Promotion: RBE No.100/1991 – Relieving of Employees

No.E(NG)I/90/PM1/11, dated 09.05.1991

Sub: Relieving of employees on promotion – Instructions regarding.

1. Instances have come to the notice of the Board where staff have not been relieved by the Administration in time even on promotion, for long periods on one ground or the other, resulting in claims for stepping up of pay of the concerned staff. Recently, such a case was also taken up by AIRF in the forum of PNM.

2. The matter has been considered carefully by the Board in the light of deliberations held in the PNM Meeting and it has been decided that while the benefit of stepping up of pay is not permissible in such cases, the Administration should take special care to ensure that the employees are relieved without any undue delay so that they may join the new place of posting on promotion in time. Cases of staff not being relieved even within 3 months of the issue of the promotion order, should be put up to DRM or Head of the Office and the Controlling Officer held accountable for not relieving the concerned staff.
