ORDER:
1. Act 2 of 1994, first read above, laid down the norms and
procedures for regulation of appointments to public services and
rationalization of staffing patterns and pay structures. This Act
prohibited Government Departments, Corporations, Universities and
Local bodies etc., from making unauthorized appointments through the
backdoor of NMRs, daily wages or appointments on consolidated pay.
However, the Act 2 of 1994 did not put any ban on recruitment into
public services. The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued orders in
the reference second read above on the procedure to be followed in
scrutinizing the requests for direct recruitment and forward all
requests to the recruiting agencies through the Finance Department.
The Finance Department scrutinizes all requests for fresh recruitment
on a case-by-case basis, including the need and justification, the
possibility of redeployment of surplus staff and the likely financial
burden and places the proposal before the cabinet for obtaining final
orders. Once the competent authority has taken a final decision, the
Finance Department issues the necessary requisition to the concerned
recruiting agency like Andhra Pradesh Public service Commission or
District Selection Committee, to make the recruitment to the extent
approved.
10. With effect from 1st April, 2003, all departments shall
maintain separate rosters for permanent and temporary posts of all
Core-functional categories in order to identify direct recruitment and
promotion vacancies. These rosters shall also indicate the vacancies
reserved for various categories such as scheduled castes, scheduled
tribes etc., While promotion quota of core functional temporary posts
may be filled up through temporary promotions from the feeder
categories, no direct recruitment quota of temporary posts shall be
filled up through any adhoc promotions.
18. Government orders fourth and sixth read above lay down
the procedure to be followed for forwarding the requisitions to the
recruiting agencies to initiate the recruitment process. A question has
arisen whether the role of Finance Department is limited to examine
the request of the Administrative Department from the perspective of
redeployment of surplus staff only or does it encompass larger issues
of the need and justification for proposed recruitment, and its financial
impact on the budget. Government has carefully examined this issue
and hereby clarifies that a mere availability of vacancies cannot be
treated as adequate justification for a department to go ahead and
initiate direct recruitment. Each Department has to justify the need
for filling up of vacancies and get a formal approval from the
competent authority. In the absence of effective functioning of the
Implementation Committees, Finance Department has undertaken the
scrutiny of recruitment proposals on a case-by-case basis, particularly
in view of the financial implications of such recruitment proposals,
often unbudgeted, which is in accordance with their mandate as per
6
20. This Order shall come into force with immediate effect and
shall apply to all government departments, public undertakings,
autonomous institutions, local bodies, and all such institutions as
receive grants-in-aid for salaries from the State Government.
Necessary amendments shall be made in the Andhra Pradesh State
and Subordinate Services Rules 1996 and other relevant rules.
