However, as desired by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Contempt Petition No.314/2016, instructions in pursuance were issued by Department of Personnel and Training on 30.9.2016 not to rely upon Office Memorandum of 10.08.2010 for implementation of own merit concept in promotion for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Due to this, there may be administrative difficulties while considering cases for promotion of employees, including Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, where selections in promotion have already been made on own merit or are to be made by applying own merit by the concerned cadre controlling authority.
Promotion Rules and Regulations in Government Services are guidelines set by the government for the promotion of employees working within government organizations. These rules ensure that promotions are based on merit and performance and provide equal opportunity for all employees to progress in their careers.
Eligibility for promotion in government services is based on a set of criteria that varies from one level to another. Generally, it includes factors such as tenure, education, performance, experience, and seniority.
Depending on the level and category of the job in question, there may be specific educational qualifications required for promotion in government services. These qualifications are usually related to the field of work and vary from one department to another.
Promotions in government services are generally assessed and evaluated through a performance appraisal system. This system is used to gauge an employee’s performance, behavior, and achievements in the workplace. Based on these factors, promotions are granted to employees who meet the eligibility criteria.
There are usually no limitations on the number of promotions an employee can receive in government services. However, eligibility for promotion may become more stringent at higher levels of responsibility, and there may be a limited number of available positions.
