What This Means

Appendix 9-19 of the Delegation of Financial Powers Rules, 1978, outlines the information required when proposing the creation of new posts within a government organization. Think of it as a checklist ensuring that any new position is justified, financially sound, and aligns with existing organizational structures and recruitment policies. This section applies whenever a department or organization seeks approval for creating a new position, whether it's a brand-new entity or an existing one. It affects everyone involved in the process, from the initiating officer to the financial advisor and the cadre controlling authority. It ensures transparency and accountability in the creation of government jobs. The information requested helps the approving authority to make an informed decision about the necessity and viability of the proposed post.

Practical Example

The Department of Rural Development wants to create a new position of 'Assistant Project Officer' at Pay Level 6 to support the implementation of a new rural infrastructure scheme. Following Appendix 9-19, they must provide details on how the position will be filled (direct recruitment through a competitive exam), the financial impact (salary, allowances, etc.), and potential matching savings (identifying a redundant clerical post at Pay Level 3 that can be surrendered). They also need to outline the hierarchy of the cadre, confirm that the cadre controlling authority has approved the new post, and provide the organization's sanctioned strength and vacancy details. The FA, Mr. Sharma, must certify that the post offered for matching savings is a live post and not surrendered earlier. A recruitment plan must also be provided.
