COUNTING OF SERVICE RENDERED AGAINST HIGHER POST UNDER SECTION 10 OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS ACT, 1973

GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN
CABINET SECRETARIAT
ESTABLISHMENT DIVISION

No. 3/40/2007-R-2                                                        Islamabad, the 12th November, 2007

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:          COUNTING OF SERVICE  RENDERED  AGAINST HIGHER POST UNDER SECTION 10 OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS ACT, 1973

The undersigned is directed to  state that Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 reads as under:-

“10.     Posting and transfer.- Every civil servant shall be liable to serve anywhere within or outside Pakistan, in any equivalent or higher post under the Federal Government, or any Provincial Government, or local authority, or a corporation or body set up or established by any such Government;

Provided that nothing contained in this section shall apply to a civil servant             recruited specifically to serve in a particular area or region:

Provided further that, where a civil servant is required to serve in a post             outside his service or cadre, his terms and conditions of service as to his pay             shall not be less favourable than those to which he would have been entitled             if he had not been so required to serve.”

2.                     A point was raised how the service rendered by a civil servant posted against a higher post under Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 would be counted for the purpose of promotion to higher post of the said civil servant.

3.                     The matter has been given careful consideration in the Establishment Division. It has been observed that according to Section 5 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 all appointments are required to be made in the prescribed manner i.e.  on the recommendations of  appropriate  Departmental Promotion / Selection Committee(s) or Board(s), as the case may be and with the approval of the designated appointing authorities followed by a notification promoting such civil servant to higher grade.

4.                     Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 is a liability provision i.e.  a civil servant is liable to serve in an equivalent  or higher post.  Promotion to a higher post and holding temporary charge of a post are two different aspects.  Legally, a person is not in a higher grade until his promotion to the higher post is duly notified and charge of the higher post is formally assumed by him.

5.                     It has therefore been decided that the service rendered by a civil servant against higher post under Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973 cannot be treated at par with the service rendered by regularly promoted officers  in the higher scale  for the purpose of promotion to the next higher grade.

6.                     The decision may be brought to the notice of all concerned.

Proposal of Establishment Division to Finance Division to constitute a committee to formulate a uniform time scale promotion policy applicable on civil servants working under the Federal Governmen

ESTABLISHMENT DIVISION
******

No. 1/13/96-R-6                                                                            Islamabad, the 7th May, 2014/

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:           Appeal Under Section-4 Of The Service Tribunal Act, 1973.


                        The undersigned is directed to refer t-II/2012-144-R.I/2013, dated 29th March, 2013 on the above subject and to say that at present employees working in Ministries/ Divisions/Departments are of the view that up-gradation of posts means automatic up-gradation of its incumbents. This concept is incorrect, Establishment Division’s O.M. No. 5(1)/67-DV, dated 16.10.1967, read with O.M. No. 8/130/91-R-I, dated 12th May, 1992 (copies enclosed) provides that up-gradation of posts means abolition of previous post and creation of new post in higher scale. Appointment to up-graded posts will have to be made in the manner prescribed in the Recruitment Rules approved by Establishment Division/FPSC.

2.                     In the instant appeal & in many other appeals / writ petitions received in Establishment Division, it is observed that employees who are not promoted since long are inspired from up-gradation of other posts and hence, they aspire for up-gradation of their posts several employees, whose cases were not covered under up-gradation policy and hence rejected by this Division or by their parent Ministry/Division file writ petitions in courts praying for up-gradation of their posts. Due to above referred court cases the work load of Establishment Division/ Finance Division has considerably been increased.

3.                     Establishment Division is of the view that in order to decrease the number of court cases and bring uniformity, Finance Division may constitute a committee comprising expert members to formulate a uniform time scale promotion policy applicable on civil servants working under the Federal Government.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:           POSTING AND TRANSFER OF OFFICERS.

                        The undersigned is directed to invite the attention to the instructions issued by this Division vide O.M. NO. 16/1/85-R.2, dated 11th November, 1985 and D.O. letter No. 6/3//92-OMG-II, dated 6th December, 1993 (copies enclosed) and to state that instances have come to the notice of the Government where officer(s) on promotion or transfer to other Ministry(s) / Division(s) are not relieving promptly by the offices where they were serving to enable them to take up their new assignments. Similarly, in certain cases, the transferred officers are not taken on charge / accepted in their new assignments on one pretext or the other. This tendency of not honoring the Notifications issued by this Division, in public interest, creates administrative difficulties / problems for the Ministries / Divisions where such officers are being posted.

2.                     In view of above it is once again reiterated that whenever orders of transfer / posting of an officer are received these should be implemented in letter and spirit. In case of noncompliance this Division will be constrained to take action against the officers under transfer.
