Civil Services Boards to be set up in AP, Telengana

For the first time a Civil Services Board (CSB) would be set up in the state to make recommendations for all appointments of IPS cadre officers. A six-member board comprising chief secretary as chairman and DGP as one of the members would be set up.

The Central government, in consultation with the state governments concerned has made rules further to amend the Indian Police Service (Cadre ) Rules 1954.

"These rules may be called the Indian Police Service (Cadre) Amendment Rules, 2014 and they shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazettee. For rule 7, all appointments of cadre officers shall be made on the recommendation of the Civil Services Board. All appointments to the cadre posts referred to in sub-rule (1) shall be made in the case of a state Cadre and a joint cadre by the state government concerned. Provided that the Central government or the state government may transfer a cadre officer for the purpose of filling leave vacancies or for making temporary arrangements for a period not exceeding three months, delegate its power of making appointments to cadre posts to Heads of Departments," according to an order issued by government.

A cadre officer, appointed to any cadre post shall hold office for at least two years unless in the meantime he or she has been promoted, retired or sent on deputation outside the state or training exceeding two months. A cadre officer, appointed to any ex-cadre post shall hold office for such period as may be specified by the state government for that post, unless in the meantime he or she has been promoted, retired or sent on deputation outside the state or training exceeding two months.

The Central government or the state government as the case may be, may transfer a cadre officer before the minimum specified period on the recommendation of the Civil Services Board. The competent authority may reject the recommendation of the Civil Services Board by recording their reasons therefore.

According to an order, every state government shall constitute a Civil Services Board which shall consist of chief secretary as chairman, principal secretary or secretary, department of personnel in the state government as member secretary, senior most additional chief secretary or chairman, Board of Revenue or Financial Commissioner or an officer of equivalent rank and status, principal secretary or secretary, Home and DGP as members.

The Board shall make recommendation for all appointments of cadre officers. The Civil Services Board shall examine the cases of officers who are proposed to be transferred before completion of minimum period of service and may also consider transfer before the tenure fixed based on such circumstances as it deems fit. The board may recommend the competent authority the names of officers for transfer before completion of minimum tenure with reasons to be recorded in writing.

The board shall seek detailed justification from the administration department of the concerned state government for the transfer of an officer before the specified tenure. The board shall consider the report of the administration department along with any other inputs it may have from other reliable sources, obtain the comments of the officer proposed to be transferred based on the circumstances presented to it in justification of the proposal.
