Dated 1st March, 2011
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Overstay while on deputation.
Undersigned is directed to refer to this Departments OM of even number
dated the 17th June, 2010 and to say that as per existing instructions
no extension in deputation beyond the fifth year is allowed. Further, as
per the OM No.14017/30/2006-Estt (RR) dated the 29th November, 2006,
the deputationist officer is deemed to have been relieved on the date of
expiry of the deputation period unless the competent authority has with
requisite approvals, extended the period of deputation, in writing,
prior to the date of its expiry. It is observed that despite these clear
instructions, proposals for regularization of overstay of officers on
deputation beyond the five year period continue to be received in the
Department. It is reiterated that it will be the responsibility of the
immediate superior officer to ensure that the deputationist does not
overstay. In the event of the officer overstaying for any reason
whatsoever, he/she is liable to disciplinary action and other adverse
Civil/Service consequences which would include the period of
unauthorised overstay not being counted for service for the purpose of
pension and that any increment due during the period of unauthorized
overstay being deferred with cumulative effect, till the date on which
the officer rejoins his parent cadre.
2. All Ministries/Departments may please note that henceforth no ex-post
facto approval for regularization of overstay on deputation would be
allowed.
