The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued new instructions requiring Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Public Sector Banks (PSBs) to conduct periodic reviews of their employees and submit monthly reports. According to an Office Memorandum dated June 27, Central Ministries and Departments are directed to promptly identify employees eligible for review under Fundamental/Pension Rules and refer their cases to the Review Committee. Additionally, Ministries/Departments must instruct PSUs, Banks, Autonomous Institutions, and Statutory bodies under their administration to undertake these reviews.
The objective is to ensure that employees with questionable integrity or ineffective performance are not retained in government service. The DoPT emphasizes the submission of monthly reports detailing actions taken, due by the 15th of each month starting from July.
For Central Government officers and employees, the pre-mature retirement provision (Compulsory Retirement Scheme or CRS) is governed by Rule 56 J&I of Fundamental Rules for Group A, B, and C category, and Rule 48 of CCS Pension Rules for other government servants. This allows the government to retire employees prematurely in the public interest, typically after they turn 50/55 years or complete 30 years of service. The process includes a three-month notice period or equivalent pay and allowances. Review committees evaluate cases based on criteria such as integrity and effectiveness to recommend names for premature retirement.
However, it remains unclear whether the same mechanisms apply uniformly to officers and employees across PSUs and banks. While PSUs conduct health check-ups for employees aged 50 years, it does not affect job continuity, according to a senior official from a prominent CPSE. Actions against officers or employees can be initiated at any time, unrelated to routine health assessments.
Similarly, a HR official from a major public sector bank mentioned health check-ups are conducted for employees completing 30 years or reaching 55 years, but these are not linked to retirement decisions. Employees involved in suspicious activities are typically not assigned sensitive postings.
As of now, officials from CPSEs and PSBs report they have not yet received specific instructions based on the new DoPT Office Memorandum.
Really Good Decision not only Central Government but also each every State Government should follow same Rule
India definitely move to top position
In economy.
That is a good job. Surely Govt should do it. Before that the Government must clear what work is to be done for PSB or PSE Employees. If it is clear and set a benchmark then this decision is certainly welcome. Still now the government is not sure that whether it wants to earn profit from PSBs / PSEs or want to run as a government department with social objective. Both cannot be possible. If it ensures that the PSBs to make profit, let government should not interfere. But it wants all its social objects to be implemented through PSBs /PSEs. How can a PSB make profit like a private bank sanctioning Mudra Loans and APYs
First let the Government ensure what he wants and ask our efficiency.
Superb Sir, what you said is 100% Correct.
When the aim is to push the PSU & PSB into loss and wind off those, no one can help.
What if politicians and ministers fail to perform and doesn’t meet their promise like->Bring back black money
>Reduce fuel rate
>reduce cost of living
>failure to create jobs
>failing in opening new government organizations
THE REVIEW OF THE OFFICIAL WILL BE CONDUCTED ON PERFORMANCE BASIS WHICH IS GOOD DECISION.
BUT OFFICIAL WHO OILING / BUTTERING TO HIS/HER BOSE WITH LESS / NO PERFORMANCE, WHAT WILL BE THEM?
Inefficient government must be removed.
Public should also have rights to review goverment
This gives immense powers to the Appraising Authorities. If performance evaluation is objectively & fairly done, then ,yes, it is a Good Tool to improve efficiency. However, it can be grossly misused by Appraisers to “teach a lesson” to persons they do not like. It’s a two edged sword. Maybe an ulterior agenda to Remove 50/55+ aged Employees before Superannuation , cost-cutting????
Only Writing bullshit will not top India economy
When it is in the rules, why emphasise it now?
Do the staff in Govt work without chai-pani?
Why shd a letter or grievance not be replied effectively, within 1month? Any delay in a full &proper reply, shd be deemed as inefficiency …due to corruption.
All public grievances can be addressed/solved only by the Govt. It is God for citizens.
For a start, take-up a 100 cases in each C/S Govt office, Municipality, etc. Check out property returns, vehicles, accts of near ones, etc. College where their children are doing Dr / Engg. Their lifestyles like drinking, smoking, partying, etc.
The very fact that there are illegal activities all-round, is evidence that officials are inefficient due to corruption.
It is not that seniors dont know but the entire system is lax.
Toning-up will happen only when you start. No time for that, sadly.
