G.I., Dept. of Pers. & Trg., O.M.No.22011/1/2011-Estt(D), dated 23.04.2015

Subject:Timely and advance action in convening of Departmental Promotion Committee meeting in terms of Model Calendar-regarding.

The undersigned is directed to state that with a view to having the approved select panels for promotion ready in advance in a time-bound manner, this Department has issued a Model Calendar for DPCs vide OM No.22011/9/98-Estt.(D) dated 8th September, 1998 as modified vide OM No. 22011/4/2013-Estt.(D) dated 28.01.2015. An indicative pattern has been provided in the Model Calendar for various events involved in the pre/post DPC related actions.All the Ministries/Departments have been impressed upon from time to time by the Department to adhere to the prescribed time-line so as to ensure that the panel is ready in time and is utilised as and when the vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy year.

Appointment Committee of Cabinet has viewed it seriously that the DPCs are not being convened in time. Delay in promotion effects the manpower planning and impedes the career progression of the employees. The delays in conduct of DPC negate the very purpose of the Model Calendar for DPCs issued vide Office Memorandum No.22011/9/98-Estt.(D) dated 8th September, 1998 as modified vide OM No.22011/4/2013-Estt.(D) dated 28/01/2015.

The objective of timely promotions of employees in various Ministries/Departments can be achieved only by granting the promotion in time.

All the Ministries/Departments are, therefore, once again advised to ensure strict compliance of instructions in order to achieve the desired objectives of timely convening of DPCs/preparation of approved select panels within the prescribed time frame.
