Maharashtra cadre officials oppose exam plan for IAS promotion




MUMBAI: The Maharashtra civil service
officers' association has objected to the Centre's proposal to hold a
competitive examination for promotion of state revenue officials to the
Indian Administration Service (IAS) cadre.

A month ago, the
Centre proposed that instead of nominating state revenue cadre on the
basis of seniority, the Union Public Service Commission hold a
competitive examination for such nominees.




At present, additional collectors are inducted into the IAS on the
basis of their seniority and their confidential service record of the
last five years. During the last five years, an average of 10 additional
collectors were inducted into the IAS.

"The new scheme will
result in injustice to several candidates. Most of the southern states
have rejected the proposal. Maharashtra, too, should reject it," a
senior office-bearer of the state civil service officers' association
said. "We will soon submit a memorandum to chief minister Prithviraj
Chavan and chief secretary J K Banthia to lodge a protest against the
central plan. The CM and the chief secretary should discuss the pros and
cons of the proposal in the cabinet and with the office-bearers of the
association before taking a final decision."

There are 550 deputy
collectors and 180 additional collectors in Maharashtra. All additional
collectors are eligible for induction into the IAS, depending on the
number of vacant posts.

"So far, the state government has not
received the proposal, but the new scheme should be considered," said
Banthia. "Once we receive the Centre's proposal, we will take a decision
on whether or not to accept the scheme."

Currently, it takes a
minimum of 20 years for a state revenue officer to be inducted into the
IAS. The Centre's reasoning is that the new scheme will ensure that
officers are inducted into the IAS earlier and adequate weightage is
given to the number of years an official has put in the service.


"We have additional collectors who have put in 20-23 years, but are
still waiting for induction into the IAS. The Centre has proposed an
exam for them. Their experience would be given due importance," Banthia
said.

Now, ACRs won’t hold good for promotion for state civil, police service officers


NEW DELHI: Impressive annual confidential reports
(ACRs) of the state civil/police service officers will no longer be
enough to get them inducted into IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service
(IFS) through promotion. Now, they will have to appear in a competitive
examination, which is to be conducted annually by the UPSC. (Click anywhere to read Indian Administrative Service (Appointment by Induction)Regulation 2013

At
present, induction of state service officers into elite All India
Services is made on the basis of review of their ACRs by a departmental
promotion panel where officers upto 54 years are eligible for promotion.


Usually, one-third of senior duty posts are reserved for
promotion under the current method of induction. This practice will
change under a new scheme of the selection process for appointment by
promotion or selection to the various cadres of All India Service. 




"Government may in future
also opt for the same method of promotions for officers within the
central civil services," said an official.

After fine-tuning
the proposed change in the scheme, the Centre on Tuesday wrote to all
the states asking them to give their "considered opinion" on the
decision by May 31.

Though the Centre had sent a similar letter
to the states earlier as well, it did not set any deadline. The
ministry of personnel - which wrote to chief secretaries of all states
on Tuesday — this time appears determined to allow the UPSC to conduct
the competition examination for this purpose from this year. The note
says that if any state fails to give its comments, "it will be presumed
that the state government does not
have any comment to offer in this regard and further necessary action will be taken accordingly".


Under the new scheme, the selection will now be made through a
comprehensive three-stage process - written examination, interview and
service records — carrying a maximum of 1,000 marks. The maximum 550
marks (55%) will be allocated for written examination, whereas 250 marks
(25%) will be set aside for service records of aspiring officers. The
remaining 200 marks (20%) will be kept for interview.

The competitive examination will be open only for those state civil/police service officers who complete minimum eight years.


The examination will test the aptitude, general awareness and state and
service specific knowledge of officers before preparing a merit list
for their promotion and induction into elite central services. Service
specific knowledge and aptitude test will carry maximum weight in the
written component of the examination. 




Under the scheme, the
number of officers of state civil services who will be called for the
written examination will be five times the substantive vacancies in the
order of seniority in that service. Assessment of service records will
also be made objectively under the new system.
