A number of representations have been received in this Department indicating the anomaly as per which many officials who are senior as per the Final CSL-2003(extended) have been working as UDCs, whereas many of their juniorsare working as ad-hoc Assistants. In order to overcome this anomaly, it has been decided with the approval of the competent authority to promote the remaining UDCs of SL-2003(extended) ( who are yet to be promoted till date) as Assistants on ad-hoc basis till further orders. All the concerned Departments/ Ministries are, therefore, requested to promote the remaining UDCs of SL-2003(extended) as Assistants on ad-hoc basis.

The ad-hoc promotion/apPointment is subject to the following conditions:-

i) The ad-hoc appointment shall not confer on the appointees any right to continue in the grade indefinitely or inclusion in the Select List or to claim seniority in the Assistant grade of CSS;
ii) Ad-hoc appointments may be terminated at any point of time without giving any reason therefore;
iii) The appointment on ad-hoc basis will take effect from the date of taking over charge to the post of Assistant of CSS.
iv) The ad-hoc appointees would attend and qualify the mandatory training as and when nominated by CS.I (training) section to this Department,(if not already done), failing which they shall have no claim for inclusion in the regular Select List of Assistant.

5. Procedure regarding deployment of surplus officials:-

A cadre unit consists of sub-cadre units as well. Choices of the UDCs of the sub-cadre who are to be promoted as Assistant may be obtained and deployed in the cadre unit/sub-cadre units. For example, if 10 UDCs are covered in the list who are to be promoted to Assistant grade and only 6 posts are available in the cadre unit and sub-cadre units put together, the 6 ad-hoc Assistant (senior most) shall be allotted as per their choices and the details of the remaining 4 officials Uunior most) along with their preferences shall be sent to CS.II Division for their onward deployment in those cadre units where there are surplus vacancies.
