Blanket ban on recruitments, transfers, promotions likely
A blanket ban will be imposed on recruitments,
promotions and transfers of the state government employees till the division of
Andhra Pradesh is completed. The ban will come into effect as soon as the bill
to create Telangana state is enacted and approved by the President. There will
be total freeze on creation of new posts, conversion of temporary posts into
permanent till the process of division is completed.
The guidelines to be followed to
transfer nearly six lakh state government employees between two states are
under preparation by the department of personnel and training under Ministry of
Personnel.
According to the communication conveyed by the Centre, the state
government should constitute a reorganization committee headed by the chief
secretary or equivalent rank officer to deal with all service matters. The
reorganization division will look after the transfer policy to be implemented
by the two states.
As per the guidelines prepared by
the Centre, there will be a blanket ban on all new recruitments, transfers and
even promotions of the employees till the sharing of the employees is
completed.
The allocation of personnel
should be done under the supervision of a state advisory committee which
will
be notified by the central government. The composition of the committee would
be like this. A senior retired civil servant of the rank of chief secretary or
equivalent would be chairman of the committee and chief secretaries of two
states or their nominees and an officer of additional secretary level in the
central government should be the members of the committee. An officer not below
the rank of secretary in the state government would coordinate the transfer of employees
as member secretary of the committee.
The state advisory committee will
go through the details of sanctioned posts category-wise, cadre-wise,
grade-wise and finalize the distribution of the posts between two states
keeping in view the administrative structure of the new state.
After the distribution of posts
is finalized, the panel will make a tentative final allocation in respect of
all employees who are to be allocated on a final basis to either of the states.
While doing so, reservation policy as applicable will be kept in mind.
The state advisory committee
would then circulate the tentative final allocation list to the respective
state governments for information of their employees and for submission of
representations, if any, by the employees.
After this, the committee would
consider the representations made by the employees against the tentative final
allocation list and would forward its recommendations to the central government
for taking a final view. Based on the advice received by the Centre, the
tentative allocation would be made final and the same would be passed on to the
respective state governments for issuing of final allocation orders.
Allocation of posts
Posts related to a territory
which includes areas like village, tehsil, district or region including
projects and undertakings, where such territories have been transferred in
their entirety to the particular state are deemed to be posts belong to the
state. All other state-level posts which are not exclusively relatable to areas
going to only one state like posts in Secretariat, state legislature, State
Public Service Commission, state judiciary, state police, medical and other
services may be provisionally allocated on the basis of the ratio of the
districts between the successive states.
Distribution of personnel
Those employees serving in
village, revenue, district or region are liable for transfer within such area
and are part of such territorial cadres, are deemed to be employees of that
area and the state. The lists of personnel for provisional allocation to
successive state will be prepared by the reorganization committee keeping in
view the preferences given by the employees and other relevant factors like
maintaining the balance within each cadre, category of posts, domicile status,
ethnic affinity etc.
Options to employees
All state government employees
working in the state will be asked to give their option with regard to transfer
of services. However, there is no guarantee that their preference will be taken
into consideration in the final allocation as it would be done in line with
guidelines laid down by the state advisory committee working under the direct
supervision of the central government.
In case both husband and wife are
government employees, both of them would be allocated to one state as far as
possible. Those who are having two or less years of service will be exempted
from transferring to different state. Physically challenged staff will be given
special option to choose their choice of place. The entire process of transfer
of services should complete in less than one year, positively.
