OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Furnishing DPC proposal to the UPSC in a time bound manner as laid down in DoP&T OM dated 24.03.2011- Regarding.
The undersigned is directed to invite reference to
the Department of Personnel and Training Office Memorandum No.
22011/1/2011-Estt(D) dated March 24, 2011 requesting all the
Ministries/Departments to complete all the pending DPC proposals in
respect of previous years upto 31.3.2012. It was also impressed upon
that for the vacancy years 2012-13 onwards, timeline as prescribed in
Model Calendar for DPC circulated vide this Department’s OM No.
22011/9/98-Estt.(D) dated 08.9.1998 should be adhered to for strict
compliance. All the Ministries/Departments have been requested from
time-to-time for strict compliance of the instructions in order to
achieve the desired objectives of timely convening of DPCs/preparation
of approved select panels within the prescribed time frame.
2. The Union Public Service Commission has pointed
out that while reviewing the up-to-date progress of DPC meetings
convened for various Departments in consultation with the UPSC in
pursuance of the DoP&T guideline dated 24.03.2011, it was observed
that almost 700 posts/grades of the organized services wherein DPCs are
convened in consultation with UPSC, in only 40 odd cases panels for the
year 2012-13 have been got prepared till June, 2012. Further, in 120
cases the Ministries/Departments have got their approved panels upto the
year 2011-12. Most of the Ministries/Departments have failed to submit
up-to-date proposals even for the year 2011-12. Further, in some cases
no DPC proposals have been received after 2008-09 or even earlier.
3. Another important area required to be addressed is
deficient DPC proposals furnished by Ministries/Departments to the
UPSC. The UPSC has pointed out that the introduction of Single Window
System for accepting only complete proposals has significantly improved
the situation, as may be seen from the fact that a record number of 523
DPCs were held under the aegis of the Commission during the year
2011-12. In comparison, the figures for the previous three financial
years are 351,485 and 447 respectively. Further, average time taken for
disposal of a DPC case has also drastically come down to 53 days as
compared to 120 days taken normally earlier. Significantly, in a number
of cases the DPCs were held within a month from the date of receipt of
proposal from the Ministries/Departments. Thus needless to say that the
deficient proposals also contribute heavily for delay in preparation of
approved panels.
4. These undesirable trends negate the very purpose
of Model Calendar for DPCs, prescribed vide this Department’s O.M.
No.22011/9/1998-Est(D) dated September 8,1998. Delay in holding the DPCs
not only affect the manpower planning in various Ministries/Departments
but also impedes the career progression across the board and is the
main reason for litigation before CAT and various High Courts.
5.All the Ministries/Departments are again counselled
to ensure 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.
6. Ministries/Departments are requested to give wide
circulation to these instructions to ensure strict adherence to the
time-schedule prescribed as per the Model Calendar for DPCs.
