DoP NOTIFICATION EXTENDS UPPER AGE RELAXATION FOR GROUP C AND D EMPLOYEES SEEKING GOVT SERVICE TO MORE ORGANISATIONS

VISHNU NEOPANEY
GANGTOK, 05 Dec: The State Government has notified the policy decision to extend the upper age limit of 50 years for Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ employees for the purpose of recruitment in Government service to more organizations. This relaxation was thus far in practice for Muster Roll, Adhoc, Substitute, Contract and Work Charge employees of State Government Departments and undertakings and has now been extended to more organizations, with these organisations now clearly spelled out.
A Department of Personnel Notification issued on 23 November 2012 expands the upper age limit of 50 years “for the purpose of Government service” to now also extend to Group C and D employees working under “the State Government Departments and under NHPC, other Central Government Establishment or Undertakings in the State of Sikkim, local employees who are working in Banks, Sikkim Manipal, Sikkim University, Vinayak Mission and employees engaged by IT in Common Services Centres as Computer Operator on Muster Roll/ Adhoc/Substitute / Contract/ Work Charge basis”.
The Governor has given his consent to this policy initiative and the Notification has been issued in his name by the Department of Personnel, Administration Reforms, Training & Public Grievances.
The Notification records that it “supersedes earlier notification issued on this behalf”.
It may also be recalled that the State Government has established a one-man Commission headed by Justice (Retd.) Malay Sengupta formerly of Sikkim High Court on the regularization of Muster Roll, Adhoc, Substitute, Contract and Work Charged employees. The Commission had recommended regularization in a phased manner along with 50 percent reservation in regularization for such workers in regular government service.
