OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Policy to be followed in case where persons refuse
promotion to a higher grade.
The undersigned is directed to invite the attention of the
Ministries/Departments to the provisions contained in this Department's O.M.
No.1/3/69-Estt.(D) dt. 22.11.75 on the above subject and to say that this issue
was discussed in the meeting of the National Council. It was observed that in
many cases persons refuse promotion purely to gain monetary benefit specially
in cases where the increment of the officer is due in the lower grade shortly.
This it was felt causes considerable hardship to many Govt. employees due to
the chain reaction fo postponing of the promotion of officers down the line and
awaiting promotion. In order to discourage such refusal of promotion, the Government
issued orders laying down that those officers who refuse promotion should not
be issued any fresh offer of promotion for a period of six months from the date
of such refusal.
2. Govt. have recently taken a decision to further liberalise the
formula of fixation of pay, in order to avoid anomalies in the matter of
fixation of pay. These orders are being separately issued.
3. In view of the fact that Government have decided to further
liberalise the procedure of fixation pay of officers, and also to reduce cases
of refusal of promotion to the barest minimum which adversely affects of the
promotion prospects of officers working down the line, it has now been decided
to modify the provisions contained in this Deptt's O.M. No.1/3/69-Estt.(D)
dated 22.11.75 mentioned in para 1 above, to the effect that from the date of
issue of this order, refusal of promotion by an officer should entail that no
fresh offer of promotion would be issued to him for a period of one year,
instead of six months as provided for in the earlier instructions.
4. It is further clarified that in cases where the reasons adduced
by the officer for this refusal of promotion are not acceptable to the
appointing authority, then he should enforce the promotion on the officer and
in case the officer still refuses to be promoted, then even disciplinary
action can be taken against him for refusing to obey his orders.
5. These instructions take effect from the date of issue of this
letter.
6. In so far as the officers working in the Indian Audit and
Accounts Deptt., these orders are being issued with the concurrence of the
Comptroller and Auditor General of India .
7. Ministry of Finance etc. are therefore, requested to bring the
above decisions to the notice of all officers working under them for their
information and compliance.
