Retired Government Employees can now get their missed Promotion benefits
Retired government employees who missed out on their promotions due to late meetings of the committees deciding on such departmental elevations will now be able to avail its post-retirement benefits.
“Instructions have been issued to all ministries and departments to give benefit of promotion to those employees who missed it due to late meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC),” an official in the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
It would not be in order if eligible employees, who were within the zone of consideration for the relevant year but are not actually in service when the DPC is being held, are not considered while preparing year-wise zone of consideration or panel, as per the DoPT order.
Consequently, their juniors are considered (in their place) for promotions, who would not have been in the zone of consideration if the DPC had been held in time, it said.
“Appointment Committee of Cabinet has observed that DPCs often do not consider such eligible officers who are retiring before the occurrence of the vacancy in the panel year,” the order said, adding that this “undesirable trend negate the very purpose” of government’s existing instructions for inclusion of such employees.
There have been reports that some of the eligible retired employees are not being given the benefit of promotion which they missed due to late DPCs. In fact the DPCs were being held very late, the official said.
The DoPT has asked all central government ministries and departments under it to ensure “strict compliance” of its instructions to include retiring employees for promotions in case the DPCs are delayed.
Such retired officials would, however, have no right for actual promotion, the DoPT official said.

The ESI Corporation, New Delhi-2 abruptly stopped promotion from the cadre of Joint Director to Director from June 2011. No DPC was held in December 2011 Dec 2013 though there was about 50 vacancies. About 26 JDs were given Director promotion on Adhoc basis in May2013.About 50 JDs including the 26 were promoted as Director in August 2014, ignoring several JDs retired from June 2011 to July 2014.So, I request the DOPT to kindly issue special instructions to ESI Corporation on this issue so that the retired officers get their due pension benefits.

DoP&T OM No. 22011/4/98-Estt.(D) dated 12-10-1998 was misinterpreted by Railway Board/DG,RPF and denied even to follow Honble SC’s Judgment Order passed by Railway Board Through its Order-Railway Board Orders issued under RBE No.27 of 2007/IREM –Para 228- issued in lieu of Honorable Supreme Court of India Judgment Order in SLP(C) No. 4222 of 2006 is not being adhered to by the Railway Board, RPF. Had the Railway Board, RPF Directorate followed RPF Rules, DoP&T Orders in true spirit in regard to maintenance of seniority list of Inspectors at DG, RPF Office on all India basis and conducted DPCs as contained in RPF Rules, most of the Inspectors, adhoc-departmental ASCs could have got promoted much earlier and could have retired as that of their juniors retired in Senior Administration Scale of Pay/Pension, and would have been benefitted of their just pension at par with their junior. The same is denied till date.
