison with duties of his post in government service, be allowed the \nsame remunerations as he would have received from time to time in government service but \nfor his transfer to foreign service. It follows from these orders that if a government servant \nwho is on deputation to foreign service is promoted in his parent cadre, he should, if he \ncontinues to remain in foreign service, be allowed the remuneration which he would have \nreceived in the higher post in government service to which he is promoted. The higher \nremuneration would, of course, be payable by the foreign employer. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.

In flagrant violation of rules/instructions, government \nservants on deputation to autonomous bodies etc. have been allowed the services of \nPeons/Orderlies exclusively for residence, Chowkidar and servants at the residence and \ntransport exclusively for the deputationist without the knowledge and sanction of \ncompetent authority. Government have taken serious note of such irregularities. With a \nview to ensuring financial discipline, the Provincial Governments and the autonomous \nbodies are requested to discontinue, forthwith, such unauthorized concessions being \nenjoyed by the government servants on deputation. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.

The existing rates are contained in Appendix 11-A, FRs and SRs Vol. \nII. The question regarding revision of the rates and mode of recovery etc., of leave salary \nand pension contributions has been engaging the attention of the government for some \ntime past. It has now been decided to prescribe a uniform rate of recovery of pension \ncontributions at 33.33% of the mean of minimum and maximum of the pay scale of the \n***grade held by the government servant concerned at the time of his proceeding on \nforeign service, plus other emoluments (reckonable for pension) which would have been \nadmissible to him had he not been deputed on foreign service. The above prescribed rate \nof pension contribution shall apply to all Federal Government employees whether on \ndeputation to foreign service within Pakistan or abroad. \n \n2. \nIn future, the pension contributions in all cases shall be payable by the \nforeign employers. However, in the case of government servants presently on deputation \nto foreign service@ within Pakistan or abroad, pension contributions shall be paid by the \nforeign employers or the government servants concerned, as the case may be, according \nto the agreed terms of deputation. \n \n3. \nAs regards leave salary contributions, it has been decided that no leave \nsalary contributions shall be recovered from foreign employers, but leave/leave salary \nshall be sanctioned/paid during the period of foreign service by the foreign employers. \nThe Federal Government employees sent on deputation to *foreign service who, under the \n \nNaib Qasid. \n Recovery of Leave Salary and Pension contributions may be made as per revised rates as amended from time \nto time. \n BPS. \n@ Deputation \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 585 \n \n \nrevised procedure, are granted leave and paid leave salary by the foreign employers, shall not \ncount the period spent on foreign service for earning leave under the Government of \nPakistan. \n \n4. \nThese orders shall take effect from 01-01-1982.

No. F. 5(5) Reg.7/79-1407, dated 15-12-1981]. \n \n15.2 \nProcedure for Recovery of Leave \nSalary and Pension Contributions \n \nAccording to the procedure laid down in Part VI of Appendix 3 of FRs and SRs, \nVol. II, a copy of the orders sanctioning a government servant‘s transfer to foreign \nservice should always be communicated to Audit and Accounts Officer concerned. The \nterms and conditions of foreign service and other detailed particulars regarding pay to be \ndrawn in foreign service are required to be furnished to the Audit and Accounts Officer \nso that the rates of monthly leave salary and pension contributions are intimated to \nforeign employer, the government servant concerned and his department. Any promotion \nor reversion in the parent department is also to be reported to the Audit and Accounts \nOfficer concerned. The contributions paid into the government account are accounted for \nby the Audit and Accounts Office and recoveries in individual cases are watched. \n \n2. \nIt has come to the notice of the Finance Division that in several cases the \norders of transfer of a government servant on foreign service do not reach the Audit and \nAccounts Office concerned or, if received, the terms and conditions and other particulars \nare not given therein. Consequently, the rates of monthly contribution cannot be \nintimated by the Audit and Accounts Office to the foreign employer and the government \nservant concerned, with the result that the contributions are not deposited promptly and \nregularly. There have been many cases in which the government servants completed \ntheir tenure of foreign service in Pakistan or abroad and returned to their parent \ndepartment without depositing the leave salary and pension contributions due to the \nreason that the Audit and Accounts Office concerned is not informed in time about \ntheir transfer on **foreign service. The required particulars are not furnished by the \ndepartment to the Audit and Accounts Office and consequently the latter are not in a \nposition to intimate the rates of monthly contributions resulting in their non-deposit. In \ncase of deputations abroad, loss of foreign exchange is suffered by government if the \npension contribution is payable by the government servant and he returns to Pakistan on \ncompletion of his tenure without depositing the contribution for the reason that the \namount was not intimated to him in due time. \n \n3. \nIn view of the position stated above, all Ministries/Divisions are requested \nto ensure that in future all sanctions regarding the deputation on foreign service are \ninvariably addressed to the Accounts Offices concerned. While sanctioning the transfer of \na government servant on foreign service, the monthly rates of leave salary and pension \ncontribution should be invariably indicated in the sanction. The rates so indicated by the \ndepartments concerned may be provisionally adopted for depositing the contributions \npromptly and regularly every month till the final rates are intimated by the Audit and \n \nNote.-Under the latest orders no leave-salary contributions are recoverable from the foreign employer/ \ngovernment servant. \n** Deputation. \n\n Page - 586 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \nAccounts Offices on receipt of which the excesses/deficiencies, if any, can be adjusted. \nThe Audit and Accounts Officers will check the accuracy of the rates and watch the \nrecoveries of the contributions and their proper accounting in the government accounts. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.No.F.5(5) Reg.7/77-1082-(2), dated 28-2-1980]. \n15.3 \nRecoveries of Dues from Government \nServants in Foreign Exchange \n \nA reference is invited to the Finance Division O.M. No. F. 1(8) EF (B. \nII)/76-2720 dated the 14th July, 1976. It is stated that the question of recoveries from \ngovernment servants due in foreign exchange has been re-examined in consultation with \nthe Ministry of Law. The position is that the government is legally entitled to recover the \nexact amount in the currency in which the overpayment was made or the dues became \nrecoverable. It has, therefore, been decided that if the overpayment was made or dues \nbecame recoverable in a particular currency, the recoveries should be made in that \ncurrency or in equivalents of US dollars according to the rate of exchange between that \ncurrency and the US dollar on the date of recovery. If, for any reason, such as posting in \nPakistan on retirement, etc. recoveries cannot be effected in foreign exchange these can \nbe effected in Pakistani rupees. However, since permission to pay such dues in local \ncurrency is in fact permission to purchase foreign exchange for refund to government the \nrate of exchange applicable in such cases shall be the rate prevailing on the date on which \nsuch recoveries are actually effected. Finance Division‘s O.M. dated the 14th July, 1976 \nquoted above may please be deemed to have been modified accordingly with immediate \neffect. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.No.F.1(8)EF (B.II)/80-2689, dated 18-12-1980]. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 587 \n \n \nVIII. (B) TRANSFER TO FOREIGN SERVICE \n OUT OF PAKISTAN: DEPUTATION \n \n16.1 Receiving or Soliciting Direct Offers of Appointment \n \n \nfrom Private Firms/Organizations \n \nIt has been noticed that some government servants are directly receiving or \nsoliciting offers of appointment from private firms/organisations based in foreign \ncountries and are seeking government clearance for accepting such offers on deputation \nbasis. This practice, which is on the increase, is against Government Servants (Conduct) \nRules, 1964. It is obvious that in all cases of this nature, the government servants while \nstill in government service, had established contacts with the private firms/ organisations \noffering the appointment. This tendency has to be curbed because it is quite possible that \nthe firm/organization, offering the appointment to the government servant concerned, \nmay be doing so in consideration of some favour done to the firm by the government \nofficer concerned. It has, therefore, been decided that any government servant receiving \nsuch an offer of employment from a private firm/organisation abroad will not, in future, \nbe allowed to go on deputation. He will have to resign from government service before he \nis allowed to accept the appointment with a private firm/organisation based in a foreign \ncountry. \n \n2. \nThese instructions, however, do not affect the offers of appointments or \nsubmission of applications against vacancies announced by foreign governments or \ninternational agencies. The existing procedure prescribed in such cases will continue to \nbe observed and the relevant cases should be sent for approval to the Special Selection \nBoard in the prescribed manner. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Such government servants should submit \ncopies of their contract/ documents, duly authenticated, through the Pakistan Missions \nconcerned to their administrative Ministries so that their liens may be maintained and \nthey may now be required to return by the 30th June, 1978. \n \n2. \nIn this connection, attention of all concerned may be invited to \nFundamental Rule 18 which lays down that unless the President, in view of the special \ncircumstances of the case, shall otherwise determine, after 5 years continuous absence \nfrom duty, elsewhere than on foreign service in Pakistan, whether with or without leave, \na government servant ceases to be in government employ. It would therefore be in their \nown interest if the government servants who are serving abroad on their own with private \norganizations or on foreign service terms ensure that the period of 5 years continuous \nabsence from duty in Pakistan if not exceeded without proper government sanction. \n \n3. \nThe Ministries and Divisions are requested to review immediately the \ncases of the government servants under their administrative control who have been \ncontinuously absent from their duty owing to their employment with organizations \noutside Pakistan either on their own or on foreign service terms and take steps to ensure \nthat those who have completed 5 years period return immediately to their duty in Pakistan \nfailing which they shall cease to be in government employ under F.R. 18 except where \ntheir absence in excess of 5 years is covered by proper government sanction or where \nthey are bound by some terms of contract which should be produced by them.

It is stated that the period of deputation of non-\ndiplomatic officers posted in Pakistan Missions abroad should not be more than 3 years. \n \n2. \nAccording to the current practice, while deputation of these officers is \napproved by the Special Selection Board and the Prime Minister, the extensions in their \ndeputation period are being granted by the Ministries/Divisions concerned themselves. It \nhas, however, been noticed that a number of officers have been holding these posts for \nmore than 3 years and requests for extensions beyond their normal tenure are not \nuncommon. To maintain uniformity in granting extensions to the officers posted against \nPakistani posts abroad, it has been decided that extension for a period of one year may \ncontinue to be allowed by the Ministries/ Divisions in deserving cases. However, cases \ninvolving extension beyond one year should henceforth be put up to the Special Selection \nBoard for decision. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M.

They ask for extension on \nvarious grounds and sometimes put pressures for extending their tenure. The government \nhas taken a serious view of the prevailing situation and has decided that the \nMinistry/Division concerned will, in future, automatically move the case for recall of the \nofficer 6 months before completion of his normal tenure and submit a panel of names for \nconsideration of the Special Selection Board to enable the latter to select a suitable person to \nsucceed the officer already abroad. \n[Authority.- Estt.

It is \nobserved that the controlling Ministries/Divisions in disregard to the above instructions \ndo not process cases of recalling of /and or granting extension to officers on deputation to \nPakistan‘s positions abroad well in time resulting in inordinate delays and lapses. \nBesides, most of the cases of extension beyond one year are referred to the Special \nSelection Board (SSB) at the eleventh hour by the Ministry/Division concerned and they \nalso fail to select a substitute for the said post within the stipulated time. The Prime \nMinister has taken a serious view of such delays/negligence and it has therefore been \ndecided to direct the administrative/controlling Ministries/Divisions that the following \nstandard operating procedures with regard to recalling of and or granting extension to \nofficers on deputation to Pakistan‘s position abroad shall be strictly observed to avoid \nsuch failures in future:— \ni. \nThe normal tenure of posting in Pakistan Missions abroad deputation \nagainst permanent seats of Pakistan in International Organizations shall be \nthree years. \nii. \nNo Ministry should extend the period of deputation invariably all such \ncases where an extension in deputation is essential or required under any \nspecific circumstances should be referred to SSB at least 08 months before \nthe end of tenure. The SSB shall consider the request on merit and furnish \nits recommendations for orders of Prime Minister within 30 days. No \n\n Page - 596 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \nextension shall be allowed without Prime Minister‘s approval irrespective \nof pay scale of the deputationist. \niii. \nThe parent/administrative/controlling Ministry/Division shall both issue a \nrecall notice at least 06 months prior to the end of tenure and also start the \nprocess of selection of replacement. Failure to do either of the two things \nshall be considered a failure of the Secretary of the Ministry/Division \nconcerned. \niv. \nMedical reasons/study of children abroad should not be considered a \njustification for extension. \nv. \nThe parent Ministries/Divisions will remain vigilant regarding tenure and \nrecalling of their officers on deputation abroad. In case no reference for \nextension is received or the request of the controlling Ministry/Division for \nextension has not been consented, as the case may be, the parent \nMinistry/Division will issue a recall notice to the officer at least six months \nbefore expiry of the normal period of deputation. \nvi. \nSuch recall notices in respect of officers belonging to Pakistan \nAdministrative Service (PAS), Police Service of Pakistan (PSP), \nSecretariat Group and Office Management Group will be issued by the \nrespective wings of the Establishment Division holding administrative \ncontrol of these service groups/cadres at least six months before expiry of \nthe normal period of deputation. \n \n2. Failure to observe these procedures or non-compliance of the standing \ninstructions on the subject shall render the officers concerned of the Ministries/Divisions/ \nDepartments liable to disciplinary action under the Government Servants (Efficiency & \nDiscipline) Rules, 1973. \n \n3. \nMinistries/Divisions Provincial Governments are directed to bring the \nabove instructions to the notice of all concerned for strict compliance. \n[Authority:— Establishment Division‘s O.M.

After \nexpiry of the approved period of deputation, the deputationist is required to come back \nand resume duty in the country. \n \n2. \nWhile on deputation abroad, a civil servant was considered for promotion \nin accordance with his seniority position but actual promotion took place after he \nresumed duty on return to Pakistan. This enabled such civil servants to regain their \nseniority ‗vis-à-vis‘ their juniors on actual promotion. Experience has shown that despite \npromotion, these officers seldom return even on completion of their approved deputation \nperiod. By the time they return, many officers have lost their utility and experience \nrelevant to service needs. Promoting such officers immediately on return may not, \ntherefore, be in public interest. \n \n3. \nIt has, therefore, been decided with the approval of the President that:- \n\n Page - 598 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-6 \n \n \n \n(i) \nPromotion of a civil servant on deputation to an international agency, \nforeign government or private organization abroad will only be considered \nafter he resumes duty on return to Pakistan. \n \n(ii) \nSuch officers may be given timely intimation to return so that they can \nearn at least one annual confidential report before their cases come up for \nconsideration in accordance with their seniority position. \n \n(iii) If an officer returns, his case will be considered for promotion in the \nnormal course. If he does not return in response to such intimation, his \ncase will be deferred till he returns to Pakistan on completion of 5 years \nand earns a confidential report on his work for one full year after \nresuming duty. If approved for promotion, he will regain his original \nseniority. \n \n4. \nGovernment may allow an officer to continue against his assignment \nabroad even after the expiry of 5 years on the request of the officer or his employer. \nHowever, in all such cases, the officer‘s names will be removed from the existing \nSeniority List and placed on a separate Static list with no claim to promotion or to \nseniority over any junior who may be promoted during this period. An officer‘s name \nwould be brought back on the Seniority List only after he resumes duty on return. In \nsuch cases also, the officer must earn a **confidential report for one full year before he is \nconsidered for promotion. If approved for promotion he will not regain his seniority. He \nwill be assigned seniority in the higher post only from the date he assumes its charge. \n \n5. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are requested to bring the above instructions to \nthe notice of all civil servants already serving on deputation abroad and those allowed to \nproceed on deputation in future. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Div. OM No. 5/2/2001-T-TV, dated 28th January, 2002 on the \nabove subject. Finance Division is of the view that the deployment of police personnel in \nUN Missions cannot be considered as deputation to foreign service unless they pay these \npersonnel, the salary, allowances and other facilities. Deployment of personnel in UN \nMissions means that the person will go out of the cadre. The cadre means under FR 9(4) \nthe strength of a service or a part of a service sanctioned as a separate unit. According to \nFR 9(7), foreign service means the service in which the government servant receives his \nsubstantive pay with the sanction of the Government from any source other than the \nrevenue of the Governor General or of a province etc. ―If we consider these police \nofficials on foreign service, they cannot be paid salary and other facilities from the \nrevenues of the Government of Pakistan. Moreover, UN is allowing them subsistence \ngrant. When the subsistence grant is allowed to a government servant by a foreign \nmission, he cannot be paid the salary from revenues of Government of Pakistan. The \nprovision of FR-9(27) is as under: \n―Subsistence grant means a monthly grant made to a Government servant \nwho is not in receipt of pay or leave salary‖. \n \n2. \nIn view of this provision in the financial rules, the police officials sent to \nserve the UN Missions cannot claim or cannot be paid the salary from the revenues of \nGovernment of Pakistan, in this case the concerned Police Department. They can claim \npay from the Government of Pakistan or Police Department concerned when they serve \nunder the Government of Pakistan. The rule position has been clarified under FR-9(28) as \nunder: \n―The substantive pay means the pay other than special pay, personal pay \nor emoluments classed by pay by the Governor General under rule 9(21) \n(a) (iii) to which a Government servant is entitled on account of a post to \nwhich he has been appointed substantively or by reasons of his \nsubstantive position in a cadre‖. \n \nWhen a police personnel is serving in the UN Mission, he is not serving against \nhis substantive post or substantive post or substantive position in a cadre. He cannot be \npaid pay from the general revenue of Government of Pakistan. \n \n3. \nFrom the provisions of above rules, it is clear that police personnel sent to \nserve the UN Missions cannot claim pay from Government of Pakistan as they did not \nserve the Government of Pakistan as they did not serve the Government of Pakistan or in \ntheir cadre. Moreover, since they will be in receipt of subsistence grant or allowance they \ncannot be paid salary. Their period of duty in UN Mission will also not be counted for the \npurpose of pension unless they pay pension contribution. This period will also not count \nfor the maintenance of leave account. They are also required to contribute towards GP \nFund etc. However as a special compensation the government may allow the families of \nsuch police personnel to retain the government accommodation and medical facilities. \n \n President; Revenues of Government of Pakistan. \n\n CHAPTER-6 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 609 \n \n \n \n4. \nIn view of above, Establishment Division is requested to reconsider the \nproposed terms and conditions of police personnel so as to bring these in line with the \nrules. \n5. \nThis issues, with the approval of the competent authority. \n[Authority:- Finance Div.‘s OM No. F.3(7)-R-10/94, dated 7th March, 2002]. \n_________________ \n\nCHAPTER 7 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCAREER PLANNING, PROMOTION \n& TRAINING \n(611-612) \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 613 \n \nCHAPTER 7 \n \nCAREER PLANNING, PROMOTION & TRAINING \n \nSl. \nNo(s). \nChapter Contents \nPage \n No(s). \n \nI.

CAREER PLANNING \n \n1.1 \nPreparation of Seniority Lists BPS Wise \n \n According to sub-section (1) of section 8 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, seniority \nlists of all persons employed under the Federal Government are required to be prepared. After \npromulgation of the All-Pakistan Services (Change in Nomenclature) Rules, 1973, and the \nCivil Servants (Change in Nomenclature of Services and Abolition of Classes) Rules, 1973, \nthe former regularly constituted Services ceased to exist. Seniority lists of all officers \nemployed under the Federal Government including officers belonging to the former regularly \nconstituted Services, should, therefore be re-drawn grade-wise. In the case of appointments \nmade by promotion, seniority in a particular grade would be determined according to sub-\nsection (4), of section 8 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, namely, according to the date of \nregular appointment to a post in that grade, subject to the proviso that civil servants selected \nfor promotion to a higher grade in one batch shall, on their promotion, retain their inter-se-\nseniority in the lower grade unless superseded. As for seniority between departmental \npromotees and direct recruits in grades where posts are filled both by promotion and direct \nrecruitment, the rule already prescribed in the general principles of seniority in Establishment \nDivision O.M. No. 1/16/69-D.II, dated 31st December, 1970 shall continue to be followed. \nAccording to these rules officers promoted to a higher grade in a continuous arrangement and \nas a regular measure in a particular year shall, as a class, be senior to those appointed by direct \nrecruitment in the same year. \n \n2. \nThe Establishment Division have already issued gradation lists in respect of \nBPS 18 and above of the **All-Pakistan Unified Grades.

It was provided that in the case of appointments made by promotion, \nseniority in a particular grade should be determined according to sub-section (4) of \nsection 8 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, namely from the date of regular appointment to \na post in a grade. \n \n2. \nA number of references have been received in the Establishment Division \nenquiring whether the seniorities in various grades which had already been established \naccording to the previous rules on the subject differently from the principle of date of \nregular appointment to a grade could not be modified in accordance with the provisions \nof sub-section (4) of section 8 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. The matter has been \nexamined in consultation with the Law Division. The position is that consequent upon \nthe Administrative Reforms, certain cadres have been transformed into occupational \ngroups but the composition of the cadres comprising these groups has remained intact. \nExamples are; the Income Tax Group, the Customs and Excise Group, the Military \nLands and Cantonments Group etc. However, in the case of certain other groups for \nexample the Accounts Group and the Secretariat Group - a number of cadres have been \n \n Now renamed as ―Inland Revenue Service‖ vide Estt.

In the case of groups where the cadre has not \nbeen amalgamated with any other cadre, the seniority in different grades as determined \nunder the previous rules before the promulgation of the Civil Servants Ordinance, 1973 \n(15-8-1973) shall not be disturbed. However, seniority of persons promoted to higher \ngrades after 15-8-1973 shall be determined strictly in accordance with the provisions of \nsub-section (4) of section 8 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. \n \n3. \nIn regard to occupational groups which have been formed by \namalgamating more than one cadre, no such protection of seniority is either permissible \nor practicable. The old cadres having ceased to exist, the seniorities in the newly formed \ngroups have to be determined afresh and shall be fixed in accordance with the date of \nregular appointment to posts in the respective grades. \n \n4. The instructions issued in the Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. \n1/9/74-ARC, dated 12-9-1974 and the relevant provisions regarding seniority contained in \nthe instructions about constitution of various occupational groups may be deemed to have \nbeen modified to the above extent. \n[Authority:– Estt.

If any \nofficer/staff becomes redundant to the requirement of the Ministries/ Divisions/Departments \nas a result of implementation of the above or any other decision, that may be enlisted with the \nsurplus pool for adjustment elsewhere. As a result of implementation of the above said \ndecisions, the number of surplus civil servants will increase manifold. \n \n3. \nIn terms of Section 11(2) of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, the services of civil \nservants holding temporary and permanent posts can be terminated on abolition of such posts. \nHowever, on human considerations, government decided in 1993 to create a surplus pool \nunder the charge of the Establishment Division. The civil servants declared surplus as a result \nof abolition of posts are enlisted in the surplus pool for absorption elsewhere. \n \n4. \nIn order to speed-up the pace of absorption of surplus civil servants, \nfollowing guidelines have been framed with approval of the competent authority, for \neffective administration of the surplus pool:– \n \n(i) \nThe name of a civil servant, other than ad-hoc employees and persons \nappointed against leave and deputation vacancies, who may be rendered \nsurplus as a result of reorganization or abolition of a Division/ \nDepartment/Organization or reduction in the number of posts shall be placed \nin the surplus pool administered by Establishment Division for a period of two \nyears whereafter his services shall stand terminated. If a civil servant has \nalready completed two years in the surplus pool on the date of issuance of \nguidelines, he may be allowed to remain enlisted in the pool for a period of \nanother one year whereafter his services shall stand terminated. \n \n(ii) \nIf a post occupied by a deputationist or a person posted under Section 10 \nof Civil Servants Act, 1973 is declared surplus, the holder of the post shall \nbe repatriated to his parent organization. \n \n(iii) \nDuring the period of his placement in the Surplus Pool a civil servant shall \nremain on the pay rolls of his parent department and he shall be entitled to \npay and allowances which he would have drawn in the post last held by \nhim on regular basis in his parent organization before his placement in the \nPool. His post in his parent department shall be treated as supernumerary \npost and it shall be abolished after his absorption or the period mentioned \nin sub-para(i) above, whichever be earlier. \n \nNow Prime Minister. \n\nPage - 626 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \n \n(iv) \nDuring placement in the surplus pool, civil servants may be given the \noption to avail leave under rule 27 of the Revised Leave Rules 1980. \n \n(v) \nCivil servants placed in the surplus pool shall be posted for absorption in \nother Divisions/Departments/Organizations in accordance with rules 3(3) \nand 3(4) of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) \nRules, 1973 and Section 11-A of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. \n \n(vi) \nSurplus employees in BPS 1 – 5 shall, ordinarily, be posted for absorption \nat the station of their last posting or place of domicile. Civil servants in \nBPS 6 and above may be posted at a station other than the station of their \nlast posting or domicile but subject to availability of posts, efforts may be \nmade to arrange their posting nearest to the station of their last posting or \ntheir place of domicile. \n \n(vii) \nFailure of a surplus civil servant to join new post within the prescribed time \nshall render him liable to removal from the list of surplus pool and termination \nof his services. Where the competent authority is satisfied that failure of \nsurplus civil servant to report for duty at the place of his new posting within \nthe prescribed time was in circumstances beyond his control, it may, for \nreasons to be recorded in writing, allow him additional time for joining or \nconsider him for alternative posting at a station other than the one to which he \nwas last posted. \n \n(viii) If a Division/Department/Organization fails to accept the services of a \ncivil servant transferred from surplus pool, the post shall be deemed to \nhave been abolished. \n \n(ix) \nLegal provision for termination, reversion, E&D proceeding, etc shall be \ninvoked only after the surplus civil servant fails to abide by the \ngovernment orders within the given time-frame. \n \n5. \nAs regards employees of the autonomous bodies, they are not civil servants and \nare governed by the regulations/instructions operative in each individual organization. Each \nMinistry/Division should, therefore, lay down a policy in consultation with the Finance Division \nfor disposal of surplus employees of the autonomous bodies under its administrative control. \n \n6. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are requested to comply with the above \ninstructions/guidelines strictly. \n \n7. \nThis supersedes all the instructions issued on the subject from time to time. \n[Authority.– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.1/4/97-RW.III/CP.9, dated 9-10-2001]. \n1.7 \nModified Guidelines for Disposal of Federal \nGovernment Employees in the Surplus Pool \nThe Prime Minister has been pleased to direct that all efforts be made to absorb \nsurplus employees in various government departments as early as possible and the \nservices of no surplus employee be terminated. However, those surplus employees who \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 627 \n \n \nare willing to proceed on retirement may be allowed all admissible service benefits like \nleave, pension/gratuity etc under the normal rules. \n \n2. \nIn order to implement the directive of the Prime Minister, all \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to comply with the following instructions:— \na) \nThe services of surplus civil servants shall not be terminated by the \nMinistries/Divisions /Departments. They will continue to work in \nrespective departments and get their salaries etc. till absorption elsewhere. \nb) \nSurplus employees, who are willing to proceed on retirement, may be \ndischarged retired (depending on the length of service) and allowed all \nadmissible service benefit like leave, pension/gratuity etc under the normal \nrules. \nc) \nMinistries/Divisions may immediately report available vacancies for direct \nrecruitment in Ministries/Divisions/ Departments for absorption of surplus \nemployees. They shall continue obtaining clearance from Establishment \nDivision before resorting to direct recruitment. \nd) \nAbsorption orders issued by Establishment Division may be implement \nwithout delay through consultation between the old and the new \ndepartments of the surplus employees. The surplus employees are regular \ncivil servants, appointed through prescribed selection processes like \ntests/interviews etc, they cannot be put through another selection process \nby the new departments. \n3. \nThe guidelines contained in Management Services Wing, Establishment \nDivision‘s O.M No. 1/4/97-RW.III/CP.9 dated 09-10-2001 are modified to the above extent. \n[Authority.– M.S Wing, Estt.

The following illustration/ \nelaboration further clarify the position: \nPERs for one full year shall imply, one full year PER(s) earned after \nconsideration/supersession by the Selection Board and will include the \nPER which was neither due nor placed before the Selection Board even if \nit relates to the previous year. \nIllustration-I \nIf an officer ‗A‘ is considered by the Selection Board in Jan,2019 when \nhis/her PER for 2018 is neither due nor placed before the Selection Board \nand superseded. He will be considered after earning one full year PERs \nfor 2018. \nIllustration-II \nIf an officer ‗B‘ is considered by the Selection Board in January,2019 \nwhen his/her PER for 2018 is not due but placed before the Selection \nBoard and superseded.

These officers are also required to make contribution to \npolicy-making at the lowest rung of the policy-making hierarchy. For \npromotion to these posts, therefore, a civil servant must fulfill qualifying \nservice, eligibility threshold, qualifications, training, relevance of \nexperience, quality and output of work and integrity. \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 647 \n \n \n(e) \nPosts carrying basic pay scale 20 are middle management posts. Field \noffices are generally headed by the officers in this scale. It is, therefore, \nessential that in addition to the relevance of experience these officers \nmust also have a sufficient variety and width of experience so that: \n(i) \nthey acquire an overview of the functions performed by these \n \n \n \norganizations within the broader framework of government‘s \n \n \n \noverall objectives/activities to ensure smooth and effective \n \n \n \nmanagement at the field level; and \n(ii) \nthey can lend pragmatism to policy formulation in assignments at \nthe Secretariat. Variety of experience would include experience in \nthe field, corporations, attached departments, different Ministries/ \nDivisions and in our Missions abroad. \nFor promotion to middle management posts, a civil servant must \nfulfill qualifying service, eligibility threshold, qualifications, \nrelevance of experience, quality and output of work and \nintegrity, variety of experience and training. \nSelection Board should give due consideration to the nature of \nduties, duration and location of posts previously held by the \nofficer. Depending on the post to be filled, an officer possessing \nwell rounded experience should normally be preferred \nparticularly if he /she has served with distinction in unattractive \nareas. While some exposure to a corporation, autonomous body \nor an ex-cadre assignment may be considered a positive feature, \nthis would not be so where an officer has stayed away from \nhis/her parent cadre for too long. \n(f) \nPosts carrying basic pay scale 21 fall in senior management involving \nimportant policy-making or extensive administrative jurisdictions. In \naddition to the circulation value and variety of experience the incumbents \nmust possess proven analytical competence, breadth of vision, emotional \nmaturity and such other qualities as determine the potential for \nsuccessfully holding posts in top management. This potential cannot be \njudged by mathematical formula. The Selection Board will have to apply \nits collective judgment to determine the same. \nFor promotion to senior management posts, a civil servant must fulfill \nqualifying service, eligibility threshold, qualifications, relevance of \nexperience, quality and output of work and integrity, variety of \nexperience, training and Top Management Potential. \nSince officers promoted to this level may be called upon to hold \nindependent charge of a Ministry/Division or to head a major corporation, \nthe board should satisfy itself about the officer‘s maturity, balance and \nability to assume such top management positions even at short notice. \n \n \n\nPage - 648 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \nSCHEDULE-II \n[See rule 6 (1) (a)] \nMINIMUM LENGTH OF SERVICE FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR PROMOTION TO \nPOSTS IN VARIOUS BPS \n \nIn pursuance of rule 8-A of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and \nTransfer) Rules,1973 and in supersession of the instructions laid down in the \nEstablishment Division‘s O.M No. 1/9/80 R.II (A), dated the 12th January,1981, the \nPresident is pleased to decide that the minimum length of service for promotion to \nvarious basic pay scales shall be as follows:— \n \n- For BPS 18 \n \n \n5 years in BS 17 \n \n- For BPS 19 \n \n \n12 years in BS 17 and above \n \n- For BPS 20 \n \n \n17 years in BS 17 and above \n \n- For BPS 21 \n \n \n22 years in BS 17 and above \n \n- For BPS 22 \n25 years in BS 17 & above and 02 years in \nBS 21 \n \nProvided that:— \n(i) \nWhere initial appointment of a person not being a person in government \nservice, takes place in a post in BPS 18, 19 or 20, the length of service \nspecified in this Office Memorandum shall be reduced by the following \nperiods;

No. 15/38/52-SE II, dated the \n22nd June, 1953] \n \nIn the case of services and cadres in which under the prescribed recruitment rules a \ncertain percentage of vacancies is reserved for departmental promotion and the remainder for \ndirect recruitment, no uniform procedure is followed as to the sequence in which these \nvacancies should be filled, that is, whether promotions should be made first and direct \nrecruitment made later or vice versa. The Establishment Division have been considering the \nquestion of laying down a uniform procedure in this matter and have tentatively come to the \nconclusion that it would be an advantage both from the point of view of the department as \nwell as the candidates if promotions are made first and vacancies reserved for direct \nrecruitment filled later. There are, however, advantages and disadvantages on both sides, and \nthese are discussed below: \n(i) \nPromotions to departmental quota to be made first and direct recruitment \nmade later: \n \nUnder this system the department concerned can straight away promote the \nsuitable departmental candidates and, having done so, intimate the vacancies meant for \ndirect recruitment to the Federal Public Service Commission. If all the vacancies reserved \nfor promotion cannot be filled due to the dearth of suitable departmental candidates the \nbalance can, if necessary, be added to those reserved for direct recruitment. This system \nassures promotion to the candidates working in the department according to the principle \nof seniority-cum-fitness without undue delay and they are not left in suspense as to \nwhether or not they should apply to the Commission. If any of the departmental \ncandidates are superseded in departmental promotion, they still have a chance to compete \nwith outside candidates and may, thereby, be selected as being more suitable in \ncomparison with such candidates. This system, therefore, assures promotion to \ndepartmental candidates without their having to wait till the vacancies, etc., are \nadvertised by the Commission, while those superseded in departmental promotion can \nstill appear before the Commission. \n \nA further advantage from the point of view of departmental men is that they \nwill rank senior to outside candidates selected through direct recruitment as their \nappointments can be finalized earlier than those of the later. \n \nA disadvantage which might result from this system is that it may not always be \npossible in actual practice to follow it due to the exigencies of service which may, in \ncertain cases, necessitate direct recruitment being made first and appointments by \ndepartmental promotion later. Such cases, as far as can be seen, are likely to be rare and on \nthe whole it appears that there are definite advantages in following the system whereby \nrecruitment against the departmental quota should precede that through open selection. \n(ii) \nRecruitment by open selection to be made first and by departmental \npromotions later: \n \n employees; candidates. \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 671 \n \n \n \nOne of the results of this procedure will be that larger number of open vacancies \nwill go to departmental candidates in as much as they will be able in the first place to \ncompete with outsiders in open selection and be approved by the Commission on the \nbasis of their long experience and knowledge of the department. Those who are not \nselected in the open selection can again be considered for departmental promotion and \nreceive promotion according to departmental seniority. This system, however, is bound to \nresult in deterioration of efficiency since those who are not considered fit by the \nCommission can still be appointed to higher posts by departmental promotion and the \nadvantage of having fresh blood in the service which the open selection quota in a service \nis intended to provide will be seriously jeopardized. Apart from the resultant \ndeterioration, this system has a further grave objection inasmuch as a person rejected by \nthe Commission would still be able to secure a like post through departmental promotion. \n \n2. \nThe Federal Public Service Commission, who raised this matter, have \nsuggested that departments should first promote the deserving individuals against the \nquota fixed for promotion and then throw open the remaining posts for open competition. \nIn accordance with this procedure, no one who has been rejected by the Commission or \nhas not faced any competition will be promoted. This is evidently sound in principle. \n 3. \nConsidering all the facts, the Establishment Division are of the view that \nthe alternative at (i) above has definite advantages from the point of view of efficiency in \npublic service and the safeguarding of the legitimate interests of the departmental \ncandidates and they are, therefore, inclined to issue orders for its adoption by all \nMinistries/ Divisions/Departments. Before, however, a final decision is taken, Ministries \nand Divisions are requested kindly to favour the Establishment Division with their views \nin the matter. \n \n6.1 \nMinimum Length of Service for Eligibility \nfor Promotion to Posts in Various BPS \n \nIn pursuance of rule 8-A of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and \nTransfer) Rules, 1973 and in supersession of the instructions laid down in the Establishment \nDivision‘s O.M.No.1/9/80 R.II(A), dated the 12th January, 1981, (Annex), the President is \npleased to decide that the minimum length of service for promotion to various grades shall \nbe as follows:- \n- For BS 18 \n \n \n5 years in BS 17 \n- For BS 19 \n \n \n12 years in BS 17 and above \n- For BS 20 \n \n \n17 years in BS 17 and above \n- For BS 21 \n \n \n22 years in BS 17 and above \n \n- *For BS 22 \n25 years in BS 17 & above and \n02 years in BS 21 \n \nProvided that:- \n(i) \nWhere initial appointment of a person not being a person in government \nservice, takes place in a post in BPS 18, 19 or 20, the length of service \n \n* Amended vide Notification 7/1/2010.

A point has since been raised whether ad-hoc service rendered in a post followed \nby regular appointment to that post may be allowed to be computed towards length of service \nprescribed for promotion to a higher post. The matter has been considered in the \nEstablishment Division. It has been decided that the service rendered on ad-hoc basis in a \npost under the Federal Government, followed by regular appointment to a post in the same \npay scale shall be counted towards length of service prescribed for promotion to a higher post \nprovided there is no break between ad-hoc and regular appointments to the post concerned. \n \n2. \nThe above decision may be brought to the notice of all departments/ \norganizations under the administrative control of Ministries/ Divisions. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.10/22/83-R.2, dated 20-3-1988]. \n \n6.3 \nCounting of Service Rendered Against Higher Post \nUnder Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 \n \nSection 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 reads as under:— \n \n―10. Posting and transfer:—Every civil servant shall be liable to serve \nanywhere within or outside Pakistan in any equivalent or higher post under the \nFederal Government or any Provincial Government or local authority or a \ncorporation or body set up or established by any such Government; \n \nProvided that nothing contained in this section shall apply to a civil servant \nrecruited specifically to serve in a particular area or region. \n \nProvided further that where a civil servant is required to serve in a post outside \nhis service or cadre his terms and conditions of service as to his pay shall not be less \nfavourable than those to which he would have been entitled if he had not been so required \nto serve‖. \n \n2. \nA point was raised how the service rendered by a civil servant posted \nagainst a higher post under Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 would be counted \nfor the purpose of promotion to higher post of the said civil servant. \n \n3. \nThe matter has been given careful consideration in the Establishment \nDivision. It has been observed that according to section 5 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 \nall appointments are required to be made in the prescribed manner i.e. on the \nrecommendations of appropriate Departmental Promotion / Selection Committee (s) or \nBoard(s), as the case may be, and with the approval of the designated appointing authorities \nfollowed by a notification promoting such civil servant to higher BPS. \n \n4. \nSection 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 is a liability provision i.e. a \ncivil servant is liable to serve in an equivalent or higher post. Promotion to a higher post \nand holding temporary charge of a post are two different aspects. Legally, a person is not \nin a higher grade until his promotion to the higher post is duly notified and charge of the \nhigher post is formally assumed by him. \n\nPage - 674 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \n \n5. \nIt has, therefore, been decided that the service rendered by a civil servant \nagainst higher post under Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 cannot be treated at \npar with the service rendered by regularly promoted officers in the higher scale for the \npurpose of promotion to the next higher grade. \n \n6. \nThe decision may be brought to the notice of all concerned. \n[Authority: Estab.

The question as to what should be the length of service for promotion \nfrom BPS 16 to BPS 18 where there is no intermediate post in BPS 17 has been considered \nand it has been decided, with the approval of the President, that in such cases the minimum \nlength of service laid down in the recruitment rules relating to posts in BPS 18 for the \npurpose of promotion from BPS 16 to BPS 18 should be kept as the basis for such \npromotions. \n \n2. \nIn case there is no such provision in the recruitment rules, action should be \ntaken by the respective Ministry/Division to include such a provision in the recruitment rules. \n[Authority:– Estt.

Proposals for composition of Departmental Selection and Departmental Promotion \nCommittees in respect of each Ministry/Division and Departments and offices under its \nadministrative control may be forwarded to the Establishment Division. Broadly, the \ncomposition of the Committees should be as follows:— \nSl. \nNo. \nBPS \nComposition of the Committee \nRemarks \n(i) \nDepartmental \nPromotion \nCommittee for BPS 17 \nand 18. \nSecretary or Additional Secretary, a \nJoint Secretary and a Senior Deputy \nSecretary. If the posts are in an \nAttached Department or a Sub-\nordinate Office, the Head of the \nAttached Department or Head of \nOffice may be appointed as Member \nin lieu of Joint Secretary/Deputy \nSecretary. \nThere should preferably be \none D.P.C. for posts in BPS \n17 and BPS 18 for the \nMinistry/Division and the \nAttached Departments and \nSubordinate Offices under \nit. \n(ii) \nDepartmental Selection or \nDepartmental Promotion \nCommittees for BPS 11 \nto 16. \n \nAn officer of BPS 20 and two \nofficers of BPS 19. \n \n \nThere may be separate \nCommittees for posts in the \nMinistry/Division \nand \nAttached \nDepartments/ \nSubordinate Offices under \nthe Ministry/ Division. \n(iii) \nDepartmental Selection or \nDepartmental Promotion \nCommittees for BPS 10 \nand below. \nAn officer of BPS 19 and two \nofficers of BPS 18. \n \n[Authority:– Extract from para 6 of Estt. Secretary‘s d.o. letter No.1/9/73-F.IV, dated 22-10-1973]. \n\nPage - 676 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \n7.2 \nComposition of Departmental \nPromotion/Selection Committees \n \nAccording to rule-4 (1) of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and \nTransfer) Rules 1973, the composition of a Departmental Promotion/Selection Committee is \nto be determined by the Ministry or Division concerned in consultation with the \nEstablishment Division. However, the level at which the composition is to be approved in \nthe Ministry concerned has not been specified. \n \n2. \nIt has, therefore, been decided that composition of the Departmental \nPromotion Committee for BPS 11 to 18 may be approved at the level of Secretary of a \nMinistry/Division and the composition of Departmental Promotion Committees for BPS 10 \nand below may be approved by the Joint Secretary. Each Secretary may, in his Division, \nauthorize Joint Secretary (Admn) in respect of Departmental Promotion/Selection \nCommittees for BPS 10 and below. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s Letter No. 26/1/80-DV, dated 12-10-1980]. \n \n7.3 \nPost in BPS 18 Which Carry Special Pay \n \nIt is stated that the proviso to rule 7 of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion \nand Transfer) Rules, 1973 requiring that posts in BPS 18 which carry a special pay would \nalso be referred to the Central Selection Board if proposed to be filled by promotion or \ntransfer has since been deleted vide Establishment Division‘s Notification No. S.R.O. \n46(I)/84, dated 9th February, 1984. It is clarified that all cases in which a post in Basic Pay \nScale 18 carrying some special pay is filled by promotion will be placed before the \nappropriate Departmental Promotion Committee*. Where post in Pay Scale 18 carrying a \nspecial pay does not fall in the promotion ladder, it would be filled by departmental heads \nthrough normal posting and transfer. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 3/6/84-R. 2 dated. 3-7-1984]. \n \n7.4 \nDPC Not Competent to Recommend Demotion \n \nIt appears from references made recently to the Establishment Division that the \nscope and functions of Departmental Promotion Committees are not clearly understood. In \ncertain cases Government servants officiating without any condition in higher BPS have been \ndemoted on the recommendation of Departmental Promotion Committees. It is necessary, \ntherefore, that the position should be clarified. \n \n2. \nAs their name indicates, the function of Departmental Promotion \nCommittees is to make recommendations in respect of promotions and there is nothing in \nEstablishment Division Office Memorandum No. 33/l/47-Ests(SE.II), dated the 29th January, \n1948 which relates to the constitution of these Committees, to suggest that these Committees \nhave been given the power to recommend the demotion of an officiating officer. \n \n*BPS. Promotion is to posts/BPS. \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 677 \n \n \n \n3. \nWhat Departmental Promotion Committees should do is to prepare a list \nof officers whom they consider fit for promotion. They should revise this list periodically \nwhich means that they can either add to, or substract from it. An officer who has been \nsubstantively promoted to a higher BPS will not of course figure in this list. Similarly, an \nofficer who has been promoted to officiate in a substantive vacancy for an indefinite \nperiod should not appear in the list because he is for all practical purposes to continue in \nthe higher BPS. In other words, the officers whose names will be shown in the list \nmaintained by these Committees will be those who have not been promoted to higher \nBPS in any capacity or who have officiated off and on or who are officiating against \nleave vacancies or in temporary posts of short duration and are, therefore, liable to revert \nin the normal course to the lower BPS. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. F. 33/49-SE, dated 18-6-1949]. \n \n7.5 \nNames of the Selected Persons to be \nArranged in the Order of Seniority \n \nIn accordance with the Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. \n1/16/69-D.II, dated 31st December, 1970, regarding general principles of seniority, \npersons approved by the competent authority, on regular basis for promotion to higher \nposts in the same batch shall retain the same seniority on the higher BPS as they were \nenjoying in the lower grade. \n[Authority:– Para 1 of Estt. Division‘s O.M.No. 13/1/67-D.III, dated 15-7-1972]. \n \n7.6 \nDPC can Interview Candidates \n \nThe question of interviewing candidates, by Departmental Promotion Committee, at \nthe time their cases for promotion are being considered, has been examined in this Division, \nand it has been decided that a DPC can interview the candidates, if it so desires. \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.13/l/69-D.III, dated 25-3-1969]. \n \n7.7 \nMinutes of the DPC \n \nThe proceedings of the Departmental Promotion Committees are very often \ndrawn up in a sketchy manner and do not give the essential details. \n \n2. \nIt is necessary that detailed minutes should be drawn up to show why certain \npersons have been approved and what are the reasons for declaring certain other persons unfit \nfor promotion. In promotion for selection posts, mere average reports should not be \nconsidered sufficient and greater emphasis should be placed on merit according to the existing \ninstructions. \n \n \n[Authority:– Estt.

Replies to any query on the part \nof the Establishment Division (which would not be below the level of Deputy Secretary) \nshould also be furnished at least at the same level if not at the level of Joint Secretary \n(Admn). \n \n4. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are requested to kindly ensure that their promotion \nproposals for the consideration of *CSB are forwarded in the light of the \nposition/requirements of paras 2 & 3 above. \n[Authority:– Estt.

East Pakistan domicile and the \nrepatriated PSOWs need to be cleared first by the D.I.B. It is also observed that the \nparticulars of service of the government servants are generally not prepared carefully and the \nC.R. dossiers are not checked to find out the precise reasons for the missing reports. This has \n \n Note:- \n As CSB-I & CSB-II are no more in practice. \n Career Planning & Regulations. \n\nPage - 692 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \nto be ensured in all cases and the latest reports have to be invariably attached to the proposals \nor the reasons for not attaching such reports have to be clearly indicated. \n \n2. \nAt times, big bundles of C.R. dossiers are sent to the residence of the \nSecretary, Central Selection Board. This involves great risk (apart from inconvenience) as \nbulky bundles, of C.R. dossiers have to be carried from residence to the office. Moreover, \nthe CR dossiers received just before the meeting cannot be properly checked. In view of \nthis, it is imperative that the C.R. dossiers should be sent to the Establishment Division well \nin advance of the date of the meeting of the Central Selection Board after due scrutiny \ninsuring that these are complete in all respects. However, if under extraordinary \ncircumstances the CR dossiers have to be sent just before the meeting, the \nMinistries/Divisions may kindly arrange to deliver these CR dossiers through special \nmessengers in the office of the Secretary, Central Selection Board before the meeting of the \nBoard in which other items are to be discussed. \n \n3. \nThe above mentioned requirements should be invariably kept in view while \nsending proposals for the consideration of the Central Selection Board. \n[Authority:– Estt.

The proper procedure in such cases is to place the full particulars of ALL the \ncandidates before the Central Selection Board so that the Board may decide which of the \ncandidates are not suitable for the post in question. It is accordingly requested that the full \nparticulars of ALL the candidates in the field of selection or those who may have been \nconsidered by the administrative Ministries/Divisions, should be placed before the Central \nSelection Board in all such cases. \n[Authority:– Estt.

If a Ministry/ Division is \nnot headed by a Secretary or the Secretary is away on foreign tour, then the most senior \nofficer (Additional Secretary/Joint Secretary) in that Ministry/Division could represent the \nadministrative Ministry. The instructions contained in the Cabinet Secretary d.o. letter dated \n27-11-1972, were reiterated in d.o. letter No. 25-1/72-AV, dated the 17th January, 1974 and it \nwas further stated that a Secretary/ Additional Secretary was not at all in a position to attend \nthe meeting of the Board, the specific clearance of the Establishment Secretary may please \nbe obtained before deputing some other officer to attend the meeting of the Board. In order to \nmake it convenient for the administrative secretaries to so arrange their engagements as to \nfind time for attending meetings of the Central Selection Board, it was decided to hold \nmeetings of the Board on alternate Thursdays. \n \n2. \nIt has, however, been noticed that even now the Secretaries/ Additional \nSecretaries Incharge of Ministries/Divisions frequently do not attend the meetings of the \nBoard.

It is clarified that grant of BS-17 to Superintendent is not \na promotion within the meaning of Section-9 of the Civil Servant Act,1973, therefore, for all \npractical purposes, the Superintendent granted/placed in BS-17 are the substantive holders of \nthe post in BS-16 and are eligible for taking SOPE subject to completion of all other \nconditions/codal formalities. \n[Authority:— Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 7/5/2014-T-V dated 29-12-2016]. \n \n9.1 \nProforma Promotions \n \nThe Ministries and Divisions as well as Attached Departments and Subordinate \nOffices, have, in the past, been ordering proforma promotions (also called promotions in \nabsentia) of persons serving on deputation on foreign service, or in ex-cadre posts as a matter \nof course on the sole ground that the deputationist had been approved for promotions by the \nD.P.C. of the parent department and a person junior to him had been promoted. This has \nresulted in the deputationists serving away from their parent department or cadre for unduly \nlong periods as such persons not only enjoy better emoluments while on deputation but also \nfeel secure that their interests are being fully protected in their own department. \n \n2. \nThe intention underlying ‗proforma promotions‘ is to protect the interests of \nthe government servant only in circumstances where the government servant is required to \nserve away from his parent cadre because of a definite requirement of public interest and not \nmerely to suit his own interest. Normally, therefore, a deputationist, as soon as he becomes \ndue for promotion should be required to revert to his parent department or cadre so that he is \npromoted to the next higher post for which he may have been declared fit. In case an offer of \npromotion is made to him and he declines to revert, he may be allowed to remain in the \noutside post on the clear understanding that he will not ask for ‗proforma promotion‘. Only \nin exceptional cases where the borrowing department or organization expresses its inability \nto spare the officer, and the head of the parent department records in writing why he \nconsiders it necessary to keep the government servant on deputation in the ex-cadre \nappointment, may proforma promotions be made. Even in such cases, the period for which \nthe officer is allowed to continue to remain on deputation, with the benefit of proforma \npromotion, should be judiciously fixed so that the officer reverts to his cadre and is appointed \nto the post for which he has been approved for promotion, as early as possible. Such period \nshould not normally exceed 6 months. All cases where ‗proforma promotions‘ are allowed \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 697 \n \n \nfor a period exceeding 6 months should be reported to the Establishment Division with full \njustification. \n \n3. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are also advised that in future whenever they send \nan officer or member of the staff on deputation to an ex-cadre post, or on foreign service, \nthey should settle in advance the period of deputation with the borrowing office/organization \non the expiry of which the government servant should revert to his parent cadre. While \nselecting persons for deputation, care should also be taken not to depute officers who would \nsoon be coming up or promotion to the next rank in their own cadre and may have to be \nre-called. In the majority of cases, officers and staff are sent on deputation on their \napplication or request. They should be warned that in case they fall due for promotion, they \nwill have to revert to their parent cadre and they will not be allowed promotions in absentia. \n \n4. \nThe above instructions do not apply to senior appointments in international \norganizations such as the United Nations, the R.C.D. Sectt., etc. to which officers are \nnominated by government having regard to their qualifications, experience and suitability. \nIn such cases, it may be presumed that the services of the officer have been placed on \ndeputation with the foreign organization in the public interest, and ‗proforma promotion‘ \nwhen called for, may be made. \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No. 1/28/71-D.II, dated 29-7-1971]. \n \n9.2 \nConsideration for Promotion \nof a Person on Transfer to \nAnother Office \n \nA permanent ministerial government servant, who is temporarily transferred \nfrom one office to another in the public interest, should be considered for promotion to a \nhigher BPS in his parent office as and when a vacancy occurs in the higher BPS and if he \nis selected for promotion in accordance with the relevant rules, he should be appointed \nproforma to the higher BPS so that when he reverts to his parent office he can count, for \nseniority and increments in the higher BPS, the period for which he remained on \ndeputation. No monetary benefit in respect of his proforma promotion in the parent \noffice shall be allowed to him while he is on deputation. Proforma promotion in such \ncases should be made with effect from a date determined in accordance with the ‗next \nbelow rule and not from any earlier date. \n[Authority:– Finance Division‘s O.M. No. F.1.(5)-RI-(R.W.P.)/62, dated 21-4-1962]. \n \n9.3 \nProforma Promotions – \nReview of Cases \n \nThe question has been raised whether the instructions issued in the \nEstablishment Division Office Memorandum No. 1/28/71-D. II, dated 29th July, 1971 \nregarding proforma promotion apply also to past cases where proforma promotions had \nalready been made prior to the issue of these instructions. The Ministries and Divisions \n \n Or the successor organization i.e. E.C.O. \n\nPage - 698 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \nare advised to review all such cases. If the officer had been allowed to proceed on \ndeputation for a specific period, he should be requested to revert to the parent department \non expiry of that period. In case no period was specified, the parent department should \nexamine the propriety of re-calling the officer to the parent cadre as it is not \nadministratively desirable that officers and staff should remain away from their parent \ncadre for unduly long period, say more than 3 years in the case of gazetted officers and 5 \nyears in the case of non-gazetted staff. However, if in the case of a particular department \nthe number involved is large, the recall of the deputationist should be judiciously \nstaggered so that no large scale reversions are caused in the parent office consequent on \nthe re-call of the deputationists. Priority in re-call should be given to those who have been \nallowed proforma promotion in the parent cadre. Where, however, the borrowing \ndepartments are prepared to confirm such officers and staff on their own establishment \n(provided this is admissible in accordance with the recruitment rules applicable to the post) \nand the officer or staff is also willing to be so absorbed, reversion to parent cadre may not be \ninsisted upon. \n[Authority:– Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.1(28)/71-D.II, dated 28-3-1972]. \n \n9.4 \nReversion of Deputationists to Parent Departments \n \nCases have come to the notice of the Establishment Division where officers \nwhose services were obtained on deputation for a specific period were not returned by the \nborrowing department when the parent department asked for their reversion. Attention in \nthis regard is invited to the Establishment Division‘s O.M.No.1(28)/ 71-D.II, dated the \n28th March, 1972, wherein it was laid down that officers obtained on deputation should be \nreverted to their parent department on the expiry of the period of deputation. It was \nfurther laid down therein that the period of deputation should normally be 3 years in the \ncase of officers in BPS 16 and above 5 years in the case of staff in BPS 15 and below. \n \n2. \nIn the interest of efficient administration, it is reiterated that the above \nmentioned instructions should be followed rigidly and the deputationists reverted to their \nparent department on the expiry of the period of deputation unless the intention is to \npermanently absorb the deputationist in the cadre or department where he is serving on \ndeputation and the recruitment rules for the post provide for such a course. In such cases, \nthe consent of the deputationist to the suspension or termination of lien on his permanent \npost in the parent department, as well as the agreement of the parent department, should \nbe obtained. With the completion of these formalities the deputationist will be treated as \nregular member of the establishment of the borrowing department. \n \n3. \nWhere, however, it is not intended to permanently absorb the deputationist \nin the borrowing department the deputationist must not be allowed to remain away from \nhis parent cadre for unduly protected period; he should be reverted to the parent \ndepartment on expiry of the period of deputation as originally fixed. If the borrowing \ndepartment needs the services of another officer having the qualifications or experience \npossessed by the deputationist, a request should be made to the lending department to \ndepute some other officer in his place possessing the same qualifications or experience as \nfar as possible. The borrowing department in no case should insist on retaining a \nparticular individual beyond the original period of deputation. \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 699 \n \n \n \n4. \nAll Ministries, Divisions and Departments are requested to examine the \ncases of deputationists with them and take necessary action in the light of the above \ninstructions. If relaxation of these orders is required in any individual case, it may be \nreferred to Establishment Division with full justification. \n[Authority:– Estt.

Subsequently it came to notice that he had undergone the \nmandatory training or passed the departmental examination but the training \nevaluation report or result of examination could not be submitted to the \nrespective Selection Board/Committee at the relevant point of time. \n \n(a) \n(i) \nCases of retired civil servants who could not be considered for \npromotion for no fault of their own and retired on attaining the age of \nsuperannuation. \n(b) \nA Civil Servant who was not superseded previously on the recommendations \nof the respective DPC/Selection Board duly approved by Competent \nAuthority but his/her claim has arisen for any other reason. \n(c) \nA Civil Servant recommended by respective Selection Board/ Committee for \nsupersession and the recommendations were approved by Competent \nAuthority provided that the said supersession has been converted into \ndeferment for reasons, what so ever, either by Count of Law or Competent \nAuthority. \n(d) \nA Civil Servant who was not recommended initially for promotion to higher \npost by the respective DPC/Selection Board as his/her score was below the \nminimum threshold for various reasons including. \n(i) \nnon-inclusion of additional marks for serving in training institutions. \n(ii) \nnon-inclusion of marks for any PER in the PER score. \n(iii) non-inclusion of marks of the Selection Board. \n\nPage - 702 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-7 \n \n \n(iv) wrong deletion of marks on account of penalty/adverse remarks etc. \n(v) \nany other reason deemed by the Committee to be a reason for wrongful \nprevention to hold higher post. \n \n(e) \nThe cases at (d) above to be considered if the respective DPC/Selection \nBoard subsequently took note of said omission(s) and had recommended \nsuch Civil Servant for promotion to higher post. \n \n (f) \nThe FR-17 Committees shall not consider the cases beyond the scope of \nFR-17. \n[Authority:—Finance Division‘s O.M.No.4(6)Imp/FR-17/2013-277 dated 18-09-2015]. \n \n9.6 \nPromotion on Temporary/Regular Basis \n \nAt times, Establishment Division receives proposals for regularising the promotion \nof those promoted earlier against deputation, leave, etc. vacancies, on the grounds that \nregular vacancy has since occurred. \n \n2. \nThe matter has been considered in the Establishment Division in light of the \nprovisions of the Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973, read \nwith the Promotion Policy covering promotion upto BPS 21. It is clarified that an officer \nrecommended \nfor \npromotion \non \ntemporary \nbasis \nby \nthe \nCentral \nSelection \nBoard/Departmental Promotion Committee and approved by the competent authority is \nliable to reversion to lower post in case the higher post is subsequently either abolished or \nceases to exist or its original incumbent joins back. However, if a temporarily promoted \nofficer continues working against the higher post without any break and, in the \nmeanwhile, a regular vacancy in the cadre becomes available, no fresh clearance of the \nCentral Selection Board/DPC and approval of the competent authority is required for his \npromotion to higher post on regular basis. The officer will, therefore, be deemed to have \nbeen promoted on regular basis with effect from the date of occurrence of the vacancy on \nregular basis in the cadre, subject to the following conditions:- \n(a) \nNo disciplinary/criminal proceedings have been initiated against him/her \nduring the period from the date of temporary promotion till the occurrence of \nvacancy on regular basis. \n(b) \nHis/her up-to-date service record would form the basis for assessing fitness \nfor promotion on regular basis i.e. quantified score should not be less than \nminimum threshold prescribed for the purpose. \n[Authority:– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.30/2/90-CP-3, dated 18-2-1997]. \nCLARIFICATION \n \nRefer to Establishment Division‘s O.M. No.30/2/90-CP-3 dated 18-02-1997 \nwhich inter alia provided for regularizing the promotion of officers who were earlier \npromoted against deputation, leave etc vacancies on the ground that regular vacancy has \noccurred subject to satisfaction of the conditions prescribed under the above referred O.M. A \nnumber of references are received in the Establishment Division regarding clarification for \n\n CHAPTER-7 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 703 \n \n \nextending the applicability of this O.M. to the cases of initial appointments made against \ntemporary vacancies. \n \n2. \nThe matter was considered in the Establishment Division and it has been \ndecided to extend the applicability of instructions contained in the above referred O.M. dated \n18-02-1997 to cases of initial appointment as well subject to the following conditions:— \n(i) \nThe initial appointment against the temporary vacancy is made in the manner \nprescribed for appointment against regular vacancy duly observing \nregional/provincial quota and qualification & experience prescribed in the \nRecruitment Rules of the post concerned. \n(ii) \nThe incumbent has continuously worked on the temporary vacancy during \nthe period from appointment to the occurrence of the regular vacancy. \n(iii) No disciplinary/criminal proceedings have been initiated against him/her \nduring the said period. \n(iv) His/her up-to-date service record would form the basis for assessing fitness \nfor the continuation of subject appointment. \n[Authority:- Establishment Division‘s O.M No.30/2/90-CP-3/R-2 dated 14-04-2014]. \n \n9.7 \nPromotion of an Officer/ \nOfficial During LPR \n \nA question has arisen whether an officer/official who is on LPR can be \nconsidered for promotion against a higher post or otherwise. \n \n2. \nThe matter has been considered and the view held is that LPR is one of the \ntypes of leave to which a government servant is entitled. As he continues to be a \ngovernment servant and can be called even for duty, he can, therefore, be considered for \npromotion against a higher post during LPR. \n \n3. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are requested to bring these instructions to the notice \nof all concerned. \n[Authority:– Estt.

There is, therefore, no need for any change in the rules. \n \n3. \nAll selection authorities, however, will ensure that a certain percentage of the \nmarks in any interview/examination carried out for induction of individuals into the \ngovernment service will be reserved for Islamic and Pakistan Studies.

No. 1/21/76-D. II, \ndated the 18th September, 1976 (Annex) that if a senior person declines promotion to suit his \nconvenience, he should lose in seniority to the next junior person who is promoted in the \nrelevant vacancy, and that he should not be considered for promotion till after his case for \npromotion has been considered again by the Selection Board in a subsequent meeting. The \ncompetent authority may also consider the grounds on which promotion has been declined \nand, in suitable cases, may take disciplinary action (on grounds of misconduct, that is, refusal \nto obey orders to proceed on transfer to another station) where it is clear that the promotion \nhas been declined to evade transfer to an unattractive station, and may impose the penalty of \nwithholding of promotion for a specified period. \n \n2. \nIt has now been considered that the aforesaid decision is inconsistent with \nthe broad provisions of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. The Establishment Division \n O.M. No. 1/21/76-D.II, dated 18th September, 1976 is, therefore, withdrawn with immediate \neffect.

No. 1/21/76-D.II, dated the 18th September, 1976]. \n \nThe question as to how the seniority of a person who is cleared for promotion but \nwho declines promotion should be determined when he is subsequently promoted has been \nconsidered. It has been decided that if a senior person declines promotion to suit his \nconvenience, he should lose in seniority to the next junior person who is promoted in the \nrelevant vacancy, and that he should not be considered for promotion till after his case for \npromotion has been considered again by the Selection Board in a subsequent meeting.

A question \nhas arisen as to whether the term ―Central Government‖ for the purpose of these Rules \nmeans the *Central Government in the Establishment Division or the *Central Govern-\nment in each administrative Ministry/Division. \n \n2. \nThe matter has been considered in consultation with the Law Division and \nit has been held that the term ―Government‖ appearing in the Government Servants \n(Conduct) Rules, 1964 means the *Central Government in any Ministry/Division. This \nmeans that ordinarily an officer in each administrative Ministry/Division is to be granted \npermission under any rule of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 from that \nMinistry/ Division. \n \n3. \nMinistries/Divisions are therefore advised:- \n(a) \nto dispose of individual cases under the Government Servants (Conduct) \nRules, 1964 in the light of the above interpretation instead of referring \nsuch cases to the Estt. Division. \n(b) \nto consider internal delegation of powers below the rank of Secretaries/ \nActing Secretaries so that cases may be decided at appropriate level and all \ncases are not referred to the Secretary of a Ministry/ Division. \n \n4. \nCases involving interpretation of the Conduct Rules will, however, \ncontinue to be referred to the Establishment Division for advice. \n \n5. \nCases of officers belonging to an All-Pakistan Service who are serving, for \nthe time being, in a province, should be decided by the Chief Secretary of the Province \nconcerned.

In the case of outgoing delegations or visits \nabroad of our dignitaries, it shall be the responsibility of the Ambassador \nof Pakistan and/or Head of the Pakistan mission in the country concerned \nto report the receipt of the gifts, together / with the name of the recipients, \nto the Cabinet Division through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. \n(3) \nGovernment/Public functionaries, except those in BPS 1 to BPS 4 are \nprohibited from receiving cash awards offered by the visiting foreign \ndignitaries. Such gifts may be politely refused.

However, if due to very exceptional reasons the gift cannot be \ndeclined, it shall invariably be deposited in the Toshakhana. These \ninstructions do not apply to gifts and donations made to institutions. \n(5) \n(i) Cabinet Division will get the value of the gifts assessed from \nGovernment Sector experts in FBR. Cabinet Division will also get \nthe value of gifts assessed by the private appraisers borne on its \napproved panel. \n \n(ii) If the difference in value of gifts assessed by two categories of \nappraisers is less than 25% the high value will be accepted. \nHowever, if the difference in value is 25% or more, a Committee to \nbe constituted by the Cabinet Secretary shall decide the final value. \n\nPage - 756 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n \n(iii) Private Appraisers borne on the approved panel of the Cabinet \nDivision will be paid 2% of the evaluation cost of each gift or \nRs.2000/-, whichever is less. \n(6) \nThe monetary limits upto which the gifts can be retained by the \n recipients are as follows:— \n (i) \nGifts upto a value of Rs. 30,000/-(Rupees thirty thousand \nonly) may be retained free of cost by the recipient. \n (ii) \nGifts valued above Rs.30,000/- may be allowed to be retained by \nthe recipient on payment of 50% of the value exceeding the basic \nexemption of Rs.30,000/-. This exemption shall however not be \navailable in case of antiques and gifts of intrinsic historical value. \nAll such gifts shall be properly catalogued and displayed at the \nprominent buildings owned by the Government. Different gift \narticles given by a single dignitary to a functionary at one occasion \nwill be treated as single gift for the purpose of valuation. \n \n(7) \nThe recipient should collect the gifts after payment of retention price \nwithin four months failing which it will become the property of the \nToshakhana and will be disposed of as per Toshakhana Rules.

These sales shall be held once or twice a year. The list of gifts to \nbe sold shall be circulated to all Federal Government officers and officers \nof the Armed Forces. The articles not purchased in two consecutive \nauctions by the Government servants should be disposed of to the public \nthrough sealed bids. \n \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 757 \n \n \n \n(11) Antique items and vehicles shall not be allowed to be purchased by the \nrecipients.

The gifts in the nature of antiques or of intrinsic historical \nvalue shall be put on display in accordance with sub-para (8) above. \n \n(13) The procedure shall apply to the President/Head of the Government and \ntheir family members, Chairman Senate, Speaker National Assembly, \nChief Justice of the Supreme Court, Governors of the Provinces, \nMembers of the Federal Cabinet, Attorney General for Pakistan, Ministers \nof State, Deputy Chairman Senate, Deputy Speaker National Assembly, \nDignitaries holding ministerial status, Members of Provincial Cabinets, \nJudges of Supreme Court, Chief Justice/Judges of the High Courts, \nParliamentarians and other elected representatives, all Government \nservants (Civil and Military) as well as employees of the Government \ncontrolled corporations, autonomous and semi-autonomous bodies and \ntheir spouse/dependents, members of the Provincial Governments, other \nmembers of public visiting abroad as members of official delegation. \n[Authority.— Cabinet Division‘s O.M No. 8/5/2017-TK dated 18-12-2018.] \n2.1 \nBar Against Demanding Dowry and Acceptance \nof Gifts on Occasions of Marriages \n \nAttention is invited to rule 5(1) of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, \n1964, according to which no government servant shall, except with the previous sanction \nof the government, accept or permit any member of his family to accept from any person \nany gift the receipt of which may place him under any form of official obligation to the \ndonor. It has been found that this rule is not being observed by government servants and a \nnumber of cases have recently come to notice in which government servants have \naccepted, particularly on occasions of marriage, expensive gifts from persons with whom \nthey have or are likely to have official dealings. It has also been observed that government \nofficials demand expensive dowries at the time of marriage and even display such dowries \nand gifts before large gatherings. The Committee on the Eradication of Social Evils has \ndeplored the practice of demanding and displaying dowries and gifts on occasions of \nmarriage as it encourages lavish expenditure and ostentatious living. \n \n2. \nIn view of the increasing tendency to demand and display dowries and to \naccept expensive gifts, government have decided that rule 5 (1) of the Government \nServants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 should be enforced more rigorously and government \nservants should be directed to avoid lavish expenditure on marriage and other ceremonies \n\nPage - 758 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nand to desist from demanding or displaying dowries or accepting gifts from persons other \nthan those who are closely related to them. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Government view such malpractices with extreme \ndispleasure and wish to re-emphasize the necessity of stopping forthwith such practices, \nwherever they exist and in whatever form or shape. \n \n2. \nIn this connection, attention of the Ministries/Divisions is invited to clause (1) \nof rule 5 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 which provides, inter alia, that a \ngovernment servant shall not, except with the previous sanction of the government, accept, or \npermit any member of his family to accept, from any person any gift the receipt of which will \nplace him under any form of official obligation to the donor. [If, however, due to very \nexceptional reasons, a gift cannot be refused, the same may, under intimation to the Cabinet \nDivision, be kept for official use in the department or organization in which he is working]. \n \n3. \nIt is requested that all the Ministries/Divisions may kindly bring the above \ninstructions home to all the BS-1-4 employees under their control including those employed in \nthe Departments, etc., under them, and take effective steps to eradicate such evil practices. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Besides being unbecoming of a \ngovernment servant, acceptance of such offers tends to place him under official obligation \nto the party concerned which is not conducive to good administration. It has, therefore, \nbeen decided that government servants should attempt to avoid acceptance of offers of \nsuch trips. If in any case it is not considered desirable to refuse such an offer in public \n \n BPS. \nTelephone & Telegraph Department (T&T Deptt.) converted into Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation \nand later privatized as Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd.

Invariably the excuse for having accepted awards by government \nservants in ignorance of the rules. \n \n2. \nThe competent authority has taken serious notice of this tendency and has \nbeen pleased to direct that all Ministries/ Divisions/Departments may be asked to \ndisseminate the rule position to government servants for strict compliance. The \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to please bring the rule position as defined in Section 6 \nof the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and Article 259 (1) of the \nConstitution of Pakistan, to the notice of all employees working under them and also to \nthe employees of autonomous statutory bodies under their administrative control. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Under \nsub-rule 2(c) of the same rule, no government servant shall solicit any subscriptions in aid of \na fund raised for non-official purposes. Instructions in amplification of this rule issued in the \nEstablishment Division O. M. No. 4/39/61-EVI, dated the 26th July 1961 enjoin that \nsubscriptions which tend to glorify a particular government official should be discoura-\nged. In view of this, the conduct of government servants who encourage non-officials to give \nbig farewell parties on the occasion of their transfers, or who take interest in promoting a \nlarge number of pointless functions and inauguration ceremonies would attract the \nprovisions of rule 3 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules,1964. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, requested that the Ministries/Divisions/Provincial Governm-\nents may kindly bring the above rule and instructions to the notice of all government servants \nand put a stop to this tendency among them. It may also be emphasized that breach of this \nrule will make them liable to be proceeded against under the Government Servants \n(Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1973 . \n[Authority.- Estt. Div.‘s Letter No. 4/4/63-D.II, dated 15-3-1963]. \n \n Article 259(1) of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 reads. ― No citizen shall accept any title, honour or \ndecoration from any foreign State except with the approval of the Federal Government‖. \n Rules 7 and 9 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964. \nNow Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 760 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n \n3.1 \nProhibition to be Chief Guests \n \nIn rule 7 (I) of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 it has been laid \ndown that no government servant shall encourage meetings to be held in his honour or \npresentation of addresses of which the main object is to praise him. \n \n2. \nA question has been raised whether cases of government servants who are \ninvited as chief guests would come within the mischief of this rule. \n \n3. \nThe main object of this rule is to discourage government servants from \naccepting invitation to parties where they will be chief guests. In cases where acceptance \nof such invitations are considered to be unavoidable, the official concerned should take \npermission from the next higher authority. When the government servant concerned is the \nHead of the Department or Secretary to the Government, he will obtain permission \nthrough the Secretary of the Ministry concerned or the Establishment Secretary as the \ncase may be. \n [Authority.- Estt.

This \nwould not apply naturally to the Basic Democracies*. \n \n2. \nA question has, however, arisen as to what criteria should be fixed for the \nguidance of the next higher authority in considering cases for such permission.

Such \npersons may be employed there or may be carrying on some independent \nbusiness or profession; \n (b) Government servants who are Pakistani nationals employed in our \nEmbassies/Missions abroad; \n (c) Pakistani nationals employed in branches or subsidiaries abroad of \nPakistani companies/firms. \n \n2. \nThere is no objection to Pakistani nationals who have settled down abroad \nacquiring immovable property or foreign shares and securities by resorting to bank \nborrowings from their own resources provided no exchange liability is created for \nremittance from Pakistan at any stage. If and when such persons return to Pakistan, they \nwill have to transfer the income and the sales-proceeds of such properties to Pakistan as \nrequired in terms of the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947. \nThere would also be no objection if the branches of Pakistani banks operating abroad give \nloans and advances to Pakistani settlers abroad for the purpose of acquiring properties abroad \nprovided these advances and interest thereon are recovered entirely in foreign exchange and no \nexchange liability is created for remittance from Pakistan as stated above. \n \n3. \nAs regards government servants who are Pakistani nationals employed in \nthe Embassies/Missions abroad or other government servants posted on duty or training \nabroad, they should be discouraged from acquiring properties or foreign shares and \nsecurities abroad. The remuneration which such persons receive is intended to cover their \nliving and other incidental expenses. If an official can manage to save funds out of his \nremuneration, such savings should be remitted to Pakistan rather than used for acquiring \nproperties and foreign shares and securities abroad. \n \n4. \nSome Pakistani banks, companies and firms have been permitted to \nestablish branch offices or subsidiaries abroad. In some cases, Pakistani nationals have been \nemployed in such branch offices or subsidiaries abroad. They should also, like government \nservants, transfer their savings, if any, to Pakistan instead of acquiring assets abroad. \n \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.No.1(14)-EF/EXP/62, dated 19-8-1963]. \n \n \nAlso refer to State Bank of Pakistan-Foreign Exchange Manual as updated upto March,2017. \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 765 \n \n \n4.4 \nDeclaration of Assets Held and Acquired by \nGovernment Servants and Corporation Employees \n \nInstructions regarding Declaration of Property and Assets have been issued from \ntime to time, but unfortunately these have been either insufficiently understood or dealt \nwith in routine. As a result, the compliance of these instructions by the Ministries/ \nDivisions/Departments etc. and by the officials themselves has remained sporadic. The \nPresident has also taken notice of this unsatisfactory state of affairs. \n \n2. \nThe instructions on the filing of Declaration of Assets have been revised \nand consolidated for strict compliance by all concerned, as follows:- \n \n(I) \nThe Declaration of Assets are to be submitted by— \n \n(a) \nall government servants of all grades, \n \n(b) \nall re-employed government servants, \n \n(c) \nall persons employed on contract, \n \n(d) \nprovincial civil servants and corporation employees serving on \ndeputation in the Federal Government, \n \n(e) \nall officers and employees of corporations/ autonomous bodies set \nup and/or controlled by the Federal Government. \n \n(f) \ncommissioned and non-commissioned officers of the armed forces \nserving on secondment in civil posts and in corporations/autonomous \nbodies. \n \n(II) \n(a) \nThe Declaration of Assets should be submitted by all concerned on \nfirst appointment and thereafter annually on 31st December each \nyear, on the attached proforma which should be filled in and signed \nby the Declarant himself. \n \n \n(b) \nThe revised proforma for declaration of assets provides for affixing \nof photographs of all officers of BS-17 and above on the first \nsubmission of declaration of assets under these instructions. \n \n(III) The Declarations are to be made in respect of Property and Assets held in \nthe name of government servant himself and members of his family as \ndefined in rule 3(1) (c) of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 \nreproduced below:- \n \n \n \n―Member of a government servant‘s family‖ includes– \n(i) \nhis wife, child or step-child, whether residing with the \ngovernment servant or not; and \n \n BPS. \n \n\nPage - 766 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n(ii) \nany other relative of the Government Servant or his wife, when \nresiding with and wholly dependent upon the government \nservant, but does not include a wife legally separated from the \ngovernment servant, or a child or step-child who is no longer \nin any way dependent upon him, or of whose custody the \ngovernment servant has been deprived by law‖. \n \n(IV) The Declaration should include the description/ details of immovable \nproperty such as land, houses required, built, or under construction \nincluding the property which is under mortgage or which is otherwise \nencumbered and movable property such as motor vehicles, investment or \nownership (part or otherwise) of business enterprises, stocks, shares, \nsecurities, certificates, prize bonds, insurance policies and jewellery \nhaving a total value of Rs.[50,000] or more, in terms of rule 12 of the \nGovernment Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964. \n \n(V) (a) \nIt will be the responsibility of Ministries/ Divisions/ Departments/ \nCorporations/Autonomous Bodies to obtain the declaration of assets \nin respect of persons serving under them.

The \ndeclaration of assets of the officials whose C.R. dossiers are not \nrequired to be maintained under the relevant instructions, should be \nkept in the above manner as companion files to their service books. \n \n \n(b) \nThe Ministry/Division/ Department/ Corporation or Autonomous Body \nwhich maintains the original C.R. dossier/ Service Books of the \nofficers/staff will be responsible for custody and maintenance of the \nfiles of Declaration of Assets in the prescribed manner. \n \n \n(c) \nFor this purpose, the Declarations should be forwarded, alongwith \nlists to the respective Secretaries of the Ministries/ Divisions/Heads \nof Attached Departments/ Corporations/ Autonomous Bodies who \n \n Revised vide Estt.

Since during performance of official duties such \ngovernment servants come across other government servants and private parties, they \nmanage to obtain insurance policies from them by taking undue advantage of their official \nposition. This state of affairs not only brings disrepute to the departments to which they \nbelong, but also distracts their attention from official duties and retards their efficiency. \n \n2. \nAccording to rule 16 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964, no \ngovernment servant can engage himself in any trade or business, directly or indirectly, \nwithout the previous sanction of the government. Such transactions, therefore, constitute a \nviolation of that rule and render the government servants concerned liable to disciplinary \naction under the Government Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules. \n \n3. \nMinistries/Divisions are advised that it should generally be made known to \nall concerned that government view this situation with concern and desire that government \nservants who indulge in this business indirectly through their family members should \nabandon it forthwith. \n[Authority.— Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.3/9/66-D.II, dated 15-8-1966]. \n \n6.3 \nPrivate Work During and After Office Hours \n \nIt has been brought to the notice of the Prime Minister that in order to supplement \ntheir income, a large number of low paid government servants do private work in addition to \ntheir government jobs. Some of them work as ushers in the afternoon, evening and night \nshows of cinemas while others are often absent from their jobs under government as they \nattend to private work even during office hours. \n \n2. \nGovernment work inevitably suffers on account of these government servants \nperforming private jobs during or outside office hours. It also aggravates the unemployment \nproblem. The Prime Minister has, therefore, been pleased to direct that action should be \ntaken to put a stop to this objectionable trend among government servants. \n[Authority.— Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No.1/20/76-D-IV, dated 6-3-1976]. \n \n6.4 \nFuture Good Conduct of Pensioners \n \nAttention is invited to clause (1) of Article 351 of the Civil Service Regulations \nwhich reads as follows:— \n \n―Future good conduct is an implied condition of every grant of a pension. The \nLocal Government and the Government of Pakistan reserve to themselves the \nright of withholding or withdrawing a pension or any part of it, if the \n \n Now Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules,2020. \n\nPage - 778 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \npensioner be convicted of serious crime or be guilty of grave misconduct.‖ \n \n2. \nIt has been decided that the provision of the above Article should be strictly \nenforced in all cases by the pension sanctioning authorities. In cases where a pensioner \ncommits misconduct, prompt action should be taken to withhold or withdraw his pension or \nany part of it. \n \n3. \nMisconduct in such cases would mean conduct prejudicial to good behaviour \nor unbecoming of a gentleman. The decision of the President on any question whether any \nact on the part of the pensioner is misconduct or not shall be final and binding. \n[Authority.- Establishment Secretary‘s D.O. letter No.5/4/73-D, IV, dated 11-8-1973]. \n \n6.5 \nTaking Part in Politics by Pensioners \n \nAttention is invited to clause (2) of Article 351 of the Civil Service Regulations \nwhich reads as follows:— \n \n―(2) Except with the previous sanction of the Central Government, no pensioner \nshall, within a period of two years from the date of his/her retirement, take \npart in any election or engage in political activity of any kind.‖ \n \n2. \nIt would be noticed from the above that the pensioner can participate in \npolitical activity within two years of his retirement from service only with the previous \nsanction of the Federal Government. It has, however, been decided that as a matter of policy \nno permission should in future be granted to any pensioner to engage in political activity of \nany kind. \n \n3. \nIt may be clarified that political activity would include activities like \naffiliation with political parties, public speeches, writing articles, giving statements, \nattending political meetings, making monetary contribution for political purposes etc. This \nclarification may be brought to the notice of the government servants and also to pensioners \nwho have not yet completed two years from the date of their retirement. \n[Authority.- Establishment Secretary‘s D.O. letter No. 5/3/73-D.IV, dated 31-7-1973]. \n \n7.1 \nEmployment of Dependent Family Members of a \nGovernment Servant in Foreign Missions in Pakistan \n \nA question has arisen whether dependent family members of a government servant \ncan seek employment in foreign missions in Pakistan. The matter has been considered and it \nhas been decided that government servants should not allow their wives to seek employment \nin foreign diplomatic missions in Pakistan. \n[Authority.- Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No. 1/148/76-D.IV, dated 23-11-1976]. \n \n7.2 \nEngagement in Trade, Business etc. \nby Spouses of Government Servants \n \nUnder the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964, no government servant is \n \n Federal. \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 779 \n \n \nallowed to engage in any trade or undertake any employment or work, other than his official \nduties, except with the previous sanction of the government. There is, however, no bar to the \nspouses of government servants taking employment or engaging in any trade or profession. It \nhas come to the notice of government that the wives of some government servants have been \nengaging in trade and business where influence of the husband could possible be misused. In \nsuch cases, the possibility of public interest being jeopardized cannot be ruled out. \n \n2. \nIn order to safeguard the public interest in such cases, it has been decided \nthat all government officials whose spouses have under-taken some private job or are \nengaged in business and trade may be directed to render a certificate to the Secretary of the \nMinistry/Division or the Head of the Department concerned that the profession, trade or \nbusiness in which his or her spouse is engaged is in no way under his/her official influence. \n[Authority.-Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No. 7/1/79-D-IV, dated 1-9-1979] \n \n7.3 \nInstructions under Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 \nRegarding Procedure for Engaging in Private Business, Trade and \nConsultancy Work \n \nGovernment servants in addition to their official duties are known to engage in \nprivate business, trade and consultancy work which provide them with pecuniary benefits. \nHowever, it has been observed that in many such instances, procedural requirements \nunder the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules,1964 are either not complied with in \nletter and spirit, or are in many cases, totally ignored. \n \n2. \nUnder Rule 16 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964, \ngovernment servants are not allowed to engage in private business, trade, or employment/ \nconsultancy work., except with the previous sanctions of the government, and provide \nsuch activity does not amount to conflict of interest in terms of the officer‘s position or \nobligations as a government servant. Further, a government servant shall not undertake or \nshall discontinue such work, if so directed by the Government. Also, a government \nservant who has any doubt about the propriety of undertaking any particular work should \nrefer the matter for orders of the Government. \n \n3. \n The above provisions of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules,1964 \nneed to be complied with in letter and spirit. These may therefore be circulated to all \ngovernment servants belonging to all occupational cadres falling under the Federal \nGovernment jurisdiction. Any violation of these instructions tantamounts to misconduct \nand is liable to be proceeded against under the Government Servants (Efficiency and \nDiscipline) Rules,1973. \n[Authority.- Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.1/20/1976-D-3, dated 23-07-2020]. \n \n \nNow Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 780 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n7.4 \nUse of Social Media by Government Servants \n \nKindly refer to Establishment Division‘s Circular No. 1/20/1976-D-3, dated 23rd \nJuly, 2020 whereby detailed instructions under Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, \n1964, governing participation of government servants in difference media forums \nincluding social media platforms were issued for compliance. \n \n2. \nUnder the Rules ibid, no government servant can participate in any media \nplatform except with the express permission of the Government. Rule 18 of the Rules ibid \nbars a government servant from sharing official information or document with a \ngovernment servant unauthorized to receive it or a private person or press. Further, Rule \n22 of the Rules ibid refrains a government servant from making any statement of fact or \nopinion which is capable of embarrassing the Government in any document published or \nin any communication made to the press or in any public utterance or television \nprogramme or radio broadcast delivered by him or her. Furthermore, Rules 21, 25, 25-A \nand 25-B of the Rules ibid bar a government servant from expressing views against \nideology and integrity of Pakistan or any government policy or decision. Besides, they \nalso bar a government servant from offering views on any media platform which may \neither harm the national security or friendly relations with foreign states; or offend public \norder, decency or morality; or amount to contempt of court or defamation or incitement to \nan offence; or, propagate sectarian creeds. \n \n3. \nDespite the aforementioned instructions and the guiding legal frame-work, it \nhas been observed that government servants often engage themselves with social media \ni.e. websites and applications that enable users to create and share contents or participate \nin social networking /virtual communities/online groups. They, while using different \nsocial media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Microblog-\nging etc. to air their views on a host of subject, sometimes indulge in actions or behavior \nthat does not conform to the required standards of official conduct, as envisaged in the \nRules ibid. Such actions range from unauthorized relaying of the official information to \ndisseminating the wrong or misleading information to airing of political or secretarian \nviews etc. \n \n4. \nIn view of the foregoing, it is expedient to issue the following instructions \nfor governing use of social media platforms by government servants:- \ni. \nThe same instructions as are applicable to government servants while \nspeaking at public fora or publishing articles in print media, shall apply, \nmutatis mutandis, to the use of social media by them. \nii. \nAs provided in Rule 18 of the Rules ibid, they shall not indulge in \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 781 \n \n \nunauthorized disclosure of the official information or sharing of the \nofficial documents they come across during the course of performing their \nduties, via social media. \niii. \nIn order to maintain their impartiality and objectivity in performance, they \nshall not partake in any discussion on social media or exchange or forward \ninformation or message that express their opinion on political issues. \niv. \nThey shall not participate in furthering of any information especially \npertaining to government matters that, prima facie, appears to be \nunauthentic and misleading. \nv. \nThey shall not make any disparaging remarks aimed at any individual or \ngroup or sect or faith and shall uphold values guiding the Civil Service at \nall times. They are advised to observe discretion and moderation in use of \nthe Social Media and uphold high standards of propriety. \n5. \nIt is, however, clarified that the instructions contained at para 4 are not \nintended to discourage any constructive and positive use of social media by a government \norganization for engaging with the public to solicit feedback on a government policy, \nsuggestions for improvement in service delivery and resolution of their complaints. \nHowever, such an organization shall edit their social media platforms continuously or \nfrequently to re move offensive, inappropriate and objectionable remarks. \n6. \nAll government servants are required to comply with the above \ninstructions in letter and spirit. These may, therefore, be circulated to all government \nservants belonging to all the occupational cadres falling in the jurisdiction of the Federal \nGovernment. Violation of one or more of these instructions will tantamount to misconduct \nand shall invite disciplinary action against the delinquent government servant under Civil \nServants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020. Further, in case of a violation \ncommitted on a group platform the ‗Administrators‘‘ or the ‗Admin‘, if they are serving \ngovernment servants, shall also be liable to the disciplinary proceedings. \n7. \nAll Federal Secretaries/Additional Secretaries (Incharge)/Service or Cadre \nAdministrators/Chief Secretaries are requested to ensure implementation of these instructions. \n[Authority:—Establishment Division‘s O.M No. 14/04/2021-D-II dated 25-08-2021.] \n \n \n\nPage - 782 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n \n7.5 \nMembership of Private Associations \nConnected with Social Work \n \nIt has been brought to the notice of the Establishment Division that permission was \nrefused to a government servant to become an office-holder of a private association, whose \nactivities are confined to social work only and whose character is non-political, on the \nground that membership of such associations is barred to government servants. Attention of \nthe Ministry of Finance, etc. is drawn to rule 16 of the Government Servants (Conduct) \nRules, 1964 and the note thereunder and it is stated that there is no bar to government \nservants becoming office bearers of such associations, provided they inform their immediate \ndepartmental superiors who will decide, with reference to the said rule and note, whether the \nmatter should be reported for the orders of government. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Civil servants are \nallowed to form associations under a strict code which allows ventilation of their legitimate \ngrievances only through the prescribed channel. The publicity to the press is not allowed. \n[Authority.- Estt. Div.‘s D.O.

It is hereby advised that the issues raised registered/ recognized \nassociations may only be considered to ensure elimination of un-registered/un-recognized \nassociations. \n [Authority.- Estt. Div.‘s O.M. No.16/19/88-D.II, dated 07-11-2006]. \n \n16.1 Channel of Communication Between Recognized \nService Associations and Government \n \nAccording to the rules governing recognition of associations of civil servants, the \nrecognized associations are required to submit their representations to government \nthrough the office specifically designated for the purpose. The recognition of an \nassociation which disregards the rules and adopts other methods of representation is apt to \nbe withdrawn. \n \n2. \nInstances have come to the notice of Establishment Division where \nrecognized associations have addressed their representations to authorities, other than \nthose to whom such representations should have been addressed and have circulated \ncopies of the representations to various authorities. This is a violation of the condition of \nrecognition of associations. \n \n3. \nIn so far as associations recognized by the Establishment Division are \nconcerned, Deputy Secretary, Establishment Division was designated as the officer to \nwhom representations should be addressed. Other Ministries and Divisions were \nrequested to similarly designate their officers for the purpose. The matter has been further \nexamined and it has been decided that more senior officers should be designated for the \npurpose which should not be lower than Joint Secretary in the case of \nMinistries/Divisions and the Head of Department, or his Deputy, in the case of Attached \nand Subordinate Offices. \n \n4. \nThe Ministries/Divisions are requested to designate appropriate officers \nfor the purpose of receiving representations and to notify the same to the associations \nwhose recognition is still valid in terms of Establishment Division D.O. letter No. \n16/17/73-F.I., dated the 30th January, 1974. The Establishment Division may please be \ninformed of such associations and the officers designated to receive representations from \nthe associations. \n \n5. \nWhile communicating the designation etc. of the revised designated \nofficers, the association should be warned that in case representations are addressed by \nthe associations to the officer/authority other than the officer designated for the purpose, \nits recognition is apt to be withdrawn by government. \n[Authority.— Estt.

In order to prevent a repetition of such \ncases, it is considered necessary that no officer should make such approaches in future \nwithout the prior approval of the government under which he is employed or make any \ncommitment, whatsoever, without obtaining the prior permission of government. \n[Authority.- Cabinet Division‘s D.O. letter No. 54(38)-53-Cord, dated 25 and 26-8-1953]. \n \n17.1 Correspondence with Foreign Missions \n \nInstances have come to notice in which foreign missions have offered \nscholarships/ fellowships to officers employed under the Government of Pakistan and the \nProvincial Governments direct for purposes of their training abroad. Such offers were \naccepted by officers and Ministries/Governments when approached subsequently, \nconcurred in the arrangements. \n \n2. \nAs the Ministry of Finance, etc., are aware, the channel of communication \nbetween the *Central and Provincial Governments and the foreign missions in Pakistan is \nthe Ministry of Foreign Affairs except in such cases where certain Ministries/Departments \nhave been allowed to correspond direct with foreign missions on purely routine or \ntechnical matters not involving any question of policy. The Economic Affairs Division \nhave been authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carry on correspondence direct \nwith the foreign missions in matters relating to the technical assistance schemes. All \nMinistries/Divisions are, therefore, requested to route their correspondence with foreign \nmissions on this subject through that Division. \n \n3. \nIn view of the above, the Ministry of Finance, etc., are requested to issue \ninstructions that no officer working under them should correspond with foreign missions \nin Pakistan direct and that no offer of fellowship/scholarship received from any foreign \nmission or any foreign government otherwise than through the Economic Affairs Division \nshould be accepted by them nor should any Ministry concur in the acceptance of such an \noffer except with the concurrence of the Economic Affairs Division. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Under the existing detailed instructions, all Secretaries to the Federal \nGovernment and Chief Secretaries of Provincial Governments are required to ensure that \nunder no circumstances should any scholarships or invitations for visits abroad be \naccepted from foreign missions/governments when these are offered directly to \nindividuals. Any direct offer is required to be politely declined with the suggestion that \nthe offer be made through the Foreign Office. In the event of direct invitation/offer being \nreceived by any individual or official from a foreign government through the post, it has \nto be transmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for processing. \n \n3. \nThese procedures have been laid down in accordance with the \nwell-established international rules in diplomatic theory and practice governing the \nconduct of a sending state and its representatives in a receiving state. Extension of invitations \nby a sending state to the citizens of the receiving state and their acceptance by the latter fall \nwithin the purview of Article 41 (para 2) of the Vienna Convention, as follows:— \n \n―All official business with the receiving state entrusted to the Mission by \nthe sending state shall be conducted with or through the Ministry of Foreign \nAffairs of the receiving state or such other Ministry as may be agreed.‖ \n \n4. \nIt is noted with regret, however, that contrary to the laid-down instructions, \nthere have been several instances where direct invitations were extended by certain \nforeign governments/missions to Pakistan nationals to visit their countries or to \nparticipate in conferences and seminars there. Certain foreign missions in Pakistan have \nalso been seeking to establish direct contacts with various local bodies, institutions and \nopposition elements. \n \n5. \nPursuant to a recent decision taken by the Federal Cabinet, it is reiterated \nonce again that the laid-down procedure for contacts with foreign diplomatic missions, \nacceptance of invitations, gifts and scholarships etc., from foreign governments should be \nstrictly enforced without any exception. In the case of private individuals and politicians \nreceiving direct invitations, the State Bank of Pakistan and other agencies concerned \nshould adopt effective measures to stop their departure from the country on un-\nauthorizedly-sponsored visits abroad. The system of prior clearance from the Interior \nDivision and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be strictly followed in such cases. \n[Authority.— Paras 2-5 of Estt.

It has, however, come to the notice of the government that despite \nclear orders there exists a tendency amongst government officials to approach the foreign \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 799 \n \n \nmissions, directly or indirectly, for personal favours as well as consular facilities. Such acts, \nobviously are a clear violation of rule 30 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964 \nand instructions issued thereunder. \n \n2. \nThe government has taken a serious view of the above tendency amongst \ngovernment servants and it has, therefore, become imperative to circulate the government \ninstructions on the subject once again for strict compliance by the government servants:— \n \n(1) \nGovernment servants should exercise great caution and restraint in the matter \nof social contacts with the members of foreign mission in Pakistan and, inter-\nalia, abstain from extending invitations to them for private lunches/dinners at \ntheir residence etc. \n \n(2) \nOfficials of the level of Deputy Secretary and below should not receive the \nofficials of the foreign missions, except with the express permission of the \nSecretary. \n \n(3) \nGovernment servants are also prohibited from contacting, or making direct \napproaches, to the foreign missions in Pakistan, in connection with their \nprivate business. All such approaches should be made through proper \nchannel (i.e. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). \n \n(4) \nInvitations extended by the foreign missions on the occasions of their \nnational days to the officers below the status of Joint Secretaries, may be \naccepted only after obtaining permission from the Secretary. \n \n(5) \nThe participation of officers below the status of Joint Secretary in the private \nfunctions, arranged by the foreign diplomats, should generally be \ndiscouraged. Joint Secretaries and officers of equivalent status will, however, \ndo so with the prior approval of the Secretary. \n \n(6) \nRepeated and frequent attendance, by the officers, at private functions held \nby the same foreign diplomat, must be avoided. \n \n(7) \nAs a general rules, only those officers who come into official contact with the \nforeign diplomat concerned, should accept his invitation. \n \n3. \nCompliance of the above instructions may be ensured, at all levels, so that no \none approaches, directly or indirectly, any foreign missions in Pakistan or any foreign aid-\ngiving agency, for favours and any violation of the rules, as well as the instructions issued on \nthe subject from time to time, will be dealt with severely under the conduct and discipline \nrules. \n[Authority.- Estt.

It has been \nclarified that if a person is dismissed or removed from service or compulsorily retired, he does \nnot retain the status of a civil servant for the purpose of any other disciplinary proceedings or \nimposition of any other penalty. There is a concept of law that the process of appeal is the \ncontinuation of the original proceedings, therefore, if a dismissed, removed or retired employee \nmoves a departmental appeal or representation or files an appeal before the appropriate judicial \nforum he is deemed to be a civil servant for that particular matter only under the said concept of \ncontinuation of status during the process of appeal. \n \n2. \nWhere an appeal is filed, the appellant may be treated as a civil servant for \nthe purpose of disposal of that appeal only and the result of any other inquiry that may \nhave been conducted may be held in abeyance. However, if the dismissed, removed or \nretired person does not file any appeal, the order of dismissal, removal from service or \ncompulsory retirement will attain finality and the result of the other inquiry will become \ninfructuous. \n[Authority: Estt.

In this connection attention is invited to the \nprovisions of Fundamental Rule 29 which stipulates that ― if a Government Servant on \naccount of misconduct or inefficiency is reduced to a lower grade or post or to a lower \nstage in his time scale, the authority ordering such reduction shall state the period for \nwhich it shall be effective and whether on restoration it shall operate to postpone future \nincrements and if so to what extent‖. Law Division have advised that the provisions of \nFR-29 should be treated as supplementary to *[rule 4 (c) of the Government Servants \n(Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020]. It is, therefore, necessary that while passing an \norder imposing a penalty of reduction to a lower post or time scale or to a lower stage in a \ntime scale, the requirements prescribed in FR-29 should be strictly observed. \n[Authority.- Estt.

It has been pointed out by the Services \nTribunal that there are decisions of the superior courts on the point that whenever any \ndiscretion is given to an authority, it has to be exercised not arbitrarily but honestly, \njustly, and fairly in the spirit of rules, and on judicial grounds and for substantial reasons. \nFor this purpose, the nature of allegations against the accused has to be considered. In a \ncase where it is clear to the [authorized officer] that the accused can be given reasonable \nopportunity of showing cause against the action proposed to be taken e.g. where the \nallegations could be decided by reference to record in a summary manner, the procedure \nunder sub-rule (iii) of rule 5(1) may be adopted. Otherwise, the ends of justice would be \nserved by ordering an inquiry through an Inquiry Officer or Inquiry Committee. \n \n3. \nIn a Show Cause Notice, the proposed action is required to be specified, and no \ngeneral mention is to be made by reference to all the minor or major penalties in the rules. \n \n4. \nFurther, serving of a Show Cause Notice and mere reply thereto in denial \nof allegations or mere questions and answers do not amount to affording the accused a \nreasonable opportunity of showing cause as required by [clause (b) of rule 7 (a) to (f) of \nthe Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020]. The requirement of \nreasonable opportunity of showing cause against proposed action will only be satisfied if \nparticulars of the charge or charges, substance of evidence in support of the charges and \nspecific punishment which would be called for after the charge or charges are established are \ncommunicated to the civil servant who is given reasonable time and opportunity to show cause. \n[Authority.- Estt.

It is clarified that under the Civil Servants (Efficiency \nand Discipline) Rules, 2020, there is no provision making it obligatory or mandatory for \nthe authority/[**] to publish a notice in the newspaper in the cases of unauthorized \nabsence/ abscondment from duty. The requirement of rule 7 of the Civil Servants \n(Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020, is that the accused may be informed of the action \nproposed to be taken in regard to him and the grounds of such action and that he may be \ngiven a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the action. This information can \nbe conveyed to him by different means, i.e. by registered post at his last known address or \nby affixation of a notice at that address, etc. Same is the position under rule 7(b) in \nrespect of service of a charge-sheet. According to rule 13 of the said rules nothing in rule \n7 shall apply if the authority competent to dismiss or remove a person from service, or to \nreduce a person in rank, is satisfied that, for reasons to be recorded, in writing, by that \nauthority, it is not reasonably practicable to give the accused an opportunity of showing \ncause, for instance, if it is reported that the accused has left his place of abode without \nleaving an address or he has gone out of the country and his whereabouts are not known. \nIf the authority mentioned in rule 8(b) is satisfied about the genuineness of the report, it \nmay invoke the provision contained in the said rule.

When he failed to do so, a notice \nwas published in the newspaper directing him to resume duty within seven days otherwise \nex-parte proceedings under the *[Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020] \ncould be taken against him which might result in his removal from service. He failed to \nresume duty. He was accordingly dismissed from service. His departmental appeal was \nrejected. Thereafter, he filed an appeal in the Services Tribunal (Appeal 2(P) of 1984). \nThe Services Tribunal accepted the appeal and set aside the order holding as follows: \n―It is manifestly evident that the impugned order was passed without \ntaking any proceeding under the Efficiency & Discipline Rules though in \nthe notice published in the newspaper it was categorically stated that in \ncase of failure of the appellant to resume duties, ex-parte proceedings \n \nModified as per Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 822 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nunder the E&D Rules would be taken against him.

The position being \nso clear, the impugned order cannot be sustained and we have no option \nbut to set it aside.‖ \n \n2. \nThe observations of the Service Tribunal are brought to the notice of all \nMinistries, Divisions and Departments who should ensure that due care is taken in \nobserving the requirements of *[Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020] \nin taking disciplinary action against civil servants. In this case, what was published was \nmerely a notice or a warning that if the clerk did not resume duty, action under *[Civil \nServants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020] would be taken. However, on his \nfailure to resume duty as directed, order to dismissal was straightway passed without \ninitiating disciplinary action on the ground of misconduct. \n \n3. \nIn this connection, a reference is also invited to the Establishment Division \nO.M. No. 4/18/83-D.2, dated 15th February, 1984, bringing out the requirement of rule \n13, clause (b) and the circumstances in which that rule can be involved. According to rule \n13(b), nothing in rule 7 (containing inquiry procedure) will apply to a case where the \ncompetent authority is satisfied that for reasons to be recorded, in writing, it is not \nreasonably practicable to give the accused an opportunity or showing cause. If all efforts \nto communicate with the accused through normal channels (like sending him the notice or \ncharge sheet by registered post to his known addresses) fail, that may induce the authority \nto be so satisfied. For this purpose, publication of charge sheet or show cause notice, as \nthe case may be, in the national press is certainly not required. However, if in rare cases, \nthe competent authority is unable to satisfy itself that it is not reasonably practicable to \ncommunicate with the accused, the competent authority may publish the notice i.e. show \ncause notice in terms of rule 7(b) of the Civil Servants (E&D) Rules, 2020 or rule 7(c) or \ncharge sheet in terms of rule 7 (as the case may be) in the newspapers and any lack of \nresponse to it may satisfy the competent authority that it is not responsibly practicable to \ngive the accused an opportunity of showing cause. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Nos. 21/11/61-D.I, dated \n22nd December, 1962 (Annex-I) and 18th April, 1963 (Annex-II) on the subject of ―Speedy \nDisposal of Disciplinary Cases-Policy Regarding Government Servants undergoing Criminal \nProsecution before Departmental Action‖. It is stated that the advice of the Justice Division \nwas sought whether it was possible to terminate the services of an employee, who was \narrested on a criminal charge of murder and had been undergoing trial for a long time, \nwithout any notice and without assigning any reasons, in accordance with the terms and \nconditions of his service as contained in his letter of appointment. The position as per advice \nof the Justice Division*, is as follows: \n \n2. \nA civil servant is not necessarily in temporary employment merely because \nof a statement in the order of appointment that his appointment will be purely temporary and \nliable to termination at any time without any notice or reasons being assigned. No civil \nservant is a temporary employee as long as the employment is for an indefinite period or \nagainst a post which continues to exist for an indefinite period. It is extremely difficult to \n \n* Law & Justice Division. \n\nPage - 824 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nattribute to the legislature an intention to clothe the authorities concerned with arbitrary \npower of terminating the service of a civil servant in their discretion without assigning any \nreason. The courts have always been reluctant to interpret these provisions in a manner as \nwould justify the externment of an employee without any justification. \n \n3. \nFurther after the enactment of Civil Servants Act, 1973, the services of a civil \nservant can either be terminated under section 11 of the Act or under [Civil Servants \n(Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020]. It is not possible to spell out any power to terminate \nthe services of an employee without notice and without assigning any reason from the \nprovisions of sub section (3) of section 11 of Civil Servants Act, 1973, especially in the \npresence of the provisions of sub-section (1) thereof regarding termination of service during \nthe initial or extended period of probation. If an employee has passed through the period of \nprobation to the satisfaction of the competent authority, he is no longer a temporary \nemployee with the meanings of sub section (3) if his employment is for an indefinite period \nor against a post which continues to exist for an indefinite period. \n \n4. \nIn the light of the above advice of the Justice Division, services of an \nemployee can no more be terminated without notice and with assigning reason [on the basis \nof the contents of Establishment Division‘s O.M. dated 22nd December 1962 (Annex I) and \n18th April 1963 (Annex II) referred to above]. \n[Authority.- Estt.

No.12/11/61-D.I, dated 22nd December, 1962]. \n \nInstances have come to the notice of the government that there are still a number of \ncases pending in courts against officials for unusually long periods without departmental \nproceedings having been ever resorted to. It has also been found that, in some cases, the \naccused officials have, while continuing under suspension, been absconding for long and \nsometimes for years, presumably with intent to frustrate or delay the court proceedings. \nWith a view to meeting such situations, it has been decided that, whenever such an instance \ncomes to the notice of the government, the accused official, whether permanent or \ntemporary, should be asked by his last known address to report to his official superior/court. \nIf he does not comply with the order, government should take up the formalities of his \ndismissal from service on charge of misconduct under the Government Servants \n(Efficiency & Discipline) Rules.[If he turns up and is a temporary hand, his services \nshould be terminated after serving him with the requisite notice or paying him salary in lieu \nthereof, without assigning any reasons for the action]. \n \n2. \nThere may still be cases of temporary government servants undergoing \n \nModified as per Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n Now Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules,2020. \n Note: This applies to temporary employments made on or after 08-06-1962. \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 825 \n \n \nlong-drawn court proceedings even if they have not absconded. If in any individual case \nof this nature, the appointing authority considers that irrespective of the outcome of the \ncourt proceedings, the accused official should not be allowed to continue any longer on \nthe pay roll of the government, such authority may recall the official to duty and terminate \nhis services after serving him with the requisite notice or paying his salary in lieu thereof \nwithout assigning any reasons for the action. [The course of action discussed in this \nparagraph should be resorted to unless, of course, there is any direction of the court to the \ncontrary in any particular case]. \n \n3. \nIt is requested that all Ministries/Divisions, etc., may kindly check up the \nposition of their employees involved in court proceedings and deal with the individual \ncases in the light of the suggestions contained in preceding paragraphs. \n (ANNEX II) \n[Copy of Establishment Division O.M. No.12/11/61-D-I date the 18th April, 1963]. \nReference.- Establishment Division O.M. No. 12/11/61-D.I, dated the 22nd December, \n1962 (Annex I) \n \nA question has arisen as to whether it was necessary to recall a suspended \ntemporary government servant to duty before serving him with the requisite notice of \ndischarge on the ground that his services were no longer required. The point has been \nfurther examined in Establishment Division in consultation with Law Division and it has \nbeen held that a suspended temporary government servant can be served with service \ntermination notice in accordance with the terms of the appointment during the period of \nsuspension and discharged after the notice period without requiring him to resume duty. \n \n2. \nUtmost precaution should, however, be taken to see that no reason is \nassigned for the termination except saying that his services are no longer required by the \ngovernment. \n25.3 \nBar Against Mentioning of Unfinalised \nDepartmental Proceedings in \nConfidential Reports \n \nIt has been noticed that in some annual confidential reports of officers received \nfrom various Ministries, a reference is made to departmental proceedings which are still in \nprogress against the officers concerned. \n \n2. \nThe Establishment Division feel that until and unless the result of such \nproceedings has been known and final orders, awarding punishment, if any, have been \npassed by the competent authority, it would not be correct to make any such reference as \n \nNote: This applies to temporary employments made on or after 08-06-1962. \nNow Performance Evaluation Reports. \n\nPage - 826 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nmay have the effect of creating doubts about the conduct and character of the officers \nconcerned. It can hardly be controverted that such a reference, although factually correct, if \ninadvertently made, cannot fail to damage the officer‘s record even if in the long run he is \ncompletely exonerated. \n \n3. \nIn the circumstances it is requested that, in the case of an officer against whom \ndepartmental proceedings are in progress, no mention, whatsoever, should be made about it in \nhis annual confidential reports. Only when such proceedings have been finalized, and the \npunishment, if any, has been awarded, should a mention about it be made in his confidential \nreport. In such a case, a complete copy of the final order may be placed, as is usually done, on \nhis character roll. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Admissible to Witnesses and Accused Government \nServant Summoned by an Inquiry Officer \n \nA government servant summoned by an Inquiry Officer should be allowed TA as \nadmissible to him under S. R. 154 „et seq‟ and he should draw it on a regular TA bill from \nhis own department on the strength of the Attendance Certificate furnished by the Inquiry \nOfficer and this should be debited against the office at whose instance the inquiry was being \nconducted, by book adjustment. In the case of a witness who is not a government servant, \ntravelling expenses should be determined by the Inquiry Officer with reference to the status of \nthe witness and should be paid on the basis of the orders passed by the Inquiry Officer, by the \ndepartment at whose instance the inquiry was being conducted. The TA to be paid to a \nnon-government servant should, however, in no case exceed the maximum TA admissible to a \ngovernment servant of the highest grade. The provisions of S.R. 190 „et seq‟ should also be \nkept in view in such cases. \n[Authority. - Estt. Division‘s O.M.

I, dated the 28th \nFebruary, 1963, a further question has since arisen as to whether the aforesaid provision of TA \nshould equally apply to the defence witness summoned by the Inquiry Officer in departmental \nproceedings. The point has been examined in Establishment Division in consultation with the \nMinistry of Finance. The position of the defence witnesses regarding summoning them and \npaying them TA is as explained hereunder. \n \n2. \nIt is for the Inquiry Officer to consider if any particular witness cited by the \naccused as a defence witness is likely to be as essential witness for the purpose of defence or in \nother words, for the determination of truth. If the Inquiry Officer agrees that the examination of \nthe witness will be essential, he may summon him and as soon as he summons him, he will take \n \nNow Performance Evaluation Reports. \n Supplementary Rules. \n et seq abbr., and what follows; Latin ‗et sequentia‟. \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 827 \n \n \nupon himself the obligation to allow the witness reasonable TA. If the witness is an official, he \nis to draw the TA from his parent department on the strength of the attendance certificate \nfurnished by the Inquiry Officer, the amount being debited by book adjustment against the \noffice at whose instance the inquiry was conducted. \n \n3. \nIf, however, the Inquiry Officer is not satisfied whether the examination of \na particular witness will be essential for the determination of truth he may at his \ndiscretion, refuse to summon such a witness. He may, however, agree to summon him on \ncondition that the accused will bear the travelling expenses of the witness and he may \naccordingly require the accused to deposit with him the anticipated amount of the TA of \nthe witness, in advance, so that the witness could be paid therefrom. In that case, the \nattendance certificate to be furnished to the witness by the Inquiry Officer should contain \nthe endorsement that the witness has been paid his travelling expenses. This will debar the \nwitness from claiming the TA again from the government. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 2/41/62-DI, dated 13-4-1963]. \n26.3 \nAdmissibility of TA to Government \n \nServants under Suspension \n \nA question has since arisen as to whether a government servant under suspension \nwho was required to perform official journey as a witness or as an accused, would be \nentitled to TA. The question has been examined in Establishment Division, in consultat-\nion with the Ministry of Finance, and it has been held that such a government servant \nwould be entitled to TA in such cases and his *grade and salary for that purpose would be \ntaken as if he was not under suspension. \n[Authority. - Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 2/41/62-DI, dated 19-7-1963]. \n26.4 \nFraming of an Additional Charge During \n \nCurrency of the Disciplinary Proceedings \n \nInstances have come to the notice of the Establishment Division that in cases where \nthe main charge of ―corruption‖ or ―subversion‖ was not proved, but there was sufficient \nevidence to establish the charge of ―misconduct the accused could not be punished because he \nhad not been charged with misconduct‖, although the offences of ―corruption‖ and ―subvers-\nion‖ are the graver forms of ―misconduct‖. To meet such exigencies, it has been decided in \nconsultation with the Law Division, that in all suitable cases where an accused is charged with \n―corruption‖ or ―subversion‖, an additional charge of ―misconduct‖ may be added to the main \ncharge. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 2/5/66-D.I, dated 11-6-1966]. \n \n27.1 Scope of Departmental Proceedings Under the Efficiency & \nDiscipline Rules in Cases Referred to the Courts \n \nReferences are very often received in the Establishment Division on the above \n \n* BPS. \n\nPage - 828 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nsubject in various forms. The questions generally posed by the Ministries/ Divisions are \nas under:— \n \n(i) \nWhether departmental proceedings can be started against a government \nservant who is being prosecuted in a criminal court; \n \n(ii) \nWhether departmental inquiry can be conducted against a government \nservant on the same charges after his acquittal by a court; \n \n(iii) Whether any departmental action lies against a government servant who \ncannot be prosecuted in a court of law due to technical grounds. \n \n2. \nThe matter has been examined in consultation with Law Division. Each \ncase has to be decided on its merits and in the light of its facts and circumstances. \nHowever some guidelines can be laid down in the matter, and the following general \nguidelines are indicated for deciding such matters:- \n \n(i) \nThere is no legal bar to the holding of a departmental inquiry against a \ngovernment servant who is being prosecuted in a criminal court. It may, \nhowever, be pointed out that where the holding of departmental inquiry \nside by side with the criminal proceedings may have the effect of impeding \nthe course of justice or of prejudicing the trial, the inquiry should be \ndeferred till the termination of criminal proceedings. \n \n(ii) \nAn acquittal from a criminal case may be on technical grounds or on the \nground that all the ingredients of the offence are not proved by the \nevidence produced in court. But in departmental proceedings even one of \nthe ingredients, if proved, may be sufficient to reach a conclusion that the \naccused has misconducted himself or has acted in a grossly negligent way \nor has shown inefficiency in the discharge of his official duties. As an example, \nto illustrate this point, a recent case may be cited. An officer employed in the \nRegistry of the Supreme Court was charged and tried for embezzlement. He \nwas, however, acquitted by the High Court in criminal appeal No. 676 of 1965. \nSubsequently, he was dismissed on the same allegations which were found \nproved in a departmental inquiry initiated by the Supreme Court. Thus \ndepartmental proceedings on the same facts may be started even if the person \nconcerned has been acquitted in criminal proceedings. \n \n(iii) In some cases, a government servant cannot be criminally prosecuted on \ntechnical grounds. But this does not bar the government from inquiring \ninto the truth of a charge against a government servant by means of a \ndepartmental inquiry.

This is obviously against dictates of justice. \n \n2. \nThe disposal of disciplinary proceeding assumes vital importance, especially \nin cases against government servants who are about to attain the age of superannuation. It \ngoes without saying that delay in disposal of such cases not only causes hardships to the \naffected persons but also puts the administration to unnecessary criticism. \n \n3. \nIt is, therefore, requested that disciplinary proceedings against government \nservants nearing the age of superannuation in future should be disposed of before they \nsuperannuate. All the agencies working under the administrative control of the Ministry \nconcerned should be advised accordingly. \n[Authority.-Estt. Division‘s O.M.

It is the bounden duty \nof every Head of Department to exercise utmost vigilance, analyse the cause, and trace \nthe source where incidence of corruption occurs. \n \n3. \nIn future, a Head of Department will bear the responsibility, and be \nanswerable for proven charges of corruption within the area of his administrative \njurisdiction. It is self-evident that corruption prevails in a department if its Head is: \n(a) \nhimself corrupt, or \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 831 \n \n \n(b) \nwilfully blind to corruption taking place, or \n(c) \nso inefficient that he is unable to control it. \n \n4. \nWhichever of these three reasons may be applicable, such a Head of \nDepartment cannot be retained in service to the detriment of government‘s objective of \nserving the people and promoting their weal and welfare. \n[Authority.- President of Pakistan‘s note No. 57/l/CMLA, dated 25-9-1978]. \n28.4 \nLoss of Security Passes to be \nTreated as ‗Misconduct‘ \n \nAs provided in para 97 of the [Security Instructions] (1973 Edition) prepared by \nthe Cabinet Division and this Division‘s Circular letter No. 14/17/71-Cord., dated the \n18th November, 1971, a government servant who has lost the Security Pass issued to him \nis required:— \n \n(i) \nto make report to the Police Station and to the Head of his Department \nabout the loss of the Pass; and \n \n(ii) \nto deposit Rs. 5 in the State Bank of Pakistan before a new Security Pass is \nissued to him. The amount of Rs.5 covers only the cost of the pass and \nactually no penalty has been imposed on him. It has been noticed that the \ngovernment servants generally do not take sufficient care to keep the \npasses in safe custody with the result that loss of security passes is on the \nincrease. As the pass lost can be misused by any unauthorized person \nwhich involves serious security risk, it has been decided, in consultation \nwith the authorities concerned, that the loss of Security Pass would be \ntreated as ―misconduct‖ in terms of [Civil Servants (Efficiency and \nDiscipline) Rules, 2020]. \n \n2. \nHowever, before any action is initiated against a government servant who \nhas lost his Security Pass, it is necessary to determine, in each case as to whether the \nsecurity pass in question was lost due to negligence. If the government servant concerned \nis able to give a satisfactory account of the circumstances under which the security pass \nwas lost by him, it may not be proper to proceed against him. If, after preliminary inquiry, \nit is found that the Security Pass was lost due to the negligence of the government servant \nconcerned or that the lost Security Pass had fallen into unauthorized hands as a result of \nany wilful omission or commission on his part, only then it would be appropriate to take \ndisciplinary action against him under the *[Civil Servants (E&D) Rules, 2020]. \n \n3. \nAll Ministries and Divisions are, therefore, requested that in future while \nreferring the case of issue of a Security Pass to a person who has already lost a Security \nPass, it may also please be clearly indicated whether disciplinary action, or if any, has \n \nModified as per Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 832 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nbeen taken/is being taken against the official concerned. \n[Authority.- Ministry of Interior O.M.

Failure to do so on their part will not only result in no action being \ntaken on requests contained in such representations/petitions but will also render them liable \nto disciplinary action for misconduct.

No.28 of 1969 [West Pakistan \nVS. Mrs. A. V. Issacs], has ruled that a civil servant has and always had the right to recover \nsalary already accrued due to him despite the fact that his service was during ―Pleasure‖. \nThis has rendered obsolete its own two earlier judgments in the cases of Mehrajuddin [PLD \n1959 SC (Pak) 147] and Fazl-e-Haq Mussarrat [PLD 1960 SC (Pak) 208] and a judgment of \nthe former Federal Court in the case of Ali Ahmed Hussain Shah [PLD 1955 FC 522] all of \nwhich followed the Privy Council‘s view on I. M. Lall‘s case and which was also followed in \nthe Law Ministry. In its latest judgment, the Supreme Court has taken the view that if the \ndismissal of a government servant is held to be unlawful he should be allowed salary for the \nperiod he was kept out of service. This was, however, subject to the condition that if he has \naccepted other employment or engaged in other profitable business during this period, any \namount earned by him by way of salary from such employment or as profits of such business \nwould have to be set off against the salary due, firstly because as government servant he \ncannot serve elsewhere or engage in any other business without the permission of the \ngovernment and secondly, because on general principle a person cannot be allowed to reap a \ndouble advantage. Therefore, it would be no more open to the government to resist claim for \narrears of pay of a civil servant wrongfully removed from service on the plea that no such \nclaim was competent. The claim will have to be resisted, if at all, on the facts of a particular \ncase referred to in the judgment as exceptional cases. The right of the government servant to \nclaim future salary has, however, been negatived by the court. \n \n2. \nIn view of the latest judgment of the Supreme Court on the subject, a civil \nservant‘s claim for arrears of salary in the relevant circumstances cannot now be refused. \nTherefore, Law Division‘s earlier advice to the contrary must be deemed to have been recalled \nand the Establishment Division is requested to review, in consultation with the Ministry of \nFinance, all the pending cases relating to claims of arrears of pay in the light of the fresh \ndeclaration of law by the Supreme Court and settle such claims. The Supreme Court‘s judgment \nunderlines the necessity of duly observing with care the provisions of the Constitution and the \nGovernment Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, in all disciplinary cases against \ngovernment servants and of expeditious disposal of such cases. \n[Authority.- Law Division‘s O.M.No.F.7(8)/70-SOL(I), dated 12-8-1970]. \n28.8 \nReinstatement of Government Servants on Court \nDecision and Functions of Enquiry Committee \n \nA reference is invited to the O.M. from the Law Division No. F. 7(8)/70-Sol(I), \ndated 12th August, 1970, which states, inter alia, that, in accordance with the Supreme \nCourt‘s judgment in CA No. 28 of 1969 (West Pakistan vs Mrs. A. V. Issacs), if the \ndismissal of a government servant is held to be unlawful, he has to be allowed salary for \n \nNow Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 834 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nthe period he was kept out of service, reduced by the amount, if any, that he might have \nearned by way of salary, or as profits, on account of having accepted some employment, \nor having been engaged in some profitable business, during the above period. Thus, the \nlegal status of government servants‘ claims for arrears of pay and allowances is no longer \nthe same as had been indicated in para 3 of this Ministry‘s circular d.o. No.F.9(15)-RI \n(Rwp)/61, dated 23rd December, 1961 (Annex). Consequently, it is no longer appropriate \nfor the enquiry committee referred to in para 4 of that circular D.O. to consider on merits, \nin cases in which government servants are restored to their posts as a result of court‘s \ndecisions, as to whether or not, and to what extent, pay and allowance for the period of \ntheir absence from duty should be restored. \n \n2. \nIt has accordingly been decided that, in cases where a government servant \nis reinstated retrospectively as a result of a court‘s decision, the functions of the enquiry \ncommittee to be set up under para 4 of this Ministry‘s circular d.o.No.F.9(15)-RI (Rwp)/61, \ndated 23rd December, 1961, as amended (Annex) would henceforth be as follows:- \n(a) \nThe Ministry/Division/Department as the case may be, may obtain from the \ngovernment servant concerned a solemn declaration, supported by an affidavit, \nas to the particulars of his employment, or engagement in profitable business, \nduring the period of his absence from duty, and the amount earned by him by \nway of salary from such employment, or as profits in such business. \n(b) \nAfter examining such evidence as might be available, and cross-examining, if \nnecessary, the government servant, the Ministry/Division/ Department, as the \ncase may be, may give their finding as to whether or not the above declaration \nis, ‗prima facie‟, acceptable and on what grounds. \n(c) \nIf the declaration is found to be, ‗prima facie‟, unacceptable, the \nMinistry/Division/Department, as the case may be, should refer the case to the \ncommittee, which, before giving their finding as to the amount earned by the \ngovernment servant during the period of absence from duty, may get the \ndeclaration properly verified/ scrutinized by any agency they consider \nappropriate. For example, if the case had been dealt with by the Special Police \nEstablishment at an earlier stage in any connection, this verification/scrutiny \nmay be arranged to be carried out by that Establishment. For purposes of this \nverification/security, assistance of the relevant Income-tax authorities, may also \nbe sought, if the government servant concerned be an Income-tax payer. \n(d) \nIn case the reinstatement of the government servant has been ordered by the \ncourt on account of the relevant administrative action having been found to be \ndefective, the committee should also give their findings: \n(i) \nas to which officers were responsible for that defectiveness of \nadministrative action; and \n \n FIA. \n Agency. \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 835 \n \n \n (ii) as to whether any, and what part, of the amount payable to the \ngovernment servant by way of net salary for the period of his absence \nfrom duty, might justifiably be recovered from such officers. The \nrecovery from such officers will, of course, follow departmental \nproceedings under the Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) \nRules. \n \n3. \nThe above instructions do not apply to cases in which government servants \nare reinstated as a result of acceptance of appeals by departmental appellate authorities, \nwhich will continue to be regulated by the provisions of FR-54, as hitherto. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.No.781-R4/73-F.3(4)-R.I/73, dated 10-7-1973]. \n(ANNEX) \n \n[Extract of Paras 4 & 5 of the Finance Division letter No. F.I(15) RI \n(Rwp)/61, dated 23rd December, 1961 as amended]. \n \n4. \nIf as a result of court‘s decision, a government servant restored to his post, \nthe question whether pay and allowances for the period he was under suspension or was \nremoved from service should be decided on the merit of each case. For this purpose, it is \nsuggested that in all cases the Ministry or Department concerned should order a \ndepartmental enquiry headed by the representative of the Ministry/Deptt. administratively \nconcerned with their Financial Adviser/ Deputy Financial Adviser as a member of the \nCommittee. This committee should consider whether, on the merits of the case, \ngovernment would be justified in restoring the official concerned, the pay and allowances \nfor the period involved and, if so, whether in full or in part. In coming to a conclusion \nwhether pay and allowances to the individual should or should not be restored, following \nconsiderations will have to kept in view:— \n (a) whether the person concerned was acquitted on a purely technical or \nprocedural grounds or whether the actually allegations against him had \nbeen gone into and were found to be incorrect; \n (b) whether the individual during the period he was away from active duty and \nother sources of income; and so on. \n \n5. \nIt has further been decided that in cases where the total period involved \ndoes not exceed 12 months from the time the individual was suspended or removed from \nservice, the final decision should be taken by the Ministry concerned at the level of the \nSecretary and in all other cases the matter should be referred to the Ministry of Finance \nfor prior concurrence. \n \n \n Now Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020. \n\nPage - 836 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n28.9 \nGrant of Arrears of Pay and Allowances to Government Servants \nfor Period of Absence from Duty, on Reinstatement as a Result of \nCourt‘s Decision \n \nDue to certain subsequent developments, instructions issued vide Finance \nDivision circular D.O No. F-9(15) R.I (Rwp)/61, dated 23-12-1961 and O.M No. 781-\nR4/73-F.3(4)-R-I/73, dated 10-07-1973 called for a revision. FR-53 and FR-54 have \nbeen amended and government servants under suspension are now entitled to a \nsubsistence grant equal to full pay and allowances. Similarly, employees reinstated in \nservice administratively or as a result of the court‘s decision with consequential benefits \nare allowed salary for the period they stayed out of service. \n \n2. \nIn view of the above, therefore, there is no need to refer cases to the \nFinance Division for payment of arrears of pay and allowance pertaining to the period of \nsuspension. In cases of reinstatement after removal/dismissal as a result of courts‘ \ndecisions, however, the Ministry/Division/Department concerned has to determine the \namount earned by the government servant concerned from other sources during the period \nhe remained out of service. For this purpose, the Ministry/Division/Department concerned \nshould obtain a solemn declaration from the government servant concerned in the form of \nan affidavit as to the particulars of his employment/business or any other profitable work \nundertaken by him during the period of his absence from duty and the amount earned \ntherefrom. The case should, then, be examined by a Departmental Enquiry Committee on \nwhich Finance Division may be represented by the FA/DFA concerned.

But if in the opinion of the authority competent to pass orders of dismissal, \nremoval or reduction in rank grounds which led to his conviction are good and sufficient \nfor imposing any of these penalties, that authority can pass such an order. If, however, the \ncompetent authority considers that a lesser penalty or no penalty at all is called for in the \ncircumstances of the case (such as minor or technical nature) there is no bar to that \nauthority taking a decision accordingly. \n \n3. \nIf it is decided to award the penalty of dismissal, removal or reduction in \nrank it is not necessary to give a show cause notice to the person concerned vide Article \n181 (2) proviso (a) of the late Constitution or Rule 55 of the Civil Services (Classification, \nControl and Appeal) Rules [Article 177 (I) (b) of the 1962 Constitution or rule 6 of the \nEfficiency and Discipline Rules, 1960 may be referred to in the present context].The order of \nremoval, dismissal or reduction can be passed by the competent authority taking into \nconsideration the grounds of conduct which led to the conviction of the person concerned in the \ncourt of law.

It has been held that when a court passed any \nstrictures against a government servant, it should not necessarily be assumed that he is \nguilty of some misconduct or breach of rules or an act of omission or commission. The \nnature of the action to be taken should be decided after careful consideration of the facts \nand circumstances of each individual case. If the strictures are such as to merit \ndisciplinary action against the government servant concerned, he should be dealt with \ndepartmentally in the light of the Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) \nRules. No government servant should, however, be punished on the basis of the strictures \nwithout drawing up necessary proceedings in accordance with the aforesaid rules. An \nentry may be made in the Character Roll of the government servant concerned or a copy \nof the strictures placed therein only when specific orders are passed to that effect by the \ncompetent authority.

Section 177 of the Pakistan \nPenal Code deals with the cases of persons legally bound to furnish information to a \npublic servant, whereas there is no legal obligation in the part of a candidate to furnish \ninformation when applying for a post in government service. The offence of furnishing \nfalse information in such cases is not, therefore, punishable under section 177, but under \nsection 182 of the Pakistan Penal Code. \n \n2. \nAs for tampering with the date of birth as recorded in an educational \ncertificate, it is considered that this amounts to forgery within the meaning of section 463 \nof the Pakistan Penal Code. The forging of certificates to support false assertions of \neducational qualifications would appear to be punishable under section 465, and the use \nof forged certificates punishable under section 468 of the Pakistan Penal Code. It is \nconsidered that these offences, which are punishable with long periods of imprisonment, \ncannot be tried summarily for the reason that, under section 260 of the Code of Criminal \nProcedure, only offences punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six \nmonths can be tried summarily. \n \nNow Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules,2020. \n\nPage - 840 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n \n3. \nIn the circumstances, prosecution for the offences mentioned above should \nbe restricted to cases of false information under section 182 of the Pakistan Penal Code, \nignoring the offence of forgery where it is also present. Steps should also be taken to have \nthe cases tried in a summary manner under sub-section (1) of section 260 of the Code of \nCriminal Procedure, 1898. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Division‘s O.M. No. 4/15/53-SE II, dated 7-7-1953]. \n \n32.1 \nResponsibility of Head of Department for Corruption \nwithin Area of his Administrative Jurisdiction \n \n Measures undertaken to curb corruption in the police have shown appreciable \nresults, and its personnel deserve to be commended, and encouraged to continue with their \nefforts in that direction. \n \n2. Meanwhile, public complaints of corruption in several government departments \npersist, and effective steps are required to root it out. It is the bounden duty of every Head of \nDepartment to exercise utmost vigilance, analyse the cause, and trace the source where \nincidence of corruption occurs. \n \n3. In future, a Head of Department will bear responsibility, and be answerable for \nproven charges of corruption within the area of his administrative jurisdiction. It is \nself-evident that corruption prevails in a department of its Head is: \n(a) \nhimself corrupt, or \n(b) \nwilfully blind to corruption taking place, or \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 841 \n \n \n(c) \nso inefficient that he is unable to control it. \n \n4. \nWhichever of these three reasons may be applicable, such a Head of \nDepartment cannot be retained in service to the detriment of government‘s objective of \nserving the people and promoting their weal and welfare. \n[Authority.- President and CMLA‘s Note No.57/1/CMLA, dated 25-9-1978]. \n \n32.2 \nCo-operation with Investigating Officers \nof the Federal Investigating Agency \n \nThe New Federal Investigation Agency has been constituted by the Government \nof Pakistan for the investigation of cases of bribery and corruption involving persons \nserving in connection with the affairs of the Centre. The cases of corruption usually \nrelate to the functions of the public servants concerned and involve the examination of \nofficial record for coming to a conclusion whether an offence has been committed or not. \nInstances have come to notice that in some cases when the Investigating Officers of the \nSpecial Police Establishment approached the departments for papers relevant to the \ncases under investigation, the officers concerned delayed handing over of papers on one \npretext or the other and in some cases, even refused to hand over the documents. They \nwere perhaps not aware that under section 94 of the Criminal Procedure Code, an \nInvestigating Officer is empowered to demand the production of any paper connected \nwith the offence, the investigation of which is being conducted by him and omission to \ncomply is punishable under section 175 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Even otherwise, it is \nthe duty of each public servant to assist the anti-corruption agencies in their arduous task \nof eradicating corruption. The responsibility of the Heads of Departments in this matter \nhas also been emphasized in this Ministry‘s Office Memorandum No. 1/8/67-SP (P), \ndated the 20th September, 1967. Delay in the investigation of corruption cases is \ndetrimental to the prosecution and goes in favour of the accused who gets a chance to \ntamper with the record and win over the witnesses before the police can examine them. It \nis, therefore, requested that suitable instructions may be issued to all concerned \nimpressing upon them the need for prompt handing over of the requisite record to the \nInvestigating Officers and the desirability of extending full co-operation to them in the \ninvestigation of corruption cases. \n[Authority.- Interior Division‘s O.M.

On receipt of this \nconcurrence, the Ministry or Department under which the government servant concerned is \nserving shall be informed of the registration of the case: \n \nProvided that a reference to the competent authority shall not be necessary to the \ncase of those government servants who are not governed by section 197 of the Code of \nCriminal Procedure, 1898 (Act V of 1898): \n \nProvided further that the Agency may register a case against any government \nservant at once, if for reasons to be recorded, it considers that delay in investigation will, \nor is likely to, result in the disappearance of, or in tampering with, the evidence or in \nimmediate loss to government.

The \nAnti-Corruption Council will take into consideration the explanation of the \naccused in taking decision regarding disposal of the case. The Secretary of \nthe Ministry concerned, in which the accused officer serves, if he is not a \nmember of the Anti-Corruption Council, will be co-opted as a member of \nthe Council while deciding the case. If charge-sheet for trial in court is \nrecommended by the Anti-Corruption Council, Interior Division will \naccord sanction for prosecution, without further reference to the Ministry \nconcerned to obtain explanation of the accused, on the basis of the \ndecision of the Anti-Corruption Council. \n(b) In the case of officers of Grade* 16 and below, the Interior Division shall \ncommunicate the full facts of the case to the Ministry under whom the \ngovernment servant concerned is employed and they shall supply to the \ngovernment servant concerned a copy of the charge-sheet and the brief \nstatement of allegations furnished by the Agency and give him an \nopportunity to submit within 15 days of its receipt a statement in writing to \nshow cause why he should not be prosecuted in a court of law or otherwise \nproceeded against: \n \n Provided that the giving of an opportunity to the government \nservant concerned to submit a statement in writing shall, in no case, be in \n \n*BPS. \n\nPage - 844 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \nthe nature of a departmental enquiry or proceedings.

The position is clarified as under:– \n(i) \nSupreme Court in their judgement in Civil Appeals Nos.154 and 155 of 1988 \nheld that organizations established through Resolutions were not bodies \ncorporate but government departments and their employees were held to be \ncivil servants. In the light of the aforesaid decision of the Supreme Court, Civil \nServants Act, 1973 and the rules made thereunder are applicable to the \nemployees of organizations established through Resolutions. \n(ii) \nIn case of autonomous bodies which are bodies corporate and are \nadministered or controlled by Federal Government, and have their own \nservice rules/regulations, it is necessary to make enabling provision in their \nservice rules/regulations on the lines of section 13(1)(i) of Civil Servants \nAct, 1973. \n \n2. \nMinistries/Divisions are advised to take necessary action for making \nenabling provision in the Service Rules/ Regulations of Bodies Corporate which are under \ntheir administrative control. \n[Authority.– Establishment Division‘s O.M.No.8/31/2000-R.3, dated 11-10-2000]. \n \n35.2 \nClarification Regarding Option of \nSeeking Premature Retirement \n \n \nThe amended section 13(1)(i) of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 lays down that– \n \n―(1) a civil servant shall retire from service– \n(i) \nOn such date after he has completed twenty years of service qualifying for \npension and other retirement benefits as the competent authority may, in \npublic interest, direct. \n \n2. \nHowever, queries have been received in the Establishment Division \nsoliciting advice on the point as to whether, or not, a civil servant can seek voluntary \nretirement on completion of twenty years of service qualifying for pension and other \nretiring benefits under section 13(1)(i) of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. \n \n3. \nAs such, it is clarified that there is no provision in the Civil Servants Act, \n1973 under which a civil servant can seek voluntary retirement on completion of twenty \nyears of service qualifying for pension and other retirement benefits. However, all \ngovernment servants have the right to seek retirement – if they so desire – on the \n\nCHAPTER-8 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 895 \n \n \ncompletion of twenty five years service qualifying for pension and other retirement \nbenefits (under CSR 465-B). This right is, however, subject to the provisions of the \nEssential Services Maintenance Act 1952 and is not available to a civil servant against \nwhom the departmental inquiry/proceedings are pending. \n[Authority.– Estt. Div.‘s O.M.No.3/8/2000/R.2, dated 22-10-2001]. \n \n35.3 Implications of Release of a Government Servant \n \n \nunder Section 25 of Ordinance No. XVIII of 1999 \n \n \nfor Disciplinary Proceedings \n \nSection 25 of NAB Ordinance (Ordinance No. XVIII of 1999) lays down, inter \nalia as under:- \n \n―25. (a) Where at any time whether before or after the commencement of trial the \nholder of a public notice or any other person accused of any offence under this Ordinance, \nreturns to the NAB, the assets or gains acquired through corruption or corrupt practices,- \n(i) \nif the trial has not commenced, the Chairman NAB may release the accused; \nand \n(ii) \nif the Court has taken cognizance of the offence or the trial has commenced, \nthe Chairman NAB may, with the approval of the Court, release the accused. \n \n2. \nA question had arisen whether release of a government servant under \nsection 25 should be construed as an order of conviction, and thereby automatically \ndisqualify him for holding the office which he was holding prior to initiation of proceedings \nagainst him under the said Ordinance. The matter has been examined in consultation with the \nLaw and Justice Division and correct legal position is clarified below:- \n \n(a) \nThe voluntary return of gains and release of the accused for return of \nmoney are matters unconnected with the terms and conditions of service of \ncivil servants. Neither any presumption can be drawn against him nor he \ncan be considered disqualified only on such facts unless the civil servant \nconcerned is subjected to disciplinary proceedings as per provisions of the \nlaw and the rules. \n \n(b) \nThough the release of a government servant under section 25 of the said \nOrdinance does not automatically disqualify him for holding his office but \nit makes him liable to face disciplinary proceedings in regard to charges of \ncorruption mentioned in section 25 of Ordinance No. XVIII of 1999 but \nthis liability should be without prejudice to the right of a government \nservant to: \n \n(i) \nbe informed in writing about the action proposed to be taken against \nhim and the grounds of the action; and \n\nPage - 896 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-8 \n \n \n \n(ii) \nbe given a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the \naction proposed to be taken against him. \n \n3. \nIf follows from the above stated position that the Ministry/ Division/ \nDepartment concerned is required to initiate disciplinary proceedings in accordance with \nthe law, if a government servant is released under section 25 of the NAB Ordinance. \n \n4. \nThe above clarification is being circulated for information and guidance of \nall Ministries/Divisions/Departments. \n[Authority: Estt. Div.‘s OM No. 3/65/2000-R.2, dated 3rd November 2000] \nSl.No.36 \nEmployment/Re-employment of Persons Penalized Under the Government Servants \n(Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 1973 and the Removal from Service (Special \nPowers) Ordinance, 2000 \n \nReference the Estab. Div.‘s OM No. 22/4/71-F.1, dated 3-4-1973 under which \nMinistries/Divisions/Departments were required to consult the list circulated by the \nEstablishment Division, of persons dismissed from government service for consultation \nbefore making fresh appointments. As the number of Ministries/ Divisions/Departments \nand government servants both have increased tremendously since the issuance of above \nreferred instructions neither the information required for preparation of lists from the \nMinistries/Divisions is received nor has it now been possible to prepare and circulate lists, \nkeeping in view the voluminous data. Further, to reduce the workload and in the public \ninterest, powers to initiate and finalize disciplinary proceedings in cases of employees \nfrom BPS-1 to BPS 19 and equivalent stand delegated to the respective authorities. \n \n2. \nIt has now been decided that, in case of a person having served somewhere \nunder the government before his candidature for fresh appointment or re-employment, \nMinistries/Divisions/Departments shall consult the parent organization of the person to be \nappointed/re-employed to find out whether he was penalized under the Government \nServants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 1973 or the *Removal from Service (Special \nPowers) Ordinance, 2000 or had retired from service voluntarily. If a person is found to \nhave been dismissed from service or retired on his request, he shall not be appointed/re-\nemployed. In case of other penalties, the appointing authority may decide whether a \npenalized candidate may or may not be appointed/re-employed. \n[Authority: Estab. Div.‘s O.M.

Pension and Gratuity.– (1) On retirement from service, a civil servant \nshall be entitled to receive such pension or gratuity as may be prescribed. \n \n(2) In the event of the death of a civil servant, whether before or after retirement, \nhis family shall be entitled to receive such pension, or gratuity, or both, as may be prescribed. \n \n(3) \nNo pension shall be admissible to a civil servant who is dismissed or \nremoved from service for reasons of discipline, but Government may sanction \ncompassionate allowance to such a civil servant, not exceeding two-thirds of the pension \nor gratuity which would have been admissible to him had he been invalided from service \non the date of such dismissal or removal. \n \n Subs. vide Civil Servants (Amendment) Ordinance No. XX of 2000, dated 1-6-2000. \n Subs. vide Civil Servants (Amendment) Ordinance No. XXXIV of 2001, promulgated on 4-8-2001. \n\n Page - 904 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-9 \n \n \n \n(4) \nIf the determination of the amount of pension or gratuity admissible to a \ncivil servant is delayed beyond one month of the date of his retirement or death, he or his \nfamily, as the case may be, shall be paid provisionally such anticipatory pension or \ngratuity as may be determined by the prescribed authority, according to the length of \nservice of the civil servant which qualifies for pension or gratuity; and any over payment \nconsequent on such provisional payment shall be adjusted against the amount of pension \nor gratuity finally determined as payable to such civil servant or his family. \n[Authority:- Civil Servants Act, 1973, Sections 13 & 19.] \n \n1.2 \nAuthorities Competent to Accept \nRequests for Retirement \n \nA reference is invited to the Establishment Division's Office Memorandum No. \n1/2/67-CV, dated the 6th December, 1967 (Annex) in which it was stated that it was not \nnecessary to submit requests for retirement on completion of 25 years' qualifying service to \nthe President for orders where the appointing authority was the *President. This was so \nbecause government had allowed all civil servants the right to apply for retirement and the \nintimation of intention to retire once submitted by a civil servant was final and could not be \nmodified or withdrawn. This right of the civil servant is, however, subject to the provisions \nof the Essential Services (Maintenance) Act, and is not available to a civil servant against \nwhom a departmental enquiry is pending. The question has, therefore, arisen as to which \nauthority is competent to accept such requests for retirement. It has been decided that \nrequests for retirement of officers of BPS mentioned in column 1 below should be submitted \nto the Authority mentioned in column 2 for orders:— \nSr. \nBPS of officers \n \n Authority competent to accept \nNo. \n \n \n \n \n \nRequest for retirement \n (i) \nBPS 21 and above......... \n \nPrime Minister.

As \nsuch, he can exercise the said option and submit a written intimation of his intention to retire \nonly after the date of completion of his 25 years' service qualifying for pension.

A number of cases have \ncome to the notice of Finance Division in which it was found, after such an application for \nretirement under para 5 of the O.M referred to above has been submitted and accepted by the \ncompetent authority and the government servant had actually retired, that the 25 years \nqualifying service for pension had not been rendered e.g. the period of extra-ordinary leave \nhad not been excluded from service. As such the government servant became altogether \nineligible for pension, which caused hardship. In order to avoid recurrence of such cases in \nfuture and to avoid resultant hardship to the retired government servant concerned it has been \ndecided that the application on for retirement after completion of 25 years qualifying service \nmust be accompanied by particulars as in the enclosed form. These particulars are based on \nthe pension application form and are intended for the purpose of calculating qualifying \nservice. On receipt of the application, the Head of Department should arrange verification of \nthe qualifying service by the Audit Officer within one month from the date of the receipt of \nthe application before orders of retirement are passed. \n[Authority.— Finance Division O.M No. F.8(5)-Reg (6)/73 dated 4th January,1975] \n \n \nAmended in terms of CSR 907. \n\n CHAPTER-9 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 907 \n \n \n \n1.7 \nNotifying Retirement of an \nOfficer on Attaining the Age \nof Superannuation \n \nIt has come to notice of the Establishment Division that in some cases no \nnotification was issued regarding retirement of the officer who retired from service on \nattaining the age of superannuation, i.e., the age of 60 years. The absence of a notification \nregarding the retirement led to delay in payment of the pension and other dues. The \nmatter has, therefore, been considered by the Establishment Division and it is stated that \nwhile a notification may not be necessary in the case of officers who attain the age of \nsuperannuation for retiring them from service, it is necessary to notify the retirement of \nsuch officers to all concerned for the recovery of dues from the officers, if any, and to \nfacilitate payment of pension and other dues of the officers. The Ministries/Divisions are, \ntherefore, requested to ensure that retirement of officers working under them are notified \nwell in time even if the officer concerned does not take leave preparatory to retirement. In \ncase the retiring officer is on deputation with the Ministry/ Division or with any of their \nAttached Departments/ Subordinate Offices and the orders regarding his retirement are to \nbe issued by his parent Ministry/Department, that Ministry/ Department may please be \ninformed of the date of retirement of the officer so that they may issue notification \nregarding his retirement. \n[Authority.- Estt.

RE-EMPLOYMENT \n \n4.1 \nEmployment after Retirement- Policy and \nProcedure – Re-employment after Superannuation \n \nIt has been noticed that Ministries/Divisions initiate proposals for re-employment of \ngovernment servants after superannuation as a routine measure. It is emphasized that \nre-employment beyond superannuation should be an exception and not the rule. It may be \nrecommended only in cases where government considers that the experience gained by the \nretiring person is of vital importance and can be gainfully utilized, particularly in fields \nwhere suitably qualified and experienced persons are not available. \n \n2. \nFor achievement of the objective mentioned above, the government has \nframed a policy for re-employment of government servants and cases for re-employment \nwould, in future, be considered in accordance with the following criteria: \n \n(i) \nnon-availability of suitably qualified or experienced officers to replace the \nretiring officer; \n \n(ii) \nthe officer is a highly competent person with distinction in his \nprofession/field; \n \n(iii) the re-employment does not cause a promotion block; and \n \n(iv) retention of the retiring officer, for a specified period, is in the public interest. \n \nThis policy would also apply to government controlled corporations and other \nautonomous bodies. \n \n3. \nProposals for re-employment are required to be accompanied with the \nfollowing documents/information:- \n \n(a) \nthe proposal duly signed by Secretary or Additional Secretary Incharge of the \nMinistry concerned to be received in the Establishment Division 6 months \nbefore the officer is due to attain the age of superannuation and has the \napproval of the Minister Incharge; \n \n(b) \nthe steps taken to train the substitute, if any; \n \n(c) \nPERs with photograph, ICP chart and bio-data on prescribed proforma; and \n \n(d) \ncertificate that the officer is medically fit. \n \n4. \nRe-employment beyond the age of superannuation in all cases requires the \napproval of the Prime Minister.

The President has now been pleased to decide that, in supersession of all previous \norders on the above subject, the pay of retired government servant on re-employment shall \nbe fixed in accordance with the following principles:- \n \n(i) \nWhere the new post carries a fixed pay, he should be allowed the pay of that \npost less pension. \n \n(ii) \nWhere the new post carries a time-scale of pay:- \n \n(a) \nIf the substantive pay last drawn by the officer before retirement was \nless than the minimum of the scale of the new post, he should be \nallowed the minimum of the scale less pension. \n \n(b) \nIf the substantive pay last drawn was more than the minimum of the \nscale but less than the maximum of the scale of the new post, his pay \nshould be fixed at the stage in the scale corresponding to the pay last \ndrawn, or if there be no such stage, at the next lower stage in the scale. \nFrom the pay so fixed the amount of pension should be deducted. \n \n(c) \nWhere the substantive pay last drawn was more than the maximum of \nthe scale of the new post the pay should be fixed at the maximum less \npension. \n \n(iii) A re-employed government servant should earn increments in all cases where \npay has been fixed in a scale at a stage lower than the maximum. \n \n(iv) In case a re-employed pensioner is promoted to a higher post, his pay should \nbe fixed in such a manner as if he was a serving officer with the difference \nthat from the pay so determined the pension would be deducted. \n \n(v) \nIn a case where officiating pay higher than the substantive pay was drawn for \na continuous period of 3 years or more immediately before retirement, the \nofficiating pay drawn before retirement may be treated as substantive pay for \nthe purpose of these orders. \n\n CHAPTER-9 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 927 \n \n \n \n2. \nThe above principles should be made applicable to employment in \nautonomous bodies and public limited companies in which government holds controlling \nshares. \n \n3. \nThese principles should be followed in case of appointments to statutory \nposts as those of Governors, Speakers, Ministers etc. A retired official appointed to any \nstatutory post should draw the pay of the post less the amount of pension drawn by him. \n \n4. \nThe pay of the retired military personnel, re-employed in civil posts, may \nalso be fixed in accordance with the above principles. In their case substantive pay shall also \ninclude \nthe \nfollowing \nelements; \nprovided \nthat \nthey \nwere \ndrawn \nbefore \nretirement/release/leave/leave pending retirement for a continuous period of 3 years or \nmore:— \n \n(a) \nCommand/Staff/Charge Pay. \n \n(b) \nInstructional pay. \n \n(c) \nQualification pay. \n \n(d) \nDisturbance Pay. \n \n5. \nThe word ‗pension' wherever used in these orders means pension before \ncommutation and/or surrender. \n \n6. \nThese orders will have effect from the date of issue of this Office \nMemorandum. \n[Authority.- Finance Division‘s O.M.

It is clarified that these allowances are not \nadmissible during re-employment/contractual appointment because:— \n \n(1) \n100% Orderly Allowance is already included in pension, as Special \nAdditional Pension. \n \n(2) \nSimilarly, Senior Post Allowance also forms part of pension. Moveover, this \nallowance is admissible to civil servants: whereas a contractual appointee is \nnot a civil servant. \n \n(3) \nQualification Pay also forms part of pension. This has been examined many \ntimes in the past. The view has been: \n \n \n―QP is not admissible because, the philosophy at the time of its introduction \nwas to encourage the government officers in service to do the higher courses \nand was made a condition for future promotion. It was meant as an incentive \nfor government's regular, permanent officers who are in service. Moreover, \nthe Qualification Pay is counted towards pension.

Notice of Discharge on the \nAbolition of Post to Permanent Employees \n \nReasonable notice should be given to an officer in permanent employ before his \nservices are dispensed with on the abolition of his office. If, in any case, notice of at least \nthree months is not given, and the officer has not been provided with other employment \non the date on which his services are dispensed with, then, with the sanction of the \nauthority competent to dispense with the officer's services, a gratuity not exceeding his \nemoluments for the period by which the notice actually given to him falls short of three \nmonths, may be paid to him, in addition to the pension to which he may be entitled under \nthese regulations; but the pension shall not be payable for the period in respect of which \nhe receives a gratuity in lieu of notice. \n \n1. \nThe gratuity prescribed in this Article is not granted as compensation for \nloss of employment but only in lieu of notice of discharge with a view to mitigating the \nhardship caused an officer by the sudden loss of employment. When, therefore, an \nofficer discharged without notice is provided with some other employment on the date on \nwhich his services are dispensed with whether that re-employment be in qualifying or \nnon-qualifying service, he is not entitled to any gratuity. \n \n2. \nUnless it contains an express statement to the contrary, an order for the \nabolition of an office or appointment shall not be brought into operation till the expiry of \nthree months after notice has been given to the officers whose services are to be \ndispensed with on such abolition. The immediate head of the office or the department \nwill be held responsible that there is no necessary delay in giving such notice. In the case \nof an officer on leave, the order shall not be brought into operation until the leave expires. \n \nNote.—‖Emoluments‖ in this rule means the emoluments or leave allowances \n(or partly the one, partly the other) which the officer would be receiving during the period \nin question had the notice not been given to him. \n \nCSR 436-A.

No civil \nservant is a temporary employee as long as the employment is for an indefinite period or \nagainst a post which continues to exist for an indefinite period. It is extremely difficult to \nattribute to the legislature an intention to clothe the authorities concerned with arbitrary \npowers of terminating the services of a civil servant in their discretion without assigning \nany reason. The courts have always been reluctant to interpret these provisions in a \nmanner as would justify the externment of an employee without any justification. \n \n2. \nFurther, after the enactment of Civil Servants Act, 1973, the services of a \ncivil servant can either be terminated under Section 11 of the Act or under Government \nServants (E&D) Rules, 1973. It is not possible to spell out any power to terminate the \nservices of an employee without notice and without assigning any reason from the provision \nof sub section (3) of Section 11 of Civil Servants Act, 1973, especially in the presence of the \nprovisions of sub-section (1) thereof regarding termination of service during the initial or \nextended period of probation. If an employee has passed through the period of probation to \nthe satisfaction of the competent authority, he is no longer a temporary employee within the \nmeanings of sub-section (3) if his employment is for an indefinite period or against a post \nwhich continues to exist for an indefinite period. \n \n3. \nIn the light of the above advice of the Justice Division services of an employee \ncan no more be terminated without notice and without assigning reason. \n[Authority.- Extract from Estt.

If the Audit Officer \nfeels any doubt about the intention underlying the orders of the punishing authority, he \nhas simply to ascertain it and act accordingly. \n[Authority.- Auditor General's letter U.O.

In \ncertain cases, government servants officiating without any condition in higher grades have \nbeen demoted on the recommendation of Departmental Promotion Committees. It is \nnecessary, therefore, that the position should be clarified. \n \n2. \nAs their name indicates, the function of Departmental Promotion Committee \nis to make recommendations in respect of promotions and there is nothing in Establishment \nDivision Office Memorandum No. 33/l/47-Ests. (SEII), dated the 29th January, 1948 which \nrelates to the constitution of these Committees to suggest that these Committees have been \ngiven the power to recommend the demotion of an officiating officer (Please see Note below). \n \n3. \nWhat Departmental Promotion Committees should do is to prepare a list \nof officers whom they consider fit for promotion. They should revise this list \nperiodically which means that they can either add to, or subtract from it. An officer who \nhas been substantively promoted to a higher BPS will not, of course, figure in this list. \nSimilarly, an officer who has been promoted to officiate in a substantive vacancy for an \nindefinite period should not appear in the list because he is for all practical purposes to \ncontinue in the higher BPS. In other words, the officers whose names will be shown in \nthe list maintained by these Committees will be those who have not been promoted to a \nhigher BPS in any capacity or who have officiated off and on or who are officiating \nagainst leave vacancies or in temporary posts of short duration and are, therefore, liable \nto revert in the normal course to the lower grade. \n[Authority.- Cabinet Secretariat, Estt.

RESIGNATION FROM GOVERNMENT SERVICE \n \n10.1 Acceptance of Resignation During \n \n \nPendency of Disciplinary Proceedings \n \nThe instructions contained in the Establishment Division Office Memorandum No. \n5/3-A/52-ME, dated the 6th January, 1953 (Annex) can be interpreted to mean that the \nresignation of a government servant, whose conduct is under enquiry, can be accepted and \nthe orders of dismissal or discharge can be passed in due course. The legal position, \nhowever, is that any orders of dismissal or discharge passed after retirement or resignation \nwill be void, and inoperative on the ground that the person concerned does not remain in \nservice as soon as his resignation has been accepted. The instructions contained in the \nOffice Memorandum, dated the 6th January, 1953 (Annex) have, therefore, been considered \nfurther by the Establishment Division in consultation with the Ministry of Law and the \nfollowing clarification is issued for the guidance of the Ministries, etc:- \n(a) \nService of a temporary government servant who has signed the undertaking \ncan be terminated by the government on 14 days' notice. \n(b) \nIf such a government servant wants to terminate his employment, he \nshould submit his resignation. \n(c) \nThe employer may or may not accept his resignation. \n(d) \nIf his resignation is not accepted on any ground, including the ground of \ndisciplinary action outstanding against him, he continues to be in service \ninspite of his having given 14 days' notice of his intention to do so. \n(e) He should not absent himself from office without leave. \n(f) \nIf his resignation is accepted, he does not continue his service, and his \npresence in office should not be insisted upon. \n(g) \nIn the event of his resignation having been accepted the disciplinary action \nstanding against him, should not be proceeded with as he cannot be \npunished for the reason that he does not continue in service. \n(h) \nThe undertaking prescribed for temporary employees does not reserve any \nright in a temporary government servant to terminate his employment by \nmere notice. He has to resign his post on the expiry of the notice and the \nresignation does not become effective unless it is accepted by \nGovernment. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M.

Division‘s \nO.M.No.6/9/79-D.I., dated 19-6-1979] \n \n10.3 Proposal for Resignation and Original \nLetter of Resignation \n \nIt has been observed that proposals for acceptance of resignation of officers of \nBPS-17 and above received in the Establishment Division for submission to the \ncompetent authority* are not accompanied by the original letter of resignation sent by the \nofficer concerned. This requires a reference back to the Ministries/Divisions for obtaining \nthe letter of resignation. All Ministries/Divisions are, therefore, requested to please \nensure that the letter of resignation of the officer in original invariably forwarded \nalongwith the Summary for acceptance by the competent authority. \n \n2. \nBesides, the Summary should contain information on the following points:- \n(i) \nWhether any dues are recoverable from the officer. \n(ii) \nWhether any disciplinary proceedings are pending or are contemplated \nagainst him. \n \n*With the delegation of powers of appointment to Secretaries of Ministries/Divisions/Head of Department \nexcept those Groups/Service administratively controlled by the Establishment Division in respect of civil \nservants in BPS 17 & 19, the position has changed. In respect of the resignation of the officers in BPS 17 to 19 \nborne on the Cadres/Groups/Service controlled by the Establishment Division and all the officers in BPS 20 and \nabove, the orders are to be followed. \n\n CHAPTER-9 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page - 939 \n \n \n(iii) Whether the officer concerned is required to serve the Government for any \nspecified period in accordance with the terms and conditions of his \nappointment. If so, whether that period has expired. If it has not expired, \nwhether any money spent on his training etc, are recoverable in \naccordance with any rule or bond executed by him. \n \n \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No.1/11/80-D.I., dated 13-2-1980]. \n \n10.4 Resignation of Temporary \nGovernment Servants \n \nSub-section (3) of section 11 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 makes the services \nof a civil servant subject to the provision of sub-section (2) liable to termination on \nfourteen days' notice or pay in lieu thereof. Cases have come to the notice of the \nEstablishment Division in which a civil servant, who intends to resign from service, gives \n14 days' notice or deposits 14 days' pay in lieu thereof. After expiry of the notice period \nor having deposited 14 days' pay in lieu thereof, and he absents himself from office \nwithout waiting for acceptance of his resignation. This is against the rules. There is no \nprovision in the Civil Servants Act, 1973, whereunder a civil servant whether permanent \nor temporary who wants to terminate his employment is required to give or can give 14 \ndays' notice or forfeit his pay to government in lieu thereof. \n \n2. \nA civil servant, permanent or temporary, who wishes to terminate his \nappointment, should, submit his resignation in writing. The resignation shall not become \neffective unless it is accepted by the competent authority. Till such time the resignation is \naccepted, the civil servant concerned continues to be in service and cannot absent himself \nfrom his duties without proper leave. The position in this regard is already explained in the \nEstablishment Division's O.M. No. 1/34/57-MS, dated the 12th November, 1957, read with \nO.M. of even number dated the 9th May, 1958. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M.No.6/3/81-RI(DI), dated 26-7-1981]. \n \n10.5 Proposals for Resignation to be Self-Contained \n \nAttention is invited to the Establishment Division's O.M. No.1/11/80-D.I, dated \nthe 13th February, 1980. It is stated that inspite of instructions contained therein, the \nMinistries/Divisions have been sending proposals for acceptance of resignation of \nofficers to the Establishment Division which are not self-contained. The proposals are \nneither sent in the form of a Summary nor are accompanied by the original letter of \nresignation of the officer. A number of such references also do not give the information \nas required in para 2 of the aforesaid O.M. This requires back reference to the \nMinistry/Division concerned causing delay in the disposal of the case. The Ministries/ \nDivisions are, therefore, requested to submit, in future, the cases of resignation strictly in \naccordance with the instructions contained in the Establishment Division's O.M. quoted \nabove and may also keep in view the orders contained in O.M. No. 6/3/81-R.I, dated the \n13th February, 1982. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 15/11/84-R.2, dated 28-5-1984]. \n \n \n\n Page - 940 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) CHAPTER-9 \n \n \n \n10.6 Procedure for Processing of Cases \nof Resignation of Officers \n \nThe Ministries/Divisions have been sending proposals for acceptance of resignation \nof officers to the Establishment Division after the officers have been relieved of their duties. \nIn most of the cases, it has come to the notice of Establishment Division that government \nservants usually tender resignation from government service on 14 days‘ notice or forfeit pay \nin lieu thereof and absent themselves from duties without waiting for the acceptance of their \nresignations by the competent authority. If a person has submitted resignation from service he \ncontinues to be in service, inspite of his having given 14 days notice, till his resignation is \naccepted by the competent authority. If he absents himself from duty he is liable to be \nproceeded against under the Efficiency and Discipline Rules, 1973 which may also result in \ndismissal from government service. \n \n2. \nMinistries/Divisions are, therefore, requested to forward the cases for \nacceptance of resignation to the Establishment Division well in time and should not \nrelieve the resigning officer from his duties till his resignation from service is accepted by \nthe competent authority. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 15/6/85-R.2 dated 3-3-1986]. \n \n10.7 Absence from Duty Without Leave \n \nCases have come to notice where government servants have applied for leave, \nbut before the leave was sanctioned, have absented themselves from duty and left their \nstation without permission, while government dues were payable by them on various \naccounts. In some cases, government servants have proceeded on short leave, and \nsubsequently applied for extension of leave, which was not granted, whereupon they have \nresigned their appointments without clearing the government dues outstanding against \nthem. Such behaviour on the part of government servants is not only undesirable but also \ncontravenes the provisions of the Pakistan Essential Service (Maintenance) Act, 1952, \nwhich makes all employment under government an essential service. If any government \nservant, without reasonable excuse, abandons his employment or absents himself from \nwork, he is liable to conviction to be punished with imprisonment and fine vide section 5 \nand 7 of the Act. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, requested that the attention of all government servants may \nkindly be drawn to the provisions of the Act and they may be warned that any \ncontravention of the Act renders them liable to prosecution. A number of prosecutions \nhave already been instituted in the court and others are in contemplation. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M.

An implication of \nthese instructions is that joint representations cannot be made to the government. It has \nbeen observed that some government servants have submitted representations in \ncontravention of the spirit of these instructions in that they have individually signed \ncopies of petitions containing the same text. Government is of the view that although \nthese petitions are signed and sent separately, they are, in effect, tantamount to joint \nrepresentations. No action can, therefore, be taken on such representations. \n \n2. \nThe correct procedure is that, if any category of government servants have \na grievance of a common nature, they should bring the matter to the notice of the head of \nthe department concerned so that he may take such action, as may be necessary in the \ncircumstances of the case. \n \n3. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to advise officers and members of the \nstaff under their control to keep these instructions in mind while making representations \nin respect of a common grievance. As joint representations are not permitted, a breach of \nthese instructions will amount to an act of indiscipline. \n[Authority.- Estt.

While this may well be within the existing rules, it is not in \nharmony with demands of a democratic order as it infringes upon the privilege of Prime \nMinister's Secretariat to forward grievances and requests to the quarters concerned for \naction and redressal under the directives of the Prime Minister as, indeed, it takes away, \nfrom the civil servants an opportunity of access to the Chief Executive of the country \nthrough the quickest means possible. \n \n2. \nIt is, therefore, advised that steps may please be taken whereby officials \nwhose cases are referred for redressal by Prime Minister's Secretariat are not victimized \nand harassed on that account. \n[Authority.- Estt.

Moreover, it would not be fair and \nproper to submit such cases to the appellate authority for rejection which could have been \nwithheld by the authority. An appeal which is not entertainable, if transmitted to and rejected by \nthe appellate authority, would clearly mean that the appeal has been entertained. \n \n3. \nAll Ministries/Divisions are to exercise greatest care while transmitting \nappeals to the appellate authority under rule 3 of the Civil Servants (Appeal) Rules, 1977. \nThe appellant should be informed accordingly where appeal is withheld under rule 7 of \nthe Civil Servants (Appeal) Rules, 1977. \n[Authority:- Estab.

It has been noticed that the Ministries/ \nDivisions etc. do not deal with such cases on the plea that the government servants have \nfiled suits and the matter is ‗subjudice‘. \n \n2. \nA civil suit or a civil petition by a government servant does not preclude \nredress for the aggrieved government servant. It has, therefore, been decided that the \nMinistries/Divisions should not refrain from considering the cases of government servants \nwho have filed civil suits against government for redress of their grievances. Cases of such \ngovernment servants should continue to be considered by the Ministries/Divisions and the \ngrievances of the government servants removed if the merits of their cases so warrant. \n[Authority.- Estt.

In \ncases where Writ Petitions/Civil Suits are filed, they should be contested \non the point of jurisdiction. \n(ii) \nIn Appeals/Writ Petitions/Civil Suits against orders passed by the \nMinistries/Divisions, the responsibility of defending such cases is of the \nMinistry / Division / Attached Department concerned. However, in view of \nthe fact that Establishment Division is made proforma party in most of the \ncases, the cases are referred routinely to Establishment Division which \nresults in loss of time. It is clarified that where the final orders have been \npassed by the Ministry/ Division other than the Establishment Division no \nreference should be made to the Establishment Division unless there is a \nspecific point of reference, in which case the issue should be clearly \nspecified and necessary papers supplied as annex in a self contained \nreference. It would not be possible for the Establishment Division to \nrespond to general queries or a general request for advice in such cases. \n(iii) In cases where the Ministries/Divisions are the principal respondent, \narrangement for submission of parawise comments well in time and \nappointment of counsels to defend the case should be made in consultation \nwith the Law Division. The Federal Service Tribunal is presently not \nhappy about the delays in filing parawise comments and the proper defence \nof the cases before them by the Ministries/ Divisions. \n[(iii-a) The government departments should assure that no case goes \nunrepresented before any court/tribunal. A responsible officer well \nconversant with the case, alongwith government counsel should always be \ndeputed to represent the government and assist the court/tribunal on the \nbasis of departmental record and the policy stand taken in the case.] \n(iv) In defending the appeals before the Service Tribunals, the question of \nlimitation should be carefully examined, and the appeals contested on this \nground where appeals are time barred. \n(v) \nThe Ministries/Divisions are also required to examine those cases which \nare decided against the government by the Service Tribunal in their \ncapacity as the main respondent, with a view to filing an appeal before the \nSupreme Court in consultation with the Law Division directly.

The Prime Minster has desired that all \nlegal remedies be exhausted in cases of service matter litigations as any \ninterim decision becomes precedent for all future cases. \n[Authority.- Estt. Division‘s O.M. No. 14/5/80-Lit. Misc., dated 7-3-1982]. \n \nNote.- For detailed instructions regarding the conduct of cases of the Federal Government in \ncourts (including service appeals before the Service Tribunal), see Appendix ‘F’ of the \nSecretariat Instructions (2004 Edition Pages 119-129). \n \n6.2 \nLetter of Attorney General of Pakistan Regarding Implementation \n \n \nof Orders of the Federal Service Tribunal and High Courts Appealed \n \n \nAgainst in Supreme Court of Pakistan \nIt has been observed that orders passed in service matters by the Federal Service \nTribunal decided against the government are not implemented as per directions given in \nthe respective orders. The government departments postpone the implementation of the \norders of the Federal Service Tribunal on the grounds that CPLA is preferred against the \norder and wait for the disposal of the matter by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. \nThe government departments are hereby informed that unless the order of FST is \nsuspended specifically by an order of the Supreme Court, the same must be implemented \nforthwith. However, a clause may be added in the implementation orders that it shall be \nsubject to the final decision of the matter by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. \nThis eventuality of informing the government departments has arisen because recently the \nHonorable Supreme Court of Pakistan has started taking a very serious note of this fact \nand in some of the cases, heavy costs up to Rs. 50,000/- has been imposed by the \nHonorable Supreme Court of Pakistan simply for the reason that the government \ndepartment has not implemented the orders during the pendency of the CPLA, without \nthere being any order of suspension of the orders appealed against. The matter must be \nattended to urgently in order to avoid any further financial loss to the national exchequer. \nThus all the matters which are decided by the FST or which are pending in the Honorable \nSupreme Court of Pakistan or which may be instituted before the Honorable Supreme \nCourt of Pakistan against any order passed by the FST, directing the reinstatement or \ngranting some other relief to a civil servant, be complied with forthwith, unless the order \nappealed against is specifically suspended by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. \n \n2. \nThe Secretary Establishment is further requested to convey this message to \nall the departments concerned of the government in respect of which the service matters \ncrop up before the FST or before the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan for necessary \naction. \n[Authority:- Office of the Attorney General for Pakistan's DO No. 1(5)2006-AGP, dated 2-3-2006] \n \n Inserted vide Establishment Division‘s O.M No. F.2/9/2016-Lit.I, dated 24-05-2016. \n\nCHAPTER-10 ESTACODE (EDITION-2021) Page- 971 \n \n \n \n6.3 \nLetter of Chairman FST Making Suggestions \nto Reduce Pending Litigation \n \nThe worthy Chairman, Federal Service Tribunal vide his d.o letter dated 26th \nJuly,2019 (Copy not reproduced) has invited attention of Secretary Establishment Division \nto the following:— \n \nDecisions on appeal are delayed for want of parawise comments from \nMinistries/Divisions; \n \nGovernment departments are not represented at appropriate higher level; \n \nImplementation of judgments/Decisions is subjected to unreasonable delay \nby Ministries/Divisions. \n2. \nThe worthy Chairman has, therefore, suggested that a ‗Special Cell‘ may be \ncreated in all Ministries/Divisions at the appropriate level to keep the Establishment Division \ninformed on regular basis about pendency or disposal of the appeals in the Tribunal. \n3. \nInstructions of the Establishment Division are already available in \nESTACODE 2015 at pages 1047 to 1051, emphasizing timely submission of parawise \ncomments, projection of the Government viewpoint through responsible officers and \nimplementation of the judgments that attained finality or not suspended/set aside by the \nSupreme Court. These instructions are in addition to Appendix-F to Secretariat Instructions. \n4. \nMinistries/Divisions are requested to strictly observe the instructions already \nholding the field and may also strengthen their own mechanisms to watch progress of Court \ncases in the light of Paragraph 12 of Appendix-F to Secretariat Instructions which inter alia \nprovides that,— \n \n―It is, therefore, imperative that in each Division/Department, a Section, \nhereinafter referred to as the Litigation Section, should be earmarked for dealing \nwith or co-ordinating the litigation cases.
