The purpose of the Draft Exposure is to regulate the remuneration of Central Government employees who are appointed on a contract basis.

The Draft Exposure covers all Central Government employees who are appointed on a contract basis, regardless of their designation or level.

Contract-based employees are hired for a specific period, and their remuneration is usually fixed for that period. The regulation of remuneration ensures that contract-based employees are compensated fairly and in line with their responsibilities.

The key features of the Draft Exposure include the definition of contract-based employment, the criteria for determining remuneration, the process for fixing remuneration, and the factors to be considered while determining remuneration.

The Draft Exposure is not retroactive and will only apply to new contracts. However, it is likely that existing contract-based employees may be affected when their contract is up for renewal or extension.

The relevant government department or agency will be responsible for implementing the regulation of remuneration in line with the Draft Exposure.

The effective date of the Draft Exposure has not yet been fixed. However, once the Draft Exposure is finalized, it is expected to become effective immediately.

The Draft Exposure is open for public comments and feedback. The public can provide their comments and feedback through the official channels, and their input will be considered while finalizing the Draft Exposure.
