SC, ST and OBC in Higher Posts of Officers

SC, ST and OBC in Higher Posts of Officers

The number of officers presently working as Secretary, Additional Secretary, Joint Secretary and Director level posts, in the Government of India and the number of SC and ST officers on these posts and their percentage, as on 14.3.2011, as per the information available, is given below:

Secy	Addl. Secy	Joint Secy	Director
Total No. of officers	149	108	477	590
No. of SCs	-	2	31	17
% age of SCs	-	1.85	6.49	2.88
No. of STs	4	2	15	7
% age of STs	2.68	1.85	3.14	1.18

As regards the number of OBC officers, it is stated that data regarding OBC status of the officers was not being obtained at the time of appointment of officers prior to 1994 and is therefore not available.

The posts of Secretary, Additional Secretary and Joint Secretary in the Ministries/Departments of Government of India are deputation posts with the exception of posts in the Ministry of External Affairs and are filled under the Central Staffing Scheme. The officers from various cadres empanelled to hold such posts and who opt for deputation are appointed under Central Staffing Scheme. The posts of Director (excluding the posts which are in the cadre of Central Secretariat Service) are filled under Central Staffing Scheme. There is no provision for reservation for SCs/STs/OBCs in these posts. As officers, on the above posts, are appointed on deputation basis from various cadres, the percentage of SC/ST officers on these posts need not be same as in their respective cadres. However, at the time of empanelment, every effort is made to empanel officers belonging to SCs/STs categories, if necessary, by adopting liberal benchmarks as compared to officers from General category.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject :-       Submission of Immovable Property Return for the year 2009 – List of defaulting officers of CSS

------

      The undersigned is directed to refer this Department’s O.M. of even number dated 22nd November 2010 and subsequent reminder dated 3rd January 2011 on the subject mentioned above.

2.       In terms of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, under Secretary and above level officers of the Central Secretariat Service are required to submit annual immovable property return to this Division. The Immovable Property Return (IPR) pertaining to a year is required to be submitted latest by 31st January of the following year. Accordingly, the Immovable Property Return (IPR) for the year 2009 should have been submitted to this Division by 31st January 2010. However, despite reminders and publishing the list of the defaulting officers in the website of this Department, still a large number of officers have not furnished their IPR for the year 2009 to this Department. It is more than a year now and there is no justification in not submitting the return till date.

3.       The list of officers whose IPR for the year 2009 has not yet been received in this Division is posted in the website of this Department http://www.persmin.nic.in Central Services Wing CS Division Central Secretariat Services Property Returns. Ministries/ Departments are, therefore, requested to obtain the IPR for the year 2009 from the defaulting officers presently on their rolls and send to this Department latest by 31st March 2011.

4.       If any officer fails to submit the IPR, Ministries/ Departments may initiate disciplinary action under the relevant rules. The attention of the Ministries/ Departments is also drawn to the Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) format which provides for indicating the date of submission of IPR. The date of submission of the IPR may be verified from the records and if it is found that an officer has failed to submit the IPR or submitted after the due date, the Reporting/ Reviewing Officers may take this into account while writing the APAR.
