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.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Shri V.Narayanasamy in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
