Rule 38 - Deputation Options | KartavyaDesk

CCS Pension

Original Rule Text

(2) The autonomous body shall frame its rules and regulations within a time frame not exceeding five years. After such rules and regulations are framed by the autonomous body, all employees on deemed deputation shall be asked, within a period not exceeding three months from the date of notification of the rules and regulations by the autonomous body, to exercise their option to revert back to the Government or to seek permanent absorption in the autonomous body. Such employees shall be asked to exercise this option within a period of three months from the date of the communication asking the employees to exercise the option.

What This Means

Once the autonomous body finalizes its rules (within a 5-year timeframe), the employees on deemed deputation must be given a chance to decide whether they want to return to their parent government department or permanently join the autonomous body. They have a three-month window from the date they receive official notification to make this decision. This ensures that employees are not left in limbo and have control over their career path.

Practical Example

Mr. Sharma, a government employee, was on deemed deputation to the National Research Institute (NRI) for three years. In July 2024, NRI finalized its own set of rules and regulations. On August 1, 2024, Mr. Sharma received an official communication from NRI asking him to choose between reverting to his parent government department or seeking permanent absorption at NRI. Mr. Sharma now has until October 31, 2024 (three months from August 1st) to make his decision and inform NRI accordingly. If he chooses to revert, he will return to his original government post. If he chooses absorption, he will become a permanent employee of NRI, subject to their rules and regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the autonomous body doesn't frame its rules within 5 years?▼
While the rule specifies a 5-year timeframe, the implications of not meeting this deadline are not explicitly stated within Rule 38. However, it would likely necessitate further directives from the government regarding the status of employees on deemed deputation.
What if an employee doesn't respond within the 3-month window?▼
The rule doesn't explicitly state the consequence of not responding. However, it's likely the autonomous body would follow up. Continued non-response might be interpreted as a lack of interest in absorption, potentially leading to a reversion to the parent department.
Does this rule apply to all types of deputation?▼
No, Rule 38 specifically applies to 'deemed deputation' where the employee remains technically a government employee while working in the autonomous body. Regular deputation rules might differ.
What if the employee chooses absorption but the autonomous body rejects their application?▼
The rule doesn't cover this scenario. The autonomous body's rules and regulations would likely govern the process of permanent absorption, including any eligibility criteria or selection procedures. Rejection by the autonomous body would likely mean the employee reverts to their parent department.
