(a) the total number of regular Central Secretariat Service
Cadre offficers holding the posts physically in each
Ministry/Department vis-a-vis IAS deputationists in the grade of
Deputy Secretary;
(b) the number of posts held by CSS Officers amply reflects
that the Deputy Secretary grade belongs to their cadre or
otherwise; and
(c) the number of posts held by CSS Officers constitute the
bottom line of 25% as laid down by the Department of Personnel
and Training, Ministry-wise?
MINISTER OF STATE OF DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND TRAINING AND
DEPARTMENT OF PENSIONS AND PENSIONERS WELFARE IN THE MINISTRY OF
PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS (SMT. VASUNDHARA RAJE)
(a): As on 1.3.2001, 60 CSS officers and 122 IAS officers were
working against regular posts of Deputy Secretary. The
Ministry/Department wise break up is given at Annexure.
(b): As per the provisions contained in the Central Staffing
Scheme, all posts of the rank of Under Secretary and above in the
Government of India are to be filled on tenure deputation from
All India Services and the participating group `A` services of
the Central Government, excluding such posts of Under Secretary
and Deputy Secretary as are filled by CSS officers.
(c): At present,as per the policy laid down by the Appointments
Committee of the Cabinet, not less than 25% of the posts of
Deputy Secretaries in each Ministry/Department should be filled
by the CSS officers. However, the number of posts of Deputy
Secretary keeps changing from time to time as officers of All
India Services/Group `A` Central Services are re-designated as
Director on fulfillment of the prescribed requirements.
Accordingly, ensuring 25% of Deputy Secretary level posts being
held by CSS officers in each Ministry/Department at every point
in time, may not be possible. However, in the overall strength
of Deputy Secretaries in Government of India, it is ensured that
not less than 25% of them are CSS officers including those
officers who are in the grade of Deputy Secretary on personal
upgradation basis.
