(SHRI V. NARAYANASAMY)
(a) There are no rules for central deputation to PSUs. It may be mentioned that the normal route of appointment to a Board level post in PSU
is not deputation but on immediate absorption basis. The appointments of various Board level functionaries in PSUs (i.e. MD/CMDs and Functional
Directors) are done in a transparent manner in consultation with Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) by the administrative Ministries/Departments.
In special circumstances a post may be exempted from the rule of immediate absorption. The instructions for exemption of post of PSUs from appointment on
immediate absorption basis have been issued by Department of Public Enterprises and are at ANNEXURE.
(b) & (c) This Department is not aware of any lobby. No such incidence has been reported by any Ministry/Department.
(d) In view of answer at (a), the question does not arise.
