               In the reference first read above, consolidated terms and conditions of deputation were issued wherein it is ordered that, the total period of deputation should not exceed five years, with the period being reckoned from the date of relief from service to the date on which  charge is taken of a post under the Government on reversion from Foreign Service.  The period of deputation shall be subject to a maximum of five years of which the initial period of deputation upto 3 years shall be sanctioned by the Head of the Department if he is the competent authority to order transfers and postings of his subordinates.  Otherwise, the Government in the Administrative Department not below the rank of Deputy Secretary to Government shall issue orders sanctioning the deputation of Foreign Service.  Extension beyond the initial period of 3 years i.e., for a further period upto 2 years shall be decided by the concerned Secretary to Government where such extension is considered necessary in public interest.  In case where Government is the authority competent to order transfers and postings, the cases of deputation to Foreign Service should be sanctioned only by Government and not by the Head of the Department.  However, in cases of deputation of the State Police employees to the Ministry of Railways and to the Central Bureau of Investigation (Special Police Establishment), the period of deputation shall be 7 years. Under no circumstances extensions beyond the above specified periods will be considered by Government.        

2. In the reference second read above, orders were issued for review of cases of deputationists periodically before completion of permitted period of deputation and to take prompt action for their repatriation on completion of initial/extended period of deputation.  

3. In the reference third and fourth read above, orders were issued that if a Government Servant continues on Foreign Service beyond the period approved by the State Government, he shall be deemed to have resigned from the service.    

4. Despite the above orders prohibiting continuation of Government Servant on foreign service beyond five years, instances have come to the notice of the

 

Government that the Government Servants who are deputed on foreign service are allowed beyond the prescribed limit of five years and in some cases, the employees are repatriated to their parent department, and again they are sent on deputation after a very short spell of time either to the same borrowing department or other departments.  

5. Fundamental Rules are silent for deputing Government Servants on foreign service again after completion of permitted period of five years and on repatriation to the parent departments.  Therefore, it is felt expedient and necessary to issue orders stipulating cooling  period between one deputation to another deputation of the Government employees.  Accordingly, Government after careful examination of the issue, order as follows:

(i) In case of the employees who have availed the maximum period of deputation of 5 years either in one organization or in different organizations, they have to necessarily work at least one year in the parent department before they are considered for further deputation to any organization. 

(ii) In cases of employees who are repatriated to parent department due to their promotion in the parent department they should not be considered for further deputation till they satisfactorily complete probation in the promoted post. 

(iii) In case of employees who are repatriated to parent department for the reasons of disciplinary action, they should not be considered for deputation till the disciplinary case is closed and the currency of punishment is completed. 

(iv) In the case of employees who are repatriated to parent department for other reasons than promotion and disciplinary action, such employees should not be considered for deputation till they work in parent department at least 6 months excluding any type of leave availed by them during that period.  

(v) The deputation of employees from one Local Cadre post to another Local Cadre post is not permissible.  It should be strictly in accordance with Presidential Order and G.O.Ms.No.610, GA (SPF.A) Department, dated 31.12.1985 read with GA (MC) Department’s Memo. No.9543/MC/2007-12, dated 2.7.2007.
