ORDER
The order of ad-hoc promotion to the Grade of Deputy Secretary of Central Secretariat Service in respect of the 174 Under Secretaries was issued vide this Department’s Order of even number dated 11.12.2020. Further, instructions were issued vide this Department’s Office Memorandum No. 5/10/2020-CS.I(U)Pt. dated 18.12.2020 & 19.12.2020 to concerned Ministries/Departments/Cadre Units to issue instructions to the promoted officers in all grades to assume the charge immediately and not later than 21.12.2020 failing which the promotion orders with respect to non-joinee officers will be liable to be withdrawn, apart from debarment from ad-hoc promotion or other suitable consequences.
