Also, some discrepancies have been found in the information furnished by some of the cadre units. The clarification on these issues is as under:

Clarification : As per DOPTs 0M No 22011/5/86-Estt(D) dated 10th April, 1989 (Consolidated Guidelines on DPC), DPC in all such cases should be held and sealed cover procedure should be adopted as laid down in the O.M.

Clarification : As per DOPTs 0M No 22011/4/98-Estt(D) dated 12th October, 1998, DPC in respect of such officers should be held but as they have retired/left the service before the conduct of DPC, their order/notification for promotion need not be issued. Many Ministries/Departments have issued notification/orders in respect of such officers, which is not as per the 0M mentioned above. Such Ministries/Departments are requested to issue necessary corrigendum in this regard. Only the fitness of these employees is to be informed to CS.I Division for finalization of Select List.
Issue 3 : What should be the date of effect of promotion in respect of persons included in the zone of promotion for inclusion in the Select List of Section Officers’ Grade of CSS for the years 2009/2010/2011 against Seniority Quota
Clarification: Promotion orders/notification should be issued from prospective effect only not prior to the date of DPC. Many Ministries/Departments have issued promotion order w.e.f. 1.7.2009, 1.7.2010 and 1.7.2010 for the respective Select Lists, which is not as per DPC guidelines. Such Ministries/Departments are requested to issue necessary corrigendum in this regard.

The mistake may be rectified by issuing of a corrigendum.
