POLICY GUIDE LINES ON DEPUTATION : GREF PERSONNEL
General
1. A large number of GREF personnel opt for deputation to other Central/State
Government Departments within the country. Due to overwhelming response of our personnel
for deputation due to obvious reasons, it is considered essential to lay down policy guidelines
with a view to ensure that right type of personnel only are given chance and deserving personnel
are not overlooked.
Aim
2. To evolve a uniform policy in selecting deserving candidates for deputation and lay
down policy guidelines on deputation of subordinate staff of BRO.
Deputation versus Outside Employment

separate set of rules. Central Government employees are permitted to proceed on deputation to
Central/State Governments only. However, they may also be permitted to such Government
Bodies which have been exempted from the provision of immediate absorption by the
concerned Ministry. Deputation to Central Public Enterprises and Central Autonomous Bodies
