Permanent Personnel
(i) Seniority – Seniority in the new trade will be determined by the order of merit in
which they are selected for re-appt. Past continuous service will count for pension, carry
forward of leave and pay fixation, and individuals will be allowed to retain a lien on
permanent appointments when released for appointment within or outside department.
(ii) Lien – As regards lien for pmt Govt employees, it is an accepted principle that
the lien of a Government servant may not be terminated against his will. The Lien means
the title of a Govt servant to hold on regular basis either immediately or on the
termination of periods of absence, a post including a tenure post to which he has been
appointed on regular basis and on which he is not on probation as on a transfer of Govt
servant to another post / organisation he is not required to be kept on probation, he
requires lien on the new post from the date of his transfer. His lien in the previous
organisation stands terminated automatically and he has no option for reversion to the
earlier organisation. Authy. FR.9 (13) and clarification of DOP&T circulated vide Addl
director General of Manpower/ MP4 (Civil), AG‟s Branch letter NO. 15590/1/MP4(Civ)
dated 13 Feb 2008.
24. Re-appointment applications, on receipt from unit will be scrutinised by Recruiting Sec
(GREF Centre) and eligibility checked by ER Group of GREF Records for finalisation. Based
on recruitment programme, call letters will be issued to the eligible candidates for attending the
interview/trade test by the GREF Centre.
25. As brought out above, departmental candidates have to compete with open market
candidates during the written test/interview. Even at the scrutiny stage, before a call letter is
issued, applications with particular reference to qualification, percentage or marks and
experience are considered in details vis-à-vis the open market candidates, call letters are issued
after taking all these factors into consideration. Therefore, merely applying for re-appointment
with a merit of say 40% marks at the matriculation/graduation level examination does not
automatically make the departmental candidates eligible for the post of LDC/UDC when a
criteria of minimum 60% marks is fixed for open market candidates. While some weightage is
given to the fact that departmental candidates have gained some experience and knowledge of
working in department, merit of the candidate based on his performance in qualifying
examination mainly forms the basis for considering him for a call letter. This aspect may also be
impressed upon the candidates when they apply for re-appointment.
26. On re-appointment of an individual, posting order will be issued accordingly. But
posting of the re-appointed individual will be implemented when re-appointment orders and TT
sheets duly signed and approved by the appointing authority i.e Cdr GREF Centre are received
by the unit.
