ORDER
Whereas the Central Secretariat Stenographers Service Private Secretary
Grade (Limited Departmental Competitive Examination) Regulations, 2010
provide that for being eligible to appear in the Private Secretary Grade
(Limited Departmental Competitive Examination) any regular Personal
Assistant of the Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service (CSSS)
possessing a Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized University, on the
crucial date, inter-alia, should satisfy the following condition :-
He/She should have rendered not less than three years’ of approved and continuous service in the grade.
Provided that if he/she had been appointed to the Personal Assistant of
the Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service on the results of the
competitive examination, including a Limited Departmental Competitive
Examination, such an examination should have been held not Less than
three years before the crucial date and he/she should have rendered not
less than two years approved and continuous service in that grade.
2. And whereas, in pursuance to the notice for the Combined Section
Officers/Stenographers’ (Grade- B/Grade-I) Limited Departmental
Competitive Examination (LDCE) 2012 & 2013, representations from PAs
of CSSS appointed to the grade through LDCE mode were received in this
Department seeking relaxation in the eligibility criteria to appear in
the Private Secretary Grade Limited Departmental Competitive
Examination, 2012 and 2013.
3. And whereas, on examination of the representations it was observed
that the LDC Examination 2009 and 2010 for promotion to the grade of PAs
were conducted by the Staff Selection Commission on 5th July, 2009 and
4th July, 2010 respectively. The crucial date for counting of three
years of length of service for eligibility criterion for PS Grade LDCE,
2012 and 2013 being 1st JuLy, 2012 and 1st July, 2013 respectively, the
PAs appointed through LDCE mode on the basis of the said examinations
are thus not eligible for appearing in the PS Grade LDCE 2012 and 2013.
4. And whereas, it was further observed that the PAs appointed to the
Grade through Seniority Quota for SL Years 2009 and 2010 are eligible as
per the provision for appearing in the PS grade LDC Examination 2012
and 2013 whereas the PAs of 2009 and 2010 appointed through LDCE mode do
not fulfill the said eligibility criteria despite some of them being
placed higher in the ranking in the Select Lists, 2009 and 2010 of PA
Grade. It was noted that the said provision in eligibility criterion of
the said examination unduly places the PAs who have been appointed as
regular PAs through the mode of LDC Examination of 2009 and 2010 at
disadvantage.
5. And Now, therefore, it has been decided in consultation with the
UPSC, as provided under Rute 23 of the Central Secretariat
Stenographers’ Service Rules 2010, to give one time relaxation in the
condition relating to the eligibility criterion of regular Personal
Assistants appointed through LDCE, contained in the Regulation 4 (i) of
Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service Private Secretary Grade
(Limited Departmental Competitive Examination) Regulation, 2010, for
appearing in the Private Secretary Grade LDCE, 2012 and 2013 of CSSS.
Consequently regular PAs of CSSS appointed through the results of LDCE
for the years 2009 and 2010 will be eligible to appear in the Combined
Section Officers/Stenographers’ (Grade-B/Grade-I) Limited Departmental
Competitive Examination 2012 & 2013 (Category —IV, PS Grade of CSSS)
respectively to be conducted by UPSC.
